+ -1 moreOverall, I would not consider this contractor in the future.
Description of Work: I inquire about John Magnus Remodeling services to install kitchen cabinets and an island. It was obvious that Mr. Magnus was not interested in performing the job, which is an acceptable response due to the complexity of the project. Without sufficient inquiries from Mr. Magnus about the project, I was given a quote that was far in excess of what this project required. I cannot speak to Mr. Magnus quality of work. But my first impressions are not positive.

+ 1 moreWe've used John a couple times in the past. Once in our old house, our ceiling collapsed, and some friends from the neighborhood recommended him. John did some emergency repair work before taking time to diagnose the problem and do a permanent excellent repair job. The other time was with our new house, where he did lots of updating bathrooms, patching ceilings, and other work. Our experience this time was very satisfactory, as always. John is extremely meticulous, and very exacting in his work. He never leaves a mess, and puts things back the way they were. For most plumbing, tile, and electrical work, John subcontracts out work to people he's known for years. The result is just what we've envisioned - we have a great working space in our laundry room. As part of the bargain, I got great advice from John on various home improvement projects, and as always, his invaluable words of wisdom on life in general. If you have any issues with the work, John will return your call within several hours, and will stand behind his job. If we had other work to do in this house (built 1915) I'd not hesitate to use John again. He's very experienced in a wide variety of repair jobs, and he's seen it all. You won't regret asking him to take a look at your situation.
Description of Work: We redid our laundry room to make a sort of food preparation area. Work involved removing an old sink, scraping stone walls, applying dry-lock in a couple coats onto the walls. Then to level the floor, John used a combination of cement and plywood, so that new cabinets could be installed. He had a plumber subcontracted to remove lots of old pipes and then install the sink, and he had a counter guy subcontracted to install the counter. John also patched our bedroom ceiling where the winter rains had collapsed the plaster. He constructed a tent out of plastic sheeting and applied several coats of stuff and then painted.

+ -1 moreThese leaking windows on the second floor dripped water into our basement as well as our kitchen where the water ran out of lighting fixtures in the ceiling. John did a tidy and meticulous job removing the top parts of the windows which were rotting, installing drip caps underneath the house shingles as well as flashing, and replacing parts of the frames around the windows, as well as caulking entire windows. I strongly recommend John Mangus for his expertise, his care, and his sense of humor.
