Laura H. from Arvada, CO
Several months ago, we had our kitchen redone by JLV Home Improvement (303-517-0439). I had to write a review because from start to finish our experience was first rate. We had no problems or issues and we have a wonderful, beautiful new kitchen. The only question I had during the redo was why did we wait so long to do it? I took before and after pictures and Jim and Dan have their smiling faces on, which are the real deal. Our initial meeting with Jim and then his referral to the kitchen store to pick out what we wanted went so smooth. We couldn't have asked for nicer, competent, honest guys to work with. We ordered quartz counters because of Jim's recommendation and we couldn't be happier with it. When the counters and sink arrived they fit like a glove. The guys that did the measuring were exact and put them in with no issues. The cabinets were put in by Jim and Dan, masters at their craft. The cabinet handles did the trick, as opposed to no handles at all. Jim and Dan know what they are doing and they do it expertly. I cannot recommend anyone more highly than these guys for your remodeling, kitchen and bath needs, interior trim, doors, painting, texturing, drywall repair. JLV Home Improvement is licensed and insured. Jim will also do a free estimate before he proceeds so you know what to expect. Because my husband and I were working at the time, we just gave Jim our house key and they were able to come and go as needed. We absolutely trusted them and had no problem whatsover.






Beautiful bathroom remodel
Ellen from Lakewoo, CO
Jim and Dan did a beautiful job on our bathroom remodel.They were prompt, detail oriented and reliable. They turned a dysfunctional bathroom into a beautiful retreat. I would highly recommend Jim for your remodeling needs!






Excellent!
Andy from Boulder, CO
Jim came recommended from a friend and he did a wonderful job remodeling my kitchen. He was professional, friendly and honest. The job was priced right and it cost what he said it would. Additionally, he only works on one-job-at-a-time, which means the job is completed in a timely manner (my kitchen only took 6 days from demo to finish). He was helpful during the design phase, and he takes great pride in his craftsmanship, which makes a world of difference. He also works with honest suppliers. I would recommend Jim to anyone.






Great Job! Done right done fast! A+
Greta and Joe Roman from Arvada, CO
Jim had our old circa 1979 main bath demolished and replaced with a sleek modern bath in under 10 days!
JLV Home Improvement was a referral from our next door neighbors. They were very trustworthy and thoughtful regarding working with our dogs in the house while we were at work and cleaned up each day
We love our new bathroom and will without doubt hire JLV Home Improvement for our next job. A no brainer.






The best contractor
Edward J. Wittlif from Lakewood, Colorado
Jim tackled our basement bathroom project with professionalism and expertise. He worked with us on the layout and gave us exactly what we wanted along with some improvements based on his experience that made the project even better. Jim's estimate was right on and there were no surprises. Jim has made sure that my wife and I are pleased with his work.
Professionally speaking as an architect I was more than pleased with his plumbing, electrial and tile workmanship. Jim is a contractor that if you use him you wont be disappointed.






As promised and so much more
Karen from Boulder, CO
I was lucky to have found Jim, as the search for a remodeling team was a depressing process. Jim and Dan created the most stunningly beautiful kitchen and bath, surmounting challenges deftly, never scolding me for my difficult choices, and doing so SO much more than I ever asked of them. Every time I look at my kitchen I see something "special" they did, just because they felt it was right and proper. This is by far the cleanest, most perfectly crafted job I've ever seen. They are nothing short of magical. I will hand out his bus. cards on street corners.






Challenging project with superb results!
Stan and Joni D. from Arvada, CO
Jim and Dan were both professional and personable throughout our project. They did a complete remodel on a 59-year-old house, and so ran into several challenging issues. They faced each one with experience and good humor; we got great results. We absolutely recommend Jim and Dan, and will call them again when we have new projects.






Challenging project with superb results!
Stan and Joni D. from Arvada, CO
First of all, Jim scheduled an appointment to give us a bid within days of our initial contact. He was prompt, prepared, professional and honest from the start. We had other contractors lined up to also bid the job, and it took weeks to get them to our house. We choose Jim and Dan, and have never regretted our decision. They took a job that had been started by another contractor and finished it beautifully. It was a complete remodel on an old house, so there were many challenges along the way. Jim and Dan met every one with humor and expertise; we couldn't be happier with the results. They were flexible, made suggestions and changes along the way, and we all communicated every step of the job. We will absolutely recommend them to friends and family, and we will call them when other projects come up.






Professional
Rhonda Kobi from Northglenn, CO
We are very pleased with Jim's professionalism, his desire to work with you, neatness, and timeliness. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again and refer others to his expert service.






Kitchen remodel
Jim and Carrie from Westminster, CO
We have read all of these comments. We agree with every one. We wanted an update to our 24 year old small enclosed kitchen. We needed cabinets, countertop, lighting upgrade, wall removal, and exterior window resizing. Jim did not just ”bid on the work”. He showed an enthusiasm from the beginning to give us a project we would be proud to show off. Communication through out the project was a highlight. Jim was very clear from the beginning about what we should expect and what he needed from us. We were prepared for a lot of dust, clutter, and chaos. Jim and Dan took great care each day to leave our house as clean and accessible as they could. All through the project Jim and Dan were watching for issues and making suggestions for finishing details that improved the end result. Jim also connected us with a cabinet and counter top designer / supplier that saved us money and got us a better product than we had been able to find on our own. In the end, Jim and Dan doubled the usable space of our main floor and gave us a kitchen we never thought we could have in our house.






Happy With My Kitchen
Janet Cape from Denver, Colorado
First off, Jim was very prompt every day. He took pride in his work as an experienced craftsman. From start to finish of my new kitchen, I was satisfied with the quality of work and timely completion of the project. He and his efficient crew respected my property and cleanup was systematic and thorough.






Repairs
Doyle Ivey from Arvada, Colorado
Jim did some repairs in our bath and installed lights in our kitchedn ceiling together with ceiling repairs. He did excellent and careful work. We are very pleased with the entire job.





Superb workmanship
Janet Underwood from Aurora, CO
Jim just finished remodeling my bathroom and did an excellent job. I trust Jim's expertise and by him always doing a superb job in my home, makes me a long time returning customer. I trust Jim in my home when I'm not there and never doubt that the job will look the best ever. Jim takes pride in what he does and does it well!






Highly Recommend
cinma41 from May 12 2009
Jim and Dan just finished painting my living room, kitchen, entryway and hallway. They were totally professional, they were at my house exactly when they said they would be and cleaned up everyday before they left. The house looks incredible. They did some drywall work and trim before they painted and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend them and will have them back to do other rooms in the house.
Pros:Prompt, clean, professional.
Cons:None






Above and Beyond ...
Lena J from May 15 2009
Jim and Dan have helped keep our Foothills Retreat Home in pristine condition over the past ten years. They were unafraid to tackle issues that stymied other contractors. Given a free hand, Jim's creative solutions amazed and delighted us (especially since he was always budget-minded, and sensitive toward our long and short term goals.) Thanks to him and his skilled mates, we are proud of our beautifully maintained and often complimented home...
Pros:Professional in every way.... Neat, and careful to do things the "right" way ... Good people ..
Cons:none






High Quality Professional Work
gered from June 11 2009
Jim and Dan have painted both the interior and exterior of our home, remodeled our bathroom and utility room. Their work has always been of the highest quality and completed on time. They are neat and clean and stand behind their work 100 percent.
Pros:Dependable, professional, and always go the extra mile.
Cons:None






A Homeowner's Best Resource !
dzieroth from June 17 2009
Jim and Dan have done three major remodeling jobs for us, and we hope to be able to use them again for our master bathroom job. They are careful, responsive, and talented workmen, and you can rely on them to do the job just as you would like. We give them the keys to our home when they are working here ! They have done a sunroom/wet bar remodel for us that is stunning, as well as a complete basement remodel. They also provided a faux finish painter for our kitchen, who was an artist as well as a professional.






Top Notch!
Freiboth from Oct 17 2009
Jim and Dan replaced all of our windows and two sliding glass doors. Their workmanship was what you would expect from a first class professional. Minimal dust and clutter was experienced, they covered the floor and furniture that was near the windows they installed, and cleaned the area at the end of each day before they left. They were on time every day and completed the project when promised. Was pleased with the windows and doors they were able to get at a very good price. Went beyond the required to provide extras that were appreciated. Would highly recommend JLV for home improvement work.
Pros:Professional, timely, courteous
Cons:None






JLV Treats Your House Like Their Own
Gibbs from Oct 24 2009
Jim and Dan are marvelous. They have painted our home both inside and out and recently replaced all of our windows. My wife and I appreciated the time they both spent with us and they treat our house as if it were their own. I can give them the keys to the house and they go to work. A true pleasure to work with and the work is second to none.
Pros:Very meticulous, clean and outstanding craftsmanship Great value
Cons:None - can't come up with any.

A pleasure to work with
J Frederick from Jan 25 2010
Jim and Dan have done two remodeling projects (master bath and game room)and repainted both the inside and outside of my home. They have also done several trim work projects.

Pros:Professional, great communication, very skilled in a variety of areas.
Cons:None






Jobs Well Done!
Rick and Debby from Jan 28, 2010
Jim and his employees have painted from one accent wall to the entire interior and exterior of our home. They installed bathroom fixtures, toilets, and tub enclosures. Kitchen upgrades of tile, counter tops, faucets, and ceiling fans in vaulted rooms. All of this work has been done promptly and with the finest quality.
Pros:Excellent craftsmen. Quality products and service for a fair price.
Cons:Absolutely none.






JLV = Craftsmanship
Coulter from Feb 5, 2010
We have used Jim and Dan on three separate jobs. The first job included a complete kitchen remodel, demo and replacement of all carpet, patch, texture, and paint all ceilings and walls throughout the interior of the house, fix damage to wood trim (sofit, facia) and paint the exterior of house. The second job included patching several holes created for access to the main water line for a new sprinkler system that I had installed at my parents house for a father’s day gift. The third job included a complete kitchen and bath remodel on a investment property that I purchased for a rental. Honest, reasonable prices, on time, great clean up, no hidden cost, excellent craftsmanship, highest quality work. Ed & Donna

3 times happy
Ralph Silva from Feb 17, 2010
JLV Home Improvement has done three remodeling projects in my homes. A complete interior repaint, a kitchen counter top replacement, and window replacement. All the projects were done in a timely, professional manner and I received real value for the money spent. I will use their services again.
Pros:the windows made a huge improvement in an old house I remodeled. The counter top updated an old kitchen.
Cons:I did not have enough money to have JLV do more work for me.

Great Perfection and Professionalism
Julie from March 8 2010
Over many years I have had work done at my house and other homes. JLV Home Improvement has done remodeling in my bathrooms, counter tops, tiling, painting, other projects including many window replacements and popcorn ceiling removal. All of their work was perfect and they are always on time and very prompt and professional. We have no doubt we will contact them for further future projects.






Very Professional
Tammy from March 10 2010
I had a house that was a series of add-on rooms. Dull, dark and boxed in. It also had some cracks in the ceiling of the family room. I hired Jim to fix the cracks, texture the walls, and paint. While Jim was there he made some suggestions how to open things up so the rooms were more open and flowing. So I hired him to do that. He remodeled and made some of the walls into partial walls which gave viewing access to the living room and the family room from the kitchen. Then he textured the rest of the walls to match the first room and of course we painted. He really helped me with color selection. All that relatively minor remodeling really did open things up and make the house warm and comfortable. Then we remodeled the office. Again, some minor items and it transformed into a very professional office. When I sold my house I got lots of positive feedback about the how open it was and how the natural light flowed throughout the main part of the house. Jim was very professional and quick and was truly a great help to me at an affordable price. I'll hire him again.






A well-Done Job!
Jolean from April 10, 2010
I contacted Jim by getting his telephone number that had been printed on his work truck. He came the next day after I called him. He installed a washer and dryer in our existing hall closet on the main level of our house. I could not have been more pleased with the clean and timely installation. The price was fair. I wish I could afford to have him do more work on our house.






On Time and Pleasant
Shirley from April 26 2010
JLV Improvements re-tiled the shower section of a bathroom, removed other tile in bathroom, textured the walls and got it ready for painting. Jim was pleasant to work with, job was done on time and done well. Clean up was especially well done and a surprise. Certainly would have him return for any projects I might have.
