Hi, I am embarrassed to join the growing Jessie fan club. He got me for waaaay more than I want to say. Same M.O. lots of money up front, dissapear for a while , lots of broken promises, then he returned and started digging , only to stop and tell me he needs more money to continue.
Gave him more money , and he disappeared for good. Have since hired a real contractor to fix his mess and do the job. Basically have paid twice plus a fix it fee.
I feel as though I set my self up to be a victim here, but his last communication to me was he swore to me he was a man of his word and to give him a chance - then he disappeared again. Had he not lied to me at the end, I might have been a bigger person and let him slither away, but many now he's made a fool out of me, and I will pursue him till the day he dies for that one.
Lawyer called this morning. no pitty left. jaymageau@hotmail.com if you want to trade war stories.

I hired JAAC Contracting 6 weeks ago, made the arrangements with Jesse ( the Owner) - he demanded 1,000 ( by the way he demanded cash) to purchase materials - would not take payment any other way - just cash and would text and text my husband till he got the cash. As soon as he TOOK our CASH - we could not reach him. I called and called and called - finally his wife answered the telephone, and told me the truck was stolen - that was 2 weeks later ( I have all the texts filed now with my lawyer) - and he could not get his truck out of the impound area ( he could have used the money he took from me) - So I told his wife I would send our company truck to pick up the wood - SHOCKING the wood was also stolen - so I demanded a receipt to prove he actually purchased any wood - EXCUSE No. # 1 - His wife had given it to the Insurance company - so I asked to have the insurance company to forward the receipt to me EXCUSE # 2 - the Insurance company lost the receipt ???!!!### (are you kidding me ??) I demanded my 1,000 he TOOK FROM ME back, EXCUSE # 3 - He fell and mangled his knee and was at the hospital and could not get back to me - NOW I'm into week 3.5 with an open back yard - everything exposed - Jesse finally calls me back as I text him and text him - all I want is my money back as he has NOT Performed any of the work, returned the materials, shown a receipt. WEEK 4.5 - he tells me " I will come and do the fence - BUT I HAVE TO "RE-BUY all the wood " again, so I ask him to adjust the quote showing the 1,000 already paid and he does not reduce it at all - but expect me to buy the material and pay for everything again, I ask for my money back again and again. Now he tells me he needs to "lien a building first to get back my money" - then he could pay me " I'm working on it " he tells me - again, no money - he offers to come and start my fence FRIDAY ( 2 days ago ) he was a NO SHOW - he stolen my money from me - DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY - If anyone is having trouble getting their money back please contact my email - also the lady that lost her 350.00 ( he tells me "She worked at a law firm and did not know what she was doing" I find that hard to believe. I am contacting GLOBAL Trouble shooters, as this type of person takes money from innocent people, and his pattern seems to be the same - excuses. Now it is 6 weeks, and my money is gone. I would have rather donated 1000 to the Homeless for water and food.
my email is : sherylsmithsavyproductions@gmail.com please contact me if you are trying to get your deposit back, or if he did not do the work for you

Do not hire Jesse Chapman of JAAC's Contracting & Landscaping for any landscaping jobs. We hired Jesse to put in a pad in our backyard for a shed. He wanted a $350 deposit upfront for supplies. Due to personal issues that arose he was unable to finish the job. The work that he did complete was terrible. The sod that he cut out was crooked and when we measured it was out 6 inches from front to back. We had to spend 6 hours our time cleaning up the mess he left behind and straightening up the sod that he had cut out. We had made many attempts to try to help him out without any luck. We gave him deadlines to finish the job which would come and go and then he would ask for another extension. After numerous demands he has not refunded our $350 deposit which was to be used towards supplies.

Jesse did a large overhaul of my back yard including:
Complete sod removal
Concrete sidewalk removal
Complete regarding
Sod replacement
Sidewalk replacement.
He is a hard worker and really knows what he is doing.
I will likely call him again for more landscapoing work
Thank you Sir it was a pleasure really doing your back yard and thank you for allowing me some time away during your project to complete another project I had on the go. I know how much you wanted that deck with fireplace. Please contact me if you need some assistance on it or any other project you or someone you know may have and I have a 10% discount for your next project as well Sir.

Do not hire this "Company" (Jesse Chapman) for concrete ..
So my name is Jesse Chapman owner of JAAC's Contracting & Landscaping I have been waiting to finally get access to my trust the pros acct so I can respond to Roxanne review of my company. So yes I was hired by Roxanne to do the concrete approx for her garage it was completely last min she contacted me. I went and had a look at the job I quoted it and we finally agreed on a price but wanted it done ASAP "to end the 6 month long headache of a reno" So I made some scheduling changes so I could do it right away. While doing excavation, base prep, and forming I was literally watched the entire time which I am fine with cause home owners have that right it's there property. But where the watching becomes a problem in my book is when pictures are continually taken I am not talking a couple pics to keep as reminder of the reno I mean continually like a photographer. I suckered it up finished the prep scheduled the concrete to pour the apron. But last minute my buddy couldn't help me place & finish it so I found someone on line to come help me do it and we agreed $850.00 and he would place and finish the pour I agreed but said I would help them get it on the ground. The $850.00 was to include place & finish as well as doing the cuts or Crack control joints as some of you may call them. The day of the pour comes he shows up with another guy and I while waiting on concrete to show up I receive a call from my buddy saying he can help me do it the next day so I decided I was going to cancel the concrete and do it the next day with my buddy. So I bring this to Roxanne about I am cancelling get the pour and we will do it tomorrow that was not an option with her at all so I said well I am cancelling it any way she responded with remember when I said I would pursue legal action against you if you screwed me over. I said really did you just seriously say that it's one day I am pushing the pour back. After that was said I thought I am screwed if I don't pour so we went ahead with the pour. Once concrete was on the ground I had to run to an appt with another home owner about doing some work for them. When I was leaving Roxanne decided she wanted to offer us all a drink which wasn't water it was beer. I said no and I will be back shortly when I came back I called Roxanne before getting there and asked how's it look response was looks great and they are working group very hard. I said I will see you soon. When I returned there was 10 or more empty beer bottle/can on the ground then was seriously threatened and was rushed by one of the finishers so I got in my truck and left. When leaving finisher said don't worry Roxy we got you on this one. Which Roxanne replied making sure I heard it as I pulled away "I will give you extra money for all the hard work you 2 are doing. So I called Roxanne and said okay that's fine then you have hired them it sounds like from your response so you can just pay them directly then with the balance you owe to me and hung up the phone and went home as it was after 6pm.
