JOHN McFarland contacted me immediately after I made the request. He came to the house to check out the jobs we needed done. The job he did on our deck is fabulous and look forward to hiring him for other jobs. John McFarland is honest, trustworthy, polite, and a fabulous worker. Five stars all the way for McFarland!!

John McFarland showed up ready to work. He took a few minutes to ask some questions to clarify what I needed from him and then started on the job. Since we were working on installing baseboards for our bathroom remodel we quickly found out my walls were not square. The squareness of my walls was off as much as 3-5 degrees. John was able to work with this and found the solution to installing the baseboards so they matched up in the corners. His carpentry knowledge is outstanding.
John, I appreciate you coming out on short notice and I enjoyed talking with you.
Thank you,
The Jimenez Family
