LASTING CREATIONS LLC

I had experienced some water damage in my living room earlier this year. I contacted Jerry through Angie's List and he responded in less then an hour. A few days later he came to my house and gave me an estimate for the repairs I needed. The estimate was right in the middle of what I expected it to be. I agreed to go forward and two days later Jerry was at my house promptly and fixed my wall in one day. <br /> Not only did I have to have drywall and molding replaced but my walls are textured with plaster. Jerry told me that the texture would not be a problem and that he could match it exactly. He wasn't kidding. You can't tell the difference between the original and the repair.  No other contractor said they could do this! Jerry was extremely professional throughout and his work was of the utmost quality. <br /> At the end of the day, I had my wall fixed and it looks great, we settled on the agreed upon price and I got my living room back. I will eventually need to make some other repairs in my house and I will be going to Jerry first. Thank you again! <br />

It went well.  He knew what he was doing and he did it well.  He was cooperative and responsive. <br />

My wife and I purchased a home to be used seasonally in Port Orange Fl.  I was headed there to do some work on the inside of the house and I searched Angie's List for contractors that could do the external work that was needed. <br /> I contacted Lasting Creations prior to my arrival in Florida and set a time to meet and review the needed repairs.  Jerry was easy to communicate with and understood exactly the scope of the work that I wanted done.  He provided a quote that I thought was reasonable and we agreed on terms.  When he told me the date on which he would begin, I explained to him that not only would I not be there while he did the work but for most of the time I would be out of the country and unable to be contacted. But his previous reviews were so good that I had every confidence that he would do a good job.  Jerry completed about 75% of the work prior to my leaving the country and during that time I received photos by text and email showing the progress.  Upon returning, I came to Florida to review the finished project and could not have been more pleased.  He met me at the house when I arrived and we reviewed the work.  It was exactly as I had asked and reflected the promise that he had made. <br /> We intend to have further repairs made when we are there for the winter and I have already told Jerry that we will be contacting him for the needed work at that time. <br /> Thanks to Angie's list for helping me find a reliable contractor.  Since I'm seasonal and new to the area, it was the perfect way to research and hire the needed skills and have the confidence to leave and have the work completed properly as agreed. <br />

Jerry was great to do business with. Very professional. Everything was done exactly as written in the estimate, and there were no surprises. Kept us updated as work was being completed throughout the day. Would definitely work with him again.

Jerry was quick to respond to my request to see what needed to be done and give me a bid to do the job. He was always on time, did what he said he would do, professional and took the time to explain how and why the repair needed to be done correctly rather than making a temporary fix. Great workmanship. Would not hesitate using Jerry for future repairs. <br />

When I called, Jerry answered phone.  He came out next day to check out problem and gave us an estimate.  He was able to work us in right away as time was a problem with us.  He showed up on time and did his work.  The sink area was a mess but when work was finished, it looked like a new cabinet.  He did a great job blending in the paint and you could not notice that a repair job had been made.  While working, he found a hole in drain under sink, which he was able to take care of.  This was probably what caused the problem with cabinet but we were unaware of same.  Thanks to someone who knows what he is doing, problems were taken care of.  When he finished his work, he cleaned up and left everything in order. <br /> Thanks so much for getting us in touch with someone who handled our problem in a GREAT manner. <br />

I contacted Jerry originally to replace a broken window in my vacation home but did not use him since I ended up replacing all the windows in the house. I then removed paneling from a wall inside the house and needed it to be drywalled and painted. Jerry made useful suggestions and also insulated the wall and matched the textured paint that he put on the wall to the other walls in the room. He did a great job. In addition, Jerry kept in constant contact with me since I was doing the renovation project remotely and there were no surprises with the work.I would recommend Jerry to any of my neighbors and friends. <br />

Jerry was very professional in his work. He explained every step. I would use again in the future. <br />

<p>Jerry removed about a 4' by 3' area of a prior stucco repair that was very, very obvious.  He found some cracks in the block under the patch and taped them (he took the initiative to do this - I had no idea that they were there).  He then re-stuccoed and retextured to match the existing stucco on the rest of the wall.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>To me, stucco is a difficult medium - it's essentially a concrete patch on a vertical surface.  It requires more than a contractor.  It requires a contractor with an understanding of how to match and blend existing surfaces into the new patch.  There's an element of artistry involved, and Jerry proved more than up to the task.  While the patch had been quite evident before his work, you'd have to know it was there now to 'find' it.  Which is exactly what I was looking for.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Bottom line:  Jerry isn't the least expensive.  But if spending a bit extra to get the job done right is something you're okay with, he's your guy.  I'm very pleased with his work.</p> <br />

I had been trying without success to get several recommended contractors in to complete this work. I turned to Angie's List, and called Mr. Comer because I was impressed with the member reviews of his service. I reached Jerry at about 6:30 p.m. He came to view the job the following day and gave an estimate of $1,000. He said that he would try to get to the job as soon as possible, and promised my wife that it would be completed before our grandchildren arrived three weeks hence. In fact, he started the job the next day, and completed it in two days. He was extremely professional and did excellent work. He protected our carpets and cleaned up completely. <br /> <br />My wie and I are very impressed with the quality of his work. We will use Lasting Creations LLC again if and when we need plastering or similiar work performed. <br /> <br />

Jerry Comer was an exceptional individual to work with from start to finish. His knowledge of repairs was in depth and he performed all of our work expeditiously. Jerry was very professional and courteous, making sure that any debris from the work he was performing was cleaned immediately and left no mess of any kind behind when he was complete. Jerry did a great job of communicating every step of the repair process and ensuring that we were comfortable with him and the work he was completing. With Mr. Comer you truly receive what you pay for, his work ethic speaks for itself and the way he goes about his business is second to none as he is willing to do what it takes to make sure you are completely satisfied when he is done. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

<br />      I hired Jerry of Lasting Creations, LLC to fix some structure issues that had resulted form years of settling. The home is located close to the beach. Years of salt air etc. had caused stress cracks on the front corners of the home. Jerry completely chipped back the brittle cracked stucco and reenforced it with hydrolic cement to take care of the structure cracks.  He re-stuccoed the front of the home, put coins which are the square raised patterns on the corners, four in all. Around the windows he built solid concrete bands, with keys, which are diamond shaped accent pieces at the top of each window, as well as the top of the garage. I am very pleased <br /> with the results! Jerry is a hard working independent business owner, don't let the tattoos fool you. Jerry is a man of integrity. I gave him a deposit check approximately a month and a  half before the job was started. He held the check until the day he physically started the job. He showed up on time, he preformed to the letter of our contract. Jerry takes pride in his craft. He may not be your cheapest bid....But keep in mind sometimes the cheap comes out expensive, especially if you have to rehire someone to come and fix shotty workmanship. I would definitely hire Jerry of Lasting Creations LLC. again in the future. <br /> <br /> <br /> Jerry, The owner of Lasting Creations, LLC. Took my old 1977 stucco brick home and modernized it through the art of stucco. :) <br />

He was on time, pleasant, professional and a perfectionist! He recommended choices which we would not have considered, recommended the best solution to permanently repair our wall. His work was so well done we can not even see where the holes were. Best yet the way he did the work it will NEVER come back. Outstanding professional!!! <br />

He scraped wallpaper (my least favorite thing), repainted, handled a drywall patch job that has been sitting around waiting to be fixed since before I bought the house, and redid the screening of one of my doors. He did a great job - very professional, and he was careful and cleaned up after himself.  Jerry is in demand - and I can see why - which means it took us a bit to find an open spot in his schedule, but it was well worth the wait and he did an excellent job. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.

He was excellent. He took the time to explain everything and produced his license upon request.

Service was top notch. Jerry is professional, knowledgeable, gracious and good at his work. He quickly figured out the best solutions for the issues we were facing and did an outstanding job implementing them. I had a concern going in about the patch work on the drywall/plaster wall, because I knew it would be difficult to repair the hole and make it look as if it never existed. The patch work was fantastic and that alone earned my trust for future business and referrals. <br />

It went very well. The wall looks fantastic! <br />

I noticed the broken soffit and called around to see if someone could help.  The first person told me I would have to wait two weeks.   <br /> Jerry was in the middle of a job when I called him.  He asked me to take a picture and text it to him.  He said he would call me after work.  He did just that.  He told me it had probably been broken by an animal who was using it to get in and out.  I told him that worried me a lot so he said he would come over that night.  He did and he fixed the problems for me.  He was very nice and I would definitely hire him again. <br />

Jerry removed the old stucco ( ground it down to concrete block and weather proof material, lath etc ) and re-stuccoed the entire upper surface of the foyer entrance to match the pattern of the building.  We had water intrusion from the roof with the old stucco, so as we were replacing the roof we wanted to correct the stucco which was damaged. Jerry did a great job coordinating with the roofer as well as getting the job done timely.  He also did a great job matching the exterior stucco pattern.  The job was done on time and on budget.

 Jerry did a great job matching the stucco pattern of the exterior and matching up the concrete block lines oin the inside of te storage area.  You can't  tell that there ever was a rusty old vent there.  YThe job was completed timely and on budget,despite dealing with some pretty bad weather ( for Florida). <br />

I think the whole process went well. Jerry was punctual and stayed with the job until it was finished. He showed pride in his workmanship.The one thing you should realize is Jerry is not cheap. The first time I met him he was wearing a t-shirt that said, "Good work is seldom cheap; cheap work is seldom good." I agree. His prices are fair, but not cheap.  If you're looking for a bargain, Jerry may not be your man. If you're looking for good work and a dependable worker, give Jerry a try. I plan to have him back for more projects.

We found Jerry through Angie's List, having just subscribed. We hired Jerry to fill in an exterior window and were overall very pleased with his work. We had other estimates performed and although his was on the high end, we felt he was more professional and responsive than the others (plus Jerry is licensed and insured where the others were questionable) and therefore worth the price. The filled in, interior wall blends in perfectly and only we know that there used to be a window there. The exterior wall was much more <br /> difficult to blend in but Jerry did a fine job with that as well. We would recommend Jerry and would hire him again. He shows great attention to detail and wants the customer to be satisfied.

fast and effective. <br />

Jerry came to our home and gave us an estimate on the repairs we were needing to fix cracks in our plaster and drywall.  He was able to come the next day and make the needed repairs.  He was on time, did an excellent job.  Took time to explain to us why we were having this problem and explained what products he was going to use.  He is such a nice young man.  I would recommend him again and again. <br />

it is all positive
