Jim showed up at my home on time and ready to work. He worked steadily for seven hours and completed all of the tasks that I needed done. Jim did exceptional work, cleaned up after himself and took away all of the cardboard and detritus that came with my items. I was very happy with everything that Jim did for me, and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs work done in their home, particularly furniture assembly. Many thanks Jim. I appreciate you. Mon.
Working with Jim was fantastic. He was prompt in responding and in scheduling. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable about what I needed done, and very budget conscious. I highly recommend hiring Ketchum Construction.
Can’t say enough good things about Jim who responded so quickly and also completed the work of moving two beds quickly. This project required disassembly and reassembly of two large bed frames. He is a great guy, very professional and easy to work with. Five stars!
