Jones R L Construction

Do not use this company. My reasons are posted below. These are not all the reasons, just a few areas of concern. This contractor is running an employment agency. Whatever it takes to keep his people working, he will have them do on your time and money. He had his painters paint the outside porches in 30 degree weather and the paint has already peeled on the steps. He improperly laid our gas line and the propane tank. The gas company refused to hook it up. We had to then pay the gas company to properly lay the line. Yet he wants me to pay for his people a second time for them hanging out while the gas people did the work. My wife and I kept a log from the beginning everyday on who worked, what they did, and hours worked. His painters said they worked on a Saturday. Our log book showed no one working on that day. We know they were not present because we told them NOT to come. We were cleaning the interior of dust as instructed by the flooring installer on that Saturday. The flooring installer was scheduled to put down the final coat on the floors that Monday. We had several appliances damaged during the renovation among a lot of other damages. This doesn’t even include all the electrical problems. The contractor hardly acknowledged this damage and did not offer to compensate or fix the items.
We were charged for the painters being here when they were not and charged for a second time on the propane issue on the final bill. We refused to pay for that. Now we are in a dispute.
We now have rain leaking in our windows and he refuses to honor his warranty. The window work is not the disputed billing issue. Yet, he said he would not honor his work, unless we paid him in full. He says he is right and we are wrong. I will not recommend this contractor.
