I didn't use their service and their professionalism was horrible. Answered the phone with "huh" like I disturbed his nap and didn't even state the name of his company. When I told him I needed roof repair his response in a rude tone was "I don't do roofs. I'm not insured for that, later." With his conduct, even if he was able to do the job requested, I wouldn't have hired him.

I had a variety of work needed at my rental condo, which is in a different state that I live. Jim was excellent. Very trustworth, fair priced and conscientious. My wife met him only one time and new he was trustworthy. He performed a variety of work for us. What I especially liked is that he took extra care to make sure he communicated with us, Made us aware of issues that came up from time and left our condo in better shape than he found it. Jim was also cost conscious as he did not do anything more than what was needed. He even helped us with deliveries and kept tabs on other contractors. Very easy to work with. He will be a contractor of choice.

Everything was done with Jim's usual expertise and attention to detail. There is nothing he can't handle. He is a pleasure to have in our home and is always very respectful of our needs. He is a good problem solver and has a variety of options for us to choose among for getting things done. He is willing and able to attack any job around the house. He is always very careful of our home, removing his shoes to avoid bringing in dirt and cleaning up really well after every job. He has our highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Jim handled a variety of tasks that we had saved until he was available - indoor and outdoor painting, ceramic tile repair, minor plumbing repairs, wall repairs and touch-up painting, hanging art work, etc.

Response from Coulson Construction Inc
Normally I respond as soon as I get the notification, unless I’m sleeping (12am-8am) or working. I have no recollection of this call made 5 years+ ago. I am not licensed to do plumbing, however, I am always glad to refer someone to a licensed plumber that works in my area. The odd thing is Cary, NC is over a two hour drive each direction. It is roughly one hour beyond my service area, so why was I referred by Angie’s List? More Significantly IMPORTANT, how can someone from outside my area, licensing, and insurance tarnish my hard fought A rating? It is very difficult to achieve but, only takes one “person” to tarnish it, even though I’ve never worked for them. One could compare it to a request for a deck hand on a Bering Sea fishing vessel. Since that is out of my service area and not something I personally do, I might forget to return the call, email, telegraph, smoke signal or what ever was the method of contacting me. Then receive a derogatory rating. Not right.

Description of Work: Jim repaired a water damaged ceiling and installed laminate flooring, baseboards in the guest bedroom. He also put in a tile floor and bead board in the laundry room, along with baseboards, crown molding. Work was excellent, he is quite OCD with the shop vac and keeping a clean work area. Price was also fair, work completed as requested and quickly. Will definitely call on him for future work.

All work was excellent and we are very happy with our ability to communicate with Jim and have him solve our problems.
Description of Work: This is the second time we have worked with Jim Coulson and we have only the highest praise for his work. He took on the project of finding and fixing a leak in our siding that no one could find. We even had contractors turn down the job because it was such a difficult one. Jim applied his experience and patience and finally tracked down the trouble spot. He has repaired the area and taken the extra steps to guard against future leaking problems. This something that the builder of the house did not do despite the fact that our location is on a river and subject to strong wind and rain pounding one side of the house. This work was also difficult because the weather had to cooperate in order for anything to get done. We were delayed by rain and wind, but here’s the good news: when Jim couldn’t work outside he helped us with our “Honey Do” list - Jim knows how to fix EVERYTHING!

Jim arrived on time. He was friendly and professional. He ask appropriate questions about the structure of the ceiling. Which has been refinished with drywall over plaster making it difficult to find the studs. Jim brought in his tools and laid out a drop cloth. He was concerned with keeping his work area clean. He looked at the pot rack and concluded the hooks that were shipped with the pot rack where not long enough to screw into the stud though the drywall and plaster. Jim then went to Lowe's and came back with hooks that were longer and also matched the pot rack. He then found the studs and hung the pot rack. The entire job took less time than expected and under budget.
Description of Work: Hung pot rack from Kitchen ceiling.

First off, I have to say that I am not a novice when it comes to remodeling; my husband and I bought a fixer-upper and have been working on it for the last five years, doing almost everything by ourselves. This master bathroom/walk-in closet was the last room in the house to be redone, and my husband was away and I couldn't do everything on my own. Needless to say, I wanted to do as much work as I could, and Jim was great about that, as weird as it must have sounded to him. I wanted him to do all the stuff that I couldn't (or didn't want to) do, like the sheetrock, the flooring, and of course the structural and electrical work. Jim traveled all the way from New Bern to Jacksonville every day for over a month to do this project, and I know it wasn't easy, but that is just the kind of guy he is. He worked really well with my plumber to get everything accomplished that I wanted, and all the work was done to my satisfaction. There were lots of surprises once the demo was complete, so the price was higher than he originally quoted me, but still within the range of my budget. Jim is a great guy, and was always looking out for me. I have an old house, and the previous work done on this bathroom was atrocious to put it kindly. He put up with all the crazy things we found behind the floors, walls and ceilings (like rotting wood, crazy bad construction, bad plumbing, a vent for the toilet that ran up to the roof through a column in the middle of the bathroom, unbelievable wiring, moldy and damaged subfloor, and more!), and fixed it all, and he even did it with a smile on his face. My bathroom and closet looks a thousand times better than what it used to before he came, and it would have been almost impossible for me to get this work done in any kind of decent time frame without his help. I was way out of my league! That bathroom was a hot mess. He even helped me out by fixing a light switch and installing trim in the guest bathroom that my husband didn't get to do before he left. Again, just a really personable, hardworking guy who loves his job. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Partial remodel of master bathroom and walk-in closet, including: demo of walk-in closet and master bathroom; structural repair to roof joists/rafters; new subfloor, tile and laminate flooring installation; electrical repair and installation of recessed lighting, bathroom fan, and appropriate outlet/lighting boxes; new sheetrock installed and floated; trim cut and installed in guest bathroom and cut for master bathroom.

The work is excellent. We could not be more pleased. Jim is a professional who knows how to handle material, carry out the design, and provide careful and complete work. Jim worked with us all along the way, confirming details of what we wanted. He is very courteous and careful to minimize the impact of having construction carried out indoors, for example he cleans up his work area and tools every day. Jim respects his customer's home! We plan on having Jim do more work for us in the near future.
Description of Work: Jim Coulson installed a ceramic tile floor in a bedroom. The tile looks like wood flooring, so it consists of 24" x 6" tiles. There was a lot of work to prepare the floor correctly and to create the design to look like a wood floor.

The work Mr. Coulson did was very good and I was really pleased with the finished product. It took a couple of appointments for him to get to my home to do the estmate and then the first date set for doing the work had to be rescheduled because of a family emergency. Which I know can happen to anyone.

This man is a real handyman. There was nothing that I asked him that he could not do. This is the 4th time I have had him here. I cannot tell you the exact dates of service but it was in 2011 and 2012. The last time I had him was aug. 30, 2012. He is extremely neat. Has all of the equipment to keep dust out of the rest of the house while he is working and each day, he cleans up his mess before he leaves. He also did some yard work for me when he was not busy with other jobs. I would surely hire him again. He removed some heavy logs for me from the hurricane, also.
Description of Work: Jim removed and old brick pump house and removed all of the debris. He repaired dry rot on my detached garage and repaired some hurricane damage. He reinforced an old outside stairway. Fixed some planking on my deck. Fixed dry rot in one of my windows. Replaced kitchen and entry floor with ceramic tile. Replaced planks in a hardwood floor that were imperfect. Changed out two toilets and faucets. Fixed 3 leaks in my roof. Touched up painting interior. Painted my outside shutters. Removed logs after the hurricane

He gave us a fair estimate for pressure washing our entire front porch and house. Also we were given an approximate time frame to do the job in which time he completed exactly as he predicted. We would definetly recommend him for anyone interested in his various services and would consider using him again for more work.
