Johnson Construction

Very very well him and his company did a wonderful job. I now have a beautiful new hone. And could not be any more pleased. That u Jesse and your company

We have an old home so we needed windows, floors, walls replastered, a full kitchen, a new bathroom and a wall removed, along with new outside doors and inside doors. We also had wood burning fireplace converted to gas, along with electric and plumbing. Our house is beautiful!!! Jessie Johnson along with his staff Phil and Cole, were super easy to work with, hard-working and very professional. I highly recommend this company. If we need anything else done they will be the company we call!!

They were very professional, always puntctual, did the job perfect, and if we added anything, they took care of it right away. It was wonderful having them doing the job, and I was sad for them to finish, because we got to know them so well, and they became like family to us!

Jesse was awesome. Will use him again for sure in the future. Went above and beyond to help and get the bathroom done.

Scott was very professional and experienced. The job was completed on time and very well done.

Workers did a great job of finishing work and cleaning up after.

Jesse and his guys are amazing. Friendly, professional workers. Very reasonable bid. Great experience from start to finish. Happy with experience overall. We honestly cant say enough wonderful things about Johnson Construction.Thank you.

Jesse and his crew are skilled and experienced.  From the moment I met Jesse, I loved his no-nonsense attitude.  Though the work took a few weeks longer to get completed than I would have liked, most of that was due to red-tape with my mortgagor's insurance division and delays in getting payment.  The work Jesse and co. performed was quality.  Jesse was flexible and got the work done even before the bank paid us the final payment.

They were good.

Jesse and his crew are all great guys. I usually get nervous when people are working on my house but I didn't mind having them in my house at all. They were extra nice to my kids and giant dog. They are very fast. Every time I went down is was immensely different. Jesse is very good at making what you have in your head into a reality. I had lots of plans and he told me what would and wouldn't work as well a upgraded some of my ideas. I'm now in my basement constantly. We rarely use the upstairs. It is beautiful! We had other bids and they were definitely the most reasonable.
I would recommend Jesse and his crew. I would only caution you to be very specific on what you want. I only list my complaints so that the next people who use Johnson Construction will know what to look for. I'm not trying to steer anyone away from them.  We wanted our can lights staggered between the columns in the theater ceiling and they are not. They're a little random.Jesse built these great built-in bunkbeds but the ladder is difficult to use.  Also, it may be because our project look a lot longer than we first thought but the finishing was rushed and not complete. Our paint wasn't touched up, the grout on the tile wasn't scrubbed on one of the floors, no drain plug, no caulking on some of the trim work, etc. We had a doorway made into an arch and it was very rough and messy looking and I had to have that sanded down and repainted. He used flat white paint on all the doors and trim which doesn't work for me because I have five kids.  They looked filthy within a couple weeks. (Maybe I should wash my kids?) I had to pay a painter to come and repaint it all with a better satin/semigloss paint. Some of the work was never completed which I think fell between the cracks of Jesse and his carpenter (Whom is also excellent - I love my cabinets!!). I probably could have complained and brought them back over and over but I knew they were done with this project and i'm kind of a wus. I felt like I was hurting Jesse's feelings if I asked for things to be done over and over. So a lot of that is my fault and some of it is their fault for not doing it right in the first place.

I hired them again to do a job. They're going to start it in a couple of weeks. When they came out a couple of weeks ago for the quote, they let me know approximately when they would be able to do it. The quote was about what I was expecting. They are very friendly, they have done some work for me for our family before and we were very pleased with that that's why I called them again.

I had contacted them initially a couple of months ago and realized they were very busy.  Jesse and his wife Penny Johnson, came
by on a Saturday morning and took measurements and necessary info.  I was contacted in a week or so with the estimate for the
work.  I agreed to the price which I felt was reasonable and in line with another bid I had gotten. They told me it should be a day or
day and a half job and he would work it in while doing big jobs.  And he does have some really BIG jobs!
Three of his crew arrived this morning at 8:30 and got right to work.  The job turned out to be more than expected. The perimeter of
the carport was lined in concrete blocks.  An asphalt company I had hired to replace some black top knocked the blocks loose and
the carport had started sagging.  The asphalt company was suppose to come back the following week and repair it and they did not
show.  That was last spring, 2012.  It had remained in disrepair for over a year. 
Today Johnson Construction removed two rows of concrete blocks, had to cut the asphalt  and realign the bottom row.  They then
filled the bottom row  with concrete, tuckpointed them where necessary, put an aluminum wrapped 2x6(?) on the top of the reconstructed bottom row of blocks, elevated the roof of the carport as it had dropped an inch and a half from the damaged blocks.  I then had them put vinyl deck railing on that.  It was 36" high and I was afraid it would be too high and "look funny". Boy was I wrong !  Jesse assured me it would look good.  He knows his stuff, it looks great!!
 It has actually added outdoor living space. I am going to use part of it for a patio area and still have room to put the car in at night.
I highly recommend them.  They are a neat, clean, professional crew that really knows what they are doing.  They were meticulous
with their work, measuring and leveling everything.  Nothing slipshod about them!!
Thank you Jesse, crew members, Penny and you too Angie's List.

We found Johnson contruction from Yellow pages and learnt more about them from Angies's list and few other sources. At our initial appointment Jesse (Owner) came by to discuss the scope and take few measurements for the project. He listened patiently as to what we wanted to do and then suggested different ways he could do the remodeling. The ideas which he gave were great. We never thought that our small bathroom will be this spacious after completion.  He provided us with a quote which was reasonable and infact, 3 times less than one of the contractors that we took quotes from. I was not comfortable with the basic contract that he gave and wanted to have more details in there. Jesse was patient enough to modify those for me wherever he could. Initially the work was estimated to complete in 2 weeks but, it went upto 3 weeks. We were informed as to why it is taking that long and we both were okay with it. Jesse did great job and we are very happy with the quality of workmanship. They cleaned up everything after completing the work.
The project went a little above the estimated cost due to an additional request by us. We felt that that the extra cost was high for our request alone but, again for the quality he gave we went ahead and paid that amount without any discussion as we are very satisfied with his work. We highly recommend him and would hire him on our future projects.

The job was finished almost one month from start.  The time was understandable and reasonable considering the hidden issues existing the 40 year old house.  Mr. Johnson told me his method of work was to complete the work the right way every time.  I will attest he did so.  His final price was the same as his proposal even though they team went above our expectations.   The only additional costs were caused by my desire to change the original plan.  These included my instructions for upgrades in the door, tile and shower fixtures.
Although this project was a major renovation, my wife and I were able to live in the house during the project.  The team cleaned up all refuse at the end of day, ensured work was completed so water and sewer facilities were usable each night. 
Mr. Johnson has been  operating his construction business for 26 years.  Only a skilled craftsman and a honest man could be so successful.  He and his team are skillful in their own right, but he employs skillful and capable sub-contractors at the same skill level.  The plastering and masons are examples.

The Johnson Construction Team are honest and skillful craftsmen dedicated to do the job right.

I know that the rule of thumb is to ignore all reviews that are  ALL positive or  ALL negative, but for your own sake, please do not disregard my review based upon the "A" ratings alone.  I can honestly say that Johnson Construction met and exceeded my expectations. 

I called Jesse after getting a couple very discouraging bids on my wife's dream remodel project, fully expecting him to confirm what the others quoted; however, Jesse surprised me in every way.  The first thing that struck me was his immediate response, he called the very same day that I sent him an email....which may not be that surprising, but it was on a Sunday....and not just any Sunday, but the day before we were supposed to get the "Great Ice Storm of 2011".  So while most people were out buying generators, gasoline, and rock salt...Jesse drove to my hous, that very same night, to bid on the job.  The first thing that struck me was demeanor; he was polite, knowledgeable, and patient.  The next thing that struck me, was how radical his design was from the other contractors.  While the other two contractors bid the main floor with an exposed beam, Jesse suggested that we do a "hidden beam", so that it would appear that the original 1960s house was built to have an open floor plan (just like the newer houses of today).  The last, and most important thing that shocked me that night, was that he bid the job at HALF the cost of the other contractors...PLUS he threw in the demo of the soffit, the creation of the half wall, and plaster finishing (including the coped ceilings).  THEN he said he would be completely done in 5 days...I was about ready to call BS, but then I saw the look in my wife's eyes...this was everything she wanted AND for a price that would make it feasible for us to get a decent return on investment (which is what I wanted).  I played it cool, and thanked him for his time...thinking it was too good to be true, and fearing I would become a shining example of "getting what I paid for".  I checked him out on Angie's list and BBB, since he had a stellar record; I called him up to sign a contract.  He had to special order the Laminate beams, so he asked that I pay half upfront; this being my first time at hiring a contractor (and giving a stranger $3,500), I asked him to sign a supplemental contract that my lawyer prepared....he had no problems accommodating me.  At that time, we discussed his load calculations on the header beams to ensure we had the proper design for the required support.  He stated, that based upon the product specs and the structural engineer's recommendations, I only needed two 2" x 11" x 16' laminated beams married together; however based upon my concerns, he doubled the order to four beams AND he didn't change his original bided price. 

The day finally came for the job, and the only prep work I had to do, was remove all the electrical wires from the walls that were going to be demo'd.  He showed up on time with one of his guys (Phil), and the two started work immediately.  By the end of the first day they had removed the basement wall and installed the header beam. 

On Day 2, they showed up on time again, and installed the two 32' beams in the attic using simple, hand crafted joist hangers (that provided more support than any pre-fab units available).  The cool thing about this, is that because he wanted to maximize the strength of the beam, he decided not to cut the beams in half (to make it easier to get them up in the roof from the inside); instead he ingeniously pulled off the siding on my eve, cut a hole big enough for a man, then slid the beam right into the attic.  He, of course, patched the hole and replaced the siding when he was done; but keep in mind, it was really cold out the week of February 21st to be working in an attic with a big hole in the attic.

On the 3rd day, they demo'd the upstairs wall and soffit, then constructed the half wall surrounding the stairwell.  As you can imagine, cutting out 40 year plaster made quite the mess, but they cleaned everything up...and I mean everything; Jesse finished the day, by mopping the entire hard wood floor on his hands and knees with a bucket and a sponge. 

Day 4 came with more finishing work and cleaning; he left the house ready for the plasterers to come in and start work the next day.

The last day of the project, his sub-contractors for the plaster work showed up (Johnson & Sons Plastering Inc.).  These guys were amazing, not only were they able to match the pattern of my very elaborate and ornate plaster, but they also perfectly matched the plaster coping that runs throughout the room and extended it into the newly joined room.  During the course of the day, Jesse and his wife showed up to check on the progress...even though there was nothing left for him to do.  They were great to talk to, but what amazed me the most about the whole process, was the overwhelming sense of pride he had in the quality of his work.  There was nothing specifically spoken, but instead it was the smile he had on his face, that made me realize that even after 25 years of doing this job, he still loves what he does.  Nothing alleviates that sickening feeling in your stomach of ?Buyer?s Remorse?, than seeing the service provider so very proud, of what he provided to you. 

I have since recommended him to many of my friends and neighbors, which is saying something because I never vouch for anyone...not even family.  I can honestly say that I will happily use his services again.  

Jesse, if you read this...thank you again for giving my wife the house she wanted, without forcing us to move ( and taking a bath in this buyers market).

They always showed up when they said they would and did what was promised for the price quoted. They were courteous, professional and a pleasure to have in our home. We cannot wait to have them back to work on other parts of our home.

Was very professional and did a very good job. Quality of products used could have been better, but workmanship was outstanding.
