Description of Work: I received an estimate from Mr Clark and the first thing that he said was "I have to go soon". I felt rushed and like he didn't want to do the $30,000 job. I ended up finding someone else to do the work that was excited, prompt and professional

The project went great. Jim was very easy to work with and was very professional throughout. The workmanship was excellent and I would definitely recommend him.
Description of Work: Got interior paint done for my 2 BR condo.
Jim's work was exemplary. He was fast, efficient and the price was very fair and reasonable for the time and work completed.While up on the roof Jim even changed the electrical box for the outside flood lights and replaced the bulbs. In addition he was kind enough to give us advice on how to fix the landscape lighting just to help us out. He did not try to oversell and my mother very much appreciated his help and pleasant personality. He was even friendly to our very yappy dog! We hope to have Jim's help with other projects in the near future.
Description of Work: This work was on my mother's home. It included removal and replacement of a section of the soffit which had been damaged by woodpeckers and also fixing two leaks from gutters. The work was on the second floor and required that all repairs be done on a ladder.

I had a job dealing with insulation and had a hard time finding someone to do it. I finally found this company, they did the job, but charged about twice it was worth because they knew I was in a bind. I found it unjust to take advantage of retired people.
Description of Work: Removed some insulation and installed two gable vents.

WOW: I've never been so blasted before. I never did meet [member name removed] always dealt with [member name removed] sorry she felt that way. [Member name removed] told me they had 2or3 other contractor look at the job and no one got back with him. I bid the project time & material 2 men most of a day. They accepted my bid of $725.00 witch was well within reason do to the horrible work environment & conditions. The job didn't go as well as expected could have easily cost them $ 1000.00!!! Didn't know anyone was in a bind and certainly didn't take advantage of anyone I provided them with a service. Thank You Lord for Patient & tolerance

Jim works around the cold weather, arrives as promised and get the job done. Absolutely no complaints.
Description of Work: Complete redo of long, chain-link fence that was in the way of a fallen tree. Perfection!
Overall it went great. No complaints - we'd recommend Jim to anyone. He was professional throughout, communicated well, cleaned up the work site, and delivered exactly what he said he would - namely, a room we're extremely happy with.
Description of Work: Jim Clark, Clark Construction, finished a guest room in our exposed lower level for us. It was essentially an unfinished basement room, now it is the guest bedroom. Mudded, trimmed and painted.

He's a good guy to do business with.
Description of Work: We called Jim Clark to install a storm door, replace a garage window, and do some drywall repair last winter. He was very responsive, conscientious, and attentive to detail. He pointed out a piece of cracked floor tile under the toilet that needed to be repaired, even though he was there to repair drywall. I've called him back, and we'll have him install a patio door, some trim moulding, and do some bathroom remodeling. He spent many years as a finish carpenter, and it shows in his work - very meticulous.

They showed up on time and got to work. The work was completed in 3 hours including clean up of the attic insulation that fell as a result of the removal of the old unit. The new units were larger than the old ones and there is no damage to the ceiling where the hole had to be enlarged.
Description of Work: We had 2 bathroom fan / light / heater fixtures replaced in two separate bathrooms. They removed the old fans and installed the new ones.

Company did not follow through with bidding and was late when he did show up. They were personable but I was expecting him to be more active with the follow through since this was such a large project. He wanted his ceramic guy to come out during the day when I told him that I could not do days. He was not able to assist us himself, he needed additional help from his subcontractors.
Description of Work: He was contracted to do the whole remodel of 2 bathrooms, replace the staircase and carpet in the basement.

From the price quote to picking out the countertop/faucets and etc..... I left him in charge of every detail and it is just beautiful. Thanks
Description of Work: Jim installed a kitchen countertop/sink/faucet in a rental unit kitchen, and tub surround, new shower faucets/ and installed kitchen sink faucet. Nice job and finished in less then a week..... I will be using his skills again in another rental unit soon. Thanks for a great job done.
Mr. Clark gave me a detailed estimate based on my plan for the room in the basement. Along the way we changed a few things and at the end of the project he provided detail of those changes. He arrived to work when he said he would and the project was done in the time he estimated. I am very happy with the result and will probably hire him again if I have other projects.
Description of Work: Finished a room in the basement including framing, drywall, paint, electrical and heating.

Things went well overall. He’s really meticulous in his work and he does really nice carpentry work. I think the price is a little high but he shows up on time, he stays all day, and he finishes the job.
Description of Work: Clark Construction has done several things for me. About a month ago he replaced a door for me.

When Jim replaced my front and screen doors back in fall of 2008, I had him check out my bathroom because the floor behind the toilet was soft and dipping in. He showed me in my basement how the subfloor was rotted out. Of course I thought, "great another project $$$". My bathroom looked OK, but I knew it had to be taken care of...................... I had a week set up with Jim to come back, in May. Meanwhile I shopped for a new toilet, vanity, faucet, medicine chest, and ceramic tile flooring. I could have kept the old vanity, but what the heck........... So Jim came in May, removed the toilet, vanity, flooring, and the rotted boards. Stinky too. That was a lot of work just to get to the problem area. I thought the whole 5x5' area (not counting the tub space) would have to be replaced but it turned out only about 3x3' was bad. Jim reinforced the beams in the basement with 2x6's, laid the new floor, then the cement board, and put my new toilet in place. He did this because I have only one bathroom, which was great to have a toilet again until he came back. The next day, he removed the toilet and laid the tile, and put the toilet back in place. The next day the vanity and medicine chest was placed. I love my new Euro style sink and ceramic floor! I chose 4x4" ceramic tiles for the sink's back splash and a really cool looking sleek faucet. Jim cut the floor tile in half to use it for my baseboard which really looks cool too. He did all the grouting last. It sure sounds like the job was easy when you write it in a few paragraphs, but it was very time consuming, labor intensive, with a small area to work within. Jim also had to deal with those old pipes in the basement that never want to come apart, and connect the new pipes. And when he cut the flooring, it wasn't just the toilet hole, my vent pipe runs up right close to the toilet, so he had to work around that, and the hole for the toilet water supply line is right there too. He really had his work cut out for him. Jim also boxed in that ugly vent pipe. My bathroom looks great, the floor is solid !!!. This was not a one day project for one guy. I really appreciated Jim putting in, taking out, and putting back in the toilet so my daughter and I didn't have to go without. And I really love my Euro style sink !!! Jim is a great guy, works hard, has all the tools he needs with him, and I am sure he will be back here for another project.
Description of Work: An area of the bathroom sub floor was rotted and needed replacing. New vanity, toilet, and flooring installed also.
Jim Clark came over within a few days of our initial conversation, assessed the job, and returned to my home within a week to discuss the job and cost. I had the choice of either special ordering the doors to fit the space, or have him fit the doors I could purchase from a local store. I opted to special order the doors. He brought brochures of doors for me to choose from. Within three weeks, Jim returned with the doors to do the job. Jim removed the old doors, also the inside wood door trim without one making one crack in my old plaster walls, removed the rotten wood beneath the door, and baseboard where the tile was laid. I watched Jim as he worked, he is very meticulous. I did not realize the time and work involved in prepping for the installation of the doors. The doors went in, new wood on the inside to replace the old wood frame, the rotten big piece of wood under the door was replaced, tile laid, baseboard replaced, some insulation placed, I kept my old lock, and got a new door knob. Jim made sure I was pleased with the results before he left. I chose to dispose of the old doors and wood scrap through my trash service. The new doors work great! I like Jim. He clearly informed me of cost and other purchases required to complete the job. I had the choice of picking up the needed lumber or he would. Jim has a trailer with every tool at hand, does not stop working, keeps going like the energizer bunny. I will call him for help with my next project.
Description of Work: Clark Construction. Janesville, Wisconsin, 608-289-8693. Installation of front screen door and door. Replace rotten wood beneath it. Install entrance tile.
