This was a much more difficult project than we expected, as during demolition some of the framing was found to be rotten. Roland consulted a friend of his who is a licensed contractor who gave us valuable advice on how to proceed. I am absolutely delighted with the result. Roland put a great deal of thought into it and had some excellent and innovative ideas. He found a way around all the diffficulties and battled through to the end. He kept me informed of his schedule, put in long hours, took pride in his work and produced a truly amazing finished project. I couldn't be happier and would confidently recommend Roland to anyone needing a handyman.

He responded the same day I inquired about the work and set up a time to come out. He said he could do the work, gave us a quote and started a little later. Since he needed to take the door off-site to work on it, he put in a substitute door so we would not have a hole. He did very nice work and it is now finished. A great craftsman. He also did a few other small jobs for us while he was here. He was pleasant and professional.
