  Kenneth E James Painting and Carpentry Services

  The exterior seemed okay but the interior was horrible because no preparation was done. A very expensive cost for an amateur job. After he walked out seven weeks into repairing his own mistakes, he said he was done and pulled his crew. When I checked with the state regarding his behavior, I learned that he has no contractors license and was committing fraud. Don't take my word, check with the state of Alabama. Also ask Angie why he is still allowed to advertise.

  It could not have been worse. Despite advertising, Mr. James generally showed up once in the morning and once in the evening. His crew were not all proficient at what was required of them. Inside of cabinets not painted, floors are falling in for the second time. Low grade material and expensive gas window was "placed" in wall with sledge hammer when it wouldn't fit. It cracked later that day and excuses changed multiple times before James said "we cracked it." Nothing was returned to original place as we were assured, and as my wife and Io are both disabled much of the mess remains. Unneccesary work on a French Drain blew the budget by three grand, and Mr. James became irate when we utilized a five percent discount coupon claiming he didn't have any coupons on his website and accused us of shorting him 5%. He did show up briefly in the morning and afternoon but matierials used were billed as new and ultimately were found to be used. (toilet) We took a second mortgage on the house to finance the renovation and the house is worse now than when they first came here. He refuses to fix the flooring which is sagging and causing us to slip and fall at times. The last words to my wife as he left were to my wife and were f**k you! I would have confronted him but he smelled as if he had been drinking and thought the better of it. He reeked of alcohol according to my wife and I. I thought we had found the perfect contractor but apparently his company cares more about beer than doing a good job. I have additional work he didn't accomplish and I was on the road buying material and tools every day without fail. I am just sick of it,, and just wholly and completely beg anyone considering home renovation to find a real professional. He talked a good game, not so good on the follow through. Beware!

  I was not contacted by the Service Provider. I tried on multiple occasions to contact them but never received an answer on their listed phone number and did not receive any electronic communication. The work contracted was never done.

  Northern Custom Construction

  Poorly. When we first met with Tim he gave us ever confidence he had the experience and the capacity to get the work done well and done on time (he estimated 6 weeks). His reviews on Home Advisor were good and the work we were assigning was comparable to the projects reviewed. However, after a few weeks we found that he rarely arrived at the job site when promised, that most all of the work he assigned to sub contractors who had no experience doing the work (they actually told us in most instances "this is our first time"). On the positive front, he did not charge us for any services that he had not rendered, However he also never showed up. So the projects dragged on for nearly 4 months. In the end, we cut the project list back and cut our losses. We did all of the remaining work ourselves which included light electrical, additional light construction and additional painting. He lost work because of his inability to project manage effectively.

  I could no be happier with the service. We had two ceiling fans replaced, vanity replaced, plumbing for vanity, light over the kitchen sink replaced. He was supposed to show up at 8AM, he showed up at 7:55AM. All work was completed in six hours, which was pretty amazing in my eyes. They cleaned up after themselves, didn't make a mess, didn't track dirt all over the place. I've found a handyman for life!

  Holland Homes Llc

  Robert made contact within 10 minutes of my enquiry for the job. Inclement weather prevented inspection and start by about 1 week.  The moment I signed the mutually agreed upon contract, work began and was completed within the week.
   
   I am pleased the home looks brand new!

  TOMMY'S PAINTING & CARPENTRY

  I read a previous review that started, "Fantastic.."  I agree. 
  Work was performed when and as stated, attention to detail was excellent, employees were good workers and professional, and they actually did more than I expected (attention to detail).   The owner is a good man and keeps his word. Plus, Mr. Glass gave a five year warranty on his work.
  This is the only painting company I would ask to do work on my property here in Montgomery.

  He's great!!!  His advice has been sound, all the work has been top notch.  He gets there when he says he will and his rates are reasonable.  I will continue to rely on Kenny for as long as he's willing!  He's the best!

  Interaction with Kenny was great. He was responsive, courteous and professional in all aspects. I am in the last stages of adding a bonus room above my garage and asked Kenny to do all trim/baseboard/molding work. His guys showed up when scheduled and were very courteous and professional to my family while they were here, in and out in a day and looks awesome!

  Room had drywall and flooring in, Kenny installed casing and molding around a window, hung French closet doors, installed casing around closet and bedroom doors, installed casing around attic stair pull down system, put in baseboards and quarter round in entire room that has wood floors, and hung 2 small knee wall attic access doors.... I did the painting and because Kenny and his guys did such a great job on the finish work, it turned out great!

  I was extremely pleased with the service. Mr. James picked up the phone when I called and came the same day. The price was very reasonable. I couldn't have asked for prompter or better service and I will definitely call them again when I need help.
