Verified record
J Heaney Construction is a family-owned Mont Vernon, New Hampshire contractor that says it specializes in restoring antique barns and homes, sill replacement, and foundation and structural repair, alongside exterior renovation work. The company describes itself as owner-operated by Jeb Heaney, in business 25 years, and lists itself as a New Hampshire Preservation Alliance preferred contractor. The public record is thin and largely negative. One 2024 reviewer said work the company performed had to be redone and that a warranty was never honored. Another described company employees catcalling them from a vehicle — behavior unrelated to any actual job but troubling on its own. A 2025 reviewer said a five-minute estimate visit for a restoration project ended with a recommendation to tear the structure down instead, at an estimated cost of $30,000 or more. Against that, one reviewer in early 2024 described a more reassuring interaction: the company looked at a sill plate issue and told them honestly that no repair was needed, saving them money rather than selling unnecessary work. Given the mix — and the seriousness of the redo-and-no-warranty complaint in particular — get a second opinion on scope and cost before committing to a restoration job here, and ask directly about warranty terms up front.
“whose company specializes in restoring old barns and homes”
“Jeb specializes in the restoration of older barns and homes. Sill replacement specialist. meticulous yet reasonable.”
I had a man come out to provide a free estimate today, after rescheduling several weeks. He spent approximately 5 minutes here..His solution to my restoration project was to tear it down. He then told me I'd be spending 30k or more, I told him if that was the budget than what would he do? He couldn't answer the question. He told me the consultation was free today but asked for gas money!? He gave me no plan, no thoughts on restoration and spent 0 time actually looking at the barn. As he left he asked for gas money again. Complete waste of time and a surreal experience. I've never had a contractor come into my home and act like that. I would not recommend calling this company to anyone.
Your employees cat called me and my friends. I've never used this service and now I never plan to, and I will tell everyone I know to not if you hire creeps that think it's fun to drive by people who are just enjoying their day and feel the need to be disgusting.
If you were considering using John Heaney construction,please run as fast as you can.I am out a considerable amount of hard earned money as nearly everything he did is damaged and has to be redone.He never honored a warranty of his work and has refused to be a professional and offer to fix or reimburse me for everything that is cracked,chipped,broken etc.He should not be in business.I would have put ZERO stars but Google would not let me post without filling out a star.This disaster has wiped me out financially and the stress has affected my health greatly .Do not trust him with your precious property!
Had them out to look at some sill plate issues, After seeing the issue their opinion was that it did not need repair. I appreciate the honesty and saving me money.
