"I was very impressed by the way Jim was personally involved, inspecting the work and making sure equipment arrived on time He was always available to answer my questions and explained each stage of the work. I have recommended his company to many of my friends."

-Margaret Ridding, Homeowner

"I have been collaborating with Jim Perkins for about 8 years now. FairTradeWorks is the first company I refer my clients to . The estimates are very accurate, the work is done in a timely manner and all my clients are pleased with the installers and their clean up.

The number one reason I refer my clients to Jim is I know if they have any problem FairTradeWorks will go back as many times as it takes to make it right. In the eight years I have worked with Jim I have not had one single client upset about the finished product and the service. It makes my job easier knowing I have someone I can depend on to complete things and treat my customer base well."

-Pat Reis, Powerperfect Patios

"Jim Perkins is a straight shooter of high integrity. He's the kind of expert you want on your side when it comes to the complexities of construction, and his company can handle any size or type of construction project from the concept and design stage through to marketing and construction. I highly recommend him as a person and his services. "
