J&D Contracting - You're the Best!

By
Real Estate Agent with Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.

J&D Contracting has done it again... proved they're THE most valuable members of my real estate team.  They saved the day for me and my seller yesterday by going above and beyond reasonable expectations.

Tfamily roomhey arrived at my vacant listing in Annapolis MD to remove several items abandoned in the formerly tenant-occupied home scheduled for closing next week.  The job would require them to saw large items into pieces to remove them, since storage closets now block access to the stairs for large pieces of furniture.

To their surprise, the power had been turned off since the previous day, when they visited the property to scope out the job and give me a price.  But they didn't use "no power" as an excuse to go home and put off this job 'til another day; they knew I wanted it done prior to today's pre-settlement inspection.  They didn't even call me to complain or find out if I could get by with their waiting a day or two. 

What did they do that was so exceptional?

They sawed into pieces the couch, chair, love seat, and pool table you see in this photo, using hand tools - by the light of a flashlight - to get the pieces up the basement stairs and out for transit to the dump.  That's not all, of course.  They also hauled away a bunch of other stuff, too, before calling to tell me what they'd done.

Then they headed over to Bowie MD to make roof and attic repairs in another listing, also scheduled for a pre-settlement inspection today.

I highly recommend you contact J&D Contracting the next time you need a licensed home-improvement contractor in the greater Crofton area.  Jimmy Furr (the "J" of J&D) can be reached at 301-440-8581.  He and his crew were over-qualified for these jobs, but I'm so glad they were willing to take care of me and my clients - in spite of this unexpected turn of events yesterday.

Now that is good customer service.  Wish more companies would be that considerate.  They would definitely be on my Christmas list.

Lynn - J&D Contracting ALWAYS makes me look good to my clients.  When I talk to those clients months or even years later, they're still raving about J&D Contracting, and most of my clients have hired them again to finish a basement, make home repairs, etc.

Margaret, Real estate transactions require a team effort to get completed to the point where everyone is satisfied. That is why so many residents contact their Realtor when they need someone to do some work around their home.

Yikes! That IS above and beyond!

Now, I just hope the furniture was in worse shape than the picture shows....otherwise it seem such a waste of good furniture.

Just goes to show, think about what you do in your home and how it will impact the future.

My back yard has become much less accessible...and I've got some future landscape projects that are going to involve some heavy lifting and moving from the front driveway due to lack of access....

Whoops....

Tom - This is so true!  It turns out the pool table was a piece of junk, with a plywood surface, not slate - and the plywood was warped.  The furniture was beyond junk, I just photographed the room with the furniture far enough away so it didn't show much.  I suspect the current owners inheritied this furniture when they bought the house.  I don't know how the buyer will get anything downstairs... she may have to rip out the storage closets.
