S & J replaced the floor tile, toilet, and fixtures in a bathroom, and painted and repaired the drywall. In the kitchen, they replaced the existing back splash tile with a new one, removed wallpaper, and painted the walls. The job took four days, and the results are satisfactory.

We were very pleased with the work S & J recently completed in our home. The team were very professional, respectful, and completed the work as expected. It's amazing what a little paint and updated fixtures can do and we're so happy with the final result. We'll definitely have the team back to do some additional work.

Terrible. One of the worst tile jobs I have ever seen. Tiles were chipped, and uneven. Had to have them come out twice to fix tile issues, and finally we had to realize that it wasn't going to get any better. They underestimated the cost and came back and asked for more money. If you hire this contractor do so at your own risk. They were supposed to fix all imperfections in walls before painting, and had to come back to fix them a 2nd time along with imperfections in ceilings

This job was done over a year ago -- not sure why, if the job is so poor, a customer would wait this long to complain about it. If it was that bad please address the issues up front - not a year later. An F grade is totally unfair and does NOT add up with the grades the customer gave for the rest of the job. F for quality / B for price / B for responsiveness / C for punctuality / C for professionalism....yet an F overall? Not quite how it averages out overall. Yes, there were issues with the tile for this job, not every job is without issues, and we paid for and replaced the tile that was in question. The customer's tile selection went from standard/basic tile (which it was priced for) to a decorative tile (adds more labor) - changing the scope of the original labor pricing which is why the price changed. The job was priced for basic prep work for the drywall -- and the customer got a light out and went over every single inch of drywall looking for tiny imperfections of the drywall. Again, not basic prep. The customer changed the scope of the work which changed the price of the work. If you change the scope of the job that was agreed upon the pricing changes as well. That is NOT under estimating the work - that is changing the scope of the work that was original priced. The customer walked the job with the foreman and agreed the job looked good so getting this report a year later is surprising. S&J works very hard for every job and if a client ever has an issue it needs to be brought up as soon as possible so it can be addressed. We make sure to address all issue in a timely manner.

S and J provided excellent service on our complete bathroom remodeling. We provided the design and provided the materials, and S and J did the work. Jerry provided the options for doing the work and we chose S and J because of his business model. Elias is an excellent craftsman and he provided ideas and work that brought the project to an excellent conclusion. We could not be more pleased with the result. Jon G

New vanity, toilet, and tile floor in master and main; also added a shower enclosure in master . Paint and new toilet in powder room. Work and quality of workmanship on the main bathroom was excellent. However, quality and finishing in master bath is/was horrible. After 1 year I have cracks in the grout, have had to replace the shower control valve due to some white substance clogging the filter, marks on the new tile, chips in the new tile, towel bars coming off their mounting, shower pan not square causing an issue with the glass enclosure -- just plain bad work. They started with the master bath and powder room and did a good job on those.....though I had to get them to repaint the order room. However with the Master bath things changed. The supervisor was often pulled away on another job and the crew seemed more interested in having fun than focusing on work, The work crew was largely unsupervised during work on the master bath. It seems that they needed to get done before the holidays and decided t slap things together at the last minute. I've decided to regret the entire master bath and shower and will do the work myself. I do not recommend S&J. Very disappointed. Paid for Labor and same materials.

The grout issue with the bathroom was first brought to my attention via email on Dec 10, 2017. Steve, the project manager, was in touch with Mr. [Member Name Removed] immediately. Fast forward to another email from the customer on Nov 12 2018 at 4:37pm saying that there were still issues with the grout and that this shouldn't be happening a year after the installation. Steve, again, was immediately (at 6:41pm - after hours, mind you) in touch with the customer, asking for photos of the affected areas. Photos were finally sent 9 days later on Nov 21 at 8:34pm, see below Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2018 8:34 PM To: golfnman17 at comcast.net Subject: Re: Issues with Bathroom Steve, Attached are the photos of the shower floor. They do not look as bad as things are - I was very concerned about water damage underneath the tiles as in many places the grout was loose and coming up in big chunks - so I used a grout saw to remove the loose grout and then filled it with silicone as a temporary fix. No need to come over. I've decided to go ahead and fix the floor/tiles myself. It will be a pain to get the silicone out but I'd rather make sure that it is done correctly. We hope you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving. "No need to come over." We did attempt to correct this issues with this customer and we were told that he was going to handle the issue himself. Unfortunately handling the issues himself voids a warranty on labor as we were not given the opportunity to fix the grout issue. While I understand it is very frustrating to spend a large amount of money on a project and have issues, some issues are beyond our control - such as bad grout that is supplied and purchased through a vendor and we just install. The job was NOT rushed and our guys don't hurry through jobs for a holiday - we do not "slap" any job together. This work was done in Nov 2017. It took the customer over a year to leave feedback. Project managers work on jobs but also do need to check on other jobs as well so they may not be on one job every single day. Our workers are highly qualified and do fantastic work. Even with our skilled workers issues do arise on occasion but these issues are ALWAYS quickly addressed by us and attempted to be rectified immediately. We work very ho*** ** every job and with every client to ensure everyone is happy with their project and we will continue to do so. Our reputation is incredibly important to us and it's evident by the amount of amazing reviews we have here on Angie's List that we do in fact have hundreds of happy and satisfied customers. So while this customer had complaints we did attempt to take care of the issues. We do need to be given an opportunity to correct things. Our professionalism should never be questioned as we do address issues immediately, regardless of the time of day. We have 530 "A" reviews and that sure counts for something. This business is our livelihood and it takes care of our family. We do not take it lightly that people entrust us with their home improvement projects. Positive reviews and referrals help our business and we do our very best on every job to be sure the customer is going to leave us positive feedback. We want people to call us to feel comfortable enough to call us back for additional home improvements. That is important to us.

Our bathroom renovation looks great. Elias, the supervisor was knowledgeable, profession, friendly and a skilled tradesman. They were always on time and always put down mats keeping the house clean. They demolished a bathroom that was built in 1983 and a mess and the result was a brand new modern bathroom. They did tile work, plumbing, eletrical, installation of toilet and vanities and all hardware and mirrors. We love our new bathroom and would recommended this company.

The owner, Jerry Dix, came to my house at the agreed time to provide an estimate for the work. Of the 4 providers I contacted for an estimate, S & J was the only one to give me a time and materials estimate rather than a firm-fixed-price estimate. I liked S & J's estimate the best, but had some concerns because the price wasn't fixed. Jerry sent a single painter, Joaquin, to do the work. Joaquin did an excellent job and finished in 5 days; one day less than originally estimated.

Jerry responded quickly to my initial call and came out to do an estimate. I felt like he did a great job scoping out the work with me. The two guys he sent to do the work were efficient and skilled - a lot of windows and a lot of high ladder work. Victor did a nice job crafting pieces of trim where it needed to be replaced (a match wasn't available at box stores or Wilson lumber). The workers kept me informed and accommodated a few small requests I made. Jerry's estimate of cost and time was dead on and much more reasonable than other estimate I got. Stacy kept good communication with me through email and made everything as convenient as possible.

Regardless we work hard to get in touch with everyone who calls us. If you slipped through the cracks somehow it was a mistake. If you don't get a call back you are always welcome to call us again to be sure we got the first message as things do happen even with technology.

Joaquin did a great job on the drywall repair. He did an excellent job cutting the drywall to fit the size of the hole (approx 4f tx 9ft). Then he sanded and patched it. I had some left over paint he used to match the existing paint color and he painted the wall that had been repaired. It was a very hot day and he was able to perform the cutting work outside which cut down on the interior dust created. I appreciate his work and after he was done, you could not tell that the wall had a hole just a few hours before. I would hire Joaquin again. Just a few notes to help out others: The flat fee was $450. The additional cost for materials was $50. He showed up at 9am and was finished by 3pm.

If you are looking to have your interior home painted, do not look any further than S&J. The work was done just as Jerry described it would, and for the exact amount of the estimate. The crew was professional, courteous and on time every day, and they had fun while doing the work. The walk thru took less than 5 minutes because the job was so well done.

S&J did a wonderful job of of making the changes to my upstairs bathroom in my head, come to fruition. The ceramic tile was installed beautifully along with the vanity, lighting, medicine cabinet, floor vent, towel and toilet paper racks. I was so happy to have the border removed and a fresh coat of paint on the walls. We had an issue with the install of the medicine cabinet and the workers helped me decide what to do quickly and it turned out great. Everyone who comes by my house and uses that bathroom tells me how great it looks. I just picked out the things to go in the bathroom, S&J are the true super stars! This was the second job they have done for me and I will definitely use them again.

Everything went awesome, actually - the crew was prompt and professional and completed the work on-time and on-budget. I even had to postpone some of the work when my materials didn't get delivered on time, and they were willing to accommodate all that very easily. Super impressed, I've hired S&J twice and I'd definitely do it a third time if I need anything!

This was a remodel of a small master bathroom which needed updating (house built in 1980's). I purchased materials from Lowes and S&J completed the labor. The S&J team were professional, hard working, and able to adapt and overcome to meet the challenges that came up with an old, outdated bathroom.
