I hate being ignored.
Description of Work: I called, left voice mail for meeting to look at kitchen/bedroom remodel. My call was returned, I was asked to send him an email with the information and he would get back to schedule the initial visit. I sent the email on 7/29- never heard back. If they business owner doesn't have enough courtesy to return phone calls/emails, makes me wonder what else they lack. Don't think I would trust them.

Response from JD Holm & Sons
This review has made me take an inventory of "what do we lack" and how can we improve in our weaknesses. Donna has hit the nail on the head. We are a family business which by its very nature limits us. I find that we lose out on possible work because we are an eleven person company and it would seem that at times we could use double that amount. I know that as leader and manager I must invest time with our clients and our workers to be certain that we are on track in current projects and keep an eye on the ball for the upcoming work. I have checked this past week and I see that we have had over a dozen leads from Angie's List, the BBB and our phone logs, couple this with the calls and emails from active clients, vendors and other business communications and this explains why I am addressing this review on a Saturday morning of what should be a long weekend. Donna, I am sorry that I failed to follow up with you. I suspect your project and our company would have been a good fit. The simple truth is you contacted us in our peak season and I lost you in the heat of the moment. Thank you for your honesty it will not be ignored. We are approached by third parties who can provide banks of answered phones, we could follow some contractors by sending out commissioned sales people, hire more workers by lowering our standards and even subcontract out work but this is not how for three generations we have served our clients. My name is on the door, it is for that reason that we continue care with passion and it is for that reason that your comment has weighed on my mind for these couple of weeks. Respectfully, Jay Holm G.M. J.D. HOLM & Sons

Jay and his men are perfectionists. They are honest. They care about the quality of their work and the satisfaction of their customers. They are extremely punctual and they are men of their words. They are a family business built on integrity. They are neat and organized. They take down and put back everything when they paint, including rehanging pictures. They even offered to install new light fixtures for free if I wanted to change them. Jay has wonderful taste and a great eye for design, and is practical too. Their carpentry work is excellent, too. We have used them for many projects over the last 20 years. Sometimes their bills are high because they do things so carefully and don't take shortcuts but they are very fair and stay very close or even with their estimates. They also excel at difficult problems that others have failed to remedy. I can't say enough good about them. We also had them sand and recoat 2 very large decks with intricate railings and we had never found someone before to get the finish to last more than a year. This is year 3 and it's still looking good. They are the best!
Description of Work: Jay and his crew replaced a great number of windows at our home and removed wallpaper from a 2 story foyer, hallway, and back stairwell, and vestibule. They also repainted, including ceilings, trim, and repainted trim and ceilings and walls in a master bedroom suite They installed a pocket door, replaced damaged drywall from a roof leak and did several ceiling repairs from water damage. They also made doors for a built in bookcase to enhance the custom look with adding very little to the cost.

We had a slow start due to the insurance company dragging their feet. Jay helped us negotiate a fair settlement with them and stayed in constant contact as we waited through the long winter and wet spring. When the weather finally broke they came promptly and the work was done in about a weeks time. All his employees were friendly and polite. They were patient and kind to my curios kids and dog. They took meticulous care to clean up everyday. Other's have commented on the cost of their service but you get what you pay for and while it was at the max end of our budget we're thrilled with the results and service of JD Holm & Sons.
Description of Work: We had considerable damage to our home from a fallen tree. They repaired a bowing wall, broken support beams, holes in the roof and reroofed the entire house and garage.

It went perfectly. They started work on a Monday, when they arrived there were about 5 or 6 there ready to work. I wondered how they all would fit, as I have a small house. But they all had their jobs to do and got right to work. Each day when I came home from work they were gone and they never left a mess, they cleaned up before they left. The last day they came back just to be sure everything was done to their liking and to mine. I love my new kitchen.
Description of Work: They did a complete remodel of my kitchen. The only thing kept was the stove and refrigerator. Old cabinets were removed and replaced with new ones, wallpaper was removed and walls painted, new floor put down, new light fixtures, new microwave over the stove below a new cabinet with a fan.Lots of little things you don't think about were done, replaced light switches, new floor vent. Love my new kitchen.

Our family was relocating from out of state and had only three weeks to have a variety of updates done to our home before we moved in. JD Holm & Sons were able to meet with us when we were in town for one day for the closing, provided prompt quotes thereafter and were able to fit us into an already full schedule in order to have everything done before we moved in. Their attention to detail and quality of work is impeccable. Not a stray spot of paint to be found! I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for meticulous professionals to complete his or her home renovations.
Description of Work: Removed wallpaper in kitchen and back hallway, painted all walls and trim in kitchen and back hallway, and painted walls in family room, study, upper hallway (one wall), and one bedroom.

We in fact did have a meeting scheduled . Prior to our meeting I telephoned the member to confirm and he had forgotten our meeting and was in an Airport hundreds of miles away from South Bend. I recall that we left it that he would contact us later.

These guys were on time, completely professional, and most importantly, NICE TO MY PETS. They were very efficient, didn't even need to tape anything. They repaired flaws they found before they painted. Their supervisor called to check on them, and then came over when the job was complete. He even painted over a spot on one wall in the kitchen. They were a little pricey, but worth every cent, and I will absolutely call them again for painting, as well as other contracting. Very, very satisfied, and I have already recommended them.

Everyone was very professional, always on time, was respectful of my home and cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't be happier with the entire remodel. In the future, I will only use J.D. Holm for anything I have done in my home.
Description of Work: Remodeled guest bathroom. Contractor demolished down to the studs. Jay then coordinated the installation of a whirpool tub, new heated flooring, faux wall treatment, all new cabinets, lights and TV. We ran into some unanticipated problems but Jay was always able to come up with a good solution. I asked for some other smaller projects to be done while they were here and they were able to work them in. Jay even suggested refinishing a mirror I already had but didn't plan on using. After he refinished it, it worked beautifully and I didn't have to buy a new mirror.

In each case, Jay and I sat down and discussed what I wanted to achieve. He then visited again with ideas and materials samples, particularly possibilities for tile. Once I picked out the tiles and flooring, he took a deposit, placed orders, and set a tentative schedule for beginning, which we revised somewhat as it got closer to beginning. I moved out with my cat for the early parts of the job (a few days for the hall bath, longer for the bath off my bedroom). Jay kept me informed on a regular basis (often daily) about when the men would arrive in the morning and what they'd be doing that day. On the first bath, he also accompanied me to Lowes and elsewhere to pick out hardware. On the second, he had a good idea of what I liked and mostly brought things in for my approval (or refusal). I scoured wallpaper books both times and then consulted with Jay about the final choices. The first bath took 3 weeks and a day, almost exactly what he predicted. The second took about four weeks, with most of the work completed in three. The guys kept the rest of the house as clean as they could, though a fair amount of dust was unavoidable. During the construction, there was one minor accident, a leak into the basement recreation room, which caused the man involved a lot more angst than it did me. When the job was finished, the repair was so perfect you'd never have known anything had happened. These were the fourth and fifth jobs Jay Holm has done for me over the years, and I remain a huge fan.
Description of Work: Completely remodeled two bathrooms, one in 2009, the other this spring. There had been virtually nothing done to either bath since the house was built in 1953, so they took everything out down to the studs, redid plumbing and electrical as needed. The original construction used wire-embedded concrete and plaster, with a great deal of tile, so the tear-out was major work. Jay worked with me to modernize the bathrooms while preserving styles appropriate to the house's vintage. He also met my particular needs, e.g., to keep as much storage space as possible, and found solutions to problems, e.g., that tubs of the style being replaced are no longer manufactured. Both bathrooms are now beautiful, stylish, and functional. Jay and his men are wonderful to work with! It's like having brothers helping you (nice brothers, not annoying ones). The price was more than I'd wanted, but I know that Jay did everything in his power to keep it as low as possible, and so I've rated them excellent on this, too.

Overall Jay and his crew did an EXCELLENT job! Painters were extremely professional, precise in their work and easy to work with. Carpenter is a master at all he does. Crew is hard working, relliable and honest. The projects were cleaned up at the end of the day. Staging area was always tidy. The many projects were brought in on time and on budget. Jay had many expert, creative ideas for remodeling and even presented the bathroom remodel on a story board. Jay, the painters, the carpenter and the crew went above and beyond our highest expectations! We are looking forward to using J D Holm and Sons for other projects in our home.

Gutted bathroom down to the studs and then installed new tub, tiled shower, ceramic tile floor, 2 new sinks, counter top, toilet, lights and fans.

The men were always on time, energetic, and careful. The trucks carried away dead trees and brought well-shaped new evergreens (Jay selects nurseries with the reputations for carrying sturdy stock), and no matter how many branches and debris they hauled away, or how much dirt and mulch they delivered, they left the street clean every single day. Much to my surprise, Jay discovered that a large boulder previously almost hidden could be a striking feature if set upright. He added a small new redwood tree a few feet from the boulder, and created a curving line of evergreens with quite a graceful focus at the end.
Description of Work: The men carefully removed six dead evergreens, one large old redbud tree and its root, half a pear tree, and a huge smokebush. To save money, Jay suggested the transplanting of a few evergreens from one part of the yard to another. Then, with my complete agreement, Jay selected healthy replacement evergreens of several varieties (cedar, arbor vitae, spruce, juniper, hemlock) creating a green barrier to the ugliness of two adjacent yards. Many buckets of dirt, followed by edging and mulch gave the front and back yards the elevation and perfect aesthetic appearance I value so much. Jay Holm has the sure touch of a master landscape gardener; he solves problems imaginatively as they arise and explains his plans to the careful, hard-working crew. They all work together with professional attention to details. Jay asks for clients' suggestions and adds his own to complement them. I had a few ideas, but the best ones were his. At last, our yard and garden look natural, colorful, trimmed and well planned. I could not be happier!

Jay Holm patiently helped me select the right color and even added a day of work when a second coat was necessary to achieve the shade I desired. The painters were precise, well prepared, quietly friendly, thorough, and very careful. I found the walls and all trim beautiful and they left the room very clean and the windows sparkling. Jay returned to inspect the work, hang the drapes, and make sure I was completely satisfied. I certainly was!
Description of Work: The painters moved the furniture to the center of the room, emptied the bookshelves, and covered everything with clean cloths and plastic sheeting so no stray paint would mar wood or books. Before they began painting, they cleaned or dusted all surfaces of the ceiling, walls, doors, interior closets, and baseboards. They painted skillfully, never missing an area, and left everything, even the far corners of the closets, perfect.

Taking into account variations in the 3 proposals I got, Jay's was in the middle. Main difference from other proposals, though, was his insight into what really needed to be done to deal with my concerns. For example, I'd planned to get high-end counters and leave the kitchen floor alone. Jay recognized that the floor color was the main problem with the space, and proposed that I go with good quality laminate counters (more appropriate to house's vintage) and put the savings into a new floor. It's amazing what a difference that made to the whole look of the room. He worked with me to pick the right paint colors and to make decisions about other aspects of the projects throughout the house (sometimes doing less than planned, sometimes more). He listens well and has a terrific eye for color, design and detail. His crews are friendly, meticulous and invariably on time. Jay is also uncommonly available to help in an emergency (like when my toilet sprung a leak) or to give advice when asked.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen floor and counters, painted almost all interior rooms, added or replaced moldings, replaced foyer floor, refinished exterior door, other associated work.
