"As with any job of this magnitude in an older structure, we had a handful of surprises. They were not totally unexpected surprises, but you just can't see behind walls and into floors until you start ripping things apart. We moved everything! The toilet, tub, and sink; plumbing was rerouted and the walls and ceiling were removed. The floor joists, electrical, and old plumbing from the ghost of remodeling past were a scary mess, but Jamin tamed the whole undesirable concoction. Once we had a solid foundation from which to work we hit a few snags with delivery schedules. This job was performed during Covid and shipping was just bogged down from everything from our vanity to simple hardware. I do recommend having a predetermined schedule for fixtures, materials, and other finish items before getting started. It can really stretch out a job when the process is redirected or halted based on missing pieces to the puzzle. Since Jamin started this job quite suddenly when another job had an unexpected pause for this very same reason, we didn't have a full grasp of how quickly we needed to make significant design decisions. Between, the anticipation of the unknown, and the horrid wait time for all deliveries you have the worst of our entire experience. So, now let's move on to the fun stuff. Jamin, and a number of subs and helpers contributed to giving us a really lovely space. I actually assisted him with some demo, and framing because I have a background in carpentry. Part of me wanted to quit my office job and go to work for Jamin it was so much fun. He is a truly fine person from a hard working family with two small ones at home. My wife and I had a chance to do some of the finish work on an exposed brick wall, and a retro-fitted window. Everything blended very well in the end and Jamin had no reservations about letting us be involved. The real highlight of Jamin's craftsmanship comes through in his finish work and especially his tile work. When we searched for a contractor we honed in on Jamin because of the intricacy of tile work we could see from he pictures on Angie's List. He did not disappoint. We had a general sense of design, and were able to communicate it to him. His knack for joining corners and moving into other transitionary spaces really amplified the spirit of what we were trying to accomplish. Jamin's original estimate was considerably lower than another we had received. He also planned on a much more involved project than the other folks. In the end, as we were informed, some additional costs did come up. We felt like some costs could have been avoided ultimately but overall the job was completed for much less than others had predicted. The job length was about 6 weeks and this too we thought could have been shortened with a bit more understanding on our part for how things flowed with deliveries of fixtures etc. It has been several months since the completion of the job and my wife and I still find ourselves just standing in the space admiring the craftsmanship and beauty of what Jamin was able to pull off. We are grateful for his time and professionalism. Not only would I hire Jamin again, I count him a friend and brother in Christ!
