Commercial Construction.Built Right.

JH Construction is a licensed general contractor: CSLB#929897, operating in Northern California since 2009. Commercial remodels, TIs, capital projects, and post-loss construction are all performed under the same GC license. A GC can pull permits, manage all trades, and deliver end-to-end projects that a restoration-only contractor cannot.

JH handles a broad range, from single-unit TIs in the $20,000–$100,000 range to large-scale commercial fire or water loss reconstruction exceeding $2 million. Our core vertical is commercial and multifamily large-loss reconstruction across the Bay Area, Central Valley, and Sacramento regions. CSLB#929897.

Yes, this is one of the core advantages of working with a GC from the start. Once JH is on-site, mobilization is complete and trades are sequenced. Adding adjacent scope or capital work mid-project happens under the same contract and project manager, no new mobilization required.

A TI covers the buildout or modification of a leased commercial space, framing new demising walls, ceilings, flooring, lighting, HVAC distribution, plumbing, and finish work. JH manages all trades under the general contract with permit pulling and inspection management included. CSLB#929897.

Often yes. For multifamily buildings, JH routinely phases work to keep unaffected units occupied. High-noise phases like demolition and concrete cutting are scheduled after hours or weekends when needed. Maintaining operational continuity is standard practice on every JH project.

Construction planning begins at JH during mitigation, not after it. The project team reviews the mitigation scope, identifies structural conditions, and begins developing the reconstruction scope while drying and remediation are still active. This overlap eliminates the gap between mitigation and reconstruction that typically costs property owners weeks.

Scope supplements are standard in post-loss construction. Hidden conditions found during demolition are documented with photos and written scope descriptions, then submitted as formal supplements to the carrier in Xactimate format. JH builds these supplements and manages the carrier negotiation. CSLB#929897.

Yes. All post-loss reconstruction scopes are built line-item in Xactimate, every line supported by field documentation: photos, measurements, and material specs. This produces a carrier-accepted scope that survives adjuster review without revision. CSLB#929897.

Frequently yes. California building codes require that when work exceeds certain thresholds, typically 50% of the building's value, the structure must be brought to current code. This is one of the most contested areas of post-loss construction. JH documents code upgrade requirements with jurisdictional support and submits them to carriers as part of the reconstruction scope.

Yes, always. Pulling permits as the licensed GC is a fundamental responsibility, not an optional service. Unpermitted work creates title issues, insurance coverage problems, and resale complications that fall on the property owner. JH pulls all permits and manages all inspections. CSLB#929897.

Change orders are documented, priced, and submitted for owner approval before work proceeds, not after. Hidden conditions found in the field are photographed, described in writing, and presented with cost and schedule impact before JH acts on them. No verbal change orders. CSLB#929897.

General conditions are the project overhead costs that support field operations, project management, site supervision, temp utilities, construction trailers, safety equipment, and similar items. On larger projects, general conditions typically represent 8–15% of total cost. JH documents and justifies all general conditions in Xactimate format for insurance scopes.
