Renovate or Repair a Home Comments: Joseph was the most professional home repair contractor I have ever dealt with. He very carefully analyzes a problem and explains a solution that would prevent further issues. He handles everything, start to finish, without any interruption to our daily lives. His craftsmanship is impeccable, colors carefully matched, and attention to details that make a difference. I have hired him for numerous projects, large and small, and even asked him to carefully search our home for things that might need attention. We will also be hiring him to manage our home in Minnetrista and yard which I have confidence will mean less worry and more freedom. His prices are completely in line with any other contractor, but his work is far superior. Highly recommend Joe and his company.

Whole Home Renovation Comments: It's wasn't easy finding a reliable and experienced General Contractor and we found both in Joe. We lived in our home during the renovation and Joe did a very thorough job keeping us informed of all daily work and maintaining a clean work space. There were some surprises but Joe had alerted us of that probability. We were given a transparent cost, schedule and completion time. Joe's very easy to work with and a true professional.

Whole Condo Renovation Comments: Bravo Joe!!! I was so delighted to see the final result of my condo renovation. I was living and working in San Francisco at that time which was during Covid and Joe was renovating a condo I had purchased in Chicago. I never met Joe in person but we met on Zoom and I felt I could trust him so I gave Joe a budget. He supervised and managed all the work from design to final completion. He called me on a weekly basis to discuss the selections and progress. Amazing project! Let's do another one.
