J National Contractors

They use unlicensed plumbers that don't know what is legal or not. Beware of using for anything other than clearing the sewer line through an an approved outdoor clean out at a residential house only.

Hi there all you busy people. Thanks for taking the time to read this review and I hope that it finds you well and in need of a great Electrician.

Let's start at the beginning. I started to get flickering lights, my garage door stopped opening automatically, the A/C went out along with my electric stove, microwave, and washer/dryer. I had partial power...meaning my TV worked and I had some lights in the house. I live in Texas, in incredibily HOT weather in the summer...and of course, when the A/C went out during the beginning of July in 100 degree heat I was terrified.

I called my electric company (Oncor, BOO!) to help get the power going. I had no idea what was going on. They came out when I wasn't here and left a note on my door stating I would have to replace the part on the meter box because it wasn't their problem and they suggested I call an electrician to get the power going. Luckily I have a home warranty and they sent out J National Contractors from Dallas. Juan Chavelas made the call. My power went out on a Friday afternoon...the hottest part of the day and everyone was reluctant to come out on a weekend and they wanted an arm and leg for emergency calls. It was now Saturday afternoon and I still had no power. When Juan came out he was exhausted from working all day, but he still cared about my problem. He knew I was without power in 100 degree heat with no where to go. I don't have a lot of money for hotel rooms and no way to cook my food. He went right to work.

Juan finished the job quickly without taking a break in the heat. He got my power back on in less than an hour. This kind of company, and man, go to show you that some people still care about the customer. Which is number one in my book. I don't normally do reviews unless someone goes above and beyond the call of duty. This company is now going to be my "go to" company when I need an electrician. If you need good people who care about the customer and not just the money, please go with them. Their efficient friendly attitude is so refreshing in a world that's filled with so many people who are just there for the paycheck and don't care about your problems. So please, go with J National if you need a good reference.

I was scheduled for an 11:am interview today for an administrative position. I was scheduled to meet Tatiana and Maggie, per a previous phone conversation.

When I arrived Tatiana, who was at the front desk, was already speaking unprofessionally to someone on the phone.

I walked up, introduced myself, and she handed me about 10 pages of paperwork. I said "I thought I was scheduled for an interview at 11 am?" In otherwords, please do not ask for:
1) my social sec number
2) my eexact address, including unit number,
3) for me to reiterate my entire resume, work experience, piece by piece
4) for me to reiterate my entire resume's contact/reference info
5) signature for them to do a background check before I've ever met ONE person to see if it's a good fit.
6) ion my day off, I had 2 more appointments scheduled... even the doctors office tells you if you need to come an hour early to complete an autobiography, which again was already on resume

People who ask for all of your personal information without even first meeting you make me wonder.

And not to mention that every person who walked by looked a lot shady.

And then there was another guy who apparently got all dressed up and ready for an "interview" too...he kept rolling his eyes as if to thank me for saying what he was thinking.

J NATIONAL...Please DO NOT WASTE PEOPLE'S TIME. IF YOU ARE A DOOR TO DOOR, FULL COMMISSION, OR OTHERWISE SOME FUNKY SCHEME (PYRAMID ??), then just man-up. Some people still need that. Just try some honesty and respect of other people and their time.

This place is junky!! It's contrary to the pics on the Internet.

Ahhh!!! Now I feel better

JNational has been servicing our property for the past 5 years. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They have always been very professional, punctual and informative when explaining details of the job/repairs needed. They by far are my #1 call when in need. The other reviews are true -I will give a shoutout to Yuval as well. Yuval is very informative and has made JNational feel like we are part of their family! All of their guys are great. I don't think I have ever met any other one of their guys and had any bad experiences. Hats off to JNational! Thank you for such great service.

I was out of the country when we had a problem with the hot water heater at one of my rent houses. I told the tenant to cap repairs at $150 or contact me with the repair amount. J National went out and fixed the problem. They told my tenant $125. Once they found out my cap was $150, they upped the fee to that amount. So my $125 repair became a $150 repair once I got back in town.

We are a condominium community in houston flooded by hurricane harvey. J national wasn't even a asked to bid on the rebuild project. Because their reviews were so poor. However, unbeknownst to anyone else, The former(resigned before being voted out) president had a longtime friendship with the owners wife. She secretly ,illegally, brought J national instead of the company the board had voted on and chosen. There is nothing wrong with having friends and acquaintances bid on work. That is not what happened here. J national didn't ever bid, after owners started asking questions and realizing that a switch of chosen companies occurred. Scott Trainer the houston manager wouldn't even provide a copy of the contract to owners. nor would he provide a price breakdown detailing what exactly they were charging for. Mr . Trainor and Mr. Katav give an entire new meaning to gaslighting. They talk in circles. They will not answer direct questions. Unfortunately, all of the owners suffered. The former board member paid out the money before the work had been done. None of the work was signed off on by the project manager. The majority of the board had no idea what was going on. All in All, the hoa was billed and paid over $202,000 for what actually was only $48,000 worth of work. Then, they walked off the job. When owners demanded answers. Mr katav came down from Dallas claimed he would make things right . However after a year of stringing the board along , the evidence of the outright fraud and billing for work that was not done was irrefutable. Mr. Katav left the last meeting, admitted that there were serious problems with the numbers . He promised to get back to the Hoa board president and then "forgot".We are in the process of exploring every legal remedy the HOA has available. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. I never leave reviews. But am so disgusted by the extent of this fraud. Thank goodness for yelp and other review sites. Hopefully, any potential customers will read through all the reviews and immediately remove J national from any consideration.

I hired JNational for electrical work and they did a good job. In particular, the foreman was a really nice guy who had sold his electrical contracting business to JNational. The gentlemen was very helpful as well and pointed out several other issues that needed to taken care of regarding my units and the entire complex in general.

JNational also bid on and worked with our HOA for several projects. As with any major construction project, there will always be issues that come up and will need to be addressed. Whats important is the ability of the contractor to show up with a good faith attitude and a commitment to honesty and making things right. I am glad to report, JNational came through and made things right.

DO NOT HIRE! These people are the worst. They charged me 850 dollars plus tax to fix a small water leak from my toilet "after hours". literally 20 dollars worth of parts and an hour worth of work (if that). They should not be carrying wrenches, but rather wearing ski masks and carrying sidearms because this is highway robbery! Their field supervisor is also extremely rude. Please do yourselves a favor and hire another company.

That Emily W. From Jnational is one big liar... I do not have multiple accounts in order to leave multiple negative reviews just for jnational. It's more like multiple people have similar experience with J national . I think I am being nice... That Emily W. from Jnational absolutely is a liar at least. She needs to correct her response statement.
