I hired Jim's company to replace all of the front windows on my 1886 row house in DC (see before/after photos -- before is white trim and after is black trim). This was a somewhat complicated project because the previous windows were the wrong size for the openings in the brick, which meant that in addition to replacing the windows all of the openings had to be resized (requiring demolishing and reconstructing the drywall and trim on the interior).

Jim carefully planned the project, first doing some exploratory work before providing a complete estimate for the work. He secured the needed permits, which was pretty quick since he has a good relationship with the historic preservation office in DC.

Jim's crews did an excellent job with every component of the project, from the window installation to the trim work on the interior to the drywall and painting work. They also created historically appropriate lunettes to install above the windows.

The project involved a good amount of interior work, and the workers were always respectful of our home (covering everything and putting down material to protect the wood floors) and cleaned up at the end of each day. It made living through a construction project tolerable.

Jim was responsive throughout the planning and execution of the project. I highly recommend working with him and he will definitely be my first call for future projects.

I want to thank Jim Meyer for the excellent job he performed in very difficult circumstances. He added on a historically correct front porch on our 100 year old Capitol Hill row home. He navigated through permitting and a very difficult mandatory security deposit situation that the Department of Transportation handed us.

The end result was a beautiful porch that not only added value to our property but, made our very finnicky neighbors happy as well. If you want a job done well, on time and with a respect to a set budget JF Meyer is an excellent choice.

We had a great experience working with Jim and his crew. We had just purchased our home and needed the entire main floor and upstairs to be painted prior to moving in. Jim was able to accommodate us within short notice and his crew worked diligently and effectively over the course of 3 days to complete the job. It was especially critical that the work be completed timely as we had scheduled for the floors to be refinished after the painting. They were clean and meticulous with the work, making sure that all repairs to walls were done prior to painting. Everything we requested was executed exactly as we wanted and the communication was great and timely. We highly recommend J.F. Meyer for your home projects.

Jim has done several projects at my house in Washington, D.C. Jim always provided accurate estimates, performed the work exactly as promised, and met his deadlines. I was completely satisfied with Jim's work every single time. And I recommend him without qualification to my friends and colleagues!

I recently hired J.F. Meyer Construction to remodel a rental property, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

First and foremost, I was impressed by the owner's commitment to ensuring that every aspect of the remodel satisfied both local codes and inspections. They were incredibly conscientious, which gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process.

The team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. They were efficient, detail-oriented, and maintained clear communication every step of the way. I appreciated their transparency and willingness to address any questions or concerns that arose during the project.

Not only did Jim (the owner) meet all necessary code requirements, but they also exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and craftsmanship. The finished result was impeccable, and the rental property now looks better than ever.

Overall, I highly recommend J.F Meyer Construction for any remodeling or construction project. Their dedication to meeting codes and inspections, both lead paint and general, sets them apart from other contractors.
Thank you Jim and to the entire team for a job well done!

Sincerely,
Mary Quintanilla

I cannot say enough about Jim and his true understanding of and devotion to the "ART" of building. He is engaged, thorough and eager to share his wealth of knowledge about construction, and especially with regard to historic buildings. His crews are considerate of neighbors on tight urban sites, they clean up after the work day and, most importantly, they do work of a truly craftsman-like quality.

I have used Jim Meyer’s services for over 20 years. He has repaired and painted the exterior and extensive woodwork on my 100 year old stucco house. His company has rebuilt my front steps and installed oversized half round gutters with rain chains. The most recent project was a full first floor paint job including the expert patching of the ceilings and walls where my electrician took out the old knob and tube wiring. I had gaping holes in the original plaster that were repaired in a way that blended seamlessly. I trust that Jim and his team will always do an excellent job.

Jim Meyer offers straight-forward and honest quality workmanship that is above the “builder grade” services provided by most. They are not afraid to pursue creative work and approach it with a higher standard of care. They are always pleasant to work with as a company, and their subcontractors parallel the same work ethic.
