Jame replaced an exterior garage side door. He was very responsive and prompt. He was not the cheapest, however he was very meticulous in his installation and my husband and I were very pleased with his work. Bottom line I would definitely use him again.

James is true professional. The quality of his work is outstanding. He absolutely goes the extra mile and fixed another problem that was completely separate from the original work I hired him for. Best experience I have had with a contractor todate. Highly recommended.

I hired James Adkins to replace a window that had water damage. He was very pleasant to work with and knowledgeable about the work that had to be done. He spent a lot of time explaining my options and selecting the proper window replacement. His price was fair compared to other bids I received. The project was conmpleted in a timely and efficient manner and the final results were great. I highly recommend him.

James is meticulous which is a good trait when installing custom doors. He was flexible in making a schedule change to fit my schedule. Was available to take my calls when picking out doors.

Will hire again! James installed a beveled glass exterior door and I found his attention to detail, completeness, time, and functionality to be of the highest standard. My new door operates with easy and is well sealed all the way around. The hinges and fixtures where installed perfectly. He maintained a meticulous work space and left the area cleaner than when he arrived. His costs where reasonable and in hindsight, for the quality, his is very-very reasonable. I am extremely pleased and look forward to working with James on future projects.

James is very meticulous; his workmanship is outstanding. He cleans everything up before he leaves; no dust, no dirt. Our install was an exterior iron door on a single family residence. Everything that could challenge James did; the house was out of square, the iron door jam was not square; one door was longer than the other, etc.. He just kept working and working and when he left, he had a beautiful install and had trimmed it out very nicely. I would recommend him without hesitation and use him in future endeavors.

When I called James, he immediately began looking around and pricing for an exterior metal door. He had to cut and fit the new door, plus he installed an exterior frame. He did an excellent job. He was pleasant and thorough. I highly recommend him; a very high level tradesman/contractor.

James is a master level tradesman, very pleasant and thorough. His price to fit a new door into an older home (had to cut and fit to exacting detail) was very I am retired from the construction industry and would hire him again without hesitation.
