They came 3 times and did a good job from the actual work perspective. But i was not happy at all about their price model. They added some extra hours and put some hidden expenses which were not told clearly initially.
Description of Work: JT General contracting came to my house for fixing some plaster walls in my kitchen and one electrical work.

Response from J T General Contracting
Hello, Thank you for the business! We appreciate the added work. We always explain the terms and charges before each job. In regards to the plaster coupon, is good towards one service. Extra time if any, is not filled with additional jobs or areas. Separate jobs are an additional cost and are not part of the coupon. Added distance or miles above 20 is also an added trip charge, which in most cases we include within reason. Best Regards, JT

They took their time to make sure that it was absolutely perfect.
Description of Work: Fixed 2 separate areas of drywall on our ceiling. We relocated a light fixture. As a result, this created 2 separate areas of damage. The primary damage was on a 20 ft ceiling. Looking at it now once JT contractor got done, it looks PERFECT, like there was no hole there to begin with.

Hello, Thanks for your business and communication! Once again the customer was able to give a good description of what was needed to complete the areas and send some pictures to ensure we knew what we needed to do. This is always helpful, because I am able to figure and schedule accordingly. Best, JT

Wow. JT General Contracting exceeds expectations. I'm so impressed with Robert's and Chris' outstanding plastering work. Ridiculously superb craftsmanship and attention to detail, incredibly fast, with magically no dusty mess. I paid for an extra hour to have them finish the job right. My only concern now is that the rest of my condo looks a bit shabby in comparison :-)

The workers were for courteous and professional. Let me know exactly what needed to be done and what they were going to do. Since I got the service as a deal for 2 hours work, they also made me aware that it would be an extra cost and how much if the job took more than 2 hours. They work steadily and was done before the two hours and did a great job. Can't tell if there was ever cracks in those places.
Description of Work: Fix 3 bad cracks in my wall(s): one in the dining area and two in the upstairs stairwell.

Once we agreed on a start date and they arrived all was good. I think they do a lot of Angies List deals and as long as you're not in a hurry to get it done and you're flexible on the date then you'll be fine. If you're on a tight dead line then I would seek other options. The guys did great work, were professional and it was well worth it to have them do the work.

The workers did a good job overall, but the workers were kind of careless. They flung my curtain over the rod and it got all dirty. They gave me $60 to have the curtain dry cleaned. The company was not very happy that they had to give me the money to have the dry cleaning done, but again it was not my fault, had they asked me to move the curtain for them, I would have gladly done it.

I am unhappy with the service. It was one room and it was not a large room, it was probably less than a medium sized room. They took forever to get it painted. My husband called their supervisor and that's when they finished half of the wall in like 25 minutes and the remaining half of the wall took three and a half to four hours. And when they finished, it was not very clean.

Hello, I appreciate your business! We always give a description of time and area according to the job. We tarp and cover the area being work on. Walls that are dry and porous will take longer and more paint to cover, as well as going over darker colors. One color versus two colors (dry time or additional cut in) will also lengthen the amount of time to cover a room depending on the situation. We handle each and every job in the same fashion, and we clean/vacuum after completion. I'm sorry you were not happy. Best, JT

I got one of the deals via Angie's list and spent more than I'd expected, but it was a good job and the two painters were excellent. When I purchased the deal, I erroneously assumed that they'd come over first to talk about how much paint I'd need, etc. but they arrived ready and expecting to paint. I wasn't ready so we re-scheduled. I offered to pay a $50 return fee and indeed paid that plus 3 extra hours of work. It was more than I'd expected but - again - they did an exceptional job.

Great communication and punctuality. Kept our house clean. Be mindful of how much time the job requires as price and time for job increases. Paid much more that I thought I would. In their defense, the drywall was hung very poorly so not an easy job. They told us it would require another day of work, 4 to 6 hours ($440 to $660). We finished ourselves as we had paid enough, in our opinion.
