KIRK POWERS – POWERS BUILDING IMPROVEMENT

About us

I do all the small jobs that no one else wants to do. I specialize in small building improvements. I suggest that you make a list before I come over. That way we don't forget to do something that you really wanted done. I work by the hour and scratch things off your list rather quickly.

The removal of my old mailbox and installation of a new mailbox went very well.

I called Kirk Powers who came highly recommended by a friend who found him on Angie’s List and left my information and a description of the job but never got a return call. After several days I called again and left a second message. This time I asked for a courtesy call back if this was not something he did or with a recommendation and again no call back.

Mr Powers came and looked at our current door installation and the new doors we ordered. He determined he would need some additional materials for installing the new doors (our home is 65+ years old.) He went and purchased the material and installed the entry door. Upon unboxing the storm door, it was apparent we were missing some parts. Instead of calling the factory for the missing parts, as the manufacturer advises, he went back to the store where we purchased the doors, and was able to get them to give him the parts from their in stock doors. He was able to return the next day to finish installing the storm door. One thing I was not looking forward to was having to repaint the interior wall after the trim had to be removed for the installation. I was totally amazed that he was able to get the trim off without chipping up the paint, and reinstalled it EXACTLY. The wall doesn't need any touch up around the trim at all!!! What a time saver that was for me. Mr Powers is very meticulous and extremely neat. Everything was completely cleaned up when he left. He even removed the stickers off the door windows. We will definitely be calling him for our future handyman repairs.

Kirk is professional, punctual and honest. He does outstanding work every time. His rates are very reasonable. I would use him every time for work around the house. My only regret is that I did not find him 10 years ago.

Kirk has done several odd jobs around my 100 year old house. He is knowledgeable, punctual, and cleans up after himself.

Mr. Powers showed up on time. The door has been a challenge since I have lived in this home. Mr. Powers was the first to ever do the job and make it look as if the door belonged to the property. He admitted to it being a first time seeing something like this, but that did not stop him from completing the job. He also was able to fix a sliding drawer in the kitchen. I was very pleased with the work and the cost

The company was called more than several times. According to their ad, they do the work that other contractors dont do. However, NO ONE RETURNED THE PHONE CALLS. Really????  I guess they don't want any additional business...

Kirk did a fantastic job on our bedroom remodel. He replaced the ceiling fan, installed custom closet shelving/drawers, installed molding for the accent wall, and put in a barn door. He had to get creative with a couple of snags that arose, like modifying the size of the barn door slider, and he was always able to come up with solutions. His work is excellent and he works very quickly so it was done in less time than he estimated. The cost was less than expected because he charges an hourly rate. I was very pleased with the end result and he's very fair with his pricing. He's also professional, dependable, and efficient. A rare find! I will definitely use him again!

He responded so quickly that we were not even home when he came and took care of it. We left with the downspout lying on the ground (satellite cable still attached), and came home to find everything neatly reconnected and barrel stored as though nothing had ever been wrong.
