Shawn exceeded our expectations on the island he completed for us. The quality of his work is exceptional and his price was fair. He ordered all the hardware I needed at his discounted price. Shawn was always on time, professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We would recommend him to anyone who has small jobs around the house to be finished!
Description of Work: I needed a kitchen island finished that another contractor started and did not complete after I paid him.

We were home as we are both disabled, so it all took a little longer than usual, but he didn't disturb our normal routine. He was exceptionally nice the entire time. My wife and I are very pleased with everything he did and will not hesitate to call him again. Actually we've discussed our future plans with Mr. Dawson.
Description of Work: Repair damaged drywall in living room, dining room and master bedroom; as well as replace drywall in hallway. Replaced three doors, painted rooms mentioned, replaced missing trim, painted all trim and doors. He even fixed a problem in our sunroom.

Shawn was very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions. He was exact in his estimate, so there were no surprises on the cost. He finished the job very quickly. I am very happy with the quality of work he performed. I am already scheduled for more work with Shawn! I highly recommend him.

We were very impressed with Shawn. He was very knowledgeable and creative. He had a can do attitude and he seemed very trustworthy. He understood what our needs were and my desire to balance what I could do myself to save money and what I needed help with. He even offered to do a couple of small things at no extra cost. For the things I could do he gave good advise as to how to accomplish them. With his knowledge and experienced I wondered why he was working as a handyman. Apparently it was his way of dealing with the slowness of work during the recession, I told you he is creative! Ventilation system is working well, of course I won't know for sure how well will work till the hot steamy days of summer return :-). Next time we need to hire someone to do projects around the house we probably will not even shop around. We'll just call Shawn. We found a good guy and intend to stick with him.
Description of Work: Installed a ventilation system in the basement to get rid of humidity and mold problems. He also did some odd jobs around the house such as closing up holes that mice could get through.

When you call him he will return your call that day or the next day. As I said he is a handy man and can repair many things. He gives you an estimate for each item with a price and he will email the information to you. When you decide what you want done he will comes out and starts on his list and then goes to the next item. He does works in a timely fashion. Very please with his work.
Description of Work: Shawn Dawson - Owner Dryer hose was not vented outside - had it vented through the vent openings around the house that already existed. Discovered a leak that was in the soap dish in the bath tub. Trying to locate new soap disk. Patched septic tank pipe with a specific type of cement to eliminate water coming in under the house. Put insulation in 11 old vents that were left open when the new heating/cooling system was installed. This eliminated roaches coming up through the vents and eliminated cold air coming up through the vents too. He is a real handy man and does an excellent job. Thank you, Mary Ann Rice
