This was our first major home project and we were overwhelmed with decisions, but every step of the way John and Jeannie were there to give advice and keep us on schedule. Pricing was very fair and all quotes and change orders were prompt and detailed. John oversaw every bit of work done and is extremely detail oriented. Every concern we had he was one step ahead and already dealing with. It's such a relief knowing that someone knowledgeable cares so much to make sure that everything works exactly as it should. We stayed in the house while work was being done and his crew of Bobby, Mikey and Ryan and all the subcontractors were a pleasure to be around every day. They did great work and were always thoughtful about how parts of the job would affect us and our pets. We love our home so much and owe it to everyone at JAY Construction. I just can't say enough good things about them.

During the planning phase, John invests a lot of time working with you to develop the best approach. Listen to his suggestions because he's honestly trying to get you to a quality end product within your budget that you'll be happy with. Once the scope of work is set, he writes a very detailed work proposal and contract that spells out exactly what materials and services he will provide - MUCH better than the average contractor and so important to avoid misunderstandings and disputes. Project pricing is reasonable in today's market. John's crews and specialty subcontractors do excellent work and John visits the job site frequently to ensure that the work is being done correctly and to make sure that you are happy, or to see if you have any questions. If you do have any questions or concerns, John addresses them immediately. In over 40 years of hiring and working with contractors of all kinds, I know the difference between bad, average, good and best. JAY Construction is in the best category and like all "best" companies, that distinction flows directly from the integrity and work ethic of the owner. If you are in Monmouth or Ocean counties NJ, I highly recommend that you include JAY Construction on your bidders list.

I hired Munz Roofing and Siding to complete a siding project, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From the start, their consultant, Stephen M., came out and provided helpful education, a thorough walkthrough, zero pressure, and a timely quote for several different product options. Munz ultimately provided the best quote among the three local companies that came out. Eric G., their general manager, also came out to review the plan and clearly outlined the steps they would take to protect our garden beds during the siding removal and installation. That level of communication and attention to detail gave us a lot of confidence going into the project. Project Manager Chris and installer Oleg then completed the project in 9.5 days, which was even half a day ahead of their original 10-day estimate. Chris checked in every day to see if we had any questions or concerns, and Oleg's work was outstanding. His craftsmanship and attention to detail were top notch, and he spent at least a half hour cleaning up every day before leaving. One thing that really stood out was that Oleg took the time to point out how well the previous siding job had been done when the house was built about 40 years ago. He noted that the original wrapping had been applied with meticulous precision, which helped explain why there was minimal water damage to the existing boards. That honesty was appreciated, especially because there was never a moment where the crew attempted to upsell us on unnecessary work. Overall, Munz was professional, honest, communicative, and highly skilled from start to finish. I could not recommend this company enough. Five stars, and if you can, request Chris and Oleg by name as your crew.

My journey with NJ Pavers & Pools began in 2022 when I decided to replace a dilapidated wooden deck…read morewith a raised paver patio. I wanted the patio surface to align with my door's threshold for better accessibility and aesthetics. After receiving multiple estimates, I was unimpressed--every contractor pushed for a ground-level patio with steps leading down from the door, citing lower costs and less effort. While I understood their reasoning, it wasn't my vision, and their reluctance to execute on what I was describing left me feeling they weren't up to the task. Then, I met Alex from NJ Pavers & Pools. He not only embraced my idea but immediately provided a concept drawing and a competitive estimate. His confidence in bringing my vision to life was what truly won me over and I hired him right there on the spot The crew was remarkable--professional, skilled, happy, and efficient, Project manager Miguel's attention to detail ( really all the guys are meticulous) ensured the job was done flawlessly. By day two, I was so impressed that I expanded the project to include replacing the old garden pavers and adding a firepit. They completed the entire process in just three days, and four summers later, the patio remains flawless and the adjacent garden inviting. Flash forward to 2025 when it came time to tackle phase two --replacing the cracked, unsightly, sinking and crumbling concrete around my pool. I spent months researching different surfacing options, but my heart kept coming back to my previous experience with Alex and his team. The trust factor, along with the desire for a cohesive aesthetic, made the decision to go with pavers and them an easy one. They delivered in spades! They spent two weeks transforming not just the pool area, but also adding a new front porch, a side-door step, and a front walkway. The end result is a stunning, unified oasis that has completely elevated the look of my home. Neighbors, dog-walkers, and guests have all stopped to comment on the beautiful, cohesive, and upscale look. We love the result. NJ Pavers & Pools consistently exceeds expectations. I am a lifelong customer. I couldn't be happier. They didn't just complete a job; they turned my vision into a beautiful, lasting reality, earning my complete trust, loyalty and unwavering loyalty. I 1000% recommend them to anyone and the quality of their work to beyond evident.

We hired Mr. Contractor to completely renovate the kitchen and primary bathroom in our 130-year-old…read morePhiladelphia home, and we're thrilled with how everything turned out. When we were choosing a contractor, Mr. Contractor's Yelp rating gave me some hesitation - especially given the high ratings elsewhere. But when I read the reviews themselves rather than just looking at the overall rating, many of the complaints seemed to involve relatively small jobs. We needed someone for a large, complicated renovation of a very old house, and the experience and capabilities Ken demonstrated seemed much better suited to that kind of project. Having now completed the job, I'm very glad we made that distinction. This was a big project, and our old house threw plenty of surprises at us. Once the demo began, our engineer found that part of the kitchen needed to be structurally rebuilt from the foundation up. That meant coordinating with our architect and structural engineer and substantially expanded the work. Despite that and the many twists and turns that followed, Ken and his crew kept things moving and completed an extraordinary amount of work in just 10 weeks. What really stood out was the crew. These guys were craftsmen who took genuine pride in what they were building. More than once, they spent extra time on something simply to get the finished result just right or recommended enhancements that were not charged. A friend who is a high-end interior designer saw the kitchen afterward and was impressed by the quality of the construction and attention to detail. We also lived in the house throughout the renovation. The crew was friendly and respectful, and they cleaned up the work areas at the end of every day -- something we came to appreciate enormously during 10 weeks of construction. Was every little detail perfect the first time? No. But that's actually part of why I'm comfortable giving Ken five stars. When something wasn't right, he worked to make it right. He and his team stayed engaged through the end of the project, addressed our punch-list items, and have continued to stand behind their work afterward. And we LOVE the result. The kitchen has completely changed the way we live in the house. It has become the place where our family naturally gathers, and it's as comfortable and functional to cook in as it is beautiful. The new bathroom has been equally transformative. At the beginning, I worried that we might be spending too much on the project - and it was significant. But by the end, having seen the amount of work involved and the quality and care that went into it, I felt exactly the opposite: we received very good value for our money. My takeaway is that Ken's particular strength is a substantial, complex project where you need an experienced GC who can keep multiple trades moving, deal with unexpected conditions, solve problems as they arise, and see the whole thing through. Renovating a 130-year-old house isn't easy, and I'd much rather have a contractor who knows how to deal with the inevitable problems and stands behind the finished product. We'd happily hire Ken and Mr. Contractor again.
