John showed up on the day we discussed, he got right to work and was finished on time. He was very professional and the quality of work was very good. The new vent-a-hood looks great and even though there were some unexpected complications he worked quickly and never gave us any concerns that the job would not be completed as expected. Each night they cleaned up the area so that we could still use the kitchen at night.
Description of Work: Took out overhead cabinets and old vent-a-hood and replaced with new vent-a-hood.
John removed everything in the kitchen down to the bare walls and floor. He recommended Roberson Trim and Cabinets to build new cabinets and they are beautiful and of excellent quality. He removed overhead lighting box and replaced with pot lights and pendant lights. Cabinets were installed and painted. Lighting was placed in upper glass cabinets. John installed a new glass back splash and we couldn't be happier. New tile floor was put down and walls were painted. He installed all new appliances and a new toilet in the half bath. John is a very hard worker and does an extremely professional job in all areas. He makes sure to keep the work area as clean as possible. The quality of his work is superb. The kitchen is beautiful and we enjoy it a great deal. We would not hesitate to use him again for any job that we need.

I would like to thank John and his crew for a well done job! We ran into a few hold ups along the way that were not of his control related to the foundation and electrical, but we kept in close contact. John was very responsive and offered many suggestions to help us along the way. Come to find out he was working on a house across the street just before starting our job. They were also very happy with his work as well! We will be calling you again for additional work in the future.

John and his team of people came in, took off the balcony, rebuilt the garage door framing, roof line, took out a door at the balcony and replaced with 2 windows. New Sheetrock, shingles, paint, etc. I have had a lot of compliments on the new look. John and his guys did a superb job! I would not hesitate to call him again for any job nor would I hesitate to recommend him (and have done so many times). Finally, I have 2 very spoiled, very protective schnauzers. John was excellent with them! :-)
Description of Work: Called John in for a master bathroom remodel. In the process of planning that scope of work, we discovered a much more precedent problem: the balcony off my master bedroom was causing major damage from water runoff and leaks.

I had a water leak coming in my master bedroom patio door when it rained really hard. I had no idea where it was coming from. John found the source of the leak, and he was very thorough in this task. It was actually leaking from two places, one major and one minor, and he remediated them both. The work was done with the utmost professionalism. John is now my new handyman for all my handyman needs! Thank you!
Description of Work: Identified source of water leak from outside (during rain), replaced siding/trim/flashing to remediate leak. Fixed sprinker head. Fixed mailbox.
John and his subcontractors are all very easy to work with and very fair. We discussed the work and agreed easily on what tasks were part of the original estimate and what tasks would require additional cost. During the demo and repair of the closets, the only additional cost was relocating some of the electrical which I did not request in the original estimate. Because the first part was a small job, I was willing to let his team work between other jobs, but he still finished the first stage of the work in only a couple of days. This involved coordinating himself (demo/framing/sheetrock/floating/texturing), his electrician, and his HVAC subcontractor schedules, which isn't always easy. Had I demanded it, he would have compressed the schedule for me, but it wasn't necessary. I've done home remodeling of my previous house, and I know how much of a challenge it is. He knew how to build a bit of safety margin into the proposal to handle unexpected surprises (there are always surprises when you demo) and his skill and quality of work were evident. I was able to watch him work here and there, the guy is very good. After he finished getting the walls back in shape, I ordered and installed cabinets on my own and brought him back in to install countertops and bartops. This was not a small job. In order to reduce costs, John worked with us to choose an affordable option on the granite (prefabbed pieces). After we chose the type/color/pattern of granite, he selected the best pieces for our purposes, had the bartops fabricated, and cut the pieces to rough size. At his suggestion, we agreed to have him cut down one side of the pony wall on our center island, which really opened up the floorplan. Cutting down and refinishing the pony wall, Installation of the bartops and countertops, mounting the undermount sink (which we purchased separately_ and installing the faucet and drains only took about 2 days of work. He was fast and thorough. All through the process, he kept me informed and gave me options on how to handle any curveballs. I was able to watch him work, and in most cases he was more picky than I was. Next steps are for me to install tile for the backsplash myself. After that, I plan to bring John back in to do the floor tiling. I can't express enough how much of a pleasure it was to work with John. He's fair, pleasant, communicates well, and offers options when needed.
Description of Work: DEMO CLOSETS COMPLETED: Demo'd two built-in closets in kitchen/dining area. Reframed wall behind to hide plumbing. Removed extra ductwork/vent and enlarged existing vent. Relocated electrical outlets and light switches which included cutting access holes and fishing wiring through walls and ceiling in areas outside the demo area. Installed sheetrock in the demo'd areas and repaired the sheetrock where wiring was done. Retextured areas that would not be covered by cabinets. GRANITE BARTOP/COUNTERTOP COMPLETED: After I received and installed the cabinets which I had purchased separately myself, I brought John back in to install granite bartop and countertops. John and his team selected the prefabbed granite pieces based on the FLOORING PENDING John and his team worked with me to remodel my kitchen. I needed two built-in closets demolished and the wall behind them refinished so I could install my own pantry and cabinets along that wall to open up the floorplan. This included modifying/relocating electrical and HVAC ductwork. After I installed the cabinets, John and his team selected, fabricated, and installed granite countertops and bartops for me, including mounting an under-mount sink and hardware.

John did an excellent job! The finished result looks GREAT! He discussed steps with us as he went along letting us know all difficulties he ran into so that we would be aware. We've had LOTS of work done on a previous home, so I can confidently say that NO ONE has ever taken the trouble to make sure that he did as clean a job as could possibly be expected. He guarded from sheet rock dust and general mess getting all over my living room. He was cordially polite and professional. He also touched up paint and texture on walls that had damage. We were very pleased with his work and have already ask for a bid on another job from him. When he says INTEGRITY and PRECISION matter to him, he means it.
Description of Work: John accepted an unusual job to do for us. He filled in a niche specifically so a television and shelves to hold electronics could be mounted there. The wall wasn't flat and there were no studs to hang it.

Response from Affordable Remodeling by John
I do apologize for not following up. I received a single message on Angie's list from this customer on Saturday October 4th. I did reply to the message and said I would call the following Monday, but did not. No excuse for that. Never received a single call or message from this customer, so ultimately....well false statements?
Work was excellent quality. He really cleaned up well. I already have more plans for him. Had great suggestions and would gently steer me in the right direction when I wasn't sure what to. Also repaired siding on the house and matched the paint

John is prompt, shows up when he says, and is particularly good with his woodworking. If you are not sure about which direction to go, in making a decorating or remodeling choice, he can offer good advice from his experience. I believe he is honest, trustworthy, and does a wonderful job. He is very busy, so you might have to wait to get onto his list if you have a big job for him to do.
Description of Work: John pulled up old carpet in a bedroom that had been water damaged by a previous contractor. He painted the walls, ceiling, repainted the window sill and doors, installed and hung new closet door and remodeled the closet, building shelves and installing some lights that look wonderful. He laid carpet with nice padding, and installed crown moulding and new baseboards. He also installed custom Leveler blinds and a new ceiling fan. The whole room looks beautiful.

I did indeed send this customer a quote for his new house. Utter lie. I have the email I sent on to him on 11/24/13. Please remove this response as it is only meant to be hurtful as the previous one was. I am a man and if I make any mistakes, I own up to them as you see in other reviews. I try to be very punctual and professional, as dirty as this business is..... I do not respect this customer any more and am glad not to service such a poor character...

Are you kidding me? I bent over backwards and worked around this customers schedule. I was told to come and go as I needed and did so without a hiccup. We met at his new house after everything was completed and was looking forward to doing more business with said customer. But I guess he's entitled to his...oh, no, I think he was just a bitter person to begin with.

Can't say. Haven't meet him.
Description of Work: John called after I submitted a photo to Angie's list using Snap Fix. It was near last part of July. I admit it took me over two weeks to return his call, which was near the second week of August. When I called I did apologize for my tardiness in getting back with him. I asked if he could schedule a time to come out and look at the shower we wanted done. He was in transit to a job he was currently working on, but said he would call me back. Well, it hasn't happened. I will put it down to him being busy and forgetting. It happens. No hard feelings. Either way I am still on the hunt for a person to replace the shower in the master bath.

Please call me so we can remedy this situation. I have no messages from you through Angie's List and no information written in any of my notes regarding your job. Not saying you didn't call me, but would still like to reach out and help if I can. Please attempt to call me again at (281)706-1932.
John arrived early, set up quickly, refaced inner walls of two cabinets, created and finsihed new bottoms for both cabinets. Wood was already clear coated when he arrived. Cabint interiros look better than when they were new. Excllent fit of all new pieces he created. Very professional, used drop clothes, vacuumed inside and outside when he was done.. We will use John again soon on some small projects we have pending, we are also talking to him about remodeling our stairs. He is very knowledgeable, wife is very happy with him and his work. Eddie

I am sorry you had this experience and feel the need to write a bad review. I was under the impression that when I left, I made it clear that I was pretty busy, as I have been doing with all of my potential and current customers, it has been busy. You guys told me as long as the project was started well before the cold season sets in for the holes in your house, you exclaimed that my schedule and time wasn't that big of an issue. I had the estimate prepared yesterday on my weekend birthday, which was the first opportunity that I had to do paperwork. Again, I apologize to you both if it wasn't soon enough for your needs.

They are beautiful. He also trimmed, to my delight, with a lovely crown molding. He did an amazing job. I was delighted. It took about a day and a half. He brought his materials over on Thursday evening, and started work on Friday morning. He worked about 12 hours on Friday, and the shelves were ready for final paint job Saturday morning. He was finished by about 11:30 AM Saturday. Beautiful work. He also pointed out that 1 of my electrical plugs is not working, which I didn't know about. He also got the part and fixed a small problem with my sink stopper in my guest bathroom, which had never been properly installed. I paid for the part, which he picked up at Lowe's, and he fixed it. Great attention to detail, amazing artistry. He is a true woodworker.
Description of Work: John built custom shelves in the living room. He bought all the materials, measured, cut, primed and painted. He designed the shelves.
John answered call and promptly came by to review work needed. We had several small jobs. John was very professional in taking the time to survey the tasks and ask questions to clarify the work. He provided a quote detailed by task including labor and materials. John worked with us to schedule the job around his work load and our summer schedule. He arrived promptly on the scheduled date. One task was to remove exterior shudders and to construct replacements. John was very easy to work with on the design of the new shutters. We are very pleased with the work and the work experience. Would definitely hire John again.
Description of Work: Replaced and painted window shudders, painted front door, replaced and painted wood around window and reinstalled strip of external trim, replaced interior ceiling fan with light kit.

John did a great job. He takes real pride in his work. He is on time and works until the job is finished. Completely trustworthy and a genuinely nice guy. We were clear that the project was to help bring the house up to a level to sell and he offered advice about where to invest in order to get the best look for the price we wanted to pay. We had a good experience and would use him again without question. We have a young family and he was always very respectful and cleaned up every day. He always worked on just one room at a time so although he was working in our home for a few weeks it never felt as if we were living in a construction zone. Little things made a lot of difference to us - his estimate was accurate and there was always agreement prior to any change from the agreed scope of work. He was great with the family - including our dog and would watch our for her if we were out of the house. John generally worked on his own but did have some support with replacing the shower door and painting the outside of the house. Even then he assumed complete responsibility and ownership of the work. We had one issue where some paint was spilled on a carpet - so John arranged for the carpet to be professionally cleaned the next day and reduced the bill accordingly. If you need someone to do any work in your home then John is your man for sure.
Description of Work: Painted outside and remodeled inside of our home, painted and repaired all rooms including oil based trim, doors and stairs. Replaced damaged siding. Re - tiled bathroom, replaced all hardware. Fitted new interior wall and doors to remodel bathroom closet. Replaced shower. Replaced attic ladder. Overall project was to get the home ready for resale.
