fine

Patrick Daughtry will be doing the painting and drywall.

It went very, very well. Patrick always promply returned our phone calls. He is willing to work around the homeowners schedule. He volunteered to work through a weekend to get the job done. Prior to committing with Patrick and actually starting the job, Patrick stayed in touch with us, and as our date got closer, he coordinated the actual start date and explained how the project would unfold.

Prompt in arriving, gave a thorough estimate, and did a good job explaining everything. We didn't go with him due to time constraints. We decided as well we are going to do more expansive work, so we will consider him in the future.

Patrick was exactly on time, both for the bid and the work. The job ended up being a little more work than initially expected although the bid was held. He did very nice work and used good quality materials, no cheaping out on 2x4's and such. He used good carpentry practices with no shortcuts. My home was cleaner after he was done compared to when he started. He was cool.

He was very polite and nice. He showed a lot of interest in our project. He was quick to respond. He got back to me right away whenever I contacted him about something. He gives good suggestions about where to look for products and ideas. He seemed to be really straight with us. I felt he was very honest about things and willing to listen to our ideas. We are scheduled to use him for our project in the future.

Installation was started and finished on time, and the floors are perfect. We are very happy with the work!

Happy To Help was wonderful. He did a great job, was very friendly and offered all kinds of suggestions but listened to us too. He did what we wanted. He was a very hard worker and I would use him again in a heartbeat.

He was reasonable and I trusted him quite a bit. I would call him back. I met him at work and I totally trust him. I like his truthfulness, I don't think he's going to be the one to sell you something you don't need unlike a lot of other places. Also, he was punctual.

From the beginning Patrick was concerned with our comfort and ability to live within the chaos of remodeling. Patrick was enthusiastic about our project from the day we met him for an estimate. He took a personal interest and was available long before we started work and any money had changed hands. In fact, Patrick worked close to forty hours for us before we even saw a bill-that we requested. He is very easy to have around. He always made an effort to clean up at the end of the day and was apologetic for what we deemed to be normal remodel mess. He had many great ideas that we incorporated and he always took the time to think through what would be best for the final vision that we had for the space. This personal touch is rare and why it is worth waiting for Patrick's schedule to open up. His hourly rate is extremely reasonable. We had no concerns leaving him alone in our home. He enjoyed changing our space as much as we enjoyed having it changed which is much more than we expected. The connection we made with him has added to our enjoyment of the space since completion. It is exactly as we envisioned done by a professional craftsman who made the whole experience an enjoyable memory. He was agreeable to our helping out with demolition & clean up. We were welcome to do as little or as much as we wanted. He was part of the team and not the leader or boss. Once the job was nearing completion it was obvious that it was running over time-wise. Patrick re-figured the final bill and took a deep cut on his labor. This was unexpected and appreciated. It is a beautiful space done with impeccable attention to detail and worth every penny and every minute of the 5+ weeks it took! We found him to be professional yet laid-back, knowledgeable without being condescending(we felt free to ask the dumb questions) and patient beyond belief. He really is as good as it gets and anyone smart enough to wait for him to be available will not regret the choice.

Pat is easy to communicate with either by email or phone. He'll get back to you almost immediately. He has brought all the tools he needs and is willing to get any additional products of your choosing. I like the way he gives any suggestions or answers questions about the most practical and economical way to do a project. He has done some extra things after completing the first job, i.e. hang some pictures, with my directions for where and how. I just had to ask if he had the time. He almost always does or makes an appointment in the near future. I would definitely have him back.

It was actually one person, the owner that did the work. He was great. I thought he was a bit easy to work with. He was very professional and reasonable, and tried to save us money when he could. He had good ideas. I was very pleased with the outcome of the work. The overall experience was a very positive one. I would rate him highly. Overall, I have had no complaints at all. As a matter of fact, we are trying to get him to do another project for us.

The project went incredibly well and exceeded the expectations of two very picky people. We've worked with Patrick on various small projects (moving a closet wall, painting, light and fan replacement, etc.) for the past year, and when we decided to redo our bathrooms, it was a no brainer to ask Patrick to help. He's incredibly sharp, works quickly, and is friendly and down-to-earth. From the beginning, we knew that we had pretty ambitious plans - moving the water wall, building a custom shower, installing a larger tub, etc. Looking back on the project now, we couldn't have done it without his advice. Patrick guided us through the project planning stage (many e-mails back and forth over the months leaing up to the project), and worked with us during the project to make sure that we were on top of everything that needed to be done. He demolished the old bathrooms, helped us to coordinate with contractors for steps like re-routing the pipes, took down the old water wall and rebuilt it (and the walls for the new shower), waterproofed, handled all of the tile work (full shower, floors and tub surround), painted and texturized the walls, and installed all of the new fixtures. Our bathrooms are better than we hoped they would be, and we know who we have to thank. Especially when you're investing in a project of this scope, getting things right the first time is a priority. Patrick never gave us any cause for concern, and some of his design suggestions are now our favorite parts of the bathroom. His tile work is beautiful - we've had all sorts of friends and family over and anyone thinking about remodeling has asked for Patrick's contact info. Overall though, what we appreciate most about Patrick are some of the intangibles that set him apart from others. We can always rely on him to give us the straight answer - e.g. whether our ideas are feasible, whether something is worth the money, etc. And whenever we get stuck, he's always working with us to come up with a solution - it's never a straight "no". Instead, he helps us come up with alternatives. Working with him is a breeze and despite all of the upheaval a project like this causes, we found ourselves missing him once the project was over. We recommend him to anyone looking to tackle home improvement projects.

Even though he didn't perform any services he was very honest with us. He said we would be better off contacting a larger operation for all the work we needed to have done. He gave us a few estimates for different routes we could take for a remodel and it was very valuable info. We will definitely call him if we have any smaller projects

We didn't actually have any work done to Patrick being booked up.

Patrick was great, and if we could give him more than an 'A', we would! We did a complete bathroom gut job. We did all of our own demolition to save some money, and then my husband worked with him for about a week. Patrick did a great, professional job and even taught us some tricks of the trade while he was at it! He tiled framed out a new medicine cabinet, recessed shelf, and put in a new ceiling fan. He drywalled, mudded, and offered to have us paint to save more money on his labor costs. The job took a little longer than expected, as it's a REALLY old house and tiny bathroom and we ran into a lot of differences in standard widths and wall movem't etc. Overall we'd literally call Patrick for anything now. He's honest and fair and if he doesn't think he can do it, he'll let you know.

We have owned several homes and have worked with many contractors. Patrick is the most considerate remodeler we've worked with. He appreciates older homes and tries to keep the integrity of the house design inmind while upgrading the home's function. He is an excellent communicator and kept us abreast of the project's progress every day. I never had to wonder 'what's happening?' as I have with other contractors. He also kept our costs down by saving a perfectly functional window. The only glitch we had was oozing floor glue (we installed composite tiles) that required multiple messy clean ups. Patrick reduced our bill by 4 hours of labor to accomodate this problem which was totally unexpected and shows how considerate he is. We will hire Patrick again. Surprisingly he was the lowest bid on this job and he was a joy to work with.

The project turned out great with very little drama or complication. Patrick was extremely easy to work with and understood exactly what we were looking for. We asked him to bring up any ideas he had as the project progressed, and incorporated most of them. His work was exceptional, and he seemed to have very little difficulty coming up with solutions to the inevitable problems that arise when working on an older home and was eager to find ways to help us contain costs. He even volunteered to refund part of the costs of the project because one aspect did not work the way he would have liked it to, even though it wasn't his fault. That offer was entirely unexpected.

My old back door was very drafty, making it uncomfortable to sit in our dining/kitchen area during the colder months. I asked Patrick if he could replace our back door with one of those newer Energy Star doors. He said it was no problem, asked me for a couple of measurements, and the direction the door opened. He then picked up a door for me and installed it. The install was a little tricky due to the depth of the walls, but he managed to make it work. He even put in some expanding foam to keep the drafts to a minimum. Everything went very well, and the new door has hardly a draft. It looks great, and he kept the work area clean. Patrick was very polite and professional during the whole job, and I would definitely hire him again.

Patrick was professional from start to finish. He came right on time and was prepared with a few potential fixes. In the course of looking at the problem, we realized that to get the smooth look that we wanted, we were going to need to go with a specialized bathtub refinishing company. Instead of trying to sell us on a new tub (which he could have installed for us), Patrick suggested that we call around and see what our options were. Even though no real service was rendered (outside of his professional opinion), we were so impressed with Patrick's character that we felt the need to post a report. Throughout the appointment, he was open and realistic about what he could/couldn't do for us. And even though he went out of his way to meet us early in the morning, he wouldn't accept payment for his help. We ended up going a different route this time, but when we need remodeling help in our new home, we know who we will be calling.

Patrick's "happy to help" tagline is exactly right. He helped me imagine a bathroom that looked like an outhouse--dark, soft underfoot, prone to freezing and lined with rough wood paneling--as a pleasant, trouble-free space. I relied on his expertise for fixtures, bought the tile and paint myself but left a lot to him to handle. The result is beautiful, conscientiously crafted, everything just right, all details accounted for. I couldn't be more pleased. Then after that, he confronted the dark underbelly, busted into a walled-in crawl space, and put in a heater and heat tape to keep the pipes warm. Discovering a stalactite of ice under the shower, he also figured out how to deal with that, and came back once more to make sure it was all right. I would entrust a lot to this kind and careful man.

Patrick was punctual, flexible and helpful in making suggestions for the project. He volunteered to do little "extras" like cut up the old sub floor and bag it for trash pickup. He also volunteered to haul other old construction materials to the local landfill with his own truck. He remained cheerful and helpful through out the project and is so trustworthy that I had no trepidation in letting have the run of our home during our extended absences. We checked his references and they are pretty much the same as what I have written. He moved here from Denver about a year ago and one woman we called there said she cried when she found out he was leaving.
