This is my experience....\n\nI used yelp to contact J or J for a bid and they promptly responded. Like super fast... Great initial communication. They came out two days later.... I also got 2 other bids... J&Js bid of $3500 was in the middle for installing concrete curbing and 3 times as much as the next guy for a small 2 ft high decorative wall. I built the wall myself for 1/4 price of but hired them for the concrete curbing since I didn't have the expertise. They said it would take 3-4 days of work... install the forms, put in the concrete, take off the forms... i assumed they would start on a monday and be done by friday... did you pick up on the word ASSUME? My bad! They sent me a contract which I signed and sent in 50% deposit. Didn't hear from them again for 2 weeks... uh oh.... they got half my money... I called a few times... trying to get something scheduled... \n\nAfter following up with Daniel the foreman numerous times... the work finally gets started about 4 weeks after I sign the contract.... 2 guys come out and work for half a day... they break 4 irrigation pipes which I fix myself... then 5 days go by of no work.... 1 guy comes out and works 8-3pm... half the time on his cell phone.... 4 days go by... 2 guys come out and work 3 hrs... 3 days go by... by now my front yard has been tied off with yellow caution tape and a contruction zone for about 2.5 - 3 weeks... and my nice lawn isnt being watered becasue the water will hurt the wodden forms.... I'm getting a tad annoyed... 3-4 days of work has turned into 3 weeks so far... I start being a squeaky wheel.... finally get the concrete poured... which they tried to reschedule for another week later and I say no... 4 days go by of \"drying\"... 1 guy comes out and gets half the forms off... leaves the yard a literal disaster zone... cant they pick up after themselves? couple days go by... I'm pissed....\n\nThe concrete is wavy and looks like a toddler poured it... cracks... not straight... extra concrete footings everywhere..it was horrible... 3500K for this? had Daniel the foreman come and politely told him they weren't getting paid till they got it right... 2 guys finally came out and refaced all the curbing... it looked 1000% better... still not straight but I didn't care... I just wanted my yard back... they broke 6 more irrigation pipes on top of it... I didn't ask for a discount or for them to fix them... I just wanted them gone.\n\nBottom line.... management has no idea what they are doing. Foreman was NEVER on site... they just sent a hispanic guy or two to fend for themselves... Maybe my little job was just too small for them to care about... or they overbooked jobs... or just don't have the manpower... whatever the case may be.... bad management.,.. poor communication... mediocre work which they slapped lipstick on to make me happy... This job could have been so easy for them to do... it was too bad... 3-4 days of work turned into 4+ weeks of a constuction zone.. not what I signed up for... \n\nWish I could include pics..."^^ .
