Jack Stabb recently completed an addition to our home. He came very highly recommended from good friends who had worked with him extensively. They were 100% right. Jack is extremely conscientious and has the highest professional and ethical standards.
Our home was built in the 1920's and Jack proved himself to be a true artist in the way he took the flaws of our older house, slanted floors et al, and made them "disappear". He further ensured that the charming details of an earlier time were matched perfectly.
We were extremely satisfied with this major project and strongly recommend Jack."

I have known Jack for years mainly because he has remodeled most of the kitchens of my friends in book club.
Recently, I had a long list of things that needed doing around my house, not a new kitchen mind you but all those things that need doing to keep your home up. Jack and his wonderful crew did a great job with attention to detail and care. His team cleaned up each night and completed the jobs quickly and at a very fair price.
Jack, as one of his crew said to me, is as honest as the day is long and he really cares about his customers. That is my experience and I highly recommend him."

In 2004, we hired Jack to manage a complete kitchen expansion/remodel involving significant structural/engineering work, plus full house seismic upgrade , new roof, and replacement of large picture windows. Jack and his fantastic crew did an amazing job, and eight years later, all of the work has held up beautifully.
In 2012, Jack and his team built a 400 sq ft addition with rooftop terrace to our house on a downhill slope, with a complex foundation involving piers. A contractor friend noted that he had never seen a more beautiful foundation. This project also involved reconfiguring existing space with a new study, laundry, and new full bathroom, plus a new heating and A/C system with two zones for the house. Amazingly, much of the work had to be funneled through a narrow 3 foot passage at the side of the house. As with the previous project, the quality of work was extremely high.
Jack only uses solid, high quality subs, including electrical, plumbing, painting, tile, and stone. It was very clear that they all have great respect for his work, and the several that I spent time with made a point of saying that he was the best.
His core crew is very reliable, very pleasant, shows up on time every day, and cleans up at the end of every day. Great guys. There were no complaints from any of the neighbors that were impacted.
Jack drew up a carefully considered, detailed contract up front, outlining all costs over the duration of the project. There were no surprises regarding cost during the course of the project.
Jack is a perfectionist, and committed to client satisfaction. He worked collaboratively with our architect, and with us.
I wouldn't consider anyone else for the next project."
