Originally I was told he would do the job one day and then have to come l in a few weeks to have it inspected and some other things. When he got here and he got busy immediately and he worked very fast. He finished the job, and somehow got the inspector out the same day. the job was finished in one day. AWESOME!

We were totally happy with them. They did the job from top to bottom. They did a good job. They were on time. They were in line financially with other companies. They were easy to communicate with. They did what they said their going to do. They were within budget. They were good with communication. They did the job on time.

I do not recommend this company to others and just don't want to see anyone else have to deal with similar issues. I think SJ Construction is not a professional company. I had a verbal agreement with SJ Construction that they would complete this job in 3 days, as well as match the new trusses to the existing trusses in the first stall. However they started the job in October and didn't finish until Christmas time the same year. I continually had to call the company office and they continually apologized for the delays. Due the project extending so long I asked the company to hold on pouring the cement until spring, but they poured it anyway in December when the temperature had dropped below zero degrees. Now the concrete is breaking up. When I spoke with the owner of SJ Construction about this he told me I must have put ice melt on the concrete but I hadn't. There are also structural integrity concerns with the second stall they built. When you look at the roof of this second stall, you can see the trusses they installed do not match up to the trusses of the existing first stall garage. SJ Construction must have used the wrong trusses. What I really wanted them to make right with me was to repair the cement work. The owner later told me he would have his cement guy come out to inspect. The cement guy came out but then I heard nothing about what he was willing to do. Therefore I had to call the office and they again said there was nothing they are willing to do because they feel I put ice melt on the concrete.

Provided a free estimate in a timely manner. Estimate too high - chose another provider.

I called Steve for an estimate on 23 January, the permit was issued on 30 January, and the crew was on the job the next day. Over the next two weeks, the work was completed, through some of the coldest weather of the winter. I was extremely satisfied with the work, and was happy to tell my neighbors, when they complimented the look of the new porch, that S J Construction was my contractor.

I am happy with the result. There were a couple additional expenses but since my house was built around 1940, I expected it. The only issue I had was with the flooring company. I wanted to be home when they came to install the carpet in the bedroom to discuss the doorway. (One of the quirks of having an older house). They came without letting me know and I was not satisfied. When I contacted SJ Construction, the flooring company came back and the issue was resolved.
I would recommend SJ Construction. They will be one of the companies that I call whenever I need more work done.

A friend of mine had them repair flood damage in 2008 and was very disgusted with the quality of work done. I am very disappointed and concerned about the future of my home.
Response from S J Construction Inc
"I Thank the member for her description of the work SJ Construction performed. However her information is not quite correct. The project for the roof on her house was done in the summer of 2008. Her house is what is commonly called a fish bowl house. The City of Waterloo Community Development contracted SJ to install a rubber roof on the house only. We actually put a slanted roof on the fish bowl roof so that the water would actually have a run off at the (2) ports on the back of the roof instead of sitting on the roof which was breaking down from lack of maintenance, age and standing water. The roof supports were installed, sheeting was installed and the rubber roofing was applied with the proper glue. The Historical Society had become involved with this project and said that we could not use screws, we had to use glue. This was not a problem for SJ Construction, we did what the Historical Society demanded from us. When the project was complete, the Community Development manager came out and inspected the project as well as the City of Waterloo building inspector. Both were very pleased with the out come of the project. Unfortunately, the roof had leakage. The owner of SJ, the installer and the supplier went out to see what was going on. There were no charges associated with this inspection. The new roof had not been maintained and leaves had closed the (2) ports on the back of the house and these (2) ports emptied into commercial gutters and down spouts which were also full of leaves. Due to the leaves clogging the ports and gutters, it left water standing on the rubber roof. When this happens, it freezes and breaks down the rubber and the gutters. Then the water penetrates when it melts which then causes leaks. This issue was out of our control as it was a maintenance issue. As with any type of project—there is always homeowner maintenance that needs to be done. However we did go and clean the gutters, the ports and removed as much snow as possible for a minimal $50.00 charge. As for any damaged items, we can only replace/repair what has been told to us. There are no notes regarding a bird bath, however there are notes regarding the torn screen which was replaced/repaired. As for the extra charges, this was to finish paying what was out of the City’s realm of available monies. It was $618.00 for the member's portion. The project was just over $14,000.00 which included the member's portion. Unfortunately for SJ it took almost 4 years to get paid by her."

The company was quick to schedule an appointment for the repair. The repair took as long as estimated. The bathroom was cleaned after the repair and painting.

It was nice that they were at least willing to do it while we were unavailable. The cost of the fix was exactly as the gentleman had quoted. I'd use them again, but wouldn't expect a quick fix for small jobs. They're busy!
Response from S J Construction Inc
"We thank the homeowner's for allowing us to take care of their siding needs. Unfortunately, due to scheduling and jobs that were already in progress, we were unable to get started sooner. I know that the Mrs. seemed suprised about the 3% fee for credit card processing, however it does state that there will be the fee in the contract. I apologize that they did not notice that in the section regarding payments."

I spent about $15,000. They came out early one week and took the old windows out. They left in the new ones. They will be coming out the next week to work around the edges. The guy, who put the trim on the outside, is different from the guy, who did the window installation. I think they are on different schedules. The job turned out to be fine. I would use them in the future.

. There were some delays in scheduling, but once scheduled, the crews worked efficiently; the company has been responsive to any questions, and has discussed options that have cropped up along the way. We already had relationships with electricians and plumbers, and SJ was willing to work with and coordinate with thses providers. We have been extremely pleased with the attention and the quality of the work, as well as the willingness to keep us informed. Darryl Torrinport

They do pretty good work. We've actually used them several times and we've not been unhappy other than the fact that they don't finish the wood work. It really was a fair price, they did an awful lot of work. They were very responsive, we had trouble getting other people just to give us estimates.

The work started on time. We had some weather delays and a few changes in the plans. Project finished slightly long due to delays and changes. Quality of work is good. Management of the project was superb.
