We hired Josh Wallace last fall for a complete kitchen gut and remodel along with a custom curio…read moreshelf and mantle build with a fireplace install in the living room of our new house. No project of this scope is without stress, but it became obvious early on that Josh's knowledge of construction, design, plumbing, and electric was pretty impressive. He worked with us painstakingly on the initial design and subsequent revisions on the fly, he did his best to accommodate our every whim as things moved along, and in the end, all but lived at our place until all the boxes were checked. His subcontractors were all first rate, very polite, and obviously cared about their craftsmanship. The results...a beautiful, functional kitchen exactly as we envisioned and a living room addition that popped. Actual costs vs initial estimates will always vary due to unforeseen circumstances. But we were more than content with some very minor overruns, most of which were driven by the inevitable additions we requested. The final number, very much in line with budget, represented value. One more thing...Josh is a genuinely decent person. He is low key and completely non-confrontational. Some might mistake low key for unenthusiastic...quite the contrary. Little or nothing escapes him, and at times, he moved heaven and earth to get our wishes fulfilled. I recommend him highly.

The scope work which we wanted done required the workers to use the preexisting and functioning…read moresump pump. The first night after they installed the french drain system and new pit, the sump pump started mal-functioning. The workers came back the next day to finish the job and told us that the floater was sticking and that we may need a new sump pump. Mike tried to scare us into buying a new sump pump for $450. Knowing that we could go buy a perfectly good sump pump for less than $200 at Home Depot, we said no. They "finished" the job and we paid Mike in cash. Well, the next day our sump pump failed again and caused water to seep up onto our basement floor. We called Mike to ask him to come repair the sump pump that his workers had carelessly broken. He told us that there was nothing that he could do and that they don't fix sump pumps and that's why we should have bought a new one yesterday. Furthermore, he didn't offer any sort of remediation. Immensely frustrated after spending all that money, still having a wet basement, and getting no assistance from the company, my husband went to take a look at the sump pump himself. Low and behold, he found little pieces of plastic in the pit that the workers left in there. He removed all the pieces and ever since the sump pump has been working like new. We truly felt like they were sabotaging our sump pump on purpose to scam us for more money. Even if this was not the case, it was still negligence on their part. Furthermore, Mike who claims that he oversees everything only showed up on the last day in order to get paid and never bothered to inspect the quality of work. Overall, even though our basement is dry, the customer service and accountability were lousy. I would not recommend this company to any of my friends or family members.

They did a fantastic job, kept me updated on the progress and everything is working great to this day. The existing pit was way too shallow, which was shown by the fact that when the job was done right it took 2 days for the water to settle from filling and pumping out. A while later everything is still working fine.

I am a landlord with several buildings in Philadelphia. Mr. Buchanan has been my go-to contractor…read morefor the past 3 years. He has done many jobs for me such as shoring up the main floor of a building, installing a free-floating banister and railings, laying a new floor, plumbing repairs, installing doors and windows, as well as many other smaller jobs. His work is very good and he is honest, reliable, thorough, thoughtful and very easy to work with. Always on time and a gentleman, I believe you will be very happy with his work and his work ethic. (I see another reviewer gave Mr. B a bad review for his concrete work. Mr. B. did an exterior patio concrete job that I was not happy with. ALL OTHER WORK HE HAS EVER DONE FOR ME HAS BEEN EXCELLENT AND HIS PRICE IS GOOD but I must agree that I would not hire him for patio concrete work again).

We called three roofers; of the three, only J & K actually followed through with a visit and an estimate (even though the other roofers said they'd get right back to me). In contrast, J & K was very responsive, came out immediately to look at the job, and was able to fit us in right away. Because we were impressed with J & K, we didn't wait around trying to browbeat other roofers into giving us estimates. This means I can't comment on whether J & K's price was high or low; but it seemed fair. They showed up when they said they would, and got the job done quickly. Importantly, they didn't make a mess--the job site was VERY neat. The workers were disciplined and professional. I was extremely impressed. They don't use hot tar, and so we didn't have a stinking cauldron bubbling away in front of our house, which was nice. We interacted with John, who is highly knowledgeable and competent, as well as pleasant to deal with. I'm not a roofer, and I guess we'll have to wait 10 years to be sure that this was a good investment. Having said that, our dealings with J & K Roofing so far have been outstanding, and have exceeded my expectations in every way.

He subcontracted out all the work, just yelled & supervised. My front steps were repainted before the repointing concrete was dry. My steps look like 'Tetris'. I called and complained and he said he would come back in a few months because he had surgery. Told him to give me the paint info and I would do it myself. Messaged him again about the chunks of concrete falling from the foundation, and he proceeds to tell me he's had surgery and RETIRED TO FLORIDA. He then proceeds to send me photos of his groin & shaved pubes. P.S. Insisted I pay him in cash, my mistake. Don't do business with this creep.
