Jair and his team did an excellent job n my bathroom remodel. My remodel was unplanned due to a water leak behind the shower wall, so I used the opportunity to do a full remodel, and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Jair guided me through selection of materials as well giving me good design input. His team worked hard every day (including 2 weekends) to complete their high quality workmanship in 10 days. When i needed the (very fair priced) invoice revised with more detail for insurance purposes, Jair gladly did so. 2 times! I highly recommend Friends and Brothers and plan on using them for my next project: a kitchen remodel. read more

Jair López Lic. 1055027 Jair helped me with my failed DIY. My closet needed more hanging space and I tired to do it myself but i failed. Jair was so kind to help me repair the soccer ball size hole I made in my closet. He also helped me put up the hanging racks that I failed to install myself. He is genuine, fast, clean and trust worthy. I will recommend Jair to all my friends and family. read more

We had a leak in the shower niche that caused wall and floor damage to the closet on the other side. We hired Jair to demo the shower tiles, waterproof, new tile and fixtures in shower, install shower door and repair the closet wall. Jair and his worker Ramon did a great job with demo. Covered the floor walkways. They repaired the damaged studs. Waterproofed the shower and did a nice job on the tile. They fixed the back closet wall and installed the shower door. There was a little issue with the install of the faucet and valve, but they took care of that. They were nice guys and easy to work with. Very reliable and honest. They cleaned up when they left and we are very happy with the results. We love our new shower. We would definitely hire them again. read more

BEWARE (read the full review, its long but might save you from the headache we had.) We had a hot water tank with a slow not so visible leak which resulted in major damage to our garage, hallway, half bath and kitchen, Jair and his company was recommended by the remediation company and because of life i didn't do a review check of his company before hand. Below is the breakdown of the job Drywall - Jair and his team did an okay job with installing the new drywall Wall texture - his worker didn't put down enough drop cloth or plastic and got the texture on some of my personal stuff, I know this stuff comes off easy but still Half Bath - we decided to take this time to do some updates/ upgrades and chose to go from a pedestal sink with no storage to a vanity with storage and a new sink, when the new vanity was installed the sink was put on in a way that left a huge gap along the wall, when i approached Jair about this he tried to show me the wall was not plumb witch wasn't true, he then tried to show me that the corner was not square but that was also not true, the issue was his worker was simply unqualified and couldn't get the sink to sit correctly, this was corrected when he brought another person to work on the job, they were able to get the sink to sit correctly. Jair installed the baseboards himself but decided to leave a whole under the valve for the toilet down to the floor, I had to ask him to fix that which required the baseboard behind the toilet to be removed. Painting in the bathroom was also left unfinished as Jair was paid to paint the walls and ceiling but only painted the walls leaving about a 1 inch strip unpainted on the tops of the walls Kitchen - this is where a majority of the issues came about. Jair again had a guy building the the boxes for the cabinets that seemed like this was their first time building cabinets, there were significant gaps between the panels and some boxes didn't seem to be square, Jair replaced that person and the new person had to rebuild all the wall boxes which added time to the job. This is about the time that my confidence in Jair hit its low. Jair approached me several times asking how things needed to be done even though he had pictures of the original cabinets and he new we wanted them to look the same, Jair also made a huge mistake when it came to the new countertops, when we purchased the vanity for the bathroom we also purchased a new kitchen sink, when he had the countertop company come measure he told them we where using the old since, which I had already told him that we would be replacing the sink. During the consultation it was pointed out that two of the face frames where missing or damaged and Jair said he would have to repair or remake them, which i agreed to, after all of the cabinets where built and where about 90% complete Jair said that he had done work that was not included in the original quote to the insurance company and would need to get paid for that work, when Jair sent his additional quote to the insurance he stated that he remade all of the face frames, which was not true at all and was asking for an additional 16k, this request resulted in a 3 week stoppage to work and the insurance company to send out a cabinet company to get a quote on the job from start to finish. Jair also refused to come back and at least complete the jobs that he was already paid for (painting walls in the hallway, the ceiling in the half bath and painting in the kitchen) could have all been completed while we waited for the insurance company but Jair world not come back. Once additional money was approved (not 16k) Jair still tried to get more money for work that he had not completed which forced be to terminate his services and have another contractor complete the remaining work. Although another company completed the work my headache was not over with Jair, since this job was paid for by my homeowners insurance i needed a final receipt, after asking for several days Jair finally sent it but it was full of inaccuracies, Jair attempted to list a $535 saw and had several different drawer slides listed, as well as faucet supply lines, among other items, after confronting Jair with this information he became combative on the phone and tried to say that the law allowed him to purchase the saw and charge it to me and that some of the slides where purchased and returned, when asked if the items where returned then why where they on the itemized receipt he said because he was showing me what he purchased for the job. Jair consistently left my house dirty at the end of the day and would leave my doors open, also he would show up an hour or so later than the time he would tell us the day prior. Please beware of Jair and Friends & Brothers construction inc, he is a money hungry contractor that tries to cut corners to just get the job done read more

Be very careful of this company, the owner (jay) has very limited experience in the industry, his inexperience is evident in his quality of work and the way he manages his work and his team. He will continue to change prices on you once the price is agreed upon. His entire team changed more than 1/2 dozen times directly impacting not only time spent on the project but also budget. His crew kept leaving him and he constantly had to look for new people to help him. This changed the daily price he had to pay them, hence he decided to change the price on us. In the end, instead of honoring the prices, he took our deposit, never completed the project, and then decided to never call us back. Extremely disappointing. read more
