John Jones, also known as JJ was given a drawing of exactly what I wanted. the rail was to be both cable and wood. He said he would hand pick the red wood from Eastside Lumber. He did not, matter of fact the wood was nothing like the sample provided. It was stained from strapping and had many knot holes. It was to have been delivered the day before so I could stain it on all sides. It was not. The crew used my rollers to slap on the stain and immediately wipe it off. Essentially doing so that it didn't have time to penetrate the wood. John was never on site when it counted. He crew was left to do what they though and not what I had discussed with him. The railing was installed so that the stainless cable could not be used. John said he had to design a metal strip for it. Well no that wouldn't have worked. John also placed the 4 x 4 on the corner, well a metal cable can not make a 90 degree angle through a piece of wood. The design showed 2 4 x 4's on either side of the deck corner. The 4 x4 was attached to the house, no room for the cable. The deck is not safe (it is off the 2 floor), it is nailed to the house. It needs to be bolted so that it won't pull away form the house. There is also nothing to prevent racking, which is also a safety hazard. John prided himself on leaving a gift, well the gift was using my, I paid for it, wood. He did what he wanted which was to slap together 2 tables I do not want. the extra wood was to be used to make air conditioner fences. They carted off some of the larger pieces of wood (which I know were used on another job) and then the rest. John was also suppose to remove and add wood around the garage door that was rotting. they only did half the job. He was also suppose to come back and lightly sand the wood and apply more sealant. Never saw him again. Matter of fact his text messages are proof of his character. 2 other people that used him had major issues as well. But they will not step up and post of his and quot;issuesand quot; John will talk a good story but his work here is not safe. Hire someone else save yourself the money and headaches. There must be a reason why there is no physical address for him.

The work is still ongoing. They do work as we need them. They are currently doing an awning for us. We trust them. We trust that the work they are doing they are doing right. They balance price and schedule. We created a relationship with this company and they are our first go to company for any job.

Our experience with them was great. It was a great crew. They were professional and on time. It was well-run.

Johnny and his team far exceeded our expectations.
He finished early and under budget.
