We used Jeff for a long overdue kitchen remodel. Not the biggest kitchen but with termite damage repair, a wall coming out and dealing with some of the consequences of the previous owner's do-it-yourself work it wasn't a small job either. From day one we were impressed.
He handled everything with permits and inspections without any headaches required on our end, his crews had multiple jobs going on but he was on site personally every day there was any significant work going on making sure everything was right and staying on schedule and getting in next to his crews and getting hands on himself. Everyone he sent over was professional and polite.
We were kept consistently updated on any new developments (termite damage was more extensive than we thought once one of the walls opened up) and consulted on how to proceed if anything needed to be adjusted. He made sure we knew what aspects of the job needed to be scheduled in advance with other parties (counter top suppliers, etc...) to avoid delays. He would drop by on a moments notice if we had any questions and concerns and he wasn't already on site.
Almost every day Jeff was there once his crews finished making sure everything was cleaned up and in order, the only delays in the job were due to some other subcontractors we had to work with because we were getting Ikea cabinets (which Jeff foresaw and warned us was likely in advance). A clear accounting of expenses was maintained, all work was done precisely and with attention to detail, and everything is looking great. We'll probably have some other major project to tackle at some point in the future and he'll be getting another call when we do.

I hired Jeff Gomes, owner of Bodhi Tree Construction as contractor to renovate my kitchen after hearing about his great work from a friend.
Jeff proved to me that going with his company was the right choice, here's why:
Professionalism
-Jeff's process always keeps the customer in mind, he respects your privacy and is considerate of your home while the job is in progress.
-Jeff will thoroughly discuss the job with you and draw up plans with client input and offer helpful suggestions when needed.
-He keeps to his word and is the most reliable contractor that I have worked with.
Time
- Jeff committed to an aggressive timeline and stuck to it and made it happen.
Work ethic
- There is no question that Jeff is the hardest working contractor in the business, he takes pride in getting the job done right and will be there on time every time.
Price
- Bodhi Tree Construction's rates are very affordable but the real value is in the final results.
The New Kitchen
We are now settled in to our newly remodeled kitchen and are extremely happy with the results. Jeff and Bodhi Tree Construction was definitely the right choice and I would without a doubt use him again and refer his work to others.

Our long anticipated kitchen remodel.... Finished. The Bodhi Tree Construction team got it done and we love it. We chose Bodhi Tree Construction for several reasons. We liked the personable and positive approach of owner and general contractor Jeff Gomes. His enthusiasm and can-do attitude impressed us. He asked good questions, ones we hadn't thought of, and ones that appeared to show attention to planning and detail. He listened to our questions and responsed in a helpful, honest manner. We liked the pictures of his previous work on the Yelp! page. Although Jeff's was not the least expensive estimate from the bids we received, it fit our budget.
The construction process---demolition, plumbing and electrical lay-out, drywall installation with mudding, texturing, and painting, pre-ordered cabinet and granite countertop installations, floor and wall ceramic tiling, and new appliance hook-up---all went relatively smoothly. The biggest construction challenge appeared to be the existing out-of-squareness and imperfect levelness of the walls, floor, and ceilings in our 40-year-old residence. This is where Jeff's commitment to quality work resulted in a new kitchen we are really satisfied with. Jeff didn't "cut corners"; he took the extra steps to address creatively and competently the less-than-ideal conditions.
Finally, I will mention a quality which my wife and I totally appreciated: Jeff's habit of keeping us apprised of the job, its schedule, its problems, and its progress throughout the process. He kept us as involved as we wanted to be. A kitchen remodel is a major home improvement project. The job is complex with materials selection, ordering, permitting, scheduling, task coordination, quality assurance and final review. Jeff and his Bodhi Tree Construction team handled it all with a high degree of competence and professional etiquette.

I have a fabulous kitchen thanks to Jeff who is a very personable guy. He listens to you, have a great artistic sense and is very accommodating.
In the middle of our construction, we discovered that the stairs on our deck had dry rot and needed to be replaced...yes, Jeff came to our rescue and did the job in a day.
Jeff prides himself in doing excellent work, strives for it and DELIVERS. He is honest, knowledgeable and is reasonable in his price. I will never use another contractor...Jeff is our man

The owner of this company, Jeff, did an amazing job with my kitchen. He took it from ghetto to modern in a short about of time. I still am in awe when I walk into my kitchen. It looks like something out of HGTV, seriously.
Jeff worked with me from start to finish to create exactly what I wanted. I changed my plan many times and he accommodated my every wish. He helped me coordinate my complete kitchen. He is very skilled, with excellent customer service and a strong work ethic. Jeff was always on time and left the site neat and clean. He really cared about how I would like my finished product. He wanted me to "love" my kitchen, and I do.
He moved gas lines, tore out walls, redid the floor, tiled the floor with radiant heat underneath, installed USB outlets, did amazing lighting and more. He did all aspects from top to finish at the best price, actually less than I could find anywhere else, much less.
So if you don't want to get ripped off, and want someone who truly cares about their work and will make sure you "love" your project when it's done then you should call Jeff as soon as possible. Our whole house feels new with my fantastic kitchen. Everyone who sees it can't believe it is the same space.
A truly WOW before and after!

I am very satisfied with the work that Jeff did for me concerning my rental property. He remodeled a severely water damaged bathroom. I was so confident in his work ethic and long time experience, that I didn't need to go to the property while the work was being done! This was very important to me because the job was 75 miles from my home. I never felt the normal stress of a construction project.
Jeff kept me posted on a daily basis, sending me photos of the early demolition process to the progress along the way. He hand picked everything that was used in the bathroom and sent me photos for approval.
I highly recommend him to anyone that is in the market for a contractor. He arrives on time, gets the scheduled work completed as promised, on time and on budget. His prices are fair and I would use him again.
