We hired James to remove an old built in TV cabinet and added wood studs/drywall.He responded quickly, came to our place the same day to give us a free quote. Price was very reasonable and able to accommodate us fairly soon. He did an excellent job with cabinet removal and installing new drywall. Work was very neat and he cleaned up everything afterwards. Jame's even fixed a broken bathroom cabinet drawer for us . I would hire him again and recommend to anybody for similar jobs.

James was awesome! He arrived on time and tackled the job very well. He was able to repair the drywall in my daughter’s closet and it turned out great. He cleaned up after himself which was very appreciated, he even fixed two doors on the spot. I will define reaching out to him for other repairs in the future.

James did a great job finishing the attic space (framing and drywall) for us so we could take care of the rest (painting, flooring, etc).
I appreciated him taking the time to ask questions/review the plan of the day with me usually every morning before I left for work. He was very responsive via texts also. I am pleased with his craftsmanship and I have happily referred him to my friends for their project as well.
