I have a rental apartment in Anderson, CA which sustained heavy damage due to a fire.  Instead of using the insurance company's "big name" contractor, I went to look for my own to get better quality at a lower price.  I sure found what I was looking for with John.  I was a bit apprehensive at first since there was only one Yelp review.  Glad I decided to move forward with him.  During the walk through and estimation, he was very thorough, bringing up issues I never would have thought of myself.  He worked with me to find the most cost-effective way to do all the repairs.Within just a couple of weeks, he replaced all the drywall, rebuilt cabinets, painted, sealed, corrected the whole unit.  I was very impressed to see the work was done with very high standards.  All the drywall joints were flush and undetectable, cabinets were perfectly trimmed, corners were clean, doors were hung plumb, paint was applied nice and thick.Because this was an insurance-funded repair with my bank holding the payments, there were delays and errors in the payment processing.  He was very patient and willing to work with me on creative ways to get him paid.  After the job was done, the new tenant reported a faucet he had installed broke off.  We are not sure if the tenant broke it, or if the part was faulty, but John ordered the replacement part and repaired it promptly without hesitation.  This is an indication of the high standard John works to.  I will definitely use him for any future projects in the area.
