  Frank Wiegers Handyman

  Perfect, as always. We have used Frank for years and would not even think about anyone else. He is smart, professional, very friendly, prompt and reasonable. I am a tough grader but Frank gets an A+. Always has all the tools etc. he needs and he gets right to it. I am a mess around the house so we just wait until we have several things and then we call Frank so that it is fixed right.

  Green Works Construction & Design Inc

  Avi did a complete build-out of my existing back shed to turn it into an amazing home office. Everything from demolition to insulation and drywall to framing, flooring, and painting inside and out. He also built a side deck to connect and created a flagstone sidewalk. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire job and I couldn't be happier with the work that was done. I'd use Avi again for any construction at my home in the future.

  True North Designs

  A year and a half ago my wife and I chose Paul North to totally remodel the kitchen in out mid-century house.  We were exceptionally happy with the results and have detailed the experience in a previous review we posted on Angie's List.  This year we decided to remodel our upstairs and we only wanted Paul to do the work.   He is meticulous in planning but easy to work and he can offer solutions to the unexpected problems that accompany construction.  We are also impressed with the people who work for Paul and looked forward to seeing them again.  Paul and everyone he works with are not only highly skilled they are artistic as well.  Something that did not look right caught their eye first before we even saw it.  In questions of placement or taste they spoke with us as equals and gave options on how to best solve the issue.
  For this latest remodel we started by having all the carpeting on the second floor removed and replaced with maple flooring. Originally we considered solid maple but found out from Paul and his flooring sub-contractor that engineered flooring offered many advantages.  One of the most important of these was that it was pre-finished so that each room could be done separately. With solid flooring everything must be done at once because sanding and finishing happen at the end of the installation.  With engineered flooring they could go room by room which allowed us to sleep in one bedroom while the other was being worked on then switch to the completed bedroom as they moved on to the other bedrooms.  In addition big furniture did not need to be removed from the room but rather it could be moved to one side while the flooring was being installed then lifted and placed on the newly installed flooring allowing the rest of the floor to be installed.  Best of all there was no need for sanding or applying a finish.  
  In addition to the floors, which were dazzling after installation, we had Paul gut our upstairs laundry.  This area was hidden behind bi-fold doors and just looked like an extra wide closet.  Paul re-route the plumbing, electrical and gas lines and then installed a window above the washer/dryer.  This window looks out on the half-acre hillside we own.  This side of the house had no windows on it since in the 1970s seeing nature was not the list of must have items (it was for us).  To hide the washer/dryer Paul's carpenters  installed a work surface above them and hinged doors in the front.  Although the size of this area was small the effect was large since we have uninterrupted sight lines in four directions from what previously seemed like a narrow hallway.
  These two items would have been enough in the bang for the buck department but in addition Paul crew installed a skylight in our dim guest bathroom, replaced the vinyl floor in both bathrooms, replaced all the baseboards upstairs,  swapped-out four leaky bathroom faucets with four new ones, replaced a bathroom pocket-door with a solid core door, added new exterior electrical outlets and best of all build a beautiful 35-foot long modern wooden fence along the front of our garden.  Actually, I am wrong, TRUELY BEST OF ALL was the repainting of the entire house (3-floors high in the front) in new light and bright colors (the painting sub-contractor did a lot of prep-work and yet kept everything protected and clean).  All of the above happened in less than four weeks as well!
  I hope you can tell we love working with Paul North and look forward to doing more work with in the future.

  JON CURRIE

  Jon did an excellent job with all the tasks he was asked to perform. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, communicated very clearly and was a pleasure to work with. I will definitely use Jon again for any future handyman needs.

  Jeff Campbell General Contractor

  I hired Jeff primarily because of the good reviews on Angie's list. Our agreement was he would act as a General Contractor - at the rate of $50/hour to coordinate work being done at our new home. Jeff was initially very responsive and we were pleased with the quality of his work. He communicated with us often and made sure that we understood the work to be done. He seemed genuinely interested in providing us with good value. The problem started straight away with the master bath. My expectation of him acting as a general contractor was he knew the building laws, etc. and would take care of any neccessary paperwork. Right after he started demoing the bath, he called to say the building inspector had stopped by & was fining us because we did not have the neccessary permits. As the homeowner, I had to pay a $400 fine because of the lack of permit. I let this one go because I thought, perhaps, Jeff believed we wanted to save money and try to do the work without permits. I made it very clear we wanted the correct permits. After this incident, we had a lot of work going on, so we asked him to hold off a bit on the bath. The work on the bath was agreed in late Jan. We had weeks where nothing was done and no one was at the house. Jeff did call and say that this was just the way things go on the bath - you have to wait for permits, etc. We were patient. He also assured us he had not been working on the bath, so "not to worry" he was not charging us. Finally in March progress began to happen with the carpentry (we were very happy with the electrician and plumber). The bath was framed and the sheet rock was finished. We believed all that was needed was tiling. Jeff gave us a bill which we questioned because of his charge for 40 hours of supervision, when he had told us he had not worked much. But we paid him and he said the tiler was to start the next day (Sat) or Mon. We gave him a deposit for the tiler. That was the last we have seen of Jeff Campbell dispite numerous phone calls and attempts to contact him. We have filed a formal complaint with the State Licensing Board. When we tried to hire a tiler, he showed us that the carpentry was of extreme substandard quality & said it was impossible to tile. We hired an independent house inspector who confirmed that the wood used was old and dry, there was inadequate support for windows, the bath was inadequately framed, there were holes left in the flooring ..the list goes on. We have a quote from another contractor for $23k - he also says all the work Jeff completed must be redone. I cannot describe my disappointment in this man's work. When you raise an issue with him, he immediately blames you as a customer, saying everyone loves his work... well... I for one do not appreciate the bath I have right now, which is open to the outside and needs complete redoing.

  Jeff Campbell General Contractor

  I was impressed by Jeff's creativity and vision. This one car garage was nothing more than a shed for my garden tools. It was filthy with no walls but Jeff instantly saw potential in the space. He was very excited to work on the design, and the whole time he was working, he kept the job very clean.

  Jeff Campbell General Contractor

  The guy is a general contractor, and a finished carpenter so he actually works along with his helper...Very polished. The work was so beautiful....can't believe it....have had some bad experiences in the past with contractors not showing up, not even calling...leaving in the middle of the job. ALSO, the most important thing is that I felt safe while he was in my home and he finsihed when he said. He was SO CLEAN when working...like i said it was shocking to have someone actually leave the house cleaner then when he arrived. He is a local Palisadean homeowner.

  JTS CONSTRUCTION

  I originally found JTS after observing one of his challenging jobs in progress. Then I asked one of my neighbors, a high-end contractor who builds homes in Malibu and who sits on our HOA board, to critique JTS framing as that job was in the framing stage. Based on this check I asked JTS to bid and subsequently worked with him for some 5 months on my home. This job is finished, but I plan to use him for another job in the future. I recommended him to another neighbor for a job and it was completed in markedly short time as she had no other place to live upon returning from an overseas assignment.
