Please do not use this man he ripped us off. He ruined our brand newly built house, we had to pay someone else double. This man is a disgraced, he takes money from people to pay for other jobs that he screwed up. That's he's in a holed. If anyone know where lives at please let me know. Me and my husband filed small claims on him and he gave us the wrong address so they dismissed the case. We in the process of hiring a private investigator he took 18.5k from us and paid us 5k back and now he not answering no calls, always come up with some excuse he need to be in jail. Please protect your family and money and do not use this guy please do not. He don't deserve the - star but it would not allow me to post without a star ratings. We had to pay someone else to rebuild our deck so the deck you see in the video is what we repaid someone else to do. Not to mentioned that Joe never got a permit to build this. We lost alot of money cause if this scammer. DO NOT USE HiM.

Acter filing with small claims court, and having a summons sent to him, which was not accepted, then a sheriffs delivery of a summons, which was returned because "Joe Stergo" was not at that business address... I researched and found that Joe Stergo has aliases including Joe Tennis" and Joe Sturgo. How was I to know of aliases and the lengths he goes through to steal from senior citizens!!!!! I am out $1400 plus court costs and no work done at my house.

Please do not use this man *** ******, he took 18.5k cash from us, he didnt do the work right, he didnt even get a permit as he said he tried to do several times but didnt. He even had his unlicensed workers come to redo it and they did worst than before and didnt even finish the job. The city inspectors came to us and made us demolish it. We just got our home built and he ruin our siding and well and we had to repay another licensed contractor to **** the whole deck, that was another 18k. We even had him on a payment plan and he couldnt keep that up. He had cost us more than the 18.5k that we gave him. He even owe us for emotional distress we couldnt even get grass this year cause we had to pay for two decks which cost us 40k. We are the only one in our development who havent got grass cause of all the money he cause us how embarrassing. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS MAN. I do not like how we have to put a star on the review cause he dont deserve a star.

On 8/5 I was quoted for a new deck and resurfacing an existing deck, for a total of $9,500. I gave a $5,000 deposit. After researching the company I stopped payment on the check within hours. The owner begged me to not stop payment, and trust him that all the bad reviews have been taken care of, and he was trying to turn his business around. My husband wrote a second check for $5,000. Materials were partially delivered. From 8/18 through 9/18 there were repeated no-shows. There was never a crew, only one worker. On 9/11 he asked for an additional $1,000. In the end $8,000 of the $9,500 was paid. The fascia board does not extend the frame and there are no end pieces on the Trex boards. His only contact came six weeks later, after a poor review.

Signed a contract. Paid a $1400 down payment (50% of the cost quoted). Given a finish date of September 25, 2025. Never followed up on my phone calls asking when the starting date would be as we approached the completion date. Did not return calls. When he picked up the phone, there was an excuse with a promise to return the call. Didn't call back. Finally we filed with BBB. He called and asked us to take down our review which I obviously won't until our money is returned. He responded to BBB that he is waiting to get a refund on the materials he supposedly ordered for the job. He never indicated anything about materials being ordered when I talked to him. Still no response. Tomorrow I will file with Small Claims Court. This is not the way I do business with ANYONE!!!! i HAVE NO TRUST IN THIS PERSON OR HIS BUSINESS!

Shame on me, researching reviews on Google for Joe Tennis, owner of the Decking Specialist, I should have stayed clear, but I was conned into believing his stories. After giving him a 50% down payment, the problems began and continued! Poor communication, delayed start times, and questionable craftmanship, he completed only part of the quoted agreement, and requested additional money for supplies. After refusing a second request for additional money, he quit the job. He left us with an unfinished deck project and the quality was average at best.

On 9/2 I signed an agreement with REMOVED of Decking Specialist to replace our deck at our Akron Home - REMOVED. He required 50% deposit for materials and the total job was quoted at $12,000 which I gave him in two checks - $5,000 on 9/2 and $1,000 on 9/15. The job was to be completed in late September. On Sept 25 I texted to confirm start date and he said he was running behind and would know by the next day. I didn't hear from him and texted again on 9/29, 10/1, and 10/2. On 10/3 I requested a return of my deposit. He texted back on 10/3 saying he already had purchased some of the materials and would give me a start date by 6 that evening. Not hearing from him I texted again on 10/4 - no reply. I texted again on 10/19 - no reply. I texted again on 10/25 stating I wanted a refund and I would be taking further action if I did not get a reply. He finally texted back saying he was in the hospital and would call when he was out. I have not heard from him again. At this point I do not have any confidence that this job will get done. His lack of communication was very unprofessional. He was supposed to complete the job over a month ago and at this point I just want a return of my deposit.

Got a quote, signed a contract, paid $1400 down payment, work to be completed by September 25, 2025. I called about the start date and sent emails and messages. When he did answer the phone, he gave an excuse that he had to call me back later... but he didn't. Now, long past the contracted date for the work, he is still not answering calls or my contacts. Left a message and a phone message that we were canceling the contract due to breach of contract and lack of professional communication. Asked for our deposit back. He has ghosted us. Sadly, I even gave his contact information to a cousin who needed a deck done....I would never have done this had I known *** ******* owner of Deck Specialist, was unreliable and untrustworthy. Please don't enter into a contract with this person. I hate that he is forcing me to go to Small Claims Court to get our deposit back!

Joe says he has been having issues with the building dept. but he will refund my money if he doesn't get anywhere with the building dept. He will try one more time to work with them. The building dept confirms that the building permit was approved in Nov but never picked up. It expires in June.

I contracted with *** ******* *** ************ to remove porch. Gave deposit to Joe ****** for 1/2 of total job cost. Communication then stopped until I threatened legal action, at which point work was scheduled. More delays, eventually on December 6 two men came by and tore off the porch deck. After removal of the decking, it was clear that the masonry needing replacing / repair. I asked JNL to wait while I had that work done. JNL then requested more money because of the delay, which I denied. JNL then tried to charge more for replacing joists ( which was included in original quote ) I was then deeply suspicious that the actual work would never be completed, and offered to pay JNL for work completed. I was ignored for months. Demanded a refund, more delays and excuses.

I contracted JNL Roofing Construction to rebuild my pool deck and home deck. Joseph Tennis wrote the contract to start job 7/30/23. The color of Trex I wanted was going obsolete and he couldn't get it by that date. So I asked for refund. He kept lying that he ordered some of it and was waiting for money to be deposited in his account. Then he finally said he didn't have money after lying over and over. I kept calling and texting him for my money back and told him I would take him to court. We agreed he would pay me $500 a week through Zelle Cash App. As of today, 10/28/23, he has paid me 3 payments of $250.00. I keep calling and texting to ask for payments and no response. Please help me get my money back. I put down a $4000.00 deposit for a $10,000 job. I've been nice enough for too long waiting on him to make payments. I keep getting run around or ignored. I wish I would have never contracted this company. I saw all the bad reviews later and was worried I made a mistake. I see that I did now.

Stay away from this company at all costs. Joseph Tennis will take your deposit. And not do job and you will not get your money back. He is very persistent on getting the deposit from you. But when he doesn’t do what contract says he will not respond or answer calls or texts. He was supposed to rebuild a pool.deck and home deck for 10,000. I gave him 4000 deposit n agreed to pay another 1000 when the materials got to my house. When time came n not materials I asked for refund n kept getting ignored or lied too.

That same day, I asked Joe for a refund, given that he was unable to begin the project. Joe readily promised to return our deposit. Since then, Joe has failed to return our money and has been repeatedly deceptive and evasive, making various excuses.

I finally gave him an ultimatum if he didn’t start the job the day after Memorial Day that we were done and I wanted my money back. He swore he would be there, but of course once again, a no call no show. So now since that day I have been contacting him to get my money back and it’s the same lies and excuses.

Joe T***** gave me the attached agreement. He started work on it the first week of January 2023. He didn't do what is described here. He installed terribly constructed treated wood railings instead of composite, he wrapped the posts in wood not composite, he stored the debris underneath the decking. He was to add joists underneath to support the instructions that come with TimberTech and it is clear he didn't do that. The boards are bouncing when we walk on them.

Contacted Joe ****** to build a deck. Gave me a decent quote for the job. Gave him half up front for materials, with the balance due upon completion. I asked his worker, when he had drilled the holes for the support footers if he contacted the city for their inspection. His reply was Joe said it wasn’t necessary. I asked him again after the posts and framing was completed. Again, was told it wasn’t necessary. I called the city myself and was informed that inspections WERE in fact necessary to verify the depth and circumference of the footers prior to pouring the concrete and again for the framing and finally for the decking at completion. They also didn’t use ground treated lumber for the framing (which is required to pass inspection) used the wrong nails/screws for the hangers, and the posts were leaning. It all had to be taken out and started again. A skinny 19 year old kid pulled the posts out by hand, literally, didn’t have to dig or use a pry bar or anything. Joe said he bought the materials for the project with the down payment, but after months of saying he’d bring them to me, all I ever got was about 20 composite flooring boards, no railings, correct hangers and screws, steps, or receipts for what he said he bought. Also, when I went to the address on the initial quote/bud, the people there had never heard of him or his company. They had owned the building for the past 4 years.

Updated review: joe promised to come out last sunday to fix the chimney if i removed my post. i told him i would remove my post when he fixed my chimney so it's still not fixed and i'm letting you all know what he has done again. more lies more no calls more not going to honor a 10-year contract...p.s..the family emergency has been an ongoing excuse for months . run!!! Original review: BEWARE :..JNL ROOFING/Joe Tennis was responsive UNTIL he got our money. He will not honor his 10 yr warranty contract, answer the phone, texts. He will answer if he thinks it's not you and then claim family emergency,set up appt, apologize and not show up or call repeatedly.My chimney is pouring water down the walls a month later. Save your money, time and hire a professional. Check Google and BBB also.

Gave Joe Tennis of JNL Roofing and Construction a deposit for a roof layover and as of today he has not done the work. As of January 2024, I am still trying to get my deposit back. Stay away and don’t give this guy any money upfront.

I hired JNL Roofing and Construction Parma, OH to repair my chimneys that were (and still are) leaking. They were also supposed to repoint between bricks. Joe Tennis sat in his truck while some kid he brought along smeared concrete on bricks, applied white sealant to black flashing around the chimney and said he repaired the chimney top where it was leaking. Joe sat in his truck whining because the transmission he'd just paid to have repaired was leaking. Imagine that, paying for something and not having it done properly. I paid $2,000.00 for repairs with a five-year guarantee and now Joe doesn't answer his phone and doesn't return my calls. Terrible shoddy work.

Avoid this company at all costs. Promises to review my roof's condition as part of a formal roof inspection. Never showed up on time, constantly evasive about project timelines and failed miserably.

Don't choose this company unless you want only black spray paint on your driveway and the side of your ruined by the spray. NOT HAPPY AND VERY DISAPPOINTED. It will cost me more money to get the job done again and remove the black spray off my light gray siding!

Joe tennis is nothing short of a con artist. I gave money upfront to have the work started, not only did the work take months (when I was told it would be days) it was left unfinished and joe has refused my calls/texts. My project looks worse now than before he started on it. Do not make the same mistake I did. Hire a professional.

Beware!!! Roofing Specialist (Joe Tennis) is deceitful and a con artist. I hired him for a chimney removal and roof repair on March 12, 2020. I am a nurse and was unable to travel to the property he was to repair due to the COVID-19 crisis. Unfortunately, I paid him $4750 and trusted he would complete the work he was contracted to do. When I was finally able to travel on April 4, 2020, I found that he not only did not repair the roof but actually did more damage resulting in significant water intrusion. See pic below - what roofer would think this was even close to being appropriate? He didn’t repair any of the rest of the roof in which there were damaged shingles and 'soft spots.' He also left the downspouts unattached and leaning against a tree. He left all the bricks from the chimney on the ground around my house as well as parts of a gutter. When I contacted him on April 4, 2020, he said he would come and fix all the issues. He did not. I continued to contact him and he told me he would refund my money in 2 installments and those dates came and passed without any refund. He stopped responding to my attempts to communicate with him. I filed a claim with Porch but haven’t received any response from them. I later found him listed on the Better Business Bureau with an 'F' rating. I’m surprised that Porch permits 'Roofing Specialist' to be on their site and didn’t screen them for quality. The company address is: 21940 Lorain Rd., Cleveland, OH 44126. Save yourself time, money, and stress and do your homework before contracting and stay away from this company.

He has been to my house multiple times to attempt to fix a leak. I paid him $650 and it is still leaking. He said he would give me half my money back but never showed up to return it. I also took him to court, and he never showed up (but the judge did rule in my favor)... save yourself the trouble and the money!!
