I had already done the framing and drywall, and didn’t feel too confident in my taping and mudding abilities. Steve came in and took my amateur drywalling job and turned it into a professionally done basement. Thanks for your help, Steve! **★★★★★ — fazlinbandali, June 2017** > I've used Fred & Steve twice for a vanity re-installment and a water drainage system. They were both very professional, trust-worthy and reliable throughout both projects. The quote they provided us was exactly what we paid and no surprises. We'd love to use them again for our major renovation/gut next year. **★★★★★ — Leah Mychayluk, June 2016** > Steve was lovely to work with and have in my home - courteous, tidy, and competent. > He offered advice on the best way forward which was much appreciated. > Thanks Steve! **★★★★★ — cdiesbourg, June 2016** > Fred and Steve are great at what they do! > Professional, respectful of my time, space and money. I couldn't have asked for better people to work with on my project. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of trustworthy, hard working guys who know what they're doing!!! **★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2015** > Thank you Fred and Steve for a great job! You got to the job when you said you would. The work was done just as quoted. My property was left neat and tidy. In the past I have had problems with other contractors. You have restored my faith. It was such a pleasure to work with you on the removal of my aged chimney and the re-roof. Peace of mind at last. Thanks again. Janet **★★★★★ — Dawn Custode, July 2015** > Fred & his son Steve were great to work with! We did a main floor reno, gutting the kitchen & dining room, and fixing the LR ceiling, walls and new wood flooring. From ordering the bin, the gas fitter, providing plans for the permit, recommendations on flooring and cabinets, and helping work through our vision, Fred was there every step of the way, offering solutions to every issue that came up during the project - from replacing a rotting beam in the basement, putting in a steel beam header for our open concept Kit/Dr, re-routing the heating ducts for the main & 2nd floor, new headers over the patio door & window, insulating, dry walling, painting, laying the floors, patching our old LR walls, trim, etc. Every night when I got home from work, my home was clean and dust free, with construction materials stored out of the way. Fred even took a look at our attic when we asked & recommended an insulation company that uses vermin retardant insulation when he mentioned we had lots of mice in the attic. Fred & Steve also replaced our broken bathroom fan vent in the attic, and installed a newer quieter fan. Even helping with where to put the electrical, even though we did that part ourselves. > > I couldn't be happier with my new main floor, especially my kitchen, and am really happy with all of Fred's recommendations for products and expertise. While no reno goes as planned, especially an older home, Fred always had great and cost effective solutions. Highly recommend for any of your home reno needs! **Comment from JFS Construction:** > Thanks so much Dawn! > We hope you and Jim enjoy your space for years to come! **★★★★★ — Roberta Bielak, Jan. 2015** > We had the custom garage storage system installed. We are very happy with the work. Fred and Steve are a pleasure to work with, professional, polite, and extremely good at what they do. It's a pleasure to have contractors who can understand what is needed and transform our vision into the possible. Their work is solid and beautiful. Thanks Guys! **★★★★★ — steverube, Dec. 2014** > JFS construction did a window and door project on our house. We were very pleased with their quality workmanship and ability to communicate throughout the process. Their professionalism not only improved the appearance of our home, it also increased our energy efficiency ratings. We would absolutely use JFS Construction on any future renovations. **★★★★★ — jeffreycuddy, July 2014** > The JFS team completed a repair of our chimney to prevent further water leakage. The initial meeting was great and the team explained exactly what was needed to repair the situation (and why) clearly so we understood what was required and what services were being completed. The team was very professional, and completed the job to spec, on time and according to the budget laid out. Overall I would recommend them to everyone. **★★★★★ — k4r15, June 2014** > JFS Construction has done several jobs for us, starting with the building of two sheds. We hired them based on a referral from friends, and we were so impressed with their skill, attention to detail and the respectful way they cleaned up at the end of each shift that we subsequently hired them for a massive second floor renovation - and we continue to use JFS Construction for all our renovation needs. ## Selected projects - [Bathroom Renovation Kitchener](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-renovation-kitchener-pj-vj~1564567) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Penrose Ave. Kitchener](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/penrose-ave-kitchener-pj-vj~1141155) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Dane St. Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dane-st-kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~1117268) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Sophia Crescent - Walk In Closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sophia-crescent-walk-in-closet-pj-vj~893919) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Somerset Crescent Waterloo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/somerset-crescent-waterloo-pj-vj~855807) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Lourdes St. Waterloo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lourdes-st-waterloo-pj-vj~819264) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Basement Reno Waterloo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-reno-waterloo-pj-vj~729287) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [John St. Waterloo Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/john-st-waterloo-renovation-pj-vj~681060) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Full House Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-house-reno-pj-vj~439006) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/jfs-construction-pfvwus-pf~881496857) ## Community Q&A **Q: Are theshower walls finished with tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am wondering if you finished the inside shower walls with tile or a solid material? Was this a shower kit or custom pieces ie: shower base, door, walls etc.? Thanks very much! A: Greetings @toothygrin The inside of this shower was finished with ceramic tile. The base and doors are standard pieces that were purchased at Home Depot, hope that helps. www.jfsconstruction.ca **Q: Before and After exterior** *(in Before & After)* Sad 1960's rancher gets new life with timber accents and craftsman details Tamlin Homes A: Great job!
