JD Construction

We used JD construction to totally renovate our Condo in Victoria. This involved new Kitchen, new bathrooms with conversion to showers, design and build a TV / fire place feature wall, removal of popcorn ceilings, wide plank flooring install etc. In short it was a full renovation. Jay took on the project as General Contractor and worked with the trade guys on his roster who were skilled and reliable people. The project was complicated because we were resident in the US at the time so inspections and site briefings were done remotely but Jay's diligence, participation and valued advice on all aspects of the renovation gave us a spectacular conversion which has produced many compliments since its completion. We would not hesitate to recommend JD construction to anyone contemplating renovations of this nature.

Highly satisfied with the completed project. Impressed with the high quality of work: great attention to detail, very good clean up, and all done on time. Appreciated Jay's communication skills from estimate to completion. He is experienced, trust worthy, and meticulous. Highly recommend.

The best part of my kitchen renovation project was having Jay as my general contractor. He starts by carefully covering hardwood floors and enclosing the area to keep dust out of the rest of the condo. He thinks through each step, and problems that arise, so what he does works out well. He has very good connections with sub-trades so they are available when needed. Given the current situation with materials often being delayed, Jay is excellent with scheduling multiple projects as materials arrive. Jay came highly recommended to me, and I would like to pass that excellent recommendation on to his next potential client.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for performing the transformation of our raw and dark unfinished basement, stuck in the late 40s, into the light modern and airy structured space it is today. You’re a great general contractor and we’re grateful for your tremendous help in finding the subtrades, which were also outstanding during these very difficult times. You made it possible.

Your timeliness in starting the project and delivering the finished product was amazingly fast. When necessary, you came up with innovative solutions. We are grateful for your mindful and sensitivity to our strict budget. The excellent quality of your work particularly the framing did not go unnoticed by the drywallers! In fact, you made their job that much easier.

We couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks Jay!

Jay was recommended by our designer and has turned out to be an excellent partner in our renovations. He took excellent care of our property, ensuring that our hardwood floors were protected in all work areas. He coordinates an integrated team of high-calibre tradespeople who are available to support the work - he and they are always on time and do the high quality work as scheduled, or advise us in advance if there may be a delay. Jay is receptive to client input, and has shown himself to a creative problem solver in dealing with unexpected challenges related to some of our renovation work. We would strongly recommend him as a project manager and general contractor.

We are extremely pleased with the work Jay, owner of JD Construction, did to renovate the kitchen in our condo. His work involved removing parts of two walls, reconstructing a section of wall, dropping the ceiling in the kitchen area, and readying the reconstructed area for new cabinets, new lighting, updated plumbing and new tiling. Jay is a perfectionist and creative problem solver around issues such as an old ceiling that is uneven and gaps in flooring when old cabinets are removed. Jay is a hard worker, shows up when he says he will and cleans up before he leaves for the day. He also arranged for other tradespeople to be here when they were needed. Jay was respectful of our property, covering floors to protect them and putting up a plastic barrier to prevent dust from his work getting onto our living room furniture and art. On top of his excellent construction skills, he’s also a nice guy to have around. We highly recommend him to anyone considering renovations.

Work was done in a professional manner, cleaned up eveytime and communication was great.

We are happy with the work and would use JD Construction again for another project.

Jay saved the day when our hired contractor left us in the lurch by cancelling at the last minute.

But that was a “blessing in disguise” because Jay took on the job and achieved amazing results.

He transformed our condo from 1991 into a modern day appearance.

Although the bathroom was the primary renovation Jay was willing to make any changes or upgrades that were requested elsewhere.

The quality of his work is nothing short of perfection.

I highly recommend Jay - you won’t be disappointed.

I had PTSD from previous disastrous bathroom renovation. Just anticipating the kitchen renovation kept me awake at night. But, I found Jay! He and his team were able to complete the project smoothly within 4 weeks. Unlike some contractors, he always responded and answered our questions and requests. He was knowledgeable, professional and took great care in his work. Shout out also to the electricians he works with. They were not just there to do the job but actually helped us the best they can. Truly appreciate it! Thank you Jay.

Jay did the demo, construction and coordinated trades (plumbing, electrical and tiling) for our ensuite bathroom and our guest bathroom. I was very happy with the quality of the trades people he did bring in. Everyone who works with Jay was very diligent in making sure the job was well done and cared about good customer service. He also recommended a great designer to help us with drawings and choosing finishes and her priority was making sure we got what we liked according to our taste. It was a huge job with so many details that needed to be considered and Jay did a great job making it all work. It was easy to see he takes pride in his work. The age of our house meant there were more than a few challenges that increased the scope of work and he was able to help find solutions and implement them with attention to all the details. Due to the scope of work and unknowns with our house we were not able to commit to an exact budget, but he did always suggest/find ways for us to save some money. Not only did Jay do a great job, it was a pleasure to have him in our home and it was a positive construction site because he brings quality people to the job. Thanks Jay!
