Constraction reviews in Aurora, Illinois

Joe and his crew put a 2nd floor addition on our Elmhurst home, as well as a sunroom. The work is OUTSTANDING. They actually met the time frame provided (4 months), and were very honest and transparent in everything they did. Joe was just a phone call away and fun to work with. He has also completed work for other family members and friends, and everyone highly recommends J&J. Now I know why! Thanks, Joe!

J & J remodeled our basement; new walls, flooring, bathroom, electrical. The project started on time and actually finished sooner than the promised completion date!
They were terrific about the few items I felt were not finished as I had envisioned them, all of these changes were completed quickly and without my having to make calls to get them back here. Everything they said they would do they did.
Nice people, clean, considerate of my pets and property.

I contacted this company requesting a quote to remove a living room wall.. Joe proceeded to tell me they only do bathroom and kitchen remodels along with additions and what I needed was a handyman. He then proceeds to tell me they only take jobs for greater than $25,000. I asked him if he had any referrals and he said laughing that he does not have any referrals for anyone less than $25,000 job because anyone he knows who would do a job for less than $25,000 is going to screw it up and he said I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place with my project.

Just two years after remodeling our master bath, and hall bath...here are the issues we have!! First, some of the grout in our expensive showers, wipes out every time I clean! Joe says "harsh chemicals" MUST have been used on it! I don't have harsh chemicals in my house, nor do I use harsh chemicals! He Took months to "research" grout they used, and decided it wasn't his fault! Still must be "harsh chemicals"! Nothing is their fault, if they can find a way around it! Then.... toilet paper holder, which they mounted on my new cabinet without asking, keeps getting lose, and is impossible to tighten! They did fix it one time, but has since gotten worse! Then...I started noticing the finish coming off my expensive cabinets, along the edge! But of course, warranty is up on that too! Now, the finish is coming off cabinet hardware, so will have to replace after just two years! Also water sits in corners of my shower, and causes mold. Guess they didn't pitch the shower floor correctly! Lastly, my 25-30 lb mirror nearly fell off the wall! I noticed it was crooked, we took it down, and the screws were ripping down the drywall and pulling out! Thank God I noticed it, someone could have been seriously injured! I don't recommend this place....at all! I tell all my friends to go elsewhere! And you should too!

J & J were able to beautifully remodel a bathroom in my Victorian home that had not been updated (except for minor cosmetic repairs) since it was originally built. They were able to reserect it from a non functional state very quickly and with minimal disruption to the rest of the house. Their attention to detail and experience allowed them to return the bathroom into a fully functional and delightful part of my house despite all of the quirks hidden within an old home's surface. I am thrilled with the results and am happily working with them on additional renovations.

J&J is hands down the best contractor we have ever worked with. They completed a massive remodel and addition of our home, on time, on budget, and were engaged with all aspects of the projects. Did we have issues? You bet. Every project does, but when they popped up Joe and Mike were quick to identify and resolve them.

This past summer, J & J was out to our home to do a retaining wall and a complete new deck. The finished results are amazing. Our deck looks so good, our neighbors came over to check it out up close and personal. Our deck looks like it has been part of the house since the beginning. Anyone seeing our home for the first time would not guess it had not always been a part of the house. It looks like it belongs.
J & J did a wonderful job. The guys that came out were out there on time every day; advised us of any schedule changes and were extremely polite. They were out during the hottest part of the summer. We brought them out cold water every couple of hours and they could not have been more appreciative.
Our project manager kept in touch with us on a regular basis and returned all phone calls promptly. Everyone was polite, friendly and professional.
I would recommend them to anyone. If we do any more remodeling, they will be our first call.

My husband and I looked for a bathroom remodeler in Wheaton and came across J&J Construction. After meeting with Joe and Elaine we were sold on the company. They did a wonderful job in our master bathroom. The layout was awkward and outdated so Joe gave us a few different options to make it more fluid. They also were able to take out our existing jacuzzi tub that hadn't been used in years and replace it with a huge walk in shower! We are so in love with how it turned out! I can't wait to get him started on the kids' bathroom.

We hired J&J to update our master bathroom. Overall, we were pleased with the job process and the finished product. Mike, the project manager, did a good job as our liaison with the project's sub-contractors. We did have an issue with one sub on a redo of some electrical work due to some miscommunication on whether internal or external medicine cabinets would fit in the existing space. However, this was resolved to our satisfaction with the owner Joe. This was our only significant issue during the project.

J&J strengths lie in their showroom, project management and a large volume of work that engenders subcontractor loyalty and performance. The process of selecting tile, cabinets, fixtures, etc. was fairly easy due to the ability to see these products before selection. Also, J&J uses Kohler products which are good quality and abundantly available on the web. This helped us with the choice and price of fixtures beyond what was included in J&J's contract.

Mike, the project manager, does stay in touch with you during the entire process. The subs were for the most part professional, and minor sub issues were addressed promptly by Mike. J&J also offers a five year warranty which was a significant plus in our consideration of contractors. The project ran about a week longer than anticipated, but much of that was attributable to the inspection process and the electrical issue previous mentioned.

For folks looking for a company that does a lot of bathroom remodels, with a systemized approach to the project, J&J is a good choice. As an aside, we had previous experience with other contractors during the construction of our home and a major basement remodel. Therefore, we had a good basis of comparison between J&J and other contractors. I would certainly consider J&J for future remodeling work.

We've used J&J Construction for a number of different projects over the past 15 years. I really can't narrow down just one thing that I liked because, in all honesty, everything was great. The quote we received was the price we paid- no nickle and diming or hidden costs later on. The time frame was precise. Joe discussed our projects with us, in detail, to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted and even made suggestions along the way that we never would have dreamt up. The construction team started when they promised, cleaned as they went, never leaving the house in disrepair, and they finished the projects when they said they would. The staff is incredible. They respected our home, always went above and beyond our expectations, and were extremely easy to work with, all around. It's privately owned, which means that your project is extremely important to them. You can always talk to someone if you have concerns or need anything at all.Best of all, we've never had any problems with any of the work that has been done, even after all this time. I recommend J&J to anyone who asks. You will love your experience if you use J&J Construction.

Our custom master and hall bath project marked our 4th remodeling project with J&J and just as with the other three projects this one went smoothly. Joe met with me at my house, to view the existing Jack n Jill bathroom and carefully listened to what we wanted to accomplish with the space. Within days Joe presented preliminary drawings converting the limited space into two custom baths.

When the project started Mario took over and covered every detail during construction to ensure we received the bathrooms we wanted. His skill in general carpentry and tile layout gave us the look we wanted and no detail was too small. In the end there is nothing we would change.

When problems came up (and they will with any remodeling project) Joe and Mario took care of everything and ensured we were satisfied. This is exactly why we keep coming back to J&J, I know they have my back and will do everything to ensure complete satisfaction not only during the project but for years to come in case the need arises.

Also I want to mention the work done in the back office by Elaine and Kayla. I know that it takes an entire team to keep a job moving smoothly and on schedule and both of them made this happen.

Thank you to the entire J&J family for another successful project.

J&J Construction = professional; the best. We contracted with J&J to install a three season room over ten years ago - 20 x 16 (not a small room). The designers, workers, management - everyone we dealt with over the time it took to construct our room were absolutely fabulous. We have never had a positive experience like that since in dealing with any third party. We continue to enjoy our room, using it nearly every day, even in the winter. Newcomers to our house remark on it each time. The normal unexpected problems associated with construction were dealt with immediately and courteously. Some specifics: J&J replaced the siding on the entire rear of the house as the addition's color did not quite match the original. Also, the cedar interior ceiling was replaced so that no joints existed. My wife and I can't recommend them highly enough. Joe's team is no fly-by-night organization and we vouch for the quality of their product, ten years later. Our project may be viewed on J&J's website (white house, second page of photos).

We rate J&J as the best company we have worked with. They helped us with our remodeling project that included adding a sunroom and a bathroom, upgrading three of our bathrooms and changing the floors of our dining and living rooms to wood floors. When Joe came to talk to us about the project, we were so much impressed by his honesty, sincerity and knowledge that we did not even talk to any other contractor for a quote. Joe came up with a great plan for us and emailed the sketch immediately. Their work should be rated as outstanding. Mike, who supervises the projects, is meticulous, considerate, caring and brilliant. Our project was completed in time and our lives were not interrupted a bit during the project. We referred J&J to our friends and I know that they were very happy with their improvement project completed by J and J. Our daughter had her condo bathroom floors and walls upgraded by J&J. We recommend them very highly to anyone with a home improvement project in mind.

If you have any remodeling that needs to be done, look no further than J&J Construction. We hired them to build a deck, and we liked them so much, we then hired them to build a four-season sunroom addition with a hot tub. We were so pleased with how that turned out that we then hired them to finish our basement. Joe, the owner, is great to work with. He quickly addressed any concerns or questions that we had, and he always kept us informed as to the status of our project. Mike, the project manager, was great, too. He always returned phone calls quickly and answered any questions we had. Their work crew was always professional, friendly, and most important to me, respectful of my home while they worked here. A few years ago, I contacted Joe to run an idea by him (putting a washer and dryer in our master bedroom closet). He could have just taken my money and did the job, but instead, he pointed out why it probably wasn't a good idea to do it. If that doesn't show honesty and integrity, I don't know what does. If you hire J&J, you won't be disappointed!

We interviewed a lot of companies when we decided to remodel our master bathroom and J&J was simply the best! Joe and the whole crew were great to work with. They were clean, on time, and very thorough. There weren’t any surprises and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We will definitely be using them again!

We hired J&J to remodel our main bathroom, and we were extremely pleased with the process / the timeline, the people involved, and the final project. They run a very communicative, well-organized business. Joe and the team (Elaine, Brandi, Mason, and more) truly want the client to be satisfied. Joe has a firm handle on which quality products available in the marketplace that his company offers in order to deliver a timely finished project. He is knowledgeable about (and thus avoids) up-to-the-minute supply chain limitations that we have grown familiar with over the past couple years. About mid-way through our project, as we realized what a positive decision it was to work with J&J, we consulted / hired them to re-build our cedar front porch roof, which was rotten / water damaged. They conveniently laced that project in with our existing bathroom project, which worked out really well. We will definitely use them on future projects.

I needed my kitchen remodeled and was referred to J&J. My wife and I were truly impressed with the team's expertise, as well as the end result of the kitchen. Joey, Joe, Elaine, Brandi and Mason are true professionals and we highly recommend their services.

J&J updated my primary and guest bathrooms. The work turned out perfect ! They were easy to work with, kept my home clean in the project and completed everything on-time.

J&J Construction just completed a total remodel of my master bathroom, and it looks terrific. Joe, Joey, Elaine, Brandi and Mason along with all the subcontractors were great to work with. I appreciate the professionalism, the expertise, the honesty and the reliability that this company exhibits. All the above mentioned personnel were easy to reach, knowledgeable and friendly. AND each step of the project was on time! I highly recommend J & J Construction of Illinois.

J&J Construction has once again delivered exceptional work on our screened porch project. As repeat customers, having previously engaged them for our kitchen remodel, we have come to trust their expertise and dedication. We described what we were looking for and they delivered with outstanding results. Their well-defined processes and unwavering commitment to customer care are the primary reasons we continue to choose J&J Construction for our home improvement projects. The team, which included Mason, Elaine and Brandi, demonstrated remarkable professionalism, ensuring that every detail was meticulously managed, resulting in a beautifully constructed porch that we will enjoy for years to come. We highly recommend J&J Construction for their outstanding craftsmanship and reliable service.

We recently completed a major home renovation project with J&J Construction , and overall, we’re incredibly happy with the experience. Our project included the addition of a new master bedroom and bathroom above our garage, converting the existing master into a loft space, and creating a new mud room and laundry room.

From the beginning, their process was very thorough and easy to follow. Joe, in particular, was fantastic to work with. He’s clearly experienced and extremely knowledgeable in his field. He had a clear understanding of the pros and cons of everything we were asking for and communicated them in a way that was direct (and yes sometime very blunt), but honest and easy for us to understand. We asked a lot of questions and he was always willing to answer without hesitation or impatience.

One of the parts of the project we were most anxious about was the selection process for fixtures, tile, colors, etc.. But honestly, that ended up being one of the smoother parts of the experience. Elaine was a huge help! She made what could’ve been a stressful experience surprisingly enjoyable.

In terms of pricing, while J&J surely isn’t the cheapest option, we found their approach to pricing and change orders to be completely transparent and fair. I credit much of this to their committed use of the "Buildertrend" app. Everything was clearly communicated, and we never ran into unexpected costs or surprises that weren't previously discussed or forecast. You definitely get what you pay for, and in this case, that meant not just a quality finished product but a quality experience as well.

Like most large projects, it wasn’t without a few bumps in the road. The company went through some team changes during our project which did result in a few hiccups in both communication and execution. I'll admit it was frustrating at times, but Joe was very receptive to our concerns and worked closely with us to address and resolve the issues. At the end of the day, his commitment to making things right really stood above the issues we faced.

In the end, we’re thrilled with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend J&J Construction to anyone looking for a high-quality, professional, and service-oriented contractor. Just know that you’re paying not only for excellent workmanship, but also for a team that genuinely cares about doing things the right way. For us, it was absolutely worth it.
