"JJB was great from start to finish. They were responsive to our initial inquiry, responded to any all all questions in a timely manner, did great work, and everything was completed (site visit, quote, adjustments to plans and cost, and all of the actual work) in less than one month's time! We wanted to change a barn door setup that was separating a bedroom from a bathroom into a pocket door, and they handled closing off the wall and installing the new door. We also worked with them to get both sides of the wall (and the rest of the bedroom walls) painted. Finally, they helped with some floor repairs due to wood underneath the carpet having caved in in a few small spots."

"I called to get information on a drywall issue I was facing. the gentleman stated that he himself could not complete the project but gave me great advice on several options. He spent quality time outlining each option, the pros and cons, all while being patient and courteous. He may not be able to complete this particular project, but I will definitely keep him in mind for other drywall projects I may have."

"As all the other reviews mention, Andry can be difficult to understand due to the language barrier and accent. When I called to schedule an inspection for a quote, he just said he would be in town on Sunday & would call me when he would arrive. Instead of calling to say he would be there in an approximate time, he called when he was outside the house, which was unfortunate because I had just run to the store and had to turn around immediately. When he came back out to sign the actual contract/invoice, he did call to give me an approximate arrival time so I could plan to be home. The original quote was written on the back of a business card. If it wasn't for the other reviews, I would have dismissed him outright.
I had a corner of the foundation that was seriously cracked and chipping away. It was mostly a stucco exterior, but the underlying concrete was damaged too. He came on Sunday to sign the contract and came back on Monday to do the work. I came home from work that day to find him cleaning up after restoring the entire side of my foundation. It was beautifully done and looks like solid work. The only downside is that it doesn't match the other 3 sides because they have a "roughed up" white stucco look. He told me that I could easily paint the concrete to match, which I may or may not do. I like Andry's work much better than the original look of the white stucco exterior. It's a nice seamless piece of work.
I regret not taking a "before" pic because he took a worn out, crumbling slab of foundation and made it fresh & new.

"A true professional. Punctual, knowledgeable, and in constant pursuit of excellence. This was an unusual project for me and I couldn’t imagine how it would be done. A very heavy Mahogany wooden dummy for Kung ** practice mounted on the wall. Not only did Ryan make it (and me) feel safe and secure, he helped me envision the perfect placement. It now looks like a beautiful piece of art. Honest & full of integrity and kindness."

"A building inspection I had done on my lovely lannonstone home (built in 1939) suggested there might be structural or drain tile problems in the basement. Jeff scheduled a wuick appointment and honestly told me that the leakage could be solved by mudjacking portions of the driveway adjacent to the area of leakage, a much less experienced and messy solution. I very much appreciated his honesty and fair dealing. He also walked the entire perimeter of the house to evaluate the landscape grading and emailed me a written report of his visit the next day."

"I have worked with contractors in the past but, never had such kind, courteous, punctual, and patient young men as Jovon and Jeremy. They worked with me on the situation I was in. My neighbor was going to install my storm door for free but he ended up in a cast due to a work injury. So now I'm stuck. I contact Angi to get some Quotes. Jovon set up the appointment. Arrived on time. Just toward the end of the install we discover I had ordered the door to wide I had a 36" and I needed a 32". So then I went online to find the right door. Jovon and Jeremy gave me another appointment for the next day, They arrived at 10 AM and went out of their way to take me back to Menards to exchange the door. I Will RECOMMEND these wonderful guys to every one I hear of that needs work done. Jovon and Jeremy I Thank you for doing a great job at an affordable price. ."

FAQs for security bars service projects in Milwaukee, WI

Window security bars create a physical barrier that discourages quick entry, making most intruders move on to an easier target. Properly installed bars can also help keep children and pets from accidental falls, giving homeowners added peace of mind. 

To maximize both safety and security, have a licensed professional install quick-release hardware that meets local egress requirements.

Installing window security bars is legal in most areas, but local building codes often require emergency-egress features and quick-release hardware. Some states and municipalities, including California, Mississippi, and Texas, prohibit permanently closed burglar bars to prevent occupants from becoming trapped in the event of a fire. 

Before installing window security bars, review local and state regulations for setback requirements, operable hardware, and fire safety compliance. This ensures your installation meets legal standards while keeping your home secure and accessible in the event of an emergency.

Window security bars enhance home safety features and appeal to buyers who prioritize protection. Properties with professionally installed window security bars often qualify for lower homeowners insurance premiums, offsetting some of the installation cost. This value boost is most pronounced in neighborhoods with higher crime rates, where buyers feel more secure. 

Choosing custom or decorative bars enhances your home's curb appeal, while quick-release mechanisms maintain emergency access, making your home both more marketable and safer.

To make window bars look attractive, select custom decorative designs that complement your home’s architectural style. Wrought iron bars with scrollwork, floral motifs, or geometric patterns can become an elegant focal point rather than a security eyesore. 

Incorporate planter boxes beneath your windows, allow climbing ivy to soften the lines, or apply a coordinating paint finish to blend bars with exterior colors. You can also install quick-release decorative panels or matching shutters that conceal bars when not in use, achieving both beauty and security.
