Constraction reviews in Newport Beach, California

Chris is great!! He is punctual, clean and efficient!! I would definitely hire him again...

I highly recommend Chris Riggins and his crew they are all very professional, helpful and easy to work with. We will definitely use them for our next home improvement project.

I can't give enough thanks to Chris and the entire team that makes up Riggins Construction!

We started our initial onsite meeting with a basic remodel/upgrade plan and he ended up taking on the entire project which included fully new HVAC, Plumbing, Electric, Roofing, Drywall, Paint, Full Kitchen and even adding an upstairs loft/office//bonus room to what was just a large oversized useless attic space before. All the trades that stepped onsite were a pleasure to deal with, repectful and knew their trade very well.

From start to finish of the 6 month project Chris was extremely helpful in merging our design ideas and bringing his own to the table through brainstorming to get the end result exceptional. From planning to execution with great follow up and updates. He also stopped by the project daily making sure all was flowing nicely and keep up in the loop....Best part is it was all ON BUDGET!!

I would not hesitate to refer him to my friends and family as well use him again for any additions we need with our expanding family and some future projects I have planned. These days it's so rare to find a general contractor that knows so many details about each trade which really helps out along the process. He also has fine carpentry skills for a bunch of cool little detail stuff we added to the scope. He was able to get the finish details precise and the end result speaks for itself. The house is a custom showpiece and we couldn't be happier with our choice to hire Chris Riggins Construction. Thank You!!! 5 stars all the way

We just completed our 2nd project with Chris and as expected, he delivered quality work. He has a staff and a team of professionals who take pride in what they produce which is not the norm from a general contractor. His personal specialty is carpentry and he can create a solution to a challenging design; and he can personalize anything. He expertly used his skills to make my builders' grade kitchen island and cabinets look custom. He's the rare contractor who communicates timely and shows up when he promises. With home projects that can become frustrating, it's a pleasure working with Chris who keeps things under control. Working with Chris you can complete a project that leaves you content and delighted with the final product.

Chris is trust-worthy, hard working, thorough, detail-oriented, and skilled. This made our project successful, as low stress as possible, on budget, and on time.

Not only did he build good report with my family, but he is obviously well liked and respected by his subcontractors and our city inspector (I can’t even fathom how much this helped our project to go smoothly!). We even received positive feedback from our neighbors regarding how his crew kept our lot clean and tidy, and about how they did not hear loud or crass talk coming from the site.

We have now spent 6 months living in our remodel/addition and we couldn’t be happier – and Chris has continued to be available and quick to respond to any questions or issues that arise.

I couldn’t be more enthusiastic in my recommendation.

Riggins Construction did an outstanding job on a bathroom remodel project for us. Chris Riggins was professional, paid attention to detail, and possesses excellent workmanship. He was able to complete the remodel on schedule and delivered on his promise - a beautiful new bathroom in our home. I highly recommend him for any General Contracting needs you may have.

My mom is a resident in Huntington Beach, CA and owns a home that my father and her owned for over 48 years. It was in need of a significant remodel. Since my Dad's passing, my wife and I helped my mom interview and screen several contractors. We went through many but when we met Chris Riggins, along with checking out his references, he was definitely the one we picked out of a dozen plus that we met.

Are we glad we went with Chris. He had superior craftsman, not day laborers work on the entire overhaul of the house. This home was built in the 1950s, but on the inside looks like it is a 2018 custom build. Chris and his team were honest, hard working, extremely responsive to a few change requests and went above and beyond to exceed my mom's expectations.

The woodwork, the flooring, ceiling, dry wall, custom shelving and removal of old walls, created an entirely different space. It is nice to see there are still people that treat their craft like an art and is if they are working on their own home. My mom came to live with my family during the construction, and I should say that Chris and his foreman met with us regularly on progress, offered insightful and creative suggestions to enhance the final outcome and delivered the finished product on schedule.

Chris was a few dollars more than the other contractors, but the old adage is true, "you get what you pay for." Chris Riggins and his team exceeded our expectations. He had specialists for every phase of the project and they have been with him for years. This inspired confidence because we knew that close knit, highly skilled and engaged professionals were working on my mom's house... and it showed.

Thanks Chris! When I remodel my house in Orange County, after what you delivered for my mom, I will definitely be giving you a call...

Chris and his crew were efficient, dependable, trust-worthy and did a wonderful job on our whole house remodel. Highly recommend! Have a few smaller projects coming up and will be using Chris Riggins Construction again!

Chris from Chris Riggins Construction Inc was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process of my full remodel. Chris provided exceptional work also offering great ideas that complimented the look I was trying to capture. He paid excellent attention to the detail in the finish work. From new wood floor installation,crown molding, base boards, 2 bathroom remodels, and kitchen cabinetry; Chris truly transformed my house. I highly recommend Chris Riggins to anyone looking to remodel their home and wanting someone dependable and trustworthy.

Chris Riggins Construction just completed our master bath remodel and we are very pleased with the outcome and the process. Chris’ hallmark is reliability, and that was evident from the get-go when he showed up early for his appointment to scope the project. His bid followed shortly thereafter. The project started on schedule with work being done every day. Chris was on-site every morning to orient the “crew of the day.” He personally performed carpentry work which was remarkably precise. The door he installed from scratch is the best fitting one in my whole house! His subs were also highly skilled, professional, and showed up on schedule. Chris was very good with maintaining a line of communication so that we knew what was going to be done and when. His work quality was known and appreciated by our local building inspector which never hurts. The project was finished on-schedule and on-budget. Suffice it to say, we would highly recommend Chris Riggins Construction.

We selected Chris Riggins Constructions for our house renovation. We were immediately impressed by the professionalism from Chris and all of his team. Every detail was observed, ideas were shared as a team, and the quality of the work could not have been better.

We were updated via web images while we were away from the construction for two months. It was great having people working in our house that we could trust to do a great job. Schedules were shared with us and we had no problem getting approvals by the city.

In essence, we felt that Chris and his team were working to create a home for us and not just working on a project. They always took a homeowners perspective at every stage.

We would certainly use Riggins again and would highly recommend them to others looking for top notch constructions and customer service.

We used Chris Riggins Construction to remodel/update several areas of our home. From the front door "refresh" to the kitchen remodel, every aspect of the project (no matter how small or large) was handled with the utmost care and close attention to detail. We really felt that Chris and Beau cared about the project as if they were working on their own homes. In fact, they went above and beyond to learn our tastes and preferences so that they could use their years of experience to help create a space that far exceeded our expectations.. and we are picky! Every member of the Chris Riggins team is a perfectionist and an absolute pleasure to work with. They are truly the best!

Chris and his team just remodeled 3 bathrooms for us. Always on time, always high quality work, exceeded all expectations. A GC is only as good as the subcontractors and they were all highly skilled and reliable. Plus Chris referred us to excellent interior designers who helped with color and material decisions. Based on our experience you can’t go wrong with Chris Riggins.

They are amazing!! Definitely would recommended them!

He is a top notch builder in OC. I always try to see his latest build and dream.... I enjoy seeing some of the best quality in the business.

Always enjoy collaborating with Tom and the Nicholson team. Nicholson Companies brings quality and craftsmanship to their Corona del Mar homes.

Contacted builder by email and phone a few times. Left messages with no returned calls. this builder is constructing a home near my residence and it’s nearly impossible to get a response from them.
I wouldn’t recommend using them if you want a stress free life.

Love your designs! So unique and pro. I run MesonArt — would be thrilled to collaborate!

I’ve had the privilege of working with Tom Nicholson for the past 9 years. Great professional team, beautiful luxury homes and high quality workmanship. Everyone in the office is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a luxury home. Thank you Nicholson Companies for a great partnership!

Just a great home builder to work with - I so enjoy the creative process. Watching clients come in with all their needs and desires in their dream home and enjoying the build process as it evolves. Tom Nicholson is a master at solving problems or design needs very creatively. His team is incredible from the designers to all support staff, including a Client Concierge. Their homes stand the test of time and are beautifully built. Can't say enough how much I enjoy working with Tom and his stellar Team!

James is very knowledgeable, honest and does quality work.
I have finally found a contractor who does it right the first time.
