J & D Construction

Joe is the most meanest, rudest person I have every worked with. You can’t have a conversation with him once you award him the project. He will come out swinging at you — «I know my work. Don’t tell me how to do it.» Gosh — I was just trying to understand what is it that he is doing and how is that going to help prevent the leakage in future.
Extremely poor work ethics. Very poor workmanship. Didnt finish the job when I pointed out several incomplete and incorrect items. Don’t know how he got his license.
HE did a complete 100% shower remodel for me. Top to bottom. All his work and material. I didn’t not negotiate a single dollar from his bid of $ 6600 for remodeling the shower stall. But the work he did is absolutely awful. I had to spend another $ 500 or so to get things resolved because he wouldn’t do it.
But get this — less that 5 months after the work — the bathroom started leaking again. I called him — his words and tried to remind him of the project he did. Here is how the conversation went.
Joe: So why are you call me now.
Me: Well — its leaking again
Phone — Click
Yes — he hung up the phone as soon as I finished the sentence !!!
I called again — and got his voice mail. Of course he is not going to respond anymore. I am going to report him to state licensing and go after him for sure. Suggest those who have been duped — should do the same.
Save your time and money. Don’t go with him. Anyone is better than him.
As for me — I have reported him to California State License Board.

So I thought things went well… until they started to fall apart. Just like the other negative reviews, I’m having trouble after the job is done. Ceiling patching looks terrible. The lines from the patch are completely visible and after «fixing» it twice and actually making it worse, Joe told me «I’ve done all that I’m going to do». It’s now cost me $ 500 to have someone else fix his mess (which I told him and got no response).
On top of that, the grout in both bathroom floors keeps cracking and coming out. I’m really worried about the long term quality of Joe’s work. Not sure if the bathroom will hold up for long with the poor quality.
Very disappointed in this entire situation. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt… I should not have and neither should you. Look elsewhere.

Joe & his crew have been great to work with. They are ensuring that all 3 of my bathrooms look beautiful. They do a «story board» with the tiles to plan where cuts will have to be made. He works with me to discuss everything. As with any job, changes happen and he’s working with me. A new pocket door will be installed; he’ll texture and paint the walls. Pictures to follow…

Mean, rude, and shoddy workmanship. Did not do what I contracted and paid for. Joe was very friendly when selling me on his company, but no response when I contacted him to fix the horrible work. When I finally reached him by phone, he was insulting and refused to honor the warranty. I had several repairs done at one time. I asked for a weight-​bearing wall to be added. They put in a wall that held no weight… it did not even touch the flooring! I had them put in a new gate, but the latch would not latch. He was furious that I asked him to do it again. I contracted for a new roof which leaked like a sieve with the first rains. When putting in roof, he argued over everything I wanted done even though I said I’d pay for extras. I asked for a fan to be installed in my roof. He did not. «We forgot», he said after the roof was done and too late to put in a fan. I wanted the sections with wood rot removed and new plywood installed. He did a couple sections, but left major areas of wood rot. We had discussed each section so it was very clear what was to be done. I contracted for the work and materials and paid for it. I now have to pay to put in another new roof. The new contractor said the materials Joe used are not even sold anymore and are not up to any code. Joe does not even use galvanized nails so all nails rusted. Garbage materials that fall apart. His crew left dirt and debris coating everything rather than cover the area where they worked. If you hire him, be sure you get his insurance company information and what the warranty is for his work and materials. And even then, he will yell at you and deny any responsibility. Watch his every move. He will switch materials and use junk. He will not do what you paid for him to do. He is not to be trusted.

You guys did amazing work on the Milpitas job! It was done very fast and efficiently with excellent customer service!

Joe has worked with me on several projects and while he’s a bit gruff, his business practices are sound and the quality of the work has always been excellent. I actually like the fact that he works quickly as it allowed us to get back into the home much faster than other contractor’s time tables. I would recommend him highly for any remodel work in the South Bay.

The worst contractor experience possible. Not only do I agree he is very rude, but he also is extremely unprofessional. He states he has been building for years and has experience. After «framing» he abandoned the job site. The work was very faulty. The city inspector and the engineer reviewed his work. The framing lacked the straps indicated in the plan, we had to redo a section of the roof, since the rafters were not tied to the beam, but to a separate piece that compromised the integrity of the roof. He was an absolute slob. He left debris with nails exposed and LIVE electrical cables exposed. There are missing fire blocks all over the place. To top it off he put in a beam smaller than specified. And many many more things… He walked off with money we paid for work that was not executed. You should stay away from j and d construction…

Wow! Joe from J&D construction is HORRIBLY RUDE! He just tries to get everything done as fast as possible with little or no workmanship and has a terrible tone of voice when you talk to him. He is one of those people that just does everything his own way and doesn’t listen and talks really fast. We hired him to install some cabinets for our place of business. We had already had some cabinets that we were set on ordering but they would take some time to come in. Joe pressured us to buying cabinets that were available now, but they were cheaper quality. We finally decided to go with Joe’s suggestion. Lot long afterwards, the cabinet door wouldn’t close properly and Joe was being a TOTAL P-​I-​T-​A when you tried to get him to come back to fix his work. Not only that, but he complains when you request for his W2. Just recently, we had to call Joe again for worker’s compensation audit, where we needed to get his proof of insurance. Not only was Joe totally rude on the phone, he flat out REFUSED to give it to me, and then HUNG UP ON ME mid sentence. Not only is his work shoddy, but his personality is just plain RUDE and makes you not want to deal with him.
This guy is only out there to make a quick buck, he doesn’t care about you or your business or how you want it done. Avoid this guy at ALL costs.
