Damon came highly recommended by my fellow realtors. I hired him to correct some problems that arose when I used another contractor. The issues included three toilets that leaked, three electrical outlets that did not pass the county inspection, and some trim to woodwork that had been done. Damon not only performed everything perfectly but he is also very professional, easy to have in our home, and willing to help out when I had a very tight schedule. I will be using him again and also letting my colleagues know to use him.

When my house went under contract and an inspector came in and found a million small things to cite. (Example: ranges have to have an anti tilt device underneath which should come with installation) Damon fixed every item no matter how small from electrical to plumbing.
In my new condo he built a beautiful bookcase about 15'X12'X8' with doors on the bottom to accommodate my books and "chackkas". He also installed cabinets, hung mirrors, fans, chandeliers,  and gave good suggestions and advice. Damon has excellent taste and does quality work. He is trustworthy- I work full time and gave him a key. He gets the work done in a timely manner.

Damon was very flexible in scheduling, punctual for the appointment, professional in the performance of work, and below budget in pricing. We have requested additional work to be performed based on the first experience.

We call him every time we have an issue that needs to be taken care of. He is an excellent craftsman and everything that he does is meticulous. He is very careful about cleaning up as he finishes so it is not like we feel like we are living in a pigsty until he shows up and finishes. It has really been very pleasant to deal with him because he is very professional and an excellent worker. I was brought up in a family with other carpenters so I know that his work is very good. He is a busy person so he can’t always get to us immediately but he always lets us know when his current job is going to be up so that we can schedule to have him come right over to ours when he is finished with his other. He doesn’t leave us high and dry. His punctuality is excellent.

Damon is an absolutely congenial, honest, and trustworthy person.  He demonstrated incredible expertise in every aspect of the project: tiling, plumbing, electrical, painting, etc.  We presented him with a rather complicated tile design, and Damon, with a few modifications, was able to make it a reality.
Because Damon works alone, a large or complicated project may take a while to complete.  Our hall bathroom project took four months.
Response from Damon Blackburn Master Craftsman
"This project was for two of the nicest people I have ever met. I do work alone, but is has never been a problem. The typical bathroom remodeling job takes me four to eight weeks to complete. This was not at all a typical project, and the logistics were not typical. This project was a very complicated, elaborate, and beautiful design which evolved during the project and with some structural surprises. On typical jobs, I work from about 8:30 or 9 am until about 8 pm six or seven days a week until the project is done. On this project, I was required to be out of the house by 5 pm M-F. In a month, that added up to 60 to 120 hours of work that did not get done that typically would. The project was long for all of us, but fortunately, we enjoyed each other very much, and it came out beautifully. Not at all a typical timing project for me. This was a new experience for me. In the future, if faced with limited hours, I will make it my business to communicate the impact on project progress it will have."

He has done work for us for years. Everything he does is expert. He truly is a craftsmen. He has done baseboards, bathroom renovations, lighting, put in a new stairwell, and other things for us. He has a great eye for what looks beautiful and always makes sure that it comes perfectly. The price is always reasonable.

We had some in initial pitfalls due to weather. However, Damon worked off hours and weekends to make sure the job didn't linger.

I desperately needed to have the locks immediately changed out on my front door. I called Damon Blackburn and he came out on very short notice to do the work.  Damon is very personable, meticulous and the work he performed was reasonably priced.  While there, he took the time to look over other areas in the condo (kitchen, bathroom and laundry room) where I need to have work done.  I will definitely be calling him back to get on his schedule.

We;ve used Damon before on multiple small/medium projects in our house to include both electrical and plumbing.  He is very professional, provides his hourly rate and an estimate of the time to do the work. This project involved installing a new kitchen faucet and disposal.  In our case, he had to remove the sink itself to get the old faucet out, then re-installed everything and cleaned up the area so that you would not even have known anyone had been working in the area.
He was the same, when installing recessed lighting in our kitchen.  After consulting with us on the type/size of lights we wanted, he picked up all the supplies, installed each of the kits, ran new wires from the switch and cleaned up as if he had not even been there.
I consider Damon to be very reliable, efficient with his time and fair with his charged rates.  He charges for the actual time spent working and does not look to extend time just to get more money.  He makes sure whatever he is working on is done to perfection and if you have any issues, will come back to resolve to your satisfaction.

We love Damon!
Damon quickly, efficiently and expertly completed a wide variety of projects in our new home.  What literally would have taken me weeks to complete, Damon finished in a few days.  My original to-do list only included a few items.  But when I saw how skilled Damon is, I happily added more things to the list.
Damon is an absolute pleasure to work with.  He is a great communicator.  He is prompt and timely.  Plus, he is simply a really good and honest person.
We will definitely use Damon again.  I plan to use him for not only handyman services, but also for major work like remoldeling.
Thank you, Damon!

Time and again, Damon exceeds our expectations.  He will often help beyond the precise boundaries of a project on miscellaneous items that also needed attention.  

Punctual, committed to excellence, and always working to validate that the direction and outcome of his work will meet your expectations.

Damon is a perfectionist.  Everything is always done perfectly.  Even the cleanup is emmaculate.  I've been using him for 5 years and wouldn't consider using anyone else.  He is an expert craftsman.
