We have known Jim Shepard and availed ourselves of his services many times. First time was the renovation of our church in San Luis Obispo, and most recently on the reconstruction of our deck at home in Atascadero. Jim's crews are skilled and trustworthy. They worked tirelessly to complete the job using top grade materials, fixing and reworking any thing that was not perfect. Thanks to Jim and company for the excellent workmanship.

James V. Shepard Company made remodeling our kitchen and two bathrooms an enjoyable experience! Jim was easy to work with and very responsive to all of our concerns. His team was clean, courteous and reliable. Our kitchen and bathrooms came out beautifully and we couldn't be more pleased! We would definitely use Jim again for our next remodel!

We had an incredible experience with Jim Shepard and his team. We took a home built in 1948 to the studs while adding an additional 500 square feet. Jim's unique architectural ideas, attention to detail and top-notch construction resulted in a stunning architectural masterpiece. And he works quickly! Our home was taken to the studs and rebuilt faster than a close friend remodeled her pool-house!! Excellent service, excellent response time and excellent workmanship. Highly recommend - so much so that he is starting another remodel for me in a new home at the end of the month!!
