JJM Services LLC

JJM Services did an excellent job in remodeling my kitchen. Great care was taken in making sure that I was completely satisfied with every detail of the remodel. The team that did the work were friendly, efficient, and experts in the installation process. Jim, the owner and designer, is professional and very helpful in making sure my kitchen was designed not only with really cool features but efficiently. He works with you and values your input in the design process.

We had a great experience with our renovation. JJM services was extremely professional and our kitchen/first floor renovation was completed sooner than the estimated time. I would highly recommend JJM Services

I was very pleased with both the initial visit to plan the project and then to the carrying out of the project itself. Jim demonstrated much more attention to detail than others who gave me estimates both during the planning the repair of a medicine cabinet and the construction of a new counter top for a new bathroom sink and during the actual work. His price was appropriate, neither the highest nor the lowest of the estimates I received from others. The contractors whom he brought in to do the carpentry and to supply the quartz counter top appeared to be very capable and courteous as well as careful in their work. Jim enabled me to avoid a trip to the quartz supplier when he brought samples to coordinate with the new pink basin, one of which I likes and selected. It was a pleasure to work with Jim. I only wish that I or he had thought of covering all of the existing wall tiles that surround the sink with the quartz instead of leaving some of the pink tiles in place there. I certainly would consider hiring JJM Services again if I had another home update project.

JJM Services provided superior service to our project from finish to end! They where very detailed, and always responsive when needed. The design ideas and execution where current and profesional. I would not hesitate to use them again, and certainly would recommend them to anyone looking for a good remodeler.

Jim, the supervisory contractor and kitchen designer, did a superb job. Extensive woodworking was indicated with removal of wasteful empty bulkheads and careful designing of custom-made high-quality maple cabinets were custom fit to unusual shapes in our 80+ euros house. Jim was especially patient with the selection of granite slabs, which involved visits to two separate granite service providers involving almost an entire day. The carpenter, John, is extraordinary and he managed to custom fit the tops of the cabinets to our irregular plaster ceiling. He also successfully widened the doorway between the kitchen and dining room which was complicated because of old oak paneling covering the entire dining room wall. There were a few small glitches, but all members of the team were responsive and fixed the minor problems.

We hired Jim to reconstruct the original tiny, cramped and poorly-aging kitchen in our 1950s ranch house. Unlike the other estimates, Jim gave us a complete redesign which opened the kitchen up and made the entire area look and function better. To say we are pleased is to vastly understate the case; it's an outstanding design and the work was done in every way to our complete satisfaction. I recommend Jim without any reservation.

Working with Jim of JJM services LLC to create my new kitchen was a pleasure from the beginning. Jim met me at home in my old kitchen, looked into every cupboard and space to see what I had and needed and then came up with akitchen design. It fit me and my needs exactly. He presented computer pictures of my future kitchen so we could visualize and discuss possible changes or additions. Once these plans were finalized Jim presented a schedule with starting and completion dates and dates for plumbing, electrical, Tile installation, cupboard installation etc. so I knew what to expect. His crew was very professional, responsible, capable and polite. They always cleaned any mess and disposed of garbage and scrap building materials daily. I also asked Jim to do some work in my master bath and family room wet bar area. I am thrilled with the results and would recommend this company without hesitation. The job was finished three days after the projected completion date but Jim was very good at tweaking things that I asked him to address.

Are you looking to hire someone for a quick, cheap job? Read no further. However, if you are looking for incredible craftsmanship, attention to detail, outstanding customer service and imaginative solutions for challenging remodeling projects, you should definitely contact JJM Services. If you hire Jim Mittelkamp (aka JJM), you will get all of the above and more. Your project will be carefully designed and executed impeccably. In addition, your project will proceed with a dose of humor and a side helping of philosophy. What more could anyone ask for? My project began with a kitchen remodel in a >100 year old house. This small kitchen was an add-on to the rear of the house at some point (the kitchen was originally in the basement). Did I mention the kitchen is really small? My vague idea when Jim first came to look at the job included new cabinets and countertops, a pass-through into the dining room to open up the space a bit, and a skylight to lighten it up. From that vague idea, I ended up with a completely new first floor. Jim really listens to his clients to figure out what they actually want. He spent a huge amount of time on the design and its modifications. He tried different kitchen layouts to ensure the best one. He brought the head of the construction team, Ron Hamel, to inspect everything before finalizing the plans. The pass-through is elegantly designed with glass door cabinets facing both rooms, and the trim around the cabinets matches the original trim in the house. The kitchen was completely gutted, including shoring up the slanted floor so hardwood could be properly installed. New insulation in the crawl space under the kitchen was added. The kitchen work included cherry cabinets, granite countertops, new plumbing and lighting, a toe kick heater, new appliances and tile backsplash. A new ceiling, crown molding and chair rail were added to the dining room, everything repainted and the chandelier moved. The molding around all the new doorways and kitchen windows was specially milled to match the original moldings in the house. Jim designed a custom cabinet beneath the pass-through in the dining room as well as one in the breakfast room. But the real genius was Jim’s idea to raise and enlarge the openings into the kitchen, dining room and breakfast room. A short wall was removed and a new back door installed. The goal was to maintain the character of the old house while making these dramatic improvements. The result is amazing- the small first floor rooms are opened up to each other and the view from one room to the next is inspiring. Once the project was underway and furniture moved around, Jim suggested having the oak parquet floors in the rest of the first floor refinished and he handled that as well. All of this was done for not much more than I thought I would spend on the kitchen alone! Ron Hamel and his crew did outstanding work: they were careful, courteous and handled all the typical surprises found in old houses with great professionalism. The only minor issue is that this team is very busy, and once the job is nearing completion it can drag on a bit as they begin other jobs. In addition to the high quality design and workmanship, JJM Services provides very individualized customer service. Jim finds each job and client an engaging challenge and by the time you hire him he will be like a member of your family. It is definitely an enjoyable way to remodel; I highly recommend JJM Services!

I have known Jim for many years and have hired him more than a dozen times to design, assist in the construction and on occasions implement turnkey kitchen and bath projects for or with me. He has more experience than anyone I have ever met, he is open to other ideas and compromise, he is a pleasure to deal with. Above all, his attention to detail, his technical knowledge and his commitment to excellence sets him apart. I cannot recommend him highly enough, my only hesitation being that if he gets too busy with other clients, he may no longer have time to fit my projects in. If you would ever like to call me directly, please do not hesitate. I will answer any questions and have many Jim stories to tell.

Contractor is willing to work with you to meet clients requests. Professional workmanship and cleans up well after self daily.

My wife and I met with many companies to find a a kitchen remodeling firm that had a good reputation for design and execution. We found it in JJM Services LLC. Jim and his team worked with us to iron out all of the details of the plan to remodel our kitchen. His team was customer service oriented, on time, and did great overall work. I was warned by many friends to be careful not to get caught in the never-ending kitchen remodel. Jim proved that there are still quality contractors that care about the customer and the finished product. We never felt like we just a task on a list to complete. The team was easy to communicate with and understood that communication is the key to any successful project. I would strongly recommend JJM Services LLC for future jobs!
