There were some slight hiccups with the schedule AND David communicated often and early. He looked beyond the immediate symptom to find a second support member that needed to be replaced. He was efficient and contentious. I would recommend him for your project and I would hire him again.
Description of Work: David replaced rotted support members for my porch, re-attached the porch to the house, and re-leveled the porch.

I didn't know what I wanted and Dave made suggestions that I thought were very good. He surpassed my expectations. He created a beautiful all cedar deck/entryway that adds much to my home. Very professional and very detailed and kept me informed every step of the way. I am very happy with how my entry turned out.
Description of Work: I needed my front entry replaced. This was seven steps up with a turn and a small deck .

We set up a Saturday morning meeting to walk through odd jobs I had for him. I rushed home from across town to meet him and he did not show. He called 2 hours later and said he totally forgot about the appointment. I messaged him via Angie's List multiple timeS to reschedule and he never replied. Maybe he is on vacation or had a family emergency? I don't know.

The bathroom looks superb thanks to David's attention to detail and beautiful tile work. The tub surround area had a lot of plaster to be removed with wood rot behind it that David treated before squaring up the wonky walls and installing 12x24 porcelain tile with two niches. It was great that he was able to replace all the non-standard pipe fittings in the shower so that it wasn't necessary to incur the expense and extra time to bring in a plumber separately to take care of it. The tub has a decorative bump-out that required the floor tile to be cut to match the curve of the tub and David's precise cuts are one of the details that give the room a very professionally finished look. The sink was tricky too because the drain hole wasn't round and the drain pipe had to be routed awkwardly, but his troubleshooting fixed an initial leak and it's been perfectly dry. I researched how to do shower tile when I was wondering how hard it would be to do it myself and so it was great to see that David meticulously carries out all the right preparation steps and finishes the job properly. He clearly cares about doing the job well. When the hauler who was supposed to take away all the heavy plaster and debris from the job failed to show up, David loaded it all into his truck and took it with him - much appreciated!!
Description of Work: Complete bathroom renovation including porcelain tile around the shower, floor tile, a new vanity with a vessel sink and faucet, new toilet, a curved shower curtain rail, and plumbing updates.

During some recent plumbing repairs done by another company, a fiberglass tub surround was cracked and needed to be replaced. The wall studs around the tub were loose and uneven and the framing done by the previous home owner was odd. David prepared the area carefully, fixing the wall framing and installing a cement board base to make a solid foundation for the tile. He then installed 12" x 24" porcelain tile with two 12" x 12" niches, a band of decorative glass mosaic tile, and a curved shower curtain rod. He also painted the walls and ceilings. Everything was very neatly finished and the updated bathroom looks superb. David's attention to detail makes it look better than I thought possible and has transformed it from a destination of last resort to the preferred bathroom in the house.

David carefully examined the maze of framing that the previous owner had created in the ceilings and walls and figured out which boards could safely be cut to provide a straight exit route for the ducting. This was a difficult task because there were only a few holes in the drywall where plumbing pipe fittings had recently been replaced, so it was hard to get a complete picture of the framing structure. I hadn't realized the duct installation was so loopy until those holes were opened and then foolishly thought I could fix it myself. By the time I threw in the towel and called David, there were only a few days left before a drywall crew was scheduled to patch the holes. It was such a relief that he responded quickly, was able to fit in a morning's worth of work before the drywallers arrived, and found a good solution to this puzzle.
Description of Work: David Jones figured out how to reroute the ventilation duct of a basement bathroom fan so that it travels straight to the outside wall, 5 feet away, and now works very efficiently. The previous homeowner had followed the easiest route, which used about 15 feet of duct pipe and was so contorted it rendered the fan useless. The ducting wound down through one stud bay in the wall, shared an opening for the waste pipe to hop over to the next stud bay, then traveled up about five feet to an existing opening in the outside wall. With all those twists and turns, it was no wonder the fan didn't work! With David's fix, air now blows convincingly out of the duct when the fan is turned on.

I'll definitely contact David again in the future.
Description of Work: I contacted David via email to install a fixed ladder on our home. He gave me a one week window of time when he'd be available soon during the busy summer season (which was unfortunately before I could get the ladder shipped) and then gave me a specific month in the fall when he'd be available again. All the other responses I got from other contractors just said they weren't available at all, period. I was very impressed with his immediate response to my initial query and a number of follow-ups. And the hourly rate he quote was quite reasonable.

That's so considerate of you since all we did was email back and forth; I'm sorry I'm not available sooner, but I totally understand when people don't feel like waiting over two months just to have something minor done at their home. But, the fact that you still took the time to give me a write-up on AL means a lot to me and I hope to hear from you, again! Take care. Thanks! David J.

David responded to my email request within a prompt time and set up a time to inspect the damage. Once he determined he could fix it, we set a date, and he came prepared with all the equipment and materials needed. He completed the repairs in less time than we thought. After a few weeks, one of the repair areas showed unexpected damage, so he returned, figured out a more permanent fix, and returned to do it when the weather cooperated. He was really good about keeping in touch, and working efficiently.

Job was done to my complete satisfaction. David Jones arrived when he said he would, and, working alone, he finished the job in less than one day.
Description of Work: Replaced a 5/4 X 8'' X 12' "belt" board (primed cedar) on the front of my house, that included a dozen wooden decorative pins. Also replaced a small section of board at the side, and dealt with some wood rot on another board. Job included 12' of flashing to prevent future damage to the "belt".

David came by to look at the issues we needed resolved. He proposed specific solutions and sent me a detailed estimate of what it would cost. He later came back to perform the work in two days. I think it all worked very well. He did the tasks he had specified in the time specified and seemed to work very efficiently. David charges per hour that he works but did not charge for his initial visit. He bought his own material and charged me exactly what he had paid for them. I should add that we previously had been given much higher estimates by other providers for essentially the same work..
Description of Work: David modified our deck so as to make it safe for small children by (1) building a gate to restrict access to one part of it; and (2) constructing a secure railing on the rest of it. He also fixed a number of non-functioning doors inside the house, including a long stretch of accordion doors that had to be raised in order to move freely.

David is great! He answers his phone, is courteous, professional, knowledgeable, nice to the dogs (comes with treats), and does quality work. He can be booked out awhile as he is very busy, but it is worth the wait. David arrived right on time and talked through the project with me. He also spent time looking at other future projects throughout the house. I received a detailed estimate for the job, sent a materials deposit and scheduled the work. Unfortunately, he was booked out 4 weeks but it was the end of summer rush. Once he started on my job, he was efficient and took care to do the work correctly. He made good recommendations as he got into the job, and got the work done in the original estimated time. In fact, he came in slightly under budget. The windows look fabulous and the siding work looks makes the house look like brand new construction. We are having him come back in a few weeks to do additional project work as he is very versatile, does quality work, and is reasonably priced.

I contacted David to get an estimate for re-framing our mudroom, which has been slumping for years apparently (just bought the house this spring but the planed door and misaligned paneling show that the sinking has been happening for a while). The slumping is-we think-due to bad gutters, which we replaced this summer, so we just needed to shore up the mudroom area (which wasn't done very well in the first place) and replace the rotted wood. David was really responsive, emailed me quickly and we set up a time for him to come over. He arrived right on schedule and spent a good amount of time assessing the problem and the potential sources of it, as well as different kinds of solutions. He let us know when he would have the time to write up the estimate, which I really appreciated since other people we have had out have not been forthcoming in their timeline. David wrote us up an estimate when he said he would, and it was really reasonable. We agreed to have him do the work, and before he came out he did all this research on whether we could jack up the mudroom to its original level state or if that would just introduce more problems. He even brought out an architect to examine the framing. We decided that jacking it up would not be a good idea, and we really appreciated David's transparent and thoughtful approach to making sure we had a robust, long-term solution. David was very understanding when we had to reschedule his work due to another contractor blowing through their timeline. He got the re-framing done in 2 days, was prompt, professional, and thorough. He let us know about potential changes to the estimate they came up. He kept us in the loop about where he was in the project, and was really great about making use of our existing stock of materials when appropriate. David replaced un-treated & rotting 2x4s and badly poured concrete with 6 treated posts with poured concrete footings and piers, and 3 treated 4x6 joists. He finished it up with weed-blocking fabric, lattice and rodent-proof mesh, and cleaned up the site well. He sent us photos and an invoice the evening after he was done. The mudroom is now really really stable, and we feel very confident that it will stay still. We plan to work with David for other projects that come up, if he's available!

Mr. Jones was on time and did not waste time. I walked through with him and showed him the issues to be addressed and in addition to understanding the problems, when I asked, he was able to suggest solutions. I really appreciate that he does not try to talk me into more work than I had in mind. All the work he has done has been very well done. I met with him again yesterday to go over another list of items to be fixed at the end of the month.
