Report
We had J brothers finish our basement over 10 years ago. When it was time for a full remodel of our main level, there was no question who would do the work. We never even talked to another vendor. Our remodel was a complete gut. Took down 3 walls, changed the full flow, etc. The timeline was supposed to be 6 weeks and friends laughed when we said what was being done in that timeframe. No way, they said, would it get done.
We're talking kitchen, bath, family room, dining room and living room. Well, not only did they do phenomenal work, and kept the house spotless while they did it, they also finished a few days ahead of schedule!

We had J Brothers redo our deck. We decided to make it a little bit larger and go with maintenance free decking. What a wonderful difference it made. The process went very smooth and the job was done quickly. We are so happy we chose J Brothers!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to work with J Brothers Home Improvement Inc on the recent finishing of our basement. J Brothers' quote was inline or below other quotes we received, and right from the beginning they seemed to understand the concept we were going for. Every member of their team that we worked with was professional, knowledgeable, and stayed within the time frame they indicated each step of the way.
They gave us very good suggestions along the way, especially when we had a vision but weren't sure how to make it a reality. The quality of their work is remarkable - our bar is just gorgeous and just what we envisioned. J Brothers definitely stayed within our budget (it was me who went over it by adding more and more to it!), and we couldn't believe how exact they were with the deadlines they gave us the first day! We will absolutely be using J Brothers again for additional home improvement projects we may have.
