"Jimmy Koehler from General Home Improvements (GHI) arrived Monday, 15 May on time as discussed and commenced working. Jimmy began by replacing the fascia board directly above the front porch steps and then proceeded to replace the frieze board on the right side of the porch. We had discussed replacing the left porch post, but Jimmy was able to repair it and saved us money in the process. On Tuesday, 16 May Jimmy finished the work on the porch, including priming the new boards, and then moved to the back deck. He replaced the side board on left side of the back door leading to the deck with a composite board and then moved on to replacing three deck boards that had rotted. Upon removing the board Jimmy discovered that some of the support boards underneath had also rotted and we ended up replacing five boards, which entailed removing the right side of our surround privacy partition that we had installed when we had a hot tub on the deck. In the end Jimmy had to remove two more deck boards for a total of five and then replaced the support?bracing underneath. The fifth board had to be ripped due to the space was about half of what the other boards measured. Since we were not putting in another hot tub Jimmy asked us if we wanted to open up the space and he built an addition to fit/mesh in with the other railing section. The work was excellent and the deck looks great. Jimmy Koehler is truly a Master Carpenter. If you want cheap then GHI is probably not for you, but if you want outstanding quality craftsmanship and a Master Carpenter to complete the work, for a good value, then call GHI. Our original agreement was for $800.00 plus materials. In the end, due to the extra deck work we paid $1400.00 plus $233.00 for materials for a total of $1433.00. In the future I will call Jimmy Koehler for all of our carpentry needs."
