John did our retaining wall, garden wall and patio area and everything came out beautiful. I Definitely recommend John and his crew - they are hard working, kept a clean jobsite, prompt, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Even my neighbors were very impressed at how professional they were. I definitely recommend them and will use them for any future work. Thank you John!!!!

My basement walls and floor were in very bad condition from many years of moisture problems seeping through the cement. John’s crew stuccoed and dri locked the basement walls. They also stuccoed the floor and then painted with epoxy point. They went out of their way to find where water was coming in and addressed the condition. Also found a crack in the top of my chimney and fixed it, sealed around the sill plate, put in a dry well for drainage, re-pointed the bricks in the front of the house and front stoop. Marcello and the guys were very hardworking, neat and respectful of my home. I would definitely hire John Whigham for any construction projects that may arise in the future. Thank you guys, you did an excellent job.

John Whigham company came when they said they would and cleaned up very well. The work, roofing for my home and garage, replacing the shingles on the front of the house plus some minor pointing work on the front porch and walkway, was done quickly. Though one of the shingles fell off about a month later (the shingles on the front dormer) they came quickly and reinstalled it properly. So, why the poor review? 5 years after the job was done I had a leak in my kitchen. I have had 5 professional roof installers come and all of them stated that the work done around the rear dormer was improper. They all independently stated that the flashing was done improperly, that is, the step flashing was never changed and there was no ice flashing installed and this resulted in a leak. Worse, the labor guarantee was for ONLY ONE YEAR which is abysmal when compared to the industry standard of 5 to 10 years. He refused to fix the problem and so now the entire rear roof has to be removed and redone. Additionally, though I should have done more homework at the time to compare prices, he overcharged based on my subsequent researching, by almost $7,000 and this was confirmed by other roofers who were subsequently asked for an estimate. He is always trying to upsell, a minor criticism, but it can be very annoying as I get the feeling that he is more interested in making a buck than doing the work. Based on his warranty alone I never should have contracted with John Whigham and I do not think anyone should.

John and his crew did a great job on replacing our old steps with new. His price was very fair. He checks on his workers as they do the job. They clean up immediately as well. I would highly recommend John to do work for you.

While he was here and had his workers putting my new patio down, two of my neightbors used him, and was very happy with his work. John is a good guy. I would recommend him to anyone.

Once this contractor received the last payment, I requested that he return to the job to fix some things. He told me he would be back but now after 3 contacts and a month later, he has not returned my phone calls or texts. Andy, John s Uncle was our salesman and was so very nice. A promise of leaving your property the way it was found or better was not the fact. Very sad to have a company that comes across family oriented and respectful of their clients to ignore the client once their money collected. We thought we found a company we would use for future projects but sadly we will not be using them nor recommending them.

We hired JWHI to do our front patio/stoop and fence. Not only did we get a great deal, but these guys do great work. WE LOVE THE PAVED PATIO. These guys worked hard, in 95 degree weather. They were very meticulous and showed great attention to details. I was hesitant to contact them at first because we are in Suffolk County. It was a great surprise to me after being referred by a friend that they did come out to my neck of the woods, and boy am I glad they did! We will be doing our siding next year, and you can bet your bottom dollar these are the guys im calling to do the job right! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you JWHI, our neighbors have been complementing your work! We can't stop looking at it. It transformed the look of our entire home! Great work!!!! Thanks again!

I had a contract, they changed the price when the Foreman arrived, now i have the same issue. the same leak and they are not taking any responsibility. They want $3000 to $5000 to fix the leak that they have not fixed at first place.

I had John Whigham take care of waterproofing my basement. Everything about this project was just fine, from meeting with Bob to review the work and get an estimate through the completion of the job and the final work inspection. The John Whigham work crew were just great hard workers who took care of the job perfectly. They left the work site as clean as it was before they started. I would recommend John Whigham to anyone!
