We were having issues with water seeping into our units. They came, took a look at the problem areas that needed to be sealed/tuckpointed and supposedly fixed them. Barely a week later it rained and lo and behold, water was still flowing into the units. Another contractor came out to work on a related issue and pointed out all the places they left untouched They provided a warranty for their work. I've called the past 2-3 months and they kept on saying they'll make it back, give a date and a time and just decide not to show up and don't even call to cancel. I'd reach back out to them and they'd do the exact same thing until I had it. Save yourself the headache, waste of time and money and go with a professional contractor who knows what they're doing or you'll be greatly disappointed. At this point, I'm convinced the other reviews here must be made up

I hired PV Roofing and Construction to sand and stain our wooden floors. PV in turn hired a…read morecompany to do the work, and that company did a very nice job. PV's role was to clear out the furniture from the rooms, inspect the workmanship, and move the furniture back in. In the course of moving the furniture, PV caused significant damage, which they refused to remedy. In the 44 years that I have lived in my house, I have dealt many service companies and never had such a negative experience as this one. Here is what happened: The company's owner, Juan Martinez, told me up front that "we are not a moving company" and "can't be responsible if [items] get damage/ scratch[ed]." Accordingly, I moved everything myself except for very heavy items such as couches and tables. When Mr. Martinez arrived with his crew, he asked if he may remove a sliding patio door in order to move the furniture out the back of the house. I told him not to do this because it would be difficult to get the door back on its track. He did not follow my instructions and left the door frozen in the closed position. When I pointed this out to him, Mr. Martinez brought in a door "expert" who told him that the door frame was rotten and was not repairable. The fact is that I had new rollers installed a year ago, and the door functioned perfectly before PV arrived. Mr. Martinez argued that the door was near the end of its useful life, and he is not responsible for repairing it. Dismayed, I gave him a check for the balance that I owed him. After Mr. Martinez left, I discovered that he had also broken the arm of an expensive dining room chair. Mr. Martinez admitted that he had tried lifting the chair by its arm but claimed that he is not responsible because PV is not a moving company. My contention was that his disclaimer did not absolve him from negligence. At that point I stopped the check and hired two companies to repair the damage. One company restored the door to its prior condition, and the second took the chair to its shop for repair. This process took one week, during which time Mr. Martinez sent me several abusive letters and threatened to sue me. He also refused to submit a claim to his insurance company. Both repairs turned out to be inexpensive, and I deducted the cost from the balance owed to PV, which I sent to Mr. Martinez. I advise anyone who wishes to hire PV Construction to insist on a written contract and make sure that the company is bonded.

Peter kept in contact daily (or every other day). He was easy to to find him via email or phone - no problems. His crew worked through some of the hottest weather in Aug-Sep 2013. In addition to their collective craftsmanship, they carefully removed and replaced our 6-foot, flower-filled window boxes (heavy and awkward). Our little bungalow is the house of our dreams.

I provided Eric with detailed architectural plans of a deck and mudroom addition, which were drawn by a professional. I received 3 quotes. Eric was the highest. I told him that we wanted to work with him, but that his cost was higher than his competitors. He said that he had been doing this for 30 years and had completed 100 projects like mine. His quotes were accurate, unlike his competitors who will raise their price during the project. I told Eric that we were willing to scale back our project to fit it within our budget, but needed him to tell us how we could adjust the quote. He said that he could look at the details, but would need $500 to cover the cost of producing an itemized quote (I received detailed quotes from the other contractors). When I met with him again, I very clearly communicated that the original price was over budget. He acknowledged my desire, and gave me his word that he would be within 5-10% of his original estimate. I reminded him (several times) that we would scale back our project to hit the budget. Eric's itemized quote came back 20% higher than the original, AND he removed several large items (finish carpentry, painting, electrical installation, tile installation, heated floor, electrical fixtures, exterior locks and hardware) from the quote that he led me to believe were in the original.* If you add all of these back into the quote, except for the finish carpentry and painting, his cost WENT up 40%. With the carpentry, it would have gone up even more. When I asked him why the big price increase, he didn't have a good reason. I asked him if he could get his cost down. He said he would cover the paint costs, and that I could change some materials and get rid of the mud room foundation, which would knock the costs down about 6-8%. In summary, this was a very frustrating experience. *In Eric's first quote, he wrote, "Having examined the drawings and the site for the project I hereby propose to furnish all labor, material, equipment, service and incidentals necessary to perform and complete the work for the project according to the drawings provided by (architect), dated 10/26/2016 (permit) and per Trade Descriptions outlined below. To be fair, I told Eric that I was thinking about doing the trim for our project to save money, and I may have another contractor do the electrical. It is possible that he misunderstood me and thought that I didn't want those costs included in his response; however, it is doubtful. Even so, his cost went up at a minimum 25%. I asked Eric for a refund. He would not give it.

In the end, an estimated 3-4 months project was barely completed in 12 months, which means I had to live on a "construction site" for a year! Even with the long delay, the tile work and the floor project were still less than satisfactory. When doing the floor project, JFI even damaged my carpet because of improper method used. Finally the customer care was close to none. I had really bad experience when dealing with them on the unquoted and unreasonable rework charges. So if you ever decide to use JFI, my recommendation is to require a pre-approval on any extra charges.
