PTS CONSTRUCTION

See above.

Paul from PTS called me back promptly the same day I called. He managed to start the job the following Monday and was completed in one week. He completely explained to me the work he was doing and called me a couple times during the week to give me progress reports on his own initiative. He even did extra things on the job that impressed me with the quality of his work such as repairing a leaking AC pipe under the house, adding a crawl space well and putting a sock bib around the downspout where it goes into the French drain at ground level to prevent dirt from getting into the drains.

Paul was great to work with. He helped us problem solve our crooked wall and came up with a great and well priced solution. He completed the work on time, and cleaned up behind himself. The wall is better than before and the sink that he plumbed and installed works great. I actually hate to tell you how impressed we are with the job him did, because he is in such high demand, I don't know if we'll be able to get him back to do a few more jobs for us!

We hired Paul to paint the kitchen ceiling and walls during our kitchen remodel. We had several bids and Paul was the most reasonable. We picked the color and purchased the paint and primer. Paul did a great job painting our walls and ceiling. He did a nice job trimming it out. The paint job is even and covered very nicely. He did a better job than the painters I hired to paint the whole house. I have also had him touch up other places in our home that the other painters did not do a good job on.

We had a list of misc items. We called Paul because he has done numerous projects on our house. I called Paul to go over the list. He asked me to e-mail it to him so he would know what tools to bring. Paul arrived and quickly worked through the list. I liked the fact that he had it and checked off the items as he went. He brought all the tools he needed and didn't need to run out to get anything. Everything he did was nicely done.

Paul tore off the old decking that was put on by another contractor. The other contractor installed a deck on the porch that had gaps in the wood. These gaps allowed water to penetrate the ceiling underneath the porch and rot it out. The previous contractor did not miter the trim around the posts. Paul tore off the decking and discovered that the wood framing was rotted underneath. He replaced the framing and stabilized the porch. He replaced the decking with tongue and groove fir wood. The porch looks beautiful. Now the water won't penetrate the framing underneath the porch. The trim work looks great.

We hired Paul to re-install and re-enforce benches that were removed from our butlers pantry in our 1920's home in Hyde Park during remodeling. Paul also custom milled and installed the woodwork to match the original woodwork in the house. Paul did a great job re-installing the original benches that were removed. We had a new floor put in while they were removed so he had to custom build feet to raise the height back to table level. The benches fit back into the space like a glove. He added a trim on the benches where they meet the wall. They look better now than the original installation. Paul also re-enforced the seats so they are firmer and won't bow from years of weight. Paul also installed custom woodwork in the remodeled kitchen and butlers pantry. It looks as if it has always been there (that was important to us). The corners are mitered very nicely. Most important, he took great care not to damage our custom made kitchen cabinets during the installation.

We hired Paul to drywall the ceiling in our kitchen and breakfast nook. He has done work previously for us and we were very happy with the results. Paul gave us a very reasonable bid and was able to start right away. He was very good about accommodating our schedule and working around other contractors in our home. Paul did an excellent job taping the seams and straightening the corners. He skim coated the whole ceiling 3 times. He did an excellent job. Our ceiling is the smoothest drywall work I have ever seen. He is very particular about the final product. I will call Paul if I ever need any drywall work done. His work is the best I have seen.

I contacted Paul to look at our living room floor where there was termite damage in the floor joists. The floor had sunk almost 2 inches. You could see a large gap between the baseboard and the floor. Paul showed up on time and gave me a written bid within 2 days. He raised the floor very slowly and supported the floor with a steel beam. He reinforced existing beams that were not damaged with wood and floor joist supports. Our floor is now level and secure. Paul was very reasonable in his pricing and did not want to be paid until the job was finished. We were so happy with him that we have hired him to do numerous other projects varying in scope. I would highly recommend him.
