Reviews of Johansen General Contracting (Contractor)

Becky Snyder

Finding a reliable contractor who will actually return your call, and show up and perform quality work is far and few between. I'm happy to report Johansen General Contracting is one of these rare specimens. John and team have completed work for me on several occasions the past few years, and I am continually pleased with their performance. John is a straight-shooter who will make sure things get done right the first time. If you are looking for a contractor who can provide an excellent work product, I highly suggest you give them a call.

I had a major flooding issue that filled my basement, three days before Christmas. It turned out the piping in my basement of the house I had purchased only 1 year ago had virtually disintegrated under the tile. My wife was 9 months pregnant and was ready to pop (which eventually happened only 12 days after Christmas). Plus, we were hosting my family Christmas Day as my wife was not doing well with travel at the time. Essentially, I was close to having to having a massive coronary. It turned out I needed to have an excavation and get the entire pipe work replaced, on December TWENTY FREAKING SECOND and needed to have it done in advance of my family coming over on Christmas. Even if we had moved Christmas elsewhere, this was not the condition of the house that I wanted my newborn baby to come home to. I needed help but being a new homeowner, I didn't have a Rolodex of service people... I had worked with John Johansen on a dishwasher installation about 6 months ago and found him to be a pretty good guy to work with. I doubted he was going to be able to complete the work but my hope is he would start it and maybe, we could get it done after the holiday. His response: "Let's see what we can do." Well, on Dec. 22nd, John came through, excavated the entire area that was affected, worked with a local plumber (who is equally due for sainthood) to lay down a completely new pipe infrastructure. Then he returned on Dec. 23rd to lay down concrete over the entire area where him and the plumbers had replaced the piping. Finally on Christmas Eve, he returned to lay down all new tile and cleaned the entire area. Christmas morning it was as if the basement had never flooded at all as all of the affected areas in our basement and garage looked pristine. Due to his work, we actually were able to still host Christmas at our house. Amazing. I seriously cannot thank this man enough for all that he did for us at a critical time, where he could have easily blew me off or drove costs up tremendously due to the holiday. He saved my family's Christmas and helped bring the house to a level of presentation my eventual daughter (who was born on January 6th) deserved. On top of it all, his price was extremely reasonable for the amount of labor him and his team put in. I recommend him with the absolute highest praise and urge you to give him a call. I can't think of an example of better customer service in my life. He is the best.

I was having a problem with an air conditioner on the second floor of my house. It was dripping inside all over the wall. I looked around for some local handymen who could assess the best way to deal with the problem. John Johansen was the guy I chose and I am glad I did. I contacted him through his website. He called me back less than an hour later. He took time to listen and started thinking of solutions right away. John was able to accommodate my schedule and show up the next day. He arrived exactly when he said he would. John fixed the problem at a reasonable price and was able to make some helpful recommendations about other issues in the house. Based on this experience I would highly recommend his services.

We've been using Johansen General Contracting for the past 6 years on over 15 properties. They do wonderful work and are always our first call. Building decks, painting, structural repairs, kitchen and bathroom remodels...as John says " [They] do everyting" ☺

Last year a pipe froze in our house and destroyed our basement. By the time everything was said and done with the insurance company they settled with us at about $8,000.00. We are talking about an entire finished basement with a kitchenette, full bathroom and a full bar. They then told us to find a contractor to rebuild all of this within their budget. We met with 8 contractors in a little under a year. Seven out of the eight contractors told us they couldn't do the job unless we contributed another $30,000.00. They also said to try and negotiate with the insurance company to get more money. I asked them if they would help me and they all pretty much laughed and said good luck!!! They eighth and final contractor was John Johansen from Johansen General Contracting. When I told John how much the insurance company had offered me, he then told me with a very disturbed look on his face that the insurance company was cheating me and that he would fight the insurance company to get the additional funds that were necessary to complete this job! By the time John was done with the insurance company they had agreed to an additional $36,000 to rebuild my basement. I know have a beautiful, completely up to code amazing basement!!!! John Johansen is sensitive, caring, understanding and completely reassuring when it came to our project. He returns all phone calls, shows up on time, keeps the job site completely immaculate and best of all finishes on or before schedule with perfect results I would recommend him with the highest of regard. Thank you John and your amazing crew of workers and other licensed sub contractors!!!

Finding the combination of a very nice person and a great honest contractor is rare these days. We found that person in John Johansen. He and his crew did an excellent job installing ceramic tile in our bathroom. They were courteous, always on time, meticulous in their work and completed the project on the day it was promised. The tile looks great! We would highly recommend their services.

Johansen General Contracting did a incredible job restoring our customers water damaged basement. From the demolition, to the new electric & drywall, carpentry, trim, flooring and paint. One call did it all. This place looks like a resort. On time and under budget. I will be using Johansen General Contracting at my own home and highly recommend them.

John did a wonderful , professional and timely job of completing the roof repair of my home. He not only completed the project on time but his crew cleaned up after the work was completed and left everything as it was before they started the repairs . Would highly recommend John and his crew .

Johansen save me the trouble of buying a lemon house. House looked very appealing on the surface but, had many structural problems. He got under the crawlspace of the house and found termite damage, water damage and many more. These damages would have cost around 40k. Seller only offered 25% of that. you want johansen on your side.

Orestes Rios

I had a leak in the basement near the boiler. It was getting worse by the day. Called John Johansen and explained the issue. He came by to take a look at it. He arrived on time, assessed the situation and fixed it quickly. Excellent work. He also made suggestions on other things I could do in the basement and around the house. Highly recommend Johansen General Contracting to anyone looking for great work at a fair price.

Greg Herman

I had a few odds and ends jobs like gutter cleaning, tacking up siding that had blown off, mending cracks in chimney, etc.. John made quick work of these and in the process noted and took pictures of future potential issues to address. What sets John apart is his honesty, attention to detail, and knowledge that he shares to inform the customer, because he cares that the job is done right. Highly recommend him for your General Contracting needs.

John repaired a leak coming from above my window (around 20-30ft up). But it was his communication and work ethic that drove me to write a review. I have been away from my condo for the last year and a half due to a military deployment and training. John was extremely helpful and worked directly my girlfriend (who lives with me) to get the repair done in a timely manner. All while keeping me in the loop. I will be calling John for all of my future repairs and recommend anybody in the area to do the same.

Daniel Sollitti

Needed a contractor who would be willing to handle a small job and Johansen was right on it. They came promptly and fixed and rehung a door better than it was before it broke. I was preparing to have to tear out and replace the whole frame. John Johansen reinforced and fixed it like it never happened. I've used them multiple times in the past and feel confident that the job will always get done right!

Eddie

We got water in our basement and John came by right away, guided us on how to get the water out and made arrangement to be here as soon as he could fit us in, to install French drains and make sure our kids playroom never flooded again. John and his crew were punctual and worked with us and our schedules and in no time our kids had their playroom back, nicer than ever.

Mark Schechter

I've worked with A LOT of contractors & my experience is usually pretty poor. Johansen is BY FAR the best I've worked with in the area! I needed a contractor to fix a leak that another contractor couldn't figure out. They did the whole job in less than one day! They're licenced & insured, provide clear & detailed quotes & invoices - fair prices too! They also communicate very clearly & concisely. I'm looking forward to sticking with Johansen for all my future needs.

Mr. Johansen was gracious enough to meet my wife and I on a very short notice to review a bathroom issue that could have potentially prevented us from closing on our first home. Super intelligent, detailed, and a very meticulous professional. Highly recommended!!!!!

If you are looking for a roof repair company, look no further, they were on time, very courteous, knowledgable, and professional. They fixed the leak & guaranteed their workmanship. Would recommend in the future.

I called Johansen General Contracting and made an appointment for an estimate. The owner John responded that day and provided me with an estimate by that night. The price was very reasonable so I accepted it. My job was scheduled within a reasonable amount of time and that appointment was kept. Many contractors don’t show or have many other excuses. Johansen G.C. was the total opposite. Everything was planned and carried out as promised with no issues. The workers arrived and worked hard from start to finish for my 3 day project. The area was left cleaner then when they found it. I am highly satisfied with the final work product and the overall project. Highly recommend!!! A+
