Our company began in 1994 with a simple idea: provide our community with a trustworthy partner in home improvements. We had seen too many neighbors, friends and family members give their trust, time and money to "fly-by-night" contractors who let them down, performed substandard work or even left town with their hard-earned money. After working in the trades for years Jeff Bartelt saw that, even in the best companies he'd worked for, there was a lack of attention to detail and often the simplest solution was overlooked in favor of sales. He saw a need in the local market for someone who would put the customer's best interest at the heart of every decision, and so JJB Home Improvements was founded. That's still our philosophy today. We know you love your home. Something drew you to it and even if it was only a choice of convenience, your home is special to you. We want to help you make it the best it's ever been, so you can enjoy it now, save money on energy and future repairs, and retain the highest possible resale value for when the time comes. We have made a long-term commitment to the Greater Milwaukee community and we stand behind our work. We look forward to serving you! Uses only properly vetted and certified subs. Extra charge for after-hours service. Additional contact - Joe Bartelt.

Jeff Bartelt and his team did a great job. This job was pretty complicated, but they were very attentive to detail, focused on quality work and customer satisfaction. Jeff really goes the extra mile, providing frequent updates on progress, and ensuring that the work area is left neat at the end of each day. References were provided, and I drove around to see these - the work looked good and one person was out in the yard - she gave a very positive recommendation. I was more comfortable with this small group than some of the larger firms from whom I had received bids, and the price was better as well. I have had Jeff do other work for me since the roof, and have not been disappointed.
Description of Work: Roof replacement - this was a three layer tear off and replacement on a 1920's stone tudor home with a detached garage. Also included were two sections of flat roof which required rubber membrane replacement, and some repair work underneath in one area. This work was done in late Fall 2004.

Excellent - The response was prompt - They couldn't e-mail us the contract as quickly as they'd planned because of e-mail problems, so they called to let us know & sent it as soon as they were back up. The time between initial response & having the work done was 4 business days. The workers were clean, quiet (as you can be while pounding on the roof), left absolutely no evidence that they'd even been here. Most importantly, the roof no longer leaks!!!
Description of Work: Replacement of 6 roof vents & covering w/ new shingles - also gave us an estimate on the life of our whole roof.

JEFF AND HIS CREW WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS, AND RESPECTFUL. THE DEMOLITION WENT VERY QUICKLY AND SMOOTHLY. THE DAY THAT THEY POURED THE CEMENT, THERE WAS A CHANCE OF RAIN. THEY STILL ORDERED THE TRUCK AND IT STARTED TO POUR RAIN WHILE THEY WERE POURING THE CEMENT. THIS RESULTED IN PART OF THE SIDEWALK BEING COLORED AND TEXTURED DIFFERENTLY (PART OF IT WAS COVERED WHILE RAINING). THE RAIN ALSO CAUSED THE CEMENT TO SPLASH THE BRICKS OF OUR HOUSE. AFTER WE ASKED THEM TO FIX IT, THEY CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY. THEY RAN OUT OF CEMENT ONE BLOCK SHORT AND HAD TO DO THAT THE NEXT DAY. THAT PART IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLOR. WHEN THEY SAWED THE LINES IN THE SIDEWALK, IT SPRAYED EVERYTHING IN OUR YARD WITH CEMENT (PLAY EQUIPMENT, CHAIRS, PICNIC TABLE, ETC.) WE HAD TO SPEND ABOUT AN HOUR CLEANING THAT UP. OVERALL, THE EXPERIENCE WAS PRETTY GOOD. JEFF SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING WHEN INSTALLING NEW CEMENT, HOWEVER, HE DIDN'T SEEM WELL PREPARED IN THE EVENT OF RAIN.
Description of Work: REMOVED OLD SIDEWALK AND REPLACED WITH NEW CEMENT FROM ALLEY TO CITY SIDEWALK.

JEFF AND HIS TEAM DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF REBUILDING THE STONE WALL TO LOOK EXACTLY AS IT HAD BEFORE ON MY 1928 HOUSE. HIS PRICE WAS WAY BELOW SEVERAL OTHER BIDS. HE ALSO DEVISED A DRAIN SYSTEM TO CARRY WATER AWAY TO FIX THE CHRONIC WATER RUN-OFF PROBLEM THAT HAD DAMAGED THE PATIO IN THE FIRST PLACE. LATER HE REPAIRED A FLAT RUBBER ROOF WITH NEW RAILINGS. HE IS HONEST, ON TIME, GIVES GREAT SERVICE, AND IS A VERY PLEASANT GUY.
