I guess I told my whole story in the describe the services section.
Description of Work: I have a brick room addition on my house that the prior owners referred to as their "florida room". I called it my porch. It was brick on the outside and inside, with no insulation, and with five foot wide, picture windows in three walls. The windows and the door were mounted in the brick with no sills or trim. I wanted to make a finished room out of the "porch". My husband, who is very good at his chosen profession, but not a carpenter, put insulation and drywall sheets on the walls. THEN we looked at what we'd done, and realized that we didn't have the skills to finish it. So, we called Lou Ponzo. He turned a home-owner's do-it-yourself patchwork into a beautiful finished room. He trimmed out the windows with wooden sills and picture-frame style trim, and trimmed around the door. He installed some trim to serve as crown molding, and finished the drywall. All of this sounds simple as I type it, but it wasn't simple. He had to creatively use trim to even things out and make the finished product. Nothing was even or flush or square. It was the proverbial sows ear. He did a beautiful job. I have a real room now where there used to be just a brick porch.

I contacted Lou Ponzo about the work I needed done. We discussed the options for types and grades of windows and siding. After viewing samples, I made my choices on colors and styles. I received an estimate of the jobs costs, agreed to the contract, and was given an approximate start date and estimate of time needed to finish the job. I was contacted a few days prior to the commencement of work, and the job started and completed as expected.
Description of Work: I had old, fogged, leaking windows replaced with new Pella double hung windows, and Lou Ponzo did the installation. The interior wooden frames and sills were stained the exact color I chose ahead of time. The windows were trimmed to a perfect fit, and work great. The job was meticulous, and the wood work is beautiful. He finished six windows in one day, and cleaned up so that, aside from the new windows, you'd never have known he was there. He also installed a bow window in place of an old picture window in my living room, and replaced the old aluminum siding in the front of my house with vinyl. Again, the interior wood trim was stained to my specifications, and the whole job was meticulous. It was done quickly and efficiently, and I had no clean up to do myself. All materials and options were discussed with me ahead of time, and the cost of the job was as estimated.
