Hired him to redo our bathroom, the estimate was for complete drywall in entire 7x 7 room) and bathtub enclosure which we already had, plus raising some pipes. He showed up, right off the bat he was missing a part, and had the indecency to ask my husband to drive to Lowes to get it for him. He raised our pipes, ended up doing enclosure, which he required my husband's help with, by the way, and ended up doing drywall only around the tub. He free handedly cut the drywall, almost ripping it, no tools involved but the box cutter, he ruined our brand new Delta bathtub enclosure by not cutting the hole for the faucet correctly and completely ignored the fact that he was supposed to drywall the entire bathroom per agreement for the price, which we are now grateful for. He refused to install the shower valve we requested and insisted to keep the one from 1974. At the end of the job, his total price was 500 bucks more than quoted, he actually rounded it up to the full amount of a stimulus check we all just received, for a shoddy, ridiculous job he did, not forgetting the fact that he did less than 50 % of the job we hired him for. Instead of mudding the drywall he installed around the tub, he kept suggesting to us to actually tile it, and we were agreeing to it just to get him to finish and leave our home. We ended up getting him to return the extra amount he charged us, but considering the hideous job he did, and the fact that he did far less than he was supposed to, we are still considering filing a small claims case to get our money back. Couple of days after he ended up calling us telling us that even the pipes he raised were not correct and he used the wrong parts, recalled, demanding to come back and redo it. We refused. My husband is a big DIY guy, but he has a bad back, so i wanted to hire a handyman to help, but we are ripping his entire work and redoing it ourselves, plus we need a brand new enclosure, which will cost us 400 bucks
Please think twice before you hire him, the guy is a swindler with minimal skill. Here are the pictures of his work, which we are now ripping out.

Reply to Michael's comment: We paid you 1200 in order to avoid the fight inside our home which we hold sacred, and we never entertained the idea of tiling our bathroom until you showed up. Even so, you were supposed to drywall the entire bathroom, because one NEEDS WALLS IN ORDER TO TILE THEM! I have news for you, you are not qualified to be a handyman.

Eric is a very hardworking and conscientious. I recommend his company for renovations and various other handyman work.

The wax ring was bad on upstairs toilet and water damage was happening under our tiles damaging the sub floor. The rotted ply wood was replaced and new tiles placed. Amazing work. They were reliable. Efficient, affordable, and communicated well.

Golden Bear Contracting was a real life saver. Installed a sink in the kitchen that was otherwise not going to fit and I'd have to return. But I loved my new sink so I was determined to make it fit. He did a great job!

I called Aqua Therapy to get an estimate on a shower kit remodel.  I talked with Derek, and he was extremely professional and sent over an estimate pretty quickly.  After receiving the estimate, I called him to discuss what options would save money.  He quickly sent me a new estimate and we scheduled a date for him to come out.  The job came out perfect.  I can definitely say that Derek is a man of his word, his reliability and service were well above par.  His costs were in-line with what was quoted.  I am planning to hire him for my next shower remodel.

I hired them to remove a load bearing wall from my house, I wanted to make sure whoever I hired knew what they were doing since it's such an intricate job, Alfredo showed up to give me an estimate and was very professional and knowledgeable, we agreed on a price, two weeks later his crew showed up, they were super clean, put plastic on all my walls/furniture/flooring to protect it from dust, they got to work and did a fantastic job, I'll definitely keep their contact info for future projects

I am been with this company for a few years and all I can say is that it is a great place to hang your license and the broker is awesome !!

We have used Qualtire a few times now for plumbing repairs at our office. The scheduling has always been easy and the service has been great! Plumbing issues are never fun, but it is great to have a quality company that we can trust when something goes wrong.

I was referred by a friend after a bad storm had revealed a leak in our new home. With another monster storm about to hit us, I reached for a consultation and Geremy drove an hour and a half out of his way on his own time to look at what was going on. Gave me a quick and honest assessment, when asked how much, he was beyond reasonable, and offered to handle the job on the spot, so the next storm wouldn't damage my house! You will regret using this company! My roof guarantees it!

We have used Ken for over a decade and on at least 15-20 projects.  Great guy with great communication skills.  Always happy with his work and his prices.  He has worked in our home while we on vacation and we never had any issues.  I have also flipped a couple houses and used Ken on those projects.  I would recommend him to anyone.

Jeremy the Handyman and his crew were fantastic to work with on our remodeling projects! Jeremy came out and gave us a free quote for some different things we wanted done around our house and his prices were more than fair! We scheduled our first project, which was changing the lighting in our kitchen,  for a couple of weeks out; in the time we were waiting we ended up having a small plumbing emergency and Jeremy came out that night to take care of it! On our original project that we scheduled his guys showed up on time and were very friendly and got started right away! While they were here we had another plumbing problem that had nothing to do with our kitchen lighting project. Jeremy ran to the hardware store and picked up materials to fix that while his guys were working in the kitchen. They finished the work quicker than originally quoted and we couldn't be happier!
If you're looking for an honest, friendly and professional handyman this is who you need to go with!

We highly recommend Advanced Custom Renovations for your next home project! This is our second project with ACR, and we are VERY happy. From quote to final walkthrough, James, Leanne, Fred, Derek, and Keith took excellent care of us! One of the best aspects of ACR is their willingness to meet the exact design you're looking for...even if that means multiple quotes and conversations. They prepped us from the very beginning regarding the timeline and challenge of materials and the team kept us on track!

In addition to their quality of work and project management, I loved how they document EVERYTHING with pictures throughout the whole project. Step by step, there is a quality check and approval of work by the Project Manager - bravo! This is a major piece of mind.

We completed a full remodel of our Primary Bathroom with minimal hiccups - we ended on time and on budget. When there was a hiccup, Keith and his team were on it immediately. BRAVO!

We 100% will be using ACR for our next project!

We had our dated kitchen counter tops and 2 bathroom counter tops replaced with beautiful new quartz ones installed by Petrus in December 2017. They also installed brand new sinks, which they were able to source at better prices than we could find. We are 100% satisfied with the work and the service. Fabio was easy to work with and highly professional. The work was done on time and the crew cleaned up the site very well. We highly recommend this business.

I just wrapped up my 3rd job with JM Contracting and we couldn't be happier!!! The first job Josh (owner) did for me was our back patio roof. We discussed a drainage issue and out of all of the other bids I obtained and telling them all the same issue, Josh was the ONLY one that suggested we get an architect/engineer to address the problem. He naturally got my bid! Josh got on top of the drainage issue and once the engineer/architect (Quincy) did his calculations, pictures, etc. we came up with a solution. Josh was able to do the entire job, also addressing an issue with my sagging roof that was putting all its weight on my french door lintels which required shoring it up and stabilizing it, he stayed just outside of our original budget.
We have had NO problems with drainage since and that has saved my master bedroom floor!

Josh remodeled my master bathroom and my father's bathroom within the past 4 months as well. The outcome is stellar!!! Our bathrooms now look like they came right off of HGTV! No kidding! I highly recommend JM Contracting for all your contracting jobs. Josh is great to work with, his team (including his subs) are spot on too. Josh oversees everything and he is a total prefectionist...a keen eye for detail and making sure it looks 110% perfect!  Thanks Josh for such great work! We will be using him for our next remodel of our kitchen and our pool decking too!

Martin and his team are some of the best in the Valley!! They are so kind, thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely kind people. We are so pleased with all the work they helped us with, including a new fireplace and surround, wainscoting, whole home painting, lighting, shiplap, and many other projects! Outstanding communication and even better people! It's been a pleasure to meet Martin and Calvary Tile & Stone will be my first and only contact when we need any construction, electrical, and/or any other help!

Simply put, Mike Roberts and his team did a phenomenal job on our kitchen. We are completely thrilled with our results, and are very indebted to Mike and his team. Every aspect of the process was agreeable for us, from the original quote, to length of construction, to payment plan. Mike communicated very well and let my wife and I know what would be happening when. As this was my first major renovation, the certain power of horror stories from friends who have undergone similar renovations really biased my view against having such a major project done in my home. Mike reassured me, and followed through. He was communicative, had solid follow up, addressed my questions as I went along, and generally had subcontractors there when they needed to be there. He was also sensitive to the needs of a historic home, and the finished product, although modern, really does work well with the historic façade. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mike Roberts and the Second Avenue design team when considering your next home remodel.

TWD will get the job done.  Your satisfaction is NOT guaranteed.  Their loyalty lies with their company first, not you, the customer.  Buyer beware.  My wife and I paid them $24,000 for a stucco job.  We had the entire house transformed from siding to stucco.  The project took the better part of a month.  For their part, TWD showed up every day and worked the project from start to completion.  You'll find our grievances below.

First, we paid them $12,000 to start the work.  The job was just underway when we got a letter from an attorney letting us know they would be putting a lean on our house immediately following the completion of the project if our final payment was late for any reason.  This was quite a shock.  We have worked with numerous contractors in the past for larger sums of money and never experienced anything like this.  We called to get clarification on why this letter was sent to us.  We were assured this was just a formality, but later came to believe it is a scare tactic TWD uses to ensure they get paid quickly so they can duck out the back door if necessary.  This is what we feel happened at the tail end of our project.

Secondly, the clean-up crew, if you can call it that, left a mess.  They did a very poor job.  Our front and back yard were left a wreck.  Even the project manager admitted they did a bad job when he arrived to collect payment.  He offered to send guys back out, but we declined and cleaned it up ourselves to get it done right.

Thirdly, when it came time to paint our house TWD left us in the dark and did not provide us with any guidance or color samples.  We were told by the project manager to just go down to Sherwin Williams and pick out two colors.  We were very uncomfortable doing this, but did so hoping for the best.  After the house was painted my wife and I wound up very unhappy with the colors.  We mentioned this prior to clean up and the final inspection of the project.  We asked if they would be willing to repaint.  We even agreed to pay for materials and labor to get it done.  We were given the impression they were going to do whatever it took to make it right.  Then the next day we were essentially rushed out the door.  The next morning the clean-up crew arrived and we were told they would swing by to collect final payment later that day.  After handing over the final check we asked about repainting and were told they would get back to us in a few days.  They didn't.  When we followed up they quoted us $7100!  We told them there was no way this was a realistic number since the house was prepped, primed, and painted by one man in a single day and this was a third of what our entire month long stucco project cost.  So they came back with $4335.  This still seemed too high.  I priced the job myself and found I could do it for under $1500.  I called and got quotes from other contractors for $2000.  When I approached them with this information and asked if they could come in closer to this cost I was told no.  They told me, and I quote, We believe the product turned out great. We apologize the paint colors weren't what you were hoping they'd be.  So I guess if they're happy with the job when it's finished, but you're not, you're SOL.  You should be very wary of this if you plan on hiring them.

Ultimately, we did not feel like valued customers.  We can't help but think TWD could have tried harder to make it right.  We have a hard time believing another company wouldn't have repainted our house at or around cost after what we had spent on the entire project.  As a company they could easily have written off any claimed lost profits as if it were a stand-alone job.  Alternatively, they could have put us in touch with a sub-contractor willing to do the job for less.  There were solutions.  We could have all walked away happy.  In the end, the company was more concerned with moving onto their next project and less concerned with finishing our project to our satisfaction.

For these reasons, we cannot endorse or recommend TWD.
