Phillips Home Repair

I’m back in town and all settled in. I’m about to finish the second of 3 big jobs that have been occupying my time this summer and preventing me from answering my phone or returning phone calls. It really is true that in this business you spend all summer turning away work and spend all winter begging for it. If anyone has any indoor jobs that can wait until cooler weather, let me know now. I can put it on my schedule and I’ll even give you a deal. If you have an outdoor job, feel free to contact me (preferably through email) and I’ll see what I can do. June is pretty much shot and July is full of personal days since I am getting married and moving.

I’ll be getting some pictures of these new jobs up soon, so check back to see those. The one I am most proud of is an entire main floor and part of a basement remodel. I am handling the gutting, door installation, trim installation, and a ceramic tile entry. Flooring specialists installed new carpet in the bedrooms and unfinished oak in the main living space. All the trim I am installing  is custom stained oak and is being done in an Arts and Crafts style. No faux-wood ranch molding and 45deg miters here! I also am about to finish a condo in Coralville where I removed ALL the carpeting and installed 35 boxes of Pergo laminate, stairs and all. They also got new ceiling fans and kitchen appliances, including a fridge that was so big I had to trim the counter and the upper cabinet to make it fit.

Thanks to everyone for your continued patience through the busiest summer I’ve ever experienced.
