Before I even get into the experience, I want to start by saying I would highly recommend JMK…read morecontracting.Our house was built in the 1800s and as a result we need to do a lot of work and have used many different contractors in the past. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a contractor. First, when I called for an estimate John actually called back. As I'm sure many of you know you make calls looking to get an estimate for work and you don't even receive the courtesy of a call back. That's not the case with John. After we receive the estimate we decided we wanted to go with JMK after reading the fantastic reviews. However, we did not have the funds and did not want to pay an additional charge to put the deposit on my credit card. When I reached out to John and explained the situation he put me on the schedule in good faith until I sent in the deposit. The work started on the day we were told it would start and ended on the day we were told it would end. Partway through the work I realized that John and I may have had a communication error with what I wanted and what he thought I wanted and when we discussed it he immediately corrected and promptly addressed my concerns. In all this was the best experience I've had with a contractor.

The price was very fair (I expected to pay closer to $7k, but it was below $4k) and they were in and out with no issues to the rest of my yard in less than a day. I HIGHLY recommend Kenmore Home Improvement. They are worth the wait if you want quality and value.

I have a bathroom in the basement whereas he would need to take out a section of flooring approximately 1' x 4'. Advised he does not like"tearing apart basements" and that he would not be a good fit. If you are in basement waterproofing, and you don't like tearing apart basements or doing the work, you are in the wrong business. Was very dismissive on my questions, briefly described two solutions that "may work" but did not express confidence that he could resolve my issue. Walked out shaking his head without even providing me a business card or contact information. I've had three other contractors out over the past two days each of which were very informative, respectful and took the time to actually sit down with me, explain options, provide detailed account of what was being proposed and an actual estimate. This was a waste of time, would not recommend this company at all. If they are this unprofessional and uninterested before the job even starts, I cannot imagine their level of craftsmanship and professionalism would improve if contracted.

My experience hasn't been the best…read more The first issue is a roof leak that started 2 months ago. Amherst didn't offer a temp solution and it took them two months to replace. Part of the delay was definitely weather (thankfully the leak was minor), but there was poor communication through that process requiring multiple follow ups on my end so I could have an understanding of progress. The initial estimated time had been 3 weeks (seemed optimistic to me). Two months is obviously a bit of a difference and more than I was expecting, even with weather. Holidays probably came into play, but no communication. Promised communications didn't happen, consistently. I have sympathy due to the weather but the lack of a communication/follow up on promises is a negative mark. Estimate: onsite estimate service was friendly, helpful, and solution oriented. This won me over vs other companies that were "do the minimum" and some just knocked and then left without talking with one that even failed to send an estimate. Pricing was similar to the competitors that responded and sent me a quote. Amherst was only a couple hundred higher. I was willing to pay slightly more based on the positive estimate experience and reviews, but I question the wisdom of that now. Onsite: One of the workers peed on the snow in my back yard. I don't know why they didn't ask for the bathroom, but dude... gross. Don't worry, I didn't photograph. I know people gotta go, been there, but I have a bathroom. Also, my garage door was slightly opened about 6"(currently it's busted because a cable jumped the spool and so it requires work to open and gets stuck unless you work it). It's been closed for days waiting for a warmer/dryer period for me to spend a couple of hours attempting to fix. This makes me suspect the worker who peed in my yard also attempted to access my garage, but my camera didn't capture it so I'm uncertain. Not sure why else it'd be open on the day they did work. It was closed before. Thankfully opening all the way would have made a huge screeching racket, so while I haven't checked I suspect nothing was stolen. They needed a spot for a large dumpster placed in my driveway and cars to be removed. Just heads up that they'll want a dumpster as close to the roof as possible. Colors were slightly different from initial conversations (trim was supposed to be black (based on remembered verbal conversation) but were white. Roof tiles were green and the fact they were a very different green wasn't brought up until installation day. I appreciated it being pointed out but I was a little annoyed it wasn't mentioned on the front end. Cleanup: I didn't understand why reviewers posted about the "good cleanup" jobs of contractors. Oh boy do I understand now. We found 16 nails in our drive way in just five minutes of looking in a 10'x10' space. (Checking this morning: Our deck has nails and in our neighbors driveway I found 4 nails.) Thankfully we still had daylight to check our driveway before parking our cars as I'm pretty sure we'd have lost at least one tire. I'm extremely unhappy about this as magnets exist and can be used to sweep for nails or metal detectors can be used. Those methods would both be cheaper than me replacing my tires and I'd absolutely be looking for reimbursement. Also nails on my wife's office front steps that she didn't notice last night but were twisted and could have caused harm. Her reaction is significantly less calm than my post might indicate as she STRONGLY vented her feelings about it. Thanks Amherst. I had been two stars, but that dropped it to one. Photos: I was promised photos of work done, but they haven't been sent as of this review. The job itself? Ask me in ten to 30 years I guess. I mean, a roof lasting is sort of the bare minimum of expectations. What sucks is that this had seemed the BEST of the contractors I received quotes from and based on Reddit reviews. I've only had a couple positive experiences with Buffalo contractors and I'm not sure if this is a sign of the times or specific to Buffalo. Before COVID when I lived in other states/cities my experiences were significantly better with contractors. Now it feels like there's a bare minimum level of care to do a job well. Paying a little more doesn't seem to have gotten me a little more. Will I use again? Right now that feels unlikely but the other vendors seemed like they would be equally bad so I'd probably check Reddit/yelp for the most recent reviews as things change. At least, in theory, I have a lifetime warranty.
