Jesse did an absolutely amazing job making this jewelry organizer for my fiancee using a very limited amount of input (it was basically the dimensions), and he figures out how to do every part of it. He even had other suggestions like putting magnets under a thin layer of wood so more jewelry would magically stick to the sides, which I opted out of in the interest of time, but I never would have thought of things like that. I've also got an awesome table that he built. It weighs something like 350 pounds, and whenever anyone walks into my house, people compliment it. It's the sturdiest table I've ever used. It's the second picture. I'd love to give Jesse credit for the stuff on the table, but he didn't make those. Over the years, he's provided sage advice about everything from my car to how to hang my pots and pans in my kitchen, and it's probably saved me thousands of dollars that I could have dumped into it on my own. EDIT 9/8/2020: Jesse has done a bunch more work on my house, notably hooking up the dehumidifier in my basement to the plumbing so I don't have to empty it twice a day in the summer, which has given me a lot more peace of mind when I leave for a few days. The basement no longer smells vaguely of mildew, and it's actually a nice cool place to hang out when it's too hot to be on the ground floor. Jesse also walked me through installing ceiling lights over the phone while I probably had COVID, and my basement has never looked more finished. Again, I can't recommend JPA Services enough.
Highly recommended. Had Jesse come out to do some siding repair. His work is solid, but as important, his responsiveness was amazing. I reached out to half a dozen contractors, and Jesse was by far the most professional of the bunch. He responded very quickly and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. Booked a date to do the work and it was done in a few hours. He also took the time to explain how the damage likely occurred, the best way to resolve it, and what he was doing during the work every step of the way. Very friendly, very knowledge, very skilled. Definitely going to have him come out and do some other projects for us!
While he was there daily to do the work, the quality was very poor . Everything form the dusty mess throughout my hose from the drywall work. even clogged my heaters filter. Seams left in the drywall repair. Drips and texture left by the painting. I found a soft spot on the ceiling where i looks like it was taped and painted, but had no underlying material. Paint was done poorly. maybe 1 coat in places. Don't think anything was wiped down or prepped before painting. Apparently you need to specifically state you want all holes patched, before painting. I really wanted this to be a good experience, He even came out to redo some of the items after I called out easily spotted issues in quality, but the list was just to much. Now I need to have most of the work redone to get it right. The issue with the paint is that the walls were not cleaned from the drywall dust before painting. That is the cause of the peeling paint. This picture shows the old paint showing through the new paint. The bad caulking is me.
