    Bathroom
    Fabienne R.

    Michael and his team were absolutely phenomenal. We had a very tight timeline and they managed to not only complete everything on time but also with great care and quality. They did our floors, roof, interior and exterior painting, lighting, and completely remodeled our 2 bathrooms. The thing I appreciated the most is that he kept us in the loop on the progress and was a great consultant to us. We are first time home buyers and it was great to be able to get his advice. Highly recommend them and we are already thinking of new projects to work with Michael on! Also shout out to Matt and Jay - best team ever!

    Michael and his team did an amazing job on our bathroom remodel. Not only did he meet our needs, he exceeded our expectations. The reason why I chose Michael and his team to work on our bathroom is because he was honest about his availability and had good ideas for how to improve the bathroom. Once Michael and his team started working on the remodel, we were impressed by his attention to detail. We also encountered some unexpected problems on demolition day, but the team was flexible and able to fix it. Most of all Michael's team was very personable and easy to work with. I didn't feel awkward asking for things to be changed or added. The team had a positive can do attitude. Mostly, before they left each day, they cleaned the floors and surrounding area so it didn't look like a construction site. It looked immaculate. Overall the bathroom remodel took 2.5 weeks. Right on time. Now the bathroom is our favorite room. We highly recommend this team!

    After!

    As an update to my original post, we hired Mike and team a year later to fix the outside of our house and it exceeded our expectations, which were already sky high based on how our interior turned out. Mike and team updated our insulation and siding, painted our house, and installed and painted new doors/shudders and accessories. It came out amazing so now the outside matches the inside! If there was an option to give Mike and team more than 5 stars, we would! We would recommend him for any job no matter how big or small!

    This was before MDR came in! - A small bathroom featuring a bathtub, a window, a sink, and a toilet, with a shower curtain and a patterned rug, labeled 'BEFORE' in red.

    Mike & his team took on the bathroom project in our 80yr old condo. From the very beginning, the whole process was seamless. There were a few issues lurking behind the walls but they were able to correct them & make us feel great that the bathroom was finally done right! Tile work was top notch & the fit and finish was night and day. Every night the team showed up promptly, cleaned upon exiting & made sure to contain the dust and mess to a minimum My wife and I would 100% used MDR again & have already referred neighbors and friends

    Before & After 1

    Mike and his team did an amazing job with my basement renovation. I was worried about working with a contractor as all I've heard is horror stories on how they never show up when they say they will, and jobs take 3 times as long and cost twice as much as they say. Everything pretty much went as planned and Mike communicated everything to me the entire way. I couldn't be happier with how everything came out. They put in new laminate floors, put drywall up over the wood paneling, installed recessed lighting, new baseboards & crown molding and a new 8ft sliding glass door. My shed was actually crushed by a tree the week before they started the job, so they ended up doing the demo and installation of the new shed as well. Now I'm just thinking about what other projects I can have them work on for me next!

    His business card.

    Glad I hired MDR to fix up my bathroom. Was tired on waiting on my lazy landlord to get up and fix it up so I hired Mike and his crew! Needed some tile work done and my vanity replaced along with some other minor things. They were very professional and completed the job as I anticipated and expected. I thought Mike was very fair in his pricing in comparison to other quotes I received. Some contractors did not even seem as interested as the work seemed not worth there time I felt. That is probably why I got such high quotes. But in came Mike and his team to the rescue. He truly stands by "No job too small" or probably too big in that matter. Overall I had great service and I am a satisfied customer. I plan to use him again and refer him in the future! Thank you Mike!!!!

    MDR recently installed new back doors for us and we could t be more happier! They replaced the back door and storm door and added a storm door to the front. They made sure to take their time and were very meticulous on every single detail. They tested everything along the way and cleaned up. The guys also noticed that one of the storm doors had some damage when opening it up, they brought it back to Home Depot for us and replaced it. Michael made sure to stop by and review everything and noticed a small rubber piece on the front was missing and purchased it and sent it directly to the house! He offered to come back to install but it was easy enough to pop right in. Highly recommend! Very nice job, great people!

Jay forgot my AC duct completely, after final payment my wife noticed there was a duct just sitting open in the attic (pics attached). Since I'm now here thanks to Jays business acumen, let me tell you about when they hit my fence with their truck knocking the post down and left without telling me. I had delays because they didn't order the right windows for our bathrooms. I had them install a single door that was meant to be two and keep a straight face as they act confused why I don't want a door that's nearly 4 feet wide? After providing measurements and sending us to his preferred bathroom and tile store. Nothing that was ordered for in our bathroom. Jays solution? Rip the framing off and turn a $400 mirror into a $100 mirror from Home Depot. Same for the sink and backsplash. He also tried to put R13 in my outer wall and when questioned if that was appropriate he offered to "stuff extra in" that's scary from a "pro" Jay also did our siding replacing cedar shake with vinyl cedar shake, they had bid ton remove the old shingles and tyvec before new siding. Instead I get home from work and Jay tells me I get a couple bucks back but doesn't acknowledge he didn't do what he bid to do. While all of these renovations were going on I was also having concrete work done in my backyard and basement. Jay quoted a column for my garages eve that hangs over the driveway. He never did it, wouldn't even answer our emails. Working with Jag will cause nothing but stress and anxiety as they oscillate between ignoring your follow ups or outright lying

The subcontractors are hit or miss, some were fine and did quality work, but others were nonresponsive and behaved unprofessionally, and cut corners if there was no one around to call them on it. All subcontractors were off the list provided by JAG. We had several issues where there was seemingly no coordination between JAG and the subcontractors, because finishings that arrived on site were not the correct fit for the space, or materials arrived that were not what was outlined in the contract. In some instances, we received finishings with quality control issues (ex: doors that were not properly sealed on all outer edges, leading to peeling and moisture damage) that went unnoticed, and they were installed anyway, and we were left to work with the subcontractor ourselves to get it resolved. All of this made the process far more stressful than it needed to be. We also had an incident where workers blew out the battery backup that we used to protect our internet equipment by using it to plug in power tools, rather than plugging them into an appropriate wall socket. When it overloaded, it damaged electronics that were plugged into it, and triggered an alarm on the device that I had to go shut off. At the time, I was in a cast and using crutches but had to climb a set of stairs to go deal with it because the workers did not know what to do and there was no one else supervising. Renovations are stressful enough, I wouldn't recommend adding to your stress by working with JAG.

At first, I was hesitant when I learned he sub-contracts most of the work. For our last house, we hired a contractor that did most of the work himself. We had issues back then with uneven tiles, cabinets not correctly aligned, bad grout work, leaky drains. Steve, on the other hand, brings in all professionals to do most the work. He manged the project and also did all the paperwork regarding permits. He has a portfolio of professional contractors that he brought in. Besides the typical plumber and electricians, there was a tile company, carpenter, sheetrock company, glass company, cabinet and trim company just to name a few. And most if not all of them are from neighboring towns like Westfield, Clark, Elizabeth, Union and Newark which helps with timing and staying on schedule. The work they perform were solid. No more leaky drains or uneven floors like our last house. We will not go back to a one person that does all-type of contractor from now on. It's much better working with specialist in their field. Regarding the kitchen reno, we had a wall removed between the kitchen and dining rooms. All new appliances, cabinets, countertops, new tiled flooring and backsplash, recess lighting, and added a 2nd mini kitchen sink. Also new under cabinet floor heating and a glass panel door leading to our basement that Steve recommended. For the master bath, we expanded the size of the corner shower by reducing the size of an adjoining closet, added new vanity, tiles, exhause fan and glass shower door. Steve is very detail orientated. He cares more about the final product rather than getting the job done quick and cheap. Our kitchen and master bath went from looking like 1970s to present day. We have no regrets with using Juzefyk Brothers construction and would highly recommend them to our friends and family.
