Testimonials
I attended your class in Arizona about 2 months after Sept 11 and learned a lot.
I didn’t do anything with the technology until 2007 when I built my own pool. I bought the DVD course as a refresher before I started. It took 8 months of working nights and weekends but I’m proud to be able to say that I built the entire pool myself thanks to what I learned from you.
I thought I would share the results because I made these rocks and designed the pool with the concepts I learned from you.
Thanks again,
I wanted to let you know that I was asked to give a presentation today to the Oregon Museum Assosciation on Dynamic Exhibit Design. I told the group of JPJ’s amazing DVD course on faux synthetic rock, everyone was very interested. So I hope there is a spike in DVD sales, Just wanted to share the news.
Thanks for all great support over the years.
I finally completed my waterfall and I used your instruction video and I was amazed at what a wonderful feature I created, thanks to you!
I finally finished my first attempt! I still need to finish the landscaping around it, add some more plants inside and then add some fish. Since I rent the house, I made it as a two part component system.
I am so happy with it and I could not have done it with out your great course!
Wow! I am very impressed with your work – particularly the work you do with Natural hot tubs and synthetic rocks. I’ve always wanted to learn how to do that. How did you learn?
I own a landscape contracting co. down in Portland area.
Yes the rock is awesome! I have been to a lot of schools over the years, overlays, stamped Concrete, acid finishing etc. and JPJ is by far the BEST school I have ever been to. The support after the school is by far the best also.
I can’t say enough good about JPJ. I don’t get a dime for this so this is not a paid advertisement, I just honestly think it was the best school I’ve ever been to, I paid for 2 guys, me being one of them, to go to the class so I had 2 of us ready to hit the ground running when we got home.
I’m looking forward to a great summer making rock. One other thing that was a big deal to me is they don’t set you up so you have to buy materials from them, infact they don’t want to sell you stuff, you can get everything your self. So many other places want to sell you over priced product while they bleed you dry.
JPJ is awesome! Its money well invested. Good Luck.
I wanted to drop you a line and some pictures to let you know how good your Technical Manual and DVD’s on synthetic rock construction is. With what you have in the course and a little hard work on my part I built a flume and fountain in one month. This was the first fountain I have ever built.
My customer is very happy and said that I took a look in his head and built it exactly as he dreamed it would look – like he walked up on it in the woods and to match his house color.
Thank you for the helping hand.
After completing your 3 day course in Oct. 2002, I returned home and made myself some rocks. I boulderized over my dog houses and turned them into caves, made landscape boulders for our only gas station, and a boulder wall that was 45 ft. long and 9 ft. tall. They were all pretty impressive.
I do not have a construction background; I am not a contractor. Therefore, I hesitated to build a water feature. Well, I finally built one in my backyard and WOW! People are absolutely astonished at the result. They wonder where I got the boulders and how did I moved them there. It is a pool and a spa; I just followed the instructions from the DVDs and the manual.
If a novice like me can build it anyone can! I give your course an A+ and many kudos! My wife is very happy!
I found your training program to be the most complete in the field of synthetic rock construction and deck resurfacing. I have attended training by others in these areas of construction. Their so called training courses (seminars) are not anything more than a two day sales pitch for their products, with just a few of the basics and little or no tech support.
With your course I was provided visual and written tech manuals with more than just a few of the basics. You have a complete in depth instructional how to and what not to do course that not only covers the basics. It is more detailed than the other courses, but by far surpasses their training. Your are one who has been in the field teaching your course and not sales personnel along with one person that has some working knowledge.
You teach all aspects of synthetic rock: from material used to hand placing and casting techniques to creating realistic looking rock features. (not throw and go – use our material – technique taught by others.)
Since your success comes not from material sold after the course, but by the success of those attending the course, you can and do offer honest and complete in depth training. You show a genuine willingness to give tech support after the 3 day training.
I would highly recommend that anyone wanting to enter the field of synthetic rock construction, deck resurfacing, and even those in the field should attend your School of Synthetic Rock Construction.
I have found that the knowledge that I received from you saved me the cost of the course on my first large water feature in material cost alone. I have also found that by using your methods that I can offer a better product to my clients.
If you choose to use pre-packaged materials or use your own on the job mix you can only benefit from attending JPJ Technologies School of Synthetic Rock Construction.
I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your instructional DVDs on “faux” rock building.
I have had the DVDs for over a year now, but have just only recently had time to apply the knowledge to a real sculpture.
I have to tell you that I got such pleasure out of creating this sculpture that I am planning on a water feature next spring.
I want to relate to you a small story leading up to my purchasing of your tapes; I am not in the pool business and I am not a mason, I just wanted to do something creative so I looked on the internet and ran across a company that was giving a seminar in Akron. I signed up right away.
When I arrived there were probably 30 people in the 2 day class. Although initially intrigued by how quick the features could be finished (2 to 3 days) I was disappointed by the appearance as well as the fact that the company providing the seminar was just pushing their pre-packaged product, which by the way was exorbitantly priced.
I seemed to be the only one there that was wondering why we couldn’t just make our own formulas. Being a total novice I didn’t know what was in the formulas that is until I received your DVDs and manual.
I was dissatisfied with the whole weekend and went back on the internet and I found your company – thank God! By the way, I don’t think I should mention the company’s name, but the pre-packaged bags had only obviously contained polystyrene beads and cement. They were very cautious and secretive about the mixes such as the hydro seal.
I have to laugh now. I am very fortunate that I found your company and ordered your DVDs. I only regret not having been able to attend your classes. Your willingness to share your formulas has been invaluable to me and my hat is off to your company.
I now have something exciting to look forward to – a more creative me. Thank you so much!
