John's Home Maintenance

John and his crew did a great job, protected and respected my property, and cleaned up perfectly before leaving. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

In June I put a cash deposit down for a roofing job that I was told was scheduled to be done in July.  They never showed up in July, and never called.  In mid August, I contacted them about the matter, and they finally showed up to do the job in late August.

Because I like to keep my business local, I accepted their excuses (without complaint) for not showing up or calling to reschedule that job, and I put down a cash deposit in early September for another job on my small house in Harrisville.  

I was directed by the owner of this company to have preparation work done at the Harrisville site (removal of a chimney) in order for the roof to be done.  I did so. I was told by JHM that the job was scheduled for October 4th, but no one showed up.  I called them and was told it had to be rescheduled for this week.   This morning, out of the blue, the owner of the company has informed me that unless I am now willing to pay nearly double what he had originally bid, he was going to cancel the job.  He now wants almost double the amount of that his estimate clearly stated was for the "whole roof"!!

I have been given this outrageous ultimatum at a time of the year when it is nearing the end of the season for roofing work.  It is now nearly impossible to find a local roofing contractor - those that I have talked to this morning are  booked into spring and no longer taking jobs for the fall.  I feel as though JHM knew this would happen, and saw an opportunity to make fast extra cash.

The owner of John's Home Maintenance had held thousands of dollars of my deposit money all this time and now informs me that he is backing out of the job unless I accept his nearly double-the-money option.

John's Home Maintenance has left me hanging, and part of the roof on my property has been exposed for weeks waiting for the company to honor their bid and do the work they said that they would do, and the owner of JHM seems to care less.  

I have conversed with the owner of JHM several times over the weeks as I have gotten the site ready, so he is very familiar with the job.  I have copies of the bid which clearly states what the job is.

I do not recommend this company.  They are extremely unprofessional in their dealings.  They do not do work in a timely fashion.  They have held thousands of dollars of my money, in good faith on my part.  They even staked their business sign on my lawn over 2 months ago (when I first contacted them about this job) to get lots of free advertising in a high traffic area.

I can not believe they backed out and canceled their bid at this late date.  Double or nothing - unbelievable tactic!

Stay away from this company, unless you want to be dropped at the end of the season like I have been.

Both times I have used them I found them to be very good. They are in and out in a day. He was there when he said he would be. He brings a crew in and they get the job done in a day and they came out and took care of the stuff. I think they did a very professional job. I would definitely use them again in the future.
