Carpentry Framing - Repair
I wish that I had asked for a quote on the project first so that I could see the breakdown. The project was twice as much as I had budgeted for. Initially I was told the hourly rate of the person providing the estimate and that it would be 1 day of work. I most likely would still have had the project done by this company but I would have planned differently.

Wood Stairs and Railings Installation and Replacement
NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE
Response from JFM Construction
"One of my carpenters had some issues. Although they really liked him, I had to let him go. I brought in another carpenter and he saved them a significant amount of $. I saved them a couple of thousand dollars on the project. I also went and helped finish the project myself. I even picked up and delivered, and installed gravel at no charge. The place was spotless when I left as well as the quality of work was without reproach."

I was hoping to be writing a 5 star review but I feel like I was taken advantage of. The owner gave me a quote to clean the roof, $900 and noticed missing shingles . He quoted an extra $350 to fix the tiles. I agreed, after he finished the job he charged me 1500.00 because he said he did extra fixes. I have no way of knowing what he did or didn?t do and he should?ve told me he was changing the price before hand. When I told him that, he listed everything he did and claimed he deserved the extra $. I had no choice but to pay him -without having a husband around I felt strong armed. The next day I sent him a text and told him how I felt and that it was bad business. He still continued to justify his price . I was hoping to find a good, honest business to call on for other projects that are coming up but he chose to leave on a bad note. It?s unfortunate but I can?t trust him now.

"The chimney had cracked concrete across the top as well as lead that needed to be replaced. I asked her if she wanted us to fix it as leaking was already happening. I gave her the price and she agreed. On top of that I power washed the back of the roof for free. I could not make her happy, but I tried."

Deck or Porch - Build or Replace
This contractor speaks English as does his crew. The men on the crew are polite and are able to complete the work with very little supervision. The contractor is able to identify both existing and potential structural problems and recommend solutions. The original project quote was $23,460 and the final cost including additional work was over $46,000. The work on the project failed building inspections twice and we were billed (and paid) the extra work and materials that were required to finally meet the building inspector's criteria. I would recommend careful examination of any proposal and review by legal counsel, and close scrutiny of invoices. I recommend that a proposal be required to include the cost of the building permit and disposal fees. I will provide photographs of unacceptable work and of work that is incomplete.
Response from JFM Construction
"Mrs. H[Consumer name withheld at their request] wasn't part of the contract. I dealt with her husband who wanted to do all the extra work. I had a contract with him and he was the one who requested I replace three times as much decking as well as repair an extensive amount of rotten framing underneath another part of the deck where we weren't originally working. The call backs on the inspection came from owners request to reuse existing railings. Unfortunately, I had the overzealous building inspector that complained that some of the balusters on the old railings were an 1/8" too far apart. The second inspection failed because the bottom of the railing, which matched 85% of"

Deck or Porch - Repair
Jim showed up quickly and did a great job for a fair price. He called me before any of the other's on Home Advisor and showed up the next day to start work. It turned out to be a big job and he went above and beyond in painting and sealing the rubber below the deck.

Basement beam reinforcement work and a new roof were completed on time as promised. Jim made a mistake on the roof measurements coming in lower on his quote than should have been. Being the professional he is, he acknowledged this and took the "hit" stating it was his fault not ours. We HIGHLY recommend Jim and his crew. They cleaned up the yard and everything is perfect for the sale of our home. He is a very NICE and HONEST man with insurance and licenses. We would definitely hire him again. Thank you Jim!!!

A complete miscommunication. The floors were to be refinished to match the rest of the house and we came home to find the floors completely stripped of color, sander marks in the wood and the wrong finish. No match at all. It was a very unfortunate experience for both the business owner and ourselves. However, Jim had another crew come in and redo the floors and this time the results were to our satisfaction. Be very specific with your project.
Response from JFM Construction
"I had told the homeowner that the floors would lighten up when we sanded them. I said they would be a different color than the other floors in the house. I gave her a price to stain the floors and the husband said no. I sanded the floors and they lightened up as I said they would. We finished the floors and they were unhappy with the color of the natural wood. The husband started threatening me that he worked in the courthouse and would sue me and spread bad rumors about me. The wife was kind to me so I re-sanded and stained the floors for free. And they still wrote a somewhat negative review."

Didn't know Jim prior to job. He was attentive, professional and personable. Looking forward to having him come back to complete the up-stairs, and would recommend him to anyone for flooring and/or carpentry work. Great Job!

I HAD TO GO AROUND MY HOUSE AFTER JPM COMS WAS PAID IN FULL. AND CHAULK ALL OPEN AREAS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. I DO NOT LIKE WORKING WITH ANY COMPANY THAT WORKS BY THE HOUR. I TOLD THE CONTRACTOR THAT ALL I WANTED TO SPEND WAS 3000.00. I HAD TO PAY 400.00 EXTRA. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE EXTRA WORK UNTIL IT WAS DONE. I NEVER APPROVED THIS WORK. ALTHOUGH THE WORK WAS NEEDED AND DONE VERY WELL. I THINK THEY TRIED TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU .
Response from JFM Construction
"It is not true that Richard did not approve the work as we had a contract explaining that we would fix rot under rot wood. I also spoke with the homeowner on the phone and he authorized us to fix the rot we discovered. He also failed to mention that I gave him 8 hours for free and took $300 off the bill. He wanted work done for free as he said it was needed and done very well."
