Jim Black Construction Inc

I cannot say enough good things about Jim Black Construction. They were replacing the roofs on the townhome roofs when they notice that waster was leaking in my townhome. Kyle called me and let me know and by the time I got home they were tearing out the soaked walls, the soaked carpet and tearing up the kitchen floor which was buckled. They put in fans for three days and then fought the insurance company to pay for my lodging because they were tearing everything out. They finished the house beautifully and did things "right" - like painting the entire ceiling in the livingroom/dinning room/kitchen so it looked right. Everything was done very efficiently and excellent. They moved the furniture out to my garage and then moved it back in - I didn't have to do anything!.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE MORONIC CLOWNS!!! This is for work "done" a few months ago. • They're rude and disrespectful beyond belief right from the very start, but naturally more so toward the end, and intolerably so after I had finally had enough and terminated their dumbasses. • Would only do 30 minutes of work a day sometimes, and only did 0-3 days of work a week. So it was like they moved into and took over my house for 3 or so months when it could have been done in less than 2 weeks. • Barged into my house at 6 am after I let them put a pad lock key storage on my front door so they could do the work when I wasnt home. And that was also after they were told not to come early that day if at all due to an illness and personal issue. • Left a giant orange stain on my driveway from seting up a moble workshop there instead of in the available garage without my permission in the least. I discovered their vandalism after coming home from commuting back from school. They then agreed it was their responsibility and to clean it up in order to get me to agree to let them continue the work, right up until when I fired them of course. Its a simple example of nature in action: when you create an action with your lazy, incompetent, and ridiculous disregaurd for your paying clients privacy, property, and even dignity, then you simultaneously create the opposite reaction of getting your sorry ***** fired even with job almost done. You thought you could get away with being arrogant AHOLES just cause it was almost finished... you thought wrong. You get back what you deserve eventually. Enjoy your karma. To the rest of you just looking for the review info, sorry for the most undeniably deserved swearing and if your insurance company tells you to get it done with jim black like mine did after a plumbing leak, tell them ABSOLUTELY NO WAY!!!!

Although Jim Black's initial estimate of time-to-complete was much shorter than the final time taken, all efforts were made to carry out the work expeditiously. As it happened, sourcing the same underlay for the rug as had been damaged in the flood took longer than anyone expected, and was not the fault of the contractor. When the work was finished, the basement had been returned to the good condition it had been in before the accident. We were very pleased with the standard of work performed.

5/31/12 10:50 am. Received call from Kyle Ballew stating he could not come out until early next week to scope area. I informed him that I needed someone out this week. Could not take more time off for work for this at this time. Asked if someone else at their company could come out instead. He stated he will have someone get with me by tomorrow 6/1/12. Stated he would send me email so I can attached copy of insurance paperwork.11:50 am Jimmy called & stated that Kyle will be out tomorrow 6/1/12. He was unaware that I already spoken with Kyle & that there was an issue with our schedule.He confirmed that Kyle will be here but could not provide time.11:53 am Kyle called and stated that he re-arranged his schedule and will be here tomorrow 6/21/12 @ 7:30 am. I was left with the impression that he was a little irate and not happy about this.6/1/127:30 am Kyle & Justin Zarecki arrived at my home. I received their business card on arrival, but I asked to see their ID's to confirm their name match was is on card. He made it cleared that he did not like this request, but did conformed to request. During walk around, he informed me that they will be using lock box. Informed him that I did not feel comfortable with that and stated that someone will be here at all times during this process. Informed that their company only works with lock box. Asked if I could have the name of the people that would be coming into my home before they enter. He stated they do not know their names because they sub contract out. Asked if there will be a supervisor or foremen on site during this time. Was told not necessary. Was instructed if not comfortable with this arrangement that I should interview other companies. (I was left with the impression that he would be quite please if they did not get this job. He didn't want to be here anyway.)I will not be hiring this company and I called my adjuster and told them of my experience with Kyle that was refired by them.

No services were provided, other trhan an inspection of the damage, butt as of January 14, 2012, no bid.
