Update 8/17/18: Once again, Justin Bowling came in and did a fantastic job for us. We needed our…read moretub and shower wall replaced as well as drywall, interior door, and brick work done. Not only was Justin the most reasonably priced out of all the estimates we got, but it only took around three days of work to do everything. Justin is very friendly, honest, and hardworking, and we are absolutely thrilled with the work he completed. If you need any work done, I can't recommend him enough. 1/30/18: I needed drywall, trim, and paneling replaced after a plumbing issue. I received a response from Justin within minutes of requesting a quote on Yelp. He was able to come out, give us an estimate, and get the work scheduled relatively easily. I thought he did a fantastic job. Justin was very polite, and did a great job explaining what he was going to do before he did it. Best of all, the final total came in under what he quotedMy fiancée and I were very pleased and will definitely be calling on Justin the next time we need something done.

When I gave them the size being 20" x 42" which equates to 5.25 United feet as they define it, they replied with the price of $62. What they really meant is a dollar per unit inch because 42 inches +20 inches equals 62 inches. Since that is more than the screen is worth, I have declined their services. I can actually buy a whole new screen and a frame for that price. Units make all the difference. Buyer beware to make sure they're both talking about the same thing.

My wife ordered a Bedder Way murphy bed for her office so that we could have a bed for when company…read morecomes, but she needed something that would not be in the way when using her office, so this was the perfect solution. I was a bit overwhelmed when it arrived because it required a fair amount of assembly and I've had bad experiences in the past; not from this company but with other products. Oftentimes products that require assembly do not come with good clear instructions. Or the parts are poor quality; threads strip, things break when you try to put them together, etc. I also don't have a great deal of patience when trying to work through projects like this because of lack of customer support or proper instruction. In the case of our Bedder Way bed, however, I was pleasantly surprised. It was still a bit of a project, as it took me over 3 hours to get it all together, although I was working at a somewhat slow, methodical pace as I followed along with the instructions. Whoever wrote the instructions deserves a Pulitzer prize because they could not have been more clear. Everything was explained in such a way that there was no confusion about how things were going to fit together. Parts were all clearly labeled with photographs. The instructions were careful to point out what the user needed to watch for before proceeding to the next step. Adequate warnings were given along the way, such as needing at least two people to lift the frame into place when mounting it to the wall and making sure you have it securely mounted to studs in the wall, or have another method that is equally secure. The quality of the wood and all the individual parts were top notch. I can't believe that such a project came together without me getting frustrated with the process at any point.

I'll try to explain this "Not Good" rating as briefly as possible. If there was an option for…read more"Sucked" it would be more appropriate. In short, this man took my $2000 deposit, and over nearly two years (pre-COVID), failed to complete a single task in the contract. I asked for my money back and sent a demand letter. Dave gave excuses such as other jobs running over, personal injuries/limitations, family health issues, etc. He complained about how many times he had to come to my house to talk about the plans. While I admit that I did have an evolving vision that sometimes needed a face to face discussion, most of his trips were for his benefit, not mine (e.g., had to re-measure several times and even asked me to take measures to send). He stated that his right to keep the deposit was based on work already done. I never saw anything done. He also tried to withhold some of my items as "collateral" and in legal terms, that's called theft. I eventually had to make a trip to his workshop to pick up my property. I cannot speak to the quality of Dave's work, but I can share with you that he took advantage of someone in a state of grieving. I felt bad for each of his reasons as to why he couldn't finish the project because I was in a fragile state. In hindsight, I was manipulated. Dave may respond to this with unsubstantiated excuses. Near the end of my correspondence wit Dave, he sent me a final invoice that was $4000 over my quoted price stating that the job had caused him extra work and travel that was not anticipate. Again, I share with you that he NEVER DID ANYTHING in my house. Please choose a different carpenter to save yourself some time and money, and some very likely heartache.

My story with Mr. Window is a little more complicated and drawn out than atypical jobs…read more I signed the contract to have windows and 2 doors installed in 2020. During that time frame between Dec 2020 through July 2021, I went through a divorce, caught long term COVID and wasn't able to work from November to March, and injured my back at work causing me to retire early in May 2024. I remained on disability until May when I retired. Luckily, because of lack of knowledge on Joe's behalf, the front door was incorrectly measured and the bay windows were unable to be installed as they "needed a header" which Joe was going to charge me an additional $4000. I informed Joe I wasn't going to pay the extra money as I had asked several times during the consultation visit if bay windows could be installed. Joe confirmed they could. Joe eventually asked me to pay half , which I reluctantly agreed to. My finances became a struggle so I had to inform Joe I couldn't complete the project at that time as I didn't have the money to pay. We worked out a monthly payment, while it wasn't much, it was at least a good faith showing that I was trying. Finally in the fall of 2024 I was able to move forward and complete the install of 2 bay windows. The door had been written off as undoable. During this time period, I had to have one window repaired, a back door looked at (which is still not fixed and is way out of adjustment), trim around the window and doors (inside and out) missing or has blown off, windows that leak air terribly, and siding that has come loose. To Joe's credit, he was somewhat patient about the delay (what could he have done besides taken me to civil claim court which I had no money to pay him anyway). However, I asked for Joe to come out and do a walkthrough, which was declined as he was "too busy". The bay window project took from the spring of 2024 to fall of 2025 to complete (and is still not properly completed). I called the office and spoke with Andie (who is a very sweet and friendly lady that does her job well), about the issues. The siding was reported to them back on January 19. It was their choice to wait until it warmed up to do the work. Now, Ol' Joe is wanting to charge me $250 the first hour/$199 an hour thereafter, to fix what he couldn't get done correctly in the first place because "their warranty is only for a year after install". Keep in mind, Ol' Joe hasn't spoken to me since he collected the money. He has poor Andie do his dirty work. I would be very very cautious using Mr. Window. Ol Joe can't keep installers because he treats them so poorly and is so difficult to work for so who knows how many installers you may have on your job. He doesn't stand by his products or is labor. If you have a problem and it's out of his timeframe, you'll be paying him big money to fix his mistakes. I will never do business with Mr. Window again. Go with a more reputable and customer oriented company.

I'm very happy with the results, especially the large walk-in in the master. The young man who measured, wrote the estimate, answered my questions, and performed the install (I wish I could remember his name) was very prompt and professional. He had diagrammed layouts for each space (the master closet is huge and had two built in dressers and multiple shelving units, as well as tall and short rods and a two big shoe racks), and I received the diagrams in 24 hrs. He was also very patient as I delayed a decision until I could research materials and costs. I believe he is the owner. I'm glad I went with Closets, Too. The closets and pantry are beautiful. I highly recommend.
