Concrete Floor Installation

We hired JB to put in a short driveway and repair some broken concrete in front of our garage. It was a joint project with the next door neighbors, who also needed their bluestone sidewalk replaced with concrete in order to make a workable driveway. I asked if I could have the salvaged bluestone. JB took care of the city permits, and the workers were there at 8 AM, prying up bluestone and piling it neatly in my back yard. The driveway looks great.

Concrete Flatwork - Repair & Resurface
My wife and I cannot speak highly enough about Joe Battaglia the owner of JB General Contracting and his staff. We needed sidewalk work as well as a new driveway. We contacted several contractors and met with them. Joe was on top of the situation from the very beginning. He provided a thorough and competitive proposal. He spent time with us answering our questions and sharing his insight and experience which helped us make a decision to choose him as our contractor. Once we signed a contract he immediately went to work and was ready to start the job in record time. He was involved in every aspect of the job. His employees were on time, courteous and very professional. They were also helpful during the work to help us understand what they were doing. The job was done in the time frame Joe stated and he was there every step of the way. We highly recommend JB General Contracting. Doug and Deb B.

Concrete Patios, Walks & Steps- Install
Joe at JB Contracting is a seasoned professional. I was hit with a sidewalk violation and was looking for a reliable and quality cement/concrete contractor who also knew the innerworkings of dealing with NYC. Working with JB was a pleasure. From filing for the permits, to the craftsmanship of the final product and ultimately getting the violation removed, JB was great. From my first conversation with Joe, he proved to be responsive, reliable and honest. You can't go wrong with JB.

Concrete Floor Installation
JB General Contracting poured a new concrete slab for our house. I was looking for a contractor who could do the job immediately. Joe, the owner of JB contracting, pulled it off. With Joe's no-nonsense approach, clear communication, and on-the-job presence, JB Contracting made it happen. Joe cares about the quality of the work and followed up the day after the job was finished. I highly recommend JB Contracting; they did a phenomenal job in no time.

Joe is a very rare find in the contracting world. He doesn't play games, gives a fair and honest estimate, is responsive, attentive, and fast. He completed everything we agreed upon, addressed any concerns I had, and the job turned out great. He also followed up with me after the job to make sure I was happy with the work. JB is my go to contractor for projects. This was my 3rd major project with them in two years.

**Recommendation for JB Contracting** I had the pleasure of working with Joe, the owner of JB Contracting, on a recent project, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Joe was incredibly attentive and punctual throughout the entire process, ensuring that every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The project involved the demolition of a concrete floor, leveling of the ground, and the pouring and finishing of a new concrete slab. Joe and his team executed the work efficiently and to a high standard, delivering exactly what was promised. The quality of the finished product exceeded my expectations, and it was clear that Joe takes great pride in his work. I truly appreciate the dedication and expertise that Joe brought to the project, and I look forward to working with him and JB Contracting again in the future. I highly recommend JB Contracting to anyone in need of reliable and skilled contracting services.

Joe Battaglia of JB Construction was a pleasure to work with. An honest man with highly qualified crew who did exactly what he said he would do for exactly what he said it would cost. From procuring permits to the final perfect scoring of the concrete, it was a perfect.

We had two projects 1) remove & replace existing parking lot with 6" cement and wire 6"x6"x10 mesh and 2) repair roof valley, cap and seal top of north wall, repoint & waterproofing entire north wall. First the company was extremely responsive to all our concerns including those of our neighboring properties. They did everything they were contracted to do with excellent results. They kept us fully informed on their progress. We were impressed with the thoroughness of their work. Clearly we highly recommend them.

Joe and his team are great. They are very punctual and won't take your deposit and then desert you for a week like some other contractors. Joe doesn't just 'eyeball' a figure for your work--he calculates and takes notes to get you the accurate price. And he was able to accommodate a last-minute job with perfection--and if the job isn't perfect he will work to make it so. I definitely recommend him!

Joe and JB General Contractors have done it again!!! They have exceeded all expectations with the quality of the work and the concierge services. We previously used JB for a sidewalk replacement project in Sept 2023 so it was a no brainer to return to them when severe April storms revealed leaks in my parent's home roof and sliding was blown off in the storm. Joe was onsite on a Saturday to assess the work needed, produce an estimate with various scenarios for siding replacement and provide expertise on choosing the appropriate replacement products. His detailed estimate and photos were of great help in obtaining an appropriate insurance reimbursement for the storm damage. The project was underway before I returned to my home in California and Joe provided regular reports and pictures to document the project progress. I felt so comfortable that my 90 year old parents and their life long home were in great hands when I boarded my plane. Thank you Joe and everyone at JB Contractors! It is so refreshing to find a company that has old fashion family values that are passed on from generation to generation as they take on the responsibility for running the company!

Purchased a fixer-upper seven years ago and have been using JB construction for the total redevelopment of this house. The place was built in 1901 and hadn’t been touched since and it looked rough. With the projects that we have been able to complete thus far, I can honestly say that this home is now livable and is enjoyable. I have used JB Construction to redo the front of my house and with this most recent project, Joe and his team created a washer/dryer connection and closet from an unused space in the house and it looks great! The first thing I like about working with Joe is the professionalism of he and his team. The second thing I like about JB Construction is the fact that they are on time and when the job is done, my expectations are set. And the most important thing about working with Joe is the fact that he can take my idea, about an improvement I want to do in the house, and make it look great.
