Jakes construction was one for three estimates. (Pool demo) From the detailed contract to the finished product we are extremely satisfied! The crew was amazing, considering the tight quarters they had to manage , hats off to the bobcat operators! Dom DeLuca

Jake and his team did a great job for us! Our project was a challenge as it was a large swimming pool that was converted to a koi pond and there was even more concrete than any of us expected. Jakes team took it in stride, completed the job on time and cleaned up well. All of the guys who worked on the project were so nice and courteous. His bid was reasonable and he didn't come back to us with crazy change orders. One of the best things about jake was his responsiveness. Whenever I had a question, he answered his phone or called back quickly which is so important to me. I would definitely recommend Jakes Construction.

Jake and his crew are top notch! From our first meeting with Jake we knew we were going to have him do our pool demo. Jake was very knowledgeable with lots of experience with pool demos specifically. The whole job ran so smoothly. The guys showed up every day on time and worked hard. We were so impressed with the coordination of every aspect of the job. In addition to the pool demo, we had Jake’s team lay pavers. They did an excellent job. We are so happy with the final results. We highly recommend Jakes Construction.

Jake’s Construction did a fantastic job of decommissioning our pool! From draining it to filling it in to artificial turf, we couldn’t be happier. His crew completed the job in 5 business days. Would highly recommend Jake’s Construction!

Jake and his team did a great job with our pool partial demo, landscaping, and concrete pouring. We are very satisfied with the final result. Throughout this process, he has been very attentive and if there were any issues or questions, he would answer right away. He is very responsive via in person, phone, and email. (a rare quality among contractors). His pricing is very reasonable as well. Would recommend again for pool renovation and landscaping.

We had a pool removed from our backyard and a significant amount of concrete removed as well. Jake was fair in his pricing and delivered exactly we told me he’d do. He listened and always kept me in the loop. This was step 1 of our backyard transformation and can’t wait to use him for step 2. Updated. We are thrilled with the finished product of a new patio and turfed backyard. Jake walked us through every step of the way. His crew was punctual and did great work. He was flexible with our budget and listened to my wife as she agonized over many of the decisions. A few of the decisions were the color of the patio, how big of an area for a seating area, how large of a patio, and so on. Jake wasn’t pushy and very receptive and communicative on the process. We can’t believe we went from a backyard that was unsightly and not very usable to a backyard we will enjoy for the rest of the time we own our home. Thank you so much.
