Excellent job!

I had a notched floor joist under my shower base drain area (done by the plumber who did the original plumbing) when renovating my bathroom and after a futile search to find a contractor to fix it, I went on HomeStars not expecting much. Jeff contacted me promptly and he came in a few days to do the repair. He was professional, detail oriented, patient and willing to help. The job came with an unexpected issue that required him to come back after plumbers fixed the issue. He checked in to ensure that it was going ok with the plumbers and came to finish the job today. He was supportive, informative and his workmanship is excellent! I would hire him in an instant for any projects that come up again.

Honest, Amazing Contractor

When we embarked on the endeavor to transform our basement, we invited several companies to provide us with quotes. In those initial consultations, we shared our vision, and the recurring response was, "yes, we can do whatever you want." However, when we presented our concept to Jeff, he not only outlined the potential outcome but also offered insightful suggestions that ultimately enriched our vision. Jeff displayed a commendable candor, never shying away from advising us when a particular approach might not yield the desired aesthetic.

Punctuality was one of Jeff's hallmarks, and he unfailingly communicated whenever he faced scheduling constraints. Each day concluded with the basement immaculately tidied. Jeff's craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to precision were nothing short of exceptional. Notably, he meticulously addressed imperfections in the drywall, going above and beyond by sanding it multiple times to ensure a flawless finish, even in areas that most would overlook.

The final result of the basement project exceeded our expectations. When our neighbors witnessed the finished product, they were similarly captivated and promptly enlisted Jeff's services. I wholeheartedly endorse Jeff without reservation and eagerly anticipate the prospect of collaborating with him on future projects.

Deck and Pergola

We have used Jb Laforest Design-Build many times on three different homes. Jeff has delivered exceptional service each and every time.
Jeff built an amazing deck and pergola in our backyard. He removed the old deck, designed the new one, and then built it by himself. He had to dig 8 deep holes for the support beams into thick clay and then build the deck and pergola. It turned out exactly how we wanted it, and we have received so many compliments on the design and quality of the structure.
He is skilled craftsman who takes his time to think through each design, walk you through his approach and make recommendations for items we would not even think of.

The cost represents total cost (design, labor, materials, rentals)

Bathroom Project

Very pleased with the result and Jeff. I was considering doing this project myself, until I meet with Jeff, and he laid out a crystal clear plan. He helped me make excellent product selections based on my budget.

I will use JBL again.
