J H Home Improvements And Plastering

Jason and his crew recently helped me complete my finished basement and garage ceiling. They came in a very timely manner and had excellent communication. Even went as far as to say if we had any imperfections he would come back and correct it. Personally having previous experience in the construction field, I am extremely pleased with his work and would recommend to anyone.

It went Awesome. Jason is a master Plasterer and his team is amazing. They are clean and have consistently beat every quote the first time. Jason has a great crew, one of his team members did not show up due to illness and Jason called us the night before to let us know he was going to bring in an extra resource to finish on time. He has always meet our deadlines and his communication is great. This job was a tricky half wall with wainscotting underneath. We needed built-ins plaster on the back wall as they were pre-existing. It could not have come out any better. It is odd to see negative reviews on this list, but dealing with the public can be tricky. When it comes to plastering JH is top notch.

First paragraph in a 2016 D review could have been written by me. Crew didn't show up regularly and, although the plaster came out okay, it was, overall, a painful experience. Contract began on June 7th and on June 18th (2 days before scheduled completion date) I had a local homebuilder inspect the job. His opinion was that, at best, we were 50% complete. One and a half days later JH declared the job complete, and wanted payment. I paid, then had to hire a handyman for 3-1/2 days to complete the job.

Jason started off strong and I was hopeful that all would go well because he talks a good talk about experience, punctuality, and doing a good, detail oriented job. I came to learn his work is mediocre to bad (other than plaster) and he is not trustworthy. Jason is good at plastering and painting. Anything beyond that is a battle and not good. Framing, hanging doors, trim, stairs etc - not good. The stair case he put in was not only bad but obviously unsafe. He did not know how to do stairs and ended up changing the design so the last stair had about 6 inches of stair on one side of it. Nightmare for a landlord or anyone concerned with safety. He gave me a hard time when I complained that they were unsafe and tried to tell me "people will get used to the last step being short". After I put a stop payment on his check he finally agreed to take them down and do them over again. Jason was constantly pushing off the job for other work yet eager to get paid quickly. In the end of the day I made the mistake of paying him the final payment before the job was done. There were only small things that needed to be complete but about a days work. He showed up to pick up the check and never did the work! So now I am stuck with needing to hire someone else and pay fore work he should have done. He is unprofessional and not to be trusted.

I had called Jason and another company from Angie's List. Both came at their time designated. Their pricing was almost the same, so I decided to use them. A date and time was set and -no Jason. After over an hour I called. He had gotten stuck on another job and had lost my phone number. So 2 of them did show up fairly quickly and proceeded to start the work. Because our apartment is fairly small and on the second floor, we basically stayed outside, during their work hours. They came back the second day to finish up. We also have air ducts in the ceilings so they had to work over those and then cut out the parts over the ducts. We have the swirl ceilings and they really look nice. One room had old 12 x 12 tiles that needed to be removed, first. They took down the moldings around the room, but we had to have another person come and put them back up. Both plasterers said they didn't do that.

Everything went well. When he showed up to do the work I wanted him to do other things that were part of the original estimate and he had no problem doing the extra work. He came back a few days later to check on the job and to make sure there was nothing missed.
