Get matched with top subcontractors in Geneva, OH

"We worked with John Desborough (Desborough Construction) to finish our basement, including building a custom wood bar with plumbing and cabinetry, a matching wooded booth, and a half bathroom. This was a big project and it was important to us that the work was done right, so we interviewed three contractors. John stood apart from the competition. He spent a significant amount of time speaking with us to understand our goals, and offered suggestions and advice on how to accomplish our vision and improve our design. John’s proposal contained significant detail compared to others. We selected him because it was clear that John understood our goals and was capable of getting the work done right and within budget. We understood exactly what was included in the scope of work and knew there would be no surprises. John did a great job of communicating throughout the project and there were no unanticipated delays. He and the Desborough Construction team worked quickly and kept the project on track. John clearly takes a great deal of pride in his work. For example, although we didn’t specify that the bar top had to be one solid piece of wood, John knew that the bar was important to us and that a solid top would look best. To accommodate the lengthy bar top (which was constructed off-site), John cut a hole in the drywall of the basement stairway in order to get it safely down the stairs, installed the bar, and repaired the drywall during the same day. We couldn’t tell it had ever happened! Throughout the project, John went the extra mile to ensure that our expectations were exceeded and that we were extremely happy with the finished product. We feel lucky to have found Desborough Construction and John will be our first call for any future home improvement projects."

"He was great, cleaned up, showed me the birds nest as he pulled it out of the dryer duct. Very professional."

"Jaimie was great. He installed paneling, did some minor plumbing, fixed outside gutters, installed a door, and mostly installed kitchen cabinets, sink, and more. He cares about his work and it shows. He is a good man, and we enjoyed having him around as well! Highly recommended."

"The whole process went great from the time that I called John to come for an estimate through completion of the job.   He always called back immediately and was always on time which is very important to me when dealing with anyone.  When John came to look it over and give me the estimate, he also gave me lots of pointers on how to deal with preventing the wetness coming into my basement and how to check if my downspout drains are working before putting the new downspouts into them.  The morning the crew came to start the roof, they showed up on time and got immediately to work with ripping the shingles off and the new roof was in place by around 3:30 that afternoon and the guys were there putting the gutters on the house.  Everything was completed and cleaned up by about 5:00.  The whole crew works very efficiently, gets the job done, everything looks great and I couldn't be happier with all of it..  I would definitely use them again and recommend them.

"One of the owners came out with samples of the windows to show me what options I had.   He was very knowledgable and professional.   The only complaint I have is that they didn't mention when they replace the outdoor window screens that they don't replace with a full screen unless you ask.    So when my windows were done I was surprised to find I only had half screens.   The other thing is that they don't mention that the installers are subcontractors and not employees of the company.   Despite these two things the man was friendly and professional. 
The day they came to install the windows was when I found out that the installers were subcontractors and that no one from the company would be there that day.  This has taught me a lesson to specifically ask that questions of anyone that I hire in the future.  They could not answer my questions about the half screens saying that I needed to follow up with the company.   One of the windows size was not ordered correctly so I was told it would have to be ordered and would take a few weeks.  This was after the old window had been taken out.   Most of the windows were installed well.  But a couple of them had knocked off plaster on the inside.   I was told that they wouldn't fix this, that I would have to fix it myself or hire someone to fix it.   So I had these chunks out of the sides of my windows inside the house.  The caulking was very sloppily put on at the last minute.   Later when opening and closing the windows I found that one of them wouldn't close properly.   I called and they said that I would have to push down hard to close until the window wore itself in.  
I asked about the screen when I finally talked to the owners again.  He said that I would have had to specify at the time of the initial visit if I wanted full screens or not.    He said to do it now it would be an extra expense since they half screens were already installed.   I would have specified if he would have mentioned that they were only doing half screens at the visit and or on my order paperwork.    The screens fall out of the track every time I move them.
Overall I would say that these issues could have been prevented and were just sloppy work of the contractors and overlooked by the company as long as they were paid.  When I pay someone to replace windows I expect them to be replaced and leave the structure as they found it.   To damage and leave chunks of wall missing and expect the customer to handle it is not professional.  Especially when I am sure that causing chunks when pulling out the old window is very common.   
I would never use this company again.

"Work was done over 2 days. Price was comparable to 2 other quotes. We went with him because his written estimate was more detailed than others and he got positive reviews from his references. We were very impressed with how the fascia was wrapped. It looks great and will no longer require painting or any maintenance. Neighbors stopped by and asked for Duane's contact info since he did such a great job. Duane was always VERY pleasant on phone and answered all of my questions with professionalism. Would recommend him to anyone looking for gutter replacement or having your gutter fascia wrapped with aluminum. Seems to be their specialty."
