Plumb Line Construction & Maintenance

Review from John B.

Our house has never received so many compliments from our neighbors as going from destroyer gray, to a beautiful olive/green with white trim was just what it needed. John even put white trim around the garage doors. The White gutters are gorgeous, and you would never know that the garage doors were originally looking like scrap lumber and now look brand new. I am so happy with John's work, his bidding that came in with other bids and the difference that made me go with John was that he was honest, and showed me how bad the dry rot really was. I was very angry with the other contractors who told me that either it was okay or that there was no dry rot. Again, I wish I could attach before and after pictures. Services Rendered: Our 45 year old house had not been painted for approximately 20 years. We sent out for bids on painting with 2 colors for our 1300 sq foot house and 1200 sq foot shop.This included cleaning the metal roof, cleaning the gutters, scrapping, spot primer filling and using life time paint. During the bidding, John discovered several beams, posts, and facia that were rotten from dry rot (other contractors did not catch this or said it wasn't bad enough to replace). The dry rot was so severe that the material for some of the main supports were literally sawdust inside. John not only replaced several main beams with treated posts, but he also anchored them to the cement. We also discovered that the porch railing was dry rotted and John removed and replace the railing and put up vinyl lattice for privacy. When John gave us the bid to paint the shop, there were also several areas of dry rot in the fascia, garage doors, and eves. He removed and replaced all of the dry rot on the shop as well as repairing garage doors that had broken springs, glass windows and installing a new "man door. As our garage was in need of new gutters, John also removed and replaced gutters with a continuous gutter, including down spouts. For our garage, John also installed a new storm/screen door for the "man door" leading into the garage.
