He was very good, I liked him a lot as he was very honest and I would have hired him (actually wanted to) but I had to go with IKEA in the end. I did keep his name and information and when I can use John in the future I intend to. He was great.

He was excellent. He was prompt. He came exactly when he said he would for the estimate. Then when we signed the contract, he was here exactly when he said. He cleaned up every day. You wouldn't have known he was here from when he left every day. He finished on time. We had absolutely no issues. He was wonderful. I would use him again as soon as I have a need to.

Response from JOHN A BECHHOFF GENERAL CONTRACTING

"Member, Thank you for taking the time to comment. It was a pleasure to meet you and talk about our mutual appreciation of this part of Long Island. During these difficult economic times I have tried to bring my prices down. I have to admit I am not use to hearing people say my estimate was too low. They are usually very happy about it. That being said, I can assure you it does not affect the quality of work. My only question is, is it right to give me a grade for work you did not hire me to do. Possibly, N/A would be more appropriate. John"

I contacted John Becchoff about a fairly long list of things I needed done (ceiling and drywall repair, new front steps, etc.). He got back to me right away and came at the agreed-upon time to look the jobs over, but never got back with an estimate as promised. Still, when he originally came and looked over the jobs he was professional and knowledgeable. I might consider contacting him again.
Response from JOHN A BECHHOFF GENERAL CONTRACTING

"Member, I apologize for not getting back to you. That was a particularly busy time and though it does not happen often, I was unable to get back to you. I hope you will consider my services again. John"

Great, he is an excellent painter and did a fantastic job. The finish is excellent. He researched some suede painting techniques with the paint manufacturing company and did a great job.

John is EXCELLENT. A very nice guy, very reliable and extremely good at sheetrock and repair work. He shows up within minutes of the agreed time and does a thorough and careful job. He is fast but diligent and takes care of everything, explaining it as he goes. So refreshing to meet someone like this in this area with all the the fly-by-night outfits that don't care. He even took care of a job that I found after he began, that we didn't discuss prior to the work starting, without asking to be paid for it. He is a good human being and highly recommended. His prices are great. John is the person you are looking for.

He arrived on time for the estimate. Once I had accepted his estimate he returned the very next day to begin the work. He was on time, thorough, organized and neat. He explained everything he had to do and any extras he may need to address. He returned on three subsequent days to sand and complete the job allowing time between for the area to dry. I thoroughly appreciated his professionalism and his promptness. The only additional monies were for the required insulation. I am having him return to do other work in the very near future.

As previously mentioned, Mr. Bechhoff came to see the job the evening we called. He was extremely polite and complimented our home and the area we live. He made several good suggestions, but listened to what my husband and I said, and the finished work was exactly what was described. He gave us a reasonable estimate, I guess we could have "shopped around" for a cheaper job, but the timeliness and efficiency made it well worth the few extra dollars! We are planning to call Mr. Bechhoff in the spring to replace our deck. It's such a relief when you find a competent, trustworthy person to help with these important projects.

John gave us the best estimate out of three. He arrived promptly every day at 8 and worked until 12; the job took 5 half days. He also purchased the materials and charged us only what he paid for them. We were quite pleased with his work and would gladly recommend him.
