JM Drafting & Contracting, LLC

Had a terrible experience with this contractor from 2020-2021. Work that did not follow plans, project overruns on schedule, job incomplete. Total mess. FIled complaints with appropriate agencies.

We hired JMDC in Feb 2022 for an addition after finding the company through Home Advisor. We were originally to do 5% as a deposit and 50% at materials. I told JMDC my parents were cheated out of 50k when they got an addition when I was young and I did not feel comfortable doing the 50% at materials. JMDC said we could do 10% as a deposit and 30% at materials and we agreed. Then we signed and paid 10% deposit. When it came time for materials, we were told JMDC needed the 50% (I dont remember why and neither does JMDC, but I figured it is a six figure project and at this point we trusted the company.) We paid the 50%. Our original contract had us owing 20% upon completion. During the first few months of construction, JMDC changed the contract to owe 1k at the end. JMDC claims they have been burned before and that is why they changed it. I was asked to pay 32k for foundation BEFORE it started, even though I was told all payments would be due AFTER work was done for each portion (Foundation, framing, rough ins, etc). By April we had paid for 90% of the whole job and by September we paid 99% of the job. To date we owe $1,160. We are currently waiting for HVAC to be installed. We have been asking what the plan was since summer. JMDC offered to purchase 4 minisplits Sept 22 (not what was in our contract) so we took time to think about it and then on Oct 4th we said we wanted to stick to the original plan. JMDC insists we install flooring first, claiming we are holding up the entire project and its a breach of contract because we are not getting the floors delivered. We have had the floors paid for since March 2023 and just waiting on HVAC. We have a deck and overhang started but not completed that have nothing to do with HVAC but we are told they are not on the critical path. I would also like to mention we have 2 minisplits on our top floor that we told JMDC we wanted to keep. They cost us 5k each and are 6 years old. The day of top floor demo (in Jan 2023) the minisplits were not covered which led to significant debris inside of the units . I called JMDC that day and they replied with you did not ask them to be covered, I told JMDC we have not done additions before and they have, and by us stating we wanted to keep them should have been enough for their crew to know to cover. JMDC called me on June 19th at 10:30pm to apologize and say they should have been covered and they would replace them. I asked for this in writing and JMDC has not only not provided it in writing but now does not recall the conversation. We appreciate JMDC being within our budget for a project we never thought possible. We appreciate the work that has been done correctly so far. However, my opinion is timelines are not being kept, there is dishonesty regarding complaints I have, lack of communication if/when workers show, unprofessional emails/texts, and the ever-growing punch list that will be addressed at the end of the project and some of these items have been present for 9 months and are unsafe. We were told the project would be done January 10th, 2023. We were told our kids would be out of their rooms for 3 weeks. We have things in a storage unit which we have paid almost $3k for so far. We were told, worst case scenario, mid June the project would be done. Then we were told ASAP and then, by Thanksgiving. We paid for the project (except final payment of 1k), and we just want it done. If workers do not show up, the project cannot get done.

Project better than imagined

Jimmy and his team were great to work with. They did a great job communicating each step. We will be enjoying our newly finished deck for the months and years to come.

As with most families during the pandemic, we found a new to create additional living spaces. When we embarked on our home addition project to repurpose our existing 2 car garage as new living areas and add a new 3 car garage, we interviewed 3-5 contractors and ultimately selected JM Drafting & Contracting. We chose them after reviewing a similar project in neighboring Blue Bell. They did an excellent job; along the project Jimmy was responsive, provided insight on weekly project tasks and offered details to ensure our needs and building plans were met. Overall, we are beyond pleased with the finished product and how well the project went. We are extremely glad we went with JM Drafting & Contracting and would highly recommend them for your future home renovation or project.

Jimmy and his team were great! Had a master bedroom addition built. He always communicated on updates to the project and always picked up the phone and answered texts promptly. I would recommend them to anyone. And the best bid out of 4 estimates.

From start to finish working with JM Drafting was a great experience. Promptly returned calls, quick turnaround on bid, and great advice on deck design choices. Jimmy knows his stuff and heâ s got a great crew of guys working for him. I love my new deck! I will definitely reach out to JM for future home remodeling needs. Several of my neighbors requested bids from Jimmy when they saw the great job he did on my deck.

Jimmy and his crew were outstanding from start to finish building our new pool deck. Highly recommended for quality work and design plus everyone was friendly and tolerated our three ankle biters.

They not only met our budget but met the schedule and produced an amazing deck (and it was a tall order). There was no detail left to chance. When we do our next project we will be contacting JM Drafting. In a world where customer service, good product, on time, and quality is hard to come by, JM and company nailed all aspects and that is not an easy feat!

Had a great experience with this company. Needed my old 2nd story deck torn down and replaced. They provided an estimate and weâ re ready to start building shortly after hiring. They were also the cheapest out of the 3 estimates I got from contractors. Jimmy was very easy to work with. His guys who built the deck were great as well. I am very happy with the finished product. The deck was built with great attention and care, it looks great. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to have their deck redone.

Jimmy and his team did quality work remodeling our basement. Easy to work with flexible,freindly and professional. I would highly recommend JMDC if you want great work at a reasonable price.

Great experience from planning, demolition of old deck and the new installation. As busy as they are, they managed to schedule me and complete project expeditiously. Deck is composite and the employees were professional, polite, and motivated. The site seemed cleaner than when they started. Any and all questions and concerns were responded to instantly. This company really knows what they are doing, and really care for they do. I had pressurized wood in mind for project but Jimmy took the time to explain the advantages of composite and explained the costs differences in detail. I'm extremely satisfied with my new composite deck and this workmanship. JM Drafting and Contracting have restored my trust in contracting and rest assured your in good hands with this company.

Jimmy and his guys did very quickly efficiently and quality work to our addition Project Excellent work explain every single step while working and ask for available Materials and cost through out the project Though labor costs is very high due to Pandemic and some Materials also took time to have it still we finished our project before time Strongly recommended that you break it down every single thing like what cost of framing,Cost of Architecture Drawings Permits all the building Materials Use and cost and Quality of Material what kind of roof material and it’s labor what kind of siding and it’s cost and what labor again all minor stuff what kind of bathroom they are thousand of choice prices and materials available you might have to little wait for it or Shop around Overall I am 100% satisfied what I deal with every person in team are friendly and listen to your concerns but advice every minor thing in return agreement Happy my project was done In 130,000 which is cost very high for middle class family but it will worth when we are able to use this one more room for family size instead buying new one Thank you GOT JMDC and I will definitely suggest my large network friends family neighbors and work and business people to give you opportunities to work for them Happy Family God bless you guys keep rocking and help family in need believe in God your work never go wrong if you put efforts. Love to have GMDC Definitely see you for next project when I have money for addition patio and sun room and bigger shed for storage

JM Drafting and Contracting, LLC completed a deck renovation removing the old existing wooden boards and replacing them with updated Trex. From the first interaction with Jimmy reviewing the different materials we could use and associated cost benefit of each, to interacting with the rest of the team on site - I would easily recommend them or use them again for another job. They were professional, and worked diligently to get the deck done in ONE day. We are very happy with the end result.

JM Drafting & Contracting did an expansion and remodeling of our Master Bathroom, floored out our attic and did the roof for our house. The bathroom looks FANTASTIC!!! Roof too! Jimmy was friendly professional and really knew what he was doing. Jimmy brought his crew in and got right to work. Besides doing an A+ job, if youâ ve hired contractors in the past like I have you give them money up front they come work for a couple days then sort of disappear on you donâ t show up again for a couple weeksâ ¦ NOT the case here with Jimmy the communication was one of the best things. He always was in touch letting you know whatâ s going on. Jimmy was always here or had someone from his crew working. You know when a contractor tells you how long itâ s going take to get the job done say a couple weeks, your house is ripped apart and months have passed? NOT the case here Jimmy gave me a time frame and stuck to the schedule! Job completed on time and yes he was juggling another jobs as contractors do. Constant communication, sticking to the schedule on top excellent workmanship. You canâ t go wrong hiring JM Drafting & Contracting â Happy Wife Happy Life! This is the same review I posted on google I just want to add I had a broken door and under the kitchen sink shelf needed to be replaced I asked Jimmy to quote me while he was here - he looked at it and just did it at no cost.

My wife and I hired JM Drafting to finish our basement and build a bar. We got 3 quotes from different contractors and JM Drafting was the best priced, had the best availability and we were not disappointed. Jimmy and his guys are professional, very respectful and do incredible work. No detail was forgotten and we couldnâ t be happier with the work they did. We will definitely be hiring them down the road for any and all future projects.

We hired Jm Drafting&Contracting for an addition and remodel of our home. Specifically we closed in our old porch and converted it to a living room and added a master bedroom with a bathroom on the upper level. They also remodeled our kitchen and dining room. In addition to that they replaced all the flooring through out the house and the roof. The project took about 2 1/2 months from start to finish. We are very pleased with everything that was done and would recommend them for future work.

A huge thank you to Jaime Marrero , Aaron Williams, Matthew and Junior of JM Drafting and Contracting, LLC!!! My new deck is more beautiful than I even imagined it would be!! Thank you for your expertise, professionalism, attention to every detail and mostly for having to put up with me ð !! I would highly recommend JMDC for any job, big or small!! AMAZING JOB!!!

Jimmie did a great job and it was done in a timely manner.

Jimmy & the crew from JM Drafting and Contracting LLC truly made our basement renovation dreams come to life! From beginning to end, they ensured that everything we wanted with this space was perfect. His crew was polite, clean, and professional. They were very knowledgeable and creative with problem solving when it came to some preexisting issues in our basement including installing access panels to our main water controls as well as fixing the steps into the basement which were previously not level with the wall. We were overall very satisfied with the outcome and would recommend this company for your home renovation and remodeling needs!

Jimmy was very easy to work with. He answered questions and explained options. The cost was within my budget and lower than competitorâ s quote. I will highly recommend Jimmy and his team.
