Jamieson Limited LLC

Dirk Jamieson loves to work and does a thorough, excellent job. He acted as though he owned the place and wanted to make it perfect so he could put his name on it. He comes equipped with the right tools. When he needs more help he can find it with people who are well behaved and fit for the job.

Dirk is a real pro and a nice guy. He's extremely meticulous and does excellent work. He replaced our vanity, but also had to do painting, trim work and replace the faucets. I would, and likely will hire him again, especially for any handy work needed around the house.

He did an excellent job- my windows had been leaking air and water was sleeping into the walls and now they are sound and the house looks great.

Dirk was the first contractor to call us back, to look at the job, and to quote on it. He was also the only contractor who offered to cover everything we have stored up in our entire attic with huge sheets of plastic before the job and then clean it up after. From the inside, other than the fresh plywood, you couldn't tell there had been so much demo work. Dirk is that meticulous and crazy about quality. Everything has to be “just so.” You pay a little more for that, but the peace of mind is worth it. For example, he removed our cupola and weathervane, brought it home, rebuilt and painted it, and reinstalled it. Dirk has a degree in engineering, but decided early in life he needed to apply that knowledge by working with his hands and not in an office. He’s a talkative guy, and came across to us as genuine and caring. We would use him again.

He did an excellent, the door is better than new, he put on new door handle and planed the door so it sat in place correctly. <br />

Dirk came to clean the gutters and I showed him a spot where I had noticed that the wood was rotting on the house.  While cleaning the gutters he found 2 more spots and then did an excellent job fixing them.  He found carpenter ants in one area and so he treated that for the ants as well.  I felt that he did a very thorough job and always kept me apprised of any additional costs ahead of time.  We plan on having him come back out in the spring to do some additional work. <br />

He found a leak that my other contractor could not find. He went up on the roof and cleaned away old caulking which he said should not have been there if the roof had been properly done originally. He layed down the shingles so it won't leak. <br />

Dirk started the job of renovating in November of 2013. He did everything from removing all wallpaper from the walls, mold treatment , repainting with special paint to keep the mold from returning, to finishing the ceilings, to taking all of the windows ( 8) out, stripping repainting, repositioning, redoing the kitchenette from top to bottom, renovating both bathrooms, replacing part of the ceiling, cleaning the chimney, refinishing the mantelpiece, putting on new chimney caps, renovating all doors, replacing part of an outdoor door frame, putting on a new gutter, power washing the cottage, painting/putting up new shutters, fixing the siding, insulating the water pipes and small cupboard where they come into the structure... <br /> It took him a year to finish the whole structure. Mind you he did all the work himself. He does/did not have a crew of workers with him. <br /> Dirk works meticulously. His work is of an outstanding quality, no cutting corners anywhere, which sometimes may take longer timewise, but the end result is top notch and will not need any retouching for at least a couple of years. <br /> I highly recommend him, especially if you want a top quality job. There are very few things that Dirk is not able to provide.  <br /> I will most certainly hire him for future jobs, whether it will be for outside work or inside work. <br />

He did everything ahead of schedule, and was careful with our stuff that stays in the basement.  He left the area neater that he found it, and the price was very fair. <br />

Dirk, the owner/operator of Jamieson LLC, arrived at the specified time.  He took down the entire wall, stacked it neatly, replaced the eroded base material, and  rebuilt the wall.  He corrected the problem and built the wall better than it was prior to his efforts.  When he was done, the area where he had collected material (both old and new) was left cleaner than it was before he started.  He was determined to finish the job in one day and worked past 8PM to do so.  If there were any questions, he would stop work and wait until a final decision (mine) was made before continuing.   <br /> Based on the work and effort expended, I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.  <br />

The chimney work took two days (less than I thought) and he did a great job in our price range!  I was impressed that he gave us several options on what could be done.  He worked fast (I wish I had half his energy) and knew what he was doing.  He was respectful of my time and showed up within minutes of when he said he would, got to work and stayed with it to get as much done during the day as he could.  The chimney looks great and I'm very satisfied with his work.  I have hired him again to do some plumbing work for me and was totally satisfied with that job as well.  I would recommend him for any work around the house that you may have - he's definitely worth the call.    <br />

Did a thorough job. A pleasure to do business with. <br />

I needed my gutters cleaned. They were horrible and had their own plants growing inside. I contacted two services from Angie's List and Dirk was the only one who got back to me. Excellent communication and not only did he say he could do my gutters (some of which are over 25 feet from the ground), but also said he could power wash my home (something else that needed to be done). Came by the house while I was at work and sized up the job. Estimate over the phone sounded reasonable. <br /> Showed up exactly when he said he would. Very interesting guy; "intense," professional, and very detail oriented. I came home after he had just finished the gutters and was shocked because there was not a drop of dirt of filth anywhere to be seen. Started the power washing that day and worked till dark. He advised me of all the problems he noted while up high on my house and quoted me a fair price to fix them, e.g., loose gutter straps, trim nails that were popped, etc. He even bought and replaced the dryer vent after noticing it was rotted -- did not charge a dime extra for that. <br /> Very happy with the quality of the work. I'm a perfectionist and I could not have asked for a better job. <br /> Highly recommended. Also can do just about anything else your house might need, e.g., experienced landscaper and carpenter. <br />

Dirk does a beautiful job with everything he does.  He is bright, and he knows how to handle almost any kind of repair or cleaning job. If he needs help with something, he knows many people in the business with whom  he consults.  He makes sure the job is done right.   <br /> He doesn't cut corners. His work is very neat, and the results are always beautiful.  <br /> He re-did painting in my basement after another contractor's work didn't last very long.  Dirk appropriately wire brushed the surfaces that needed it, applied the proper water seal paint and a top coat, and the basement looks great! <br /> Dirk is a very hard worker, and he works fast.  He will do almost any type of repair or clean up work.  He is very neat and pleasant, and he always leaves his work area cleaner than he found it.  Paint is applied precisely, with no drips or uneven edges. Dirk at times has even washed dishes he found in the sink and cleaned my cat litter box. <br /> Dirk came up with an ingenious way to replace window sills that were rotted, rather than replacing the entire windows. He properly removed the rotted wood, replaced it, caulked it, and covered it with new aluminum strips.  They look like part of the original windows, and they are water tight.  His solution was much better (and less expensive) than what the window manufacturer had  suggested. <br /> <br /> <br />

Great work.  for the whole job he was very reasonably priced. <br /> <br /> He saw some issues with our chimney that we hadn't noticed and he fixed it. While he was on our roof he noticed there were some nails loose and he fixed that as well. He was very thorough and checked everything before he even gave us a estimate. <br /> <br /> My wife does daycare at our home during the day and he was not noisy at all. <br /> <br /> When he said he was going to be here, he was always on time. He always cleaned up after himself. He did work for us for a week and he never left a mess in the yard at the end of the day. <br /> <br /> We would definitely consider having him come back to work on future jobs if we need him.

We would hire him again.

Dirk is so far above any of the other 6 contractors who I interviewed for the job and then his performance on the job! I could not have been happier.  I will definitely use him again.  One of the people I interviewed wanted to completely rebuild the chimney, totally unnecessary.  New England Stone and Hearth was called they just stopped returning calls when they saw the extent of work to be done.  I've worked with a lot of contractors here in 06754.  Dirk is so much better than any contractor in the area they could all learn how to do business from him. <br /> <br /> He returns phone call promptly <br /> he shows up when he says and if he's running late he'll call <br /> he under sells and over preforms <br /> he is very knowledgeable and can do a vast number of jobs

Dirk worked very hard.  He told me what he was planning on doing, in detail.  He worked quickly, and he was not happy until the work looked great.
