JM Begin Construction

I initially hired J M Begin Construction in January 2025 to renovate the 2nd floor of a 1930’s Cape Cod style home. Over the next several months the 2nd floor has been transformed into a very attractive and cozy heated two bedroom living quarters. J M Begin has proved to be exceptionally reliable, very attentive to my questions and concerns. His skill set acquired over many years experience in the building trades is outstanding. I would highly recommend J M Begin Construction.

Jim was very responsive and open while we gathered quotes, he was very considerate of our house while performing the work and cleaned up afterwards, he explained clearly what the project would entail and how long it would take, he stuck to that schedule and plan and there were no surprises, and the work was high quality, no issues. Would definitely recommend Jim for work.

Jim?s work is excellent. His proposal explains what needs to be done. Jim is very polite and answers any questions that you might have. Work is done in a timely manner and when completed Jim makes sure the area is cleaned up. I would recommend him to anyone that needs work done and I would definitely hire him again. D Berard

Excellent workmanship, professional approach to the task presented to him. I highly recommend him.

Great guy.

I have hired Jim Begin for numerous jobs including replacing 10 windows in my home, siding, install a slider door, kitchen flooring, general carpentry. He does exceptional work, is organized, arrives on schedule, hard worker, very reliable. Quality work consistently! I have many more projects ion my list and will be looking to Jim!

I hired Jim to repair my shed which entailed new shed doors and trim, new ramp to take care of all the items that had rotted throughout the years. Jim was a consumate professional and completed the job in a timely manner (1 day ). The price was good and he had always been in contact with me before he was about to start.

Jim was excellent at advising the work needed and estimating the total time for our door replacement. When he couldn't finish the work the first day, he made sure the door was usable and able to lock. He also showed up early the next day and finished the job to perfection!

Jim did a great job fixing and weatherproofing a door. On time and on budget..

Jim was very helpful. Did all the projects I wanted done. A pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend Jim.

This was a basement insulation and door hanging project. Jim showed up on timeâ for both the estimate and the actual work. He was courteous and helpful; and when the project changed slightly, he was able to adjust to meet the unanticipated differences. The work was done well, he cleaned up, and made sure we were happy with the completed job. Prices were affordable; we would hire again and have a spring project in mind.

Jim is very creative, strives for the affordable, on time and on buget. He and his crew are a pleasure to have around.

I had a couple of small projects that needed to be done. I am a single female homeowner on a very tight budget, so I needed to find someone reasonable and someone honest. I did a lot of research, only to find that no one wanted to give me an estimate without a hefty deposit, or they said that the job was too small, or they didn't have the time, or I couldn't afford them. But then I found Jim on HomeAdvisor. What a blessing! He gave me a detailed estimate via email after I sent him pictures of the project. I bought the material myself so he only charged me for labor. While he was installing my screen door (the 1st small job), I asked him to do another small job for me - no problem. He fit me in - in between other jobs that he had going on. He is a perfectionist, to say the least. Everything he did was absolutely fantastic. He is very respectful and was patient with all my questions. He followed up with me after the job was done to be sure that it was done to my liking. I have used a lot of contractors over the years, and have never found anyone as wonderful as Jim. I highly recommend JM Begin Construction, and will be hiring him for all my projects!

Jim was a very good carpenter, he came ASAP I went on the site, very knowledgeable, and he did my project 2 days later and did a fantastic job!i highly recommended Jim for your next project!

Technician arrived on time and fixed all of the tasks I need fixed.

Jim is thoughtful and creative. He communicates well. He shows up when says He will. We expect to hire him again.

Outstanding. Did a great job. Timely, explained everything he was going to do. He knows what he's doing

JM Begin responded from a request I made on Angie's List.I was charged $120.00 for fixed pricing by angieslist. I told JM Begin I needed to replace corroded shut offs for a new clothes washer which would be delivered within the week. He said he had a plumber Matthew Moran. I sent him pictures and he said he would send a quote and would arrive the next day. The plumber pulled out the machine 12-inches from the wall and replaced the shutoffs. It took 30-min at most. JM Begin said he put the quote on Onedrive which I did not get. He had a written quote for $374.65. I told him I was charged $120.00 for fixed pricing which I thought would be deducted from my quote. He called AmgiesList supervisor and I was later credited $120.00. I wore a protective mask and stood my distance. I gave him a check for $374.65 (plus $120.00 at the time). I felt I was overcharged, but with the Covid19 danger, I wanted everyone out. Day later I responded to a review from Angieslist and wrote my review under Mr.Handyman of MetroWest. Mr.Handyman called JM Begin and Begin called me to correct things. I referred him to online quotes for plumbing tasks and told him his pricing was way off. He droppd of a check for $100.00. He said his sub contractor charged him $265.00. So the rest was his. I had the review removed from Angie's List. This was an unfortunate situation. I've used Homeadvisors several times before and have been satisfied each and have retained my contacts. I will never use Angie'sList again and will not hire JM Begin again. Even though Marthew Moran plumbing service was excellent, the experience was difficult and stressful I will hire a plumber directly thru Homeadisors.

Jim built a brand new shed for me and it looks great! The neighbors have commented on how nice it looks. Jim was very responsive, dependable, and does high quality work. He is also willing to work with the owners to make sure the customer is satisfied with his work. A nice touch was installing a steel door with a lock-set and a window that opens with a screen. Would definitely hire him again.

Jim replaced our deck, he did a fantastic job, I would recommend Jim to anyone that needs work done, he is very good, he always explains what he is going to do before he does it. Jim is very honest and reliable. Can not wait for my next project for JM Begin, thank you Jim for a stress free project..!!!

Review by ALPAR, Leicester, MA Project:Rebuild Interior Stairway and Remodel Bathroom Stairway: Jim Begin is honest, reliable and trustworthy. He gave me an estimate to remove the carpet and existing wood and haul the trash away, rebuild the stairway per the latest building codes of the town. When I saw the completed job, I was so impressed with the results that I asked Jim to give me an estimate to remodel the bathroom of my home. Bathroom: I accepted his estimate and the job was completed in a very professional manner and looks great. He hired the plumber, electrician, painter and tiler that he needed and coordinated all the necessary timing of getting the job done. The result is an awesome remodeling of changing a half-sized to a full-sized bathroom. As an elderly, handicapped person, the walk-in shower with well placed hand rails has replaced the bathtub for my safety.
