"The owner was very professional and asked for a list of jobs that needed to be done. We offered him all the work we wanted done on our porch, which was to fix the wooden base of one of the columns that supported the porch and paint all columns, so that they matched. We also asked him if he could power wash, replace rotting base boards and re-paint two ...more decks in the back yard. He went into his car and hand wrote up a quick estimate, which we thought was reasonable and much lower than what we planned to spend.  He said he would send his guys to come and do the work when the weather is better. Approximately two weeks later

, came and did all the work that his boss had agreed to. HE spent approximately three full days working on the porch and the back decks-power washing, replacing boards and painting them.  Despite the fact that they work hard and do a pretty good job, the one drawback with

is they were not sophisticated enough to ensure  that the work was cosmetically and aesthetically pleasing and fit with the rest of the house. For example, they did not have a plan to ensure the paint on the column matched the rest of the window panes and door in our house. Thus, we decided to provide the paint for them to ensure it was what we wanted and matched the house colors, which they were receptive to. To summarize, if you have the time, and effort and don't mind picking up high quality materials for them to work, they do a good job, at a very reasonable price. Nevertheless, I would be reluctant to recommend them for any work that you consider to be  aesthetically critical to your house. "

" I needed someone to install two ceiling light fixtures that my husband and I could not figure out. I left a message and he returned my call a few hours later. He arranged to come to my house in two days. He and his partner arrived promptly and got to work. They hung both fixtures and they look and work great. I will ...more definitely call him again if anything else comes up. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for a small or large job."
