Testimonials from some of our satisfied clients


Hello John,

I wanted to thank you for your help regarding the work you did at my townhouse in Ramapo Reserve. Your response time was terrific, and your knowledge and expertise was fantastic. It helped to close the sale more quickly than expected. I have your business card on file and will not hesitate to call you the next time I need a repair.

John and his crew did superior workmanship in a tight time-frame, and all with a remarkable level of communication. Truly unheard of in the world of contracting. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Dear John, I want to thank you and your crew who worked diligently to repair our leaking outside panels as well as repairing and restoring our inside window sills back to its original condition. All work was done within the estimated cost and time frame. Hopefully I will not need you again to repair damage caused by such a storm such as Sandy. However, if needed, you will be the first I call. Great job.

I was having a problem with an air conditioner on the second floor of my house. It was dripping inside all over the wall. I looked around for some local handymen who could assess the best way to deal with the problem. John Johansen was the guy I chose and I am glad I did.

I contacted him through his website. He called me back less than an hour later. He took time to listen and started thinking of solutions right away. John was able to accommodate my schedule and show up the next day. He arrived exactly when he said he would. John fixed the problem at a reasonable price and was able to make some helpful recommendations about other issues in the house. Based on this experience I would highly recommend his services.

John,

Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the roof repairs.
Couldn't have asked for a better repairman than Angel.
He was so careful not to disturb 1 petal on my posies in the front yard.
Felt bad Angel had to be out there doing roofing in such extreme heat.

Birds are all confused as to where their Condo went. Tell Angel to be on the lookout.
Saw some birds take down his license plate number as he drove away!

I first met John after Super storm Sandy; I needed siding replaced as well as a leak repaired. John came over looked at the damage and immediately knew what needed to be done; he is courteous, knowledgeable, professional and most importantly reasonably priced. He has an eye for detail and is a perfectionist, full of ideas and always has a plan A, B, or C to accommodate the homeowner’s needs. I am very pleased with the repairs he performed! I can’t wait to have him start on my next home improvement project, an entrance for the basement! Stay tuned …

John - Just an extra thank you for the good work you and your crew did on our roof, leak inside attic and work on chimney!

You were prompt, completed the work in record time, your prices are fair, your work crew are pleasant and polite and best of all you clean up completely before you leave the job!!

The roof looks great, you can't tell the difference between the old and newly repaired section.

Be well, Tony and Jelsa Belotta of Verona

I am writing to let you know that I am amazed at the speed and accuracy of service with your company. It is not often that a contracting service actually arrives when they say they will and then follows through to complete the work within the same week as the estimate was received. This was critical for us, as we were on a tight timelime to finalize an insurance claim. Beyond the speed of service, I also wanted to comment on the team who came into our house. They did meticulous work, were extremely friendly and courteous cleaning up all evidence of the job. Overall, we were more than pleased with the leak repairs and painting so much so that we most certainly will use your company again in the near future. Thanks again and we are looking forward to finishing all other home projects with you, big or small.

Wow! I called for a handyman to help with a hole in my ceiling, when I foolishly fell through from my attic. I thought, this is going to take forever, new drywall, spackle, sand, and paint. But John Johansen sent over 2 guys that patched the hole (2’ X 4’) and painted the entire ceiling, so it would match, in less than 5 hours. The price was fair. The work was perfect, and I’m happy with his service. That’s the way the job should be done. Thanks John!

Hi,

You came to our house exactly two weeks ago. (And I understand my father resent a request for the bill via e-mail.) Apologize for this belated testimonial.

It's been two weeks waiting for much hotter weather to arrive. As of now, our temperatures are in the 90s so it allowed us to put the system to the test. The new A/C has been wonderful so far. We also appreciate the roof examination and going beyond what you came here for. Thank you so much! :) You've been a lifesaver.

(We also haven't had much of an animal problem ever since that day.)

Won't be afraid to call on you again as you get the job done in a snap.

Johansen G.C. has been providing various services (spackling, painting, tiling, concrete, etc.) to our community for over a year now. Our home owners have been very pleased with the quality of work, professional attitude and commitment to details (beautiful finish and cleanliness). I would continue to refer your company to anyone who asks. We at the Wentworth Group wish you continued success. Thank you for your service.

After Hurricane Irene our basement was a disaster. Thanks to John and his crew our basement looks like a million bucks. His workers were polite, on time and neat. John delivered his promise and got our basement done on time. I would hire him again and of course refer his service. A job well done!

I just want to let you know that John Johansen replaced my front door and screen door after they were blown apart by a hurricane. He did the job quickly and inexpensively, and I have to say door is securred better than the one the builder had originally put in.

I would highly reccomend John to anyone who is looking for a quality job.

Dear John,

I can not thank you enough for the wonderful job you did today in dismantling and packaging the exhibit "Rebirth After the Holocaust". I know this exhibit presented many challenges both by its sheer size and weight as well as by its fragility, and you handled both issues with obvious skill and professionalism. The exhibit is now, I believe, packed more effectively and safely than we received it this past fall.

I also appreciate how accurately you were able to estimate the costs and the time commitment of the job ahead of time for me. You and your crew were timely and efficient and the job was completed within the guidelines of your estimate and in truly excellent manner.

Although I understand that this project was somewhat outside your usual scope of work, I sincerely hope you will consider taking on similar jobs like for us in the future.

Wow!

I wanted to thank you for renovating our laundry room last week.

As you know, a neighbor damaged this room when he forgot to put the lint trap underneath his sink. The result was gallons of water that came through our ceiling, and the room was soaked. The walls and floor were buckled, and we lived in a temporary mode until we could get this fixed.

You, AJ, and Julio did a wonderful job. Not only did you fix all the damage, but you moved our washer and dryer to make better use of the room. It looks twice as large now. You did a terrific job with the new shelves, too, and we can put our things in permanent places.

A side benefit - we have our hallway back. Kenny and I played ball today, and he didn't have to run a slalom course to retrieve it.

Eric and I can get used to this!

John Johansen did fantastic job!

Martin,
Just want to let you know I really appreciate your referring John to me. He rescued us and allowed us to restore electricity over his patched siding. I strongly recommend him to any of your customers.
