So as a former disgruntled employee I'd like to inform people considering this company on Mr. Seidels moral and ethical values as a supposed Christian. I worked for Jeff as a cabinetmaker/finish carpenter and while very satisfied with my employment overall one day a request was made for a job I was not hired for which I gladly took part in. The job was for a very very wealthy client and once I saw what was happening I expressed my concerns to him and offered another solution which he then responded that if I didn't do it I was fired. As the mother of my child was 7 months pregnant so I did it and predictably was badly injured. He then fired me and worse yet went in front of a court of law and lied which thankfully the judge saw through and granted me my compensation case. I have since lost my leg due to complications and hope you consider this before hiring this company. I will certainly lose my life eventually due to complications from his and hope you consider this before hiring

Description of Work: Asked for a quote on drywalling over lathe and plaster, 80% of our home. Never heard back from them for 2 weeks. The quote was more than 3x what our other quote was. I felt the rep. didn't know his business. Had a hard time answering some of my questions.

Response from JB Sterling Co
We appreciate the opportunity to quote on projects when asked, some bids are awarded to us, others we are not. We work hard to be as expeditious with the delivery of the quote to potential customer as we can. I apologize if the timeliness of this quote did not met the callers expectations. What's more concerning is the use of this site (Angi's List) as a forum to complain about not accepting our contract or proposal. Unfortunately, we were never able to show this caller the quality of work and added value they would have recieved if they worked with J.B. Sterling Co.
Original plan was to build upon existing decking of second floor covered porch. However, the contractor discovered that the original decking was not attached to the house due to poor original construction and complexity of original ductwork. The contractor removed all original decking, subfloor framing and insulation, and developed a plan to rebuild the ductwork which would allow the new subfloor to be properly attached to the house. New floor insulation (12 in.), floor joists, and subflloor were installed; new 6 in. walls were put up (existing roof structure was satisfactory); and new cedar siding was installed. The windows removed from the house wall plus one matching new one were installed in the new room, and the existing sliding door was replaced with a new solid-core door, with the remaining space filled in. The insulation was closed cell foam and fiberglass. Finally, the new room was drywalled. The owner finished the interior. Since some rot was discovered in the roof and the original roofing was 20 years old, the contractor was hired to reroof the house. The contractor's men cleaned up at the end of each day, and hauled away the construction debris.
Description of Work: Enclosed a covered porch to create a bedroom. Services performed included: removal of existing decking and framing, sliding door, and windows; construction of new walls and floor; cedar siding; rebuild of original heating ducts; installation of windows and door; insulation of new room; drywalling; staining of new siding; reroof of entire house.

The customer service and work done was excellent. Picking out colors was hard for me, so they gave me a list of different houses they had done work on so I could drive by and see how they looked. They also gave me a list of references I could check out. There was no hard sale by them. When work started they were always on time and very professional and easy to deal with. Any problems or questions I had they dealt with immediately. We have nothing but high praise for this company. It is 2 years since this work was done and we have had no problems at all.
Description of Work: We had 19 new windows installed. Vinyl siding put on house, attached breezeway and attached garage. 3 fiberglass doors to replace 3 outside doors and 3 new storm doors installed. New gutters and trim installed plus vinyl shutters on windows on front of house.

Refer to above service request.
Description of Work: Jim Cauley responded to a request for an estimate for some siding repair and structural replacement, as well as some minor roofing work. The response was almost immediate, and he gave a very thorough itemization of the repairs required. His price was just a little higher than a second contractor and that's the only reason I didn't have him do the job. I was very impressed with him and his company and would certainly consider him in the future.

Description of Work: Set an appointment for them to come out for an estimate. Showed up on time, looked over the job was not able to write an estimate at appointment , contractor had to consult with peer back at shop . The contractor looked like it was a job that was sub-pare to what they normally quote . Waited for estimate in the mail, it came close to (2) weeks later the estimate was for $ 500 dollars. The Job was done by another contractor a few days before their estimate arrived and charged $ 135 for the complete job. The contractor that did the work gave an estimate before doing the job on the spot. The window and molding around the window look's amazing!

Response from JB Sterling Co
I'd like to thank the member for Intialially contacting J.B. Sterling Co. to quote on his kitchen window project. We treat every customer and project with the highest respect and urgency. From our timely appoinment arrival and subsequent timely estimate mailing, our strict company protocol was followed. Unfortunately we are not awarded each and every project we bid on. The reasons vary, for example: the bids may not be "apples to apples", one of the bidders is not fully insured, one company may have a higher overhead structure. We have no way to evaluate what caused the differences here, as the project was written up and completed on the same day. Often times during the bid process we are asked by the customer to help them work through and compare all the bids to create a level "playing field". We continue to work on keeping those lines of communication open where ever and when ever we can. When a potential customer is disappointed with our company, it effects us all and for that I'd like to express my appologies. J.B. Sterling Co. remains committed to providing the highest quality of service and craftsmanship, competitively in the industry. Jeffrey Seidel President

We signed an agreement on Wednesday May 4,2011 with JB Sterling to remove our roof; supplies were in our driveway Thursday the next day. Friday morning three men were stripping off our roof. They finished Monday early evening on May 9th, 2011. The workers were extremely courteous and worked very hard the whole time they were here. This company did everything they said they would do. We are very pleased with the work they did and would easily call them back to do more work on other areas of our home.

Totally professional from start to finish.
Description of Work: I had water damage to the ceiling in our dining room. They covered the entire ceiling with new 1/4" drywall, covered the floors and removed fixtures. Another person did the mudding the next day. He did a perfect job and even repaired a couple of other areas that were not part of the deal at no extra charge.
All of the individuals involved in the job were very professional and pleasant to have in our home. The areas being worked were well isolated from the rest of the house to avoid dust leakage. Clean up on a daily basis was very thorough. Jim Cauley, who supervised the job, was in frequent contact with us to schedule work, to inspect the work, and to insure our satisfaction. He was very pleasant to interact with and was the individual who directed the investigation of the problem and made the decision on what the appropriate solution was.
Description of Work: We have had a problem with peeling paint in two skylight wells for several years. Prior contractors were unable to diagnose and fix the problem. J.B. Sterling came in and investigated and concluded that air flow in the attic was too low and that condensation in winter was leading to dampness around the skylight wells, and consequent peeling paint. Areas of mold in roof sheathing were treated. Problems with insulation blocking soffit vents were corrected, additional soffit vents and box vents in the roof were added, and damaged drywall in the skylight wells replaced. Finally the new drywall was plastered, sanded, and painted. Separately, two double pane windows which had lost their seals were replaced.
They did an excellent work. They fixed the issue with the door right away. I had some other problem and they came out and fixed it. When I didn?t like something, they had the guy come back and redo the whole thing. They cleaned everything up.
Description of Work: JB Sterling Company put in windows, doors, siding, gutters and all the trim last year. They did some roof repair as well.

We asked JB Sterling to give us a quote on a complete tear-off and new roof, because they have an A+ on BBB.org, and an A here on Angie's List. We did not ultimately choose to have JB Sterling replace our roof, mainly because we plan to sell next year and we didn't want the "Cadillac" of roofs. We do have some ventilation issues, which we explained to Jim, the JB Sterling rep. Jim was very pleasant and thorough, taking the time to fully explain all of our options and providing us with 2 different quotes, depending on which option we wanted. We even had a home inspector review Jim's quote, and he liked the ventilation solution Jim came up with (which none of the other roofers had offered). However, the price was too far beyond our budget range, although if we planned to stay in our current house until the day we died then we almost certainly would have gone with Jim's ventilation solution. Based on our one-time encounter with Jim, I would highly recommend people looking for a new roof to get a quote from JB Sterling, and be sure to ask for Jim!

Drywall and painting job was done meticulously and cleanly. The area was cleaned up and left tidy. Painter was kind, polite and easy to deal with.
Description of Work: I use J.B. Sterling for all of my remodeling/repair needs. I have nothing but the highest praise for Jeff Seidel. This report is for some drywall/repainting, but everything I have had them do, from roof repair, masonry, plumbing and even a water heater emergency, is done with utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Mr. Seidel and his entire staff are friendly, helpful and patient with all questions and concerns. I trust this company to arrange all the details of repair work and I don't have to worry about anything. They are the best! I would and do recommend them to everyone. Prices are reasonable and competitive especially for the quality of work performed.
