Reid, James Luther
Jim is a nice person, but his work is very poor / not professional / sub par / questionable. He tells you he will be at the job, but then doesn't show up nor does he call to advise he won't be showing up. Communication is an absolute problem...you call and call, but hardly ever get a response - you finally give up. If you've got an ENDLESS amount of time for a job to get completed and don't require communication, then JR Construction Group may be for you. He did do some extra work requested which was appreciated. All in all, the job got done, but we had to help him at the end to get the job finished. We would not recommend JR Construction Group.
