James came to our house the day that I called to give us a quote on replacing a side door in our Garage. We needed the door taken down and replaced with a new one that would also need to be painted. When James was leaving he asked for my husbands email so that he could email the quote. We never heard from him so I guess the job was just too small for him to do Update to this review. James contacted me after he read this review. Apparently there was a miscommunication with my email. He sent me the original estimate that he sent on April 8th. After going through my inbox it was not there but it could have been my carriers fault as we had a few issues lately with them. James sent me a very nice email with a very good estimate for the work that we wanted done. We have already contracted with someone else but I would contact James again in the future if we need any more work. He handled this very professionally.

Jim did a great job patching a crack on our drywall due to the house settling. His detail to his work, his efficiency, his professionalism in cleaning around the area he worked in, providing me helpful tips in painting the patched area, and very competitive rates are several reasons why we will continue to use him for any future jobs and/or issues with our home.

James Benson was especially conscientious to do a good job, squaring up and strengthening the existing frame, and repairing its defects. He could have simply installed the new door, but he took extra time and care to do a good job.

He arrived when he said he would, ran into trouble with the hose I had purchased and went back to the store to get the right one. He went out of his way to super secure it now I feel comfortable running the washing machine and not fearing a flood.

I had a bathroom that had been gutted and a tub installed by a previous person. Only 2 rows of tile had been complete and the previous person never came back. I found B & A Home Remodeling and James Benson came for a quote. He empathized with the position I was in. His quote was reasonable. He tiled the walls of tub, the floor, put in the baseboard, re-installed my sink, put in a new toilet and some fixtures. His tile work was excellent. He is very professional and always called ahead to confirm when he would be here. I plan on hiring him for additional work. I highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable in the work he performs.

James started working for me last August when I purchased a house that was just a mess. He came and helped me design a new kitchen which totally changed the original lay out of the current kitchen. He installed a new hardwood floor thoughout the kitchen/living area, installed a gas stove (was electric before), installed new cabinets, new counters, tiled the backsplash, lighting, electrical work, dishwashers, new plumbing for new sink and garbage disposal, The original kitchen had the soffits still in place and he removed the soffits and drywalled and painted the area. James was always on time, very professional, and did great work, he always consulted with me and gave recommendations as to the best way to proceed keeping budget in mind. My kitchen looks fantastic, couldn't be happier!! James also build a hearth for my fireplace, did a great job of matching old slate tile in the entryway after the removal of a half wall and column. He also was able topatch to match and exisiting wood floor in the corner where the half wall had been before. Since then James has been back a few times, he replaced some broken pipes due to the freeze this winter. This was a busy time for all contractors but even though he was busy he still fit me in and fixed my issues. He has also been out and worked on a leaky roof, and cleaned out gutters. It seems no job is too big or small and I would recommend him to anyone. I just got my house reappraised last week and for the money I have invested in the house I have seen double the return in appraised value.
Description of Work: James over the last few months had completed many projects for me including remodeling my kitchen (complete new kitchen), drywall work, painting, electrical, plumbing, installing new hardwood floors, build a hearth, baseboards, tile work, cleaning gutters, frozen pipes, leaking roof.

The job went very well. James showed up when he said that he would and he was very neat and tidy. I had some other minor stuff around the house that needed fixing and James went ahead and did those jobs without charging me extra.
Description of Work: I had a shower stall where the tile had come off the walls and there was water damage where the wall met the pan. James tore out the old tile and drywall, put in new walls and retiled the shower stall. He also fixed a couple of other things around my house.

James was very professional and did an excellent job. We have an older home, and of course ran into problems replacing some of the cabinet doors. He worked to adjust the cabinet for the doors to fit properly, and it looks fantastic. He communicated well with me throughout the project, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The new cabinet doors look exactly like the other cabinet doors we were trying to match, and the new cabinet looks the same as well. This wasn't an easy task as he was trying to match cabinet doors from the 1920's. Our kitchen looks complete now. Would definitely use B&A again in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen cabinet doors, added a new cabinet and countertop to a small area, and cut a valance.

He showed up on time for the appointment. We talked about what work we needed done and then right on the spot he gave us an estimate. Just to replace 3 boards he gave us a quote of $2,500.00. We think that the estimate pricing was way too high for something that was about 2.5 times more than other estimates we have gotten.
Description of Work: We wanted them to replace about 3 boards of the outside wall of our home.

i gave an estimate on removal of gutters and repairing damaged wood and the cost of the wood was about 200.00 and reinstalling gutters and painting the wood with a enamel based paint for rot prevention then painting to match house. i was also quoting in all the patching of holes around the house from wood boring bees it was a two level house so it was a lot of high work. and also replacing the drain spout that was damaged and painting it to match the house. and there was a lot of spots that someone tried to paint but used the wrong color i was going to touch up the whole house since i was there painting. my quote was right for all the work i was going to do. i hope that you did not choose cost over quality of work you are my first bad review .

They were fine. He is over priced. For the custom stuff it is good but for the basic remodeling it is too high.For design work he does an excellent job. Make sure you get a written quote from him. He showed up on time but sometimes the days were wrong.

We called James this past Friday with a few odd jobs we needed completed. He was able to come out within a half hour or so of when we spoke... very responsive. Our main concern was a kitchen faucet that needed replaced, but we also had him quote some other odd jobs. James was friendly, personable and did the job for a fair price. He also was careful to see that the sink didn't leak and he cleaned up well after himself. All in all, it was a very positive experience! Thanks to James for a job well done!!!
Description of Work: He installed a new kitchen faucet and removed our old one. He also quoted a few other jobs for us, which we may ask for him to do at a later time.

Understand when you purchase this that this is not a guarantee that you will get a whole day's work for the purchase price. I showed him what I was looking to have done and said he should just do as much as he could get done in the 8 hours. Instead, the handyman said that wasn't how it worked and instead gave me a quote for the 5 things I wanted to have done - which he said should be able to be finished in 2 days - that totaled over $1100. He did say he thought Angie's List might be able to give me a refund, but I never pursued that. I also couldn't afford the additional expenses he quoted over the initial purchase price, so I never called him back, and he never followed up with me either or offered to refund the amount himself, even though he had gotten paid by Angie's List.
Description of Work: No services were performed because the actual price when he came to my apartment and I showed him what I wanted to have done tripled. He did say I might be able to get a refund from Angie's List, but didn't offer to pursue a refund on my behalf or offer to give it to me even though he acknowledged that Angie's List had already paid him. Also, when I originally called him, he returned my call and said he was out of town on family business for a couple of weeks. I did not need immediate service, so offered to wait until he returned to town and was available. He never called back, and in fact I had to call him more than 3 weeks later to get him to follow up.

She called me to get an estimate, and I told her I was out of town for family business. I stated that she might want to hire some one else, and to get a refund for the coupon she ordered, since I did not know when I was getting back into town. She told me that she would wait for me to return to the area. Upon my arrival to town I went at my earliest convenience to her home. I went to this customers home to see what she had to be remodeled, we discussed the removal of walk-in closet, laundry room, utility room, and entry way shelving, and replacing it with closet maid type shelving that would go to a 9 foot ceiling height for storage. She also requested the installation of a ceiling fan and electrical work, as well as the installation of 3 tv wall mounts. I explained to her i could not do all this in an 8 hour time frame but I could give her an estimate for the whole job would cost and deduct what she had paid for through Angies list. Since she had to clear out these spaces to allow me access before I could start, I left under the impression that she would call when ready. I am not into high pressure sales or forcing some one to choose B&A for their remodels. The total job was estimated at 1310.00 minus the down payment through Angies list of 358.38 the remaining amount of 951.62 for materials and labor for two employees to do this job was more than fair, and that price was not the final bill it could have been lower. the reason the for the price difference is the coupon is 20% off the hourly rate and no materials or out of pocket cost and for one worker only. I work hard to keep an A rating with my customers. And this is the first attempt to resolve this issue since June 21 2012 This member was refunded her Big Deal purchase.
James is quite neat, cleaned up his work refuse. Experienced carpenter, respectful.
Description of Work: Painted dining room two coats; trimmed repaired guttering to stop leak. Removed scraped and painted screen door and replaced old scrum, then replaced door. "note" dining room painting/gutter repair/screen door painted.

I needed new floor covering and a new vanity installed in one of our bathrooms. I called B&A Home Remodeling, James Benson came to our home, We explained what we needed and he started the next morning. Jim took the vanity out and the old floor, and also he did some unexpected plumbing for the new vanity, Removed the toilet and molding from the bath room to lay the new flooring He also installed the new medicine cabinet. Jim installed new molding, the new vanity and reinstalled the toilet. This is an old house and he went above and beyond what we expected.. We would recommend this company to anyone.

James came over the week before Christmas to give me some estimates for work we wanted to get done before we list our house for sale. He was very honest and recommended several different things to save us money. I called him on New Year's Eve to see when he would be able to come and do the work. He said he would be available right after the holiday, so we decided on today. He arrived right on time and he got straight to work. He was very efficient and had everything done within 3 hours. This was even after we figured out the door he was repairing needed some extra work and making a trip to the hardware store. I would definitely hire him again!
