Description of Work: I'm a repeat customer, having done business with Ken back in July 2011 when I first bought my present home. This time around, was to take care of a large 1/2 bathroom in my downstairs that was sorely in need of remodel (was original to construction in 1983). The original material supplied by the builder was shoddy and cheesy. The floor had bad water damage, the result of a previous homeowner who installed laminate in the bathroom - the job was, ahem,.....substandard to put it gently, and in addition, the previous homeowner blew it when he re-seated the toilet. It was a mess. I had Ken out to the house @ 6 months before, to get a quote on doing the remodel. I didn't have the funds then, but wanted to make him aware of my intent, and to get pointers. This time around I wanted to approach the project from a "labor-only" quote, since bathrooms (and kitchens) become one of those where the homeowner is more involved, choosing the components/colors they like best. Ken pointed out the vendors with the best quality/value component, and how to approach certain aspects of material. I did want quality first, but I have to say I saved a good deal of money, or at least got the best value for my dollar in following his advice. I pretty much admit I'm not interested in being a do-it yourselfer, although I enjoy causal wood building projects: planter benches, storage sheds, miscellaneous knick-knacks - but I've gotten away from a lot of that since I have a demanding job that saps my time during the week and weekends. At my past home I tried my hand at plumbing - a $50 job turned into a $1100 job, since I damaged copper piping which had to shut down the main to fix - all this was on a Sunday afternoon with time running out - had to call in a plumber (and got one of those 24 hr "shark" plumbing outfits... never again). I've smartened up and found that if I really stop and look, there is an abundance of local talent here art reasonable prices, as long as you pay them fairly, develop a good business relationship and hold them to high quality expectations. I like to keep my money here with the locals and businesses in Livermore, and I haven't (and don't expect to be) let down. So back to it here - I wanted Ken to provide installation skills in a complete bathroom remodel, including demo, haul-away scrap, remove all water damaged items/replace with new quality material, strip wall paper, repair sheetrock (from an unrelated issue. On the build/remodel side: Correct/Install subfloor, wainscot/molding, vanity, top, tile, lighting, sheetrock work, painting, etc...the whole enchilada. He gave me a quote at that time, and stuck with the same quote 6 months later, when I was ready to go. After I had collected all the materials/paint, I contacted Ken for a start date, and he was able to slot me in at a reasonable point. Once there, he got busy quickly.

Description of Work: Recommended by my Agent. Purchased a bank-owned home with a slew of issues needing attention in Kitchen. My fundamental need was to convert a loft, closing off a wall, installing fold-back doors and converting it into a fully functioning bedroom - that also included installing a fully functioning closet and lastly putting laminate flooring in the room. There was also a 2nd bedroom where I wanted laminate flooring installed. All of this had to be done in short-order, within one week after close of escrow. Ken stepped up, so I gave him the business.
