To Whom It May Concern:
I am submitting to you my candidate for Business of the Month- J2 Solutions, Inc.
I read an article in the Sarasota Herald Tribune about Jess Fronckowiak, President of J2 Solutions. The article was about his particular business model that he had developed. It was very intriguing to me. I am a retired builder and he sounded very professional to me.
So I invited him to bid on a new Garage that I planned to build. He personally came to my home on Longboat Key to begin the bid process. I then had to wait over a year to begin the process of construction. I did get another bid from a friend that builds on Longboat Key. J2 Solutions was substantially below the bid I received from my 'friend'.
Despite the long wait to get the business, J2 Solutions maintained a regular follow up with me, which is rare among contractors.
I had particular requirement that they build the garage as quickly as possible for me. The said this normally takes 90 days to complete. In my case the work was completely done in 57 days. I was very pleased with this as you might imagine.
They always communicated with me on every detail of the job and when it would occur. They also had a job progress report on-line so that I could access events directly from my computer. Nice touch.
We are located in a coastal high velocity zone which requires much more stringent construction standards to be met. They passed our local code enforcement inspections every time with a single exception. Longboat Key has very high standards for builders to meet. J2 Solutions excelled and, in fact, the inspector told me on the final inspection that he did not know this builder but he complimented him on doing the job so well. He said the sub-contractors did work that was almost flawless which he found somewhat unusual in his normal inspections of other contractor’s jobs.
I had been somewhat concerned that we were located far enough from Venice that we might be treated somewhat casually because of the distance the tradesmen would have to travel. This was absolutely not the case. Every date for each part of the project was met or I was forewarned of a possible delay. This only happened twice.
Josh Fronckowiak handled all the on-site construction details and he was excellent.
The Company oozed integrity in every dealing I had with them. That in itself is somewhat rare in the construction business.
I made several changes in the course of the project and these changes were fairly priced and handled instantly.
I guess you would say that I am a very satisfied customer of J2 Solutions.
I would like to see them awarded the “business of the month” by the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce because in my experience they are the business of the month.
Cordially,
Ronald A. Johnson
(Former mayor of Longboat Key)
