I am a Realtor and refer my clients to Evans Contracting to finish up any issues before their homes are sold. I have worked with Evans Contracting on numerous occasions, for about 5 years, and have been satisfied with all of their work. The most recent work performed was in January 2011 on the North Shore of Walloon Lake. Mr. Evans did plumbing work on that home. On the previous home in East Jordan, Mr. Evans worked on a hot water boiler venting system. He also repaired a kitchen faucet and central vacuum system.

The one thing that I really like about Mr. Evans is that he is very knowledgeable and punctual. Everything Nick does is in a very timely fashion and I have not yet referred a job to him that he couldn't do and he has done them all extremely well. If I was rating Nick from 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would give him a 10.
