One day in the fall of 2020, while walking across our porch, my husband's foot punched through a…read morespot of rotted wood. We promptly decided it was time to have it replaced...better than ever before! We got a couple bids for the job. But Charles really stood out because: 1. After walking the job, he promptly sent a detailed bid and CAD drawing. We refined the scope several times and every time he would promptly refine the quote and redo the CAD drawing. Very good follow through. Not pushy, just responsive. 2. He had a large book of color photographs of his work that helped us choose finishes and make design decisions. He has done a TON of patios and pergolas in different styles. I love this book because there are a lot of decisions to make -- it's easier to point to the picture you like more vs. having to imagine if you want feature A or B. In terms of price, Charles was in the middle -- not the highest bid and not the lowest. But we got the best feeling from him, and that's what is important to me. We redid our kitchen two years ago and our general contractor (not Charles, obviously), fled the country in the middle of the job after a progress payment! Yikes, bad memories. I am very happy with how my patio and pergola turned out; we seriously live outside now. We have a plexiglass cover (to protect from rain) and fans (to help somewhat with the Texas heat). Charles and his crew were great overall. Pluses: - They only do outdoor patios and pergolas. This is what they are good at and they are fast. - Charles was here a lot, especially at first to get the job started. He didn't just oversee progress, he was out there working and sweating with his men. - Charles helped to perfect the design while the job was in progress. He had his wife paint several different colors of grey stain onto sample boards so we could choose the right one. We spent a few hours perfecting the brick pattern on the columns. He wanted us to be happy with the final outcome. - Flexible with changes with very few change orders. I must have added 10 electrical outlets...didn't get a bill for it. So unusual for a GC. - Open to feedback when we felt like something wasn't perfect. Because they were outside my kitchen window, I would do dishes and watch progress unfold. And let him know when I didn't like something. Absolutely never got push back from him. He would call his crew or come by and fix it immediately. - Follow through has been great. Even after we were all paid up, he sent over a crew a couple times because rain was getting through my plexiglass cover. Again, so unusual for a GC. Minuses: - I wish they would broaden their scope from just outdoor patios and pergolas to other things. I have a bathroom I would love for them to remodel. Ah well. Anyway, check out the pictures. One of the prettiest patios and pergolas I have ever seen, and I'm lucky enough to have it in my backyard.

Please take notice as the gate lock picture reveals that our lock was clearly filled in and packed…read moredown with concrete. We found it after Jose finished and was gone. He did not lock our gate when he left...as it was locked before he started the work. Was he trying to keep us from securely locking our gate or trying to trick us in some way? He got some views of the inside of our home (while he was working). Why did he pack our privacy lock with concrete? We kept the damaged lock in case there's a break in. We would show police. This is Texas, so I don't recommend breaking into any homes. We had to beef up our security after this violation of trust. It would take me too long to go over each deceptive reply Jose made. I will cover a few. He has more to gain by telling a lie than I do. We needed a fence put in fast, so we ate his price hikes to get the job done. The former fence was on the ground in pieces (from a storm) and we needed it replaced for safety reasons. He took advantage which would not have bothered us if he did not become creepy toward the end of the job. He knows what he did and I know what he did. I only hope the folks on here will be aware of his deception...so no one is taken by JJ Construction. Jose did not offer, at any time, to replace the lock. Plus, we would not trust him to have the integrity NOT to keep a spare key. How foolish would we be...trusting Jose to provide a new lock for our privacy fencing? Our first lock worked great when we let Jose in and out...before work began. No concrete in the hole. Jose says he no longer works with his dad...as former reviews detail. So, those reviews are not as relevant since Jose works alone. Jose also told me the day before we began work that he needed us to pay 100% up front! We declined and it made us wonder if he didn't have the capitol to buy the supplies and this is a huge red flag. Jose stood in our backyard and told me he lives in Humble, TX (off of 1960). But Jose's contract shows a huge apartment complex at 3409 Brinkman St. Houston, TX 77018 (no apartment number provided). Please see attached and see a different location for JJ Construction (according to my research). He now claims his name is Jose A. Rangel and he was named after his dad. I do find a Jose A. Rangel in Humble and at a different address (see below). His reputation is not good...if this is him. One more address is a small home in Conroe. I have these addresses but don't feel right about posting publicly. Do your research and not trusting only reviews. I use my middle name and maiden name on some public forums because my first name is very unusual and people might easily recognize it. I also like anonymity for safety reasons. This is common practice. Jose (who never gave his real last name and gives a fake address) made a point of using my legal name, up front, on his reply. Jose hides his true identity but publicly reveals mine (a private citizen and not a business) without my consent. This further reveals what kind of person he is. Please do your own research before hiring Jose (with no last name). He might do the high-priced work, or he might rip you off. He might even try to break into your home after he leaves your gate vulnerable. Why take chances? Some sons are not as reputable as their father. It's a shame. I would not use him or recommend him no matter what. He ultimately gives me the feeling of a potential scammer. He ended our job with some serious creepy vibes when I asked him about why our gate lock was filling with pressed down concrete. He denied doing it but come on. No one else was here. Jose did reply to my calls until I paid him in full. We discovered a few issues with our gate (only days later). After he was paid, he let those calls go to VM. He didn't fix the gate to our satisfaction. He also tried to leave a huge gap in the gate opening and it not only looked bad and would be easier to breach, but it was against Harris County code for easier access to the latch. Jose muddies the water with figures about the code. But Jose never knew there was a code until I told him. This is what he confessed to me. If you hire him then my advice is to get a copy of his ID and take a picture of his vehicle license plate. I did the latter but not the former. Jose will also try to cut corners if you don't outline everything to be done correctly and also check his work...so the fence doesn't fall over in a few years...even if it looks good at first. Also, I could not verify his W9. Maybe you can verify it. Be sure to check the legitimacy of his insurance too. Hope you find a skilled and trustworthy fence contractor who provides you with a genuine last name and real address. Jose "thanked" me for my unfavorable review? That's odd. He should just own up to what he did or perhaps what he may have tried to do and stop playing games. Thanks for this opportunity to alert others.

Built fence & deck. Meticulous, perfection-driven, obsessed with details, hard workers, fast…read more This is a family business, with dad and two young adult sons doing the hard labor, and mom handling the business end. I have what you could call a "special needs" fence, deck, and yard. Electrical lights and outlets on the fence posts, an extra wide gate in the rear for bringing in a washing machine one day, removeable deck panel for access to AC lines, wanted the deck built on concrete blocks instead of chopping post holes into my driveway and live oak tree roots, pet turtles in the yard, and a koi pond that it was essential to not disturb the filter or plumbing or connections. Other companies didn't understand what I was needing, argued with me, or didn't speak English. But all DWS said was: Yes, yes, yes. My experience with contractors is that they're bulldozers, and I fully expected my yard and items to be trashed. Not with DWS. They carefully removed the electrical and then replaced it on the new fence posts - everything works. I had cleared the space as well as possible, but there were still items they had to move. All my garden décor, windchimes, turtle pen, etc. were preserved and neatly set where I could find them. Best of all, there was no damage to the pond, plumbing, or garden. They even did some "extra" things, like haul off pots that were too heavy for me, and trim a few branches on a baby tree. They didn't start too early (no morning noise to bother neighbors), and they wrapped up mid-afternoon. They use quick-set cement, so they can dig a post hole, erect the post, and then add rails and pickets all on the same day. They worked incredibly hard in July heat, and finished job a day early. Cleaned the driveway, sidewalk, and yard of all debris. A few things should have been hashed out better ahead of time. Type of gate hardware and locks, pergola / shade cover, retaining wall, moved the fenceline in 6" (made my yard smaller), cutting a limb off my precious live oak tree. Luckily, some of these were discussed the day before install, and were able to make last minute changes, with price adjustments where appropriate. The price for about 100' of cedar fencing and two modest decks was a gasp moment - but in line with other companies. The 50% deposit was daunting, esp for an outfit I knew nothing about, but it's in line with industry standards. Plus, they didn't ask for it until the week before install. Easy on-line pay, good communicators. The finished fence is sturdy, beautiful, and pickets all straight along the top. They hide the gate hinges for a neat look. Decks are exactly what I asked for. As an example of detail, a portion of my deck goes around the oak tree. Instead of cutting a circle out of the deck to accommodate the tree trunk, they cut the boards into pie slice-shaped wedges, so the boards fit around the tree like a pinwheel. ! This had to take amazing engineering, measuring, and cutting. Folks, there was no need to do this. This is a small deck in the back of the yard that's going to be covered with lawn chairs and potted plants and no one will ever see (except me). I can only think they did this out of obsession with detail, and had fun with the math and logistics. When they left, Dan shook my hand and told me he offers a 150% guarantee. Indeed, as the summer went on and lack of rain caused the fenceposts to shift and the gate started sticking, they came back twice to make adjustments. There's more good stuff to tell, but I'm hitting the word limit. Bottom line, I couldn't be more pleased with the people, quality, workmanship, and professionalism. You will be, too.
