It never went, because this young man kept stalling me about the time frame in which he could actually come and do the job for me. I am very disappointed because his avoided giving me a direct answer about a date kept me from interviewing other people and possibly finding a person who would have had the time to do my job. thanks Joe your a piece of work for sure

Response from JML Contracting & Cleanup
[Member Name Removed], I am sorry you were not satisfied. However, I respectfully disagree with your assessment of my responsiveness. When I first gave you a quote, I was very upfront that I had several job scheduled and that it would be at least a month before I could do your backsplash, and that if any time freed up in between I would try to do it sooner. You indicated you were ok with that time frame, were not in any rush, and had in fact not even picked out the tile yet. You followed up a week later via text, and I called you back so that we could speak personally. I received another text upset that I did not get back to you, and when I said I left you a voicemail you said you had no way to retrieve voicemails. I then told you I could do your job in two weeks and would contact you closer to that time to set up a specific start date. You texted me after only one week, but stated "two" weeks had passed and I didn't give you a date yet. I respectfully pointed out that only one week had passed, but since you were anxious about the time frame I committed right then to starting the next Saturday. You asked me what time and I said 8 am. A couple days later you texted that my services were no longer needed. Again, I apologize for any perceived miscommunication, as I did when you told me you no longer needed me to do the job. I reviewed all our communications and still feel I was very clear and upfront about my schedule. I take pride in my work and having an excellent reputation/reviews. Regardless, I do not like to leave any customer dissatisfied, so for that I am sorry. Besides, your review states "F" for quality, which of course is not accurate since I did not do the work. Joe

Joe was extremely responsive, friendly, and prompt. I emailed him on a Friday and he sent me a quote the next day. Came out Sunday and started fixing my ceiling. He came back Monday and Tuesday to finish and make sure it was done right. Also he was very reasonable price wise and did not try to rip us off like other contractors we've received estimates from. Overall, I would highly recommend him and will use him for any jobs I need moving forward.
Joe was great! He remodeled my mother's bathroom in Holiday City. He gave a prompt, free estimate. He was always on time and worked the hours needed to get the job done in the time he stated. His price was fair and gave my mom a senior discount. Him and his helpers cleaned up every day. The work done is beautiful! Joe was very respectful and kind to my mother and I would definitely use him again!

Description of Work: Replaced kitchen floor, installed kitchen wall tile and repaired cabinets.
August 23, 2015 I have yet to hear from him. I originally contacted JML on July 3. We were on a tight schedule since my husband is having knee replacement surgery on September 2 and I needed this work done before that. I had to hire another contractor (not through Angie?s list since I have not found it very effective) that does a lot of work in my village. It is now a work in process but Joe Lewenski of JML just wasted my time without the courtesy of a reason. I have to give him a BIG F for this unethical behavior.

The floor is perfect! Joe came on time, did what he said he would, did it extremely well, cleaned up the mess. Will absolutely call him again in the future. Don't hesitate to call him - I highly recommend his work and his ethic!
Description of Work: Installed new sub-floor in bathroom. While installing laminate flooring, it was discovered that the sub-floor had some rotten spots. Joe came right away with an estimate and was kind enough to rearrange his schedule so that his part of the job did not hold up the rest of the installation.

Thank you. I am glad we were able to get the floor in for you without delaying your other job.I look forward to working with you again in the future! Joe
Tiled bathroom floor, repaired shower tile, repaired section of sheetrock, installed new sink, cabinet, mirror and light fixture, painted, installed two safety bars.
Description of Work: My family recently had some word done by JML Cleanup, and we couldn't be happier. The owner, Joe, is a skilled professional with years of experience. He works at steady pace yet keeps a careful and meticulous eye. Joe is more than just a technical expert. He communicates well with his clients, giving careful thought before answering question and then explaining matters in language a layman can understand. He patiently walks you through any issues and helps you come to the most reasonable option without it being the most expensive one. We are so pleased with the complete remodel he did on our master bathroom, that we are hiring him to do the main bath as well.

[member name removed], thank you very much for your review. I truly enjoyed working with you and [member name removed], and I am we were able to make the repairs in the shower without you having to replace everything. It was great you were able to use the money saved toward the Main bath. I was also glad to hear from you that the stability bars we installed are helping [member name removed]!

Went great. Joe identified the problem of a leaky bathroom due to loose mosaic which was also not propery grouted and sealed. He was able to remove the previous row of mosaic without having to remove any of the standard tile, saving me a ton of money. He even helped me pick out a new mosaic.
Description of Work: Removed broken mosaic tile in bathroom and installed new one.

Thank you [members names] for your repeat business and reviews. I am glad we were able to find a replacement tile that you liked for the shower, and that we did not have to replace any of your tile since it is still quite new. I appreciate your referral to your neighbor as well. Her deck restaining looks great, and she hired us to do new shutters too. Look forward to working with you again soon.

Thank God for honest people. I hired Joe after another contractor messed up on my drywall and spackle. He was able to fix t;he damage in a timely manner, explain to me in simple terms how additional work will be handled and exactly how much it would cost (just about to the penny). Joe also did some painting, putting up base molding in two bedrooms and chair rails and door trim in our dining room. His work was meticulous, yet very reasonably priced and done in a timely manner. We are so pleased, we Will be hiring him soon to install an in the wall fire place and the outside shed for it...at a much better price than the fireplace company wanted. We may even have him custom build the mantle for us.
Description of Work: Repaired support, drywall and spackle over window seat (which previous contractor did incorrectly, causing repeated cracks). Installed base molding in two bedrooms. Installed chair rail and door trim in dining room. Fixed two broken ceramic floor tiles in kitchen.

I have used Joe for several projects over the past year, ranging from $100 gutter repair to putting down pergo and tile.. He always did an excellent job at a great price, so he is the first one I contacted when my house got severely damaged in hurricane Sandy. Joe handled everything noted above. Just as in the smaller jobs he did before this one, he was professional, meticulous, well priced, polite, knowledgable and extrememly helpful in providing suggestions, explaining situations and answering any questions. The fact that he is able to do such a wide varierty of items was invaulable and saved me thousands of dollars over hiring different contractors. I have recommended him to several family members and friends, and they are always as please as I am. And he even helped with tile and color choice when I asked for help...my new bathroom looks amazing!
