Business ProfileforJ S D General Contracting

Jowell ***** D****** is the owner. He is a very smooth talker. I was looking to have a three season room added to my house. The amount of complaints I have against this company are laughable. Do I start with the 5 gallon bucket that his workers used as a restroom or do I start with the fact that he failed seven city inspections? Yes 7! I only signed off after the building Department of Westlake, including. Mr g***** who oversaw the development of Crocker Park, came to my residence personally. He did not follow any building codes. The structure was on sound, and the roof leaked. He also did not follow the blueprints from my certified architect. We ended up with an extra piece of wall in our great room.. I paid him $16,000. I refused to pay the last 5000 as the work was never completed. Fast forward a few years I got divorced and it turns out he put a lien on my house in my ex-wife’s name. Of course he added about $1000 for late charges. To this day, the work was never completed. His craftsmanship was so bad. We paid another company to re-roof what he had done. I have pictures and videos to show that he left gaping holes in our roof. I also have all documentation to back up these claims. The amount of stress he put on my marriage with a new baby, was incredible. My ex-wife handled most of the communication with him, and I’m sorry she had to go through that. I should have been tipped off early when he would not even put the concrete pad in his own company’s name. He subcontracted a gentleman named ****** ******* whose name was on the official work apparently in Ohio it’s very easy to place a lien on someone’s property. All you need is $250 for a business license. I would have filed something earlier, but I did not want it to affect my divorce. He is a scammer, and as far as I’m concerned, he owes me $22,000. I ended up, reframing all of his work and paid another company to re-roof. There is way more, but I don’t have enough room to write it.
