Outdoor: Deck staining, Concrete repair/sealing, foundation Parging

Found John on HomeStars. Needed various outdoor jobs done. Deck staining, Concrete repair/sealing, foundation parging and painting. After making initial contact vie email, John connected with me promptly and we scheduled an initial meeting and project review. He showed up on time and was very professional. Excellent first impression! He was very clear on his proposal and provided a clearly written quote and timeline. After agreeing to a schedule, a 50% deposit was provided and work began. He always arrived promptly and was very diligent in his work. Always cleaned up the work area after each day. He was left alone many times and never once did I feel the need to be concerned. Completed the job on time and on budget! Very satisfied with his services and would recommend him without hesitation. Thank you John for job well done!

Odd Jobs, To-Do List

Hired John to do a number of small, odd-jobs around my home in preparation for selling it. He was very easy to work with, showed up on time and there were no surprises with price. I will be using his services again when moving to my new home and have already recommended him to a friend.

painting and drywalling

I had windows recently installed and needed the trims around them painted as well as some drywall where damage was done. Did the 3 quotes thing and I have to say, John, just comes across as a genuine honest person. He really stood out from the others. Scheduled a date and time and he was prompt, did a great job and was clean.

Would not hesitate to hire him for any job.

Kitchen wall repair & laundry Room drywall

I found John from PHG in homestars site. I was lucky he was able to come and see the work needed to be done and got to work on the project right away. John was professional, on time, finished the work when he said he was going to and he came to work even though he was sick (he didn't shake my hands :)). His work was neat and I would definitely recommend John. Hope he can do my kitchen as well.

Kitchen upgrade and Home paint

I hired John based on the reviews here at homestar. We agreed to meet so he can check my requirement and give a price quote. John showed up on time on early Sunday! looked at my home and in the same night sent me a very professional price quote. I hired John for a major Kitchen upgrade "Painting and New Drawers to replace my dishwasher". John arrived everyday early on time and cleaned work area every night". The final result of my paint and the kitchen is EXCELLENT. I can't be happier and totally satisfied. I would highly recommend John and for sure I will hire him back! Thanks John

Hanging Curtains, Assembling A Desk, etc.

I've been without curtains for 3 months now. Being disabled I'm no longer able to do things around the home like before. I hired John and he is now my hero! He did a fantastic job. John spent the day here doing all the curtains and rods in every room and then put together a desk I was ready to throw out it was so frustrating! I will definitely be recommending John to anyone who needs a handyman. I'm starting my "to do" list for the next time! I'll be calling John for sure.

Upgrading basement stairs

John finished my basement two years ago when my daughter and her boyfriend moved in. i called him back to make the stairs (railings, banister) safe for their baby, who is now a going concern. The work looks beautiful and i have more peace of mind. John is polite, friendly, and cleans up after himself. I would recommend him ,and will be calling him again..
