Description of Work: After paying for the coupon with an Angie's list agent I contacted the company. I was told I would have to wait 2 weeks before they can talk to me about it. I said no problem. I waited 2 weeks and called back. The coupon is for 4 hr of dry walling service. He stated it would be 2 hrs with 2 men. I said that's not what the coupons says. He says that's what it would take-2 men. Not Cool!!!!

Description of Work: I cancelled the work due to the list of problems below: I purchased "$115 for 4 Hours of Drywall/Plaster Repair" yet workers said that the deal was only for 2 man hours when the printed coupon clearly stated otherwise. Workers were late, and went to wrong address. This company works only banker's hours and are unaccomodating w/ client's schedule.

Response from J T General Contracting
Hello, Sorry about your experience. The workers had (2) address locations and didn't realize even after phone call they were going to the owners home instead of rental property. Honest mistake. They were 20 minutes late. Sorry. The guys explained the customer receives two hours per two man crew. 4 total labor hours. she disagreed that it should be four hours for two men. Not correct. I arranged the schedule two times to give the customer a quick service date in an attempt to do repairs as requested. I called the customer on my return to discuss, she said they would not do the call as specified. Not true. My guys have been doing these calls for approximately 4 years, they do understand and explain how everything works, as do I. Loss of money and time sending them to the call and back again. I do not believe she wanted to pay for added work needed, and used that as an excuse. Regards, JT

Description of Work: They did exactly the work I wanted done and they did it very well, I am happy with the results. |I am puzzled by the price because I paid for 4 hours of work and did indeed get 4 hours (2 men, 2 hours) but they did advise me that if they worked beyond the 2 hours the overtime would be $55 per hour, hmmm. If I do the math correctly that means an additional 2 hours of work for 2 men would only cost me $110, I paid $115 for the same thing - I'm confused.

Description of Work: JT contracting reached out to me and they were very nice. After speaking with a rep he said they couldn't do the work I had reqeusted and that there would be additional costs. Overall they were friendly and nice and I appreciate them reaching out and discussing what i needed done in further detail before wasting both of our times. I will def to look to Angie's List in the future for any needs I may have. Thanks, Scott.

Description of Work: While this company called me back, I found the conversation difficult. I was looking for advice to determine how I wanted to approach replacing my porch. He asked me the measurements of the porch (which I didn't know) and told me to send him pictures instead of coming out to talk to me and make an estimate. I found more receptive companies and chose not to go with this one.

Description of Work: This is my second review on the same project. I did give them a good review the first time, but since I have gone to paint my kitchen after they repaired the holes and cracks and found one good size Crack they didn't repair. When I contacted them they said it would be $155 for 2 hours. I feel it should have been done the first time. They said I signed off, which I did but I still think they should complete the job.

Response from J T General Contracting
Hello, I appreciate your purchase! This coupon was for plaster repairs. Plaster repairs are considered areas of cracks and bad seams, or areas that may be peeling and need feathering. Drywall installation is not part of the coupon and is an additional cost. Installing sheets of drywall is an added charge per sheet. Best, JT
