John E. Jenkins did a paving job for me on my commercial property in Gastonia NC. Although the job looked great when completed, the asphalt developed a crack in one of the seams. When I contacted Christian Throckmorton about the problem, he had a team of professionals visit the property and immediately set a date to remedy the problem. I've experienced first hand, the character of the management and the owner of John E. Jenkins, and would highly recommend them to all.

Then he wanted to know if we had had a quote refused before by them”. After being thoroughly insulted by this guy, we made some inquires and found out that they had a terrible reputation for poor quality work. We obviously

I was looking for work and done all the required steps. Had to delay a little and then I was to start on Wednesday. I had a better opportunity get thrown at me and couldn't refuse. Anyway they are super nice and I couldn't ask for a better experience when applying for a job. Who knows I might have to come back and give them a call if current job doesn't play out. Good job 👍
