"Excellent company to work with! I’ve remodeled multiple homes with them and would hire them again!"

"It was terrible overall. Russell Walker from Panda Brand Construction, LLC contacted me 2am on March 5, 2025. I asked him to call me during business hours. I met with Russell on March 7, 2025 to go over what needed to be done in my home. I hired him on March 16, 2025 to scheme coat and paint living room going up stairs, repair and paint my ceiling, install kitchen cabinets, install kitchen flooring going into bathroom off kitchen area and drywalling and completing my utility room as well as epoxy countertops. The total amount, $6,700 labor and I provided all materials. On March 16, 2025 I gave Mr. Walker a cash deposit of $2,000 and received a receipt with his signature on it. He started the work on March 17, 2025 and asked for the remaining deposit of $1, 375.00 to complete half of the down payment of $6,700. I gave it to him. He was never on time to work. He would show up every day at 11am or later and leave at 3-3:30 pm. This went on from 3/17-3/31/2025. The second day at my home, Mr. Walker brought an ex-convict to my home and the two of them had a confortation and threatened to call the police on each other. After that, everyday he was bringing different individuals to my home and they were sabotaging to get more money to fix items that were not broken in the beginning. I continue to tell Mr. Walker that he needs to do better with all the work and people he was bringing. He agreed with me. Mr. Walker told me that the work in my home would only take one week to complete. I questioned that time frame and he assured me of that time. However, on week three he was still at my home and NOT one room or project was completed. He bounced all over my home not finishing anything. On March 31, 2025, Mr. Walker told a person that was helping him do work at my home to tell me he will not be returning to my home to finish anymore work. He later, showed up on 3/31/2025 to pick up his tools and told me that "since he feels that I get along better with the other person and not him. I should let the other person complete the projects". However, the other person was not qualified. He was a roofer. Because he was a roofer, he sent that person on my roof to sabotage, by pulling shingles off my roof to get more money from me to repair it. I have all the proof of pictures and text messages he sent about my roof weeks after he ran off with my deposit and abandoned the work. I also, took pictures of Mr. Walker's sloppy work (painting) that a child could have done better. He breached the contract and I would like my money back. I believe his bonded and license is a Phony and he is a Fraud."

"After a year of working with us, Marc designed the perfect home for our family. He spent significant time on site to get to know the space and spoke to us frequently to ensure his design met our hopes and dreams. His final design is visually stunning and maximizes space use in a way that reflects both the history of the home and modern preferences. His expertise in Chicago building code and city offices was instrumental in our project being approved quickly. He reviewed bids with us to ensure we selected a GC who could do the job and had competitive pricing. He regularly met and emailed with the GC and suppliers to address issues as they arose during the job so that all were resolved to our satisfaction. Throughout it all, he was just a nice guy to work with during a process that can be very stressful."

"I have been in construction for nearly 50 years, so I have developed a keen eye for quality craftsmanship. Our project was no small project, so there was a genuine concern that the right company be hired to do our project. After reading J T General Contracting's reviews, I reached out to Jim for an estimate. Again, as I stated earlier, I have been involved in construction for nearly 50 years, so when a contractor shows up for an estimate when he stated that he would, that is a good first step. In talking with Jim about our project, it didn't take long for me to realize that he knows what he is talking about and how our project should be approach. After interviewing two other contractors, it was a no brainer to go with J T General Contractors. Our project just completed today, and I can state that from the demolition of our existing deck, to the layout and installation of piers, Posts, Joists, Trex Composite Deck (with stairs and raised platform for the Spa) and composite Railings, I could not find one flaw in his workmanship. Jim takes a great deal of pride in the work that he is installing and demands that from his employees as well. Secondly, Jim has excellent communication skills, not only in responding to phone calls or text messages, but explaining what he will be doing each step of the way. I would have no problem referring J T General Contracting to family and friends and will be using Jim for our future projects."

"Danny was a consummate professional… very timely, communicative, experienced, and knowledgeable. He set reasonable expectations, then promptly exceeded them. Cannot stress enough how succinct the whole process was. We love our basement countertops, the installation was top notch. Respectful with plenty of attention to detail while being clean and considerate. A rarity these days. A family business who work very well together! Thrilled!"

"It was horrible. Ken came by my house with 2 sheets of dry wall, which I didn't need. Laid down paper on the floor for his workers. So what he was actually doing was staging the project. He didn't have his contract in order. After looking at the contract, he notice something was wrong and could not figure out what happen. The price he quoted me was $5100. Then he thought that was too low, so he went back to his truck to make some changes and came back with a lower quote, but I said well I want the $5100 quote for the entire job as quoted before. After he made changes to the contract, I signed. The next day his workers come out start working. They took the toilet and sink and then he calls me and tells me "Oh you have to buy the materials. He could have told me that up front but instead he said look at the contract. He was very misleading. This guy should be band from Angie's List. I had to spend additional $600 dollars for back splash. Then he tells me I owe him $168 dollars for materials that his workers bought that was not part of the contract. Like contractor garbage bags, pencils, water, etc. I just paid him and told him I will finish the work. Now I have to buy a toilet and a sink for my vanity that he took. B******."

"The entire process was easy. Good price. There was no pressure. He scheduled around my strict work hours. Everything was on schedule. Great clean up after. Definitely would hire again."

"My kitchen looks absolutely beautiful, I highly recommend John for any wood work projects. He was very committed and very creative with his work. Very professional and pays attention to details. Thank you for the great work, I would hire him again"

"Mr. Ariel did an outstanding job! Excellent communication with him and arrived on time to destination. He completed the work faster than expected. A+ worker! Will definitely use him again with future assembly projects!"
