Mike is awesome! We have used him as a general handyman for several years now, and this summer had him paint the entire exterior of our home. He did an amazing job, for an unbelievable price, and went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. He was careful not to harm the many plants we have near the house. He showed up on the expected days and had great communication (mostly via text message) about his progress and plans, as it was a multi-day job, and we realized it was taking far longer than he'd originally expected. Despite that, he refused our offers to re-visit his price, so we just added a nice tip when we paid him (price shown was his original estimate). He also left us the extra paint for future touch ups.
Description of Work: Mike did an amazing job repainting the exterior of our home, for an unbelievable price. It's an old (1940's) single story house, but has multiple roof lines, so some ladder work was involved. First he pressure washed the exterior of the house and then sealed the many cracks in the stucco. Next he rolled on all the paint (no spraying), and no tape either (and no drips - he's that good!). He was a complete perfectionist about the trim too. He had an assistant with him for a couple days of the painting. The whole job took about five days, and he even came on the weekend to be sure he would finish before starting his next job.

Mike's years of experience were obvious when he evaluated my fence. He really knows his stuff. I was very pleased when he went out of his way to figure out how we could save part of the fence and only replace a section of it. My neighbor wanted to repair it himself but instead of being peeved that I had wasted his time, Mike offered advice on the best place to purchase the wood and tips on digging the post holes. Besides being about $4 per foot cheaper than anyone else I talked to, Mike is very personable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The only caveat is that he's a one-man team and very in-demand -- if you can be a little patient until he can get to your job, it'll be worth the wait.
Description of Work: Mike installed new redwood fencing around my father's property several years ago and did an excellent job. I called upon him again after a recent storm to repair a section of my own fence that had been blown down. Some fence companies wouldn't even send an estimator out if the job was under a certain dollar amount, but Mike came out, scrutinized the damage, and instead of gouging me, recommended the most economical method of repairing the fence at an estimate of $320.
