Multiple IKEA assembly projects

Jack was wonderful to work with! I have worked with him on three different occasions and each time he was very quick and produced quality work! I look forward to working with him again in the future!

Gazebo installation

Jack was extremely professional in every aspect of his services. He quoted a very fair price, laid out details of his schedule, completed the assembly and installation as planned and on time. Jack installed a gazebo on my deck, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again knowing the experience I had was great!!

Artwork mounting

Highly Recommend! Jack was very accommodating with scheduling and then incredibly efficient with his time on the job. I had him hang 9 pieces on my wall, and it was done meticulously. He hung a 25 pound mirror in minutes! And the rest of the frames all perfectly lined up. I was so impressed. I would hire him again & recommend to anyone.
