Our experience with JD Construction was extremely positive. Their ideas and creativity added to our basic design and resulted in a beautiful and unique finished product. Jay’s communication throughout the entire process kept us well informed of what to expect regarding day to day and week to week progress and delays as well as clear explanations of how and why and the different steps from start to finish. The worksite was always left neat and tidy so we were still able to enjoy the backyard. The quality of workmanship and materials is excellent. Jay provided options and suggestions within our budget and we feel we received exceptional value for our money.
Jay is very able to turn his hand to many different aspects of house reconstruction and has contacts with capable trades people as necessary. He thinks things through carefully and was always able to find innovative solutions to the many surprises that pop up during a reno, ie., removing and substantially upgrading the supporting structures of a sunroom 12 feet in the air to earthquake standards without cracking a single pane of glass. He is unerringly prompt, responds quickly to messages, works energetically every hour he is on the job and is very pleasant to work with. My husband and I are very pleased with the quality of his work, his broad knowledge of the business and his integrity, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to make changes in their home or place of business.
When we bought our 1973 home with green shag carpet and leaking windows we knew we wanted to do as much renovation as we could between our possession date and move in date two weeks later. Jay and his team of sub trades got us a long way in our reno in a short time. Jay is knowledgeable, efficient and he leaves his project areas clean. Jay has done several jobs for me over the years and I've always been happy with his work and his work ethic.
I am not inclined to write a brilliantly constructed reviews, mostly due to laziness. but I will say that I unreservedly recommend him for work big or small. Over a decade Jay has done many jobs for me and my friends with satisfaction all round as far as I can tell. They keep calling him for more work.
Cheers,
David
Living in an older house there are many smaller jobs that pop up so I have dealt with many companies over the years to keep the place up. I have no problem recommending JD Construction to anybody and will very likely use Jay again. JD does terrific work and can handle any job professionally. JD is always on time, clean and able to work around our schedules easily. The finished work is top notch and Jay is mindful of our cats and careful to not let them outside so I recommend him to anyone with pets around the house. Whoever wrote the negative review obviously has no idea what they're talking about. I'll look forward to hiring JD again.
We are very happy with the bathroom/bedroom renovation that Jay and his partner Chris did for us. The work went smoothly and any challenges were communicated clearly and dealt with swiftly. The bathroom turned out beautifully and we are very happy with the quality of the work. Jay and his partner were a pleasure to work with and to have in our home on a daily basis for the duration of the project. They were both friendly, courteous, hardworking and fun to be around.
The downstairs bathroom was a complete reno, going down to studs and removing old ceiling. New drywall, upgrade plumbing, new flooring, new tile around shower, replaced shower doors, new vanity, sink, toilet and recessed lighting. Upstairs was new bathtub, new flooring, new pony wall, new tile work, new lighting, new vanity and sink. He also hung 5 new hallway doors and 2 closet doors.
Jay's work ethics are excellent, his workmanship is precise. He is hard working and always meets time deadlines. He let me assist where I could. His sub trades were also very good.
Anymore house renovations we undertake we will look at Jay for assistance.
My wife and I were both impressed with the work Jay did for us. For the bathroom Reno we gave him an idea of what we wanted and let him run with it. The finished product looked fantastic. He has good taste and sense of style that I know most tradesmen don’t have. His work was of high quality, done in a timely manner, his cost estimates were always accurate and left no surprises and he always cleaned up each day after himself so we could function as needed in the area. He made a custom shelf for our daughter on an uneven surface that we still have friends ask where we got it. We have had Jay do a few jobs for us over the years and would have no problem recommending him to others.
Jay helped us with our IKEA kitchen renovation and did a great job! His experience and knowledge was very helpful for us. His estimates of time and costs were accurate. He has good contacts with other tradespeople and was quickly able to line up a plumber, electrician, and tiler when we needed them. Jay was accommodating to let us help with as much or as little of the renovation we wanted to depending on our available time and skill level. Also he was super friendly, energetic, and easy to work with. Easily recommended !

I recently downsized and I was very concerned about finding a place for my indoor cats to have a nice place to "do their business", and I also needed a large amount of storage for all the bins that hold a lot of my belongings. It took Jay and his partner, Chris only a week or so to create a great area in a former 2-car garage for me. They were both very professional, and forthcoming. They cleaned up after themselves every day after they finished their work, and there was always a environment of positive energy. I would highly recommend this contractor. He arranged for an electrician to come and make some changes, and these fellows were also very professional.
