Description of Work: I contacted JR regarding a steel porch repair. They were very professional and courteous. They arrived on site promptly as scheduled to evaluate the job, and provided an estimate 4 days later. Unfortunately, their estimate was 25% to 35% higher than the other 4 estimates we received. Also, they indicated that the repair would take 4 days to complete, which was 2 days longer than all other companies.

Description of Work: They repaired and installed concrete tiles on my front steps and porch. They also repaired and replace the concrete driveway curtain. I called last week because the winter had been rough and a couple of things needed to be touched up. They came and did the work the same week. I am now using them to repair and seal my driveway. They are a little pricey. But you get what you pay for. These are professional who do quality work. They arrive on time and work hard. Joe is in constant contact to assure that the work is being done according to the customers desire and satisfaction. If you want the job done right this is the company that can get it done.

Description of Work: JB Contracting was great - we needed sidewalk replaced and yet maintain access to the driveway. Therefore our scheduling needs were a little crazy. JB was willing to work around our needs. The crew arrived promptly at the appointed time, worked quickly and professionally. The concrete squares look great. You could tell that they took pride in their work by the attention to detail that they showed Would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of concrete or masonry work. We will use them in the future

Description of Work: They replaced the top layer of bricks lining a walkway and the cement of that walkway. They also power washed the rest of the stoop so all the bricks would look new. We had a terrible problem with weather and when they power washed, the new cement they'd poured got gouged. They tried to patch it but the result was way below our standards.(theirs and mine) They returned and polished the cement to minimize the patched look and this worked well. I am now waiting to see how it holds up through the winter. I am confident that it will weather well. I know that Joe of JB is conscientious about maintaining his standards and his A rating. |n

Description of Work: They replaved much of our sidewalk and the entrance to our driveway. There were added complications because a Parks Department permit was needed because trees were impacted. Joe was incredibly efficient and professional. No time was wasted. He first assessed the work from a picture, then came out and looked at it. He met with the Parks Dept representative on site (who felt comfortable because he was familiar with Joe's work), then he scheduled, said it was a one day job, stuck to the schedule, and called periodically to be sure everything was going well. This company is terrific!

Description of Work: Complete tear off and replacement of shingles on roof w/all necessary flashing, vents, gutters and leaders. The job was done in two days. Great experience from the moment I spoke to Joe Battaglia (owner)who gave me the quote and answered my many questions right down to the team, headed by John, who were on site. They were prompt and worked efficiently. It rained the same night they finished the job and we had torrential rains two consecutive nights a week after the job was completed and listening to the gutters doing their thing kept me at ease knowing no rain would be coming inside my home. I would definitely use them again.

Dear Member, We all here at J.B. Contracting are Extremely disappointed with all that happened with the project that was running Extremely well for the first eight months and then went terribly wrong but if I may defend the Very negative Comments you posted here on behalf of my company & staff for all other Angies List members to read and determine if your defamation of our company is warranted: 1) The fact that neither you, your wife or the Designer you hired could make up your mind DEFINETLY was the Nucleus of this problem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2) The fact that you are a Micro manager and did NOT listen to your Architect, Engineers, Designers, Myself, And even your own wife DEFINETLY lead our contract to a state of chaos. 3) I even went as far as Hiring an independent project Manager "Mike" who everybody Loved and especially got along well with your wife & architect who you initially were pleased with and also eventually you started in with threatened, & terrorized to the point that he quit two weeks into the project. 4) Even after multiple meetings with all the above partys involved during your daily panic attacks with the entire Staff & myself here at J.B. Contracting you quite frankly are not Satisfiable with no one................ We sadly had to part ways CLEARLY because of your constant threats, accusations, lies, false claims of quality deficiency (that even your own architect, Designer & wife Disagreed with you on) and even thruout this all I belived I could satisfy you but in all my 30 + Years of being in this business I have never encountered someone as unique as yourself and PRAY I never will again................................................

Description of Work: For a residential property, this was a large concrete job. We used JB to replace over 50 linear feet of curbing and replace sidewalk. Also two large concrete yard areas were replaced and regraded to protect house from rain water during heavy storms. It was a five day job producing two containers full of debris. The work was done efficiently and safely with high regard for my family and my neighbors. The entire area was power washed and well cleaned afterwards. Best attempts were made to protect my wrought iron fence and the crew was careful enlarging a tree pit to protect the tree. I would recommend this contractor.

Description of Work: They removed the old covering on the front concert porch. Repaired the sub floor and installed grey stone tile on the porch and two front stairs. They also repaired the side work and installed a new apron for the driveway.they arrived on time ,worked well for two days and completed the clean-up. I also like the followup calls to ensure that I was satified with the completed work. I think the price was fair for the amount of work involved. I will use them again when I change my asphalt driveway to concert.

Dear member, I am a bit confused about your negative comments here on Angies list which definetly dose not coincide with our multiple phone discussions but if I may go on the record to clarify exactly what was discussed between us so other Angies list members may be able to determine for themselves how I run this company: 1 I was waiting on your choices of materials before I could present to you a formal written proposal for the work in discussion. 2 The prices we discussed were simply estimated based on average materials based on past projects actual square foot costs. 3 To say that we were $3000 more than your other estimates based on a $20-$35,000.00 is hardly 7-10 % of a difference which is definetlly within reason assuming we were being compared to a legitimate licensed & insured contractor and not just some fly by night operation. However if you would get back to us with the materials list you actually want to use we would be more than happy to present our formal proposal to you as we look forward to serving you soon. Best Regards, Joe Battaglia

Description of Work: Nothing, except give a bid to replace a stoop in front of my row house ranch style home in Brooklyn NY. I had two quotes prior to theirs and already know that my steeps were salvageable, J.B's rep. said they needed to be replaced. Their were some other things he said needed to be done I did not agree with using commom scene, and what was stated from the previous contractors. However, I would have made these changes including the steeps to get the job done right. When he gave me his price I took a fence. I could not believe he quoted $12,000.00. I beleive it was because I'm a. women and he thought I did't know any better. His bid was $4,000.00 more than my first bid and $8,000.00 more than my second. Outrageous!!!! I ask is there not any honest trustworthy people in the world I understand you work hard for your money and so do I!!!!!!

Dear Member, I am personally quite shocked at your comments here on Angies list as I personally came to visit you and discussed in great detail all the issues you presented to me with the masonry/ concrete work you wanted to have done but if I make clarify a few topics so that other Angies list members may be able to decide for themselves if your bold statements against our company & I are warranted; 1 I never disrespected or made you feel uncomfortable because your a "Woman" 2 after listening to your requests I showed you all the areas that were above & beyond repairs particularly the sides brick cheek walls that are leaning outward @ 4'' and appear ready to fall over that you insisted can be repaired which clearly are beyond repairing. 3 I clearly showed you how most of your existing limestone treads are cracked, weathered, blistered, back pitched and quite frankly beyond your expected repair. 4 I showed you in my field estimate on how I arose to the cost of @ $12,000.00 based on dumpster rental fee, materials to do the project as needed, labor costs, overhead & profit. Quite frankly we here at J.B. Contracting were taken back after reading your rather strong negative statements when if you look at our track record of Honesty, Integrity, Pride in our workmanship, Commitment to quality, and making the client happy no matter what the case may be perhaps you should have called me for a more detailed explanation of my estimate based on my over 34 plus years of hands on experience I could have educated you a bit more before you choose to just defame our company. But any how we appreciate you calling us for the estimate as it was very nice to have met you as we hope we will be able to better serve you in the future. Best Regards, Joe Bataaglia
