When I tried to call him about it, he did not return any of my calls or emails for over 2 weeks. When he finally called me back, he seemed very aloof and uncaring about my concern that the deck was not finished until it was thoroughly painted. He told me that the paiting of the deck supports was not part of his bid. He should have told me this at the beginning. Any person takes the word of the contractor that the job will be complete. Then, when i had questions about why it was unfinished, he should have provided good customer service and promptly taken 5 minutes to call me and let me know what was going on. Poor customer service and an unfinished job is what I am left with from Aj Construction. I can not recommend them to anyone else.

When we go ahead to the next phase, we will be calling him to do the work.

Disclaimer: Jim Cooley of Cooley construction is my son…read more That being said, I wish he lived closer to me (in San Jose) because he applies the kind of thought and attention to detail that you rarely find in builders. He will always do it the right way rather than the cheap way. His recent project for me has been the replacement of my old windows with new vinyl double-pane windows. He and his crew true those windows and sliding doors to the micrometer and have sealed up the windows so tightly that nothing can get through. Jim does general construction work (foundations, framing, remodels, etc.) in Atascadero and the surrounding cities, is a graduate of Cal Poly SLO, and has lived and worked in the area for over 25 years.

We have given several jobs to Casey Johnston at our home on the Central Coast, and you can sum up…read morehis work by calling him a true professional. We started with a small job, the installation of a tankless water heater. What really impressed me was how neat every connection was, and how exacting every joint. It's as good as if I did it myself (and knew what I was doing!). We then had Casey do a complete makeover of the exterior of our home: new stucco, windows, doors, decks, railings and paint. It is really beautiful, both in craftsmanship and esthetics. People stop and tell me how attractive my home is now. Currently we are in the midst of a kitchen/living room remodel, and things are still great. Casey has stuck to the budget and kept on schedule, and we anticipate another satisfying, attractive result. His designer Kathy has been great with suggestions but has also listened to what we wanted, and so the result is exactly what we wanted before we actually knew what that was. Not that things don't go wrong in a remodel - no one is perfect, and neither is every product. When we have had the occasional hiccup, Casey has stood behind his work and remedied the problem quickly and without complaint. I would recommend Casey Johnston Construction without reservation.

So many places weren't interested at all in a minor repair job. I was uncomfortable with attempting a DIY fix due to the height and pitch of my roof. I was patient and McLean's got to me a bit earlier than the phone estimate I was given upon my first call. I found the quote acceptable and scheduled the repair. The work was done quickly, by professionals and looks great. Now the good part. The work crew performed the repair in half of the estimated time. McLean's called back afterwards and said they were cutting the quote in half and to wait for a 50% invoice. When was the last time you heard of that?

I cannot say enough good things about JV Roofing. It was an absolute pleasure working with them…read morefrom start to finish. From the moment I called, I felt taken care of. Within just a few days, they had someone on my roof performing a thorough inspection. My roof was nearly 30 years old, had multiple leaks, and several other issues. They walked me through everything they found, explained exactly how they planned to fix it, and answered every question I had. They are licensed, insured, and the roof comes with an extensive warranty. Citlaly arrived with samples of different roofing materials, colors, and underlayments. She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the differences between each option so I could make an informed decision. Everyone I dealt with was warm, professional, courteous, and genuinely pleasant. At no point did I ever feel pressured or rushed into making a decision. That same day, they provided me with an extremely detailed, itemized estimate outlining every aspect of the project. The pricing was very fair, and the scope of work actually exceeded my expectations. The only unknown was the amount of wood that might need to be replaced once the old roof was removed, which they explained upfront because it couldn't be determined beforehand. The entire process was incredibly convenient. All of the paperwork was handled electronically through e-signatures, making everything quick and easy. Once I approved the estimate, they had a crew on my roof within two weeks. The crew was phenomenal. They arrived on time every morning, worked incredibly hard throughout the day, and were always friendly and respectful. They would even smile and wave as I took my dogs outside. They were efficient, organized, and it was obvious they knew exactly what they were doing. I work during the day, so they completed everything while I was gone. Every evening when I came home, the job site was spotless. Not just "picked up," it was immaculate. My driveway and backyard were actually cleaner than they were before the project started. One thing that really impressed me involved my security camera system. I had installed it myself, and the wiring was honestly a mess, with cables running across the roof and cameras mounted to the fascia boards. I fully expected them to ask me to remove everything or charge me extra to deal with it. Instead, they never even brought it up. They carefully worked around every wire, temporarily moved what they needed to, put everything back exactly where it belonged, and never charged me a penny extra. It was actually much neater when they finished. When they removed the old roof, they discovered quite a bit of dry rot. It looked to me like they replaced a significant amount of fascia and damaged wood. I was preparing myself for a surprise bill of $1,000 to $2,000 or more. Instead, they charged me exactly what they originally quoted, plus only $500 for all of the additional wood replacement, labor and painting which took them almost a full day. Another pleasant surprise was that they didn't ask for a deposit. I didn't pay a single dollar until the entire project was finished and I was satisfied with the work. They simply texted me a secure online payment link where I could pay by bank transfer or credit card. They even absorbed the credit card processing fee, which is almost unheard of on a project this size. Most importantly, the finished roof looks absolutely beautiful. I'm not a roofing expert, but I know quality craftsmanship when I see it. Everything is straight, clean, and perfectly aligned. The drip edge, flashing, corners, and overall attention to detail are outstanding. JV Roofing should be extremely proud of both their employees and the way they run their business. They are honest, fair, hardworking, and clearly take tremendous pride in their work. JV Roofing completely earned my trust. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone needing a new roof. I only wish every contractor operated with the same level of professionalism, integrity, and customer service. This company is an absolute gem. Thank you all so much!

They will ask for your opinion on things and do not try to override your choices. If your choices are not doable, they will kindly let you know what else can be done for a workaround. Besides hiring and keeping long time super knowledgeable employees, they can and do make better suggestions than homeowners might not have considered. They bravely fought through the pandemic to build our house and never sent anyone to the site who had come in close contact with covid conditions. Perhaps the most important thing was the level of perfection to make what you wanted, and if not what you envisioned, they would change it for you. It should also be added that the friendly and hardworking construction workers on the site were indispensable to success. My wife and daughter are outright pinpoint perfectionists and I am not far behind. Allen met and exceeded all expectations and now we have a dream home come true. I would give them 6 stars out of 5.
