JW Construction

We received an estimate from John Wasley of JW Construction on 8/6/2016. The contract was signed with a work begin date of 8/11/2015. The job was for a bathroom remodel. The first set of sub-contractors he sent out included 5 people, 2 of them were decent workers, while the other 3 didn’t seem to have a clue as to what they were supposed to do. They would disappear for hours at a time, not finish the things they were supposed to be working on, and one of them stole some tools and part of a brand new 180 dollar shower head from us. They discontinued their work and John sent in a second crew of sub-contractors. They did ok work on a very slow scale. They would show up late or not show up at all with no notification. The last no show day we called them to inquire where they were and their response to us was that John from JW Construction owed them over $3,000 for work they did that he had not paid and they were not doing any more work until they got paid from him. We have called SEVERAL times and sent SEVERAL text messages to John with no response. There was a guy there to take measurements for the glass that is supposed to go in our shower around 8/21. The glass was supposed to be delivered and installed 9/1/15. We have not heard anything from anyone and don’t even know if the glass was ordered. At this point a project that John told us that would take about 2 weeks, is almost a month in and the bathroom is still not painted, there is still a hole in a door that the sub-contractor knocked a hole in that was supposed to be fixed, a scrape in our vanity that a sub-contractor did that was supposed to be fixed, all of the trim work has not been done, and they hung the shower unit incorrectly and John said he would have a plumber come and adjust it, which by the way never came. We hire our own plumber and had to pay to have it fixed. No clean-up was done we has to get all of the remaining dust and stuff out of the bathroom ourselves, and there is a big pile of trash on the side of our house that they were supposed to haul off but haven’t.

John Wasley of JW Construction is a farce and a fraud who does not do any of the work himself, he does not follow any deadlines, he does not finish the job, and he certainly will not communicate with you at all!

Beware of using this company as he has put many people in the same boat by starting projects and not finishing them, but still taking their money.

In June of 2015 we hired John under contract for a fair price to paint the exterior of our house, add gutters and shutters, as well as fix any repairs needed for the exterior. The first day, the men he hired worked efficiently to power wash the house but then sat around for about 4 hours waiting on materials and instructions from John. Day 2 was very similar. The men worked to make repairs then waited around for about 4 more hours on our front lawn. Day 3 was the first day for painting. I walked out to see the entire house being covered in one color, which was not the agreement. I spoke with the painters and they said that was the instruction given from John. As I spoke with them, they agreed that it didn't look good and the garage doors as well as portions of the trim needed to be another color. The painters were fabulous and listened and made suggestions as to where to put specific colors. They paid extreme attention to detail and we are pleased with the paint job. After the paint was completed, another man hired by John came to put on the shutters and gutters as well as install a band on the base of the house. We had some holes that needed to be filled with expand foam and then covered with the band. As the man was putting up the band my husband walked out and noticed that he did not fill the holes. He said he didn't have any expand foam so we supplied him with 2 cans we had left over. Once the gutters and the shutters went up we thought everything was complete. It looked complete at least. That's when my husband and I did a double check on the gutters and found that every single seam and end cap leaked and the water didn't flow correctly in the back. We called John and the man that installed them came back out. He was there for about an hour then left. We figured he sealed them and corrected the flow. We didn't check them again for a couple days to allow time for drying the seal. Once we got back up there we saw that nothing had been fixed except for the flow on the back gutter. All seems were leaking. We called John back and he said he would send someone back out and that we had a year warranty. No one ever came. We called several times throughout the following three days and didn't receive a phone call back. It has now been over a week without contact and we have little hope that it will get fixed. Though we are happy with the paint job, I cannot recommend this company in good confidence because the job, as stated in the contract, has yet to be completed. We would like to give more stars, but the lack of attention to detail and the incomplete job prevent us from doing so.
