Description of Work: This was the second time I attempted to contact this contractor. I have seen his work, since he lives in my neighborhood. On both occasions, I called him multiple times, but never received a return call. I was extremely disappointed that I did receive a return call (a call to say he was too busy to do my job would have at least shown some respect). I will not attempt to contact him again |

Josh was the perfect fit for us. The house needed a lot of work - and we wanted it to be a show piece. My wife's concept was unusual - and Josh seemed to have every answer (or knew someone who did) to help make it happen. The challenge with our house was to repair many years of neglect without completely replacing the siding. By replacing the siding on one side of the house, then salvaging good boards to reuse elsewhere, we were able to significantly cut the cost of replacing all of the siding. Then, by cleaning and whitening the boards, we were able to use lighter colored semi-transparent stains which really look great. The stain scheme is unusual and intricate (5 colors) and the result is fantastic. I buy things for a living - and really appreciate people who are open to new ideas and don't view the customer as an idiot. Josh had great ideas for solving the problems we ran into - and his prices were reasonable and rational. When I initially quoted the job, I ran into two types of contractors: Those who gave me the "Angie's List treatment" - assuring me everything would be fantastic - but for an enormous cost - or the low ball guys who had a great price - but clearly had little concern for the results. Josh had a balanced approach of setting a reasonable cost for the elements that could be predicted and a rationale cost structure for how problems would be addressed. It worked well - and when new issues came up - Josh had reasonable and cost effective ways to respond. We could not be happier with the results.
Description of Work: We have a large cedar sided home which was neglected for many years. Josh and his crew replaced about a quarter of our siding and stained the house. He also replaced a door.
