JD Construction

Called for a quote for driveway repair. Guy was short abrupt and kind of rude. Happy I didn’t give them my business.

We decided to get our old asphalt driveway and sidewalk (concrete) walkway removed and replaced. After talking and getting a quote from one other company, we decided to go with JD Construction as they were doing another job right down the street. We walked down to ask them to come by and they did right away. The brother that own the company are extremely nice, knowledgable and professional. We told them what we were looking for, then made recommendations and drew up a contract. They would begin within 3 weeks. A week later they were back and within a day our entire driveway and walk were removed and everything was tamped down and prepped. After sitting for awhile we decided on pavers for the walk (they bring you samples to choose from) and a design. The walkway went in on two days and it was VERY nicely done. It looks perfect. They also concrete the sides to that everything is right and not as likely to shift. A few days later they came back and the driveway went in in a couple hours. The guys were great. The workers were courteous and cleaned up really well at the end of each day. We were happy with the speed at which the project was completed, the fact that we’re were involved from beginning to end (they keep you totally in the loop and let you know why thy are doing certain things or using certain materials), and the price seemed pretty fair, especially for the area.
I would highly recommend them for any similar projects.

My wife and I have an «old» house in West Hartford, CT with an equally «old» asphalt driveway. We had to do some sort of repair to it. We called some asphalt sealing companies and an asphalt paving company to come by and look at our driveway. They all had suggestions as to how we could repair our driveway to get some more years out of it.
Then we got a flyer in the local paper for JD Construction and we thought we would get another opinion as to how to deal with our asphalt driveway. We called the number on the flyer and the next day we met with James the owner of the company and he was knowledgeable and friendly.
He talked to us about how his company could resurface our asphalt driveway or he could make our house look a ton better with brick pavers. I was curious and the more we talked, I was convinced that brick pavers would be the way to go!
Signed the contract on Monday. Tuesday his crew showed up with lots of the proper equipment to rip out my old driveway and lay the correct base material for the paving bricks. He brought by samples of brick colors for us to choose and we could decide on the pattern that we wanted. Wednesday morning he came by to ask us what we would like… and by Wednesday at 5:00pm we had our new driveway!
I must say that the professionalism, quickness and attention to detail was amazing. I would highly recommend this company to anybody that asks.

I have had several experiences with JD Construction, although the I’ve never had work done with them personally.
First, I called them to get a quote on replacing some front steps. One of the main contractors came to check out the job. He was very charming and seemed honest. He quoted me $ 7K and several days to get my brick front steps replaced and a paver pathway laid. This was extremely high … I got another licensed contractor to complete the project about two weeks later for $ 3K and one day using the same materials JD had quoted me $ 7K for. It turned out amazing and a year later still looks fabulous, so I’m happy with my decision not to go with JD.
However … While JD was at my house for a quote, it turns out, my neighbor saw his truck in my driveway and came over immediately after he left to warn me.
My next door neighbor showed me his driveway which had been poured by JD Construction the previous season. There were footprints in the pavement where a worker had stepped against the house and the pavement was messily poured around his fence pole, damaging the pole itself.
After telling my other neighbor a few streets over what had happened, she showed me her driveway which had also been poured by JD Construction. The driveway is sloped towards the house and water leaks into their basement only three months after being poured. They had to get it resurfaced by another company.
Overall, this may be a series of coincidences, but it doesn’t seem likely that my two separate neighbors are the only displeased JD Construction customers. Additionally, their quote to me for my steps was very high.
This all happened about a year ago, but when I found a flier for spring repairs they had put into my mailbox today, I had to help other potential customers! Make sure to do your research. I’m sure some people have had good work done by JD — I assume it’s the luck of the draw!

We had an excellent experience with JD. In fact, I am writing this review from my porch as I look at my gorgeous new driveway and masonry work.
Our driveway and masonry was frankly, a total and complete wreck when we bought our house 5 years ago. The driveway is narrow, and on a relatively steep hill (for a driveway), and it’s pretty long. We also had a stone wall that was falling apart and zero path from the driveway to the back porch.
That all has been fixed, and fixed beautifully. We hired JD not only to redo the driveway, but also build a path to the back porch (with bluestone) and fix masonry surrounding our driveway.
I knew I liked these guys immediately. First, and let’s be honest, I love a good, authentic Irish brogue. Second, during our first meeting, they talked us *out* of a potential quite expensive additional project that we really didn’t need — it would have been cosmetic only and we had told them we were trying to be conservative financially. They listened to that and respected it, offering more reasonable financial options at each turn. I have tremendous respect for any business person that does not try to push unnecessary projects and understands their clients’ financial constraints.
JD took on this major project with enthusiasm, professionalism, respect, and most importantly, competence. From the initial digging out of the old driveway, to the laying of many inches of stone (and allowing it to settle for a sufficient amount of time), to the masonry and path work to the final, finished paving project, everything turned out exactly as anticipated and discussed. The owners take enormous pride in their work, and have improved not only our home, but now 3 additional homes on our block.

These guys are the worst contractors i have ever hired. driveway is 19 months old. rotten substandard work over charged. Also came over the house to «collect» there money. wanted to follow me to the atm! these guys are a bunch of unprofessional drunks. used my lawn furniture to relax while their laborers did the work. left cans and cigarette butts in the yard. caused problems with neighbors by starting job Sunday morning 7am against west hartford zoning. please double check thee guys and at least get another quote. they didn’t use enough asphalt or gravel below. bums. NO STARS from me.

JD Construction did some major repair work on my front concrete stoop and stairs, which were not going to last the winter, along with some repair/​reinforcement of a set of bluestone stairs, which were going to cause me a lawsuit sooner than later. They gave me a fair quote, stuck to the quote even when we discovered the stoop repair was more extensive than originally thought, and were out here FAST. The repairs took two days total, and the work looks great. And my parents no longer fear coming up the steps! They’ve given me a lot of peace of mind. They were also great to work with — very polite and place a huge emphasis on customer service. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is because the workman left a lot of detritus in the yard. Not a huge deal, but still could have been a bit more conscientous with the cleanup.

I used JD Construction for some concrete repair work on my front walk, additionally they did some repair to the exterior basement walls. I was very SATISFIED with the work at my home in West Hartford!

ive never Unilocaled before but this business sucks. theyre very professional in selling, but the work and schedule and contact is simply awful. also, they insist on cash– they don’t like to pay taxes. they don’t even accept checks with the business name on them. the supervisors take only checks made to themselves. stay away
