James Whelan of Clare Home Improvement is a true godsend…read more As a first time homeowner, I called about a dozen or so local and nearby contractors for an estimate to jack up the front porch and replace the footings. It became one big headache after another. Contractors were either charging an arm and a leg or alternatively wouldn't take on the "difficult" job. Most made me feel like they were taking advantage with the price. I called James Whelan one afternoon and he was able to meet at my house that evening even though it was a 45 minute drive from where he lives. He was friendly, knowledgeable and able to communicate the scope of the job in a way that wasn't condescending or curt. Although he humorously described the toughness of the job as "not HGTV," he put me at ease with his personality and openness. Although a family emergency postponed the start date, once the work began - it barely took him and his crew a week to complete. He is such a hard worker. Even the neighbors were impressed! At our first meeting, I had a gut feeling about Mr. Whelan and immediately trusted his craftsmanship and years of experience. I really look forward to using James and only him on more upcoming projects.

We did two projects, one an interior repair, second an exterior project…read more First one went well so we figure, no brainer who we'd use. You can't let this contractor do his own thing. You need to watch his workers so they dont cut corners that are expensive later to fix. You need to get the agreement in writing, otherwise promised work will be forgotten and you will have no recourse a year later when the cut corners finally reveal themselves. No matter how much they come with a sob story, stick to half on deposit and not another cent until the project is complete and a punch list is done. This is a business transaction and his employees financial woes are not your problem. I should have trusted my gut when the siding guy was working alone and using nails, now Im having someone come by to quote how much its going to cost to tear down everything and redo it. Appears they have the skill to do great small interior projects, but cant manage employees to do anything larger. But the one big thing, get a written contract or plan on paying someone else to fix problems later.

Very professional and honest the whole way thru. They gave experienced advice and were not trying to 'sell us' things as others were doing. They showed us things that needed to be replaced and explained why in the process...and were already doing it before we even knew about it. (Doing it the right way.) Everything came out great...and actually better than expected. When the job was finished, it didn't even look like they were here for several days...everything cleaned up and taken care of. Very thankful for them and the crew. I had 3 different quotes, very happy I chose them. Writing the review, to tell you to hire them as well! Thankful for them.

He was patient and attentive to detail, taking the time to explain every step of the process to me and my father. I was nervous about not being present, but Jhei took the time to send me pictures of the damages, and walked me through everything over the phone, and gave me a fairly priced estimate. Jhei took the time to research and send me the different options of water heaters. He picked up the necessary equipment, and installed it efficiently, so my father came home to a job well done and was able to take a nice hot shower. He does quality work, was on time, and is an exceptional professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area needing services.
