J&A Remodeling LLC

J & A was and will allways be my go to company when ever I need anything updated in my home. I loved the fact that they were knowledgeable in all aspects of remodeling our home. So far they have refinished our hardwood floors, updated our bathrooms, paint interior of our home, repaired our deck, built a new fence, roofing work, electrical work such as reupgrading our panel and moving our meter up to code. Jemal the owner and his crew were super helpful and always willing to answer any questions you might have. They accomplished an incredible transformation of our home in a conscious detailed professional manner. I would highly recommend you call J & A first for any of your construction needs.

The project involved the following. Demolition of the old bathroom (everything in the bahroom was demolished) and the room was bare studs. They then installed cement board on the floors and the walls surrounding the shower. We had chosen the tiles from homedept and chose vanities and mirror from pious store from seattle (based on their recommendation) . J&A used two different crews (possibly subcontractors) to do the demolitiion and installtion of cement board, tiles, vanities and finishing. During the project they accidentally knocked a solder in the bathroom. This caused water issues. We have to deal with the drying fan in the house for few days . But they were courteous enough to fix everything such as replace new lamps and made sure that there is no water damage. At the end the project is well done and I would hire them again. Since they are a local company, they are very obliging. We had purchased the Angies list deal ($5800) and we did some upgrades that bumped up our project cost such as Granite counter, kohler plumbing etc.

J and A Remodeling did a terrific job. They set a date quickly, gave me a time and arrived right on schedule. The work was done fast, but well, with a minimum of inconvenience for me. I was really impressed by the drywall patch which matched the existing surface, and the installation of the window which was surrounded by tile. The tilework was not damaged at all. Quality of the work was excellent. The workmen were very kind and easy to communicate with, and were willing to help me when I had a question about maintenance; They even helped me remove a stubborn bolt in a toilet seat! Ahmed and Jemal did a terrific job in estimating the cost and keeping it reasonable for my budget. The final cost was exactly the same as the bid, no surprises. I appreciated that Ahmed didn't try to enlarge the project beyond what was needed. Some companies wanted to virtually replace the ceiling just to patch a small hole! In fact, I am so happy with their work that I plan to hire them again when I remodel my kitchen.

No estimate was received and no reply to email.

Cancelled, could not agree schedule

Ahmed was very quick to respond, and he gave us a very professional and competitive bid so we went with him. They had to start a week later than originally planned due to circumstances beyond their control, however they made up for it by completing the job ahead of schedule. They cleaned up every day and were very respectful of our home. We are very pleased with the work done, and the professionalism of Ahmed, Jemal and their crew.

Overall, they did a great job. They quoted a price and stuck to it! When the dust became too unbearable, they put us in a motel at their own cost. They were very trustworthy and listened to our concerns. I would use them again. I would recommend them.

Fine except for the quality of their finish work. We had to call them back to redo it a second time. The outlet was crooked. Husband had to do some calking work to finish what was not done. The work done downstairs was good, but work in the bathroom could have been better.

Ahmed was responsive to my "many" questions. He adjusted to a few last minute requests that I brought to him - and he delivered them very well. He met me at the cabinetry warehouse for my quartz and vanity selection. He was lead in the scheduling of work and communicated information between me and the crew. He visited my home several times to check on the work. He kept me updated on issues (i.e., one wall had molds and had to be replaced) and/or progress of the work. He texted me information and photos, if I was not home to see it right away - and I appreciated that a lot! The crew - Lew and Thai - were great in meeting my requests and answering a lot of my questions/concerns, as well; were respectful and hardworking; and are good at what they do. They worked late to get the work done on time. Thank you all for giving me a beautiful bathroom.

They are great. He was supper responsive, I really like them. Unfortunately my bathroom was too big for the deal.

When we decided to change our windows, we start collecting estimates. But the two quotes we got were to high for us and we were about to postpone the project. A friend refereed us to J & A. We contacted them and they gave us a reasonable estimate. They completed the project to our satisfaction. They provided good quality materials, they worked to late hours to completed the job on time. They explained what they are doing at every step and positively responded to our requests. Very professional, reasonable priced and timely service. Thank you J & A Remodeling.

He did an excellent job. He was courteous, professional, and quite thorough. He brought things to our attention that ensured the jobs were done right. When in need again, I won't hesitate to call him. I very much recommend him.

Their price is good. I disliked that the last contractor that we had was in a rush to get out and was a little bit sloppy towards the end.

We contracted with J and A Remodeling for remodeling our guest bathroom and replacing the toilets in two other bathrooms. We hired them after reviewing and taking estimates from 3 other providers. But for the hardwood cabinets, everything was replaced in the guest bathroom: the vinyl floor was replaced with tiles; the tile counter top was replaced with granite slab; the two sinks were replaced with a single vessel sink; the tub was removed and replaced with a custom tile and glass shower cubicle that had a swinging glass door which could open inwards or outwards and a regular and rain shower; the toilet was replaced with a high power one. Jemal sent us to top vendors in the Seattle area to make our choices and he obtained the materials from them at reasonable prices. A couple of items, such as the sink and the bidet attachment in the toilet, were obtained through the web and he was completely amenable to our obtaining it from other sources. We wanted to retain the cabinets because they were quite good and matched the other woodwork. Keeping the old cabinets that was made for holding 2 under mount sinks and now fitting it with a single vessel sink proved to be quite cumbersome and Jemal had underestimated the work. His crew took on the challenge and did not charge us extra. The same was true for the shower door and the bidet attachment; however, fitting the double side swinging doors cost us about $300 extra; not much given the overall scope of the project. We now have a designer bathroom that we are very pleased with. The bathroom was out of commission for longer than we thought, because some of the tiles had to be ordered from an out of town warehouse because of some miscommunication and the work stalled for a few days. However, Jemal managed the situation well, and resumed work in a satisfactory manner. We are happy with our overall experience and we are going to hire J&A again for making some changes to the master bathroom.

PLEASED CUSTOMER! The quality of work was outstanding. Amazing attention to detail and incredibly responsive. They understood our style and most importantly our concerns to stay within budget, which they were able to fulfill! Ahmed and his crew are highly professional and more importantly trustworthy.

My hasband and I originally hired J&A for a tile repair. Adem the sub-contractor and the crew were a true professional craftsman. They were not put of by it being a small job. We have given contact to others in need of a handyman. A few month later we hired Ahmed and Jemal to remodel two bathrooms. This included upgrading counters, installing tile, installing new fixtures, constructing a new shower, and installing a new bathtub. They did an excellent job of designing them and helping select materials and colors. Ahmed and Jemal were careful to advise us on all aspects of the job. Could not be happier. Their various craftsmen were courteous and thorough. We are delighted with the quality of their work and the way the project turned out.

The project took much longer than the contractor's estimate. Project began mid-October and was scheduled for 3 weeks. Actual time to complete was 6 weeks. Among the problems - The contractor said he would order the tile and neglected to do so, causing some of the delay. The work was performed at odd hours. Several days they would start at 1pm and finish at 10pm. The worker assigned to the project punctured a drain pipe causing water to leak into the first floor. The cabinet was not aligned with the sink and had to be re-done. An electrical outlet was placed in the wrong spot and had to be relocated next to another outlet, making it to look dumb. Worker cleaned his paint brushes in the new tub. Because of the various mistakes, they had to cut into the new wallboard, patch the holes and re-paint, creating a sloppy finish. Contractor was difficult to get a hold of. They left the area outside the bathroom a mess. On a positive note, the tile sub-contractor did excellent work as did the shower door installer - Affordable Quality Glass.

This provider did not contact me about the deal and was poor about following up on the potential bathroom remodel. He did respond quickly when contacted, but never followed up after that. I also was slow to follow up. The remodel estimate was never finalized and the work was never started.

The house badly needed to be painted externally. He gave me a reasonable estimate that I did not hesitate to take compared with the other quotes. When agreed upon his offer, They pressure wash the house 2 weeks before the painting, and then they painted the house on time and on the date they said to do the work. They were careful in tapping all the areas that need covering and covered all the plants around house. As to the backyard deck, they demolished the old one and replaced it completely with a new floor. When they opened the old floor wood, they found out few water damaged floor beams and replaced it. Overall, I am greatly satisfied and will call them to do more house improvement such as replacing the kitchen counter top and putting drywall and plastering the garage, with is long overdue.

The project went essentially according to plan. We were impressed with the professionalism and the response time from when I made the first contact to the time the project got started. The Sales Man (Ahmed) showed up at the house on time, the appointment was set up for the next day morning from the original contact. He was very informative and asked the right questions to understand our needs and gave us a few suggestions. He was also very patient with us and answered all our questions. We received the bid the next day and it was very professional and had great detail. Although the bid was slightly above another contractor we received, we felt more comfortable with J & A, as they appeared more organized and seemed really know what they are doing and had great ideas and suggestions. The work got started the following week and on the first date Ahmed showed up with The project manager (Jemal) who we really liked. He was always available by email or phone and was helpful on giving advices when we were not sure on certain product selection. The most important thing was the workmanship. The crew that did the actual onsite work was great. Always on time, friendly and cleaned up every evening when they went home. It was obvious that they have a lot of experience on remodeling bathrooms and Jemal was on top of them to make sure that the work was done correctly and with quality. Overall, we love the finished product and we are very happy with the service that was provided by J & A Remodeling. Siraj and Omer.

The quality of the work was poor, especially the work done by the tile installers and the electrician. The first tile installer had a bad attitude from the start, didn't want to hear anything about how I wanted the tiles laid out, started setting up excuses before he even started working, and sure enough, did a poor job. We had to fire him and pull off several badly installed tiles. Jemal sent a new tile installer the next day. The new installer had a much better attitude and his work was better but still not great. Specifically, in one of the beveled corners of the shower niche, the tiles were noticeably out of alignment. There were several places where excess mortar was left, and because of this, the grout didn't cover the mortar - the mortar ended up being the top layer. There were also quite a few gaps in the grout. I scraped away the excess mortar and applied new grout myself after the project was done. Both tile installers left a mess outside where they had their wet saws. One installer left globs of congealed tile sawdust all over the decorative rocks lining our front stairs. The other left a layer of congealed tile sawdust, tile fragments, and spacers all over a corner of the lawn. I had to scrub the decorative rocks and shop-vac the lawn. The electrician installed a GFCI outlet. There are two sets of wires in the outlet's electrical box - one coming in from the panel, and one going out to outlets in another room. The electrician couldn't get the GFCI outlet to work properly, and his solution was to disconnect and tape off the outgoing wires. We discovered the issue a couple days later when we noticed that the outlets in the other room had no power. Last, the paint job is not very good. There were several spots (each maybe 3 or 4 inches wide) where the paint didn't cover the primer completely. I touched up those spots, but it still doesn't look great. I'm going to need to put on another full coat of paint.

All work was done quickly and effectively, especially the shower tile in the bathroom and the floor tile in both the bathroom and the kitchen/family room. The total cost was very reasonable. All of his ideas and suggestions enhanced the overall finished product. Yes, I would contact Jemal again for any additional work in the house or other properties. Thank you, Jemal!

Workers were always on time and the work was finished in a timely manner. Not to mention the work that was done in the shower was beautifully done and done to my exact specifications. Workers were friendly to me and my family and hardworking. The work they did was non imposing on my home life when me and my family came home they worked around me and my 3 kids while we were at home. After a day?s work all tools and work materials were put away so that my 2 youngest couldn?t hurt themselves while going in and out of the bathroom and the area was cleaned of work debris. The work was meticulously and promptly done and after finishing their work, they cleaned diligently after themselves. I would definitely use their services again.

Jemal sent someone else to do the estimates and that should have been my first clue that there was going to be an issue. Carlos was polite took measurements and seemed to understand what we wanted. We received a bid for the guest bath about 4 days later, never received the bids for master bath or upstairs installation of wood floors. After spending an entire day touring Jemal's suppliers looking for cabinets, tiles, baths, granite etc, we emailed saying that we were going to accept the bid but requested that we be able to use another granite supplier and that the glass shower doors be taken out of the bid and a shower rod be used instead. We requested a line item adjustment and price change that would reflect this change. The email was sent 5 days ago, and we have not had a response. The tile place where we spent time selecting tiles did not send the samples as they said they would, and brochure that he said would be sent have not come. I assume that they do not want our business since I have had no response and have not received the two other bids. Their unprofessional behavior in not telling us that they did not want our business has put us back two weeks in our timeline, and is very disrespectful.

From the estimate to job completion, the project went really well. We had a couple minor issues, which they addressed right away. Jemal and his crew do great work and are very nice and professional. We're very happy with our beautiful new bathroom, and will be calling them again for an estimate when we get around to doing our kitchen.
