Description of Work: NONE . CALL AND LEFT MY # .NOBODY CALL ME BACK AND DID NOT SHOW UP AT THE HOUSE

Description of Work: Contacted John Desborough to provide quote on a major kitchen re-do. He came to our house not during regular business hrs. (Sat morning) to accomodate our busy schedules. John is certainly well experienced and offered some ideas we hadn't thought of. He asked us what our priorities are while keeping within a budget then mailed us a detailed spreadsheet & picture of possible renovations. Have not made a final decision on which contractor we will hire however, John is definitely in the running.

Description of Work: This company (the owner) came out and did an inspection of our basement. He told me that he would come up with some prints/ideas and e-mail them to me. I still have not heard from him, but he asked to be patient because they had a lot of work.

Description of Work: wouldn't come out. they said it was too far.

Description of Work: I was offered a "deal" so I bought $100 worth of blueprints for kitchen & bathroom with my credit card online. I never heard from them to make an appointment. The note I received said due to heavy response it could take a while to get back to me. I understand this was probably just an honest overlooking of my request and because I didn't follow up with them, nothing was done but I couldn't remember the name of the company to re-contact them! It would be great if they would contact me. Thanks. Sandra Raine Svoboda 440-285-2174

Description of Work: This company is very good at what they do. They removed my deck and then reassembled it after my water proofing. The next year they power washed and stained my deck and it looks beautiful. They are also very good at communicating. They are very responsive and never leave you hanging.

Description of Work: Contractor came out and provided professional drawings for the areas to be built in and remodled. Drawings were of excellent quality; contractor spent considerable time explaining work to be done. Unfortunately, the price was higher than I could afford though I knew this going into the project. I just needed to know an exact price of what I would be dealing with. I am not sure as yet whether I will be able to proceed with this project since I am a retiree.

Description of Work: Very nice man - prompt response and very professional - gave me an estimate for a kitchen remodel. I did not move forward with the project for other reasons but would certainly consider having this company do the work if I do the remodel in the future.

Description of Work: Called John for an estimate on a retro-fit kitchen remodel. I had the cabinets in my garage and told him on the phone that I wanted to use them and buy countertops and other peripherals, but that the cabinets should be able to be used. He came out and told us that he would have to plug the measurements in to the computer "and see what the kitchen wanted to do", but that it was likely that we would have to buy almost all new cabinets and not use what we had because it just wouldn't work. No reasons why, no attempt at even figuring out if they WOULD fit. We told him we were on a tight time frame given that that cabinets were already here and we didn't have use of our garage, and he said he'd get us an estimate in about a week. Well, it's June 30th, we hired someone else, have our garage back, kitchen was completely torn out and totally remodeled, ALL of the cabinets we had (yes, every last one) fit in my kitchen, and I'm still waiting for his estimate. If he didn't want this job, he should have just said that to begin with. Very unprofessional. And I certainly hope I don't get a follow up on here like another person who gave him a poor review, that says he sent the estimate in the mail and it must have gotten lost - we gave him our email addresses as well and asked to have it sent both ways...never received a thing.

Description of Work: How many times has a contractor been on schedule and on budget for you? Well, after many renovation projects over the last 25 years, THIS WAS A FIRST FOR ME. John and his crew did impeccable work in my home -- new floors, new tile back splashes, custom built cabinets, an innovative and cost effective relocation of appliances, a refaced fireplace with new mantle, new gut-renovated bathroom and a complete paint job. John showed up for the estimate exactly when promised and gave a very detailed proposal so that I was able to "pick and choose" among the projects according to my budget. He began work exactly when he promised and showed up without interruption during the entire project. He finished when promised -- sometimes working late into the night in order to keep his promise. During the project, the crew left the house in order every night and showed great respect for our property. I am a demanding "Type A" person and John's work exceeded all my standards.

Description of Work: John did an excellant job on our basement. We had John refinish the entire basement (1400sq ft) to include a full kitchen, office, family room, utillity closet and storage. The work done was top quality, on budget and on schedule. John communicated with us very well during the process from estimate to completion. John also had many suggestions that were very helpful toward achieving our goals for the basement. We will use John on our next porch project and we would highly recommend him to anyone.
