Hired to repair or replace exterior door. There was daylight coming in below the door. The person who gave the estimate assured us they could repair. The people who showed up were not properly informed. They completed work, but it didn't solve problem. The company is almost impossible to get ahold of. They have never returned a call. We spent hours to finally get someone to come out. That person recommended we replace the whole door/frame after we already paid over 1K for repair. After months of leaving messages and calling we finally gave up.
Description of Work: Repair or replace exterior door that was rotted and settled. Eliminate gap in door frame allowing weather and animals to get in basement. Plus replace door to garage.

We were quite pleased with the initial consultation visit with Jesse Wertjes (and daughter) during which we discussed and planned for a series of interior and exterior changes, fixes and upgrades. Their administrative team communicated in a timely manner with regards to scheduling and billing processes. Our project team (David Ayala and crew) were always very punctual and affable and worked very hard despite the soaring temperatures and humidity during the three day period.
Description of Work: Interior: Repositioning an interior laundry room door (from inward to outward opening). Exterior: - Removal and replacement of exterior attic louvered vents - Re-secured cladding nails on siding rake boards - Front porch portico area (Softwash, re-caulk and paint; Apply sealant and PVC trim to porch roof columns) - Garage door framing (softwash; repaint)

We have used JW Home Improvements several times. The most recent time, was a pesky leak in the master bathroom. After getting an estimate from Josh Metz, I was felt that I was ready for anything. The crew from JW, Cesar and Jimmy came to the house, assessed the situation and got to work. The crew determined that they could make all the repairs in half the time. That had a really benefit to the budget. The whole time Darrick, the project coordinator, stayed on top of the progress and ensured that I was in the loop. By the time the JW was finished, there was no evidence that there had ever been leak! Everything looked great!!! Whenever we have home repair, cleaning or remodeling, JW is our first call.

We were very pleased with the quality of work delivered on our project to repair our indoor stair railing. Over a period of two decades our cat had used the railing posts as a scratching post. We were concerned that the repair might not be esthetically pleasing without a full replacement. We were delighted that a pleasing and economical solution was delivered for this project in the promised timeframe. The assigned worker communicated well, offered options and delivered beyond our expectations.
Description of Work: Replaced two posts on wooden interior staircase railing and stained to match existing railing. The work included 12 hours of labor plus materials.

The entire process from scheduling the estimate to getting the work performed was always customer focused. Everyone was on time, polite, professional and complete. Thomas and William, who did the work on the house, were amazing. They communicated their plans and progress and left the space cleaner than when they started. I would recommend JW Home Improvement!
Description of Work: I had a variety of jobs done. They replaced a section of fence and repaired other broken boards, cleaned gutters and placed gutter guards, repaired a door lock, replaced weather stripping around several doors, and replaced a toilet seat.

I was very impressed with the attention to detail and the commitment to delivering exemplary service. As an example, I was having a bathroom tub re-caulked. After they did it, the technician (Ben) said he didn't think the color of the standard caulk looked good, he checked in with me about it, and redid it the next day. One aspect of the project also ended up taking longer than expected and they couldn't get it done in the projected timeframe, but Ben and Marcos made sure that they were there first thing the following day to make sure it got done and I didn't have to wait weeks to get back on the schedule. They also said at the beginning that they'll leave everything as clean a they found it. I've heard that from contractors before, but this was the first time it was actually true! I couldn't have been happier with the quality of the work.
Description of Work: Replaced a bathroom sink faucet and a bathtub faucet, installed a short exterior railing/fence, re-caulked a bathroom tub and toilet, finished an external closet we had installed previously to make it look built-in, replaced and painted some trim around the backdoor that had started to rot.

Cesar and Richard did an excellent job on the repairs to the walls in my main bathroom and a bedroom. They painted the ceiling, walls and the trim. They also were able to better secure the plumbing access panel with magnets and a handle, so it stays firmly in place and looks much better. They also replaced the bathroom fan and caulked the tub (which was not part of the original scope of work). They were punctual and worked hard to finish the repairs within the time that Josh estimated. Overall, a great experience.
Description of Work: Fixed cracks in plaster, some other plaster damage and a hole caused by plumbing repair in a bedroom and bathroom, reinstalled medicine chest (centered and recessed into wall), painted walls, ceiling and trim in bedroom and bathroom. Modified the plumbing access panel with a handle and magnets, so that it would stay in place. Caulked tub and replaced bathroom fan.

Pedro Yac and Kent Morrison did drywall, painted the entire condo, replaced light fixtures, removed old appliances and did a great job of it all. Fernando was the estimator and remained accessible and engaged throughout. Weldon Harris wore several hats in the office, and was the go-between when I needed answers. He was knowledgeable, helpful and timely. A great team all around.

They were everything we wanted. They quickly re-assessed and sent out the workman the next day who finished what we were looking to have. Over all it's an organization who wants to please.
Description of Work: Had several holes in the basement drywall. Repaired and painted it quickly and professionally. Also needed to re-tape and re-caulk the master bathroom. We had some communications there, but I checked back to the main office and they had the repairman return the next day. The work was well done and the bathroom looks great. Friendly service.

Had a great experience doing a bunch of jobs around the house that we had put off for too long. Thomas and another gentleman whose name i forget came for a couple days and they did a wide range of things we had asked them to do- fixing two doors that haddnt worked, replacing and painting boards on our porch, fixing a handrail, etc etc. While they were here they noticed a section of shingles were coming down and they were able to fix that quickly. They did it all very professionally, swiftly, and good quality and humor. It feels like a new house - i wish we had them come sooner! We're definitely going to have them do more work in the future.

They were also very accommodating when updates were made to the original project. Pedro and Christian did all of the actual work. They were very punctual, efficient and respectable.
