I only spoke with Ken on the phone and he did not express interest at all. I live close by, I have a big house that needs mending all the time and I mentioned I was looking for not a one time fix but to become a regular client. The guy clearly did not need a job. I am happy our handymen are so busy but why advertise than? Very disappointed.

The technician/plasterer was polite, professional and efficient. And the price was very fair.

Description of Work: Ken Bass has been our contractor for several years. We have used his services on small projects ($100-$5,000) and large (over $30,000). Ken has done plumbing and carpentry for us as well as refinished floors. He also installed a new kitchen from the floor up. The work was done quickly, very reasonably, and was high quality. Everyone has complimented the beauty and workmanship of the granite counters. Ken's workers are competent and are good people to boot. Ken has a quirky sense of humor and a heart of gold. He treats his clients and workers with kindness and consideration and usually they reciprocate. If you want someone who's honest, who stands behind his work, and who is as concerned about his customers as he is about himself, you should hire Ken. On the other hand, if you're an angry person, a power-tripper, or a nasty control freak (you know who you are), do him a favor and don't call him. He wants to do good work for good people.

Ken and his crew did a terrific job helping us to improve our home. All their work was reasonably priced and done with great skill and professionalism. Listen to Ken when you're explaining what you want done; he has some great ideas. Labor of Love Home Repair and Remodel is highly recommended.
Description of Work: Installed new deck, installed shower door, removed and replaced two windows.

Description of Work: I can't recommend Labor of Love more highly. Ken and his crew are professional, experienced, honest, and reasonably priced. They performed quite a bit of interior remodeling on our older home, and the finished product is just beautiful. Ken has great vision and design sense, and a commitment to perfectionism I haven't found in many contractors. He gets the job done right and beautifully. |We will definitely be using Labor of Love for all of our future home remodel projects!

Everything went very smoothly, did excellent work and cleaned up nicely. Everything was prepped for painting.
Description of Work: Ken is great, his guys do excellent work. His guy opened up drywall and blocked out and insulated a leaky space that was a defect in the original construction.

Great experience...see prior answer.
Description of Work: Ken was referred to me by one of my clients who had a beautiful deck done by Ken and Labor of Love. I had some (big) Ikea office furniture that needed to be assembled, other furniture moved, and various other repairs to be made to the home I just moved in to. Our appointment was for Tuesday, but he called me on Monday afternoon to see if he could send someone out immediately--that day! Two of his guys showed up shortly thereafter and had EVERYTHING done in under two hours. When they left, everything was perfect and you'd never know they were there. If I ever need anything else, it's a big relief to know I have someone dependable to call.

They were fantastic. They are still doing work for me now, so on and off whenever I need something, they do it. Ken is the guy who was in charge and he was very competent. He had a great eye for design and had very good ideas. He brought a lot, in sense of ideas. They were very competitive in terms of their pricing. I felt I was in very good hands. I am using them today for another job.
Description of Work: I used Labor of Love Home Repair and Remodel for some carpentry work. They built some hardwood benches and did some fencing work.

It went ok, but no better. The job took approximately 2 weeks instead of 4-5 days. The owner was more interested in displaying his wit than performing the job. There was no follow up when I called about an installation issue.
Description of Work: All door knobs and locks were replaced and keyed.

A job he said was a two day job was never completed even after many no show appointments and the work that was done was shoddy and I had to pay to have it redone. They replastered and broke a tile which was never fixed, the plaster was terrible at the joints and the paint showed through to the boards underneath. I did half of the jobs on his list, he bought and installed the wrong color bathroom faucets etc which did not match. I paid for those. The showere head was damaged from overtightening in a sloppy manner, my furniture was to be fixed and he never returned the parts he took to match. Had to buy a new piece of furniture. No showed many times after I arranged to have may dog picked up for the day, came home to find one 5 min job done and the rest undone. After 6 weeks I am fed up. he did not check the work after his guys did it and was completely blase about our appt time. I had company scheduled and had to take them to a restaurent instead as he did not return my call on a Sat to see why it was not complete. A total waste of time and very stressful to have just a few things done.
Description of Work: I had a list of a dozen handyman tasks most bathroom and kitchen

Bad experience - he answered the first time I called and we set an appointment. He never showed up and never called to say he would be late, delayed or rescheduled. I called several times, left messages, but never received a return call.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE WORK THAT WAS PERFORMED. IT WAS QUITE BEAUTIFUL AND I THOUGHT THAT THE PRICE THAT I PAID FOR WORK OF THIS QUALITY WAS REASONABLE.
Description of Work: THE OWNER IS KEN BASS, AND HE IS A LICENSED GENERAL CONTRACTOR. HIS GUYS HAVE PERFORMED MANY JOBS FOR ME, BUT I WAS EXCEPTIONALLY PLEASED BY THE WORK THAT WAS DONE ON MY TERRACE. THEY PULLED UP WHAT WAS THERE, LAID NEW WOOD, RE-SLOPED IT AND LAID BEAUTIFUL TILE.
