We hired Navid to replace the carpet in our living room with LVP flooring. I received several…read morequotes, most from flooring companies, but Navid was the only general contractor. His pricing was significantly lower, and he also offered to handle additional work such as upgrading our fireplace and adding kitchen lighting, which made the proposal appealing. I'll start by saying this, if your main goal is to get a job completed quickly and cost-effectively, and you're not overly concerned with fine details or specialty level craftsmanship, Navid may be a reasonable option. The flooring was installed and the fireplace was upgraded. We ultimately decided not to proceed with the lighting after seeing the quality of work, though he was willing to do it. For us, there were two main issues. First, flooring quality and attention to detail. The cuts around complex areas, particularly where the flooring meets the stairs, were uneven and covered with molding rather than being cut cleanly to match the angles. Flooring specialists typically handle these transitions more precisely, you can see every picture posted by flooring company, no molding is used where LVP meets the stairs. Additionally, the installation process lacked care for the finished surfaces. There was no floor protection used, and Navid + his helper walked across the new planks in regular shoes. As a result, we noticed scratches and small chips very early on. The subfloor was also not leveled, which led to minor bounce in several areas over time. Where the flooring meets tile in other rooms, there is a visible slope and noticeable sinking when stepped on. These issues became more apparent after the project was completed, and while they may not bother everyone, they were significant for us. I've added some photos to show this. Second, a professionalism issue during the job. One area with a noticeable dip was partially leveled (per my request) during installation. However, leftover concrete was poured onto our property and into the sidewalk without our consent. This led to a heated disagreement, including an inappropriate threat of placing a lien on our home. The explanation given was that this was done to "help" by stabilizing loose rocks, but the situation and how it was handled were very disappointing. We settled the matter at the end but it was very disappointing for this to happen.

It's never easy with any remodling with so many moving parts but I was happy with the communication, how we didn't have to front all the cash and Steve (think that was his name lol) was honest and fair as the business owner.

Alec and his team performed extensive drywall repairs, new flooring and baseboards for our entire…read morefirst floor and a re-done second story bathroom. The work quality was outstanding. As with any big job, there were a few corrections at the end (not many!). What is important and appreciated is that they addressed these immediately and without question. In addition to the high quality work, Alec also made some excellent design recommendations for tile and flooring materials and colors. We ended up going with his choices and the results look outstanding. We couldn't be more pleased. Throughout the process, Alec was always responsive and answered all of our questions thoroughly and honestly. He made what could have been a difficult process very easy. In short, I'd highly recommend Alec and American Renavatu to any homeowner in need of a reliable general contractor.

We hired Alan (also known as Alec, he will go by a different name with different people depending…read moreon what negative comments he has online about him at the moment) for a major project over the past year and paid him more than $450,000 in total. He completed his final project with us yesterday. Per our contract I was supposed to withhold 6k until the project was fully completed and we did a walk through. Against my better judgement I agreed to pay him $4300 of that payment early because he was low on funds. I felt bad for him what can I say. So at that point I still owed him a remaining balance of $1,700 that I fully intended to pay him once he finished the final touches on some trim and other misc. things. After about 4 weeks of no progress on those misc. items, I had to start bugging him every day for updates on when things would be completed. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, he finally completed the last item. As soon as the work was complete Alan/Alec called me 4 times in a row. I was busy at work so didn't have time to answer. I got off work that evening around 7pm and we had some friends over for a baseball game, so I didn't have time to call Alan/Alec back yet. That same evening, Alan showed up at our home unannounced around 8 p.m., demanding payment. He arrived with an angry and confrontational attitude, and when I answered the door, the situation quickly escalated. I was rightfully frustrated that he showed up requesting to get paid in cash right in that moment, I tried to close the door, Alan shoved it back open and attempted to force his way inside. I pushed him back. The confrontation that followed was witnessed by multiple people and captured on our Ring camera (posting the video here so people can see what Alan/Alec looks like in case he changes his name again in the future. He also brought his son with him, which suggests the visit was planned and deliberate (what a sad decision on his part as a father) Throughout the course of our projects, Alan proved to be unreliable and difficult to work with. He frequently made decisions without our approval, even after we clearly asked him to confirm with us before proceeding. He ignored instructions, made careless mistakes, and overlooked details that any attentive professional should have caught. Despite these issues, we continued to pay him on time and treat him respectfully. At one point, due to a mistake made by his own office transferring funds into the wrong account, we had to double pay him ahead of schedule to keep the project moving. A $60,000 payment temporarily became $120,000 because he said he couldn't wait for the transfer to resolve. We also lived next door to the project site, and it quickly became clear that without our daily oversight, the home would have been a complete mess. His team often lacked direction and made careless errors when left unsupervised. Alan can be very friendly when trying to earn your business, but that professionalism disappears once the contract is signed. His behavior at the end of this project was completely unprofessional, inappropriate, and unacceptable. We've always paid him promptly and treated him with respect, so this incident was shocking and deeply disappointing. We strongly caution anyone considering working with him to proceed carefully, get everything in writing, don't deviate at all from the contract even if he tries to make you feel bad for him or play on your empath.

He would send one worker at a time, often a different person every other day, and Jose himself only showed up twice. The quality of the work was awful. I brought it up to Jose over the phone and even to his worker on-site. I pointed out that the grout lines didn't match -- some were thin, others way too thick. Some tiles were lifted up while others were sunk down unevenly. His response was that he "could fix it," but the job was never corrected or completed. I paid him $3,000 (half of the total agreed price), and I was left with a mess of uneven tile and unfinished work. Now he won't return my money and doesn't answer his phone. Jose may seem professional at first, but he does not know what he's doing. I would not recommend JJM Construction to anyone. Save yourself the stress, the money, and the poor quality. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Jose and company did an exceptional job. Our garage is now finished, and storage space has increased. The laundry room was finished using our feedback for design elements. The 2nd project was a small bathroom renovation. The demolition uncovered some surprises, but Jose worked through then always keeping an open line of communication. Major plumbing work was needed, and they took care of it. The finish work was just as great. Their attention to detail is top notch. We could not be any happier with the bathroom remodel. Case in point, we hired JJM to do our kitchen remodel. They are about 90% complete, and we are as happy as we can be. The remodel included a wall removal, tear down of walk in pantry, new recessed lighting, plumbing for new appliance, face-lift on existing cabinets, new counters, mosaic glass backsplash, flooring, semi custom cabinet assembly, and a custom kitchen island. This has been a significant project, while we live here. Everyday they leave the area as clean as possible so that we can continue living in our home. The experience has been great, and we will continue to use JJM for our home improvement projects. They are highly competent, and genuinely take pride in their craftsmanship.
