Description of Work: Jacob's Ladder did roof repair, gutter repair and trim repair. All went very smoothly except the original roof asphalt singles were a poor match. After this was pointed out they replaced with a near perfect match.

Description of Work: Remodel rec room, art, and sewing studio. The job involved putting up drywall, painting, flooring, ceiling, lighting, and all electrical. Two new double hung windows and a back door were replaced. They did an excellent job with great attention to detail. The area was left clean upon their departure. I would highly recommend Jacob's Ladder and will use them for all my future jobs.

The job progressed in a satisfactory manner. I recommend this company very highly.
Description of Work: Jacob and his crew removed the wallpaper in a large kitchen/laundry room/half bath that had been in place for approximately 12 years. It wasn't an easy job and it took several days to remove and then skim coat and texture the walls to prepare it for paint. In the end the work was very satisfactory. He is also someone to call if you need smaller jobs done in your home. He installed additional insulation in our attic, fixed flashing on our roof and replaced rotted wood around a window in our garage. We've recommended him to several of our friends because he is a hard-working, honest young man.

The service that I have received from Jacob was perfect in every way! Our kitchen has still never looked better than it does today. Even since 2004 my wife and I are very pleased every time that we walk into our kitchen. Top Notch Service and very professional and I WILL recommend Jacob's Ladder to everyone that I know.
Description of Work: Gutted my kitchen down to nothing and put in new ceramic floor, plumbing, cabinetry, light fixtures, and much more.

Excellent quality and workmanship - already scheduled additional work in the near future - skylights, roofing and another wooden deck refurbishing.
Description of Work: Bathroom renovations were outstanding, on budget and on time. Previous work involved ceramic tile, wood flooring, outdoor deck and spa tub repair in the master bathroom. He can do it all and always an awesome result! I have never been disappointed, just impressed!
