Can't say enough good things about working with Jason. The work was beautiful. For about what it would have cost me for high-end cabinets from a big box store, Jason built this very long vanity to my specs. He was extremely helpful in suggesting a configuration that would work. This vanity is probably the nicest piece of furniture I own now :-) He also built a very large full length cabinet with mirrored door for the same space. Easy to work with. Very fair pricing. A final product that is really beautiful. I'll be back!

I worked with Jason to re-surface the existing oak flooring in my living and dining area.  It had been stained a different color than the rest of the home.  Also the finish was starting to where off.  It took 3 days to do and everything went as stated in the estimate instructions.  It was expensive but this was do to the type of chemical that had to be used on the floor to match the bedroom area.  I had a lot of questions before and during the process and Jason was patient with all of them.  I would hire him again.

Jason was the 5th flooring contractor we contacted and immediately I knew we were dealing with an honest professional. I am a building contractor myself, but I did not know a thing about wood floors. After educating myself from reading books in the library to visiting (what seemed liked) hundreds of websites, I finally felt comfortable enough to speak with a flooring contractor. When Jason visited, he arrived when he said he would (first sign of professionalism). In seeing the floors, a few areas had dog/cat urine from the previous owners. During my research, I had read that this was particularly hard to get rid of, even with a lot of sanding. Jason was the ONLY contractor that forewarned us of this and explained that no matter what he did, he would probably not be able to get those stains out. Only one other contractor mentioned the stains, but was ?overly? confident that he would get them out. This ?other? contractor measured my house and returned a quote of 1,675 sq ft at $3.00 per sq ft for the ?regular? stuff and $3.50 for the Bona Traffic (an awesome water-based polyurethane). After Jason measured he said he doesn?t include the space the walls take up because there is no flooring under the walls that will be refinished. Jason?s estimate came up at 1,500 sq ft and said he only likes to use Bona Traffic because it works so well (something that my research had confirmed), but he only charged $2.50 for the Bona Traffic (an entire dollar cheaper than this other contractor). Jason educated us on how wood floors ?breathe? and how they are affected by moisture (all of which was confirmed in my research). The other contractors just wanted to give me an estimate and go. We contracted with Jason and I feel we made the right choice. Jason explained everything he was doing every step of the way and after each stage had us come by to inspect before he moved on to the next stage (I was very pleased with this). When Jason finished, the floors looked absolutely magnificent. I have referred Jason to several other people and will keep his number embedded in my phone. Moreover, those pet urine stains? while they did not fully come out (as Jason said) they were minimally visible and you have to ?look? for them to notice. I am very pleased with Jason and his business practices.
