Shortly after my wife and I bought our first house, we identified certain items requiring redress and were not sure where to start. A trusted friend of ours recommended I reach out to John for some advice. You'd think from our first interaction that I'd known John for years--he spent a considerable amount of time talking to me and offered to come by in person as soon as he was free to evaluate what needed to be done and help us make a plan. True to his word, John came by shortly after we spoke and took his time going from room to room, both listening to our concerns and questions, as well as making observations of his own. We came up with a plan in multiple parts. Each was soon realized and within a month, we'd addressed more then half of the items we wanted addressed. In the months that followed, we continued to call John for projects or advice on what projects were worthwhile, if at all. He became (and remains--more on that later) our go to contractor. These projects ranged from very small to mid-sized, and he always made time in his schedule for us between home visits to plan, phone calls to discuss scope or cost, and emails back and forth to iron out scopes of work and details. The key takeaway here is that John was always very accessible and communication was constant. As the seasons changed, so did our projects and associated needs. John always made it work. We recently had a sudden and stressful water issue in our bedroom. John had a contact for water remediation and got us in touch right away, and made sure his guys were on site immediately after so we had a wall up as soon as possible. Interspersed throughout all of the above, and other projects, we had plumbing and electrical needs. John has contacts for both, but knew we had professionals in those fields we know and liked to work with as well. John never pressured us to use his contacts and was always willing to work with whoever we wanted to, stressing our comfort and peace of mind with every job. We are actively working with John on several items, small and large, and our positive experience remains consistent. John's crew, which we have met many times, is fantastic. They are polite, hard working, and always showed up a few minutes early. They have always been respectful of our home and property and clean up after themselves. John's approach to jobs, scopes of work, and costs has always been extremely transparent and in our view, very fair. We have never felt overcharged or strung along and the handful of times we raised cost concerns, John worked with us to alleviate them as much as possible. John had never pushed us into spending more money than we wanted, or needed to. He's talked us out of certain projects in favor of a more cost effective options, or not pursuing them at all for practical reasons. As both a person and professional, John is kind, understanding, and thoughtful. He has never brushed off our concerns and explained things as many times as needed to make us comfortable. He was always available for questions--even when he didn't need to be. He has gone out of his way numerous times to resolve small issues that were on our minds solely for the sake of alleviating our concerns more quickly. My wife and I have come to view John as a dear friend and are very grateful to have him in our lives. Our oldest son loves construction vehicles, tools, and big trucks. Of course, John has many trucks to the delight of our son, who talks about him all the time. Every truck we see is "John's truck" and he is ecstatic when he sees him. He pretends to fix things around the house with a toy toolset and tool belt--which John gave him for his birthday. This was one of many, many kindnesses John has shown our son, and you can tell how much our son values his interactions with John. Knowing firsthand how stressful anything construction/house related can be, it is immeasurably valuable to have someone reliable and honest to work with, and we are so fortunate to have found that with John and his crew. We cannot recommen

John did a phenomenal job clearing the overgrown jungle that evolved in our rental property. He and his team trimmed trees, removed all out of control "weed trees", weeds growing through pavers and fencing. They also removed all broken planters and sprayed an organic weed killer in order to prevent returning weeds from taking hold. He sent pictures of before and after and the property was completely clean and free of any debris. We were very pleased with the work, the timeliness of completing the job, and the ease of working with John. We highly recommend him.

John is amazing to work with he is knowledgeable, organize, and thorough. He and his crew did an amazing job, installing new gutters, fixing an underground pipe and rerouting the water. I had damage to steps, retaining walls and driveway repair. This was all beautifully restored. I highly recommend John. I am planning on using John for another job at my home. In addition, his pricing of his job is fair and his detailed estimate is accurate. Joanne C.

Johansen was amazing !!! I had extensive water damage in my condo, he connected me with a water remediation company and then he stepped in to put my house together. I was away on vacation but he made sure everything was taken care of . He has a great crew !!! When I came home there was only one day of work left. My house is now perfect !!!! They left it spotless and put everything that they move back on its place.I couldn't be happier!!!! I highly recommend Johansen for any general contacting !!!!

John Johansen and his team did an amazing job and I could not have been happier with their work. They are reasonably priced, professional, courteous, efficient, and do fantastic work. I called John to fix the concrete in and around my bilco doors as well as fix a water drainage issue in my backyard with my gutter downspouts. John was able to diagnose the issues, provide recommendations on repairs, and (best of all as a new homeowner) did not try to upsell me on unnecessary fixes. His prices were very reasonable given how much they did. Since then, we have had a few big storms and the drainage issue has been completely eliminated! On top of that, while he was here, John even helped me tackle other fixes in my yards to some of my landscaping, going above and beyond would be an understatement! I can confidently say, I will be calling John in the future the next time I need a contractor.

I had a very positive experience with John Johansen & his team! Our plumber left us with a great big hole in our shower wall when he repaired a leaky bathtub faucet. John's men were great and did a terrific job of replacing the tiles. I found John to be very responsive & personable. I highly recommend him!!

I can't say enough positive things about John and his team. We were referred to John because of a leak in our basement. We were told by other contractors that this could be a very expensive fix, but we were met with so much relief when we met John. He told us that he would not jump to over the top solutions if more minor solutions had the potential to solve the problem. He replaced and installed a new gutter system and helped to build up part of the outside land in order to move water away from the house. This solved our problem! It ended up being much less of a financial commitment than I was expecting. Not only is John great at his job, but he is a genuinely kind and honest person and is absolutely lovely to work with! He will always be our number one call whenever we have repair needs around our home. Thank you, John!

John is next level, he is responsive, literally there any time there is an emergnecy. I've never had someone so reliable! But he gets the job done too, with confidence I truly recommend Johansen Contracting. There are so few solid contractors out there- if you are lucky enough to get John working on a job for you then you hit the jackpot.

John Johansen to the rescue!!! I contacted John Johansen to assist in an urgent matter regarding the framing of a fireplace. The work of my previous contractor failed the town building inspection. John responded to my inquiry immediately, met with the town building inspector, then met with me to discuss his plan to fix the failed work of the previous contractor. We scheduled the job and John got the job done! John is honest, thorough, and has an eye for every detail. I HIGHLY recommend Johansen General Contracting and I will definitely use them again.

We have had major siding & painting jobs done by Johansen General Contracting. John Johansen responds quickly regarding estimates. He gives a clear explanation about every detail of the job. He checks in daily to make sure everything is perfect. His staff does excellent work . They always remove all the debris when done. We feel he gives an honest & fair price and never tries to push things you don't need or want. We highly recommend this company.

I called John after our basement had taken on water after a heavy rainfall. Being a first time homeowner and not really knowing what to expect, John walked my husband and I through every little detail of what he was going to do, what we could do to stop the basement from flooding in the future, and pointed out a few other things that could be fixed from his professional opinion. John’s pricing is extremely reasonable, his work is thorough, and keeps you informed on every step of progress. I highly recommend John and his team and look forward to working with them again in the near future!

John and his team are amazing. We had water in our basement after a weekend full of rain, and within 30 minutes of calling John, he was at my house assessing the damage. John is professional, thorough, and communicated very well on everything he was doing. I can't recommend John enough and we will definitely be using John again in the near future for other projects we want done in the house!

We contracted Johansen in the autumn (gutter replacement, regrading, masonry repointing, foundation crack sealing) and we were absolutely pleased with the result. John advises on the right way to go about the projects and he was there himself for each job. We contracted them again in the winter (ceiling repair, interior painting/staining) and on both jobs exceeded expectations. Highly recommended.
