We cannot say enough great things about Forrest - this review is looooong overdue. Forrest was…read moreresponsive, set the right expectations and made us the most beautiful kitchen we could have ever dreamed of. I was 6 months pregnant and decided to throw in additional projects and luckily Forrest made the time for us. His work is absolute perfection. We went on a babymoon during the demo phase and everything was handled professionally and he keeps a super clean work site. He has done windows, french doors, built custom benches and updated our bathroom. If you are lucky enough to get on his calendar, you will never regret it!

JBC did a full kitchen remodel for us. We tore down a wall and extended our tiny galley kitchen…read moreinto a rarely used "sitting room." Their work and that of their subcontractors was all high quality. Our foreman Gary was a pleasure to work with. He would not accept any shortcuts and wanted to ensure we were happy with everything. We are loving our new kitchen!

The first thing Tom told me when he came over for the first day of work was: "How did you find…read morethese guys? They can't find new customers and all their existing customers aged out/died". We probably should have ran at this point. We had a quote from Johnson Brothers Construction to rebuild our shower that had a leaking drain. Their quote was very competitive ($10k + tax) and they seemed knowledgable enough, so we went with them, aware that things might go over the quoted amount given that every projects has unknown. We did have some unforeseen things happen, requiring an extra day of labor to strengthen the floor and some weirdness about the existing drain setup that was taken care of by a plumber in an hour. Yet, here we are, two months later with a total bill that is well over twice the quoted amount, a tiling job that is sub-par and a lot of finishing touches are still missing. When you hire a general contractor, you expect them to guarantee some level of quality and to advocate on your behalf with subcontractors. In our case, the tiling subcontractor not only did a horrible job, but also tried to increase the cost for some work we already sign-off on and way over ordered one of the types of tiles (that we had to pay for). In the end the subcontractor fixed as much as they could short of redoing the whole floor, but we were the one fighting for it and inspecting the work. JBC just stood by. JBC also had two subcontractor give us quote for some drywall for a transition strip. Their interfacing between these subcontractors is essentially a series of screenshots of iMessage conversations they have with those subs. I made it clear to the drywall sub that I wanted quotes for the different parts of the job. He gives us one opaque quote with possibly an extra $100 (??). The transition strip sub, what we hear is that he'll come by by the end of next week. Saturday comes and he is no where to be found. JBC gave no updates along the way. I could also talk about their opaque billing practices, how they're charging for labor hours that don't seem to line up with what I can see on my front door camera. Or how they have 3 guys show up for the same amount of time and yet one of them is charging for an extra half hour? Honestly I could go on and on. We definitely regret going with JBC for our job. I should have heeded my gut feeling when Tom said what he did. You definitely should.

We worked with J&M on a bathroom remodel. Bathroom is 5x6 feet and quote was for 6 weeks work and…read more50k. We ended project at 18 weeks and 60k. During our project, the sub-contractors damaged the wall while installing our toilet by drilling through the wall and failing to hook up the toilet correctly so that water was pouring straight into our basement. The sub-contractor did pay for these damages. We had no supply chain issues with our project as we had purchased all the materials ourselves before hand. Our primary issues with working with J&M was that due to the amount of projects they had going on, it felt that unless we were actively saying we were unhappy with progress and calling J&M frequently, there would only be work at our home 1 or 2 days a week. When asking for estimates for components J&M were unable to provide accurate estimates. For example, it was estimated that tiling our shower would take 1 week with 2 people due to the complex design. It ended up taking 3 weeks. This is our only bathroom, so we lived with my parents for several weeks, but I would hesitate to recommend J&M to anyone who doesn't have a flexible timeline. In addition, J&M failed to notify of us of change orders that resulted in an increase of price. These were supposed to be agreed upon mutually before the work was completed, but instead J&M released them after the work was done and were forced to eat the cost. J&M did not provide any options to mitigate this cost even though this was in direct breach of our contract. Ultimately, we are reasonably happy with the final outcome of our bathroom, but extremely unhappy with path to get there. We ended up not asking for several fixes as we were so fed up with the inaccurate timelines and constantly changing estimates. Fixes include 1) bleeding paint on ceiling, 2) missed paint spot, 3) grout on window and tile, 4) miss-cut vanity counter-top, and 5) dip in floor tiling causing one spot to not drain. All in all, J&M has good general contractors, but seem extremely mismanaged in the back of office. If you do work with them, double check all billing multiple times as we found several inaccuracies. Hold J&M to prices and push back on change order process.

We have loved working with Eric!

Eric was incredibly patient with the deluge of questions we had during the planning stages. He has excellent foresight and advice for everything from layout to return on investment. Expectations were clear from the start. He's really easy to work with and talk to. Both of our projects came in within the (very reasonable) quotes he provided. He was punctual and left the worksite clean and safe every day. 100% recommend.

They finished the work on time, being early at crucial milestones, and completed it under budget. Eric, the owner and contractor met with us several times ahead of the remodel to discuss what we wanted. He explained his philosophy and in depth knowledge of his craft. He said that he dedicates his time to one job at a time and kept our budget in mind. He communicated well with us so that we could understand and was patient and very positive. He gave us multiple options for our design with consideration given to functionality and Feng shui. His design capability was excellent and he used his real estate experience to help us in this way. However, he allowed us to make our own choices. We got a schedule of the remodel and a detailed list of the products needed and presumptive prices. We were given the option of buying our own and a credit or debit would be listed in this case. Eric would purchase the material if we didn't, keeping track of our budget. We bought about 60% of the materials. We were made aware of the tariffs put on some of the products, and the sales in the future when we could save on some of the products. We were advised to go slow on the larger purchases like the cabinets. We chose to DIY the flooring and paint. Being novices, Eric was very helpful in advising us in these areas allowing us again to stay in budget and on time. Prior to construction, Eric pointed out some red flags, such as a popcorn ceiling which did have some asbestos, and a leaky water main. He arranged for two other contractors to remove the asbestos and apply drywall. He also replaced our water main turn off valve. Overall, having a contractor who devotes his time to your remodel, punctual, keeps within budget, and tailor to how you live, no matter how large or small the remodel, is an excellent one.
