It went very well. He got back to me quick and gave me an estimate quick, and he showed up when he was supposed to, and when he said he was, I should say so.
Description of Work: I had some, like my front porch, so I needed it. It's a cement slab, but I needed new woodworking. He did that.

Very well, they were here at 10 a.m., and then they were done by 12. Everything went very well, and I would recommend them to everybody because they were reasonably priced.

Jack (assisted by Nick) did a super job for a challenging deck upgrade, from analyzing the challenge, working through alternatives, to coming up with an innovative solution, and then implementing it to perfection. All along the process, from my initial query, to completion, Jack kept me informed about options, work days, his needs, and was accomodating for my time schedule as well, He gave me an quote, walked me through it (including various options), and kept to the plan he devised and I agreed to. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome as the upgrade is structurally better than the original while also blending in well (i.e., it looks great!). He was on-site when he said he would be, kept the work area/debris under control, and did a thorough cleanup when he was done including haulding away all debris. We are already in disucssion about some additional improvements that I would like to have him do.
Description of Work: Upgraded the supports for a second floor deck that is over 32 years old.

Jack and his crew were wonderful to work with. Jack is very knowledgeable in refinishing wood. We had a 35 year of stair railing that needed sanded, stained, and polyurethane. Very considerate of the dust and our home surroundings. Would highly recommend for all your wood finishing needs.

We had our "old school guy" Jack Fuze back to install salvaged hardwood in our hallway. He communicates well and explains what he intends to accomplish each day. He uses a dustless sander which cuts down drastically on the amount of cleanup. Jack did another excellent job and we are extremely pleased with his expertise and craftsmanship.
Description of Work: Phase one of our project was repairing/refinishing of original hardwood in DR and LR with salvaged hardwood. I previously reviewed that project. The hallway was phase two of our flooring project . There was carpeting on plywood in this area. Jack had to do extensive "blocking" in order to have something to nail the salvaged hardwood flooring into. The hallway has an angle and then straightens out. There are four doorways transitioning to carpet/ceramic tile, a closet, plus the threshold from LR to hallway. Although it wasn't a huge area it presented many challenges. New baseboard was also installed.

Jack was the old school guy we were looking for! He responded promptly and communicated in a timely manner. The project required a craftsman that had many years of experience. We always knew when he was going to work and exactly what he was doing. He answered all our questions and concerns. We decided to have him install new baseboard also at some point. All work was exceptional and we are extremely pleased!
Description of Work: We had salvaged hardwood flooring that needed to be threaded into existing hardwood in dining room and living room to make repairs. Everything then needed sanded and stained and poly applied. The project was extensive and needed his particular expertise.

Jack was professional and thorough. He was enthusiastic and detail oriented when it came to power washing and removing old paint from our deck. And he responded quickly to phone calls and worked with our schedule, and the weather, to get the job done quickly. When refinishing the deck, he found a few places that needed to be repaired, and he fixed them after consulting with me, for a small additional price. After the job was done, he came back to touch up a few places on the railings (which he also had stained) that were in hard to reach locations. I would use him again and highly recommend him.

I've used Jack in the past for minor repairs and restaining. When I noticed multiple rotting boards on the deck, I contacted Jack to see about re-skinning the deck. Jack came out in December with his team and spent a couple days replacing all the boards and beefing up some of the support beams. Jack always does an excellent job and is reasonable with his prices. I'll be using him again in the spring/summer to stain the new boards.

Jack stripped and restained the hardwood floors in a bedroom that had been covered in carpet for years. He also pulled up tile flooring in front of the fireplace in the room and replaced it with hardwood; it was a beautiful design and blended in nicely with the old flooring around it. Lastly, he installed quarter round around the perimeter of the room. Jack is very thorough in explaining his plan and process ahead of time and in laying out your options and providing input on the choices. He returns calls in a timely manner, was able to schedule a time to do the work quickly, and finished the project efficiently. The room looks great! We are looking forward to having him do another room for us soon.

I hired Jack to clean and stain my deck. He was very responsive, answered all my questions and was very attentive to my concerns regarding "failed" areas from a previous job. He pressure washed and hydro scrubbed the deck, and hand sanded "problem areas" in preparation for the stain. The stain was applied using spray on, back brush and roll in coatings. Although the price was a little higher than other quotes, I think you get what you pay for. Jack was prompt, professional and detailed in his approach. I'd certainly recommend him.

Old school professional, Jack's a man that honors his word. When he sets an appointment, you won't need to follow-up behind him, Jack will show up and he's on time. Jack will discuss the steps involved for your project so there's no misunderstanding. He will clearly explain what must be done to be ready to receive him and his workers. And when Jack is finished...his work is extraordinary, our 100+ year old floors are beautiful! I highly recommend Jack (JDL) for his work, demeanor and professionalism. Stephanie W. Bellevue
I've hired Jack many times before for deck work or wood floor staining. He's really good because he is so thorough and careful in his approach. I recently hired him again to put together a large wooden playset for my kids. Jack spent multiple days carefully constructing the playset per the instructions. As a carpenter, he also knew to add in some additional details to further enhance the safety of the set which were not part of the standard instructions. He added a few other touches for aesthetics which really looked nice. My kids were overjoyed with the final product. Jack is not cheap although I think his prices are fair. But I always go to him for relevant work because he goes above and beyond for the client and is a perfectionist so the quality of work is always really good. I would recommend him for any carpentry type work, decks, wood floors, stainings etc...And playset construction is something else in his repertoire.

Absolute fantastic! Jack is a guy who knows his stuff. We had an upper deck and a lower deck (the lower deck had trex decking, which he cleaned as well), plus some nooks and crannies that were hard to get to. He handled it all. Cleaned the deck, sanded everything down, and restained it all. Not just with a sprayer mind you, but also with a brush to get into all the little hard to get to spots. Will talk you through all that he will do, why he does it, and what it will do. Fair pricing, awesome service. We will be using him again when another project comes up.

The job was finished in a timely fashion and it was well done. The owner, Jack Fuze, first came to give us an estimate. We agreed to do the work. He showed up right on time, did the work quickly, well and in a timely fashion. I liked his t-shirt and asked him for one. He gave me one. He was careful and clear on social distancing and wearing a mask. That is important and much appreciated.

Jack provided a reasonable, clear estimate of what he could and couldn't do for my damaged 100-year old oak floors. He even had old boards in stock that he sanded down to match so it was a near-perfect fit. Got the job done right the first time, even when things didn't go as planned with the repairs. Highly recommend for repairs to flooring.
