Jared is a total professional. He got here at about 9 and stayed till 6. Worked on the list of jobs that I provided to him and in addition worked on replacing the garbage disposal in our kitchen. We were suspecting it was on the way out and when he went to replace the faucet in the kitchen we discovered that the base of the disposal unit was leading water. So what started out as 13 items to get done turned into 14 and he got everything done. I never had a sense he was in a rush, he simply methodically went through our list, item by item, and at the end of the day everything was done.
I can't recommend this guy any more strongly - if you want a job well done this is the man you want at your house, this is they guy you want to work with, he's just flat out outstanding.
He came when he said he was coming and even though he had a new long term job lined up he managed to find time to integrate his available time with ours. He listened to our ideas and listed pros and cons that we should consider. He just happened to be there when my computer betrayed me and talked me through the problem which is why I am able to write this review.
He is a true jack of all trades.
We had a situation in the powder room. The new vanity was more narrow then the old one. Replacement would have left an exposed drain pipe. We had an extra toe kick not being used for the vanity. He designed a cute little bench to box in the pipe which was attached to the side of the vanity. This will be used to set a wastebasket on. My husband & I are so happy with the work.
Jared was very good about cleaning up everyday before he left. He was also very accommodating and through. He always made sure we had a shower & vanity to use everyday.
After being paid for the job, he has checked in with me to see if there are any other issues or punchout items to come back and take care.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jared for any home improvement work. I was dreading the project, but Jared has been the
easiest contractor I have worked with. I hope to use him again.
Jared is personable and professional, and the quality of his work is excellent. I appreciated that he didn't mind doing what is I'm sure a very small job.
Jared, the owner of the company, did all the work for us. He was wonderful! Our job was supposed to take 3 days; in the end it took 4 days simply because we kept giving him more things to do (he was able to just continue into a weekend, so there was no break in the work), and even then, we could have used him for longer!
PROJECTOR
So, originally, the idea was to simply attach the projector wires to the ceiling/wall and cover them up with "tracking." Jared had bought a tracking kit that he brought with him. I had originally thought the tracking wouldn't be too obvious since it could run down inside a window, but because we decided to install a blind, the tracking could no longer go in the window area. So Jared suggested burying the wires behind the wall. I knew this was possible even before, but when I had asked around previously for the cost, it was more than what I wanted to spend on it. But the additional time for Jared to do it and that additional cost was less than what others had told me, so we decided to have him go ahead and do this. In the process, he realized that we had hung the projector on the ceiling straight into drywall, and with the metal mount, it was really too heavy for the drywall (which we kind of already knew). So he took a beam of plywood and built it into the ceiling, so now the projector could screw into a stud behind the drywall. Then he did some electrical rewiring in order to create a power outlet in the ceiling that the projector plugs into. (He explained that it's against code to run power cables behind the wall.) He then ran the USB and HDMI cables from the projector up through the ceiling and then behind the wall, so that it then came out near the floor where I wanted it. It's a very clean-looking solution, and I think it might be what I like best about the "new" room! (Plus, now that the projector is attached securely to a stud, my husband will no longer complain when I ask him to take it down when I have to give presentations off site.)
PAINTING THE ROOM / HALLWAY
This was pretty straightforward, though a lot of work I think, as he had to remove then reattach the electrical outlet covers and the shoe moulding from around the hardwood floors. There were also four doors in the room/hallway to paint
plus another set of french doors, as well as 2 columns.
EXTERIOR FRONT DOOR
Our house is about 11 years old, and we've never done any work on it before. So the front door looked old - the stain was coming off, some of the paint around the trim was peeling, and there was some wood rot at the base of the trim. I wanted Jared to "make it look new." Jared painted the door and trim, and also repaired the wood rot (as opposed to simply painting over it). It looks great! We also wanted to replace the door handle which was rusting, but hadn't because we thought it would mean getting a locksmith involved or changing the key. Jared told us that we could just buy a door handle at Home Depot and ask Home Depot to rekey it - my husband went out to buy the door handle, that Jared then installed, and problem solved!
OVERALL
Overall, Jared is personable, friendly, and easy to work with. He was good at coming up with solutions for problems we showed him. He shows up on time and cleans up after himself. His fees are very reasonable, and in fact, I'm guessing that the quality of his work is worth more than he charges. I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him.
His workmanship is high quality, he is very professional, meticulous and very easy to work with. We really appreciated his advise and input on how to handle certain issues that emerged during the project. The communication with him from start to finish of the project was prompt and effective.
We couldn't be happier and will definitely hire his services again and recommend him to all our friends and neighbors.
