Josh remodeled my master bathroom starting in July and finished in Sept. I interviewed 6 different contractors and ended up with Josh because he had a very competitive price and seemed laid back and easy to work with. The work was performed by his old tile guy Ricky and Ricky did an amazing job. Ricky and Josh no longer work together. The job took much longer than originally quoted but that was not on Josh, that was on Ricky and that is part of the reason they don't work together anymore. Josh would check on the work site regularly and make sure I was happy and checked to see if I had any concerns. My only complaints were that Ricky knocked a small hole in the wall and Josh did a poor job patching it and that there was supposed to be a dust control system and that was never set up and dust got EVERYWHERE. Other than that I enjoyed the experience.

Austin, I'm warning you....do not HIRE....I have to take Joshua Pams to court. He does not know what he is doing. I have to hire someone to fix all his mistakes, with the short list of items he completed. I don't know where you can post pictures, but I will gladly post. This construction company has been my worst construction nightmare. My cabinets that he painted....are chipping after a couple of days (and our kitchen isn't even being used as it's under construction). They look terrible when you feel and look close. He did not sand the lacquer off of my solid wood doors and the paint is not adhering to my once smooth cabinets, they now feel like sand paper! In fact, the sanding technique was not used at all. I have had several professional paint contractors that explained what was done wrong, but Joshua believes in his chipping cabinets, and says he can touch that up in minutes. Honestly, it's only going to get worse. I now have to buy new doors as it would cost me more to fix and strip the work he has done. When needing to modify a cabinet his idea was to take one of my existing cabinets, cut in half, and put back together to resize. That is his cabinetry skills/ideas? He asked me if I understood, and I did. In horror, I couldn't believe this was the solution from a guy who came to my house to profess to be an expert meticulous cabinet maker and could match my cabinets perfectly to get my business.He has only done less than 50% of the demo, and left 1/2 that demo trash in my garage. My husband and I had to finish the demo. He never put the hardware on the cabinets. He had some sub contractor paint my cabinets and wanted his 3rd payment. That was almost three weeks ago. I had to contact him after a couple of weeks and to ask him when he was going to come back and finish the rest of the job. He left with holes in my house, no handles on my cabinets, and list of things to finish before countertops were going to be installed. He came by later that week, and covered some of the holes in the wall, left and said he'd be back. He never returned and after a long text to him on that Sunday with my frustrations, he called me immediately to terminate our relationship, it just wasn't working out, and told me he would give me any monies owed. I told him to work on that short list of items he completed with pricing. That was extremely agreeable with me, as I didn't want him to ruin anything else in my house. He comes to my house with no list, but a lawyer, who introduces himself as someone who works with Arcadia Construction. This lawyer tells me I need to let Josh finish the work thats in the contract before I can complain about his work. One day I hope I will I find that funny as it's taken a month to demo or half demo, move a couple of cabinets, and paint/ruin them. I have also given Joshua a chance to defend himself and tell me if my list of work that he's done and the problems with them are not valid. Crickets. This is just a short list of my problems with Arcadia Construction, this guy has lied, apologized, overpromised and under delivered. I read a review that said (I read after I hired him) if you hire him be prepared to get a lawyer.....yep. Yes, I'm livid, and understandably so if you saw the work in my kitchen, the heart of my home. I paid Joshua over $10K and got nothing but problems. So, I am going to take the time to warn others, I don't want anyone to go through what I'm going through. I have pictures, witnesses and documentation of my experience. He is a affable guy, fun to probably have a beer with, but I strongly warn against hiring him.

Josh and his team were excellent. We needed roof/attic/ceiling & dry wall/paint work after the big winter storm. From beginning to end everyone was friendly, professional, showed up when they said they would, worked quickly, cleaned up and always went over what was completed each day with me. Josh was responsive to texts and calls and always made sure things were running smoothly. It was nice to have only one point of contact for all of these pieces of our home repair rather than having to hire multiple companies. Highly recommend!Services: Paint indoors, Painting, Waterproofing, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Drywall repair

Josh was a dream to work with. He was extremely thorough from the bid process all the way through the job. His team worked quickly and neatly, working long hours to get our job done within our tight deadline. He was easy to communicate with and was always very responsive. His attention to detail was second to none. He runs an excellent business and I would be thrilled to work with him again.

Josh and his team were incredible! We interviewed 6 contractors before deciding to go with Arcardia. Right away, Josh's manner and his intelligence stood out to my husband and me, but what really swayed us is his ability to communicate all aspects of the project in a clear and defined way. I felt like he was a teacher, we were his pupils, his timeline was our syllabus, and Josh's every milestone was an assignment that his team earned an A+ on!Highly recommend Josh and his team. They're truly incredible.

We had Josh and his team do some work for us at my business Jet’s Pizza. We needed to do some remodeling in the back of our store to accommodate our growth. Josh and his team did a fantastic job getting this done for us in a professional and timely manner. It has really helped our business run more efficiently. I would highly recommend Josh and Arcadia Construction.

Josh did a great job on our kitchen remodel. He went out of his way to make sure things were accomplished, even stepping in to do some of the work himself when the person scheduled to come had a last minute conflict and couldn't make it. Josh went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Thank you, Josh!

We hired Josh to do work on our small boutique hotel in Austin and I have never been happier with work done on our place. He is very detail oriented and professional. He was always quick to respond when I had a question too. Thanks again for everything.

I contracted Arcadia to assist with a small renovation with a veterinary hospital client of mine. He was efficient and completed the job in a reasonable timeframe. The exam tables and lighting turned out great and the clinic looks refreshed. I would and have recommended Arcadia since. Great work!
