J&E Modern Construction LLC

Shay and his team were absolutely amazing. They added a bathroom and closet to the second floor our 1930s craftsman. This project required changing the roof line and significant structural reinforcement on the first floor. The end result is a palatial master suite that my wife and I love. Not only is the work quality outstanding, but Shay is easy to work with and incredibly responsive. He was easy to get a hold of at anytime and resolved any concerns we brought to him quickly. He really cares about his customers. We won't look for other contractors every again. J&E is the best in town.

J&E Modern Construction renovated both our unfinished basement and outdoor breezeway of our almost 100-year-old rowhouse in NE DC. They did a FANTASTIC job! The job included demolition of existing non-weight-bearing walls, new framing, insulation, sheetrock, ceiling; new flooring, doors, windows, overhead lights/wiring; upgrading the stairway to 1st floor; building “mechanical room” for boiler; plus framing, screening, ceiling, tiling back breezeway; installing breezeway fans; plastering & painting; and other finish work. We did NOT need the full bathroom done; it was already done. We also purchased & J&E installed stackable washer/ventless dryer. The finished basement includes a guest bedroom with private back entrance and private access to bathroom, a small room to be used as a recordin

It is rare to find a contractor that is so responsive. From the moment I called to request a visit to assess the problem at my house through the finish of the project, either Shay (the Project Manager), Orlando (the Foreman), or Marian (the Office Manager) were communicating with me within hours of every call, text or email I sent. And every step of the project I was sent pictures of the progress, called with updates and sent paperwork immediately for additional costs. I had to have the majority of the flooring joists/sills in my 115+ yr old condo replaced or repaired due to rot and all new wood flooring put in. This required I move out of the house which initially was expected to be addressed and repaired in 3 weeks. However, the scope of the damage grew as we tore out more of the exist

Just take my (and every other reviewer) word, this is the company you want to hire. I interviewed and got estimates from 8 others. J&E exceeded them all with quality and communication (the 2 things that should matter the most to giant projects). Sarah listened to EVERYTHING, and even better.... the general contractor Shay then listened to every concern or question I had and explained it always in a way that I was happy with (never talked above my expertise or brushed me off). Areas of excellence: communication, planning (ways to save or do cheaper but not cut on quality of installation), tile work (installer was a true artist and craftsman), plumbing work (very nice guy that knew his craft, duct work (ran into slight problem not expecting and he was done before I came home to check), drywa

Shay and his team delivered amazing results. Our untouched 60’s condo needed major help and the team delivered excellent work. The new space is so beautiful and we are very happy!
