Before and after photos attached will show why SJR Handyworks are the best! We needed to completely renovate a 1970's rental unit in a timely manner as we had new tenants moving in. After receiving 2 other bids, we decided to give Seth the project as he had done work for us before on smaller projects and we knew that he does quality work, is extremely honest, dependable and would be able to solve any issue that would come up with renovating an older property. Seth, his foreman Ron and his full crew did an incredible job getting this project done. Everything in this apartment needed

Indeed, as good as it gets. I had extensive termite and rot problems on the outside. I wanted a repair to last so my son gets a good house when I kick over.

SJR is one of the few who treats the wood (most contractors didn't know it was possible). SJR is the only contractor I know that cuts and drills before treating, priming, and painting - BEFORE attaching (thus the all of the surface gets protected). Attention to details and "doing it right" is their primary goal. I really appreciated foreman Ron explaining things to me when he ran into problems and when I asked for something

I never thought I could give a contractor 5 stars, but SJR sure deserves it. We had a major water leak in our living room after the last rain. We tried to get several contractors, but most were too busy to even come look. We did get 2 to look, but this was major work involving removal of an entire wall with 3 huge windows and 3 small ones, and we were not getting a very comfortable feeling that they knew what they were doing or that they had the manpower to do it. Then a friend referred Seth. We first contacted him late on Friday and he was here promptly early Monday morning. (Yes, really he

We recently purchased a very rundown home and the following is what's been done so far. Massive termite/wood rot damage repair, replacement of broken windows, tear down and remodel of enclosed sun room into a fully weather proofed family room. What can I say? SJR HandyWords Inc. is the not just the best, but THE VERY best in residential contracting. In a world where there are SOOOOOOO many crooked G.C.s (General Contractors), Seth (the owner) takes a very personal interest in ensuring that his team not only performs at the highest level possible, but does NOT let any detail go unchecked
