**★★★★★ — slptour, Aug. 2012**

> I moved into a new house in June and wanted to get the master bathroom updated.  I tried calling many local people, but they did not seem interested in this small of a job.  I was referred to John by my realtor; I called John and meet him out at the house one evening.  He had a quote back to me a few hours after our meeting and it was very reasonable.  I wanted to the work to start right after my closing (which was 2 weeks from our meeting), he worked me in the schedule with no problems.
>
> Not only did the job turn out perfect, all of his crew was great, very nice, professional and respectable for our belongings.  John even worked with us on all the details including meeting with us and helping us choose a tile.
>
> Once they started the work, we were so happy with how it was turning out, we asked John and team to demo our fireplace so it would be lower, and frame the fireplace with stack stone, leaving room for my TV to be hung within the stone.  (The majority of the great ideas were John's!)  They started this project as soon as the bathroom was finished and completed it within 3 day's.  The entire job was completed on schedule and within $300 dollars of budget.
>
> I cannot explain how happy I am with the work that John and his team did for us, it has made such a huge difference in our house.  We already have additional projects that he will be working on with us in the future.
>
> If you need some renovations done, but are not sure what exactly you want, call John just to at least meet with him, you will be impressed.  He has great ideas and his work is excellent.  He went above and beyond my expectations on any additional request I had.
