I had a major flooding issue that filled my basement, three days before Christmas. It turned out the piping in my basement of the house I had purchased only 1 year ago had virtually disintegrated under the tile. My wife was 9 months pregnant and was ready to pop (which eventually happened only 12 days after Christmas). Plus, we were hosting my family Christmas Day as my wife was not doing well with travel at the time. Essentially, I was close to having to having a massive coronary. It turned out I needed to have an excavation and get the entire pipe work replaced, on December TWENTY FREAKING SECOND and needed to have it done in advance of my family coming over on Christmas. Even if we had moved Christmas elsewhere, this was not the condition of the house that I wanted my newborn baby to come home to. I needed help but being a new homeowner, I didnt have a Rolodex of service people... I had worked with John Johansen on a dishwasher installation about 6 months ago and found him to be a pretty good guy to work with. I doubted he was going to be able to complete the work but my hope is he would start it and maybe, we could get it done after the holiday. His response: "Lets see what we can do." Well, on Dec. 22nd, John came through, excavated the entire area that was affected, worked with a local plumber (who is equally due for sainthood) to lay down a completely new pipe infrastructure. Then he returned on Dec. 23rd to lay down concrete over the entire area where him and the plumbers had replaced the piping. Finally on Christmas Eve, he returned to lay down all new tile and cleaned the entire area. Christmas morning it was as if the basement had never flooded at all as all of the affected areas in our basement and garage looked pristine. Due to his work, we actually were able to still host Christmas at our house. Amazing. I seriously cannot thank this man enough for all that he did for us at a critical time, where he could have easily blew me off or drove costs up tremendously due to the holiday. He saved my familys Christmas and helped bring the house to a level of presentation my eventual daughter (who was born on January 6th) deserved. On top of it all, his price was extremely reasonable for the amount of labor him and his team put in. I recommend him with the absolute highest praise and urge you to give him a call. I cant think of an example of better customer service in my life. He is the best.

Last year a pipe froze in our house and destroyed our basement. By the time everything was said and done with the insurance company they settled with us at about $8,000.00. We are talking about an entire finished basement with a kitchenette, full bathroom and a full bar. They then told us to find a contractor to rebuild all of this within their budget. We met with 8 contractors in a little under a year. Seven out of the eight contractors told us they couldnt do the job unless we contributed another $30,000.00. They also said to try and negotiate with the insurance company to get more money. I asked them if they would help me and they all pretty much laughed and said good luck!!! They eighth and final contractor was John Johansen from Johansen General Contracting. When I told John how much the insurance company had offered me, he then told me with a very disturbed look on his face that the insurance company was cheating me and that he would fight the insurance company to get the additional funds that were necessary to complete this job! By the time John was done with the insurance company they had agreed to an additional $36,000 to rebuild my basement. I know have a beautiful, completely up to code amazing basement!!!! John Johansen is sensitive, caring, understanding and completely reassuring when it came to our project. He returns all phone calls, shows up on time, keeps the job site completely immaculate and best of all finishes on or before schedule with perfect results I would recommend him with the highest of regard. Thank you John and your amazing crew of workers and other licensed sub contractors!!!

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.

Finding a reliable contractor who will actually return your call, and show up and perform quality work is far and few between. Im happy to report Johansen General Contracting is one of these rare specimens. John and team have completed work for me on several occasions the past few years, and I am continually pleased with their performance. John is a straight-shooter who will make sure things get done right the first time. If you are looking for a contractor who can provide an excellent work product, I highly suggest you give them a call.

I had a leak in the basement near the boiler. It was getting worse by the day. Called John Johansen and explained the issue. He came by to take a look at it. He arrived on time, assessed the situation and fixed it quickly. Excellent work. He also made suggestions on other things I could do in the basement and around the house. Highly recommend Johansen General Contracting to anyone looking for great work at a fair price.

Finding the combination of a very nice person and a great honest contractor is rare these days. We found that person in John Johansen. He and his crew did an excellent job installing ceramic tile in our bathroom. They were courteous, always on time, meticulous in their work and completed the project on the day it was promised. The tile looks great! We would highly recommend their services.

Johansen General Contracting did a incredible job restoring our customers water damaged basement. From the demolition, to the new electric & drywall, carpentry, trim, flooring and paint. One call did it all. This place looks like a resort. On time and under budget. I will be using Johansen General Contracting at my own home and highly recommend them.

John is a great contractor & also a great dude. In terms of work, he & his crew are hardworking & professional. They show up promptly, do an excellent job at a fair price, & clean up well before leaving. In human terms, he is friendly & a funny but also intelligent conversationalist. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Johansen was gracious enough to meet my wife and I on a very short notice to review a bathroom issue that could have potentially prevented us from closing on our first home. Super intelligent, detailed, and a very meticulous professional. Highly recommended!!!!!

Weve been using Johansen General Contracting for the past 6 years on over 15 properties. They do wonderful work and are always our first call. Building decks, painting, structural repairs, kitchen and bathroom remodels...as John says " [They] do everyting" ☺
