I had a long list of jobs to accomplish this year. I started in April, contacting different contractors regarding my needs (gutters, fence, deck, doors, windows, etc). After the very difficult winter we had, good companies were extremely busy helping those struggling with winter damage ... thus delaying summer jobs. Many contractors came for estimates ... most never sent back estimates or if they did, their prices were crazy ... and most weren't interested in doing the work as my family preferred (instead of our choice of doors, windows, needs of the deck and fence ... THEY would tell us what was best for us, etc). I found Sean through HomeAdvisor, and he came out to meet with me about the fence and the deck, and I received his estimate when he said it would arrive. I then became overwhelmed with the volume of other contractors ... calling individuals to do each individual job. Sean checked back with me in a few weeks ... at which point I had changed my mind regarding the deck design and learned that he could also help me with the kitchen window and living room bay window replacement ... replacing the two pedestrian doors in the garage (one with a dog door) ... and the gutters. He sent me a new estimate that was very reasonable. His wife Laura handles the office part of the business, and she is a delight to work with. She calls when she says she will, she handles the permits, the scheduling, everything that doesn't include a hammer! Sean gave me a schedule of his work, and he stuck to it. Many of the days were in the 90's, and I felt badly for his working in the high heat, but his work ethic is unending. (He reminds me that he grew up on a farm, and 90 is nothing compared to how hot it got on the farm!) I am a morning person, and loved hearing him start up early. He is honest and hides nothing. He stops periodically during the project to make sure that what he is building, is as we envisioned it. He works quietly and cleans up after his work each day. He works to make the most out the job without spending the most amount of money possible. Sean has this ability to listen to our needs, and then create something that not only meets our needs, but exceeds them. I had concerns about the gutters ... and the deck had specific needs because of dogs, neighbors, and a hot tub. Everything Sean did, greatly exceeded my expectations. It was very exciting to come home from work each day, and every day I was blown away with how amazing his work was.
