General Contractor reviews in Englewood, New Jersey

If I could vote no stars I would I am a electrician and was contracted by this guy to come in and do the electrical work. He was good with payment til the final payment he left without paying me. He is the worst does drugs and everything that he says is a lie. He will rob you and leave without 1 completing a job or doing the work correctly.

Manny (Manuel Garcia, owner) accepted a down payment for a job, did less than 10% of the work, and never showed up again. He stopped answering phone calls and text messages once he had the money.

I would strongly urge against using him, as I am now considering taking him to small claims court.

On 3/20/20 I allowed in on my home upon his return from Mexico here in Englewood to follow up on some promised work. I've known him for over five years and had several discussions with him on morse place. I left him in my home to take care of an outside matter. Upon my return he said he had to go. Work was incomplete. On 3/29 I got a text from PayPal regarding fraudulent activity. He was taking $5000. From my account. How could he stoop so low!!! This i found later wasn not the case and I had made a grave mistake i hope they will a cent my deepest apologies

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU CONTACT THIS COMPANY.
I had the unfortunate experience of hiring JMG to complete my basement and bathroom renovation. Prior to signing the contract the owner of this company, Jesus Manuel Garcia, behaved professionally, was always on time for meetings and called me several times. He has since abandoned the job. On 4 separate occasions he told me his “crew” would be at my home to work only for no one to show up. Upon signing the contract he guaranteed that once we are his client, he is available to us 24/7. Another empty empty promise, he is one of the hardest people to reach. He is not an honest contractor. He asked me not to speak in my own home while he was on the phone with a client. He did not want the client to hear he was at my home doing work. This was a major red flag but I had already signed the contract.

He stated that the job will only take 1-2 weeks to complete and insisted that I give him 50% deposit (in addition to purchasing the materials). This was a huge mistake on my part because now I am out thousands of dollars and Manuel Garcia will not return my phone calls. I am writing this review so this does not happen to anyone else. I have copies of emails.. text messages for anyone who would like to see how he conducts business. Feel free to contact

Horrible people

Terrible! They sign Contracts and then screw small businesses by not paying them. They think they can get away with it but they won’t. They will see me in Court!

Horrible property manager. Doesn’t reply to maintenance requests. One apartment has roaches literally floor to ceiling which are migrating to other apartments. The dumpster is over flowing constantly. The roof had a leak due to negligence and no maintenance 4 months ago and came through 2 apartments above us into our apartment. The water damage hasn’t been fixed and there is mold making the tenants and pets sick. It got into the electrical and they haven’t sent out an electrician. The fire department cut the power and they sent maintenance to turn it back on without having it repaired. Maintenance stated they didn’t know what to do about the mold and left. Code enforcement has been contacted and reached out and still no repairs have been made. Apartments don’t have fire/carbon monoxide detectors. Drug activity day and night. Squatters in the empty apartments (in a secure building bc they won’t change the locks). Calls and emails go unanswered. Their response to the repairs was to put the building up for sale and send cleaners out in the middle of the night to clean the hallway for Zillow photos. The walls are cracking, the floors are sagging, we have mold and pests. A notice was put on the door about pest control every Thursday to appease code. We took our pets out so the apartment could be treated and went to work. Maintenance never showed up to spray for pests. Trying to cover up to get the building sold and off their backs. This has been ongoing for almost a year. DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE. Oak st, Binghamton, NY.

Shady at best. Lots of construction done after 9pm in building and no one is licensed or has insurance. One night I stopped by my office around 10:45 pm working on a deadline and saw a group of men working, when I asked who’s moving in, they all just packed up and left. Building was in great shape when they took over 2 years ago but now it’s falling apart, it looks abandoned and so neglected. The last company use to paint, repair, and even stop by just to say hello, now it’s just unanswered calls, full voicemail, lights not working, bathrooms not working, it’s just so sad. Can’t wait till my lease is up. Just gotta hang on for 1 more year.
