John Grubb

About six years ago, while airing my remodeling woes for the basement with a gym member, she suggested I call her father-in-law. He had the knack for construction work and did side jobs for friends and family. When he came over to see what we had in mind for updating the kitchen, we were surprised to find out that he was one of the three original builders who had constructed all of the homes in our late 1970's subdivision. He has been our go-to handyman for not only the kitchen remodel, but also sheetrock repair, pantry shelves, basement cabinet installation, living room fireplace/mantle including tile and hearth. Today he finished one more project to add to that list. Whenever we have him work on something for us, it's like having "Grandpa" here. He not only cares about the project, but he's wonderful and utilizing every last scrap of material. A week ago he proudly told me how the five or six small ends from the two by fours were the only waste. When we talk through the ideas we have about what might work, he never looks down his nose or makes me feel like I'm skimping--no project is too small or insignificant. As I look at all of the improvements that have made our home more livable and beautiful, I know that it wouldn't have happened without John Grubb.
