Had the pleasure of working with James on our main bathroom. After meeting with different contractors about our bathroom reno, we just felt most comfortable working with James. He was extremely professional, detailed, knowledgeable, and well organized. I think what stands out the most about James and why we picked him was his mannerism. Pleasant to talk to and communicated clearly throughout the job. Prices were competitive with other contractors as well. James was able to make our vision a reality. Him and his team worked well together and we rarely encountered problems. Even when we did, we were able to sort it right away. Our bathroom is very old and had cement wall. James and his team had no problem gutting the entire bathroom. I look forward to possibly working with James for future projects.

We had opportunity to work with James for our Basement remodel project. James was pretty helpful with ideas and professional is executing the work. He committed and completed the work within the expected time even with our changes to project . James is honest about the cost upfront and let us know the cost of work all along for any additions . James and his crew completed work with quality and on time . I will certainly have James work on our future home renovation project and certainly recommend him.

Details: Residential • 500 - 1,000 sq. ft. • Yes, I will be modifying or adding living space to my basement • Yes, my basement finishing or remodeling project will require electrical or plumbing work • No existing plans, but have a good idea of what I want

I was not able to go through with our planned project due to a completely unforeseen circumstance, however this had nothing to do with James. He actually came over and gave me a complete breakdown of the scope of the work. Gave lots of ideas on what could be done and even gave measurements and where to buy things to save money. He even came up with ideas when my HOA wouldn’t allow me to leave a dumpster outside our place. He was super professional and made himself readily available. He was able to start right away which is what we were initially hoping for.

If you’re looking for a straight talking, no-nonsense contractor, look no further. From my initial meeting with James, he was professional and took measurements to give me an accurate quote. I ended up having James and his crew do a full remodeling of my Master Bathroom (see before photos where the bathroom was stuck in the early 2000s!) and also a full remodeling of my powder bathroom. He also did some smaller remodeling projects to my other 2 bathrooms (new vinyl flooring, new toilets, etc) and also did my kitchen backsplash. The work was completed on time and he did not charge me a cent over the initial quote I had received. Communication: I couldn’t have asked for a more responsive contractor. James responded via text within the hour (if not sooner). Personally, I preferred to speak with James over the phone or in person as I think tone can be misunderstood over text. However, any issues we ran into were resolved to my satisfaction by James. As with ANY home remodeling project, there will be problems that arise or miscommunication. James was great at explaining what potential issues might arise and helping me decide how to proceed. For example, in my master bathroom, I wanted to keep the mirror but my new vanity would overlap with the mirror. James thought of a creative solution to cut the mirror and it worked. Now, no review would be honest if I didn’t disclose any “problems”. In my basement bathroom, the old vanity was removed and a new one put in. James was honest in flagging that one of his guys hadn’t patched the large holes in the wall before installing the new vanity. He assured me that the holes would be fixed and it was promptly corrected. Unfortunately some of the holes couldn’t be fully reached because the new vanity was in the way. I wish the holes had been patched before the new vanity was installed as that would’ve been the proper method. But, having been a manager before, I understand these things happen and at least it’s not too visible. Tips if you decide to hire James: - Treat him with respect and he will do the same. - Make sure your contract clearly describes everything that is verbally agreed. James is great but he’s working so many projects that he could forget small details. It was always easiest for me to reference the contract as that avoided any misunderstanding. - Visit the work site frequently to make sure you’re happy with the progress. It’s much harder to fix or change something before something is installed. James is more than willing to address any problems if you can find it. In summary: I LOVE my new master bathroom. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel when I’m in there. I will 100% be using James as my contractor for all future projects. I’ve already referred a few friends to him too. My powder room also looks amazing and every guest that uses it compliments the design. Good luck James and we’ll be in touch!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is based on complexity of the project, man hours or labor and material if they are included. Most of the time, in order for clients to save money or have flexibility, we advise them, if they prefer, to buy their own materials. That way they can shop around, bargain and use a credit card if they choose to.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First and foremost I listen....I do not talk about me and how wonderful I am and how me me me me.... Is the client's point of view that it matters and is their show. I'm there to listen and help our clients make their ideas a reality and always stay on budget.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I personally have a degree in Mechanical Drawing/Architectural Drafting. Which it has help me in the home building process. I have also worked as a Financial Advisor for a Major Financial Company. The experience of doing complete rehabbing of homes have given me the expertise of design and color coordination.
