Ryan L. says, "I hired John from Trimcraft to install baseboard throughout my entire condo and case all of the doors. John was absolutely great to work with. He came on site for the estimate and took the time to talk to us about what we wanted and offered various options that we had not considered. This was not something any of the other contractors did (and we had 3 other contractors quote!). He offered to bring samples so that we could see how everything looked prior to making our final decision. During the work, John was a perfectionist. He prides himself on his work and above all wants to make sure his customers are happy. He spent extra time to fix other people's mistakes. For example, he adjusted and rehung all of the doors (which I hung myself) just to make sure that when the trim and casings were installed, everything looked great and I was happy. He was extremely accommodating to mine and my wife's schedule, which is hard because she works nights and must sleep during the day. So he adjusted his work to be as quite as possible while she was sleeping or while I was on conference calls. At the end of the job, he walked around the entire condo with me to make sure I was happy with everything. He took the time to show me how to caulk and spackle the trim and give advice on painting it. Before leaving he told me that if I notice anything is wrong, just to give him a call and he will come by and fix it up. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend John. If you are looking for the fastest and cheapest guy, he probably isn't your man. But if you are looking for someone who takes his time and gives you great quality work at a very reasonable price, you should definitely go with him! Note:"See more
