We never sub-contract, all work performed is inspected or performed by me personally, Material cost required in advance, payment required upon completion.

"Subcontractors were mostly good, but management of them was lacking. I had to personally supervise them because the on site contractor rarely stayed very long. Told the trim finish crew to leave because they did not know how to install crown molding. Got another crew that knew what they were doing. They never asked for periodic payments during the job (as is typical); presented one huge bill at the end. Holland homes builds nice homes, but I would not recommend them for small jobs like mine because you do not get the best crews and you have to wait for them to fit you into their schedule."

"Javier and his crew are just the best! Their focus on detail and commitment to turning out the best possible results have made a tough project a joy. For me they repaired plaster and installed and finished new drywall on a 1916 house (3800 sq ft) and their work is perfect! Javier's response time is amazing and his crews are professional and fun to work with. I cannot say enough good things about these guys and can't wait to see how the house looks after they have finished painting it."

"Great work"

Before we start the construction process we will inspect the perimeter of your home. This is to protect or set aside any of your belonging that may get damaged during the work process. This includes lawn furniture, flower gardens & the like.\nWe remove all the old materials before rebuilding your roof. This is so we can inspect & repair decking, flashing & venting. We use 15 lbs felt on most roofs & 30lbs felt on steep roofs. We always use an ice/water membrane in the valleys & around any pipe opening. We use proper nails for the felt & shingles. We never use staples. After the work is complete, we use a silicon type product to seal all critical areas.\nWe always clean the gutters to remove any construction debris. Your grounds should look the same or better after our work is complete.\nWe will be documenting all work in progress for you to review because we realize most homeowners prefer not to climb on their roofs.\nWe will be glad to discuss all of our building techniques for applying the roof.\nWith over 2,000 projects completed in this area, we invite you to review our portfolio of some of our finished products.\nI have been in the construction business for 20 years. I started out of necessity because I started purchasing rental units at an early age. I quickly learned that I needed all the skills to maintain property so I worked as a journeyman until I developed the skills & confidence I needed to handle almost all trades.\nWe specialize in settling your insurance claim & our goal is to replace your roof in a manner that will set your home apart from the average roof.
