JR's Home Improvement is a Joseph Fernandes-owned general contracting shop in Attleboro, working roofing, siding, windows and room remodels/additions across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The company's own site is vague on how long it's been around — one page says 'over 27 years,' another 'over 20' — but BBB records place its file opening back to 2008. The written record is split by era. Three reviews posted in July and August 2026 describe real trouble: a floating-floor installation that used nails where it shouldn't have, crews that reportedly worked an hour or two and then disappeared for the day, a three-room remodel that dragged past two years, and work other companies had to redo afterward. Earlier reviews tell a different story — in a December 2025 review, a homeowner whose 2019 roof lost ridge shingles in a storm said the company fixed it at no charge; a February 2026 review described an ice dam cleared within 12 hours; and reviews from 2025 and 2023 praised a window-replacement job and general fairness. Google shows 3.5 stars from 8 ratings overall, with the negative cluster concentrated in the most recent months. Worth asking about directly: recent reviewers describe inconsistent crew attendance and a very long remodel timeline, a different pace than the earlier jobs on record. BuildZoom's profile for this business also aggregates several same-named Massachusetts companies under different listed owners, so any licence number there besides the state-verified one (140779, held by Fernandes) should be treated with caution. BBB separately flags an older Guild Ave file as 'believed to be out of business,' though BuildZoom shows permits filed as recently as 2024 at the current Washington Street address. They look like a safer bet for exterior work — roofing and windows — where the record stays more consistently positive across the years; for anything larger, like a multi-room remodel, get a firm written timeline before signing given the recent complaints about pace and follow-through.
Unprofessional, unreliable, how does one use nails on a Floating Floor? typical workday cosisted of 1 or 2 people showing up for an hour, maybe 2 hours and dissapeared for the day.
We hired them for a simple 3 room remodel. They took over 2 1/2 years to complete it. They built an entire neighborhood behind us before the finished what they were hired for. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! If you do, you'll have to pay other companies to repair their shoddy work. EVERY SINGLE THING they were hired to do at our home had to be redone by other companies.
Highly recommend. Removed ice dam within 12 hours of initial contact. Fast and friendly. Thank you!
I had a new roof put on in 2019. It’s one of those steep gothic style houses so it’s a pretty good sized job. Joe and his crew had it done in a couple of days. About a month ago there was a storm and the next day I noticed that some ridge shingles were missing. I had 2 holes in my roof. I called Joe and when he came to fix it he discovered that it was caused by a branch that had fallen. I figured that it wouldn’t be covered by the warranty because it was not due to an installation issue. I asked Joe what I owed him and he said nothing. I am very happy with the work that Joe and his crew have done.
