Kurt did most of the painting with the dense water-tite paint, which was a huge job, and I helped as much as I could. Then he installed drywall along a wall that separated the main basement from the utility area, fitted doors in this wall to provide access, and even designed and created a small closet to hide the gas meter. The studs and some drywall were in place, but Kurt measured, fitted, patched, and sanded the new drywall so that it looks like one smooth wall ready for priming and painting.
Kurt even squeezed in a repair to a kitchen drawer that hadn't closed properly for a long time.
Kurt worked diligently and did a great job.
The work was all completed within a week, including caulking everything and interior trim replacement where needed. We had problems with leaking prior to having the windows replaced, but since the the new windows are in, insulated and caulked we've not had any problems with water finding it's way inside. Kurt was courteous and pleasant to have around, and was very conscientious of heat loss and dust and debris by taking the time to hang plastic barriers around each window area before he performed the work. This cut down on a lot of interior mess. When he was done he took the time to clean up, and even vacuumed the areas where he had been working.
When he was here working he was extremely industrious, not taking any breaks nor taking a lunch break. Several days he worked almost until dark in order to stay on schedule. We love our new windows, both how they look and how efficient they are, and will definitely have KJ Construction back when we have work to be done in the future.
"The Amount of time it took to to do the tub and paint was not at all excessive. The Tub was a remodel which consisted of: 1) Removing the existing tub/surround and disposing. 2) Prepping the walls to accept the new tub. 3) Reinforcing the sub floor, 4) Re plumbing the waste and supply, both of which were not accessible once the new tub was installed. 5) installing the new tub and surround. 6) installing the finish plumbing. 7) clean up. Also worth mentioning, is the fact that the bathroom was on the second floor and all cutting and most of the preparation was done outside the first floor. The ceiling was a 2 story foyer that required scaffolding and included caulking in the crown moulding against the ceiling and wall,and touching up the moulding/ walls where the previous painter slopped them up. Sufficient drying time for caulk and different colored paint was needed, as well as time climbing and moving scaffold. I am meticulous in my work and care of my tools, and work the same whether I am working with a contract or Time and material basis. I cannot be liable for time tables not discussed ahead of time."
"There was a misunderstanding. Contractor was under the impression that the customer was going to call when they solidified the job to be done. Contractor received no warning or check up call before the review."
We are in the process of relocating and Kurt fit us in so we could make our time line.
"I had to rearrange my schedule to do both the estimate, and the work as per the customer’s request since they had a very tight window of time to get it done. I submitted a fair estimate that was based on an hourly rate far less than the coupon’s worth. When it was rejected by e mail, I responded with several ways we could adjust the work to better fit their budget, but there was no response."
The project started with the ceiling re-do's and the interior painting. I can't say enough about the quality of his patching and painting...he was meticulous about the trim and the walls and everything looked dynamite when he was finished. We then had him move onto the kitchen project, and then did a few things here and there like a window replacement and some ceiling fan additions throughout the house.
I really liked the fact that he was willing to work with my vision for the house, and also added some extremely good options/suggestions, many of which we then factored into the projects. He is very experienced and knowledgeable and is capable of bringing a lot to the planning process of a project. We've now lived in the house for several months and I can honestly say that I'm just as pleased with his work now as I was when he was finished. We're planning on having him back to do additional window replacements this spring/summer, and also to do kitchen floor replacement and possibly some new storm doors this year.
Another thing we really appreciated was that he was sensitive to our budget. He was extremely willing to work with us to make things happen as we had the finance availability to do them, including doing some of the projects in segments. Working with someone who was so flexible in this area was a huge plus for us.
