Mr. Jokela came out to do an estimate. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. He discovered the problem quickly. I would definitely use his company again and I recommend them.
Details: Yes, repair is urgent • Only one drain has issues • Clogging • Other issue • House

In August we had the Jokela group renovate a small bathroom in our house in Kalamazoo which was built in the 1950s. They removed the very old black-and-white checkered tile from the walls and then beautifully replastered them. The rest of the renovation (vanity, tub, surround, floor) went extremely well and my wife and I decided to ask for their help with another house we used to live in and still own.
It is an old house in Lansing (built around 1920s). It needed a lot of work; Plaster, kitchen, roof, painting, carpet complete w floor plan changes in bath and kitchen, siding repair and more. It has been difficult in the past for me to find a full-service general contractor with the experience and the know how to solve problems in an older home like this. Many will simply not return my calls. Houses this old and older were often not built to accommodate modern developments in rooms like bathrooms-so redoing one in a house like this can be problematic.
The Jokela group makes it look easy. More importantly, if and when unforeseen issues arise Dennis Jokela is quick to communicate and discuss options. Also, there were times when he noticed issues and made adjustments based on his experience and know-how that were right on track. I enthusiastically recommend Dennis and his crew for general contracting work. Especially if like myself if you have had trouble finding contractors who are knowledgeable about and willing to work on small, older homes.

Dennis was a little short staffed because he did the work to my home during the week of the fourth of July. He did a great job with my windows and I have yet to have or see any problems. I only did half of the windows on my home when I am ready he will be the first person I call to finish the job.

The Jokela Group was AMAZING! Very professional and detail oriented. Understanding and patient with any changes I wanted to make. He walked me through any questions I had. I would highly recommend this company to all. My kitchen remodel looks magazine ready! Thanks again!

Had 4 ceiling fans installed into rooms without a fixture in place. Had a broken rafter fixed with a sister board. Dennis made the process very easy and was able to fix my project into his schedule quickly. Price was fair and workmanship was quality. The ceiling fans were initially mounted on a down rod, and when I requested they be redone to be flush with the ceiling, the work was completed within 3 days. Very pleased.
