J&E Corp builds patios, walls and outdoor living space north of Boston, and the gap between its short jobs and its long ones is stark. An April 2026 customer had a new patio, pathway and lawn put in after building an addition and recommended the crew without qualification. An April 2025 customer had an existing patio connected to the driveway and a crushed stone shed pad laid, the whole thing done in one day. The company says a father and son, Juan and Eduardo, founded it in 2016 and run it as vice president and CEO. It works Woburn, Winchester, Lexington, Concord, Newton and the towns around them, doing landscaping, masonry, outdoor living spaces and gunite pools for homes and light-commercial sites. Where it is praised, the praise is concrete. A May 2024 customer took three patio estimates and chose J&E on the strength of the portfolio. Another that month hired them for a collapsed walkout-basement retaining wall and was persuaded by how Ed talked through the septic field and tank standing in the way. In an October 2023 review, a homeowner facing a hard deadline to list their house said Eduardo corrected the mess a previous contractor had left. A 2022 customer said the crew built the design their landscape architect had drawn, and another that year cited no surprises and no delays. The trouble is on the large jobs, and it is recent. In an August 2025 review, a customer who hired the company for grading, a retaining wall and fencing said that once work began the story kept changing and the excuses started. Another August 2025 customer said a vinyl pool liner, patio and heater job booked for three to four weeks from late April was still unresolved well into the following summer. A September 2024 customer advised others against using the company for large projects. And a January 2025 customer wrote that after they posted their review, Eduardo offered them $1,000 to take it down. The Better Business Bureau grades the company F for failing to respond to four of the six complaints filed against it, and it is not accredited. Even the four-star review from May 2024 came with a list of things the customer thought others should know before hiring, which they believed had been or would be sorted out after speaking with Ed. For a patio, a walkway or a wall — a defined job a crew can finish in days — that is the work customers describe going smoothly. For a pool or a full backyard build, put the schedule, the payment stages and what happens if the dates slip into the contract before signing, and keep everything in writing.
Ed and Juan ( their entire crew) did an excellent job by putting a new patio, pathway and lawn after I built an addition. I highly recommend E&J to your next project.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY-ABSOLUTELY THE WORST We use J&E Corp for sone backyard work (grading, retaining wall, fencing) At first Eduardo seemed pretty on top of it. Once the work started, his story kept changing and the excuses started. We wanted to back yard grade level and he said it would be. When the work started, we questioned the leveling as the yard was still graded pretty steep. He said that we woudl have to pay extra!!!!!!!!!! This was in Late fall 2024 and he was going to come back in Spring 2025 and finish the remainder of the work (final grading, top soil, etc). After several attempts to call him, he would not answer and would text back saying he was away. We insisted that we had to get the work complete as we were installing a sprinkler system and getting hydroseed sprayed. As we were on a time crunch (after trying to reach him for 45 days) we got another landscaper to finish the work, costing us a lot more. (Eduardo already had our money). Once we got the new contractor, I posted a review on Google, that's when Eduardo called me asking me to take the review down. He offered to pay us back the money for the pending work if I would take the review down. I have not yet received the refund for the incompleted work!!! THis guys is dishonest. Do not use him unless you would like to lose your money.
Absolutely avoid this company — hire literally anyone else. We hired Eddie Henriquez / J&E to install a new vinyl liner, redo our patio, and add a heater. The job was supposed to take 3–4 weeks starting in late April. We are now well into the next summer, and the results are a nightmare. Liner issues: The liner was installed terribly — wrinkles everywhere, sharp spikes underneath, and the condition is visibly getting worse. Every time I look at it, I think of this company. I have full photo and video documentation. Plumbing & water problems: After they finished, we started losing water. They cut our waste pipe, and to this day I’m not sure if the leak was ever properly fixed. The two returns that do work bubble or fizz oddly. I’m relieved I didn’t pay for their initial water delivery, because it would have literally gone to waste. They also had to retrench more than once because they jumped the gun — pulling out pavers and digging trenches again — which likely caused further damage. Heater never delivered: We spent a ton on electrical to prep the space for a heater that never arrived. Months of “3–5 day” promises went nowhere. Refund promise broken: After repeated follow-ups, Eddie agreed to refund us a very reasonable portion of the cost in four installments starting toward the beginning of the year (around April–May at the latest). We gave him a lot of leeway because we doubted we’d get anything if we went public too soon. Here we are in August: we’ve only received one payment. He occasionally replies to my payment inquiries but now claims work is “slow” so he can’t pay. Bottom line: hiring them cost us money, time, and peace of mind. The workmanship is poor, deadlines mean nothing, and promises — both for work and for repayment — are not kept. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. The deck they did was good but completely messed our pool up.
Wonderful work Very professional crew. They completed the job in a timely fashion and were kind and personable. Despite incredibly hot conditions they worked fast. Unlike many other crews who have worked in my home, they were gentleman. No one smoked on the property and they kept everything tidy.
Ed, Juan and the rest of the team did a great job. We were looking to have an existing patio in the backyard connected with our driveway and a crushed stone shed pad installed. It all came out exactly as we envisioned. They did everything in one day. Couldn’t have gone smoother. Some photos are attached (need to work on that grass next!).
