Jalbert Contracting LLC — Local services in Alton

I've known Brian a long time. He started his thriving business with just a rake.There's many reasons why he has come so far and is so successful. That's because he's extremely intelligent, knows his products and is a very friendly guy. His ambition, passion and stride for perfection of his work are what drives his company. He does whatever it takes to make the customer happy because he truly aims to please. I met Brian a long time ago and became friends with him instantly because he has that friendly, give you the shirt off his back personality. I was in a bad place in my life and had hit rock bottom. Brian was there to pick me up. Brian and his wife Jamie gave me a place to stay. Brian made sure I had work and Jamie made sure we were fed. He taught me not only about the trades but customer interaction as well. He inspired me to start my own business. Most companies would not have been supportive thinking i would be taking food off their table but not Brian. I look up to him as a role model. Everytime I'm in a tough situation i think "what would Brian do" or i give him a call and he gives me advice. I learned so much from him and would not be who I am today without him. He's such a great person that instead of being upset that I was parting ways he offered me support. Brian is there to help me everytime I need it and he will be that way with you as well. If you need something done right you can depend on Brian. While working for Brian there has been many instances where he's done more than the scope of work to help customers out, actually it's like that with every job he does. There has been times where he donated materials and labor to build handicap ramps for veterans that couldn't afford them. If I get calls for jobs that are too large or complex for me I tell them to call Jalbert contracting. I trust Brian and his work so much that I had my mother call him for repairs when I wasn't available to do them myself. Some people envy Brian but he's worked hard and deserves everything he has, like i said he literally started his business with a rake. Once you meet Brian you will instantly feel you can trust him. Infact once you meet Brian you will never call anyone else and you will feel like he's part of...

After climbing up and discovering the roof on the back of the house was in rougher shape than I knew (I thought I had a roof leak resulting from an ice dam, turned out I had a leak in a pipe in the ceiling), I gave Brian a call to get an estimate. He was great from start to finish! Not only was the price he gave me very fair and very competitive, he took my situation into consideration and was able to get everything turned around and done in two weeks to the day from initial site visit to pulling out of the yard having finished the roof.

From his initial visit to evaluate the project right up until they were pulling out of the yard having completed the roof (in a day no less, which included shoveling and stripping off the original roof), he was in contact and provided regular updates on where things stood. Paperwork, single delivery, weather timeline, etc. He even sent photo updates throughout the day while they were working. I didn't ask him to, he took the time to do it of his own volition to keep me in the loop. There were no surprises at any point, and anything he said would happen, happened when he said it would. After the road postings put the kibosh on getting a dumpster in, he was even willing to eat the added cost of having to use a truck and trailer for disposal, all because he believes his quote is his word, and he holds to it. I knew it cost more, and I knew the price he gave me included him being able to work a deal on the dumpster, so I insisted on paying the difference. I believe in treating people fairly, and it's obvious Brian does as well.

Brian and his crew were all professional and courteous every step of the way, they even offered to carry the groceries in for my wife when she parked on the street to leave them space to work around the truck and trailer they were using. Two of the guys on the roof kept playing out "Shave and a haircut, two bits" while laying the new shingles. My wife and daughter thought it was very entertaining.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jalbert Contracting to anyone needing a project done. He'll certainly be my first call whenever I need...

We called Brian to replace our old roof two years ago and were amazed at how quickly he responded to us compared to other contractors. After a consultation where he went over all of our options, they were able to do the job in only one day within the week. Recently, my seller used him for her roof as well and Brian and his crew went above and beyond the roof replacement. The house needed quite a bit of work to make it look presentable and make the sale go more smoothly. In addition to the roof, they repaired rot on the trim, power washed, replaced the lead on the chimney, repaired broken windows, did some paint touch ups and did the badly needed landscaping. Jalbert Construction was able to take care of all the necessary repair work in just one day, which I know would have taken weeks or months if we had to call separate contractors to address these issues. The work done was top notch and seamless, and Brian kept me up to date on the work being done throughout the day. This made a huge difference in my client’s ability to sell the house at her asking price, with the usual negotiation process after inspection where all of these issue would have come up. I will be definitely be recommending Brian and his crew to all of my friends as well as real...
