J&W came up as a recommended and the reviews were great and was a great indicator of the work performed. Jim and his team did a great job communicating and the deck turned out amazing. Our old wooden landing was in bad shape and generally unsafe and Jim did a great recommendation and design. We couldn't love our new deck more and look forward to working with J&W on future projects.

Home Advisor got me the contact for J&W. The owner of the company called on a Thursday we set up a time on Saturday to meet. We had 2 estimates scheduled to replace and construct our deck, but we were so impressed with Jim and the plans he recommended we cancelled the other 2 and signed the contract with J&W on the spot! 3 weeks after they started the work to replace our deck with composite. The result is outstanding, and under our budget. Jim and his crew were prompt and friendly, let us know how the project was coming along every day, and answered any questions we might have. As the owner of the company, Jim was here frequently to monitor the work. When it was done they cleaned up the leftover materials. We're so impressed with our deck we talked about doing other projects in the house like flooring and remodeling. We highly recommend J&W Construction and they get 5 (plus) stars from us!

Excellent work replacing our old wooden deck with a composite deck within a reasonable time period. The structure is very well built and looks great.

Would not hire again! Job took much longer than I was told, however, to be fair, 30% of delay was beyond contractors control. The other 70% of delay was caused from errors and obvious mistakes which had to be redone. Price exceeded original quote (some of this due to additions we agreed upon yet I felt corners were cut on these to contractors benefit). Wood used was low quality and even looked like scrap leftover from another job with large knots which were starting to rot. Shoddy work leaving numerous screws and nail heads sticking out some up to an inch in length. Stairs hold huge amounts of water which will be a hazard come winter. It was necessary to remove a pipe and was told they would reconnect which I eventually was told I would be charged $250 or to call a plumber. This was a fairly large job and cost quite a bit of money yet I felt it was being treated as a side job. I always read reviews before I buy something and this was no different. The handful of reviews I read were all favorable so I didn’t want to write my experience yet decided to do so after prompted by neighbors and friends to alert potential customers. The balance paid to him was done, reluctantly I might add, because I didn’t want his 2 employees who were nice guys to not get paid. If you hire or are considering hiring JW to do work on your home I would suggest at the end of each day you personally go out and inspect and MEASURE what’s been done. This man needs a level!!!
