I already had an agreement with him for a service. Then he called in and said "He does not feel right about the situation" He did not explained anything why he wanted to cancel, then he hang up on me. He seemed interested at first, complimented me for the product. But then when it was time to install he backed out.

It was a great job by Jerry Sexton and his crew at Urban Upkeep. Very friendly , professional and the cost was many thousands of dollars less than others. We are completely satisfied. Jerry offered a couple of suggestions on the project, which were very helpful and inexpensive, but he never ever tried to "up-sell " us on anything. Communication was excellent; Jerry checked with us constantly about the project and he always answered our phone calls or texts immediately. It was painless on our end and the new kitchen is great!

Everything was done carefully, professionally, and with full discussion and input from the homeowner. The builder was incredibly responsive and available to discuss the project at any point. They always left the workspace very, very clean, so it was possible to still live and even use the space during the renovation. Lots of problems came up during the process (since it is an old building) that Urban Upkeep was able to solve creatively and without complaint. A few extras and changes were not met with resistance - they sought to please and work with us in every way.

we thought it went well with what had to be done. workers were on time did what was needed to do. if anything was to be added, we were asked if we wanted the work done. it was a positive experience. the old paint had to be scraped off and a few pieces (we have wood shingles) had to be replaced. then the house was primed and painted. it turned out better than we expected. also a few places had to be caulked and some had to be nailed back on.

Contacted Urban Upkeep for an estimate on completely replacing the master bath shower. Jerry provided an estimate within a very short time for which I thought was reasonable. Jerry was also able to accommodate the need to finish the work before house guests coming to visit. On the agreed upon start date they were prompt and very courteous. Jim and Bryce made a pit stop to make over the dogs then headed straight to the job. The estimated time for the job was shortened by 2 days by the teams diligence and work ethics to get the job done. I was impressed. The finished job is beautiful! I recommend the team

It went well.  It took a little longer than thought it would.  But he told me in the beginning that they did not know what they would run into.  I have an older home.
He has also done a deck on the back of my house and it is just wonderful.  He did hardwood floors in two rooms and they are beautiful.

Jerry doesn't do any of the work himself and has 4 guys that work for him.  He expressed concern about 2 of their abilities to do the work and that he sometimes had to chase them down and follow up with them to make sure they were doing the work they were supposed to.

"Guilty as Charged! [Member name removed], sorry we dropped the ball on this. I did some research on your file and found that your project had to have slipped through the cracks during a transition period when I was replacing some of my new office staff. Try and not hold this against us forever, please allow us a second chance on one of your future projects so we may redeem ourselves. If the project still has not been completed please contact me directly at [email protected] and I will get you taken care of early this week. We would like to make things right if you are willing? I will keep Tuesday open for you should you decide to allow us to make good."

The owner came for an estimate, spent about 45 mns taking measurements and discussing options, said he'd email the estimate and I never heard back.
Response from Urban Upkeep, LLC

"(member names removed), I noticed that you left me a negative rating on Angie's List for not getting back to you. You should know that I did get in touch with you via email and I even sent you a text from my cell phone (614-507-6082). I sent an email to both of these addresses: (member information removed) at 12:23 pm on 4/21/15. I never received a response from you which I was quite disappointed as I was really hoping to land this project. I will have my assistant forward the proof of the emails to both emails again today at 9:52 AM. You should see her email address as [email protected] with the estimates attached. I formally ask that you remove this negative review from my listing since it is not correct."

The weather was getting down to the freezing point and he promised me it wouldn't compromise the quality of work. He had time to do it. They finished the job as the weather was getting bad. Everything is looking absolutely great. He came back out because a plank was coming out. He finished that yesterday. He put PVC wood everywhere wood was rotted. I couldn't do all of them because it was very expensive to do. So we did whole sections of the front of the house in one go, but nothing on the the side. He picked the PVC wood together. He power washed the stucco. He primed and painted the stucco after painting the trim and replacing the two poles that were hollow inside. He replaced them completely with new PVC wood. He then caulked and painted them as well. He did an excellent job. There were three or four places I checked where the caulking wasn't quite right. He had a young crew. They came back out and they missed the mark a little bit, but that's normal. He said he was tired of babysitting, so he came and did it himself on a cold day. He believes in doing things right the first time so you don't have to deal with it again. He's communications skills are exceptional. He was always talking with me. I have praised him continuously for his communication skills. From calling me on the phone, texting me, sending me pictures and videos of things, how he was going to do things, the diagrams. He always follows through with great quality. He's an amazing guy. I told him I've rarely met someone like that and I almost want to keep him for myself. It wasn't cheap. It was expensive work. I was surprised. I did talk to other carpenters. I didn't get any deals. There was absolutely nothing negative. He delivered. He worked with the weather and me. He told me if I had any issues to let him know. He said "don't worry, if you have any issues, I'll fix it. I'll take care of it." He collected the payment and delivered. He takes control. I was absolutely amazed. He's going to do my gutters this year and some insurance work for the roofing. He's fully certified for roof and siding work. I was very happy to find them after many mediocre experiences. They are an amazing company. He takes pride in what he's doing. It's very rare how he runs his business.
