We are converting an existing garage into a two-floor apartment, and building a new garage elsewhere on my property. We had already gotten several estimates from contractors and they were inconsistent, difficult to compare and uncertain to meet our objectives.

And, although this was not the prime reason we selected him, he was substantially lower in price than the others. He charged by the hour...which I like...gave us an initial estimate of the price range, and finished his work well within that range. The final product was excellent, and we look forward to staring construction soon. We are glad we selected him.Read More
