Noticed a steep decline in customer service and performance over the years from this once esteemed local contractor. In the latest of failures, my mom got Jabs to paint her back porch cement floor a year ago - they did so during the rain at 50 degrees - and you can see the results in the pictures. Are you kidding me? Are these "professional" painters? On top of it all, when my mom called to complain and ask them to fix it, Jabs told her no (and was rather rude about it). Do yourself a favor: use an actual professional contractor even if it costs a little more. Jabs ain't worth it. read more

Jabs Construction did a roof conversion (flat roof to pitched roof), and so far everything seems to be good. No obvious leaks, and it looks nicer than I was expecting. They also did some siding work for me (after I was screwed over my another company), and that looks great at well. I think the best thing about Jabs is that they don't seem like they have much patience for messing around. They are straightforward, honest, and just want to get the job right the first time. They pulled permits (I have had issues with permits not being actually pulled before) and kept me in the loop if there were any issues along the way. They even answered my really stupid, paranoid questions. I would definitely use them again. read more

This is a review based on electrical work Jabs did for me. The main problem is that the finished work came in over 50% higher than the initial estimate, and I was never notified about this prior to receiving the final bill! The work itself was done well, by all accounts. And the initial contract had a clause that mentioned if certain specified extra work needed to be done, that cost would be added on. HOWEVER, I was specifically told by the electrician that he didn't anticipate much of that extra work needing to be done, and this was after he had inspected things on-site. I understand unforeseen problems come up, but that should have been discussed with me prior to so much additional work being done. We're talking an increase of $1,700 on an estimate that was less than $3,000. That's an unprofessional and questionably ethical way to conduct a business. Also, while Darren the main electrician was personable and easy to deal with (outside of the contradiction in what I was initially told vs what wound up being done), a helper that came with him one day was not. The helper was rude and put a wet, dripping cup on an obviously freshly painted surface, and begrudgingly moved it when I pointed this out to him. read more

I requested a quote. Then I took off work and spent time walking through the project . 6 months later and they still haven't provided one. I politely request the quote once per month. Save yourself the trouble and move on to a professionally ran business. To date I still have received no quote. read more

Rude, obnoxious and uncaring. Think they know better than the customer. Did a measure for a bath remodel. Finally wrote a proposal over three weeks after the measure, and only because I called to find out what is the delay. Proposal contained NONE of my design specifications. Fired them on the spot for their attitude. read more

Used Jabs for a pretty significant drywall repair, after we had water damage and plumbing repairs, including a pretty big hole in our ceiling. Tim was professional and courteous, talked through options, and wrote out a proposal that was flexible enough for us to decide how much work we wanted them to do. They executed the work according to schedule, and their office staff was always prompt and courteous when we had questions. Completed the job according to the final proposal - and even did a little extra touch-ups on the drywall that they didn't have to do. Very happy with the results and the customer service. read more

Called the folks at Jabs after a friend recommended them to help with some siding repair at my folks place in Manassas. Their staff was very friendly and had a representative come on out to the house to take a look. We had been having some issues after a thunderstorm last season with the siding near the attic. They took a look, and decided to come back with some materials they had the next day. Spot was fixed perfectly and looks original to the house. Glad I called. Hopefully nothing else will need fixing for a while, but if it does I will happily reach out to them again. read more

Jabs Construction is the only company that I trust with my home improvement needs. They have excellent customer service and their quality of work is unmatched. They recently renovated my powder room and installed a backsplash in my kitchen. The workmanship and attention to detail exceeded any expectations that I had, just beautiful work. They began and finished on time as promised and the cost was exactly what they said it would be. Just awesome people to work with from beginning to end. read more

Excellent repair work done on 3 bathrooms in my home. Replaced tiles on walls and floors. Completed in 2 weeks with minimal inconvenience. Very friendly and very professional! Definitely will use again. read more

Jabs did another fantastic job on time and on budget and were extremely courteous. I called to have rotted 6X6 support posts replaced. These posts were holding up a very heavy pavilion. They were out right away and provided a timely estimate that was much more reasonable than other estimates I had. They provided great ideas for replacing the posts and ensuring the pavilion met local codes. Removing the old posts and replacing them was going to be tricky because of the way I built the pavilion. I expected them to have to cut back some supporting beams to get the new posts back into place but when they finished the new posts were back EXACTLY like the original posts. Jabs also recently remodeled our two bathrooms. What a great job and experience! We gave a lot of thought to how we wanted our bathrooms. Jabs quoted us a great price and were very courteous and helpful. We sat down with Jabs' designer who listened carefully to what we wanted, provided his suggestions, and pointed out some potential downsides to some of our ideas. He provided great ideas for construction/materials we didn't think of and in the end we agreed with Mr. Jabs' recommendations. The job was started and completed on time and the workers couldn't have been more courteous and the job site was spotless when they finished. Our bathrooms turned out way better than we could have ever expected. These folks are great! read more

We contacted this unprofessional business for a remodel quote and when the representative showed up, his exact words were, "If I would have known it was you, I wouldn't have come. You're wasting my time." Apparently being a Veteran, serving your country in combat, being disabled, and trying to have work done on a VA grant is a waste of their time. He was VERY rude, arrogant, disrespectful and highly unprofessional. If you're a Veteran or disabled Veteran, do not waste YOUR time being insulted by this company. It's a disgrace and disgusting to be humiliated in your own home. We would not recommend this company to ANYONE, Veteran or civilian, for ANY project. read more
