When was the work done?
Jason has done two jobs for me. He built a porch for me last summer that I was so pleased with that I had him back to build a sun room for me in September of 2013. What was involved?
I live in a dormer bungalow by the bay in Skerries and there was an awful draft that used to come through the front door of the house. I decided to get the porch done to address the draft and to make things look nicer. Like I said, I was so pleased, chuffed really that I got Jason to do the sun room for me at the back of the house. It is fitted out with all top of the range stuff; PVC windows and doors, hardwood floors, slated roof with two velux windows, skirting boards and all electrical and plumbing work. I had a hardwood floor in the adjoining room and Jason was able to match the floor in the sun room to it.
How did you choose Harvest Energy?
Word of mouth from a neighbour of mine up the road. He had a porch built and when I saw how nice it was I rang Jason to build one for me as well.
Had you definite ideas in mind before you talked to Jason Peters?
Nothing definite, no. I had a space at the back of the house that I wanted to do something with, that's all I knew.
Did Jason introduce new ideas?
It was Jason who came up with the idea for a sun room. He talked me through everything including showing me samples of insulation and tiles.
How did the project run?
It was great. Jason and the guys were here every morning on time and I always knew where the project stood. What made Jason and his team good was that they were so particular with every detail. I would watch them working sometimes from an upstairs window and they would really focus on the tiniest details, that's what really made the difference. It's a little like that old saying, "what it said on the package, you got"!
I can't stress enough that Jason was great, the team was great and the work was top notch. Jason had told me that the job would take four weeks and he finished bang on time and at the quoted price. I was at the time and still am delighted with it all, it was a smashing job. I'll be getting Jason back again to insulate my attic next.
What was the biggest benefit to you of using Harvest Energy?
The biggest benefit was the trust I developed in Jason. I had a health issue earlier in the year and I really needed something positive to happen to help me to bounce back up. The porch and the sun room turning out as wonderful as they did was just what I needed, Jason was magic!
What's your favourite part now?
My daughter said it best when she said that "it's just lovely to sit out here, it's so tranquil". One of my favourite things to do in the new sun room is to relax and listen to my old cds of music from the 50's. Jason installed the music system for me when the room was finished. The room was only finished last September and I'm really hoping that we have another nice summer like the last one so I can enjoy it in the new room.
Would you recommend Harvest Energy to others?
Without a doubt and I have been. I think I can say the same as well about all of my neighbours who have had Jason do work for them. My sun room turned out so well that my neighbour two doors up had Jason build a sun room for him also. To date, Jason has done three porches and two sunrooms in the neighbourhood!
