His overall quote was very reasonable and he broke it down very clearly with good explanations. Due to other complications, the project took a different direction and I'm sad that that I won't have the opportunity to work with John on this one. I'm actually really bummed about it. If you want good communication from your GC that will work with you throughout the process, call John of Blue Jay Construction.
Description of Work
John of Blue Jay Construction recently quoted a sizable bed/bath addition project for me and was great to work with personally and professionally. I am extremely impressed with his thorough communication. There were many details to iron out and it was clear from the beginning that he understood what it takes to do the job right while balancing costs. He was immediately engaged in important considerations; everything from roof design to bathtub styles to low-cost heating options. He went above and beyond.

When we had discussed the scope of work in the downstairs unit, it was very clear the amount of demo it needed - open one wall only to install interior door, remove water heater through the closet door, remove kitchen cabinets. After I returned from the funeral on Monday, I found my downstairs unit looking like a war zone with no electricity in my upstairs kitchen or the master bedroom. I have been forced to live in a non-functioning kitchen and bedroom for 3 days with my sister from overseas and my daughter visiting causing me undue anguish. He callously tore out electrical wires with no idea where electricity would go out upstairs, and had no back up plan, except that a electrician would come 3 days afterwards to fix things. He performed unauthorized demo and electricity that cost me $11500 to repair. Moreover, I had to take out City permits because of his unauthorized work which cost $2000.
Description of Work
Demolish old kitchen cabinets. Open door to an existing wall. Create a closet inside existing furnace space.

This project was excellent. Super courteous and responsive contractor who has an extremely professional group of guys working with him. Their quality of work exceeded my expectations as did their timeline. I really appreciated their attention to detail, we had to have our walls textured to match the rest of the house, and you honestly cannot tell that these walls were not part of the original house. The workers were also really responsible with the rest of the house, they were careful not to damage the carpets and to keep the dust contained to the room that was being worked on. They were done before we expected!
Description of Work
We had our living room converted into a bedroom. This required closing the stairwell and adding a closet.

Blue Jay Construction provides professional, and more importantly, high quality services. My wife and I had a couple other contractors perform minor house repairs. Theses individuals were not responsive and did not execute the contracted work appropriately. However, John and his crew are always professional, patient, and courteous. They effectively communicate to my wife and I the pros and cons of the varied options and costs related to the garage repairs. Blue Jay provided excellent results on this projects at our home at a fair price. We will continue to use this company and would recommend Blue Jay Construction to you without reservation.
Description of Work
Blue Jay Construction have successfully completed a few jobs at my home. One of the most recent projects was major repairs to our garage. The structural integrity of the garage was questionable. John and his crew of Blue Jay Construction provided a price quote, outlined a timeline, and executed to job.

John Nicklas was also invaluable in advising us of new wireless doorbell, light fixtures, and appliances. Completely reliable in being on time and doing high quality work. And, most importantly, discovering areas of the house that were rotting and hidden from view which had to be repaired or permanent damage would have been done.
Description of Work
Installed recessed lighting, new skylights, new windows, new front door, all new appliances in kitchen. Re-shingled the entire house, painted the house. Refinished all wooden floors, remodeled bathroom, weather-proofed decks and replaced worn out wood. Negotiated with Home Depot when they failed to install carpeting properly. Customized moldings around windows to match already existing moldings.

It went very smoothly. John was a very clear communicator. We were able to set expectations and negotiate price in a very straightforward way. He and his crew were punctual and tidy and did the work very professionally in a timely way. I would definitely hire them again.

It went very well. John is a good guy. After contacting many professionals, we ultimately went with John because he was warm, straight forward, and stepped up to the plate. The job turned out perfectly.

Great. From a quick 1 hour job to make my dryer work again to a complete renovation of a commercial space dealing with a really difficult inspector, John does it right, complete and with a great attitude and communication.
Description of Work
I've hired John for many jobs over the years on both my own house and my investment properties. When I need a small or large job done quickly and through to completion for a reasonable price I call him first and often only him. Recently he did: - replaced a dryer vent at my home. - replaced a door and installed two new windows at my home. - built out a minor commercial TI including ADA bathroom and a new 1-hr floor ceiling assembly between a commercial and residential occupancy. - completed a number of corrections for a fire marshal inspection including installing egress lighting which he had to take through permitting.
