I could not have asked for a more experienced and capable contractor to build a sun lounge for me. Jim was efficient from the start and when the drawings needed modification, he and his designer handled them very well. He made several good suggestions to incorporate into the room and his advice was appreciated. He always answered any questions I had.
Jim's quote was a little higher than other quotes I received but I felt it was well worth while to employ somebody that I felt comfortable to work with and somebody who was experienced in what he did. Due to the building permit taking longer than expected, Jim and his crew made a very concerted effort to finish the room in time.
He stuck to his original quote and the only extra costs I incurred were those that I requested for other work being done. I was very pleased with the end result and would highly recommend Jim for any contracting work. He was a pleasure to work with.
Jim did a major addition to our home. He added a 3 car garage (38’ x 24’) and a mud room (8’ x 20’). We interviewed many contractors and we knew we had made our decision on a contractor when we met Jim. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and he explained a lot of things to us that other contractors had not. Jim had recommended a designer to prepare our drawings which we were very happy with as well. Even before we confirmed our selection of Jim as our contractor I had called Jim on a few occasions to get his advice on design decisions as we worked through the design process and he was always very receptive to giving us his advice.
When we decided we were ready to move forward with the project we were able to work out the details of the contract very quickly with Jim. Jim’s contract was easy to read, clear and to the point. Jim had told us that he doesn’t nickel and dime for every little change and that was certainly true. The price we agreed to in the beginning was the price we paid in the end even though we did make changes.
The quality of the job was fantastic and the materials that were used were all of high quality. We are incredibly happy with the workmanship and we feel confident that we will be able to enjoy the space for a long time.
We were a little disappointed that the project went a little over schedule but that could be expected of a job the size of ours. On the positive side, any time we had concerns Jim always was available and would even come to our house in the evenings to discuss. Jim’s availability was truly appreciated. We could reach him by phone, email or text messaging and we always got a reply back very quickly and most times immediately. This seems to be a rarity in the business.
