"JDM is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with. They are my go to for all concrete works and I've used their services extensively. A 70'L x 12' tall 2'thick Keystone retaining wall with 2 bends, footings, a 100' sidewalk curb, 1200 sq feet of crushed stone leveling and ground prep. Thousands of sq feet of landscape grading. They've been been spot on every time. For example, the retaining wall, has both low point drainage and face drains, with stepped geogrid tiebacks. This is how a proper retaining wall is done. They even trimmed the geogrid fabric around the blocks 100% pro grade retaining wall. Get complimented on it by other contractors all the time. Footings were 2'round and 1'round dug 4' deep, well below frostline, positioned right on center for steel posts. Ironworker gave a "dang, these footings are dead nuts". The concrete walk had 2 vectors of fall, 2% linear fall and 1% lateral. There are relief scores every 6' and its edges properly shaped against chipping. Obviously mother nature doesn't play nice and poured concrete does its thing, so I bet I could bust out my micrometer and laser level and find some +-% somewhere, or some place where concrete leaked through forms. Its real life and poured material doesn't always obey. I read some bad reviews here and I must say, am surprised. If you communicate to Danelle and Melvin what you want done EXACTLY they will get it done to your speciifications as close as anyone I've worked with. Danelle shows up on time to do the estimates, bids are quick and fair, and the invoice has always been at or below bid. Melvin is a top tier foreman. Asks what you want before every job. He does exactly what you say, so some of the negative reviews could probably have been more thorough with their instructions. Specify depth, degree of fall, give them the architectural prints. You will get what you want. If you want precise results, give precise instructions, and JDM gives me the results I want every time, bar none. I'll build my retirement home on their concrete."

"We had a concrete slab poured for a 8’x12’ shed. Al was very responsive and they were able to get the job done quickly, which was very nice since we had a target date to complete our project. Very fair price and they did all the dirt backfill and leveling. I came home from work and Al was even sweeping our driveway! Great work and I’d highly recommend them."

"These guys remind me of the Old Days when I worked for All-Work construction. We lived by our word and our quality of work. Yep, these guys are the real deal they gave us a very competitive quote and lived by that quote. They take pride in their work and have great work ethics IE they show up when they say they are going to show up and do what they said they would do. Thank you for all you did. To name a few they, finished the hardwood floor, (other contractor bagged on us), completed all the finishing work and drywall repair/ replacement. Painted the interior and repaired the roof over the Florida room. And completed all the landscaping work."
