Excellent work! I highly recommend J & G Building Maintenance and Home Services. They were very professional from start to finish. The pricing was clear and upfront, and everything that was going to be done was explained thoroughly before the work began. They arrived on time, communicated well throughout the entire process, and the quality of the work was excellent. I absolutely love how everything turned out—it looks beautiful! I’m extremely happy with the results and would definitely hire them again for future projects. Highly recommended!

James did an amazing job with removing our old attic door and replacing the new one. When he inspected the new one at Lowes before picking it up he noticed a flaw and asked for a replacement, when they said they didn’t have one he had then return 10% of the cost of the door back to my card, and he made the necessary repair to the new door. I felt like he was on my side. Can’t recommend him enough. We’ll be using him for our next project.
