Home Improvements and Repairs by: John

John did a great job. From start to finish, he was very focused. He kept me appraised of everything that was going on, and consulted with me whenever a problem came up. I picked out many of the fixtures and tiles, but he was able to make good suggestions for things that I didn't know about, like what type of toilet and bathtub to get. He even noticed that I had a broken floorboard in the kitchen, and went ahead and replaced it - no charge. He's also fun to talk to. I would certainly hire him again.

We were very pleased with the high quality of John's work from beginning to completion of the renovation of our master bathroom. He is very professional and reliable in every aspect of his work. We are delighted with our newly renovated master bathroom! John prepared a clear and detailed contract which he drew up based on what we wanted in our new bathroom. This contract included the work to be done as well as the cost of each aspect of the project. We knew from the start exactly what we were paying for; we paid for the project in four installments. Our renovation was worth every penny we paid for it! John was easy to talk with and a good collaborator. We felt comfortable having him in our home. John had spoken with us about his extensive background and experience in interior design and building so we trusted his suggested choices regarding color for tiles, vanity, paint, etc.. He brought us samples of shower tile, floor tile and wall paint to choose from. This saved us a lot of time and we were not disappointed! It became clear to us that renovating our master bathroom wasn't just a job for John; it was a work of art. He's obviously proud of his work and rightly so! We're amazed at John's skill and expertise in so many crafts: carpentry, plumbing, electrical, tiling and painting. We really appreciated the way John worked; he was meticulous, efficient, hard-working and very neat. For example, he used our garage as a work area for cutting and sawing; at the end of the project he cleaned up so well that our garage has never been cleaner! Using the garage, as well as outdoors when weather permitted, kept the dust in the house to a minimum. John finished the renovation of our master bathroom in the estimated time and within budget. We couldn't be happier with the final results! We feel so fortunate to have found John Gasparro on Angie's List. We highly recommend John for any bathroom renovation you may be planning!

After some confusion between the various people involved with the foundation, we were finally ?out of the dirt? and could start building upwards, with wood. This was never a straight forward type of addition, because it had to match within limits, an existing structure that was built in the mid-1700s. As you can guess nothing was straight, plumb or level. But, John was able to put up our 2 story addition so that it looks like it?s been there all along. One thing that we really appreciated about John was his ability to work with us and come up with some great design ideas so that the addition wouldn?t look new. One example is the addition of rough cut hemlock beams, which were cut and trimmed so that it looks like an extension to our barn. He even included hand carved pegs, of course inserted unevenly, to match the barn. His attention to detail is amazingly good. This summer, July 2011, was one of the hottest on record. But, John worked through it all. At times I wanted him to stop, but he assured that he was taking breaks and cooling down quite often. In this heat he was able to put on the new roof and also repair our chimney which was in very bad need of help. I have done carpentry work, unprofessionally, so I understand how it all goes together. I can say, without hesitation, that the construction of this addition is top notch in every aspect. We are extremely satisfied with John?s work and plan to stay in touch with him on future projects.

John analyzed the situation, figured out a solution, and meticulously replaced a leaky mess with beautiful work that not only looked great but functioned perfectly. John is a member of a dying breed – a true craftsman who knows every aspect of construction and takes pride in his work. I would (and will) hire John again.

John Gasparro performed a complete turnkey renovation of our 20-year old main bathroom, which was undersized and outdated. The bathroom renovation project lasted approximately four weeks. The new bathroom is much more functional, airy and up to date. John is an honest renovation specialist; we trusted him to work in our home unattended and never had a worry or concern for our personal belongings. He treated our home like it was his personal property. We would hire John again for other projects in our home.

John is meticulous about the quality of his work; he is expert at designing an area for functionality and appearance, and is precise with his estimated timing to complete the project. John is obviously in his element when performing this type of work. He is a true master carpenter with a very special talent. This was the second project that John completed for us and we are extremely pleased with his work and very reasonable price. At this point, he's "reinventing" the master bathroom for us - and we have complete faith that the job will be nothing less than first class. John is a diamond in the rough - we're very thankful to have him handing our projects.

The project included structural renovation to two walls (1 removed and 1 widened); complete removal of the old kitchen (cabinets, backsplash, tile, plumbing, baseboard heating, electrical, etc.); hardwood floor removal; rewiring for appliance relocations and additions; new recessed lights; new plumbing; new electrical; new tile (backsplash and floor); new countertops; new appliances installed. You name it - done. ALL WORK WAS PERFORMED BY JOHN ALONE, except for times when a helper was required for heavy lifting and contracted granite installation. You would need to see his talent in action in order to truly appreciate the effort, detail and care that John put into the project. Anyone who just sees the finished product could never appreciate all of the rework that went into/behind the walls and floor to make this project work the way it did. John is driven by quality. We are extremely pleased with the quality and professionalism that John Gasparro provided us. He is a true Renovation Specialist that knows his business inside and out, and he's one of the few out there that's still willing to give you a fair price for a project. We already have John lined up for several other renovation projects, so that tells you how pleased we are with John's commitment to project quality and timeliness at a fair price.

John is competent, honest, reasonable and reliable. I have been completely satisfied with everything he has done; his work is very high quality with extreme attention to detail, he uses the best materials, his job site is neat, he does what he says and he does it on time and on budget. I will hire John for my next project.

Needed to find disconnection in electrical system and John was able to do so.

Excellent; completely satisfied.
