We bought our house new some 20 years ago and got into the habit of thinking that this was a new house and should have nothing to worry about. That was mostly true but the northwest rain and weather did leave its mark. As a result we've got some trims in certain areas of the house including a couple of door frames that got some rotten wood showing up. We did our research and invited a few contractors over for work estimates. Most of the guys did a walk-through and recommended full replacement of the trims and door frames even though the rotten areas only existed in a limited area close to the ground. Oleg was decidedly different. He walked around the house with me and looked pretty closely as we walked, including all my areas of concern. At each spot he stopped and explained our options and answered all my questions. In the end I was convinced partial replacement was the better approach -- it would fix the issue without aesthetic compromise (and I also thought it would still leave us the option for full replacement if ever needed). Oleg's knowledge and willingness and ability to explain things also left a very good impression on me. After reviewing all the proposals, we decided to go with Oleg.
Oleg works as a general contractor and has subcontractors he works with. This is a model some online reviews had cautioned against because of added cost when we did our research. But this worked in our case as Oleg was willing to make our repair/replacement much less invasive without sacrificing the quality. Now the project was done the result speaks to that approach and his expertise. And I'm also glad we've now got someone we can trust and go back to for future needs, which I'm sure we'll have no matter how "new" the house is.
As a foot note, Oleg's flexibility and willingness to help also includes giving us the opportunity or even recommendations to purchase ourselves the materials needed for the project. That would save us some cost as the project was charged at an hourly rate and also let his subcontractor focus on doing his job. He sent me a list of items and quantity to buy so that his subcontractor would have everything ready when he started. This worked out pretty well and also reflected well on his professionalism and mastery of the trade.
