5-Star Google Review from Joe B.:
“PMC did the following: 1) their employees rebuilt the chimney above the roof line to correct a leakage into the kitchen. Eighteen months later a new leak developed. Patrick M. himself climbed up on the roof with me to find a leak. He had his guys caulk some new leaks and it has not returned. He was very concerned that his employees solve the problem for which he had been paid. 2) PMC subcontracted the installation of eight exterior windows and a sliding glass door. All were done on time and courteously. They were Mervin windows and an Andersen door. They painted the exterior trim so that the job was complete. 3) An employee installed 13 interior doors. The supervisor went to the store to pick up additional doors. After a bad cut, we all make mistakes, the craftsman took responsibility and PMC replaced the door, absorbing the cost. The job was on time and done well. The doors operate smoothly and close fully and quietly, which are characteristics that I wouldn’t have accomplished had I done them myself. Every time we open one of the 13 doors, we are reminded of a job well done. This carpenter also installed new rafters in the garage for the completion of the drywalling. 5) PMC hired subcontractors to complete decades old drywall of the garage and install new ceiling drywall. I worked with him to mark the studs and rafters so that I could find them after the walls were sealed. He was understanding and helpful.
We will hire PMC for our next house improvement or repair. The money was well spent.”
