Google lists 4.5 stars from 28 ratings, and its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration is active. Customers writing from 2022 through 2025 describe completed outdoor projects in detail. A May 2025 customer hired John to strip, recolor and seal a stamped-concrete porch, praising his explanation of the materials and willingness to work toward the desired color. In June 2024, another customer described replacement vinyl deck railings, an adjustment for unusually wide stairs, and cleaning and regrouting a patio John had installed years earlier. Two September–August 2024 reviewers explicitly said they had hired the company more than once. A May 2023 fence customer compared five quotes and said John’s was about $500 lower. That customer described a larger fenced area at no additional cost and an installation completed the week of the request. A separate 2023 customer praised patio-step installation and said John made corrections without hesitation. There are also serious complaints. A June 2026 customer alleged that a planned week-long pool-landscaping, gate and deck-stair project stretched into a year, remained unfinished and was abandoned after payment. The customer reported repeated missed appointments and an uninstalled gate left on the ground. A June 2025 reviewer described a patio problem they ultimately fixed themselves after unfulfilled promises. In an update, that customer disputed John’s account of the work and said they blocked him after numerous texts following the review. **Strengths:** - Concrete refinishing — a May 2025 customer praised porch recoloring and sealing - Repeat customers — two 2024 reviewers described hiring JHJ for multiple projects - Fence pricing — a May 2023 customer reported the lowest of five quotes **Concerns:** - Unfinished paid project — a June 2026 customer alleged abandonment after a year - Patio repair dispute — a June 2025 customer reported fixing the problem themselves ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration is active _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT hic license HIC.0624673 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: J H J LANDSCAPING LLC” - A June 2026 customer alleged a paid pool-landscaping, gate and stair project remained unfinished after a year and repeated missed appointments _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21wdGJHMVlXa2d3VVUxWFFXRnlhbTkzYzBJMlkyYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x9264c5779c97e91e!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmptbG1YWkgwUU1XQWFyam93c0I2Y2c%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “1★ ❌ DO NOT HIRE: Unprofessional, Incomplete Work, and Countless Excuses Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ (0/5 Stars) I hired John Horant for a residential p…” - A June 2025 patio customer said they fixed a problem themselves after unfulfilled promises, disputed John’s response and blocked repeated texts _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQ1MHBiTV9RRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x9264c5779c97e91e!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgID50pbM_QE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “1★ Simple job started out great but after a problem appeared got lots of excuses and unfilled promises.
