A yellow jacket nest in a living room ceiling, an addition whose rotted footings left the room at risk of falling off the house, a whole-house renovation after a father's life there: the Google reviews of JJM Builders cover a lot of ground. The Milford general contractor says on its website that it serves the Greater New Haven and Fairfield County area, and two reviews name Josh, one of them as Josh Michels, as the owner. It has 67 Google ratings averaging 5 stars, plus six each on HomeAdvisor and Angi at 5.0, and 12 Google reviews in the last six months. The big jobs are recent. A July 2026 reviewer described a complete whole-house renovation of their father's home ahead of its sale, with Josh guiding it from beginning to end. Another July 2026 review says that after ice damming caused water damage, the crew renovated two bathrooms and turned former closets into a new primary bathroom with a walk-in shower, and that Josh worked with the homeowners insurance on the claim. A September 2026 review describes a main-floor master suite with a bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet, with Josh keeping the family up to date in real time whether the job was ahead of schedule or waiting on material. In October 2026, a customer wrote that the company finished a custom home they had bought unfinished, after Josh inspected the existing work and gave a detailed estimate. The smaller jobs read the same way. An August 2026 review describes a 28-inch interior door swapped for a 30-inch one at a very reasonable price, and two April 2026 reviews describe the ceiling repair after the yellow jackets, one noting that the crew sealed the entry points. Older reviews add a deck rebuilt in a 2025 review, a load-bearing wall removed between a living room and kitchen in November 2025, and a November 2025 account of a new roof, chimney, gutters, siding, deck and fencing plus refinished hardwood floors after a tree fell on a house. In an August 2025 review, the customer with the rotted footings said Josh came out on almost no notice and had a crew repairing it within a few days, then went on to replace windows and vinyl siding. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0612011, is active, held by JJM Builders LLC. Its BBB grade is an A+. Its written record on Google runs back to 2018.
“For a general contractor call [JJM Builde”
“I personally know the owner of JJM Builders, LLC and he's a great guy. His company will cover all your contracting needs.”
My husband and I purchased a custom home that I absolutely fell in love with, but it was not finished. We knew it was going to be an enormous undertaking, but we also knew exactly who we needed to get the job done. Josh and JJM Builders, of course! On day one, Josh inspected everything that was already done, determined what needed to be completed and provided a detailed estimate for the work. Josh is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. I changed some things from the original designs and Josh and his team were always pleasantly accommodating. They made everything work to make sure I was happy with the results. The entire team is professional, respectful and really know their crafts. Attention to detail goes without saying. JJM Builders has also done work for some of my family and we will always be repeat customers! Absolutely recommend this fantastic company.
Josh and his team created a beautiful main floor master suite for our family, including a bedroom, bathroom and walk in closet. Because of such a large project, our main requirement was great communication. Josh nailed that. Whether we were ahead of schedule or waiting on material, Josh kept us up to date in real time, never leaving us waiting when we had a question or concern. His good communication carries through to his (teams) workmanship as well. The final product turned out to be something we’ll thoroughly enjoy for years to come. Thanks guys, we love the new space!
I had the opportunity to work with Josh through my HOA on a kitchen renovation project. Although it was a stressful process but Josh always kept me up-to date on the progress and provided support throughout the completion of the project. Josh was always available to answer my questions and went the extra mile to ensure the project was completed and wrapped up in a timely manner. I truly appreciate all his hard work on my kitchen renovation. Therefore, I am confident that I will use JJM Builders for any of my future home renovations and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional and reliable contractor!
We asked JJM Builders to replace an interior 28”door with a 30” door. Josh showed up on time and looked over the job. He said they could do it and quoted us a very reasonable price. On the day of the job, Josh arrived with Chris and Jose. Chris and Jose were very friendly and professional. They did a great job of protecting the area around the job site and when they were through, we had a perfectly installed 30” door. I would not hesitate to call JJM Builders for another job.
Josh and his team exceeded every expectation we had throughout our renovation. After our home sustained ice damming with significant water damage, they completely renovated two bathrooms and transformed our former master closets into a stunning new primary bathroom with a beautiful walk-in shower. From day one, communication was exceptional. Josh took the time to walk us through every material we needed before construction began, making the entire process organized and stress-free. He was always easy to reach, consistently answered his phone, and responded quickly to text messages whenever we had questions. He worked VERY well with our homeowners insurance to ensure the damage and repairs were understood by our insurance for restitution. We especially appreciated his honesty and integrity—he never looked for opportunities to add unnecessary costs to the project. Instead, whenever an issue arose, he clearly explained the situation, presented our options, and let us make informed decisions. Beyond the incredible craftsmanship, what truly set Josh apart was the experience he created. We learned so much from him throughout the project, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about delivering the best possible result. His carefully curated team was professional, respectful, and took pride in their work. Over the course of the renovation, they became like family, and we're genuinely going to miss seeing them each day. The finished spaces are more beautiful than we ever imagined, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We wholeheartedly recommend Josh and his team to anyone looking for a contractor they can trust, and we look forward to working with them again on future home projects.
