      JonesCo have been an absolute nightmare. **** ***** THREATENED LEGAL ACTION if I complained to the BBB or made a review that wasn't 100% accurate. This was in response to my email expressing frustration that after 200+ DAYS OF CONSTRUCTION (now 361+) with many defects not fixed. Video/photos to back all claims. Roof installed in Jan. The SHINGLES IMPROPERLY INSTALLED according to roofing associations & manufacturer. Sealant wasn't used. 26 Jan shingles blew off & lots bent up. Many nails seen were exposed, driven in on an angle etc. - all future points of failure. 03 April JonesCo repaired roof. 07 Apr more shingles came off. 17 May roofing company replaced SOME missing/improperly installed shingles. NO MANUFACTURER WARRANTY on this roof. Contract says floor to be polished. Major defects in the floor including large areas where the SURFACE IS BREAKING UP/VERY ROUGH. More areas break up weekly. JonesCo's response “Your garage concrete floor is not an interior finished floor” At least 40% of the floor is damaged/rough & not “Some small top layer rough spots are not a deficiency” as JonesCo claims. OVER BILLED for 13 1/2 hrs of excavation instead of estimated 4 in the contract. Includes 2 hrs when operator was not onsite. OVER BILLED for fill removal/disposal. OVER BILLED for electrical work. No change order/discussion as an extra charge. No credit for work/material that was to be done. Concrete crew DELIBERATELY DUMPED large amounts of concrete in a flower bed, lawn & driveway. This is intentional dumping of INDUSTRIAL WASTE & not “disturbed ground”. JonesCo later sent someone to clean up SOME concrete from flower bed but little else done. Electrical trench was improperly filled in leading to the GROUND GIVING WAY on walkway. Building is NOT WATER TIGHT. Large area is wet / damp after rainfall. Weather strip around access door damaged. JonesCo sent someone to fix but wrong part. JonesCo's website makes promises/statements that were not fulfilled.

      Don't be fooled by the BBB rating! Multiple court claims are currently active against Jonesco, you can search for yourself. Full review see google. They made multiple mistakes and did not build our cottage to the plans and specifications provided. All of which cost us time and money to correct and fix, mean while **** would blame everyone else but himself. After 8 months past our expected completion date I sent **** an email, stating my frustration, and demanded he provides us with a plan on how they were going to complete the cottage by the end of March. This is when Jonesco decided to terminate as we were "micromanaging the project and had unreasonable demands" Upon inspecting the day after terminating, they had left the cottage in an absolute disaster with garbage and rubbish left everywhere. Jonesco had removed material we had paid for and supplied for them to install. Our experience with Jonesco in our opinion was nothing more than a nightmare from dealing with the disorganization of the company, not building our cottage as per our plans and specifications, dishonesty, mismanagement of project costs and our money, and absolutely poor quality of workmanship. There was a lack of communication and respect from **** and Mark during the whole progress of the project. Jonesco did not communicate any discrepancies with us and decided to make decisions that were not in our best interest without consultation. This not only cost us extra money, we had to sacrifice the design and functionality of our cottage. We finally finished our cottage in the late summer of 2022 and lucked out with excellent contractors to fix all these deficiencies and complete the project. Unfortunately, the state and progress that we were left by Jonesco, cost us a substantial amount of money which Jonesco is refusing to pay and now have to take him to court.
