I need to revise a previous review. Jim did do excellent work. His cuts were absolutely plumb, straight and horizontal. Previously I made a statement regarding the precision of his cuts and that was only due to one cut extending outside of the area necessary to install the window. I previously stated that I would not use Jim again, which is misleading. I merely meant that, being fairly handy myself, I would feel confident enough to do the same job myself in the future after having seen how it is done. As far as the quality of workmanship, I have no significant reason for criticism. The final product is excellent, complies with code, and provides much better lighting for our future basement bedrooms than what was there before.

We hired Jim to cut a number of large diameter holes in our new house. We built a ICF (insulated concrete form) house and it was easier to drill the holes after the concrete was poured. Jim had no problems with the styrofoam. I think Jim has the experience to deal with any concrete cutting job out there. I would definitely use Jim again when the time arises.

I contracted with Barrett Concrete cutting to install two egress windows. I was only able to get one competitive bid and did find that his prices were reasonable. Having been a cabinet builder and personally done a number of construction-type projects, I tend to be a bit of a stickler on details. While I may have exacted more of myself with respect to precision of cuts and quality of work, I am satisfied with the quality of work as performed by Barrett Concrete Cutting. Besides, cutting concrete is not in my field of expertise. Jim was prompt in getting back to me regarding my project. He came and performed the work before I even got a call back from one of his competitors. To be fair, I usually move fairly decisively on things like this, so unless someone responds quickly, they are not likely to have a chance to work with me. The one source of dissatisfaction is with how quickly the work got done. Having spent some time in the contracting business, I can appreciate that there are some challenges with securing good help, and tools sometimes require maintenance/repair. Both these challenges manifested during work on my home and slowed progress some. Despite that, there were no serious concerns/time constraints for our project. Jim was generally good about communicating the timeline of the job and keeping me informed on any challenges along the way. To the best of my knowledge, he fulfilled his end of the contract quite well, even with some of the indecisiveness he had to deal with from me and my wife. Overall, I am satisfied with the work that was done and appreciate the extra light in our basement. We are well on our way to having the finished basement project that we wanted thanks to Jim.

"Owner requested special order windows that took over 6 weeks to get in. I worked on the digging and cutting portions prior to the windows getting in. Once the windows were in everything went smoothly and quickly. Both during and after the job Mr. [Member Name Removed] did not tell me he was unsatisfied at any point. This review took the elastic out of my shorts. I know my workmanship is unsurpassed by any competitor. Possibly cabinet builders have a higher threshold for rough framing? The cutting cannot be compared to, as if was level and plumb and could not be done any better. I provided top quality workmanship in my concrete cutting, framing and sealing of window. The digging was about two feet deeper than any previous window because of the high basement ceilings and code requirements. I installed about 2 yards of gravel in the bottom of each hole for a French drain. I provided a lot of free landscaping to cure prior grading problems to level a big valley in his lawn Work was completed timely. Pricing was very competitive. There isn’t anyone I compete with who can compete with my workmanship. Period. My track mounted diamond saw provides the fastest and most accurate cuts available in the US today."

I needed an egress window in my 70 year old house in Cody, Wyoming. Jim Barrett did a great job at a fair price. He even reconstructed my old knotty pine paneling around the window!

Jim was hired to put in Egress windows. In the process, he was able to repair a foundation crack that was a problem for water leaking into our basement. He is very knowledgeable and does the job right. He put egress windows in our basement and trimmed out the window on the inside. He does a great job with the french drain and guarantees his work. I recommend Jim for egress window jobs. His price is fair too.
Response from BARRETT CONCRETE CUTTING
"[Member Name Removed] was very pleasant to work for. After job was started I found cracks and a very rough foundation to work with and a crack. I notified client and we added the crack repair and a French drain as they said they had flooding previously. Client was easy to work with and paid promptly after the city’s inspection. They hired me to do two more the next year."
