I had to supervise this job and request corrections for sloppy work and mistakes. Jerry argued with me as well as my tenant when we asked for changes and mentioned things we were not happy with. Customer service was lacking with this contractor. I do not recommend him and will not use him again. I paid extra charges of $475.00 because I felt I had to to get the job completed without being a total disaster. I had thought that using using Angie's list I would prohibit situations like this. (1) At the onset, when Jerry bid this job, I told him I wanted the color 'swiss coffee' on the walls. We wound up with 'butter' yellow:Swiss coffee was the current color, and a popular color found in all paint stores. Jerry said we would need to match the paint. I encouraged him to look at my stock of old paint and if the current color was on hand he could take that with him to buy the new paint. He looked at several cans of my paint. He picked one and said, 'that's your color'. He took the can with him, and came back a week later with paint and began painting. As soon as the living room walls were painted we realized it was the wrong color. Jerry even pointed out the difference to me. I remembered that many years ago I had used a 'butter' color. The walls were now 'butter', where I had asked for 'swiss coffee'. 'Swiss coffee' is a color that can be ordered from any paint company. The problem: the other accent colors we picked were meant to go with 'swiss coffee', not 'butter' yellow.Two different areas in the apartment clashed really badly. (2) Trim and woodwork should have been painted white, but they painted them yellow:Jerry reviewed progress with me the second afternoon after they had already gotten well into the job. He said 'I'll paint all of this the same color, and all of this the same color', and I messed up by not paying close enough attention and agreeing with him; he was saying he would paint woodwork, trim and walls all the same color, 'butter', because he'd run out of white paint. Later, when I saw the yellow walls, woodwork and trim in the living room, instead of trim and woodwork white as they were before, and as he had already painted in the bedroom, as they should have been, and as any professional painter would have painted, I realized he had run out of white trim paint, and had gotten my permission to paint it all yellow! I told him the woodwork and trim had to be white, he charged me $425.00 more, went and bought more paint, and painted the trim and woodwork white as it should have been in the first place. (3) The bathroom reddish color clashed with the 'butter' yellow:I asked him to repaint the 'butter' lower walls in the bathroom 'white' (remember, I had asked for 'swiss coffee' in the first place, not 'butter'). He charged me $50 extra to correct this problem caused by him not giving me the 'swiss coffee' color I had asked for in the first place. (4) They did a sloppy job:The first day I noticed an area of wall around the light switch plate in the front hallway was cracked and rough which had not been that way before, but they painted over it anyway (should have sanded/repaired) with the switch cover replaced over the mess (I pointed it out to Jerry, and he had his worker fix and repaint, his worker apologizing and saying he had had a hard time with that one: why did he just paint over his botch and not even attempt to fix or tell anyone about it?), paint splatters on floor and smudges on the walls, and many uneven places. They did not tape anything off. When I asked Jerry why they did not use tape, he said the tape did not work that well. He did finally use some blue painter's (his own) tape after I mentioned I had some he could use, and after I had agreed to pay $475 more to get the job done. He left his his workers unsupervised much of the time. They were supposed to finish the job on Tuesday evening. I could not be home because of a memorial service. Jerry was to come by the following evening for me to walk through and pay. My tenant came home late Tuesday to a mess: paint splatters all over the hardwood floor, debris on the floor where they had not swept up, smudges on windows and mirrors throughout, switchplates and socket covers painted over (when I asked Jerry said the socket plates were painted over in the first place...Jerry argued with me every step of the way; I brought over some new socket covers and switch plate covers, he fixed); they had not cleaned up ...debris not swept up (when I asked Jerry about cleanup, he said was there was cat food under the refrigerator..we did clean that up...again, the argument); the lights were left on, the ac left on (Jerry: 'Mam, we don't touch the AC'...another argument), paint cans left in the entry hall, outside water left on, front door unlocked. He did clean up some of the messes and attempt to fix the mistakes and uneven places throughout at no extra charge. Concluding Comment:Whew! Supervising this job was too stressful for me. Finally, I would like to mention that I have dealt with all sorts of contractors, and I do recognize a good one when I find one. The day after the conclusion of the paint job, I experienced a breath of fresh air by having the opportunity to deal with a fabulous plumbing contractor. Found him by word of mouth, not Angie's list. I won't mention the company here, but will give them a good review elsewhere. I will say this, among the many reasons this contractor is fabulous is that he went the extra mile for me every step of the way (he was here 5 hours), and just as he was leaving, he stopped and said if you'll give me five more minutes I'll go get my wet vac and clean that area under your sink. When I told him that was ok, that dirt was already there, he said, "I always leave my jobs cleaner than I found them." And you know what? People always call him back."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/kyle/jv-painting-and-construction-home-maintenance-reviews-6183591.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"ARTIZAN WOODWORKS","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Cory L."},"reviewBody":"I just built a house and John Kaneer at Artizan woodworks was one of my favorite subcontractors.

"I hired Eric Knight in October of 2024 to remove an old flagstone patio and replace it with a new deck. Work commenced November 4 with the demolition of the flagstone. To this day (January 17) the flagstone still sits in my backyard after many promises he would haul it off. I had already paid him to do so.
The deck was done to my satisfaction although Eric farmed out the job to sub contractors. We agreed to have an underground drain for the downspouts to empty into my backyard. I wasn?t happy with the design he came up with, with huge PVC pipe above ground, which is quite an eyesore, not to mention it leaks on the deck, and the water doesn?t drain into the yard.

FAQs for woodworking projects in Sunset Valley, TX
The average cost to hire a woodworker for a project in your home is around $65 per hour, but hourly rates can range from $35 to $250 or more, depending on the experience and skill of the woodworker. Your total woodworking project cost will depend on the complexity of the work, the type of wood, the number of projects, and any other materials your project requires. You could hire a professional woodworker to create everything from a custom cabinet to ornate, unique staircases.
Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
Every woodworker has different skills and experience, so we recommend asking the following questions when hiring a woodworker for your project:
How long have you been in the woodworking industry?
What experience do you have with my type of project?
Do you have customer references I can speak with?
How long do you expect my project to take?
What is my recourse if I have an issue with your work?
Do you charge hourly or per project?
Will you work on-site or in your own workshop?
Does your fee include the necessary post-job clean-up?
While they perform similar tasks, a carpenter is responsible for the woodworking that goes into construction—like framing, installing sheathing, and hanging kitchen cabinets—while a woodworker tackles more intricate and custom projects—like building custom furniture and installing wainscoting. Based on these definitions, most woodworkers can tackle the jobs of a carpenter, but you should always ask about your specific project when choosing a woodworker to ensure they have the necessary skills to tackle the job.
It may seem simple to install trim, wainscoting, and other finishing wood in your home, but the work is complicated and often frustrating. Getting small trim pieces to line up evenly without gaps and look streamlined in a finished product is a real challenge for DIYers, even if you have the necessary tools. We recommend hiring a professional woodworker for these more intricate projects. They’ll get the job done more quickly, and they’ll have the experience necessary to make everything look neat and clean to add more value to your home.
