We had a great experience working with Jeff Borchers. He expertly came up with a plan for solving the humidity problem in our attic and found good and reasonable solutions customized to our house. He completed all aspects of the work, including electrical, drywall, painting and installation work, with great attention to detail and to our full satisfaction. Jeff’s pricing was *very reasonable* and transparent; he stuck to his cost estimates. He was clear and reliable with his timelines and was very easy to communicate with. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Jeff and would be very happy to do so again.

Between helping to care for aging parents, their deaths, and the pandemic, my house suffered from “squeaky wheel syndrome” — meaning only the most urgent problems got any attention. I hired Jeff to fix some rotted wood trim I had found on garage windows. But Jeff’s initial inspection identified several other areas of serious rot, with the worst compromising the integrity of a 3-panel sliding patio door. When Jeff showed me the problem areas and explained the extent of the damage, I was expecting him to say that replacing the windows and door was the only option — an option that I knew I couldn’t afford given that the door alone would cost about $9K. Fortunately for me, Jeff has amazing skills he learned from repairing and restoring wooden boats. Jeff worked miracles on restoring 14 rotted window frames, making them solid and looking almost new. His repairs are so seamless that I have difficulty identifying which areas were restored. Jeff takes pride in his work and takes the time to do each step correctly. Because restoration is often a multi-step process, Jeff might not be the fastest or cheapest — but he is the best! The high quality of his work has kept Jeff busy in our neighborhood as neighbors could see the before/after results and asked Jeff to put their homes on his schedule. Before writing this review, I waited a couple of months after Jeff had finished to make sure the repairs held up and I was still pleased with his work. I can confidently say I highly recommend Jeff Borchers because he is a rare find - a true craftsman with a huge skill set, extensive knowledge, and years of experience — but most important the ability to find a solution to whatever problem arises.

I had a problem with some mold in a closet. Jeff was able to figure out what was wrong and suggest a cost effective solution within minutes. He also wound up doing some painting for me down the street. I found him to be knowledgeable and competent in everything he did.

Hired Jeffrey Borcher in June 8th, 2020 to install a sump pump and remediate some microbial growth in my crawlspace. Extremely thorough, professional, and very responsive. Was very impressed with his services and plan to use him for future handy man services as he seemed very knowledgeable and handy on a variety of trades.
