JB General Contracting

JB contacted me immediately and provided an estimate. I received three bids from different companies and selected them because I felt they were the most professional. They worked with my complicated schedule and weather. They build the metal frame first and then poured the concrete. They had to return to paint the railings as it wasn't done. We had some hiccups during the process but I was satisfied until now. Two months later I could see a bit of rust showing through the thin layer of concrete and they came back and fixed it. Now a year later, I'm having the same rust problem (which is the reason I replaced the original stairs). The problem now is they're not responding to any of my messages or emails. I sent them photos, have called them and even thought people pick up the phone and record the messages no one returns the calls. The job has a two year warranty so I'm in every right to demand a correction on their job. I'm frustrated with their lack of response.

did not use them for this job - however, I will use them in the future. great company to deal with.

well they did a good job but were poor in response to damage caused by broken pipe of rain sewage pipe that flooded basement it was the worst problem I had with them and even after they fixed it (the pipe) the patch job they did leaked then they came and put some kind of silicone on the wall and base of the home which seems to work but I think it should have been redone but that is my fault for letting it go

Excellent results, fast service. Just communicate with him, give him your timeline and he'll give you options. Joe is very efficient and very knowledgeable.

They said that they would be there at 7:30, and at 7:30 the door bell rang. They were very good and efficient! There were three guys that did the work and not one minute was wasted with them standing around. The clean up was remarkable! They finished the job in one day! The finish product turned out better than we expected. I would have them back tomorrow if I need them. They are extremely friendly guys! I couldn't ask for anything better, my wife and I are very pleased. For the work was asked for them, I thought the price was very reasonable.

Absolutely the top of the line in excellence. (I have worked with numerous contractors in my profession). The JB crew was experienced and well trained. The foreman/mason practices his art with perfection. Always on time. Finished in less time than expected. When they did inadvertant damage, it was repaired immediately. Clean-up was complete.

JB General Construction was good. If Joe was out of the office, he would call you back if you left a message. They came when they said they were going to come. They got the job done within one day, managing to clean up after themselves and finished it well. I had them come back as I didn't like how the stoop was built around the two railings that were already there. They were going home and then the owner, Joe, came out to collect the other check. I showed him that I wasn't happy with how it looked near the railings. He called up the man who worked on the stoop to come back out and smooth out the concrete making it look much nicer.

Good masonry technique delivered in record time

They never did the estimate. we spoke on the phone at least 8 times. They didn't call when they said they would and never did the estimate. I have emails to prove it. They said they would on several occasions but never followed through. They wasted several hours of my time. Very unprofessional.

Initial phone call resulted in prompt visit to the home. Within a week's time, the project was completed. Workers arrived early and job was finished by lunchtime.

Started @ 7 and were finished by 3, workers were friendly and professional. Sidewalk and stoop look great.

The overall experience was good. The were professional from start to finish and were concern about the consumer happiness. The took approximately six days from start to finish.

Joe came by on Thursday 4/11 in the afternoon, gave me an estimate and at 7AM the next day there was a crew at my door and finished by 10AM so far all looks very good.

Great experience overall! Joe came over, understood job well, provided sound advice and started job few days later. The team worked quickly, efficiently, and left the work area spotless! Entire job was done in a three day period and looks great. We are happy we found a reliable contractor to work with.

beautifully! prompt, courteous, professional. overall, a great experience w/ a contractor and will definitely use again. couldn't be happier w/ their work.

I can't express how satisfied I am. The workers just finished the job and I just had to write my review. I am new to home ownership and this was my first time having to hire a contractor. I have to admit I was not sure what to expect as you always hear about people who have terrible experiences with contractors. That was definitely not my experience with J.B.General Contractors. My first experience with Joe was, wow he?s a fast talker and while this can put off most people, I knew Joe was a businessman who did not have time to waste. Joe came out personally looked over what I needed to get done, took some measurement and gave me a quote and simply said to let him know when and if I wanted to proceed. I felt no pressure from him to contract them. As soon as I agreed to contract them, Danny sent over the contract. They even arranged to get the City permit to fix the sidewalk. They took care of everything. Joe kept me informed through the process. He called Saturday to say they would be here Monday morning, and as promised, first thing Monday morning he called to confirm the team was on their way. Tony and the team arrived and were working by 7:30 am. Tony was a total sweetheart. I have to say each and every member of Joe?s team was professional, courteous and efficient. They knew what they were doing. They removed all the old concrete driveway and sidewalk while keeping the surrounding neighbors area clean. Through the whole process Tony kept checking that I was pleased with the work. When all the debris was removed, team proceeded to lay down the new concrete driveway. Team paid attention to removing a long patch of earth beside my entry steps while retaining a small patch of earth so that I keep a smaller flowerbed. Watching the whole process was exciting. They were meticulous with every step. You can definitely see they have been doing this for years. Upon completion they even barricaded the area so no one would walk on the wet concrete. As soon as the job was complete, Joe telephoned to make sure I was satisfied with the work, and I am. TWO THUMBS UP! As they say first impression are everything and now my home has curb appeal. With spring here, I can?t wait to see my roses blooming in my flowerbed. I definitely would look to hiring JB General Contractors to do additional work in my home. GREAT JOB TEAM!

The services of JB General Contracting started when I received a telephone call about my inquiry for their services. Not only were they polite and courteous but they exemplified what it means to follow up with your potential customer. This alone was impressive but once I met the crew and saw the outcome of their hard work I was truely impressed and satisified. They arrived early, prepared the area space where they would be working, and unloaded their equipment quickly and quietly. Every now and then I would pop up to see the progress being made and the crew would answer my questions and explain what they were doing and what the next step would be. Upon completion I was given a final review of the work performed and received a follow up call regarding service within 30 minutes. All good traits and well worth my recommendation!

Honestly, I was worried about the whole process; worried about the new bricks not matching the existing ones, and worried about the quality of the iron fence not being comparable with the existing fence. Joe assured me that it will look great, and will have everything matching as humanly possible. His crew came out to prep and clean up the area, trimmed back the roots from the oak tree; power washed the existing brick wall (which had moss on it) to its original bright color. His brick and iron team members are professional and very knowledgeable and confident about their craft. Joe came by to inspect the process and wanted to know each time what I thought about the work done. I am very pleased with the job that JB General Contractors did. Everything looks uniformed, bricks match in color, old and new. The new iron fence has the same design as the old one. His team made my house look like a hurricane Sandy never touched it.

We are very pleased with the work that was done and will use this company again when we decide to do the cement work. He was very professional and reliable.

JB removed an ancient worn out driveway and garage slab and replaced with a beautiful new concrete and cobblestone border. I was very happy with Joe and his crew from start to finish. Joe showed up on time and gave us an estimate (which proved to be very competitive with others) and once we were ready to start scheduled a date and finished the job in a timely fashion. Quality work, dependable and fairly priced.

JB General Contracting were punctual, knowledgeable, they did a good job, they were courteous. They went above and beyond, I am disabled and they did things that they wouldn't have normally done for people who aren't incapacitated. I am hiring them again for another job now to repair the back wall of the building. They were really very helpful.

It was a great experience. I went from hiring them for a minor job to expanding to numerous jobs.

It's worth mentioning that the work began long before the crew actually arrived to begin demolition. Joe originally came to estimate the job last spring. It was clear that I was in desperate need of a new driveway. Before I knew it, three months had passed and I still had not followed up to have the work scheduled. I finally contacted Joe and he came back to take another look at the work to be done. This time I was going to follow through because I really wanted the job finished before winter. Joe's staff immediately followed up with a written estimate and email. Unfortunately due to work related commitments, repairs on my home fell to the bottom of the priority list. Getting in touch with me, let alone actually speaking with me, was nearly impossible. Joe and his staff continued to follow up (respectfully, not in the annoying telemarketer way) until they actually contacted me in December. Miraculously, Joe came back to my house yet again, this time with a contract in hand. The price was fair and there was no question in my mind that Joe would do exactly what he had committed to doing. His patience and promptness during THREE visits regarding this job spoke for itself. Joe called once after checking the weather to let me know that he could begin work with no concerns about temperature/precipitation effecting the new concrete. Before I knew it, a crew showed up and began working precisely when I was told they would, their only request being running water and an electrical outlet. All demolition was complete and concrete was poured on day one. Frankly I was a little skeptical of having the work done in the winter but the crew took the extra precaution of covering the freshly poured concrete with special blankets to protect it and accelerate curing (who knew?!!?). They worked cleanly and quickly disturbing not even a single holiday decoration which were still on display! Before I knew it my atrocious driveway and eyesore garden edging were replaced with clean even concrete and beautiful cobblestone. Day two, the steps were repaired and minor finish work was completed. Joe and his office staff called several times to check in during the job to confirm that I was happy and had no concerns. Joe even emailed me knowing that I could be difficult to contact by phone. After the work was complete Joe paid a final visit during which we spoke about the next phase of my ongoing project. I can't thank Joe and the rest of the team at JB enough for their patience and follow up. They did a great job and I couldn't be more pleased!

When life throws you a curve ball, you need the right people, people you can trust, to help you. This is what happened when unexpectedly I needed to be in a wheelchair. Since the entrance to my home has many steps, I wanted to have a ramp built so that I could exit my home. From my internet research, I read that there were specific measurements related to the dimensions of a ramp. This literature was confusing and complicated. So I called Joe at JB Contracting. I had used his company before and I hoped that his team would have the expertise to build a ramp for me. Joe sent his Project Manager (Moe) to talk to me. He understood exactly what I needed and he said he knew the required specifications to make a safe and compliant ramp. I approved the project and the timeline. JB Contracting finished the job ahead of schedule. After the completion, Joe followed up to make sure I was happy with the job. While I loved my ramp, I asked him to do some cosmetic work to the nearby fence. He sent his team over and they put the finishing touches on this job to my complete satisfaction. I am very, very happy with my ramp. There are no words to express my current feeling of independence.

We did not hire this contractor. His manners over the phone were very rude to begin with, he rushed me of the phone, was speaking to other people while I was describing the work and had an attitude about him. Even through this, I decided to meet him in person with hopes he was just caught in a moment. He came to our house for an estimate and arrived nearly an hour late. Then when he got there, he told us that he wouldn't do the work we wanted him to do (which would have been fine because we were open to plenty of ideas but he disregarded our plans completely), we could only do it his way; his tone was very condescending then, when he explained his idea and gave us an estimate that was DOUBLE what we had been quoted by another contractor; a few thousand over I could understand but we were previously quoted $15,000 -$30,000 for the same job seems absurd. I got the vibe that he didn't want to do this job in the first place especially when his parting words were "good Luck" instead of "I look forward to hearing from you".
