About us

"working contractor" meaning that I work on most of our jobs with one or more highly qualified assistants that have been working with me for years. I believe in modeling behavior and work ethic. That is why I feel I have the best people surrounding me because I have worked side by side with them. I believe that that creates duplication which is what love about my business. Everyone that works on my jobs is as good or better than I am. While different in some ways we are the same because over time it just happens. If I leave my job in the hands of my assistant you can be assured that the quality and professionalism I have striven for all my life will be upheld by my team members and friends. I have been featured twice as best contractor of the year in "D-Home Magazine"

Called to schedule appointment for estimate. Mr James arrived as scheduled, looked at project, and advised that he would send estimate. Did not hear back. Called several weeks later. He said that he lost his phone and did not have my number, but would send estimate. Sent estimate approx. 10 days later. I approved estimate and he said he would call the following week to schedule. Never heard from him again.

Fantastic! Joe is incredibly professional and always does the right thing for the job. I was travelling while the inside of the house was being painted and I had no concerns about leaving Joe the keys. He preps and cleans the work areas so that you will never know he was there. Joe also goes above and beyond and even rehung a tapestry in a hard to reach location on my living room wall.

The work went extremely well and was completed over a 4 day period. They were very professional, courteous, and prompt. The quality of work was excellent. All issues were quickly resolved and they cleaned up after themselves. They were a pleasure to work with and will definitely use them again if the need arrives.
Description of Work: James and his employee removed an old door including door jam, installed a new door and painted it. They also removed wall paper in master bathroom, re-textured and painted.

Joe, his team and his referrals for other needed jobs were extremely professional, considerate, and respectful of our family and our property. Their work was more than efficient and reasonably priced. Thanks, Joe! It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Joe James for any and all your painting needs!
Description of Work: Joe treated our home as if it were his own; he even brought needed roof repairs to our attention. Interior jobs completed for us included wall paper removal, sheet rock repairs & replacement; new texture & texture repairs, and extensive interior painting. Exterior jobs included painting our whole house trim & doors; caulking all windows, front door trim replacement & repair and paint; exterior door dry rot repairs, even new exterior door replacement and weather stripping on four exterior doors. We later hired Joe to make repairs and paint my mother-in-law's home before placing it on the market. And by the way, we had an offer within 72 hours & signed the sales contract the very next day.

Joe's work was done very well and in a timely manner. He is kind, conscientious and hard working. Joe and his team treated our family, including our dog, with respect at all times. He took care of our home as if it were his own. Everything was always cleaned up before Joe and /or his team left - there was never a mess inside, or outside. While working with Joe, we learned he is well known and highly respected among his peers and suppliers. We respect Joe's work as top of the line. More importantly, we respect him as a business owner and a man because of his integrity. I highly recommend Joe C. James for wallpaper needs, painting needs and repairs inside and outside your home, or business. He also has a wealth of contacts and recommendations for other needs. We later requested Joe's assistance in painting and making repairs at my mother-in-law's home before placing it for sale. We trusted him to come and go at her home with no one there; and again, Joe performed all requested duties in a timely manner with top notch results. We listed the home on Friday afternoon, had an offer on Monday and signed papers on Wednesday. Thanks, Joe! :-)

I am humbled. (Member names removed) were a pleasure to serve. A great Godly family. I enjoy my work and look forward to doing what I do. But when I have the chance to meet nice folks like this I'm just blessed beyond measure. God is so good

Really liked Joe a lot, and he worked with me on getting the job done fast. One man crew he sent out was fast and high quality. I found a couple of small issues when I inspected the work (I was not home when work was completed), and Joe came out himself to take care of those two items. I can't really compare pricing since I haven't hired a painter in several years, and Joe was the only quote I got since I was in a rush to get the job done.
Description of Work: Painted a large bedroom in two colors, and redid a papered bathroom in texture/paint.

I received a wonderful job. Joe is pleasant to work with. He is the best. He really knows how to apply paint beautifylly. I had no paint drips or spils. He cleaned up every day. Some days I would not know he had been there except for the progress in the work. I would recommend this young man to anyone. He is knowledgable, talented and professional.
Description of Work: Every wall was painted. Woowwork was added to three rooms and all woodwork was painted. A newly paneled room was stained and finished including new doors.

(removed member name) is a delight to work with. She is so patient and kind. I really felt spoiled working for her as she made it a point to bring me drinks and even cooked me breakfast several times. I spent about 6 weeks at her house. Her work was challenging but rewarding. The final room was one she let my creativity loose. It turned out awesome. Love you Bonnie

Joe was very professional and friendly. He works very clean and neat, he was willing to help me get the mirrors and cabinets back up on the walls, which was a very big help to me. I had to leave the house while he was working and felt comfortable leaving him to continue to work.

It was a pleasure to see Joe work. He is careful to set-up his work table in a safe location with plastic and a drop cloth to catch any drips. He matched edges, rolled seams and made sure corners were secure with clear silicone. He was done in about three hours.
Description of Work: Joe James applied already-purchased wallpaper to our hall bathroom. He checked to make sure the prep work was adequate, and let me know that I needed to get another roll of paper (fortunately it was in stock at Lowe's).
