Tom and his crew dug into a complex job for us this spring. We needed a new floor in one room, and four exterior doors installed around the house. We have a large mudroom (250 sq ft) between our kitchen and garage, and which used to have some low-quality laminate flooring. The floor also creaked and had soft spots, leading us to suspect that the subfloor was damaged, too. In phase one, the worked on the floors. Demo was fast, but then they discovered how bad the subfloor was. It essentially had to be redone, so they put down 1/4" plywood, leveler, and then Durock on top of that. Then they cut and laid about 70 porcelain tiles, complete with a light gray grout in-between. The new floor was a huge improvement, and the room already feels more comfortable and contemporary. In phase two, Tom and two of his guys spent two full days taking out four exterior doors -- a front door, a side door, an entry to the garage, and a basement door. We have an old colonial, so there were a bunch of issues that came up. Some doorways weren't square, so they needed to reframe them; with other doors, the manufacturer didn't include all of the hardware. Tom and his crew were very polite and positive throughout the whole process, and took all of our questions in stride. By the time they were done, we had exactly what we wanted: a weather-sealed house with much more attractive entryways! I'm giving a "B" in Professionalism only because sometime's Tom's crew can leave a few things laying around -- they get it all cleaned up in the end, but could probably work a bit more on keeping the work site neat & tidy during the job. Considering what you're likely to get with the average contractor, though, in terms of wild pricing, gruff personalities, and shoddy craftsmanship, this is a very small price to pay because Thomas J Remodeling is great in all of those other areas. Services Rendered: -- 250 sq feet of floor installation -- 4 new exterior doors
It went very well. I thought the work Tom performed was excellent. His communication and responsiveness was excellent as well. He was definitely one of the better contractors that I have worked with. I also thought he was honest. He suggested that I do not weatherstrip many of the windows because, they were just flimsy windows and the weatherstripping would not do anything. He also found significant water damage around one the exterior doors that had to be fixed. Before fixing it, he contacted me to ask me if he should go ahead with the repairs. The most impressive thing that Tom did was his following up on the work. One of my exterior doors that he fixed did not lock properly. He came back to my house to fix the lock and did not give me a hard time about it. For previous contractors that I have used this act would have been like pulling teeth. Tom was able to find time reasonably quickly and got the job done. Services Rendered: I asked Tom to perform the following: 1) Reset 3 exterior doors and re-weatherstrip (doors were a bit slanted) 2) Re-weatherstrip windows and fix top sashes that do not close all of the way 3) Replace rotted wood frames on 2 garage door bays and replace with a composite based wood. 4) Replace rotted wood frame around an exterior French door and replace with a composite. 5) Fix loose shingle/clapboards on one side of the house. 6) Recaulk around all windows and exterior doors
