Jim was great, from start to finish. Even while on vacation, he handled an emergency repair required to close on our house. Because of the complexity of our project - complete remodel of a 110 year old house that was in need of an overhaul - we needed a contractor who was flexible, creative, and trustworthy. We had planned to move into the house 4-5 months after closing. We needed to complete a lot of work in a short amount of time, and the full scope of work couldn't be determined until we opened some walls. Jim was great at managing the project and the subcontractors to get us in the house on time. At one point, I think he had the electrician, plumber, HVAC and carpenters working in the house at the same time and managed to keep them working efficiently and out of each other's way. He always understood completing the project on time was the most important goal, and kept shared schedules up to date to reassure us. Although we started with a budget, we expanded the project along the way. Jim always made sure we understood the cost implications of our decisions, but also pointed out the long-term cost savings of doing repairs and improvements up front. Looking back on the project, we are happy with all the decisions we made. Overall, based on the rule of thumb that remodels cost twice as much and take twice as long as the original estimate, Jim surpassed our expectations and we considered the project a huge success. We love our new home. Thanks, Jim!

It went great. Service provided on schedule and they did what they said they would do. Now our house is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer!

On time and on budget. They were most accommodating in taking on a remodel while allowing us to continue to operate the entire time. They were more than willing to coordinate several aspects of the job that were beyond their scope, which allowed everything to stay on track. The quality of the work and workmanship was excellent. I rehired them this year to do another $80,000 project.

They were on time.

Fantastic. Jim and his crew were very professional, on time and did a perfect job. The job was finished on time and came in under budget! I highly recommend him.

I spent about $3100 for two procedures that they did. I loved everything about them. They were very attentive from the start of the job all the way through the end of the job. They were good in their communication. They were good at explaining all the procedures they were going to do. They were on time and on budget. They were highly recommended. I have recommended them to others as well. They were super professional. I think their price could have been better. I will use them again in the future.

As one can tell from the description of the project, this was a huge, many-pronged affair. It grew with time, partly because of what was discovered as we went along, partly because I added additional elements. Jim orchestrated the many aspects efficiently and effectively. When elements of the project didn't work out as planned or expected...the some of the windows had to be redone up to 4xs, the hardwood floor 2xs, the rain pouring into the garage problem--Jim kept the subcontractors until all issues were resolved--they absorbed the extra costs involved in redoing the jobs. He stuck with me until all problems were satisfactorily resolved--with a positive attitude. He was always willing to work with me on my concerns. Not all subs would I use again, but Jim as the contractor I would. He was timely, communicated well. Was flexible, honest, capably allayed my concerns and stuck with me to the end. I do so like the final product. I am loving my remodeled house!

I feel we were duped, and it was a very expensive lesson to learn. Jim told us one price and came back with something entirely different. Even when we removed the tile work ($6000), the cost was still much higher than his verbal quote. Then we find out the pump proposed wasn't required or the size/type even necessary, which makes me question his integrity. For anyone considering any type of work where a contractor is involved, please check this list to see if the contractor is listed. And if the contractor tells you something is required, check the code, go to your county planning offices and ask them. So much angst could have been prevented if I had researched the proposal sooner. Now we have a bill in front of us, charging us additional money for altering the plan, which we requested, but only because we could not afford to pay $10000 for a pump. These costs were a direct result of his statement and it makes me angry that I have to pay them.

WE FOUND HIM BECAUSE HE HAS TAKEN A CLASS AND IS CERTIFIED FOR ADA AND WORKING WITH THE OLDER POPULATION. HE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY PATIENCE AND VERY OPEN AND UP FRONT ABOUT THE COST. MY MOTHER HAS CALLED HIM DAILY AND HE HAS BEEN FINE, HE HAS BEEN SUPER CONSCIENTIOUS AND FOLLOWS UP EVERY TIME HE HAS A SUBCONTRACTOR TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB. HE RETURNS PHONE CALLS AND EVEN OFFERED TO COME TO THE HOUSE AND TALK TO MY MOTHER PERSONALLY BECAUSE SHE WAS UPSET ABOUT HOW LONG THE PROJECT IS TAKING, BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE IN HER OWN HOME ALREADY. I WOULD EVEN RECOMMEND HIM TO BUILD A WHOLE HOUSE.
