I am so glad I went with this company. Brandon was very professional, easy to work with, fast turn around rate, and the quality of work was amazing. He built a huge deck around my building which looks amazing. He did all the Carpentry work in my new facility. 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

My wife and I give JBR Precision our highest recommendation! We engaged JBR to repair the cedar soffit and siding and paint the exterior of the house, including the deck. The exterior of the house had not been painted in 7 yrs and there were numerous carpenter bee holes, woodpecker holes and...

I had a horrible experience with Uncle John's Handyman service. So here’s the negative review hoping it spares someone else. The second estimate was for $8,000 and they took two weeks to get back to me. The total cost ended up being over 15,000 dollars! Almost double the original estimate...

We hired Jake Bruton and Aarow Building for a large scale addition and renovation project. Long story short, the whole thing turned into a huge nightmare. He ended up at least 35% above the initial agreed upon bid. Then he walked off the job with no warning, leaving us to become general...

Unfortunately, much of the work was not level. They were not willing to re-do work on a fence that was not level or plumb, which cost us to hire another company to fix the problems. Other work on a retaining wall was left unfinished, and they did not haul off pieces left from demolition.

Jacob did a fantastic job! He was able to get to our work quickly in his schedule which worked out so nicely because our painters were coming in the next week. He finished the work in one day and kept all the sawdust outside. We will call upon him again for any carpentry work!

They did shoddy work. There is a hole in the porcelain on the tub. This was fixed. The shower door was also wobbly and they did not fix it as I had asked in numerous emails. I was trying to get in the shower and the door came off the track and hit me in the eye. I ended up with stitches. The...

He is the most wonderful man with the most wonderful son. They do exactly what they say they are going to. They charge exactly what they say they are going to charge. They clean up after themselves. It's as if they were never there. They are fabulous. He's a Christian man and he taught his son...

This guy shows up when he says and is genuine cares about the quality of the job done. We had heard him on the radio that he specialized in flooring but did all remodeling so I asked if he did decks and he told us he had built 4 houses completely and had done general carpentry for 14 years but...
