Our Jay-Phares Team

Oakland, CA Commercial Building Construction & Renovation Company
510-562-9500

John Jay and Hugh (Ken) Phares created Jay-Phares Corporation in 1988 as a development, brokerage, commercial & residential property leasing and property management firm. At the same time, a facilities management group was created to administer maintenance for our managed properties. Our facilities management arm developed into a commercial and residential tenant improvement group. We are experienced commercial and residential renovators. We pride ourselves on the rehabilitation of under valued properties. Our experience and reputation as purveyors of quality workmanship proceed us.
