"I hired Always to install an egress window and install a patio⠦⠦they out performed my expectations⠦..and I work in the construction field!⠦.."
"JDS is a fantastic company and a pleasure to work with. Jordan, the owner, came to my house to evaluate the job and provide an estimate. He was very detailed and honest in his assessment. He made various recommendations that substantially improved the setup of the systems, including some that helped reduce costs. A few days before the job was to start, I had to re-schedule due to unrelated reasons. Jordan was able to reshuffle his schedule to be able to accommodate my new timeframe. His crew was always punctual, clean, and respectful of my house. They worked very efficiently and were able to complete the job in under a week. The two windows look great and have substantially improved the feeling of the basement, I would highly recommend JDS to anyone looking into egress windows. Outstanding experience!"
"I ended up not using their services, but in my short interaction with them they were very courteous, responsive, and professional. I was drawn to their earth friendly focus and would call them again in the future for a future project. "
"Rosaly and Arquimedes are doing a fantastic job installing a basement kitchen, bath, and rec room. He's an incredibly hard working and honest man who cares about the quality of his work and his attention to detail. He's on time and is always open and flexible to any changes. His prices can't be beat even after I vetted several other contractors. He's very easy to work with and has great ideas. His finishing work is beautiful and clean!! You won't go wrong with Rosaly! "
"EJALE did a complete roof and gutter installation. The crew was professional. The job was done in a timely manner and all debris were cleaned up and discarded appropriately. They communicated with me throughout the process of repairs. I am so very please with their work. The price was a very good price. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends."
"Everything went very well. Had to take Miguel to home depot to get a few extra supplies. I had almost everything on hand for the work to be done but some simple extras were needed. Work proceeded on return and was completed without issue. Work took place in a friendly and cooperative manner."
"We are very pleased with the work that was done. Hats off to Janilo Ugalde, a one man crew. Not only did he do the job himself, but even took time showing us and explaining what he did as he went along and cleaning up after the job . We hope he is commended and rewarded for a job well done. We also want to thank Lon Brankovich, Foundation Specialist for all his help in explaining everything that would be done. Really a great help."
"They don’t use their own people, they subcontract out their projects. My experience was you could hardly speak to the contractors with your views/wishes because they didn't speak English well. The work was okay, I just had to call back a few times to unclog my gutters and they weren't as quick to respond as I'd like, but they were okay."
