Things went smoothly and quickly. Ben and Ian were very polite and efficient. Ben was annonyed with a door latch that was cranky and took a few minutes to fix it! I am definitely calling golden hands for my deck repairs. (The truck dog, Grover, was a good guy too.) Amj

They did a good job. The price is a little high but it was okay. I realized that they did a big work. I was pleased with their job. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I do have contacted them for the job. They replaced a major window not only window but all different window outside the house. It was a major work.

Chris came to the house and we went over the general scope of the job. He said they were interested in doing the work and that the type of work was right in line with what Golden Hands does. He told me they were in the midst of the building season and that they would not be able to start on the work until Fall. I was fine with that and understood. I asked him to provide a budgetary quote. He said he would. I followed up with Chris in a couple of weeks to see where he was at. He told me he was working on estimate and would have it to me the week of June 10th. I have never heard back from him.
Description of Work: Contacted Chris Staubaum about performing remodeling on our home and adding a screened in porch. Remodeling included installing ~ 800 sq ft of hardwood, replacing floor mounted kitchen cabinets, building a wall between two rooms, installing French doors, relocating a window and adding on a 12 x 20 enclosed porch.

My note on this file ( which I still have ) says, " Did not call back" Contractors get busy and we have to prioritize work. An extra call will make a difference when the demand for services is up, as thankfully it has been for us this season. Maybe it went to voicemail or maybe it would have taken still another call to close the deal. I am sorry this happened. I hope the project worked out OK. Chris Sturbaum

Chris and his crew (led by his carpenter, Eric) were very punctual, knowledgeable, and honest. Chris even communicated well with me while he was on vacation after estimating the project. After installing the new door, we've had a lot of rain and the leaks seem to be totally gone.
Description of Work: A few months back, we pulled up the carpet in our living room, preparing to replace it with a wood floor. After pulling it up, we found the sub-floor rotten by our back door. The flooring company recommended Chris at Golden Hands to repair the floor and install a new back door. Chris came out, diagnosed the problem, and gave us an estimate on a new door and new sub-floor to replace the rotten stuff. His estimate was pretty accurate and most of the cost came from the door itself (we found that there are few in-between atrium doors out there, so we sprung for a pretty nice one that won't leak again). His crew repaired the rotten floor, put up flashing under the vinyl siding, installed the new door, and installed trim.

We had an old greenhouse that was almost falling down from rot, and it was built on an old redwood deck that was also in sad shape. We went through about 5 bidders, spending hours with them explaining what we wanted. We'd wait, and wait, and finally after nagging them we'd sometimes get an estimate. It seemed no one wanted to take this project on - and I had thought contractors were looking for work! We kept getting estimates that were for things we didn't ask for - like a sunroom that bore no resemblance to a greenhouse, or an all-redwood deck when we had clearly said NO REDWOOD - just pressure treated wood. The estimate for just the (small) deck and stairs was $25,000 with redwood. Finally, we had Chris Sturbaum come out. What a relief! He actually listened, asked the right questions, and gave us an estimate that he admitted was rough because there were a lot of unknowns - like how much of the old materials could be re-used. But it was a reasonable estimate and described exactly what we wanted.They started on time, they did great work, and they finished in a reasonable amount of time. If you are looking for something different, Golden Hands Construction can handle it. They are real craftsmen.
Description of Work: Rebuilt deck and stairs and greenhouse.

The company was unresponsive and unapologetic
Description of Work: We called this company about an estimate on a bathroom remodel, after a recommendation from a plumber who works with them. My husband made an appointment with them for an estimate, and they failed to show up. The next day, the owner called to apologize, and we rescheduled the appointment. Again, he did not show up, and this time no phone call. This experience told us all we needed to know. We will never call them again, and have since scheduled the work with another man on recommendation from a friend.

I am really sorry about this. I was actually too embarrassed when we forgot the second appointment. I should have called again. We were busy and just forgot. I am sorry! It was not intentional. Chris Sturbaum : Owner Golden Hands Construction

Went incredibly well. We had gotten several bids from other contractors and none of them seemed to listen to what we wanted. The bids would come in listing work items that we had specifically said we did NOT want. Finally, we asked Chris for an estimate. He listened, ask good questions, and gave us a reasonable bid, cautioning that there were a lot of unknowns in how much of the existing greenhouse could be re-used. They started when they said they would, and had a crew of really professional craftsmen working at our house for a month. They had great ideas for how to reuse materials, or change the design to make it more attractive or functional. They created the greenhouse of our dreams! There is no question that this is the contractor we will use for every future house project we have.
Description of Work: Rebuilt a greenhouse on our deck.

We spent $2300 totally which included the cost of the door itself. My experience with them went very well. We have had them perform some jobs here for us in the past. We have always been happy with them. The entire thing took them about two days to complete. They first came to do the original assessment where they had to measure the door and everything. Then they came back the next day and put a new door in. I would use their services in the future too.
Description of Work: Golden Hands Construction put in a sliding glass patio door for us in November of 2010. We had a sliding glass patio door which was getting old. So, they came and replaced it.

Golden Hands Construction did a great job. They gave an estimate after one visit and finished the work within one working day.
