Jim Long, owner of Long Lasting Construction, just completed work for us, involving replacing plumbing and rebuilding a portion of a cement floor (in which the piping was embedded) that was in a room covered by a fine imported Italian wool carpet. There was a leak in the plumbing that caused damage to the cement and the underlying wood platform supporting it - quite a mess, and quite a problem. We wanted someone we could trust to fix what was a fairly complicated flooring substructure, and in a way that would do no harm to our cherished carpet. Jim had done a lot of work for us in the past, and there is no one we would trust more than him to do this job. Looking at the finished work, it is excellent, as always.
Jim is a true craftsman, and has an extensive understanding of all aspects of construction (he's been in the business for 35+ years), including wall and flooring structures, plumbing, electrical, etc. He works with his nephew Adam, also a craftsman trained by Jim, and so when you call him to do a job, it is him and Adam that do the actual work (and not some other crew to which the work is farmed out). You see Jim from start to finish: from the initial assessment, during the actual work, to the final look-over/evaluation. He is honest, reliable, extremely knowledgable, and very reasonable in how much he charges. He is a total professional who has the highest standards for top quality workmanship. After many years of knowing Jim and all the great work he's done for us, we consider him a good friend and greatly value our relationship with him.
If you need someone to do any work in your home, I most strongly recommend Jim without hesitation, and with complete confidence that you will be happy and satisfied with his work! read more
