 Please beware, We have a crook of a contractor in our area, servicing the Milwaukee and surrounding counties. Please be sure to run background on anyone doing business as Jonathan Klingbeil, JK Home Improvements, or J&B Quality Home Services. These are the names Jon has burnt up to date. He has about 7 pending judgments as of now totaling close to 70.000$. Jon Klingbeil is most known for his hack work or unacceptable work on residential homes. He is also known for accepting deposits for work with no intention to complete. He is good for making excuses or using his military status to take advantage of unsuspecting customers. I for instance, was taken by Mr. Klingbeil. He was contracted to remodel my kitchen, bathroom and replace tile floors throughout. During this process, Klingbeil had given me a bid to replace a roof at a different property. I accepted his bid and we signed a contract for work to be completed. A deposit was given. After cashing the check, (over 6k) not depositing it, Jon made every excuse as to why he couldn't begin work. That being said, my home still required finishing/fixing with every excuse prohibiting him from doing so. Finally I put a halt to the roof requesting the deposit back. - no such luck. He will not answer calls. I'm guessing finishing my home is out of the question. I am in process of taking legal action at this point. The grout in my floors is cracking and coming out. Drywall work is ridiculous. Open / missing drain vent on bathroom, I could go on for days. All in all, meeting this guy has costed me so much. I ran a thourough background check on him and reached out to other victims of his. We agreed to work together with hopes that Jonathan Klingbeil will pay for his actions through the justice system. Please protect yourself against people like him. We know that there are a lot of Jonathan Klingbeils out there.

Typical response from a crook

AUTHOR: Matt - (United States)

POSTED: Saturday, December 16, 2017

 I challenge you to provide proof of full payment along with proof of contract showing you have paid in full. Pictures are worth nothing. Your work is worthless. Ccap this guy and see that I am not the only victim. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY. We can provide photos showing his hacks and his shortcomings. There is nothing to gain from slandering a guy/company for doing honest work. We are still working on collecting down payment from Jon as he began making sporadic payments then decided to stop almost 3k short.

This complaint is well overboard.

AUTHOR: Jon - (United States)

 In response to this review. I am by far a crook or a hack. As far as the business name change that was due to a partner change in business. We where hired to demo and reinstall tile that he said has been done by 3 different contractors but had to fire them and did not pay them due to what he called poor workmanship. We completed the work to a high quality. The tile looked great and I will add the entire bathroom was little subway tiles that if I can add pictures looks amazing. I would have to say flawless. The hack work that he may be referring to is the drywall work that I did not charge him for. Originally we where to replace a one sheet of drywall in the bathroom but to make things even better I went out of the way and replaced all drywall in the bathroom for no additional charge. The agreement was we where to tape and mud the drywall and he was to finish it with texture and paint. We where to also replace the tile floors in second bath/kitchen/hallway/dining room. Which 3 other contractors already did but he didn’t like so wanted it redone again. After removal of existing tile he was advised of many areas of the sub floor being unlevel and damaged. He didn’t want to pursue fixing the issue. The tile floors turned out amazing the only problem that came about was the grout started to crumble in some areas. In my time of tiling which I have tiled hundreds of floors I have never had the issue. I did notice while grouting the floors that the grout that he purchased from hobo tended to dry fast and be hard to work with. In my professional experience I would say it was defective grout from the store. I was out a couple time to fix the bad areas and told him if that don’t work we can remove the grout and reinstall using a different brand. During this time we signed a roof replacement and if I can add pics I will the weather was unfortunate we had snow ice below zero temps and with the size of the roof I felt it was unsafe for anyone to be on a 2 1/2 story church. The time frame was about 4 weeks. He called me one day said he wanted his money back and he wanted it back that instant or he is coming to find me. He made many threats and stalked me and my employees. He has made many threats to me and my family like better watch your back and so on. Customer has received payments back.
