John was referred to us by a friend when we had a catastrophic roof leak with considerable damage to our dining room ceiling in 2006. We were living out of town and had to trust John to take care of everything without us being there. The result was above and beyond expectations. We later (2009) contracted John to remodel our kitchen and family room - major effort, removing walls and soffits, rerouting furnace ducts, raising ceilings, all new cabinets and appliances, window moldings, wiring and lighting, rebuilding fireplace and mantel. Outstanding workmanship! Several years later (~2013) we had John remodel four bathrooms and our master bedroom, tearing down to studs and rebuilding everything - rerouting plumbing, adding another new fireplace, new tile showers and flooring, all new lighting, and replacing carpet with hardwood floors. John often recognized and repaired original construction flaws in the process. John is extremely easy to work with, constantly checking and being sensitive to our desires - and patiently accommodating our changes of mind as we went along. John's prices are reasonable. He personally does most of the work himself. When he does use a subcontractor for a speciality, he is always present and oversees the subcontractor''s work. Nothing is done that he doesn't oversee completely, and take responsibility for. He generally works only one project at a time so you have his full attention start to finish. He never missed a day on the job. He discusses proposed subcontractors with you before bringing them in, and they have always been outstanding. He leaves the worksite totally clean each night. We've never had a problem or call back with anything he did. He always answered immediately if I called with a question or problem. He is a joy to work with. Obviously, I recommend him highly. read more
