We were highly impressed with Chris Jackson from start to finish. He responded quickly to our request for an estimate and during our initial consultation he made helpful suggestions regarding lighting options. We were satisfied with the initial estimate and asked to schedule the work as soon as possible. Chris began working on the scheduled date and completed the job quickly. We are very impressed with the quality of the work performed and we love the new lighting suggested by Chris. One of the pendant lights we ordered for Chris to install did not arrive on the scheduled date and Chris happily agreed to return to install the light when it arrived. The final cost of the job was less than the amount he estimated. We were thoroughly impressed and satisfied with the work done and we will look forward to hiring Chris in the future.
Description of Work: We hired Chris Jackson's Contracting to install a new ceiling and lighting fixtures in our kitchen, new trim around the existing kitchen floor, and to repair an exterior door in our basement. Contractors hung drywall to replace existing ceiling tiles, installed pendant lights over the kitchen island, and incandescent lights over the cabinets. They greatly improved the appearance of the existing floor in the kitchen and adjoining bathroom with new trim and repaired the basement door.

Chris was prompt to return calls and perform work. His estimate was far below other estimates and he didn't try to sell me unnecessary work. He performed the work promptly and well.

I contacted Chris in the Fall and described the jobs that I wanted done by phone. He came a couple weeks later and toured the house. I described the work I wanted in bedrooms as well as a full bathroom renovation, repairing a ceiling in a third bedroom and painting the second floor hallway and stairwell. We decided to address the bedrooms first. I was a bit nervous about not having a written quote but it all turned out ok. Chris and his guys were on time, neat, organized, friendly, polite, responsive to my concerns and requests. The price was a bit high for my budget but I was willing to pay more for someone who had an excellent reputation. After dealing with a host of bad contractors over many years, my experience with Chris and his crew was a breath of fresh air. Thanks guys! Look forward to working with you again.
Description of Work: I asked Chris to renovate 2 bedrooms in my house. This included stripping any existing wallpaper, repairing plaster on walls, plastering over existing ceiling and painting each room with 3+ colors. I also asked him to install ceiling fans in each room and supply the appropriate electrical connections.

WONDERFUL! Chris answers calls immediately. He is very professional and was a pleasure to have working in our home. Like all the reviews say Chris knows alot about alot - and that is a very rare gift nowadays. Chris' price was $200 less than we had previously been quoted and he did the work in only a few hours. Chris was prompt, courteous and very careful and thoughtful in his work. We would DEFINITELY use Chris again -
Description of Work: Chris removed a base kitchen cabinet, installed a new dishwasher which required new plumbing attachments and new electrical work (there had not been a dishwasher in the kitchen so we needed new lines for everything). Chris also fixed our sagging counter top - he did this of his own accord (because he noticed it wasn't supported in the back) and did not charge us anything additional on top of the install.

I thought he knew what he was doing and he did what I asked him to do. He also added another outlet that was dead which he thought I should have repaired. He added the outlet at only a few more dollars. I would use him again.

Fine. Jackson came a few days after I contacted him, to scope the job, and provided a quote on the spot. I accepted the offer a few days later (after another candidate failed to follow up). He came with a helper to do the fix-up work and power wash the deck, and said he would return the following week. The helper came and applied the finish. Jackson came that evening to check the job, and applied some additional finish to spots that looked like they were absorbing a lot of material. I gave him a check per the quote.
Description of Work: Reinforced one section of deck, hammered in loose nails, power washed desk, and applied two coats of finish.

remodeling

Chris and his team, Barry and Tony, were very professional and thorough in their work. The original plan didn't include the replacement of a 2x10 beam, which had to occur because of the condition of the wood. They adapted on the fly and it did not slow them down much at all. Our guess on the shade of paint turned out to be much too bright to match our existing trim and the team let me know that there would be a major mismatch. They worked with me to match the paint. I would highly recommend their work to any and all prospective customers.
Description of Work: Chris and his team renovated a side porch including major support beams and placing a cover on the porch ceiling to eliminate the problem of peeling paint. Also rebuilt the bottom frame of a bay window and installed leaf guides.

Very Good. Chris did a great job; left him the key under the mat, and when I got home all the work was finished and cleaned up. (He even finished a small project I had started; spray painting numbers for my mailbox. He painted them again, and placed them on the mailbox post).:-)

Jackson came in the evening to provide the estimate. We discussed some options and he let us know he was leaving town for about a week and would be in touch after he returned. He did call us back with verbal estimates. We decided to postpone the work as it was more than we expected and we have other things higher on "the list."
Description of Work: Chris Jackson provided an estimate to put in two patio doors off the back room of our house in place of two windows. ($10000.)

Chris does all kinds of work and he is good. The nice thing about him is that he had all of this done for us in one day. He will stay and will not go home until his work is done. He does not disappear on you or anything. He is very professional and I am very pleased with what he has done for us. I highly recommend him.

I have used him for many years because he does general contracting. However, lately he has become a little expensive, and the quality is not as good as it used to be. He had told me he would charge me $250 for two hours. He did lower it $225, but it was still expensive. He answers the phone himself and schedules me quickly.
Description of Work: He replaced some glass in a broken window in my home. He also repaired a door knob and made sure the door closed properly. It took him two hours.

I found the company through Angie's List. They have done other work for me prior to this job. In the past, they installed pipe heater. They are very knowledgeable in a wide variety of areas, show up on time and clean the area upon completion. The employees are personable and interact well with customers. Unfortunately, I do not recall the cost.
Description of Work: I had my hardwood floors repaired by patching up damaged areas along with board adjustments. Also, they repaired my kitchen cabinets. They changed hinges, installed magnetic latches and realigned the cabinets for a better fit.

Chris managed this job for us from start to finish, working with our move-in date 2 months from first estimate. His team was top-notch (we met only one person, but he was professional and meticulous and incredibly good at electrical, painting, and plumbing!). They painted our entire 3 floor condo, completely gutted the kitchen and replaced all appliances and cabinets, and took care of all of the odds and ends that needed fixing before move-in. I appreciated being able to touch base by phone and email throughout. Had a few mis-steps with subcontractors, but I'm not sure I would have avoided them if I had been managing the project myself. All in all, Chris's work was topnotch and it was a pleasure working with him and his team. The flowers on the table when we moved in were the perfect touch!
Description of Work: Gutted kitchen and replaced all appliances and cabinets. Replaced sink/vanity/faucet/mirror in bathroom. Made minor repairs throughout condo. Arranged and supervised installation of 3 levels of hardwood floors. Painted interior. Very flexible in helping to get work done in time for move-in and did additional jobs as needed - for example, on the day that the alarm company came, we found out we needed an electrical outlet in the front hall closet so the alarm system could be installed, and Chris's team put it in immediately. Chris worked with us long-distance and supervised entire job.

Chris and his wonderful crew rescued us and our kitchen after a 25-year-old plumber (not from CJ's team) snaked out our 95-year-old bathroom pipes and the you-know-what literally hit the (ceiling) fan! Our kitchen ceiling fell in and everything else was a mess. They basically repaired and remodeled the entire kitchen and helped us figure out how to do it all for a price we could afford. Walls, floor, ceiling, counter, cabinets have all been replaced and an old, not-in-use chimney was torn out to give us more space. From the beginning, Chris stood out from the other contractors who came to look at the devastation of our kitchen and give us quotes. He had (and told us) ideas for how to approach each project, gave us prices, and explained why things would cost what they did. He and his crew did wonderful work and were a pleasure to have around the house. We're already saving up so we can hire them again for future projects. I recommend them highly and without reservation!
Description of Work: Removed plywood from kitchen walls, repaired ceiling, re plastered walls and ceiling. Took out an existing Chimney and old cabinets. Guided us in the ordering of new cabinets, counter, and flooring and installed them all. And throughout they were all lovely to have around the house.
