Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel
The experience started out okay, and the contractor seemed professional and prompt. As the job progressed, things got worse. We were having family come in on a certain date for a baby shower, I told the contractor that the work needed to be finished before then so that we could prepare for company. He was still here working as the family arrived.
Worked progressed at a slow rate because the contractor fired his one subordinate in the middle of the job. He later hired another person to help him finish the job.
Eventually the contractor hired another person to install the tile surround in the bathroom.
The Kitchen
The contract specified that the old cabinets were to be hauled off as part of the job. After the cabinets had been removed, I asked that the contractor wait a day while I asked a relative if they wanted the old ones. I told the contractor that the relative did NOT want them, and cabinets were never removed. This responsibility is directly listed in the contract/bid. At the end of the contract, I was promised on several different occasions that workers were coming to remove the cabinets. This was a lie, no one ever came, and later, after filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, the contractor stated that he didn't want to return because he felt "awkward".
I can only guess that the contractor felt awkward because he hadn't finished his job. During the last week of work, he had apparently driven a nail through a pipe in the back bathroom, which in turned caused a slow water leak that seeped up through the floors. To his credit, he did hire a cleaning crew to clean the carpet.
During the remodel, we decided to up the cost (despite having gone well over budget at this point) and have a tile backdrop placed in the kitchen. Part of this deal was that the tile would be sealed. This was never completed.
In addition, the new counter top required two end caps. The contractor ordered these, stated they were on back order, and then never got around to picking them up or installing them. As the job came to a close, the contractor decided not to answer my phone calls, or return to complete the items listed on the contract.
Full Bath
The work on the bathrooms was satisfactory, except for the tile surround. The grout where the tub meets the tile immediately started to come loose. We were informed that this was normal and that he would re-grout and re-caulk the area. This never happened, because after asking for his final payment ( as most of the work was done and he said he'd be back to finish up the little things) , the contractor never showed back up, and would not answer our phone calls.
This led to yet another problem. Apparently the contractor never paid this subcontractor for his work, so this man showed up at our doors several times with an invoice asking to be paid for his work. I promptly called Mr. Deville and told him about the situation. After cursing about "Mexicans" his response was... "what do you want me to do about it". At this point I also addressed the unfinished tasks, I was assured that someone would come out on Monday to haul off the kitchen cabinets. No one ever came, and from that point on, he would not answer my phone calls.
Half-Bath
The work on the half bath was unacceptable. The toilet, to this day, still wobbles. In response to a complaint we made to the Better Business Bureau, Mr. Deville blamed us for the toilet wobbling, suggesting that we must be doing something to it. In addition, after the fiasco where the water had seeped up through the floor, one piece of tile doesn't want to stick.
In Closing
Mr. Deville, after receiving his final payment with the promise that he would return to finish out what he called a "punch out" list, he would not even return our phone calls. Deville's defense against this is by saying that we kept "adding" to this punch out list. Apparently pointing out things like loose grout, unsealed tile, asking for paint colors so that we could touch up and other unfinished tasks that he was contracted to finish is "adding" to the job. It was clear that Mr. Deville was ready to move on to his next job and had no intention of returning to finish, leaving us with several unfinished tasks.
(one other note: We agreed to pay half up front to contractor and half when he finished. Half way through the job, he asked for half of the last payment.)
After reading other reviews of Mr. Deville's work, it is clear that this is how he operates. He finishes the majority of the job, goes over budget, asks for final payment, and then never returns.

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel
The remodeling went well but they failed to complete the items I requested, I would not trust them again. For the amount I paid, I should have had all the items I requested performed. They did not fix the ceiling in the kitchen nor did they replace the towel and tissue racks in the bathroom nor did they calk the outside windows and I specifically requested. They asked for their money before these items were completed and said they would be back to finish, but they never returned.

General Remodeling
I would not recommend him to anybody. He did not finish the job and he won't return phone calls. My laundry room is half finished. I have things in the bathroom that he was supposed to come and finish up because they were done wrong. I haven't heard from him. It was horrible.
Response from JB Design
"In response to your untruthfulness, l completed bath and you had a problem with some jack leg home owner who install toilet drain to the shower drain in a home project, and your right I didn't finish the texture in the utility room,you lay in bed naked and answer the door that way, I'm married and was uncomfortable, besides all the talk about sex and drinking,you can rate me with f all day long, I'm good at the things i do just like your wonder roommate wanted me to charge you extra on bath and paint her room, great friends u have, and put on some cloths no one likes to see that."

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel, Interior Painting + 3 more
Everything went well until work he promised to do on the kitchen ceiling and caulking around the windows in front of the home. He said he needed to be paid and I paid him trusting him because he had done a good job on the items that were finished and because he promised he would come back finish the other two items. He took the money and never returned.
He left my four windows bare and the kitchen ceiling open. I feel the cost was excessive and I would not trust him to keep his word, He also went over budget nearly $1,000.00.

Very quick to respond and give an estimate, showed up when he was suppose to, suggested some colors for me. Cleaned up after himself at the end of each day, finished in a timely manner. Very very good work. Was not the cheapest bid I got, but was worth every penny.
