John is a very nice young man. He gave us a fair estimate and we chose him for the job. We did not know; however, that he is basically a one man show. He had his father in law help him remove the gutters because the house is 75 ft. long and the gutter continuous. After that, he did all the work by himself and it took a lot longer than we expected. He did take a few short cuts that my husband was not pleased with, but overall his work was good. Just don't expect any work to be done quickly if you are under a time constraint.
Description of Work: Replaced the eaves and soffits and put vinyl siding on the front of the house instead of hardboard. He had to remove and then replace the gutters.

Very good. See comments above.
Description of Work: John used a subcontractor to do the work, which included repair of water damage under a french door and remodel of one bathroom. The bathroom job involved removal of an existing bathtub and installation of a new walk in type shower enclosure, including necessary repair of the sheet rock after installation. All went well, price was fair, and everything conducted in a very professional manner.

Mr. Kauffman is a man of skill, integrity. He kept me updated as to where he was in the work and made sure I approved of each level of work. He is extremely patient, and will take his time to do the project right, and if for some reason (not skill related, but product related), something doesn't turn out as planned, he will return and solve the problem. I felt safe in giving him access to the house, even if no one was home. He is one of the warmest, most honest, most thoughtful, and most pleasant people I have met in many years. I will most certainly use him to do my other bathroom, and complete kitchen remodel. He stayed within the parameters of his original estimate.
Description of Work: This was complete gut job of 40 year old tile bathroom. It consisted of: new installation of tiled shower with decorative tile, pebbled shower floor, shower bench, and glass surround; new tile floor in rest of bathroom; installation of double sink vanities with granite counter tops; installation of 2 new interior doors, installation of all sink plumbing and toilet, upgrade to code of the electrical outlets, installation of mirrors, lights, and other accessories, and he repaired a few walls in other part of house out of the goodness of is heart..

He was on time and stopped the leak the first time. He was freindly and knowledgeable and I plan on using him again. It was a pleasure.
Description of Work: Mr. Kauffman did repair work to the roof and flashing around the chimney which had been leaking for several weeks.
Description of Work: I read great reviews on Angie's list regarding Kaughman Construction which is why we chose them. I did see a bad review pointing out that they never showed up for the estimate but I figured something must have come up and I gave them a shot anyway. Well, unfortunately, they didn't show up for us either. We had an appointment schedule and we worked out our schedules so we could be here...but no one ever showed up. We even called and left a voice mail to find out if they were just running late...but never even received a call back. This, to me, is very unprofessional. I guess he has plenty of work that he can pick and choose who he wants to blow off.

I called Mr. Kauffman out to my residence to give an estimate on 2 different projects. I was interested in putting some built in book shelves in my living room on both sides of my fireplace and I was interested in removing and rebuilding a flowerbed/retaining wall on the front of my home. Mr. Kauffman came out, measured both projects, took my information and advised he would email me an estimate in a few days. However, I never heard back from Him. I assuming he was either not interested in doing either of the projects OR they were to difficult for Him to do. Regardless of the reason, I think it was very unprofessional to never contact me and let me know any further information. Being upfront and honest is the best scenario in my book and I would have respected him alot more if he would have just told me I can't do either of there projects. OR tell me whatever the reason I may never hear back from him. In my opinion I would not recommend hiring or even calling this contractor, because if your time is as valuable as mine then you really do not know if you will every hear back from Him.

John is a very nice man and very conscientious about his work. He gave us a price and stuck with it only charging us labor for the extra work he had to do replacing the bad decking and roofing shingles. He does not charge by the hour but by the job. He does most of the work himself. He only had a helper when removing and replacing the gutters.
Description of Work: John tore off all hardboard eaves, soffits, and siding and replaced it with vinyl siding. He replaced the front with vertical board and batten design vinyl siding. He also replaced bad roof decking and put new shingles in place.

My overall experience has been bad, not only because I have repairs that I am anxious to get completed, but also because I had to take time off from work to meet him, and he never called me back. I didn't rate him an and quot;Fand quot; in any of the applicable categories simply because he was prompt in meeting me the first time. For that alone I bumped him up to a and quot;Dand quot;. Too bad, I had money in my pocket ready to pay him for his work, and when I met him he seemed professional and able to handle my issues. I can only assume the job was too small for him, but at this time I can only assume because I haven't heard back from him. I hold no grudge, and if he reads this and simply replies back to me with an estimate, as he promised, I would be willing to adjust this review - even if I decide not to hire him. However, at this time I can rate him no better than a and quot;Dand quot; due to his lack of response. UPDATE 3/25/12 - Mr. Kauffman has replied back to me with his explanation of why he was late with his estimate, his apology, and with his estimate. Since this is all I was looking for at this time, I will adjust my review...
Description of Work: I contacted Mr. Kauffman based on reviews from Angie's list. To his credit, he promptly called me back and offered to meet me at my house to take a look at my repair needs, and to provide me with an estimate. He was about 30 minutes late, but he did call me ahead of time to let me know that he would be late. After he arrived and we walked through the house, he said he'd get me an estimate in the next couple of days. That was over two weeks ago and I've yet to hear back from him.

The job went very well, he ran into a little problem getting the old tile off, which cost him an half day. After that it went smoothly. He did have a proble installing the new shower fawcet. The cold and hot were backwards and the instructions did not clarify on installation. Therefore you had a 50/50 chance of insalling it correctly. Unfortunitly it was backwards and it took him until several weeks to get back out to me to fix it. I understood the reasoning for the delay, and gave him time. Several times that I called, he would be out later or would call me back the next day. Unfortunately he did not, this was the only time he didn't. Which I understood due to his next job was having issues. The shower still worked and for the quality of work was NOT a deal breaker. I plan on using him again. I have shown pictures of the finished work and recieved beautiful remarks on the craftmanship that he did. He is very Professional and does quality work.
Description of Work: He redid my downstairs shower using stone tile, that turned out beautifully. He also installed my Oven hood including ducting it out the roof and a vent in the upstairs shower that had to be ducted out through the roof. He did a wonderful job on all of this.

He worked with us seamlessly, starting with a free estimate, all the way through the finished product. I cannot say enough good things about John. I will definitely be hiring him again to remodel more of my home!
