Description of Work: When you hire someone to work for you, your hope is to get someone who'll pay as much attention and care to the work at hand as you yourself would. But if you're a realist, you know that's always going to be a bit of a long shot: after all, it's your stuff--it's rare to find someone who'll care about your stuff as much as you do. I originally contacted Rick to help us prepare our home for sale. We found him on ThumbTack after posting for maintenance repairs such as restoring our oak cabinets throughout the house, removing a deck with dry rot, and repairing old sheds. This was well after we contracted with Home Depot to install carpet/ lino throughout the house and contracted with a different painting contractor to paint the house inside and out (it had been a while since the last time the house had any work done to it so it looked a little beat up) When Rick saw the oak cabinets, sheds and decks, he made great suggestions for restoring all wood to beautiful conditions all well within reasonable rates. As he worked on the house we found new projects to add to the list and each came with a detailed estimate that made it easy to work with. Rick came up with quick and affordable ways for us to save money with beautiful results. Rick has a great eye for detail, and a desire to make what we had look its best. After Rick was done with the work on our home the flooring project with Home Depot turned in to a disaster. A simple lino project resulted with Home Depot’s contractor tearing the house apart with two of the three toilets left in the hallways. They damaged one of the toilets, removed the rubber base in such a way that it damaged the walls in the bathroom and kitchen and left the washer and dryer in the middle of the family room. The workers walked off the job with no notice and the contractor failed to contact us to discuss options. Following this debacle, their carpet installers put holes in the wall and knocked the plaster off the walls in other areas of the house. By this time, Rick’s work at our home was complete and he had moved on to other projects. All it took was one text message and Rick responded in under an hour and immediately worked our projects into his schedule. Not only did Rick and his father come to our rescue, they were helpful in pointing out the areas that needed to be corrected by the carpeting contractor. We now have beautiful tile floors in the kitchen and baths. He did a beautiful job installing baseboards, repairing and installing the toilets, painting the exterior, updating old ugly hand rails and boom, the house was transformed. One of the traits I most appreciated about Rick was his honesty, if he was not experienced with the work I requested, he simply said the project was outside of his scope of skills and passed on the job.
