Claims to have closed his business. His contractors did an great job on my kitchen remodel in 2020 so we hired him to replace 2 decks on our house. He took the 2/3 down payment, tore down the decks to the frame. Stated the materials didn't come in until November '21 and that we'd be first on the schedule in March '22. He never acquired the materials as his account was past due. It took us 2 1/2 months of emails before he finally admitted he couldn't do the job due to his financial situation and that he closed his business. We were left having to hire another company to replace the decks and we were out thousands of dollars. Filed suit against him and he never appeared in court. Received default judgement. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! read more

I purchased a large amount of boulders for a retaining wall project from Josh Steinhoff of JGS Construction. Half of the boulders were delivered; with the promise of the last batch to come soon after. I paid in full, trusting Josh as an honest business man. Several months have passed. He has since ignored all calls, texts, and emails. The lack of communication, and the disregard for our agreement is beyond upsetting. I would not trust Josh or his business. He and his company have proven themselves to be dishonest, untrustworthy, and unprofessional. I would not recommend them in any capacity. read more

I hired JGS late May 2021 to tear down & rebuild a room addition. I met with the owner, Josh which he quoted $32K. This was a fair price so i signed a contract and gave him $15K to get started. A week went by in which the owner e-mailed me and stated that all the supplies needed were ordered. Several weeks went by in which i called and asked what was going on. Josh stated that he was waiting on the engineer was was backed up. I waited again a few weeks, and the same excuse. This went back and forth for months up until November 2021 when we finally got approval to start. Room was torn down, and the frame work started. Paid an additional $10K based on agreed contract. Work came to a halt because of so called needed supplies which Josh stated earlier that he ordered everything in early May 2021. Met with Josh the owner on March 5, 2022 to discuss plans on what we need to do to finish. Josh stated that he owes monies to the employees and asked for help to pay them so they can finish. I agreed, and gave him a check for $8K. Josh stated that the work will start back up on Monday, March 7th, 2022 which did not happen. I e-mailed Josh who stated that he will get back with me. On Wednesday March 8, 2022, i received an e-mail from Josh the owner that he was closing the doors. Nice to know this after he cashed the $8K check. He is still in business, and refuses to return my $8K. I had to hire other contractors to finish the project at over $11,000. I found out that Josh the owner purchased a restaurant in early 2020 which he was taking the monies received for projects and putting it into the restaurant which failed anyway. Much more to the story, but this is the main scenario. He will probably tell you i screwed him or i am a disgruntled employee same as he told me about his poor reviews. Don't be a fool like me. Reviews do have truth to them. Stay far away from this company. Pictures below is how he left the room addition after taking $33K of my money. read more

Below is a picture of the work done by Josh, this is not the way you pour concrete, he used my old pavers to save money on fill, Please do not have JGS do any work for you, I do not want anyone to have to deal with such a terrible company. The worst experience I have ever had with any construction company. Back in August I had Josh (Owner) come and take a look at my front patio which I wanted to extend out farther. He asked me a deposit of $700 to begin the project. I gave the money to Josh the next day and they began the job (you can see what they did below). They kept coming and going for the next couple of days then suddenly stopped showing up. I gave numerous texts and calls but they kept holding off. They would set up a time but never show up. This went on from the end of August until the end of September. I figured out these guys are just playing with me and are never going to actually do the job. When I demanded my money back, Josh said that he will not pay me back. Then I told him I will report him in the police, to which he said do what you feel is right. I then, did exactly what I said, and reported him to the police. After the report had been filed, he sent me a text saying he will return my money back on Monday October 1st, and I will need to write a good review. I agreed to his terms but he still has not given any money back and is not returning my calls or texts. I will be pursuing further action in small claims court. read more

I would not want anyone to go through what I did with JGS. Misgivings kept piling up. I lost thousands because of wrongful guidance by Josh, and in the end, he still was demanding money, and I have nothing to show for it. read more

Terrible experience with Josh and his company. Hired to install tile in my kitchen. Tile was uneven, grout lines uneven, pinholes in grout, ho/low grout areas, chipped tiles, gaps between transition strips. Horror story. When I tried to reach a resolution with Josh, he kept going back on his word and eventually just stopped responding. Steer clear of this company read more

Unfortunate you cannot give JG a no star. If you hire them, double your estimate to include the contractor who will fix their mess. Any problem you've had, especially water damage, be prepared to find your house in worse shape than what it was when you hired JG. Had minor water damage to wall and floor from leaky sink cold water feed. JG's "experts" removed the entire floor and wall, put nothing back. To make matters worse left a mess all through my house and on my back deck. Had to hire someone to rip it out again to repair and someone to clean up the deck and surrounding yard. DO NOT USE JG UNLESS YOU WANT TO HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX IT. read more

Worst experience of trying to get anything done. A total scam. I should have done more research and that's shame on me. Had I known about these, I would stay far away from Josh and his company. The same things everyone is describing were happening to me. read more
