We phoned Lamar for an emergency job and he came to assist us 1 1/2 hours later! He helped and gave us some good suggestions. Thank you Lamar!
Hi Brigitte unfortunately after demolition the only solution was to board up the effected area since we do not have experience with concrete and could not see the affected area until the demolition was done. The price was lower than our standard charge for any job (usually 150 minimum).

Total pro, all the way...every step. This was an intricate project, with very specific acoustic requirements and Lamar knocked it out of the park. Lamar know his trade well and I couldn't be happier with his work!

Lamar showed up on time, was professional yet friendly, and did an excellent job on both installations. I would hire him again without hesitation and recommend him to anyone in need of some work.

Lamar was very friendly as well as professional to deal with. He explained the steps of the process to me as he completed the project over a number of days. He clearly communicated his arrival times and was prompt in his arrival. We were happy with the finished project. In the end, the job cost a bit more than we were expecting due to supplies costs being more than expected; however, that was out of Lamar’s control. The quote for his labour stayed right on track. I would recommend Lamar as a courteous and skilled professional.
Thank you Jennifer
We appreciate your candor in this review and while certain aspects of the review were disputable but understandable the low rating in regards to our budget was disappointing. The exceptionally low labour cost for a 4 visit job during high season was ( as well as making time to do it despite a 3 week shift in timeframe ) a great service we were happy to provide. Knowing the customers estimate was labour, supplies not included and finished with our labour costs exactly as the estimate read leads me to believe, your dissatisfaction was with the cost of supplies alone which was not in our control. Hopefully you can review the budget portion as we did all we could do, and stayed within our allotted budget.
Thank you from Handys Home Improvement Network

Working with Lamar was a pleasure. There was telephone and text information to conform work to be completed, estimate and coordination of work date. Lamar’s communications were clear and he met every timeline commitment.
Lamar was professional and consulted regularly during the completion of the work.
We are very pleased with the work completed today and have consulted with Lamar about several future home improvement jobs.

Friendly professional and a fantastic job. The mirror I had to be hung was tricky and didn’t come with the necessary requirements to hang it properly. Ended up with am extremely professional job and glad I paid to have it done !

I contracted Lamar to rebuild the whole deck off my bedroom that included the sub floor,
which happened to be the ceiling in my garage as well. The drywall part was messy but to be expected.
He made a special design per my needs, implemented and executed it in a professional and excellent outcome. I will be using his services again without doubt.
