Our 1915 Prairie-style house had one small bathroom that had suffered a bad DIY remodeling several…read moredecades ago and had developed a leak into the kitchen ceiling below. The bathroom needed a complete overhaul, including new plumbing and wiring, as well opening a window that had been partially covered in the previous remodel. Other areas that needed substantial repair included a water closet with a single toilet on the basement landing, tiling in the kitchen, a microwave installation, ceiling cracks in the living room and dining room, chipped wall paint in hallways, the aforementioned kitchen ceiling leak, and replacement of outdated wiring and plumbing in the basement. It was a sprawling remodel-and-repair job. JDL came highly recommended and did not disappoint. They patiently spent a lot of time with us up front on the overall design of the project, from the attic to the basement. They laid out the cost of the project, including options, in great detail. The price wasn't cheap, but it was fair, and we feel we got more than our money's worth. These folks are professionals. Once JDL started the actual work, we were impressed with the overall project management, the exacting craftsmanship of both their own employees and the subcontractors, and the way they treated our house as respectfully as they would have treated their own. They cleaned up after themselves every single day, communicated about their progress regularly and made all significant decisions in consultation with us. The result is a bright, modern bathroom that nevertheless blends in perfectly with the 1915 style of the house.

I can only say wonderful things about JDL Construction. When…read moreour garage/studio had problems being approved by the county, they stuck with us through three revisions. When we had to readjust our projected budget downward due to money lost to an incompetent planner, they worked to complete the project with fewer dollars. We are extremely happy with the result. Joe Lyons is scrupulously honest, as are employees Teresa, Dan, John and Trevor. It was a pleasure dealing with JDL. I would recommend them with the highest possible accolades.

Disappointed but not surprised I'm far from the first person leaving a 1 star review…read more Management is straight up neglectful to start. The entire building is filthy, dog pee in the staircases, trash on the floors, never seen cleaners even vacuum the halls or stairways, only the lobby gets cleaned maybe once every month or two. The elevator in my building will break down multiple times a year for up to a WEEK at a time. Good luck if you try to complain about any resident, apparently smoking is just fine and dandy here! And management will dodge you if you try to confront them on actually MANAGING the building/residents. And I've heard from multiple people now about them "losing track" of deposits so you end up paying double what was initially asked or lose (in hindsight, "win") out on your rental. Run away from this management team. Seriously.

Their understanding, and professionalism throughout all obstacles with my home repairs, (they know what I'm speaking of). They kept their cool. At least in front of me.

You're the best. If I ever buy or sell anything again in Portland you guys will be my go to A-N-G-E-L-S!

From our very first Zoom call with Darcie & Hilary, I knew I'd be in good hands. They are very easy to work with, highly approachable, and readily available for all the questions. From the initial searching to getting the keys to our new home, they made every step so easy! But they also took the time to ensure I understood what each step involved and didn't just do it all for me. I appreciate that! Darcie & Hilary were a pleasure to work with, and even now after they keys have been delivered they continue to offer their assistance, expertise, and connections in ensuring I'm settling in to the new house and working to make it my own. I would happily recommend them to anyone!

We knew pretty quickly Scott was the right person to guide us from "dream" to "moving in" when it…read morecame time to build our dream home. At every turn we felt like he cared about our dream as much as we do, and that's hard to find. There were many times we had big long-lasting decisions to make, and Scott was great at listening to us and feeding us the information we needed to feel confident in our decisions. There were times we shared silly little details of our vision and I thought "there's no way he caught all of what I was mulling in my head," and every single time he caught it, understood, and executed on it. Personally, it took me some time to realize someone could care about this project as much as we did. The home turned out beautifully, and I have a lot of respect for Scott as a builder and human because of the experience.
