I came in here today and created this account t just to make sure and warn everyone! I'm more what…read moremade me think of this today of all days, but I just could,t hold it in any longer. So first review, but it's a big one! Ray at R&J Construction is an absolute garbage human being! I saw recently on his website that he used my job as a positive review, but actually just lists what the job was and nothing from me at all! Which makes sense as he was a terrible human being and HAD he asked me for input he wouldn't have been very happy with the outcome, and you just kept on he isn't going to include that info! Hahaha! I was excited as he was able to come in under the bid, but let me just say, you get what you pay for. That's all I can really say in that regard. But let me tell you, he is the type of man who must feel very very small on the inside because he likes to talk tough and make himself LOOK big on the outside. He is frequently rude to employees and support staff. I caught him on more than one occasion berating his workers loudly and seemingly for no reason at all! He loves to tell them that he is PAYING THEM and so he can do what he wants! Frequently gaslighting, minimizing and denying all of the people around him! He is an entitled man-child who makes himself feel better by belitteling everyone around him! Now in regards to his work, as I stated you get what you paid for as he did come in under budget and time for me, but that is where the pleasent surprises end! As you can see on his site it says it was a demo job preparing for some new driveways, curbs, etc... he did the demo, but we didn't even contract him for the rest after the ordeal we went through with him. He just argued with everyone at every opportunity, I even heard him tell a staff member something like, I pay YOU for this job so YOU need to be doing this! Or something to that effect, like a toddler screaming about his friends not wanting to play the game HIS way! I am betting he is the type to snap at wait staff and berate tech support all while refusing to participate in the process of making his request a reality! Just goes around demanding everyone and everything does exactly what he wants at all times! Many of his workers were delightful, and we're clearly just there to collect a paycheck, keep their heads down, and not make waves. So please do yourselves a favor and walk right past this narcissist playing at being a big boy! It's just not worth the hassle to save a few bucks! Besides, you really want some quality and even just the demo was bad! They left a lot of garbage and debris behind when they left, and isn't the poi t of hiring someone for this work to have THEM be the ones to clean it up!! OK, I have gone gone on long enough! Bless you all, and good luck dealing with Ray if you move forward with R&J Construction after all! And don't say I didn't warn you!

We do not recommend this company. Employee lacked professionalism and quality work. We had part of…read moreour plaster ceiling replaced due to cracking. First, we were told that the project would take 3 days. When the project started, the employee said he was not given any information about the project. He brought no tools and asked to borrow our hammer, step stool, ladder, and broom. We explained what needed done, expecting some of the ceiling to be replaced. He said he would be in and out in one day. Once he started tearing out the ceiling it was clear that the project was not 1/4 of the ceiling but 1/2. Even then, he explained he used fast drying materials, etc, and would probably by out in 2 days. We prepared for a 4 day project just in case and scheduled cleaners/movers for later in the week. The project took 7 days. He arrived late, up to 2 hours, did not always tell us when he would/wouldn't be there. He would come for an hour, leave for several and then come back for a short time. My wife asked at some point how long he'd be gone because she needed to run to the store. He said he would be back quickly, was running to Wendy's but showed up two hours later. He was not prepared with equipment, and kept referencing another job he was doing down the street. He was put off when my wife asked him to bring his own broom and step stool as it was clear ours would get ruined in the mess. He later told me my wife was "difficult". Totally unprofessional. We were so frustrated by that point, on day 3 we spoke to the owner, who really did not listen to my concerns, just kept repeating that sometimes jobs take longer than expected. On day one he knew the scope of the work, The painting job was horrible. Several times I pointed out how there was paint from the ceiling on our walls (which didn't match) as well as poor coverage of ceiling paint in the corners of the ceiling. Some of it got fixed but then I had to show him again areas that were messy. Having to tell him and his sidekick how to paint correctly is just unacceptable. He later said he thought I was going to touch up the paint. When reinstalling our ceiling fan they could not figure out why it wasn't working. This is a year old fan that the contractor knew worked when they initially took it down. This was also day 5 and the "ceiling fan guy" could not figure out why the ceiling fan wouldn't work after installation. The painting still looked awful which I communicated to them. They tried to find an electrician, even asking me if I knew of someone. The owner explained the project would be delayed until they could find someone to fix the fan. He also asked me if I could go ahead and pay for the project. I said no, I'd pay when the job was completed. Two days later (Sunday) an electrician came and ended up replacing the receiver and remote, using one that did not have the settings our original one had (three speeds for the fan) so we now have a fan that just works on high, with no way to adjust it. Had we known this was the problem and they were going to go out and buy one we would've paid to have one that matched the fan. Now we've had to repurchase a receiver that matches the fan and have it reinstalled. At the end of the job we were not completely satisfied but needed these people out of our house. They did not clean up completely, left spots of paint on the hardwood floors, construction dust on our baseboards, ruined one of the screens in our window, left drips of paint on our walls, left dirty rags and garbage. Honestly, I don't even think the drywall installation on our ceiling looks great. You can clearly see lines where the drywall was installed. We are happy that our issue is "fixed" and we are safe from our ceiling caving in but we are not happy with the cosmetic flaws and the entire process. We will never use this company again.

You are probably worried about two things right now if you are reading this review... first, you…read moreare worried you may have some kind of mold or water problem. Secondly, you are probably worried a professional coming in to "help you" will also be taking advantage of your situation to maximize their profit. We had a fantastic experience with Nick Alley from Dry Effect. He came in, gave a very thorough investigation, taught us a bunch about what to look for and how to prevent future issues. He gave us great options for both professional and home remediation approaches, and the pros and cons of each. Nick went way above and beyond helping diagnose one of the problems we found that looked like a water/mold issue, but that was actually unrelated. Something that they wouldn't make a penny on from fixing. We have since chased it down, and he was spot on with his diagnosis. It felt like a real partnership with a company I could trust. I am sorry if you need them, and I hope I never need them again. But if I do, I won't hesitate for a *second* to call them back in.
