Conquest General Building Contractors, inc.

Customer experiences with Conquest GBC and Jim Korkunis are mixed. A single account alleges serious misconduct, including incomplete work (less than 25% of a contracted scope), aggressive payment demands, threats of a lien, substantial property damage, and non-code-compliant repairs. The same account claims to have incurred further legal costs and has filed with the California State Contractor Licensing Board and an attorney for construction defects, with intent to pursue litigation. The narrative describes duress to extract additional funds and ongoing disputes over the work's quality and completion.

In contrast, multiple other reviews describe positive experiences across a range of projects. Customers report thorough remodeling work (kitchens, pools and pool decks, siding and stucco replacement, driveways and retaining walls), with examples of responsive communication, hands-on involvement by Jim and foreman Marco, timely and cooperative collaboration, and high-quality results. Some projects are noted as completed ahead of schedule, with praise for workmanship, professionalism, and the team’s helpful, personable approach. Several reviews highlight lasting satisfaction, mentioning 3 years without issues or ongoing benefits such as improved aesthetics and increased home value.

Overall, potential customers should perform due diligence due to the existence of conflicting accounts. Practical steps to consider include verifying current licensing status, requesting detailed written bids and change-order procedures, checking references and past project photos, confirming permits and code compliance, and discussing warranties and lien protections before work begins.
