I had Scott provide an estimate for a $100k full kitchen remodel. I worked with my own structural…read moreengineer and architect to acquire a permit for removing a load-bearing wall (as Scott said he couldn't manage that portion of the project: "We don't have time right now to do the drawings for the permit. You will need to get someone else to sort that out."), and once I had the permit, Scott sent over a contract. The contract included a clause stating "all claims and disputes between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration" which I didn't feel comfortable with. I suggested removing that clause, and Scott insisted on it remaining in the contract as written. I accepted and asked Scott if he would like me to sign electronically or on paper. At that point I didn't hear from him for one week despite multiple emails and phone calls. After a week, he emailed me saying the negotiation (despite my accepting the original contract in the end) was a "big red flag from me and I don't think we can do the job for you." Overall I found this interaction to be incredibly unprofessional, especially since we had been in communication for multiple months and intended to start contraction in just a few weeks.

Tom and Adam have helped us with two phases of remodel on our home. Phase 1 was the complete…read morebasement remodel including one bathroom, magical play area, library, movie room, two bedrooms, moving stairs and redoing the entry way. Phase 2: They redid the main floor including three bedrooms, hall way plus storage and two bathrooms. They are very detailed oriented, especially Adam. Every square inch is used. If something isn't done right, they fix it. Example: They installed four floor to ceiling windows in the entry way. After the chandelier was installed, they realized it wasn't centered in one of the windows. They took them all out and reinstalled them. It is now perfect. They have become like family. As a mom of five children, I was especially grateful for the safety precautions they invented to make sure we were all safe while we lived through construction. There are always tense times through remodels. Patience both ways is the key and I'm so so happy with the work they have done for us.

Terrible. Do not use this contractor. Tom is not honest, talk too much, doesn't finish what he…read morestarts, shows up when he likes (instead of when he is supposed to, because you are waiting for him) and he is too too slow. He overcharges and overbills you (even for hours that he didn't work), and he wants his money quickly.... he is fast and early when he needs to collect his money!!! We had a terrible experience with him. He doesn't have any respect of his clients. There is always a delay in his schedule - work to be done today gets always postponed to tomorrow or the next day - it is infuriating. Our kitchen remodel is taking more than 3 months... and it is not finished yet - a nightmare! I am telling you, do not hire him!!!!

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.
