I called George and he agreed to meet me at my house on Saturday morning at 9 am to evaluate the job. The job involved repairing water damage to the molding and door jambs of 4 large exterior French doors. More complex than it appears. I could tell that George knew how to make the repairs. He went to Home Depot and bought the appropriate supplies for which I reimbursed him.
George is prepared to take on any carpentry task. Over the course of making the repairs, he retrieved an extension ladder, reciprocating saw, miter saw, table saw, table, and an air compressor with pneumatic nailer from his non-descript white van. He left the work site cleaner than it was before he arrived.
This was not an easy job. I appreciate George making the repairs in the hot morning and afternoon sun. The next time I have any carpentry needs, I will again ask George if he is available to help.
responded promptly, came around to discuss the options and prepared an
estimate. When I decided to proceed with the work, he was willing to
help me select and transport the materials and was able to provide a
great deal of helpful advice. The job was begun at the agreed upon time
and completed on time as well. Mr. Harper was prompt, courteous and
professional at all times. He made sure he understood my requirements
and was willing to be flexible and accommodate my work schedule. He is a pleasure to work with.
His work quality was fine, however, but he had no people skills (at least with me).
We were impressed with George's honesty for not trying to over-inflate the job. He seems like an honest man doing an honest day's work. We will definitely be calling him back for other jobs we have around the house.
I really appreciate his kind attitude.
I thought I needed about six ceramic tiles replaced in my laundromat, so George came to the laundromat, and phoned me an estimate of $300 - which might seem high at first glance, but is actually a reasonable price for a "piece work" job like this.
My business closes at 11:30PM, so George came in on a Saturday evening to do the work in time for the employees to close on time, and the adhesive and grout could cure overnight before a busy Sunday. After getting into the job, he found that several tiles surrounding the six I had wanted replaced were loose and should be replaced too. He replaced 13 tiles for the same quote he gave me for replacing the original six!
The quality of the work was outstanding, but maybe more importantly, George did the right thing without saying a word. This is an honorable man who I will trust in the future with additional work, knowing I won't have to look over my shoulder to be sure I'm being treated fairly.
