Joe did an amazing job in completely gutting and remodeling my bathroom. He was able to make suggestions throughout the process, was dependable, and completed the work on time within budget. I wanted a vent in the ceiling. He was able to accomplish this without cutting a hole in the roof. He moved an electric outlet to a more convenient location. The end result is a beautiful bathroom. I have complete trust for him to do more work in the future,

Acacia and I can most definitely recommend Joe Arnold. He has done all kinds of work for us and for many others who have asked me for referrals: landscape designing and building, irrigation systems, fencing, roof repairs, plumbing, electrical work, dry wall, installing fixtures, painting, washer and dryer repairs, door installation and refinishing, etc., etc, etc. He is immensely knowledgeable, extremely creative when looking for fixes to problems, easy to work with, and easy to reach and communicate with. As anyone who has had contractors work on their homes can testify, the importance of this last item about being able to reach and communicate with your contractor cannot be underestimated. Here is an example of the kind of work Joe does and the kind of man he is. A friend of ours had started a major bathroom remodeling project. As so so often happens, months into the project, thousands of dollars invested, and major demolition work done, my friend's contractor abandoned her, disappeared without a trace, leaving her for several months without a bathroom. I referred her to Joe Arnold. Giving her exactly what she wanted, Joe finished the job in two weeks and for thousands less than the original contractor wanted. That's Joe. And speaking of having saved this friend money, Joe's fees were always very fair in cost. More than fair. On this last point, beyond the type of savings he generated for one neighbor, several other neighbors to whom I have referred Joe have actually paid him more than his estimate because they felt he was charging them TOO LITTLE. What more can I say than that?

Joe Arnold of Merlin Home Magic has been a valuable resource to me at my home in Oregon. He has helped me numerous times with various projects from building and reconstructing fences, installing a new door, and landscaping work. Joe has a broad spectrum of knowledge and has proved to be reliable, punctual, honest, and fair. I have some larger projects planned and anticipate relying on Joe to see them through.

Joe is terrific. I found Corvallis to be a little difficult in terms of finding someone reliable, careful, talented, skilled, reasonable. Finding Joe was a lifesaver. We thought he was leaving Oregon, but he isn't. Hooray for us.
