I'd like to start by saying the 1 star review left on this page is so unfair, I can't believe Yelp…read moreis leaving it up. I am also a peer in the construction industry, working as an architect, and this past year has been so hectic for contractors, to expect all of them to respond right away is so unrealistic, and does NOT reflect their ability.
With that being said, I'm over the moon happy with James's work on my kitchen remodel, I can barely put it into words. When I was looking at buying this house, the kitchen was the one thing that nearly prevented me from putting on offer in. It was gross, the hot water didn't work, water pressure sucked, and the range hood hadn't been vented properly, it just went up into the cabinet. But I had faith that w/ a better design and the right contractor, we could transform the space into something real special.
I moved in to my house in the middle of April, and emailed him at the beginning of May for an estimate to demo the old counters/cabinets, install new cabinets, duct my range hood out the roof, and install the sink. He got back to me promptly, and was able to see me and the house the next day. He really listened to what I wanted, unlike some other contractors I had gotten estimates from, and his estimate was incredibly reasonable. He gave me a heads up that he'd be available end of May/first of June, which worked for my schedule fine.
James started the week after Memorial Day and seriously wrapped up all of the cabinet demo, new cabinet install, new range hood install AND the associated plumbing/electrical work within 4 DAYS!! I mean, he is literally a construction crew of one, and moves so insanely fast, while still sticking to my design plan and keeping me updated when he found something while he was working. We had to wait to finish the sink install, since the counter company was booked out 3 weeks, but even then, he was able to come back out the very next day to wrap everything up at the sink. Honestly, this space has been transformed and is now so much brighter, more modern, and my new favorite room in the house!
Thank you again James, I could not be happier!
