"I hired JLF Construction to finish some spackle and paint our nursery. I wish I never did. I had Jose come out to give a quote. He looked everything over and immediately shot of a price way too high for what the scope of work was. I was providing all materials and tools just needed labor. I told him we would think it over and get back to him. From that day on he continued to harass me with phone calls and texts wanting me to hire him. Finally I explained we felt the price was too high and we'd be getting additional quotes. He then negotiated down to what I thought was a fair price and we hired him. He sold me on how he had over 40 years of experience. Showing pictures of work he recently completed that we liked. We set up a day for him to come out and do the work. I was working when he had the availability and my wife was home. She text me saying there were 3 people here total and she didn't think it was going too well. She said she thinks I need to look everything over but he was demanding payment and wouldn't leave. I text Jose and explained I wouldn't agree to pay until I was home to see the work completed. To my amazement when I got home the room looked awful. He had let his 20 year old son who had no experience cut in the paint. Lines weren't straight, paint on my ceiling in some areas and other areas paint didn't even go all the way up the wall and it wasn't a double coat cut in. The white paint under showed through where they cut in. I immediately called Jose expressing my concerns and he started threatening me, insulting me and telling me I want something for nothing. He threatened to come to my house the next day. My wife who is pregnant was afraid so I agreed to just pay him. He then offered to send his son back out but he refused to come fix it himself since he wasn't the one who did the cutting in. I refused. I was so disappointed after seeing all of his great reviews. I wish I never came across his business. We had to pay a professional painter to come out and fix the issues. Luckily they didn't try to change and arm and a leg. If I could tell anyone to look elsewhere when considering these guys I would. Also, just a side note he had his sons wash out the paint in my yard causing my grass to die. I had them on camera the entire time doing it and asked multiple times to please stop since I pay for lawn treatments. This entire experience ended up costing me more than what we budgeted."

"Great service- reattached outdoor window shutters on second story"

"I can't say enough about working with South Side Lee & Alex. The estimate was fast and very reasonable. The main thing for me was trust, having so many contractors take advantage of me in the past I was cautious. I explained to Alex what I was looking for and he delivered my perfect deck. I gave my deposit and my new deck was complete in 2 days and wow what a job they did. On time, worked until completion, excellent work, they cleaned up and even washed the finished deck before leaving. I am so impressed with South Side Home Improvement I will definitely call them again for my next project without hesitation. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with the work done and the crew. Awesome Job "

"They provided multiple options to address our needs. They scheduled the job flexibly to meeting our needs and finished the job neatly and on time. Their efforts are very much appreciated. "

"The deck they built was a multi-level custom design. There are 3 stair designs and part goes from a five step up to ground level. They custom built the stringers for the steps, to code, and everything looks amazing. I would recommend them highly."

"Tolbert was fantastic! Chris went above and beyond for our project. The attention to detail was amazing. We will have them back to do other projects as they arise. Tolbert will be doing a project for another family member in the near future because of our recommendation."

"I was very impressed with their workmanship! I had them resurface my existing wood deck with Trex and couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for a trusted contractor who responds quickly, provides competitive pricing, and does the job fast without short-changing quality. The owner Robert, was very patient while I was trying to finalize my decisions and offered his thoughts and provided photos of his projects when he saw I was struggling to help me conclude a final decision. He actually did the job himself and you could tell with his years of experience, he was able to overcome any obstacle and the pride he takes in his work provided quality craftsmanship that is a gem to find in this current environment. I will definitely refer him to my family and friends!"

"Great! Did a very good job!"
