In a 2019 review, Stan and his crew did an interior renovation, taking down a wall to create an open concept living space, adding a few windows and installing a backsplash. A 2018 review said Stan and his crew showed up every morning on time and cleaned up every afternoon while building a porch that "came out better than I imagined." In a 2017 review, Stan and his team replaced 9 tricky windows and a front porch deck at a fair price. A 2017 review described Stan fixing a rotted basement sill and cracked floor joist ahead of a home inspection, readjusting his schedule to fit. In a 2018 review, Stan removed a tub and replaced it with a shower for the reviewer's parents after a fair estimate. A 2024 BuildZoom review of a kitchen redo and bedroom addition, costing over $50k, described cabinets falling off their hinges within a month, plumbing done incorrectly and a stove vent sealed so that smoke and cooking smells fill the house. In a 2018 review, plaster buried several outlets and the paint and trim were rushed, with the plaster never fixed.
I hired this company to redo my kitchen, and add on a bedroom. They were quite pleasant and I was excited to work with them at first. The owners did not do the work themselves, they sent various contractors. Within less than a month of completion, cabinets were falling off of the hinges. Also found a lot of damage that they did to my cabinets and walls that they never repaired. Handles were put on the wrong side of some of the cabinet drawers. Holes were drilled incorrectly, causing them to have to drill more holes for the knobs to fit. Drilling was careless... cabinets splintering in places, sawdust everywhere. Plumbing was done incorrectly and I had to pay someone to fix even though I paid these guys to do it already. Stove was previously vented up through my roof... they decided to seal that and vent it into my house, so all the smoke and cooking smells now fill my house. When I sent Stan my concerns and pictures of what his people did and asked for him to stop by to see for himself, he couldn't be bothered. He sent an 80 year old half blind hunchback man who showed up and told me they fired the other carpenter and he proceeded to patch things (poorly) that the other guy missed. Months later, my and my husband are still fixing things. This was over $50k and is a nightmare. Run in the other direction!
Hired Stan to do some odd jobs around my home stan and his workers listen to what you want suggests his ideas but at no time are you pressured into doing anything you don’t want to do Stan is very professional reliable friendly craftsman ship is top notch definitely recommend him for any type of remodel you may need
Stan and his crew were great! I got the impression that Stan cares about doing a good job and does not overcharge for it. Small kitchen remodel and roof both done perfectly and quickly. Will definitely use Stan for any other work in my house!
Stan and team were great. They worked with me on price and did good work. I would definitely recommend them
Stan and his crew did an interior renovation at my house. They took down a wall to create an open concept living space. Added a few windows and installed a backsplash. He was extremely thorough throughout the process. Everything was clearly outlined. Exceeded my expectations. A pleasure to work with and will definitely call MKJC again for any future needs.
