I gave Gary a call for a home inspection quote five years ago when I bought my first house. I…read moreremember saying to him "we have a quote from another guy, but he's a little more expensive than you are." Gary's response was something along the lines of "that guy is a little less expensive, and he's really good. I'm a little more expensive because I'm the best." If you're a home buyer, then you need Gary. He works for you and he takes his job very seriously. He is there to check every little thing in your house; every crack, every outlet, every window, every faucet, every corner, etc. Gary will give you a thorough run down of your investment and he will give you a fair, objective analysis. Keep in mind that it is a conflict of interest to hire your home inspector to do contracting work on your house within a certain time period. Because of this, I am not able to hire Gary to do the actual work that I need done. That is my only regret in my decision to hire Gary to do my latest home inspection. I wasn't aware of this law when I initially hired Gary so I wish I had hired him to do the larger projects instead. However, I am seriously considering delaying these projects until I'm able to call Gary to do the work. To put it simply, I have 100% total confidence and faith in Gary's work. I cannot recommend his services enough.

Had a home inspection done in 2005. I found Gary to have a very high value of himself that didn't…read morenecessarily come across in his work. Gary lied about the time he started. Stating he was there for an hour and had already completed the outside work. (He didn't realize I worked directly across the street and saw him arrive). He pointed out that the detached garage needed major work (valid) and that he could tear it down and build a new one for 30 thousand. I was a little put off that a home inspector could/should be offering services. Note/ the garage was retrofitted a year later for 6,000 with No issue. He was thorough in the review, but rather rude to the owner, myself, and the real estate agent.

I hired Sean from Shores Edge to do some additional electrical work. I had hired Sean previously to…read moreinstall ceiling fans and install some new outlets. This time Sean installed some outlets on the outside of the house, cleaned up wiring/timers for the fountain and installed a new light fixture in the foyer. As I said in my previous review Sean did an excellent job. He is courteous, efficient and keeps the area where hs is working amazingly clean. His prices are reasonable and there are no hidden expenses. I highly Recommend Sean at Shores Edge Electric.

Sean made me feel very comfortable in my home and I'm so glad I chose this company. Highly recommend!

Asked for a leak repair, was quoted for ~$1200 for everything including drywall repairs. I asked…read morehim to repair leaks and leave all drywall for me to try to save money. He proceeded to charge ~$2300 for leak repairs, excluding drywall, which included replacing ~1.5 ft PVC fittings and pretty minimal copper fixes (which he had to bring in another plumber to fix). When I asked for itemized receipt I was given one that didn't include all payments so he had to spend a half an hour making a new receipt fudging numbers to make up the full cost of what he charged me. Actual itemized receipt is incredibly vague and now home warranty company is refusing to pay because what he charged is simply unreasonable. I recommend going with a more experienced contractor. If I had the time I could have fixed what they did for less than $300.

The Sunday before he was to start, we were supposed to meet for key and deposit exchange. He cancelled. The Monday he was supposed to start, we didn't meet until I got out of work at 4PM. Tuesday, he finally started painting. Wednesday he did not work, claiming he was at the E/R with his child all night. At this point I realized it was just him working, not a crew. He told me that he has to let one of his worker's go due to sexual harassment. Matt returned to work on Thursday. At this point, I noticed he was using my kitchen sink and bathtub to clean up. He was also using my trash can and my extension cord. Each day after he left, the house was a complete disaster. He did not paint one room at a time. So my entire home was a mess. I started to put pressure on him and then he showed up with another worker on Saturday and Sunday. The job was not 'finished' until the next Tuesday. As far as quality work, there are several areas in the house that you can still see the original paint through. Forget about clean lines from wall to trim. Paint on the floor. At one point he had to do some sanding in my bedroom. He covered the bed but neglected to cover my closests. ALL of my clothes had a layer of sawdust on them. I have tried to reach out since with a list of items that needs to be fixed but he has not responded and blocked me. NIGHTMARE !

We recently hired JPA Wood Floors to refinish the hardwood floors and stairs in our 1857 home, and…read morewe couldn't be happier with the results. From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and honest about what could realistically be achieved with our floors. Once the work began, they discovered several unexpected challenges, including an old wax finish instead of polyurethane and stairs that had previously been repaired with stripped screws that were extremely difficult to remove. Despite these obstacles, they never cut corners and continued working toward the best possible outcome. What impressed me most was the pride they take in their work. They hold themselves to very high standards and genuinely care about the finished product. Even when I was already pleased with the progress, they continued looking for ways to improve the results. The floors look beautiful and have brought new life to our home while preserving its historic character. The stairs were especially challenging, but they found creative solutions and delivered a result that exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a contractor who is skilled, hardworking, honest, and truly cares about quality craftsmanship, I highly recommend JPA Wood Floors. We are grateful for their work and would not hesitate to hire them again. Thank you, JPA, for helping restore a beautiful part of our home's history.
