Travis and his wife arrived promptly to give the estimate. The estimate came by email. We discussed the work over the phone and agreed they would start August 27, 2015. Travis and his two workers arrived early, reviewed what they were going to do and got right to work. They covered all the furniture with plastic covers and also covered the floor and areas they walked thru. When they left for they day they informed us they were leaving and what time they would return in the morning. They did a great job!!! We are very pleased with how things turned out and best of all - they finished early! Great Job Travis!!! They were not the cheapest nor were they the highest priced.

Everything was well organized. The workers were punctual and pleasant - and their work was excellent! They absolutely aimed to please (and I'm picky). The condo looks like a different place since they repainted it.
Description of Work: repaired sheet rock and painted a 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo including ceilings, kitchen and dining room
Our house kitchen had water damage and required new flooring, cabinets and drywall. The house was built in 1961 so we took the opportunity to add a built-in microwave, dishwasher and update the outlets. Josh did the structural work and while not a GC, he met with the electrician, plumber, counter top installers, inspectors and appliance delivery people since we could not not be at the residence. Josh was always responsive to our phone calls and emails and provided pictures throughout the process. The work itself was very good - the hardwood floors blended into the existing ones nicely, the drywall work and priming were top notch and the cabinet installation (uppers and lowers including trim) all were level/aligned. He did an outstanding job getting the cabinet molding to intersect with the crown molding. Josh went out of his way to make sure things were not just done but that they were done well and in a way that we approved. Josh was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him.

In a word, another outstanding job. This is my second experience with Josh and his team, and they were just as good now as the first time. Thomas Trades LLC has it all: timeliness, work ethic, professionalism, knowledgeable, friendly, and a fair price for a thorough job. The painting done today looks beautiful, and, as last time, they went way above my expectations. They took down shelves and rehung them and, the best, they moved the washer and dryer to paint the laundry room and reinstalled both before leaving. Hard working and professional crew, and I'm looking forward to working with Thomas Trades LLC again in the near future. Can't recommend them highly enough.
Description of Work: Painting. Completed first half of a two-part plan to paint entire first floor.

Please see above.... Josh Thomas replied to my email immediately, met up with me within a week, and got me on his schedule within 2 weeks. His "crew" arrived on time and were courteous, kind and professional. I will be calling on Thomas Trades again. What a wonderful reco. Thank you!
Description of Work: Josh Thomas and colleagues did exactly what I asked: Took a 10+ year-old deck in the backyard of a house I purchased in 2014 and gave it new life. They power-washed, replaced boards and rails as needed, secured stairs and posts, re-stained/water-proofed and painted where required, made lighting suggestions that are perfect for safety reasons, and totally cleaned up the after-mess.
After having Josh and his team paint all of our interior walls to our complete satisfaction, we contracted with him again to install our flooring. ?I purchased the flooring, and had it delivered to our home. ?After it had acclimated for 7 days, Josh and his installers arrived, on time, to begin. ?The two installers, VJ and Rob were very professional and friendly. ?They also were expert flooring specialists. ?The job took 6 days to complete, as we had 1200 sq ft installed. ?We are very happy with the result, and would not hesitate to hire them again, or recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Installed engineered hardwood flooring.
As a 60-something single woman, I've unfortunately had a variety of negative experiences with people I've hired to help. Such that I'd about given up and had tried to do projects myself. BIG mistake, my work turned out horribly, and I finally turned to angieslist to find help to repair the damage. When I read the great reviews on Thomas Trades LLC, I decided to take one more chance. How do I describe my experience with Thomas Trades? WAY beyond all expectations! Josh contacted me within minutes of my sending a message through angieslist, and an appointment for an estimate was scheduled for the next day. Josh arrived on time, was very courteous and professional, and he exudes such confidence and caring, I knew instantly that I was putting my projects into good hands. I have used others from angieslist and while satisfactory, Josh and his team were so outstanding as to leave the others in the dust! Every person I dealt with was friendly and professional, and it probably sounds funny, but I felt like I was treated how they would treat their own families. I am so happy with the results of the work done; the quality, thoroughness and attention to detail blew me away. I have a two-page list of handyman projects that need to be done for upkeep ("Honey Do" list, if I had a Honey), pressure washing the patio and driveway, and am planning to paint the rest of the interior of my house, and I will definitely be turning to Thomas Trades LLC for everything. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Description of Work: Installed crown molding in bedroom and bath; painted ceilings, walls, closet, doors and trim in bedroom and bath; installed ceiling fan in bedroom.

Everything went extremely well. Josh stayed in touch with me while the doors were being fabricated to keep me up to date on the estimated installation date. He called me when he said he would and scheduled the work to be done. They showed up on time and ready to work. While installing the crown molding they ran into issues with the nails not going into the plaster well. They ended up having to get shorter nails to do the work. Everything came out great and we are very happy with the results.
Description of Work: Our home was built in 1950 and had the original kitchen cabinets. They were still solid but the doors were showing their age. Josh built us new Shaker style cabinet doors and now the kitchen looks like new. He also installed crown molding in two rooms. He had helpers with him and the entire team was polite and professional. The work was done well and looks fabulous.
All work was completed in 2-3 days. ?Very happy with the quality of work performed.
Description of Work: Removed existing flooring and trim, installed new padding and new flooring that we purchased separately. And re-installed existing trim. All work performed by his subcontractors and not him directly.

Thank you (member name removed)for taking time to complete a review for us. Work was preformed by my employees, myself, and two guys I sub out to from time to time when our schedule is full. Yes Ronn and VJ did a great job installing the floors as usual. Feel free to contact them again directly to discuss building the pergolas and replacing your patio door. Take care.
Josh came for an estimate on the job the day after I contacted him. He was very cordial and professional,and I received his estimate the same day. The work was scheduled to begin 2 days later. The painters arrived promptly at 9:00 am, which was the agreed upon time. They covered all of our furniture with plastic and used drop cloths on the floors. They worked quickly and were extremely neat and careful. The work was completed in 4 days, and we could not be happier with the results. We are so pleased with Josh and his team, that we have already contracted with him to install hardwood floors throughout our home.

So far I have nothing but excellent feedback on Josh Thomas and I am certain that the rest of my projects will go smoothly as well.
Description of Work: Thomas Trades is scheduled to install tile and is also in the process of building new kitchen cabinet doors for us. To date he had been extremely responsive and professional. A pleasure to work with.
The project was split into two. First the ceilings and painting which was done by an excellent painter and his assistant. They were very careful, covering and moving furniture, masking off areas of work and cleaning up every day when they were finished. This took two weeks.. The kitchen renovation was done a few weeks later. This renovation was done by Josh Thomas who was wonderful to work with. I gave him a sketch of what I wanted an he made it happen. It took two weeks with coordination of subcontractors and inspectors. Josh was always available for questions throughout the whole project. I had a few little follow ups items and he was prompt in attending to them.
Description of Work: Removed popcorn ceilings throughout the house and painted ceilings. Painted large living/dining, family room and kitchen. Partial renovations of kitchen. He rebuild and installed cabinets to my specs and installed a new glass tile backsplash. Replaced all outdoor lighting with new fixtures. Did a number of small projects, installing shelves, new weather striping etc. He coordinate subcontractors for installation of. Range hood and installing new lighting in garage and other areas.

When he called me he said he doesn't do Brunswick county and has asked that we remove that area from the deal. He was totally professional and even tried to find someone to do the work for me that was in my county. He could not have been nicer about the situation.

What he was providing wasn't really what I needed.
Things went great. ?Josh is great with communication. ?If he was going to be late he always called and I knew what time to expect him to arrive each day. ?He's very honest (this has been something lacking in my previous contractors!) and prices were within range of my other estimates. ?Highly recommend!
Description of Work: Completely remodeled my bathroom. Love it! I couldn't find any vanities I liked so I persuaded Josh to build one for me. Got just what I wanted...lots of storage! They also removed popcorn ceiling from half of my house and painted ceilings and walls. Replaced sliding glass door.

Josh was fantastic. I contacted him to come out and provide an estimate for a deck we wanted built in a "dead space" beside the house. He came as scheduled, discussed what we wanted done, asked questions, made suggestions and provided a quote 3 days later as promised. We agreed to the price and scheduled the work for early November. Josh and his crew showed up as scheduled and did a fantastic job. The work was done on schedule and on budget and we'll definitely use Thomas Trades again. I have Josh doing estimates for 2 more projects we want done. We can't speak highly enough about Josh, his knowledge, his professionalism and of course his skills.
Our house is transformed! Josh and his crew did a wonderful job and gave the place a fresh new look. It was a difficult job with unusual siding on the house that took quite a bit of attention to detail. We had gotten several estimates and what drew us to Thomas Trades was Josh's enthusiasm and positive attitude toward working on our house. Everyone was easy to work with, the hidden damage we anticipated was pointed out and repaired, and the schedule moved along nicely. The house looks great!
Description of Work: Full exterior cleaning and painting: pressure washed, repaired rot, painted trim, and stained siding and deck. Also contracted for gutter and downspout replacement.
Our fireplace mantle was too high to mount the TV above it and allow for comfortable viewing. It needed to be lowered and the wall above needed to match the decor of the rest of the room. Josh was very responsive, looked at the job and gave us an estimate. We were away when the work was done but Josh and Scott (his carpenter) stayed in close contact to keep us updated on the progress. The work was done over a 3 day period. The work site was clean. The end result was excellent. Josh is easy to work with, good to his word, and ensures the job is done to your satisfaction. My wife and I were delighted with the results. We live in Landfall and unfortunately many contractors charge a premium for living here. Josh is very fair in his pricing. Do not hesitate to call Josh and hire him. All you need to do is meet with him once and you will understand.
Mr. and Mrs. (removed member name), It was a pleasure doing business with you. I sincerely appreciate the compliments. We strive for perfection. Hope to hear from you guys soon. Josh Thomas

Josh, his wife, and team were amazing! I emailed Josh when I decided that I wanted my living room and kitchen painted but was not sure about how many painters it would take and if it could be done in one day. Josh quickly responded to my email and made an appointment to come to my home the next day. He told me that he was able to complete the work I wanted with in one day and even said that he could do the trim, touch up the doors, and even patch up the holes in the wall as well which I was not expecting! On the day of the job, Josh and his team were great! They were one time, polite, and professional. I went to work not too long after they started and when I got home it was like they were not even there. The best part of all was my living room and kitchen looked fabulous! Josh even followed up with me the next morning to make sure that everything went smoothly and looked the way that I wanted it to. I cant even begin to say how great Josh, his wife, and team are. They were all so friendly and professional. I will most definitely do business with them again and recommend them to friends and family!

Very good company to work with. Worked with owner got and estimate and set up time for his team to come in and fix problem. Took about a week they fixed ceiling in my bathroom and replaced drywall in ceiling of my laundry room as well as fixed drywall between two rooms. Also repainted entire bathroom and painted both ceilings which looked awesome. Could not be their for some of week but they still came everyday and locked up and also cleaned up everyday also. Would highly recommend and would use again. Put na on price because was not sure about the final price my neighbor paid bill since his unit had caused the damage to my condo. But did have a couple of estimates and they were all about the same but I really liked them the best had the best attitude and seemed to want to do the job. Would highly recommend and would work with again.

Prompt, courteous and honest owner Josh and his wife Kayla. They helped move a heavy bed the evening before. I had a prepaid deal through Angie's list for 6 hrs of work. It went a couple of hrs beyond as one wall needed spackling, smoothing and drying time and only Kayla was available to do the work. She does work fast and they both promptly came back the next day to do some minor touchups I brought to their attention. Their hourly rate is reasonable. Very pleased overall.

Everything went great. After the initial estimate, the owner called back and said he would actually be able to get someone out almost 2 weeks earlier than initially estimated. Both the owner and the employee stayed in contact throughout the whole time. The employee was punctual and was great at keeping me up to date on the project and if there would be any delays for when he would get to the house to work. We just finished the final walkthrough with the owner and the employee and couldn't be happier with the results. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: The owner sent out some guys to do extensive drywall mudding and prep our kitchen remodel (and two other smaller areas) for priming and painting.
