Removal of a pergola and rebuilding an exterior door frame

John replied to my call promptly and came to give me an estimate within the hour. He started the job earlier than expected and finished on time and within budget. He is personable and easy to have in ones space. I will gladly hire him the next time I need work done.

Small Jobs

I highly recommend John. He completed some small jobs - hanging a picture, mirror and assembling a kitchen table and chair set in a very short period of time. Very friendly and professional.

Very happy

I highly recommend John to anyone looking to renovate their home. I had him put up a slat wall for my pantry, take out a door and close up the wall in a couple of different areas and his work makes my home look beautiful.
John is personable, professional, does a great job, cleans up after his work, very good price point.
I have other big projects to get done in my home and I wont go to anyone else.

Portable AC custom airflow routing, mounting hooks, shelving

John has always been excellent with communication leading up to my scheduled day, keeping me in the loop on where I am in the queue. He arrived on time and had all the tools needed (as I sent him a task list in advance).

John did excellent quality work, and at a good pace. I would never rush a handyman, but seeing someone do a quality job in a reasonable time instills confidence in their abilities. I feel completely at ease giving John a task. He asks the right clarifying questions, advice, and can then work independently for much of the time (useful if you're working from home that day, like me).

I originally found John as a highly rated handyman on the BBB, and he lives up to his reputation. He's also friendly. No attitude or chip on his shoulder.

I have already added myself on the wait list for follow-up appointments for additional work (interior painting, deck prep/staining).

Highly recommended.

Painting, Carpentry and Patching

I hired John for painting, light carpentry and patching as well as installing some trim. The results look fantastic! He was able to advise me honestly about each job and was very knowledgeable about what to do and not to do. John was very flexible with everything I needed done and went above and beyond what I expected. John is trustworthy, kind and very friendly and I would definitely hire him again!

General repairs

Our experience with John's services for general home repairs was exceptional. Throughout the entire process, from the initial introduction to the project's completion, John does quality work and was a great communicator, making him easy to talk to. His promptness in responding to our emails and arriving on time on the scheduled date was appreciated. We will definitely use John's services again in the future

Ceiling Repair

We needed to have repairs done to two places on our ceilings where there had been water damage. We contacted John because he had done a number of jobs in our house last year, and we had been very pleased with the results. Again, this time, we were happy with the work John did. He is reliable; shows up when he says he will; is meticulous in his work; and cleans up everything afterwards. A bonus is that its a pleasure to have him working in the house. Hes very personable and has a terrific sense of humor. We would certainly call him again.
