Highly recommend Oneil Kennedy and his team. I took a gamble and based on the reviews, gave him a cold call. He did a virtual consultation an hour after I called and he sent me a reasonable quote a day after. The following day he did a walk through. After 6 days, (not including wait time for my tiles to arrive), I have 2 bathrooms and one powder room updated! Even when we ran into some issues (a couple more leaks, plumbing issues, some mold), Kennedy stayed true to the quote he provided me. He and his team were meticulous. Very happy with his work. It's so hard to find an honest, reliable, available contractor here in Westchester who's not going to charge you for every little thing. I feel so fortunate finding him. I already have more work lined up .:) read more

I never used them for a job... but the spent all afternoon showing me what great products they put on my roof. I would have gone with them except I could not afford the job. But they really seem to know what they were doing...! Nice to talk to read more

JJK Contracting - If you need a new roof they have top quality matériels to make sure the job last a long time and trained by Owen Corning company. - General Contractors Near Me - East Bronx, New York

Had my bathroom fully renovated with some additional tile work in the kitchen, and painting. We were given a quote quickly after the initial walkthrough and work was completed in just a few weeks! Kennedy and his team complied with all the building's rules and really did some great, neat work. Communication was clear the entire time and he made sure to ask all the right questions. Definitely recommend this company for all kinds of renovations. read more

A little back story - I am a new "home" owner and I am so so grateful I found JJK Contracting. I had a different contractor to work on my floors before JJK contracting, they went through the whole board approvals with me only to ghost me afterwards. I spent days / weeks chasing this other contractor to keep me posted and get me the info I needed and for them to disappear was disheartening, they really set me back on my renovations. When I messaged JJK Contracting - I felt like such a priority! They have a clean and great communication system, I never felt ignored. I really appreciated how Kennedy and Oliver communicated with me every step of the way in terms of refinishing my floors. They answered all my questions (and as someone who is super new to all of this) they never made me feel dumb asking what I wanted to ask. They exceeded my expectations in so many ways! They worked very quickly on my floors and was respectful to me and my space. They completed the task in two weeks (and that includes board approval time) which got me slightly back to speed on where I wanted to be in my renovations so I super appreciate that! I also thought a final visit / walk through of the space to ensure the quality of the work that was done, I haven't seen that before and thought it was awesome! Work that was done: I had my floors refinished, with a golden brown stain and a satin finish. Bonus : When I saw some bubbles on one of my floors, they came to fix that which was an above and beyond move to me. All in all - the team that works here is stellar and I would 10/10 recommend them to anyone I know and will consider them for future projects I have hands down. If you need anything done to your space to look fantastic, do not hesitate to reach out to JJK Contracting! read more

Don't get near them. They are useless and they do not reply. I hired them to repair my sidewalk in Harlem. A job that does not require the finest skills... Oneil Kennedy said he knew how to do it. He did it and we got fined by the city because the repair was so bad... He did not replace the whole flag but stopped half way. Look at the picture of his curious manner to cut a flag in two... He did not reply when I requested him to come and fix it. Before I realized that he was crap, I asked him to budget for another job. He took a long time and finally forwarded a budget with chapters, but the chapters were empty: He just looked at the job and gave an overall estimate with zero detail. When I requested a proper breakdown he just disappeared and never came back. If he can't fix a sidewalk, imagine what he could do with your delicate carpentry work. Stay away from them. Totally unprofessional. read more

We hired Kenney for a couple of minor upgrades around the apartment (installing hanging microwave and new bathroom vanity). I would say the experience was pretty seamless from beginning to end and the pricing was more than fair. After the installations were complete and we were all paid up we ran into a couple of minor snags, and Kennedy came back to fix them at no additional cost. Overall, I would highly recommend this service. Kennedy is professional, dependable and honest. read more

JJK has been fantastic start to finish. They're reasonably priced, fast and easy to work with. I worked with them August-September 2022 for a complete bathroom renovation + finishing of oddly shaped attic closets. I will hopefully use them for additional projects in the coming months. Each member of the team has a lot of integrity and shows a lot of pride in their work. Kennedy is wonderful to work with and would check in with me regularly to ensure I was happy with progress. When there were things I had questions about, he was prompt in responding and made great suggestions. The whole team consistently treated my space with respect and care. I don't know what exactly I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting to completely stay on budget and timeline which it did. The final space came out better than I imagined. Could not recommend them more. Sharing some before/after photos. read more

I contacted the company for a major renovation of my coop in Morningside Heights. I arranged for Kennedy, who I believe is the owner of this contractor, to come out to see the 1000 square foot apartment. It took me about an hour to get there, as the coop is currently empty and I live elsewhere. He showed up on time and we talked about the work I wanted done. He told me he'd get me an offer for the renovation in about a week. That was over a month ago. Despite sending him several emails and a few texts I have heard next to nothing from him. To my text "Nice to meet with you" I got a text "Why aren't you in the butt workout every 61 Ciara," which my phone told me was created with Siri. Other than that nothing. Perhaps he noticed that I already had received a bid and he realized he'd have to put in an affordable bid to get the job. Maybe he decided he just wants to pursue more profitable jobs. Anyway, he wasted about two hours of my life. read more

Could have been a bit more responsive in the beginning but they did a good job at a fair price. After all was said and done I would recommend them and use them again. I just needed tile placed on one wall of my bathroom behind a freestanding tub. I bought the tile myself and just needed it installed. Other contractors wanted to charge me a price that seemed more appropriate for a full bathroom. I took one star off because of the responsiveness in the beginning and because they said they would come back to paint the wall above the tile but did not. read more

Very responsive and pleasant. We are proceeding with the job. It is a kitchen floor regrout.

I called JJK Contracting and Oniell was the best from start to finish. In preparation for a new tenant, the apartment had to be redone within a month's time. Everything came out great. There were a few bumps in the road as new repairs needed to be done but him and his crew was on point with patience and professionalism. They were on time and made sure the place was cleaned after each day. We, initially, needed a bathroom redone from the beams in preparation for a new tenant. It started out with the bathroom, then My Drama (name of my house) had other plans. The kitchen cabinets needed to be replaced, hallway and living room floors needed to be restained and bedroom French doors need to be replaced. As a rental property owner, I have put Oniell's number on speed dial. He is thorough, reasonable and listens to the client's ideas and concerns. read more

I found JJK on Yelp. (Thanks Yelp!) I needed a serious bathroom facelift. My bathroom though cute, wasn't practical. I had a huge shelf over the sink which made it difficult to use the sink. I also felt it needed some life. I contacted JJK. Oneal came and gave me an estimate. I shopped around but was eventually convinced from pictures. They were very professional, safe, understanding, accepted concerns and gave suggestions. Above all precise and fast. It was a 2 day job!!!! It never felt rushed but thorough read more

This review is for JJK Contracting's communication given I did not proceed with the project for personal reasons. Folks here are great, I called for an onsite visit and Oniell was able to stop by within 2 days and provided a very detailed quote on the project. The thoroughness was much appreciated as it gives both sides full transparency. The fact that JJK carries insurance is a plus given most smaller size contractors may not have it. read more

This is my second time using JJK Contracting for a home improvement project. First job was installing baseboards. Small job, but great results. This recent job was a full bathroom renovation, large job but the results were just as great. Owner, O'Neil Kennedy, is as professional as they come. Competitive pricing. Patient and knowledgeable. Arrived on time and even worked on the weekend to get the job done faster. I highly recommend JJK for all of your home renovation and remodel needs. I plan on contacting him for future home improvememt needs. read more

I worked with Oneil on a full bathroom renovation and would highly recommend his team. Oneil communicated quickly and clearly over email and text, showed up early or on time for all appointments regarding estimates or job details and was transparent and flexible about process and pricing. Oneil and his team also thoroughly observed all of the construction guidelines in my co-op building. We'll be calling him for additional work! read more

I called JJK contracting for a estimate. O'Neil came out looked at the job, and told me that he would send me a quote. He never sent the quote the time he mentioned. I followed up with him to remind him that I was waiting on a price for him, he told me that he went out of the state on the weekend, and promised that he would send it a few days later. It's been two months now, and still no quote from O'Neil. He's very unprofessional, and I'm glad he showed me his lack of professionalism at the start. Updated response from the owner O'Neil who claims to be a professional. From his response you can see how much of a novice he is to customer service which is the pinnacle to a successful business. read more

JJK Contracting - Response from a novice business person. - General Contractors Near Me - East Bronx, New York

Really happy with my recent work with JJK! I had a leak in my bathroom and JJK was able to fully repair and repaint the wall, perfectly matching my old color. They were also incredibly professional and responsive throughout the process and very flexible to work with me. They were available to get to work really fast too, which was great. read more

I was afraid of the hassle of having painters in the house so I put off many projects however, these gentleman really did a great job of being tidy and thoughtful. Oneil came out and did all the measurements. He's the only company that came out and provided a quote based on real measurements and gave honest advice. JJK Contracting did an amazing job and was extremely professional. I highly recommend this company for all of your painting needs read more

Kennedy is very professional, punctual, and reliable. He did tile installation in the kitchen for our apartment. Kennedy was nice enough to work with our schedule, he came after his business hours which we were super grateful for. Unfortunately, he had to move everything out of the kitchen himself because us girls couldn't do it. We also thought we bought enough tiles and we didn't, Kennedy had went out and purchased more to complete the job that night. We couldn't thank him enough. I would definitely hire him again and also refer him to others. Keep up the good work! read more

Arrived on time everyday, said it'd be two days and it was. For both jobs. Integrity, respectful, friendly. Went the extra mile.

We hired Oneil to renovate our kitchen, and we would hire him again in a heartbeat! From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and reliable. He worked quickly and completed all tasks within the time frame he originally gave us, which was incredible. We hired him to redo our floors, demolishing the existing floor and laying new cork tiles (which he did a beautiful job of!) He also created an enclosure for an exposed heat pipe in our kitchen, which finishes the look. He installed our new cabinets, preparing them to intersect with water pipes so there would be no conflict. He plastered and painted with exquisite expertise. The electrician and plumber he worked with were also professional, capable, and reliable. Throughout the process, Oneil asked us questions to be certain of our preferences and gave us his professional recommendations when we needed help, which was hugely useful, as we had never undertaken such a task before. We had been a little nervous about the whole renovation process, but Oneil was so trustworthy and supportive that we learned that, with him as our contractor, we really had nothing to worry about. Upon completing the project, Oneil even waxed our new floors and gifted us an excellent product that we can continue to use. We can't wait to hire him for further renovation projects, as working with him made the entire process much easier than we anticipated. read more

This is a bit late but I scheduled an estimate walk with O'Neil in Feb 2022. The scheduling with his team started out being responsive but in day of appt I had to call them 2x to ensure he was coming b/c he was late with no heads up. When he arrived we walked my kitchen which I explained all of the things I wanted but I mentioned that I wanted to do it as reasonably priced as possible since it's a rental unit. I guess he didn't like that b/c he never sent a proposal but said he would. He also tried to talk me out of relocating the sink in the kitchen saying it may be too difficult? I'm getting the work done with another GC and relocating the sink was very easy. He's got good reviews but if he didn't want the job he should have said so before he left. Communication is key. read more

Peloton came to pick up the treadmill which was killing people and broke the marble saddle on the staircase. They advised me to find a contractor in 5 days and get an invoice. JJK did a virtual call and met the expectations. As of right now, the work has not started but so far they have been great. read more

Jjk provide professionalism and great services. Kennedy is very knowledgeable, attention to details and incredibly responsive. Jjk did a wonderful job by adding the finishing touches to my kitchen countertops and patching few holes in the walls. The job took less time than expected and the end results was everything and more than I was hoping for! This is an excellent company and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Jjk... read more

Throughly enjoyed my experience with JJK Contracting! They were very prompt and timely throughout the whole process, from the initial contact, to the estimate, to the day of the job. They provided a free estimate and examination of the work needed, and were very helpful along the way with sourcing the needed materials. The tiles they replaced in our apartment were well done and helped us so much. I would highly recommend their services! Such a great team! read more

Kennedy and his team did an amazing job re-staining our floors! He responded promptly to all of my questions, he carefully explained every step of the process, and I got a detailed estimate quickly. His team got the job finished way faster than I thought, which is especially amazing because we had some large furniture that we couldn't move out of our apartment. We also had them rip out our kitchen and match that floor with the rest of the hardwood. It is seamless now and makes the whole place feel bigger-anyone with an apartment in NYC knows how valuable this is! They handled all of this for us. Not only was the job itself beautiful, but they left the place very clean and free of sawdust! I was so happy with how it turned out-brightening up our floors was definitely the way to go in our dimly lit apartment, and this team pulled it off very well. read more

From start to finish, I will say my experience with JJK was exceptional! We had delays (due to another vendor, not related) and Kennedy and his team were awesome through that. This is NOT the contractor who will take your money and run! Kennedy from when I spoke to the receptionist for the estimate appointment until the final time he left my property was phenomenal. We began with a kitchen renovation. In 3 days, the guys transformed my space completely! I eventually asked them to stay on to help re-do my two bathrooms, because their work was amazing! They did a little bit of everything. Ripping down walls, floors, adding electrical, added an island, cabinetry, tiles, a new tub, changed plumbing, painting, added water lines for a new fridge and dishwasher. The guys were extremely careful with my newly refinished floors and cleaned up after a days work. All materials that hung around from one day to the next were neatly and safely stored. I was in constant contact with Kennedy (even on Sundays) he is extremely professional, patient, and easy to work with. I look forward to our next project together, as I predict will be a big one! I never HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend anyone, but I glowingly recommend JJK for your next contracting job! read more

Worked with Kennedy and his team over a few months in Summer 2021 for a full renovation of a two bedroom apartment in the Bronx, including repainting of walls, ceiling and trim, new kitchen tiling, cabinets, and appliances, new bathroom tiling, tub, shower system, and vanity, and redone wood flooring. It was an incredibly run down apartment when we first purchased it and Kennedy and his team did a great job turning it into a place we are excited to live in. Kennedy is super responsive and, though we had some major hiccups along the way, all of it was handled professionally despite a difficult building management situation. On top of all this, Kennedy had the most reasonable quote of the five or six we spoke with. I'd highly recommend Kennedy and JJK Contracting for any work you need done. read more

They came. They saw. They conquered. Kennedy and his team arrived on-time to my brownstone apartment, ready for action. I needed them to install an over-range microwave (I never had one before) and replace the kitchen sink and faucet. The microwave installation required them to install an outlet above the new microwave (in the cabinet). They took care of everything in about 2 hours time, to include cleanup. I would work with his team again in a heartbeat. Kennedy was very meticulous about the details an ensured a quality job. I'm very pleased with the results and fair pricing. read more

JJK Contracting was very easy to work with! They came out for an in-person consultation to take measurements and answer my questions. I was getting quotes from several contractors at the time, and they were the only contractor who came out for an in person consultation before any deal was signed. That went a long way with me. So I signed them up, they came and tiled my kitchen floor in less than a day and half, it looks incredible! Such a difference! Would highly recommend JJK to anyone looking to upgrade their flooring! read more

JJK is great! We completely redid 3 rooms with them (a kitchen and 2 baths). They were easy to work with, and gave us some good recommendations on suppliers and subcontractors when we needed it. They were really reasonable on price, and were really good about making sure we were happy with the finished product. I definitely recommend. read more

Oneil is a gem! I was looking to replace my hallway sliding door to a mirror sliding door. I also wanted to replace the side moulding because my dog had damaged the wood badly. I went to Home Depot and purchased the sliding door and Oneil kindly asked if I needed his skills to install it. I got his business card and found his rates to be reasonable from the start when he came over and assessed what needed to be done. When he came over, he is very PROMPT and not a minute over. He quickly got started right away and you can tell the detail workmanship he was putting into this project from the beginning. He took his time to get it right and no shortcuts were made. He was VERY considerate of the small space he had to work with. After the job he cleaned up everything and before he left he made sure I was happy (very nice service) and If I was satisfied with my new mirror sliding doors and I was. I AM SO glad I found him and how everything worked out perfectly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Oneil to everyone! You can't go wrong and you'll regret not hiring Oneil for all your jobs- from either a simple quick fix to a branch new sliding door to kitchen countertop or bathroom, etc. He does EVERYTHING!! Thanks Oneil read more

I hired this company to paint, and to remove and replace my flooring. I recommend this business.

Woman who answers the phone is like a rude robot. Called to find out if they provide specific services and requested to have a call back.to discuss with the contractor and they refused unless I committed to a "virtual tour". Clearly they are unprofessional and would never hire them. read more

Oneil was contracted by my building to repair the ceiling as I had, and still slightly have, an issue with leaks from the roof. YAY ME! :( He was very professional working with. He arrived promptly at the scheduled appointment time and finished within reason. Only complaint, and maybe this could be a ceiling/leak issue, I just wish the ceiling would be a bit smoother. I can see where the work was done. Would I use him again? Yes! Will I write another review when I do? Yes, yes I will. Til then... read more

We hired Oneil to build doors and cabinets for our apartment, as well as a few other things... As someone that works in real estate and has dealt with many contractors, I couldn't recommend Oneil more. His team are punctual, respectful hard workers who were an absolute pleasure to work with. The final product is excellent. We are very happy! read more

Kennedy did a wonderful job. I had a pretty bad hole in my plaster, and he took his time fixing it, even patching some other, nearby holes in the process! It was painless, and I'll definitely call up JJK in the future if I ever have any more projects. Thank you! read more

Like the other reviewer, Oneil gave me his card when I was in the paint section of Home Depot. I had just bought a house and knew I would need quotes for some work to be done so that was great timing. Oneil is very professional. He came to look at what I wanted done and emailed me a quote within a couple of days. When I wanted to add a couple of things to the list, he was upfront and honest and said he couldn't give me a quote without seeing the additional issues first, so he came back out again. I appreciated that he didn't just pull numbers out of the air and actually took the time to give me an accurate quote. That's why I ultimately chose him over the other contractors (I just lucked out that his quote was actually the lowest of the 4 I got). As far as his work ethic, he always arrived at the time he told me he would, and the one time he was running late because of traffic, he called to let me know. He worked quickly and efficiently and always had a great/positive attitude. I had him do a bunch of small things around the house (install new kitchen faucet and permanent shower rod, fix some molding, etc), but the major work was having him build 2 closets, one in the entryway to cover some water pipes and a walk in closet in the master bedroom. After he finished framing and drywalling the hallway closet, I really was not happy with how large it was bc it blocked a lot of the entryway (it was completely my fault since he asked me several time where he should place the wall). When I told him I wasn't happy with it, he redid the closet by pushing the wall back without any complaint - actually he assured me more than once that it was ok even though I felt really bad about having him do it over! Everything only took 2 weekends and Oneil was very particular with making sure everything was cleaned up and debris/dust was swept up before he left. It was very nice having someone so professional to work with and I would def hire him again for future jobs. read more

I had some water damage drywall and a couple of closet doors that needed to be cut down. Kennedy and his team were super responsive, on time, and professional. They couldn't have been more friendly and commutative. The prices are reasonable and payment couldn't have been easier. Their work was fantastic and done fast. I would highly recommend this company for any job. I'm definitely going to call them the next time I need some work done. read more

Painted my entire apartment--fair price, good communication, timely and professional. Would recommend for any home improvement work.
