“James handled everything from the planning permits to the final clean — and did it all in English. Quote was accurate to the euro and the team finished a week early. We've already recommended him to two neighbours.”

“After a horror story with a previous builder we were nervous, but Costa Reforms were transparent on price, on time, and the workmanship is genuinely excellent. The escrow option through BuildSpain gave us total peace of mind.”

“Six weeks from breaking ground to first swim. James warned us early about a drainage issue that other quotes had missed — saved us thousands down the line.”
