They did a very nice job. He is a very nice guy. His wife works with the business and did some design work for us. We were very pleased.
Description of Work
We had damage to our chimney because of an earthquake. They fixed the chimney and they did such a good job we had them put a new roof on and they re-enforced some floor joits in one room.

James provided us with a detailed breakdown off all work to be done prior to start, including cost breakdowns. Upon agreement work began. James is a perfectionist and so are his crews. All good guys you can trust. The job isn't done until you're happy. James kept us abreast of what work will be done today and tomorow, which crew will be there and what time. No problem. Overall job was done on time and on budget. James then sent a complementary cleaning lady on the last day to do a very thorough total clean-up. We proudly show our new second floor to our envious neighbors! This is the second time we used The Hills GC (James). He remodeled our three bathrooms last year. They're beautiful! BEST GENERAL CONTRACTOR IN LA!
Description of Work
remove wall to wall carpeting throughout second floor and replace with high end laminate. Smooth popcorn ceiling and paint. Paint entire three bedrooms and large hallway with staircase. Upgrade all closets, including walk-in. Custom storage cabinets under bedroom windows. Upgrade office cabinets.

I picked the Hills General Contracting because I instantly felt comfortable with Jim when he came over to give me the quote for adding a shower to the bathtub area. (Plus he told me he could get it done before Christmas - 2 weeks away) He was very personable, listened to what I wanted, made suggestions and made me feel like my voice counted. Other contractors I talked to tried to tell me what I wanted and wouldn't listen when I told them what I wanted. Marco Sr. and Marco Jr. did excellent work in my bathroom. Each day they arrived promptly and were very respectful and courteous through out the whole process. (there was a bit of miscommunication in the beginning but was straightened out the next day). At the end of the work day the Marcos would clean up the area(they even swept part of my front room) and store supplies in the tub or on my porch off to the side so it wasn't in the way of the door. They even painted 2 extra walls where no work was done so the paint on that side of the bathroom would all match. I was in contact with Jim on a daily basis and he let me know exactly what was to be accomplished each day. If I had a question or problem and contacted him he would get back to me within a few minutes with an answer or an agreeable fix to the problem. I was quoted a week and if the patch work would have been dried enough it would have only taken 4 days. I am very happy with the end result and would recommend the Hills General Contracting to my friends and family.

Excellent outcome. Beautiful tile work, glass work, counters. The job did take longer than anticipated but this was due to custom mirrors being damaged in transit a day before the Thanksgiving holiday, so took a week longer to get them installed. Then the electrician had to be rescheduled to put in the light fixtures afterwards. Looks beautiful, though. Jim apologized profusely about the problem, but it wasn't his fault, since the damage was done by the mirror company. He was available to answer any question we had & explained everything. I learned a lot from him. He was willing to walk us through everything and was here to oversee the job most of the time. I wasn't used to that since when we've had other contractors here for various things, we maybe see them once or twice & that's it. Jim was here a lot, sometimes by himself, just to check up on the work that had been done that day. He is a very detailed person and I, for one, really appreciate that from someone in charge of a project. Jim's quote was a little more than some others, but the quality & outcome make up for the higher price of the project. It truly is, "you get what you pay for". In this instance, good service, good quality, beautiful bathrooms that will last a life-time. I would trust him for any job and will be having him do some other projects for us, like a kitchen/ family room remodel.

Jim checked in with us throughout the entire project. He found the tile we needed to match the current tile. Jim also gave us ideas on how to maximize the space. He was an excellent communicator and professional. The workers were clean and covered everything during the project.

I did not use this contractor. His estimate was higher than the other estimates we received. I am sure his work would have been excellent. He uses Pacific Sales as his contractor of choice which implies to me, that he prefers top of the line materials and does high quality work. We just opted to go with a cheaper remodel from a different contractor.

I can't say enough good things about James McDugle (The Hills Gen. Contracting). He was beyond amazing. He finished ahead of schedule and stuck to his quote 100%. He kept in constant contact with me from day 1. The work is amazing and everything looks better than a showroom. No matter how many questions I had, even asking the same ones numerous times, he was always there to answer them. He was very patient when I couldn't decide about colors/handles/wood/floors/etc. and even helped me when I was stuck. They are warm, friendly, honest, and beyond professional. I will ALWAYS use The Hills for any and all projects I may have and I will ALWAYS recommend them to anyone needing help in any way. The Hills Gen. Cont. is now stuck with me as a customer for good. I can't thank them enough for everything - truly amazing work and people.

The job began on a Monday and was completed by Wednesday. All damage was fixed and paint match was perfect. Crew was professional and punctual. I was very impressed with the craftsmanship by Mr. McDugle and his crew. I would definitely use his company again and refer him to friends and family.

Our house was built in 1953 and needed extensive work inside. We were not yet living there; I had inherited the house and wanted to have the work completed prior to moving in. We hoped to restore and update the house while keeping some of its original character. When we first met with James in late August, he listened carefully to what we had in mind, made suggestions and prepared a fully-detailed estimate. Work began in early September and James was in regular contact with us, provided samples for tiles, granite countertops, paint, etc., helped us pick out plumbing fixtures and bathroom lighting, and made suggestions as work developed. (The plumbing repipe was not in the original estimate but James suggested it was advisable after viewing the piping under the house and providing us with pictures of the condition of the pipes.) Work was completed in November and we are now living here and loving our house.
Description of Work
Remodel kitchen and 2 bathrooms, including restore and add to existing kitchen cabinetry, new vanities for both bathrooms, ceramic tiles and granite countertops for all three rooms. Rebuild old shower in master bathroom and convert tub to shower tub in second bathroom. Restore natural wood floors throughout rest of house. Fix extensive cracks in plaster throughout the house. Paint entire interior. Replace existing plumbing with PEX piping throughout home. New base moulding throughout. Decorative oak window moulding around living, dining, and kitchen windows.

James is the consummate professional. He sat down with us and actually listened to what we wanted. He gave us a detailed "scope of work" write-up complete with cost breakdowns. We were always on the same page. And we needed to make a change James took it in stride. James' work is beautiful. The work done by his sub-contractors is beautiful. We now have three bathrooms that are everything we envisioned and more. We show them off to our neighbors. During the time James was here he was always very friendly, upbeat, and trustworthy. No problem leaving our home alone with him or his subs. We already talking with James about our next project. We wouldn't consider anyone else.

We were very pleased with our kitchen remodel. James was very professional and knowledgeable. He gave us a four-page estimate stating exactly the scope of work and duration. Various problems arose due to the age of the house. These problems were solved quickly and expertly. James was very punctual. He kept us informed daily about the work he was going to be doing the next day. He kept all areas clean. He even provided a person to clean our house when the job was all done. His sub-contractors were very professional and skilled. Once work began, the tasks were completed in a very timely manner. We absolutely love our dream kitchen. I would highly recommend The Hills General Contracting and I will use this company again.

A friend of ours recommended The Hills General Contracting for our bathroom remodel. We met with James, the contractor, and discussed our desires with the bathroom in addition to some other small work we were looking to have done. James promptly quoted us with a thorough breakdown of costs and we signed a contract shortly thereafter. The bathroom turned out magnificently! We couldn't be happier with the outcome. James was prompt, clean, and polite during the entire process. I would highly recommend The Hills General Contracting.
