The Dugan Co Inc

John did a fantastic job repairing the drywall. The finished work came out better than expected. I will recommend the J.C. Dugan Company to anyone wanting quality work done.

It went well over a period of days because we weren't available every day but he was understanding and very professional. We waited a few weeks for him to finish another large job but we were not in a hurry and we are glad we waited. He was always on time and cleaned up after himself very nicely. We would not hesitate to call him again and recommend him to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy and hard working individual.

They did a great job on that and then asked them to continue but found they are better on small projects that are simple. His specialty is cabinet building. We had some framing work that we had him do which is very good but had to have some of it rebuilt because it was not what we asked for. He also works slow which is good for a cabinet but not cost effective for larger projects. Even though I addressed the high costs were an issue, it seem to fall on deaf ears. We also had a floor that needed to be leveled and should of been before the framing was built. this became another issue. Basically out budget went before we even got to drywall on a small frame out.

Awesome is the word I would use to describe the work done by John Dugan and his associate, Frank Zavaski. Both men are master craftsmen, who are meticulous in their work habits and finished jobs. They came when they said they would, left the work areas neat, and were extremely safety conscious. The bathroom vanity that John built for me was done exactly to my specifications, and the workmanship is superb. They truly wanted to make sure that I was satisfied with their work, and I am so pleased with the work they did in my house that I would hire them again without any hesitation.

Time and estimate over actual quote but work done well and care given.

He was very professional. He worked at a good pace and was very organized, the work was done in about half a day and we are very pleased.

I've submitted other reviews in more detail.
John is CONSCIENTIOUS and professional.  No short cuts, which may make him a bit more expensive (but yet reasonable) than the run of the mill guy,

John is professional, friendly and personable.   John's remodeling and handyman work is perfect. 
I had ordered the wrong style vanity with drawers that got in the way of the plumbing underneath the sink.  John modified one of the drawers and the center support in order for this vanity to work . . . . and it does - even the modified drawer closes smoothly.  A second man, a partner, came along to help with the bathroom remodeling and take care of all the small handyman jobs on my list.
My new bathroom is gorgeous and gleaming and everything works. All the annoying little things around the house that were broken and needed repairs are now working again.

Incredible work ethic and very thorough communication.  Earned my trust and was extremely professional throughout the course of this job.  I highly recommend John to anyone who is looking for a honest, hardworking individual whose work is top-notch.

The walls were 90 yr old plaster. An excellent job with walls looking like new and no dust anywhere!

John was able to get here quickly and he not only replaced the sump pump but diagnosed why we've had so many fail.

He emailed me all the details regarding the job along with the estimated price.   He was very flexible about the times and was on time everytime.

Used The Dugan Co. (TDCI) (John Dugan) again. -- this time for a large redecorating project.  Large living room/dining room (approx.. 600sq.ft.).  Rooms were wall papered and we wanted the paper removed (a huge job for John and his partner Frank of FZ
Sales) and the walls and ceiling painted. 
Walls were repaired as necessary after wallpaper removal.  Wall to wall carpet removed and not replaced.  John and his partner (Frank) removed carpeting, padding ? bundled and taken to our alley for Village removal.  There were beautiful hard wood floors
underneath, and John make a threshold for the 2 entrances to the rooms to transition from the halls? hardwood flooring. 
And they did some repair work on the perimeter of the hardwood floor.
Ceiling and walls painted in den/office ? approx. 250 sq ft.  A 55? Plasma TV (9 years old and weighing about 100 lbs) had to be removed from the top of a 9 foot wall and rehung.
Ceiling and walls painted in bedroom ? approx. 150 sq ft.
Under cabinet lighting replaced by John?s partner Frank in kitchen.
We are retired folks and were living in our home during the 2 weeks they were here.  They could not
have been nicer to work with.  They both were as accommodating to us as you could hope.
John is fair in his pricing and very thorough ? not to mention a genuine good guy.
John teams up with Frank of FZ Sales and Services when necessary and the price shown for this job includes time and materials for both John and Frank.
As a post script, we have been in this home for 38 years and have a lot of stuff.  As older folks we cannot do much furniture moving.  They had a lot of stuff to move and work around -- including us!

We had some annoying household problems resolved.  We had a waterfall faucet on our Jazzuci tub that looked really bad.  To replace the faucet would have cost $1,000 as the tub would have had to be removed and reinstalled.  John refinished the faucet - looks great with minimal cost.  He installed a bar in the tile wall of our shower -- it won't move for sure.  We now feel safer while showering, since we are older folks.  He repaired several holes in several walls and also repaired the wood bottom of a  large bay window that was beginning to rot.  He had done the same thing on the outside a couple of years ago when we first used him.
John is very conscientious and very fair in his pricing.  His work is also done on a timely basis.
We are very satisfied with his work and will soon have him repaint our living room, dining room, office and bedroom.  Can't give a better recommendation than that.
