+ 1 moreI called to get the follow up work scheduled, but he won't call me back. He just delays and says he's busy when I do talk to him. My permits are no longer good for the remodeling work, so I don't know how to get him to fix the problems now. I can't pass city inspection for the remodel without these repairs.
Description of Work: A year ago, I hired him to repair some damage from another contractor. One of the things he was supposed to repair was a motion light in my bathroom that would turn off while I was in the shower. Also, the water pressure wasn't right in the shower. He told me to get a part from Home Depot to fix it. I had to buy a whole set rather than just a part like he said. He also was supposed to fix the front door that let air and bugs in. It is only about half fixed. He said to just shut the door really hard. I have a support beam that has rotted, and the kitchen and bathroom ventilation were not properly done before, and Jake was going to fix that. Jake and I agreed that we were waiting for scaffolding and a permit from the city to fix the beam and the ventilation. Price is what I have paid so far, but he has charged me over $800 to open the wall to try and get to the beam in the wall. Jake opened up the wall, and an engineer later told me it wasn't needed. He said he was licensed for this work and then told me he wasn't and could not do it.

+ 2 moreI hired Joe’s team to finish a bathroom remodel. Turns out we had to tear out everything the previous contractor did and start from scratch. I really liked Joe and his team of professional people. I loved their happy disposition and excellent work ethics. Long and short of it, while they were here, I added additional work I wanted to be done. They showed up on time every day with smiles on their faces and if there was a problem or issue that arose, Joe was on hand and a problem solver. This was an excellent experience for me and I would hire them over again. I have had a lot of work done in my home and have had many good and really bad experiences. I would highly recommend them to other people. Joe’s relationship with his crew was really amazing and it flowed over into their work.
Description of Work: Bathroom and washroom remodel. Refurbished washroom cabinets, removed wall heaters, installed recess lighting in dining room, remodeled fireplace and did some exterior cleanup and repair.

Description of Work: I asked Jake to finish up some wall paneling and trim work. He did it, and it was OK, but I'm giving a B on quality and B overall because the trim was not entirely complete. But, I don't want to be too harsh, because the trim wasn't entirely well fit so he had to chop it up a bit. I just expected him to do the filling in of the cracks, but he told me to do it myself.

+ -1 moreJake did a great job. He knew that I had a doctor's appointment at 1:00 pm and on his arrival he quickly went to work, so it would be completed by lunch time. After he completed his tasks, he cleaned up each area where he had worked. Prior to beginning each repair, Jake gave clear communications on what he needed to do to completed each task. It is always a pleasure working with Jake and I would have no problems calling him again for future home improvements.
Description of Work: This is our second time using Jake to do repairs in our home. Jake helped winterize our home by installing new garage insulation and bottom door insulation to keep drafts out. Then h e replaced an exterior air vent cover.He installed a new sprayer for our kitchen sink and replaced an old garage ceiling light with a brighter LED garage light. He also gave us ideas for preserving our side exterior garage door from the elements.

He was late to the appointment, but he called and let me know. His work was outstanding, and and the price was great. I will definitely use him again.

+ -1 moreInitially Jake asked questions about what repairs he'd be required to make. He gave an estimate stating this was w/o seeing the actually problem. On arrival we looked at the outlet in question, Jake explained what he needed to do and quickly went to work. Jake replaced the broken electrical outlet so our washer and dryer would work! He showed me why the dryer door closing wouldn't work properly and repaired the dryer latch, but due to a broken closure part which the latch hook catches on the main body frame of the dryer, he said I would have to order it from the company to complete the repair. Jake showed me how to fix it once the part arrived. The fix consisted of taking a Philips screw driver and unscrewing two screws, realigning the new part and screwing it into place. Also Jake suggested a new electrical outlet cover and which type to buy. We found Jake. to be a true professional in his dealings with us. He cleaned up after completion of work, his service costs where reasonable and we told him we will be calling him in the near future for other tasks needing completion.
Description of Work: Jake installed a new electrical outlet in our basement for our recently purchased washer and dryer, which the delivery crew damaged during delivery.

+ -1 moreWe were pleased with the results of the jobs Jake completed. He charges a fair price. The thing we like about Jake is the fact that he has experience and is knowledgeable about many household and construction issues. He has good ideas and takes the time to communicate about his ideas, solutions and project details. He knows how to fix things, what parts are needed and where to purchase the parts. He is careful in the execution of his work. Jake has an assistant who helps him named Cliff. Both are honest, trustworthy, friendly, polite and pleasant to work with. We will definitely by using Jake's services again when needed.
Description of Work: Jake did a variety of small jobs. He repaired cracked tile grout, replaced corking and added a kick plate on our family room door, installed waterproof flooring in the cabinet under our kitchen sink, added a chair rail to the wall in a kitchen area, realigned and repaired two bathroom faucets, tightened up several recessed ceiling can lights, built a small knee wall at the top of a bedroom stairwell, and replaced a wobbly hinge on the piano bench.
