Barry Jamison Home Improvements

Barry and his crew did a great job repair some damage that we had to our siding from a recent storm. They arrived as scheduled, assessed the damage and completed the repair efficiently and cost effective. Will certainly use Barry for future projects.

Barry is wonderful. He did a great job and communicated with me the entire way to ensure things went smooth.  Very impressed with this work and price.  Will definitely contact him again for any work.

Mr. Jamison came over at 9 AM to provide an estimate for the job. He looked it over and said that he could do the job right away. I agreed, but he was hesitant to provide an estimate...appearing to ignore my request. I urged for a rough estimate, as we could not look beneath the floor to see the actual damage. I should have asked for hourly cost estimate, due to this. He quoted what was agreed as probability of replacing supporting structures and subflooring (as discussed); he was indecisive with the estimate of $475....or low $400's. When the floor was opened up, it revealed significantly less damage than expected. I then asked for reduction in cost. Mr. Jamison agreed but was not specific.
Mr. Jamison called another guy in, saying that it would make things go faster. --not sure that two guys were necessary (my opinion only), but then again...I'm not the expert. Small area (2' by 3') of vinle baseboard was old and could not be reused. As the job was nearing the end, I indicated for him to leave the baseboard re-install up to me, as I have some stored. After I stepped out for a bit, upon return I found Mr. Jamison had defied my request to leave the baseboard installation to me. He had apparently added more time by traveling to some location to get baseboard material and came back to saw pieces. I reminded him of our agreement, and he stopped, but evidently charged me for the extra time of travel and baseboard sawing. Labor--#325; materials--$42. --arrived at 9 AM for estimate, continuing work, and ended at 2:15 PM. This works out to about $73/hour.

They did a nice job. They were pleasant. I have recommended them to one of my neighbor. I would use them again in the future.

Barry did a wonderful job. He was quite careful and attentive to detail. He was patient in helping me make decisions about materials to use and helpful in coordinating installation of granite countertop by a company he recommended. The work he did was excellent and everyone is commenting on how nice everything looks. Update: I've now enjoyed my new rooms for over a month. I've found a variety of little things that Barry did that I hadn't asked or noticed. For example, he put a new sweep on the bottom of the kitchen door.
