Everybody that looked at it said it was some of the best workmanship they have seen in a long time. We were extremely pleased with everything. I can't praise this company enough for what they did. A house being purchased was scheduled to close, but 10 days before that, an accident occurred with a car crashing into the corner of the garage, causing major damage.
J.D. Griffiths came to the rescue, and completely repaired everything like it never happened, with two days to spare.

Todd and JD Griffiths did a fantastic job getting my mother's garage rebuilt after a tree fell on it during a storm in July 2021. They did everything they could to get the garage built as quickly as possible. Todd and the owner were always very responsive to any needs or questions. When Todd was out, the owner stepped in to assist on a time-sensitive issue. You do not often find this kind of service, especially with contractors. If you need a garage built and you are in their service area, this is the company to do it!

Brad and the JD Griffiths crew did a fantastic job on our new garage. The project was complicated because we were not living in the area at the time of construction. We basically had to trust Brad and his crew to perform the scope of work, on time and on budget. When we finally saw the finished garage in person when we moved in months later, we couldn't have been more pleased. The company has a strong reputation for good reason and Brad is person of his word.

Our garage door opener stopped working after a recent power outage. We called JD Griffith's and had a service tech come out very quickly to check things out. The opener was not repairable but we were able to immediately make an appointment to have a new opener installed. Kevin took care of us both times and did a wonderful job! He explained everything thoroughly and was a delight to work with! We would not hesitate to refer anyone to JD Griffith's and will definitely use them in the future should the need arise.

My garage door spring had broke and I needed it replaced. I called on Wednesday and was given a flat rate including tax over the phone and was told the technician would be at my house the next day. Today, Thursday, I received an "I'm en route to your home and will arrive in 30-40" call from the serviceman. Kevin who serviced my door was very pleasant and professional.
He completed the job in less than an hour and the estimated price was what I paid. He also used the side door to access my garage rather than coming through the house. At the end, he answered any questions I had. Overall, I am thrilled. My garage door is back in working order with no fear of the springs hurting anyone. Thank you JD Griffiths!

My garage spring broke back in fall of 2017 and I hired JD Griffiths to replace it. The service was excellent at the time, and the price was fair. The service people were friendly. In June of 2019 I noticed that one of the door panels was starting to sag, causing the force sensor to trip. I had no reservations about calling JD Griffiths again - and they came out and quickly added a strut and also gave everything a thorough review including re-tightened springs and re-balanced the door - all for a very reasonable price once again. 5 stars

Our experience with this company started out pretty OK. I called and I set up an estimate with Jerry. Jerry called three days before the appointment and ask if we could reschedule to the following week because of some things happening. I agreed. And the following week comes and it's half an hour after the appointment time and no one is here. I call Jerry and he apologized said he had written the appointment in the wrong spot.
We rescheduled and he came out later that day. He seemed really nice. He listened to what we wanted and made suggestions. He got us our estimate within a reasonable timeframe. He told us that if we liked the contract and signed it within a certain timeframe, he could have the garage completed by November 2018. Well, after we got the estimate and said we were interested in working with him, he then started to backpedal.
Suddenly there were issues on his side and he needed to talk to the city inspector. He gave us the whole story - if our garage would require frost footings their company does not do frost footings. Well that's a complete load of BS. JD Griffith builds attached garages which require frost footings. So, they do frost footings, but they do not want to do our job. Also, he did not offer us any other options for building our garage like other contractors have done. Jerry talked to the city inspector and sent me an email stating JD Griffith does not do frost footings, if we could get someone to do the concrete then he would gladly build our garage for us if we wanted. Yeah, I don't think so.
If I can't trust a contractor to be truthful with me, then I am not picking that contractor to work for me. Lots of overpromising and under delivering. Just be honest. If the job is too complicated for you or if you do not have enough time to complete it, let the homeowner know.

JD Griffiths is a Top Notch Company. I have had the pleasure of doing business with JD Griffiths on many occasions. over many years. You will not find a better family owned business. You do not build a stellar reputation spanning 50 years unless you are experts at what you do. This is whats wrong with review sites. allowing 10 yr old complaints. Ridiculous, While other garage builders garages are falling down, leaking or rotting after 10 years a person is bitter about flaking driveway.
Also complaint about scheduling? Seriously? your Dr. keeps you waiting hours, your city overcharges for taxes and your complaint in life was scheduling confusion? Building quality structures is a huge undertaking. Without a doubt we all made the best decision when we elected to do business with JD Griffiths. There are hundreds of sloppy, fly by night garage builders.
They will slap up a garage in a few days and disappear or out of business in two years. Would this have made Karina or Diana happy? You need to keep a perspective and know when you cross the line on being fair or unfair with your experiences. JD Griffiths has been around Milwaukee for something like 50years " that's heck of a long time in any industry" I normally do not write reviews but I stumbled across Karina's review and as someone who has had many interaction with JD Griffiths Company I felt compelled to set the record straight. Shame on those who complain 10 years after the fact or those who feel entitled to have no confusion in scheduling or unexpected events take place in life. EVER HAVE A NEW HOUSE BUILT. Having JD Griffiths on the job was a wise decision. know where they are located? same address for the last 50 YEARS. I am just a regular guy who appreciates quality in a world where its so rare.

My husband called JD Griffiths in the morning and a guy came out to fix our garage door by 2:30 in the afternoon. He was quick and professional. He fixed the problem, plus lubricated the gears free of charge. I never knew our garage door could open and close so quietly! My husband and I are very happy with the work and the price tag. The final price actually came in $5 less than he originally said it would be. and I know that isn't a lot, but every little bit counts, right? Plus, he didn't try to jack up the price and find more things wrong just to get paid more. I highly recommend this company.
