I hired JLF Construction to finish some spackle and paint our nursery. I wish I never did. I had Jose come out to give a quote. He looked everything over and immediately shot of a price way too high for what the scope of work was. I was providing all materials and tools just needed labor. I told him we would think it over and get back to him. From that day on he continued to harass me with phone calls and texts wanting me to hire him. Finally I explained we felt the price was too high and we'd be getting additional quotes. He then negotiated down to what I thought was a fair price and we hired him. He sold me on how he had over 40 years of experience. Showing pictures of work he recently completed that we liked. We set up a day for him to come out and do the work. I was working when he had the availability and my wife was home. She text me saying there were 3 people here total and she didn't think it was going too well. She said she thinks I need to look everything over but he was demanding payment and wouldn't leave. I text Jose and explained I wouldn't agree to pay until I was home to see the work completed. To my amazement when I got home the room looked awful. He had let his 20 year old son who had no experience cut in the paint. Lines weren't straight, paint on my ceiling in some areas and other areas paint didn't even go all the way up the wall and it wasn't a double coat cut in. The white paint under showed through where they cut in. I immediately called Jose expressing my concerns and he started threatening me, insulting me and telling me I want something for nothing. He threatened to come to my house the next day. My wife who is pregnant was afraid so I agreed to just pay him. He then offered to send his son back out but he refused to come fix it himself since he wasn't the one who did the cutting in. I refused. I was so disappointed after seeing all of his great reviews. I wish I never came across his business. We had to pay a professional painter to come out and fix the issues. Luckily they didn't try to change and arm and a leg. If I could tell anyone to look elsewhere when considering these guys I would. Also, just a side note he had his sons wash out the paint in my yard causing my grass to die. I had them on camera the entire time doing it and asked multiple times to please stop since I pay for lawn treatments. This entire experience ended up costing me more than what we budgeted.

They responded immediately to my problem. They had everything fixed in 2 day just as they stated. You cannot even tell that we had a problem. Excellent joy. Protected everything in the kitchen and cleaned up everything. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend them.

JLF Construction does a very good job but he is expensive. The project involved putting a trim around 3 skylights that were 2 stories high. JLF also did repairs outside of the house . I am satisfied with his work. I would hire JLF again but the cost is a deterrent.

The projects of replacing baseboards in basement, repairing drywall in the master bedroom, repairing holes in hardwood floors in sunroom and installing curtain rods and curtains in 2 bedrooms. Jose and his son showed up as scheduled. The job was completed in an exemplary manner, i.e., an outstanding job. We were more than satisfied with the professional outcome and will be contacting Jose in the immediate future.

Jose snd his son arrived on time and took down my old pull down attic stairs. They had the knowledge and expertise to install the new and VERY STURDY one in its place. I am thrilled with the workmanship. It is a rarity these days to find tradesmen with such wonderful work ethic. I will DEFINITELY call Jose and JLF Construction for my next home repair project.

Jose Flores is very knowledgeable, punctual and explains what he is going to do and why. He is very versatile and able to perform a variety of tasks. He does stucco, hardscaping, masonary work and many other crafts. If Jose says ge can do a job, it will get done expeditiously and accurately. I highly recommend him..

Excellent quality work on my chimney, done quickly and without disruption to the household routine. Looked at the work, gave an estimate with some additional upgrades, if desired and started the job within 2 to 3 days. He brought in a crew, set up the scaffold and worked until chimney was complete. He skipped a day and came back to paint the finished work. Great job. The price was very good for the work as compared to others doing the same work, with a discount for cash. I would recommend JLF. I have some estimates for other work that I need to be accomplished over the next month or two.

We had a fence that needed a full tear down and several posts fixed or replaced. JLF & crew called us back, gave us an estimate and had the work done in under a week. It would have been even quicker if not for the rain. Two days of work had our fence perfect for less than most were estimating, but higher quality and more care put into correcting ongoing issues. They even cleaned & re-used some gate hardware that saved us a little more. My neighbor was impressed enough to hire them on the spot and they did their fence the next day. Yard was left cleaner than it was when they arrived. They won't be the cheapest, but they are the absolute best value if you want it done correctly.
