2JJ GENERAL CONSTRUCTION

2JJ General Construction is an Everett outfit reviewers keep hiring back for finish work — deck and furniture staining, exterior painting, and the occasional drywall fix. Thumbtack lists Paulo Ramos as the owner running a crew of three; how long the company has been at it depends on who you ask, with Thumbtack putting it at four years while Angi's self-reported profile claims eight. The clearest thread through the reviews is care with the finish. Thumbtack customers in 2024 and 2025 described Paulo as quick, friendly, and detail-oriented on deck and furniture staining jobs, with one calling the work extremely detail-oriented and worth hiring again. On Google, a run of five-star reviews from February through April 2025 echo the same themes — punctual, professional, fairly priced. That isn't the whole picture. In a September 2025 review, a customer described the crew returning to fix a sheetrock ceiling repair, but said the imperfections were still visible with the lights on and that a request for a partial refund went unresolved. It's the one specific complaint in an otherwise short, mostly positive history, and worth asking about directly — how they handle a fix that doesn't fully take. Angi shows the company as new to that platform with no reviews yet, and its license line there is self-reported and unverified — nothing here confirms registration through the state. Before booking, it's worth asking Paulo directly about licensing and getting any repair-quality issue addressed in writing. 2JJ looks like a solid fit for staining and exterior painting jobs, where reviewers have been consistently pleased — just go in with clear expectations if the work involves interior repair, given the one unresolved complaint.
