J K Complete Remodeling & Construction Inc

I can't speak to how it went overall, because no one from this company returned my call nor responded to my email.

Quotes for the project were all over the place. With a high of $28,000 with proposed custom cabinetry and HVAC modifications, to a low of $10,000 that was so loosely worded that in my experience meant inevitable misunderstandings and change orders. Jack?s quote was fairly detailed, but of course there were some areas of discussion. These areas were addressed quickly and to my satisfaction. Although I had created a floor plan that was relatively detailed, there were some framing questions that arose during construction. All of the solutions that were suggested by his team were reasonable and executed quickly. There wasn?t any attempt to up sell or create a change order to the quote. However in the bathroom there was an issue with the roughed in soil lines that my home builder performed. This did result in a change order that was very reasonable and performed without any impact on the schedule. All crews were polite and very respectful of our home. They left the work space broom clean every night. The drywall team did an amazing job of managing the dust that is created by the Spackle and taping process. We are extremely happy with the project and have recommended Jack to our son and friends.

The biggest problem was cleaning out the garage to have Jake's crew start. The team was efficient. The ceiling drywall was removed and packed up the first day. 2nd day was re-stablizing the original construction, and a extra support beam was added. After reviewing the construction, my boyfriend and I decided that we need better/more stabilization. Jake came by the 3rd morning and gave further instructions to the team. They added an another beam and totally stabilized the roof, removing the sag.4th day was drywalling, mud, sanding. 5th day, finished with drywall and primed. Perfect!

Jack and his crew were always here when they said they would be. The men all were expert craftsmen who seemed to take pride in their work. The men were very good about cleaning up every day they were here. They were also good at discussing and problem solving any unexpected issues that arose. Jack was always quick to return phone calls and frequently stopped by to ensure the project was going as planned. They finished on time with no unexpected extra costs. I would definitely use them in the future for any home improvement projects. I feel like they provide a great value in what they do.

It was fine. Jack and his workers had access to my house while my wife and I were at work so you can trust them. At times it was a little difficult understanding the workers accent. As the job progressed there were some little things here and there that I pointed out and Jack and his team fixed with no questions asked. There were a couple of extras that Jack threw in such as insulation on outer wall and he removed a mirror in the bath and covered with drywall. I plan on having Jack back for more work in the Fall.

We were quite pleased with Jack Kowalczwk and his crew of two workers. The tile work, carpentry, drywall, and electrical work was excellent. They started and finished the project right on schedule. On a daily basis, they cleaned the work area very well. The workers were polite and accommodated the minor changes we made along the way. There were no extra fees, and their pricing seemed quite reasonable based on two other quotes we received for the job. We plan to bring back over in the near future for kitchen remodeling.

They never responded to either of my messages. I stated in my message what town I lived in so if they didn't want to come to my area they could have at least called and said so.

Jack and his team are GREAT to work with. His crew is punctual and we were very impressed with the firm’s professionalism and the craftsmanship that went into creating the rooms. From start to finish, everyone knew what was needed and every phase was completed on or ahead of schedule. The crew pointed out all issues about the basement and we could tell that they took much pride in their work. We are delighted with the results and we are looking forward to providing references. We will have some other projects for J K to be sure.

Based on positive Angie's List reviews and my ease of conversation with Jacek, I decided to use JCK. What began as a basement remodel project to create a better use of our space became so much more. We strived to integrate the main level with the basement so that it felt more like two floors. The upstairs being early 1900's bungalow. The downstairs being modern. The benefit of using a guy like Jacek is that we had a rough idea of what we wanted rather than set plans. This enables us to adjust on the fly based on what we found along the way. That is not to say that there were not contentious moments, but in the end we worked things out. Hats off to the team - Paul, Richard, Michael, Ralph, and others. I'm getting rave reviews from neighbors, friends, and family. Thanks,

They're pretty good. They're prompt in providing their service. Their work is quality and the price is reasonable. The proposal is detailed enough to know exactly what to expect.

My family and I are very happy and pleased with how our bathroom came out! Jack was a pleasure to deal with, and Paul (Pawel) did all the work for us. He followed our design completely, and our vision was realized! Paul was very methodical, conscientious, and paid attention to every detail. He also provided useful and creative suggestions when we needed it. It shows in the nice work that he did for us! The work area was cleaned before he left every day, and everything was spotless when the project was completed. The project took about 14 working days (though Saturdays were short work days) / three calendar weeks to complete the project. They worked with my work schedule, so that really helped. The project was completed on budget with no surprises or additional fees. On top of JK's fee, we spent just over $2k for the tile, cabinets, plumbing and electrical fixtures to give you a better idea of the project costs. I can go on and on, but pictures are worth 1000 words, so visit here for before and after snapshots of our bathroom project:http://markrodz.zenfolio.com/p536943436 Note that I still need to complete some things that I do myself (e.g. door trim, toilet roll holder) that weren't part of JK's scope. All in all, we highly recommend JK Complete Remodeling, and we WILL use them in the future!

Jack and his crew were a pleasure to deal with. I wish I would have found him years ago. I have gone through nightmares with contractors in the past, and was expecting the same. Jack was nothing like other contractors I have dealt with. He was quick to respond to any questions I had, and went out of his way to be accommodating. His crew was punctual, pleasant, and hard working. I would use Jack again in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend him and his crew. Hire Jack, you will not be sorry!!

I wasn’t able to complete the job with them but they were fantastic. The guy who came out his name was Jack and he gave me an estimate really quickly and he was accommodating. He was professional, direct, he was a really good communicator and he had some great ideas. He gave me a great price and he was very upfront of what he could or could not do. I would use them again in the future.

I am not going to reiterate what most of the previous reports have detailed. This report is no exception. Richard did a great job. He came on time stayed on at least until 5:30 PM or even until 8 PM one day. He clearly knows what he is doing. Yes, he does not speak great English, smokes more than I would want and grumbles a bit about how the work at hand is more than he bargained for. In the end, he did a great job with the tiling, electrical and plumbing. As for Jacek, he gave me a detailed contract, never pressurized me into giving him the job. He has consistently returned each of my 21 odd calls I made to him through the project. I had given a window of Feb 15-28 within which to complete the job and largely got it done within that time frame. He even did my back splash in the kitchen for $250 which is a bargain and a job very well done. There are few minor things I needed fixed after the job was done and he sent Richard to fix all the issues. In summary, a conscientious contractor with a workaholic team. The best deal for me so far on AL.

Great - no issues. We felt comfortable with the workers here by themselves, they had free access to our home. They were polite, professional, and cleaned up every night after themselves. They arrived promptly, at time promised and worked non-stop. Plus they were tolerant of our dog and very kind. We needed our shower done before the entourage of out of town family coming for Thanksgiving. Jack did a wonderful job of meeting our unrealistic deadline and did a GREAT JOB!

I wanted to remodel our basement to create a bright living space for our daughter and her family to share with us when they moved back to Illinois from out of state. I had Eric Mullendore Architects draw up plans and then got bids from a number of firms. We liked the thoroughness of JK Complete Remodeling and Construction's bid. We were not disappointed. Jack and his crew were very responsive and punctual. All the work whether electrical, plumbing or finish carpentry was done with care resulting in a the finished basement we had hoped for. Friends who stopped by during the process noted that they had never seen a work site so clean at the end of every day. The time frame for completing the project needed to be sped up because of the start time for my daughter's job in Chicago. Jack was able to finish what needed to be done in order for the move to happen - which I know wasn't easy. We really appreciate the hard work and craftsmanship the results of which we now get to enjoy. I would definitely use JK Complete Remodeling and Construction again.

Overall I am very happy with the project and it is really like we have moved into a new home. Through out the process Jack was extremely flexible to changes we made and always very responsive when we called. Any issues were cleared up quickly and it was evident that Jack wanted to leave us happy with the work. Work was carried out smoothly and regularly throughout the process and Jack broke down the payments into seven installments due upon completion of each portion of the job which frankly instilled a lot of confidence. JK Complete Remodeling and Construction was an excellent value and I would definitely use him for any future remodels.

Jack responded promptly, provided a quote immediately, wrote up a contract, and began work within weeks. I had enough time to pick out all supplies I wanted, and then completed the job right on time. Jack was very efficient and produced quality work.

We were very pleased with the service we received from this company. After receiving estimates from several highly reviewed providers on Angie's list we decided to go with JK. We had the major components of the bathroom thought through, but needed some help in the finishing details. Jack and his employees were extremely helpful in providing recommendations. The workers were very professional and polite. Being right in between all of our bedrooms we were concerned about the potential mess, but they did a great job and cleaned up every day when they were done. The attention to detail was fantastic. All of the subway tiles were laid perfectly. We were initially not happy about the layout of the tiles in the marble floor they took them up and re-laid them. In the end everything turned out perfectly.

JK never responded. I sent the e-mail via Angie's list on Saturday. Even gave a detailed list of job from an estimate we received several years ago. As of Tuesday, there was no response so I called and left Jack a voicemail. Here is is on Wednesday and still no call or e-mail. I read other messages about JK not being responsive and Jack said he was out of the country for a funeral. Maybe he's out of the country again? If so, at least say on your voicemail that your not accepting new jobs at the moment.

I'm a little late in writing my review, but in 2010, we decided we wanted to add a bathroom to the finished attic of our 110+ year old Victorian home. It was not an easy undertaking due to the age of the house and the pitch of the roof up there. We got several estimates, and JK was by far the most fair. Jack had a great design ideas and his staff executed beautiful and quality work. They were always on time and every morning they spend time and lay out tarp on my floors and 2 flights of stairs in order to keep things as clean as possible. They took them up every night when they were done. I told them they could save time and energy by just leaving them there for the next day, but they were very conscientious and told us they did not mind doing it every day. In the end, it looked better than we even imagined it. Amount spent was Jk's labor cost plus the cost of materials which we provided.

We found J.K. Complete Remodeling and Construction, Inc. on Angie's List. As a Realtor and landlord, we only get contractors/repair people from Angie's List (we love you, Angie!). I called the company owner, Jack Kowalczyk, and he met us at our rental property the next day. Jack was prompt. Returned phone calls. He's very polite, punctual, and very helpful. We're experienced real estate investors and immediately knew that he was knowledgeable and also experienced. He quoted us a very fair price. We didn't even seek another opinion we were so pleased with him and his willingness to work with us and his fair price. Jack stated the job would take 2+ days; it was completed in 2. He showed up on time as did his assistant. Also found time to repair the front door. We have recommended Jack and his company to all our Realtor colleagues/family/friends.

Jack and his crew were very professional. The crew was on-time every day. They paid attention to detail and always made sure we were on the same page, especially after we made some changes to the original plan. The estimate was very straightforward and there were no surprises with our final bill. They finished the project quickly even though we had several holidays while the project was ongoing. Our basement now looks wonderful! I would definitely hire JK Construction again.

Jack and his crew did an excellent job remodeling my mothers bathroom. Updated and made it more user friendly for an elderly person. He stayed within the budget I had set and stayed on schedule even with the holidays approaching, finishing just before Christmas Eve. I will definitely use him again for future work at her house.

We were looking for an honest and reliable contractor as we had two bad experiences (prior to belonging to Angie's List). JK Complete Remodeling & Construction had a good reputation so we interviewed them along with three other companies. Jack (Jacek) from JK was knowledgeable, thorough and responsive. His prices were comparable to one other bid, and slightly lower than 2 others. We chose JK Remodeling primarily because of our confidence in Jack after speaking with him. Our confidence was confirmed and rewarded by JK's work. Jack was always very responsive, polite and patient in explaining things, open to working with us on changes, and helpful in making suggestions. He always delivered what he said he would, and he and his workers were unfailingly professional. We had to re-do the electrical in the basement to get everything up to code after the previous owner left things a mess. We also moved a toilet in the master bath and then added tile flooring. JK also re-did some drywall and painted. Jack handled all the inspections and everything passed without problems. JK Remodeling also handled a few smaller jobs that we decided to have done (as often happens with remodeling) and they did so quickly even though they were not originally scheduled to be done. We could not be more pleased with working with JK Remodeling. My wife was home most of the time, and she was really happy with the respect for the house and the way the workers cleaned up after each day's work. Jack and JK exceeded our expectations in every aspect -- it's what working with a contractor should be! We'll definitely call on JK Remodeling again in the future whenever we want more work done. UPDATE: Months after the job was done, a few problems arose that were unrelated to the work done by JK, but as a result of work done by another contractor we hired before JK for a job. JK came out right away and fixed the problems right away. Jack and his crew really are outstanding.
