Favorable Changes

unknown

Jimmy has done a variety of small jobs for us. His most recent job was to replace an outside door in the basement. It turned out to be a tough job because the door frame was rotted and not square. He was determined to do a good job and he did. He is very knowledgeable about home construction.

They did very good work

ARrived on time, respectful, began work after asking many necessary questions, very professional. Excellent craftsman design - picked up and cleaned up everything each day.

Jim arrived on time. He was very conscientious about his work. He took the time to call the product manufacturer to get their recommendations on preserving the wood.

Jim responded immediately to my initial phone inquiry. He took the time for an initial visit to review the work that we needed and answer several of our questions that were generated by observations made by the house inspection report which was performed prior to purchase of the house in June. Jim always kept us informed when he was coming to work and he was always on time. He took the time to explain what he was going to do and give us options. His suggestions for the kind of pet doors were excellent. It became evident after watching Jim work and seeing the quality of his work that he was a proficient and skilled craftsman. We will keep his contact information handy for our next project and a future bath remodel.

I had contacted James Pohl of Favorable Changes because I had found him on Angie's List. This initial phone call was made last week. He called back very quickly to let me know that his schedule was quite packed but was confident that he would check in again within a week to let me know how his schedule looked and if still too full, he would provide me with names and numbers of other trusted providers. I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call on a Saturday (Memorial Day weekend, no less!) from him letting me know that he is indeed booked through August but he took the time and energy to give me references to two other providers whose work meets his high standards. He did not owe me anything but he kept his word, called back when he said he would and was so helpful in the process. Who would not be impressed by this? The fact that he is booked until some time in August says a great deal about the quality of work he does. He absolutely could not fit me into his schedule but I so appreciate that he let me know that and then gave me names and numbers of other providers so that I would not be in a bind. I did not have the opportunity to use his services but I think very highly of his communication (prompt and quite impressive with the follow-through), professionalism and integrity.

It went well--Jimmy is very thorough and professional and will go the extra mile.

Jim was dependable, widely experienced, recommended by satisfied neighbors, a pleasure to work with, shared each step necessary with us.

It went very well--Jimmy is a meticulous worker and the results are very satisfactory

As stated above, great job.

We noticed a card in a local restaurant for and quot;Favorable Changesand quot; and I gave Mr Pohl a call. I spoke to him regarding a small job we needed help with which was installing a ledger on the back side of my house that would support a flat roof for a screened-in porch on my deck. My partner an I had some experience with small DIY stuff like building stone garden walls and building pre-fab sheds, fence building and the like. We decided to go with Jim as he was very open to letting us help with the job and learn! With an experienced person to keep us from making newbie mistakes we were confident after the job was complete that we could finish it up alone. From start to finish the job went smoothly and professionally. Jim was paid on an hourly rate and he told us that to save money we could get the materials so that he wasn't tied up buying stuff instead of doing actual work that required his expertise. Anyone can shop if they have a list right? So we shopped all the stuff ahead and it was there when he arrived to start work. We saved money and learned a lot. A + Jim. We will be calling Jim again on the next project.

We saved money by contracting with Jim Pohl. His carpentry skills are incredible, and he analyzes the problem before suggesting a solution. He is ethical, fun to talk with, and does a tremendously good job. Highly recommended!!

It went very well over all--he had some other things he had to do, so it was not continuous, but he showed up on time and got everything done when he said he would. He was easy to work with and listened to all my ideas and changes. He brought help in when he needed it to get the moulding installed, and they were easy to work with also. It was a good experience, the work was very well done, and we are very pleased with the results.
