Testimonials

“Recently, I wanted to have my kitchen fan vented outside up through the ceiling and roof. After scheduling several appointment estimates where the contractors did not show up or showed up hours after the scheduled time, I found a wonderful company. Second Wind Home Improvement arrived on time, went over in detail the project and had an estimate that was far better than any other I received. He quickly scheduled the project, showed up on time, cleaned up and stored materials each day and did a meticulous job on the installation. His attention to detail was far beyond what I could have wished for. The molding and paint installed perfectly matches. I will not hesitate to use Second  Wind for  future projects.”

“My wife and I had long envisioned adding a closet to increase the storage in our home, but we never could get the project off the ground on our own. Once we had a kid on the way the project took on some urgency.  At that point we got Tom involved, and things happened quickly.  We gave him the closet dimensions, and he took it from there.  In only two working days the whole thing was framed out, an air vent was relocated, a pocket door was installed, and drywall was hung.  Thanks to Tom, we got the storage space we needed.  Tom’s a do-er.  Highly, highly recommended.”

“Second Wind Home Improvement helped us build a front yard fence that perfectly matched the architectural details of our home. The fence project was only a small area of our yard, yet fairly complicated—exactly the type of job that many contractors either pass on or inflate in price.

From start to finish, the experience was excellent. The craftsmanship was outstanding: every detail was carefully thought out, and the fence looks like it has always been part of the house. The materials used were high-quality, and the finished product is both sturdy and beautiful.

Just as important, he showed up on time every day and left the site clean and orderly, which made the entire process stress-free. The cost of the project was exceedingly fair given the level of detail and skill involved.

We couldn’t be happier with the final result and would highly recommend Second Wind Home Improvement to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and reliable professional.”
