He responded right away, gave a good estimate and we had him do the remodel. Work was done in the time he estimated and for the price he quoted. Quality of the work was excellent and he was able to handle all the little (and big) issues that one encounters in an old house. Very satisfied with all his work and hope to get him to do more this year.

George started working on various interior projects a week after we moved in. He worked a solid two weeks. He started off by doing upgrades and repairs to our three bathrooms. He then replaced ugly carpeting on two sets of stairs and replaced hardwood stairs. This included staining and and putting two coats of polyurethane on the stairs. What was once a major eyesore is now beautiful, to say the least. George is very professional and does solid work. Even better than that his prices are fair. We like him so much that he is coming back in a few weeks to rebuild our deck and put in a patio. I would recommend George for almost every household fixup issue. I am so happy that he was recommended to us!

All started out well with Michael Bragg, as he returned my inital email, and came out for an…read moreestimate quite quickly. I walked him through the job I wanted to have done, which was redoing the exterior trim on our house around our three garage bays and well as some of the front sections on our house in PVC board. I would also have him install a ceiling fan and Nest thermostats. He came, spent a good amount of time at the house and supplied an estimate for the job. He seemed like a decent person and I enjoyed talking with him and as no other contractors had even retuned my calls (I called 4 others in the area). I was very clear with him that I wanted the job done right, and done once (something I repeated to him many times while he was working on the house as well, and he said this was how he worked). I gave him the job.  Upon arriving, I had decided to expand the job to the entire front of the house, as he had told me he had some time between jobs, and I figured it would be best to do it all at once. I asked him for a rough estimate, and as it was reasonable, I moved forward. As he started pulling up the trim, he found some areas of water damage, which delayed the project about day. You can't not fix water damage, so the delay was understandable and by end of the second day, all the damage was repaired.  That's where it all when downhill. After this point, progress was slow and I wanted to see what was going on. He gave me a number of excuses for why pieces were't done yet, and among those was the fact that one of the garage bays was a different size than he was expecting, and he had already cut the material and would need to remeasure and cut again. I was quite astonished by this, but thought I'd wait to see how he billed for his error. After this, I decided to work from home as many days as possible to keep an eye on him and his team. Following that, his team (of 5 people now working hourly at $400 each) had issues with the cold, started packing up at 2:30 and were gone by 3. I was charged for the full day for all workers. I should note here that as I was talking to him before the job, he said he worked from 8 to 5 and was the kind of person to make sure the person to be thorough and clean up after the job every day. Every day, his entire team was packing up before 4, and were gone at 4 on the dot. Michael himself was always there at or before 8 and often stayed after 4 to chat with me, but this was usually as I asked him questions about the job as I had a number of concerns. At the end of the first week, I was watching him team taking apart the siding, with one person particularly struggling with the removal.  He nearly ripped off part of the roof, and damaged some of the rain guides (sorry, I don't know the actual term for what this piece is) in the progress. Another working was replacing siding, but doing so at an angle.  I spoke with Michael and told him I did not want either of these people working on the house anymore. He understand and agreed, and told me they weren't usually on his team. On week two of the job, I told him I needed him to finish up by the end of the week, as I would be leaving town and the job was getting more and more expensive, as he decided he would start working hourly and would need to order much more material than expected (even after buying more material when I expanded the job on day one, and in the end, he didn't have enough material to do the remaining part of the job - I did end out with hundreds worth of leftover material, though the wrong size to finish the primary portions trim I needed him to complete.) Week two was supposed to be his remaining team of 3 (something he confirmed on Monday), plus one person coming back to do a high ceiling fan and thermostats that were itemized on the original estimate. He said he would be able to complete the job by the end of the week.  Throughout the job, I did tell him what needed to be done, and that if he was unable to, to let me know so we could make a gameplan to do the most important parts first, and wait on the rest. Every day I checked in on him and all was on track.  As I mentioned earlier, I constantly reminded him that it needed to be done right, not fast - which needed to be reiterated after seeing a lot of cracked siding, misaligned siding, damaged elements and his team working slow).

Showed up quickly. We walked around the jobs we wanted done. He lives around the corner from us."We…read morecan easily get it done this summer before it even turns cool!! " Said he would get back to us with an estimate. That never happened. I asked if he could point me towards the sliding glass door he recommended so that I could do the job myself.

I had the pleasure of having Silas and Ivan from I-Van-Go contracting work on my home over the past…read moreweek and I don't have enough good things to say about them. I recently moved into a home with a leaky skylight and ultimately needed an entire new roof (just what you want to hear when you move into a new home, right?). I know that Silas and Ivan had installed siding and all new windows into this same home around 8 years ago and did a fantastic job, so obviously it was a smart decision to hire them again to fix up the roof and skylight. Ivan was quick to respond to the first inquiry, and Silas came out to look at the roof and skylight pretty much the next day. I was so relieved that they were able to fit us into their busy summer schedule so quickly when I noticed that rain was coming through my ceiling onto my brand new furniture (!!!). They took the time to go through exactly what needed to be done to fix the leaky situation and were able to provide a very reasonable estimate. Knowing nothing about general home repairs, it was so great to have their input and expertise to make things less stressful overall. Once we moved forward, they came to get all the necessary measurements and got all of the supplies right away; everything happened so fast, it was great! They showed up on time every day and the whole job was done in 3 days; I have to give them even more props since I understand that the whole roof was pretty much disintegrated. A representative from the company that manufactures the sky light that was installed came out to the house after Silas and Ivan had installed it and definitely made a point to say that their installation was completely flawless. I know the installation was no easy task for them since they ran into a swarm of ants and mold while removing the original skylight (I felt pretty terrible about that) but they definitely took the time to fix the problems instead of just taking short cuts and masking the problems with some degree of humor, which I appreciated. There is absolutely no question that they have strong attention to detail. I am now happy to say that I have an amazing, functional skylight and beautifully shingled (and dry!) roof, and I owe all my thanks to Silas and Ivan. The whole exchange was great; they are very professional and clearly know their stuff. In addition to being "good at what they do" for lack of better phrasing, it's very obvious that they actually take pride in going above and beyond to do things the right way (the first time), which in my opinion is invaluable. I mean, if you're going trust people to make improvements to your home (probably the biggest financial investment anyone can really ever make, yes?) then I think it's important to find the right people who actually want to do and CAN do an exceptional job. That's pretty much I-Van-Go in a nut shell. As an added bonus to this, they really are just overall nice, down to earth guys and it was great having them around. I would recommend them to anyone for any household contracting needs, and I can say without a doubt that I will not call on anyone but I-Van-Go for any of my future contracting needs (of which I have no doubt that there will be many!)
