I contacted James Harry for some home projects based on a posting on Nextdoor and the fact that he was local to the neighborhood.
We had him remodel a sunroom at our house which has a historic property designation. The sunroom and windows were more recent construction (30 years ago) when a previously exterior space was enclosed. We initiated the project to address some exterior wood rot in the windows and wanted the improvements to better complement the historic character of the house.
The project entailed removing old shake shingle wall siding, installing new modular linoleum flooring, installing drywall and wood wainscotting, trim work, and painting. Notably, the project included new custom-designed windows with divided mullions to compliment the craftsman character of the rest of the house. Gustavo, an experienced contractor, oversaw details of the project.
James is starting out as a contractor and has a network of family/friends that are skilled tradespeople. I was originally concerned about the newness of the company. But James claimed to have a license and insurance. And my honest opinion is that he is working harder to please clients than perhaps more established contractors/handymen.
We were very pleased with the quality of the work, James' responsiveness, and the value of the work. Our experience in a time of high demand for home improvement contractors is that there is some serious price gouging occurring. We felt James was very fair and reasonably priced for the work done.
James and company made sure we were satisfied with the project and did not quibble about some minor adjustments we made or that we had some decision inflections (deciding on paint color, etc.)
I plan to use the company for future projects such as bathroom improvements and drywall repair. I highly recommend James Henry, particularly to my Mountain View neighbors. read more
