John was professional in his manner and the work that he performed at my home. He showed up when he said he would. If there was a delay he notified me immediately. He cleaned up after himself at the end of each day. At the beginning of each day, he reviewed what he completed on the previous day and what was left to complete. The work that I needed were what some might call odd jobs. John quoted me his hourly rate to make sure that I was comfortable with the price. It was a fair hourly rate. I also had a few windows that needed repair. When he wasn't sure how to proceed, John provided me that name of another contractor.
Description of Work: John moved a set of shelves from a bedroom closet to my kitchen pantry, hung a picture on a tall wall, placed hooks on my garage wall to hang two ladders, fixed the top of a bi-fold door, and built a custom closet.

John was extremely professional in his dealings with us. He had told us he had another major project going on during the day, but was happy to work with us in the evening (perfect for us, so that we didn't have to take time off of work). The whole job took maybe 2 hours, and the closet was in excellent shape when he was done. He cleaned up everything and didn't overcharge us. We will definitely call him again for any home projects we have.
Description of Work: We had a new closet put in and we needed to replace the baseboards. John cut and installed the baseboards to the appropriate length. We also had a closet door that was dragging on our carpet, so John cut a small sliver off the bottom.

The latest job was installing a new bathroom vanity, medicine cabinet, counter and sink. He had previously installed new shelves in the bathroom too, The shelves came in first so John installed those and then measured and did a template for the bathroom counter and sink. He also worked on our kitchen sink and counter. We bought a granite countertop from Home Depot so he came before they measured to remove our old kitchen counter, and after they came he was able to put it back so we didn't need to go two weeks without a kitchen. He also needed to make some adjustments for the difference between the old and new one. Also, for both of the above jobs, he knew a good plumber who could help us with installing new pipes and faucets. John was also able to help us with replacing some rotten wood on our front porch around the window frames. It seems like there is no job he can't handle when it comes to home repair and/or remodeling. He is by far the best contractor we have ever used. He responds quickly, once he is available arrives on time, and the quality of his work is excellent - he obviously takes great pride in doing the right the first time. We couldn't ask for more and will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Removed old bathroom vanity and medicine cabinet and replaced with new ones and also installed new shelves. Removed old kithcen counter, removed and replaced dishwasher, made adjustments for difference in the new and old one and caulked kitcchen counter once installed. Also removed and replaced rotten wood in porch windows.

If you have a job concerning carpentry, replacement or small remodel/restore, John can help. Twice he came to "fix" things, first bad kitchen molding and next a piece of vinyl siding that was coming off the building. Both times he came, saw the problem and fixed it before he left. I have been completely satisfied.
Description of Work: Twice I have used John for handyman work and was completely satisfied. The first time was to replace two pieces of kitchen cabinet molding that had been a problem for years. The second was after Sandy struck I had a piece of vinyl molding 3/4 off the building. In each case he responded quickly, performed the job and charged reasonable amounts.

It was a positive experience throughout. We reponed to the initial call and gave a responble quote explaining precisesly what he would do. We scheduled the work within 2 weeks and he came the day he said he would. Work complete was high quality. it has added greatly to our homes image. I have used him for two handman items since. See separate review.
Description of Work: John added both Crown and door opening Moulding in our Living and Dining rooms.

The existing soffit and fascia was painted white wood that was in need of repairs in two places 1- a corner where birds had made a home/nest in the rotting wood and 2- along a flat side edge where a squirrel chewed his way in where the wood and gutter meet. I called John, he came out evaluated the work and then gave us three options (all at different price points) to repair the damage. John was punctual, tidy and courteous. The end result of his work is spectacular. He was not only able to match the existing detail of the soffit and fascia, but he did so in a timely and cost effective manner, staying within the original cost and time estimate. This entire process from my first call to John to the completed work took about 2 weeks, and any lag time was our fault. I would highly recommend John and his work to friends and neighbors looking for a carpenter or handyman.
Description of Work: We hired John to repair 2nd story soffit and fascia in two places on our 120+ year old home.

Description of Work: John is one outstanding carpenter! I stuck him with hanging doors in a 85 year old house where every door frame was off size and where the terms square and plumb were strange concepts to the builder. He just smiled and shaped the doors so they fit like hand in glove. Could not ask for a better job. On our list is a kitchen remodel, he is going to get the call!

John performed a seamless job! He was quick, thorough and did fantastic work! The end result was EXACTLY what we had asked for. He clearly takes pride in his work. He was also very tidy and took the time afterwards to clean up. He did a great job, such that you couldn't even tell that he had been there!
Description of Work: John installed a 22,000 BTU "through the wall" air conditioner. He removed a much larger, older unit from the same location. He framed and caulked around the new unit to present a seamless, professionally installed appearance.

John does great work. He is a perfectionist (even on the back stairs!) He was not satisfied with the grain on one board. He felt it didn't match the rest of the boards. He replaced it the next day! He is a very nice guy.
Description of Work: John replaced the treds on our back staircase with trex composite. The staircase is a full story tall with 10 steps plus a small deck at the top.
