started out very well but ended up not good.
Description of Work: We hired John and Rob to build an addition on our 'fixer upper' and we absolutely love it. they also rebuilt some walls that were poorly done years ago and again great work. installing flooring was where they lost us. Had LVP laid in the majority of the house and unfortunately we have 8 places where the planks have separated. We had another home pro take a look at this and his opinion is that during installation the lip was broken on the planks which prevents them from staying locked - and this is not isolated to one location, it's around the house and it's likely to flooring will need to be replaced.

would recommend caution when contracting - my experience is that it depends on the job.
Description of Work: we hired John and Rob to renovate our 'fixer upper'. They built a small addition on the house and we love it. That job i can rate at 5 stars. They rebuilt some walls that were poorly done many years ago and again they did a great job. Unfortunately, flooring is where they lost us. they laid LVP on the majority of the house (the only rooms they did not do were the 2 bathrooms and the master bedroom). we have 7 places where the planks have separated across the living room/dining room and hallway.

We hired JG Construction & Painting to paint and perform various handyman projects throughout our house. John and his crew were professional, prompt, courteous and above all, fantastic painters and handymen! I would not hesitate to hire JG Construction for any future painting, etc. again and give this company a 5 star rating. All of our projects were completed in a timely manner and we couldn't be more satisfied. Thank you John Galvin!

John and Rob make a good team. I have previously used them to do work around the house without any dissapointments. They have conquered simple tasks like hanging pictures to pouring concrete along the side of the house. I am pleased with their quality of work and ethic. They have completed a variety of jobs within the past 3 years without any hesitation and I have no complains. My dog, Eva, loves them. John and Rob have become part of this family. Thank you guys!

Given that this was the first job that John and his colleague Rob completed for my family, and we have already requested their services for two other jobs in the weeks since, you may imagine that I cannot recommend John's company highly enough. I had three different quotes for this job, and John's estimate was the most reasonable by far. He had to work within a lot of constraints of the situation due to us having a five day window between two closing dates (the home bought, then the home sold), and an additional few days before most furniture was delivered. There was the additional limitation that he could only see the home once before its closing date, giving me the initial quote via the MLS data and my descriptions. He made an intelligent plan of work, room by room, level by level, with all popcorn removal finished before any painting, with the upper level (bedrooms) totally completed before our closing day, and the main level then completed before the furniture arrived. His plan also allowed me to postpone decisions on some parts of the home about whose colors I had some initial uncertainty. And, he stuck with the plan so well that the whole work was completed in six days. The result is beautiful. In addition to the excellent work, I want to emphasize that John is great with the following: keeping within time constraints, flexibility, and understanding what the client wants.

That went just fine. The man did a good job and did some other work for us. We had him do some work in a house we own. We were very pleased with his work. The price he told me was because it was a slow time for him, in fact, he did it the day after we initially talked. I put it out there and he called me back in like 2 hours and was over here the next morning. We have been very pleased overall. We did use him again.

If you feet you have a difficult or odd job that you think cannot be done, don't sweat it, call John. He is a honest professional, sure he is not cheap but you get what you pay for, someone that knows what he is doing and not afraid to take on a challenge. He came out to look at the job, took measurements, then texted me with a quote. I agreed to the amount and I mailed him a check as a deposit for supplies. He kept me informed of when he had ordered the glass. Once glass arrived we set up a date for him to come out to do the job. He took care of my "honey do list" that my husband kept postponing, I told him he saved a marriage. Let me tell you in this day in age a trustworthy worker that does not need babysitting is worth their weight in gold. I was impressed with his carpentry talent and how smoothly and stress free everything went. Thank you John and Scott; Eva, my dog, is looking forward to seeing you guys on our next project.

John Galvin responded to my inquiry in less than a day, and was able to schedule the work. On the assigned day, John and his assistant showed up promptly and started on the list of projects. They worked hard and had to endure extreme heat for the work being done in the garage. You can count on John to do a quality job at a very reasonable price. I have used his services on previous projects and would not hesitate to do so again.
Description of Work: Installed some garage hardware, installed additional electrical outlets, and assembled a patio bench and a shelf unit.

He was able to accomplish everything with minimal need for phone calls or visits to the house by me. He was persistent in looking for reasonable priced solutions to problems; like finding a $300 fire door when original quote was around $1000 . He had to source replacement parts for 45 year old windows and deal with other older house headaches. County inspector signed off with no problems. Buyer had 1-2 little things that required a second visit. I attribute that to vagueness in punch list descriptions vs John's error. He saved me and my sister a lot of headaches.
Description of Work: This was in conjunction with sale of an estate home. John had a list of 8-10 items from County inspector and 8-10 items from buyer's inspector to get done in about 2 weeks.

John came up with a clean design for the false ceiling beams. The crown molding was installed cleanly on walls that were not really true. He took the initiative to run down some water intrusion issues and sealed cracks in the outside siding. He patched damaged window well areas. John and his assistant were easy to work with.

John did a very nice job with the painting and crown molding. The crown molding really sets off the bathrooms and the job was made more difficult since the walls were not true. He was very responsive and easy to work with. I felt like I could trust him. He installed a new vanity. He wasn't as experienced with the floor and wall tile so the tiling heights are more varied than I was hoping for. Overall still positive though.

We will be asking him back. I have already recommended him to a family member. Wish I had time to write more details of what he did and how well.
Description of Work: The list of things that were done are extensive. The biggest point I want to make is that John was a problem solver and fixer. We wanted a microwave above the range, Home Depot said we couldn't do it...John KNEW exactly what to do, and did it perfectly. He has great ideas, professional, does great work...everything I could ask for. He replaced rotten wood in bathroom floor, and laid a new floating floor, repaired interior drywall around sky lights (sun/temp damage over many years), electrical, drywall repairs, ceiling fans, and a great job painting the interior.

John and his assistant Scott showed up exactly when scheduled. They are skilled in numerous types of handyman jobs and did a professional job with these installations. I had previously used them to install a living room baseboard and put up drywall to cover insulation in the utility room. Would recommend this company for handyman type chores.
Description of Work: Installed 2 ceiling light fixtures in garage. Also installed 3 ceiling fixtures in basement utility room. This required running some electrical cable into a part of the room where there was no existing outlet. Also installed new bath shower faucet and fixtures and new bath towel racks.
