I purchased this service through an Angie's list deal. Once I was able to get in touch with John he was very responsive and had a drywalling job done in about 8 hrs total (over 2 days). This was a relatively small job, and I appreciated the responsiveness and quality of work despite its small scale. I had a lot of trouble getting other contractors and handyman services to respond and agree to do this smaller scale job. The ones who did respond provided estimates that were 2-3 times that which John had charged. In the past I have had numerous difficulties finding quality work for smaller jobs, so it was reassuring to be able to get this job completed without extra hassle or expense. I would certainly utilize John again for a job of any scale, large or small! He was excellent!
Description of Work: Drywall and drywall finishing.

It went very well. John and his son Brian were here on time, called when they were on the way, were couteous and interested in the job. The only thing we couldn't complete was a sink installation that presented some challenges we chose to defer.

Custom window replacement. Removed the old windows and installed 5 new ones in just over a day. Required pre ordering if the custom sizes, which came in fairly quickly. Required mortar around the new windows to hold in place. John and his crew did a great job. Again his communication was excellent. This is the second job he did for us and I would hire again.

I had bought two Saferacks garage organizers from Costo that needed to be installed. Plus, my wife wanted to switch out all the bathroom faucets from the stock builder faucets to the Moen faucets she likes. I had contacted John two weeks prior to the date of the work, and he was very responsive. On the day prior to the work, he called me to ask for the type of work that I needed done, so he can bring the right set of tools. Each Saferack organizer is 8 feet long and 4 feet deep, so John was meticulous in measuring and letting me know where the boundaries of the organizers were going to end up. I had originally asked him to install the organizer right against the far right corner of the garage, but it turns out that the organizer frame would then obstruct the window and window blinds so he made a minor adjustment to account for that. The final install looks wonderful, and I can't wait to finally clear up my garage clutter, so I can finally park my car in the bay. For five bathroom faucet replacements, both John and his coworker were super efficient. They were able to replace each faucet in about 20 minutes, and they were also very good at cleaning up after the replacement. PS: I used two Angie's coupons (for 4 hours of work), and I paid for the extra hour of work as total work time was 5 hours.

Elliot was very pleasant to work with and seems to have done a fine job. He spent a rather long time in the hot attic and was very pleasant about the conditions there. He was careful to confer with me about the with the placement of the lights. His son did a very nice job with the wood trim. He checked with me before spending time doing something with the trim that is not routinely done but would be more aesthetic and take more time.
Description of Work: He brought his son to work along with him. The son basically installed. quarter round trim in two small bedrooms rooms while Mr. Elliot installed lights in closets for us. They put bars across a basement window and Mr Elliot advised us about another window. They each worked 2 hours as contract for $125.00 and then charged 50 dollars each for each of the two additional hours it took to finish..

Everything went well. John called me when he said he would. When he called, he was prepared to set the installation date. He came when he said he would come. He called well ahead of time to state that he would be a little late. When he came, he was very professional. They ran into a little problem when installing one of the toilets but John went to the hardware store and got what he needed. The job ran a little over the time slotted so I had to pay an extra $50.00. It was worth it. He even called the next day to make sure everything was OK. i will definitely use John again.
Description of Work: Installed 2 new toilets.

I was very happy with John's work, from beginning to end. His big deal was a great value and a huge help to me in my bathroom renovation. He returned my calls promptly and arrived on time. He immediately went to work on my projects and finished them in the estimated time frame. The quality of his work was excellent.; he is also very versatile in the range of things he can handle. He treated my home with respect and cleaned up nicely when he finished. I would definitely recommend John and will likely use his services again.
Description of Work: He replaced a toilet, counter top, and faucet, and helped with the disposal of the old items.

gutter repair
  + -1 more
I called to set up an appointment to have my gutter reinstalled. Mr. Elliot wanted to know if I was home all day. I explained that I was teaching until 12:30 each day until the end of the week. It was my expectation to make an afternoon or weekend appointment. I explained to Mr. Elliot that my day time schedule would open up the following week and he requested that I contact him then. I was very confused as to why an appointment couldn't not be made from 1:00- 5:00 p.m or on the weekend. Nevertheless, I called on Monday to set up an appointment. I paid for 4 hours of contracting services for $125 and I only needed my gutter to be put back on. So I called on Monday morning and Mr. Elliot informed me that he had a family obligation and would try to fit me in on Friday. This is not the level of service that I expected at all. I was extremely dissapointed in his lack of professionalism and due diligence for setting up an appointment. It has been an extremely rainy summer and to wait two weeks for not even a confirmed appointment time is upmost unprofessional and inconsiderate. I am extremely dissatisfied with this Angie's List contractor and have rated him a grade F for the reasons aforementioned.
Description of Work: All I needed was a gutter put on.

Once John and I connected via telephone and set the date and time for him to begin working he and his son arrived on time, reviewed the work that needed to be performed and worked to get everything completed. I purchased an Angie' s List deal for a general contractor for one man 4 hours or 2 men for 2 hours. I had purchased 2 deals to allow for the 4 hours of two men. The job went well over the time but John verified the extra hourly charges and continued working. some of the work was tricky as we had Harwood floors being finished and work in some rooms needed to be done in a certain timeline. John worked great around the project and came up with alternatives if they couldn't finish in an areas on time.
Description of Work: John and his son installed recessed lighting and ceiling fans in our n home. They needed to run new wiring into all of the rooms.

John Elliott General Contractor are great. He was very responsive and gave very good prices. He was willing to do a list of small items, which was great. I didn't have any one big job for him to do. I was very happy with his work. He did a great job and it's great to be able to basically, have a guy on call who will fix the little things, really. We're using them next week for another job. The quality of his work is nice. I have no complaints. The little stuff he did for us was great. He's very easy going, so he's a good guy to work with. I found him through our neighbors, who raved about them.
