I met Mr. Osario before he had his Bear Island Painting business. He was hired by the GC in 2014…read morewhen I was remodeling our home. His work is impeccable and I have used his painting services in 2016 to paint the exterior of my home. I received the same impeccable results. I recently had a small flood in my kitchen. I searched the Internet and requested painting recommendations. One company showed up unprepared and unprofessional, another was a handyman - he under bid everything but I discovered later unreliable, and lastly I called Mr. Osario. His bid was in the middle, he showed on time and was prepared. He showed up as scheduled, was focused, worked 4 hours straight took lunch and worked another 4 hours. Initially he thought the repairs would take 2 days but it took one. He installed insulation, installed new drywall, taped mud and sanded the drywall. He painted the wall and blended the new to existing seamlessly. I will use his services again without hesitation. I recommend Bear Island

In 2018 we had a re-tile of a fireplace surround done with some hand made tile. Not only did they…read morebuy an excessive amount of tile for the job and stick us with a lot of very pricey excess tile, but their installation has left us now with eroding tile, as you can see from attached photos. The erosion began with a haze, which slowly led to a crumbling away of the glaze from the top of the tile. Also, numerous tiles have cracked, which is caused by poor installation. We've received an estimate of $1400.00 for the twelve or so tiles that need replacing. At this point we're unsure if the entire flooring hearth part of the job needs to be torn out. That will be way more costly. We were unhappy in general with all the delays and the slow pace of this company. Now this has made us even more furious about their quality of work. When they were lacquering the wood for the mantelpiece, it kept getting cloudy because they were applying it too close. My husband had to tell the worker how to do it and to back up and stand further away. Their craftsmen were not that skilled in a number of types of work such as applying wood finish and also tile sealant. Their tape that they used to attach protective paper to my rug also ruined it in the spots that they applied the tape. I can't tell you how sorry now that we ever got mixed up with this company.

They were courteous and respectful, always communicating clearly and addressing any questions or concerns I had. Jim made several recommendations that ensured ease of use and with my safety in mind. Jim and Jay also fixed my closet door, improved the lighting in bath and bedroom, and supervised the removal of the rodent highway in my attic among other repairs. Beyond their expertise, they maintained a clean and organized worksite, leaving everything spotless at the end of each day. From start to finish, Jim and Jay demonstrated outstanding professionalism, honesty, and dedication to quality. On top of their exceptional work, Jim and Jay brought a sense of humor and warmth to the project. Their friendly and unique personalities made the experience enjoyable, and I now consider them as friends. (Isn't that what one calls a person who helps move, stack, and organize furniture, boxes, and other cr*p in a packed and cluttered garage?)

During the same time that I was working on my new home, I knew of several other friends who were also renovating or remodeling their homes. I can say without hesitation that no one had the experience that I did. My home when I first purchased it and before remodeling started was in dire need of some major work. No central air, flooring was lopsided, structural foundation work had to be done, needed to change a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom home into a 3 bed 3 full bath plus den home, needed to get permits, install a porch, redo the garage into an extra room, landscaping, etc. The list goes on. From the time my escrow was closed, to when everything was ready for move in, all of this was done in less than 4 months which is ridiculous in a time when materials and manpower was low. Friends who had half as much work to be done as I did spent over a year. In terms of costs, the speediness at which all this work was done saved me an incredible amount of money. In addition, every cost was stated very transparently, including any sudden, unforeseen changes or circumstances, as well as options to add, forego or make adjustments and those subsequent costs. Michael has decades of experience, and was crucial in thinking of things that I never would have that enhanced my home in ways I would not have imagined. He also is very very detail oriented and was always on site, making sure nothing, even small, seemingly insignificant things were overlooked. His staff was excellent, very communicative and knowledgable. He and his employees treated my home like their home, and the final product speaks for itself. Renovating a home can be extremely stressful especially when it is so hard to find a contractor you can trust. I had none of the experience that so many people had by working with Misong Construction, and would recommend them for any job.

Long overdue here... Tyler and team took care of our home in Glassell Park/Mt Washington area…read more Unfortunately at the top of the year when the crazy rains hit we had tons of water damage in our bedroom below an upper level deck. By the end of the investigation of problems we had every French door leading to a deck replaced and 50% of our hardwood floors. Tyler came highly recommended from our mediator and he wasn't wrong. Goodhand was very professional and kept us understanding what was happening throughout the whole process. They completely interfaced with our insurance company to get the budget for the build to the right level and would always go back to them when something new was discovered. To say there were road bumps is an understatement....what made us so happy was Goodhand would never settle for just OK. if they found an electrical problem when they opened a wall it absolutely had to be fixed. I know a lot of contracts who just sweep problems under the rug but not this team. Does the best come at a price? I think the answer is always yes. I'm sure you can find a cheaper alternative out there but if you want your project done correctly with professionalism this is your 1 stop shop period. Highly recommend!

We didn't think we'd ever need to hire a contractor. After all, the relator and seller of the flip…read morepromised everything was "brand new to the studs and only the finest quality!" But as multiple problems surfaced we found a highly recommended carpenter to help us out. He quickly determined that our dream house was a nightmare and that we would need more than a carpenter to fix it. He recommended the best and most ethical contractor he knew, Tyler, at GoodHands Builders. We had to wait a few weeks to get on Tyler's schedule, but once we met with him we were impressed with his creativity, knowledge, and honesty. He is a straight-shooter who carefully explains what work needs to be done and why. He worked with us to find the best solutions for our needs and budget. We gave him a list of over twenty items that needed fixing and he offered to charge us cost-plus since it would be so hard to estimate so many small jobs. That seemed very fair to us. Work began and we received electronic bills every two weeks with transparent details that aligned with what was happening at our house. GoodHands workers/crews/subcontractors were respectful of us and our property. They showed up on time, worked hard, and cleaned up daily when finished. We had two guys who worked at our house six days a week for over a year. I felt totally comfortable being alone with them and leaving them alone when I wasn't home. They demonstrated the same integrity that Tyler did. (They once returned a ten dollar bill they found in the street near where my son's car had been parked shortly after he had left.) In addition to the crews who were here, either Tyler (the owner) or Stephen (the project manager) stopped by daily to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly. When workers found problems (like a screw through the copper piping in the bathroom, walls that were supported by 1x2s instead of 2x4s, cracks in the foundation, showers that didn't drain because they were level instead of sloped, improper water proofing underneath the tile, concrete pavers that rose up causing tripping hazards because they were used to hide a decaying driveway, and a shear wall that wasn't) the crew communicated to management and together they worked to find a solution and only then would Tyler or Stephen bring it to my attention. So while each of these surprises cost us money to fix, by the time I was told about them there were already solutions for us to chose from and plans to fix it. At one point, we realized that we were going to have to tear out the entire primary bathroom and redo another shower because of the flipper's previous faulty work. We decided to borrow from the adjacent bedroom and make the bathroom larger and add a custom closet so we'd have something good to show for all of the time and money we spent on repairs. We discussed multiple layout options with Tyler and he would prepare drawings and estimated costs for each one. The end result is a truly stunning bath and walk-in closet. Everyone we know who has worked with a contractor says that it has cost them more time and money than they expected. At then end of their projects, they all talked about how much they hated their contractors. They were right--it did take more time and money than initially expected. Some of that was due to supply chain issues related to the pandemic, but most of it was related to the shoddy workmanship of the seller and the surprises he left us. None of it was due to the contractor. Before, during, and after the work was was done, we didn't hate our contractor, we felt incredibly grateful to have found him. He saved our house, our sanity, and our investment. When we found new problems we felt fortunate to have someone we trusted to take care of so many unexpected surprises. After the repairs and remodeling were done inside, we again hired GoodHands to remove a cheap plastic lattice and metal structure outside and replace it with a custom-designed cedar pergola stained to match the house. As I write this, we had an electrical problem in the kitchen and thought we needed a couple of outlets replaced. One of the crew checked it for us and found plastic pieces inside the disposal that tripped the GFI switch causing the outlets not to work. It was just a small example of how GoodHands continues to save us time and money. I don't know how they came up with the company name but with GoodHands Builders we really are in good hands!
