    I contacted them and asked to set up an appointment to get an estimate. The individual gave a time that he would be at my home the following day. They never showed up. At the very least they could have attempted a telephone call or text …

    I will not choose this company, and i recommend you dont either. Especially after they're claiming our house smelled of urine and had fleas We have never had a cat so there's no possible way it smells like any animal urine or fleas. We don't have an inside animal to where we could have fleas. They were just mad, because we didn't go with them for our roof repair. Purely because we wouldn't afford them. So we went with a cheaper option. There work might be great and I'm sure it's worth it but we could not afford the price quote they gave us for our roof repair at the time. They threatened to throw nails around my home, were my child is outside and plays and if there's a single nail that shows up in my driveway or at my house. I know the first person I'll be calling and they will be replacing any damage it causes to my child wife or home. He also mentioned to my wife about political views about Biden?? Neither of us voted for him and idk how thats pertinent to his conversation. This is not very good customer service, threatening a mom who stays home with her child while her husband works to provide for them..this is ridiculous. She is utterly terrified and has cried hysterically yesterday and all day today she's made herself sick over this. As you can see she has been nothing but kind and hasn't defamated this company at all.

    Honestly not sure how this business has ANY reviews, let alone five star reviews considering it was an absolute nightmare trying to get ahold of them. Back in November we had called about getting a quote for siding, the woman who came out …

    We called to see about service for a leak in our roof. And was instantly quoted 750.00 dollars sight unseen to repair it and was told that we would need a new roof. Again this was sight unseen. The next day we had a company come out and fix it for 150 dollars and no new roof is needed. He told us he was just that good and he didn't need to see our roof! Very ery unprofessional!

    Josh is a master at his profession. My father was a contractor I did not follow his profession but I grew up learning what is and isn't a good job. I know good work when I see it. Thank You Josh & John

    Josh and his employees went well above what I had expected and kept the job within my budget. Josh was professional all the way. I wouldn't hesitate to have him work on my house again if need be.

  • 5 out of 5L H2 months ago

    Josh was a pleasure to deal with. He came out quickly for the bid which was more than reasonable. When we received the bid and agreed to go forward, the job was completed quickly and looks great! We would definitely have him do more work for us in the future.

  • 5 out of 5Marjorie Yuill3 months ago

    JL construction put up a roof today. I am so pleased. Its beautiful. His home crew started at 6am this morning. It is 2pm and they are gone. They were very professional and efficient. Was like a dance where everyone had a part. No discussion no backtrack just perfect work flow. I have recommended JL Construction to my friends and family.

  • 5 out of 5Shirley Williams3 months ago

    Josh was quick to respond and actually came to my house for the evaluation of my roof. He was very professional and thorough. He answered all my questions and explained the process of the repairs. His crew was amazing with their workmanship and clean up. Highly recommend him and his crew.

  • 5 out of 5Aaron Szczeblewski3 months ago

    Josh and his crew did an exceptional job on my new roof. I went to work when they showed up, came home and it was done. It was that easy. No mess or debris, as everything was cleaned up and hauled off. True professionals!!!

    If you looking for a contractor that you can trust for a excellent job, call JL. There was not one thing that I would complain about.

  • 5 out of 5Jay Cantrell4 months ago

    Josh was professional, prompt and communicated during all aspects of the job. Additionally, his work happens to be a real value for the quality of work provided. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend JL Construction to anyone.

  • 5 out of 5Patty Campbell4 months ago

    Great job! The crew got the roof done in 1 day. They were professional, and worked around our schedule for completing the removal of a chimney and installing a vent through the wall. They did exactly what was requested and quoted. Very happy customer.

  • 5 out of 5Keith Campbell4 months ago
