Replacement 830 sq ft driveway for $9400 J. A. Holland construction gave me a new amazing, perfect, flawless driveway of 830sqft for $9400. This included a drainage system under the driveway from gutter downspouts detouring water away from the driveway, a light grey tint added to the concrete, demo removing the old driveway, correcting a slope, inspections, the concrete and a finish with a brushed texture. Reasons why I chose this company out of 6 bidders: 1. By checking CCB license through Oregon Construction Contractors Board using google. Thomas Holland, owner, has had the same license, unblemished, for over 10 years. Some of the others had their license for less than a year or had consumer complaints, problems attached to their license. 2. Thomas has an eye for potential problems and was the only one to suggest a drainage system under the driveway to collect water from the gutter of this old home. 3. Thomas does the work along with his crew, very important to me as I have had bad experiences with the contractor who has multiple jobs, sends a crew unsupervised. Example: One plumber decided he was not going to do a section of plumbing, signed off the job and had I not been there reporting him, that section of plumbing I paid for would have not been done. 4. I found over 10 great 'real' reviews on J.A. Holland Construction. could find no reviews or very little on the other bidders. 5. First impression of Thomas is an all around 'good' guy, straight forward, no phony sales pitch. 6. The price. Thomas came in low, tied exactly with another low bid, and this great price with the under driveway drainage system. The job: Demo: Took only 2 days and what a performance as neighbors also watched in awe, the street lined with heavy machinery in order of use and so organized as as the old concrete was lifted, put in the vehicle to be disposed of, gravel was put in place. Thomas is a master of heavy vehicle machinery, used a generous amount of gravel and had the job cleaned up by 5pm both days. 2. Forms installed, passed inspection. 3. The concrete pour was just as smooth and also passed inspection without incident. On one walkway I had done by another company, very little gravel was used and I noticed later a slight yellowish tan stain had appeared, found none of this with the work from Thomas, and believe it is because of the generous layer of gravel. In fact, I can not find one irregularity in the concrete.

J.A Holland Construction did a great job start to finish! Thomas gave me a bid that below his competitors and still came through with a quality job I'm very proud of! He took out our old concrete slab that was completely shot, as we prepared for our new idea for our backyard. We added a lot along the way and Thomas made it as painless as possible. Even though we were halfway through the job, when I decided to make these upgrades, J.A. Holland still gave me a very competitive price, knowing that I was at his Mercy. He got the new equipment that was necessary for my big new plans, without a fuss and got right to work. We ended up doing a whole driveway, back patio and a sidewalk along the side and it looked so good we decided to have them do a retaining wall as well. Our experience with J.A. Holland from beginning to end was a great one and I would recommend them to anyone who needs any kind of construction done! The staff that he brought along with him was polite, courteous and respectful. They are truly professionals at J.A. Holland construction

We hired J.A Holland in December of 2023 to design and install a wheelchair ramp. This was not a straightforward wheelchair ramp. It required lots of planning to meet code and the slope he was working with was less than ideal. Thomas showed up, talked with us about our needs, discussed the options available to us and how he was going to construct everything to ensure it met code and met our needs. He was communicative during the entire process. Thomas and his team were punctual, professional and left the area clean once the job was completed. The craftsman ship of this ramp is absolutely beautiful. It was a big job for a small space and they did an AMAZING job. The ramp included raising our front porch, 3 switchbacks and drains installed on each landing pad plus more. We will definitely be using J.A. Holland construction in the future for our concrete needs! Thank you J.A. Holland for beautiful and timely work! Erin & Jason Simpson

Thomas didn’t a outstanding job for my wife and I. He when above and beyond what I expected. When we started the job we were just going to have a garage pad poured as time went on we added a patio as well. Even tho we had added to the job and he had to remove much more dirt he was very easy to work with at no time did he seem to be upset with anything we had ask of him. He handled everything we ask for in a very professional manner. It seem like his favorite response was no problem we can do that. I feel that his price was better than I expected and the work was outstanding. He showed up when he said he was going to which is rare for most contractors I would recommend him to anyone who needs concrete work done.

Thomas from JA Holland has been absolutely incredible through a new construction home that we are building. He is always responsive, and he explains things very well in a manner that I’m able to understand for someone who has never done this before. He has done more than expected, and his attention to detail and forward thinking issues that may/may not arise has saved me money and time. He prioritizes his customers and treats them with respect, and is flexible and accommodating when unexpected issues come up. I would highly recommend this company to anyone, and will without a doubt use this company for future projects. If I could give 10 out of 5 stars, I would.
