"Jake was awesome. Very professional and responsive. Job was completed on time with my 100% satisfaction. Original bid was very responsible and mush less than other bids. Even though the work was delayed several times due to weather (& late snow), Jake worked around my travel schedule to get it done. He had some great ideas for the dog run and the new steps on the side of my house look beautiful."
