Eastern CT Residential

Mike assisted in picking out an appropriate shower door for a bathroom in our house. Mike installed it in the time frame requested. It looks great and works great!

Mike was punctual and attentive to what I requested for a new kitchen window. Mike installed it the day I requested, in the fall last year. It looks great!

he came for half-day and that work we to get it done again by spending few hundred dollars b'cos he could not fix it properly. so i suggest before buying the Angie's list offers make sure that person is reliable

At the start of it I kept trying to keep an open mind to how they were doing things but they came and went without communication. The end of day was a big curiosity... some people work until later hours but they'd leave and I'd not know when they were coming back. I'd left my days pretty empty and this took about a week or so. They didn't pull a permit for the work where they suspended my house with scaffolding and took out a corner of my house (about 12 linear feet) and cut all the wood out and replaced it with concrete. But, in the process of demolition, they cut electrical wires and they ended up breaking the water main coming into my house that goes through the concrete floor. They fixed it but it's still leaking and that's one of the primary issues that I'm trying to get resolved. They came and went and there were parts of the house that I had to go back and seal up with foam because they ran out materials and instead of getting more supplies they left it to me. There were quite a number of issues but the biggest one is that, while trying to get a hold of the owner I could not get a response and could not even leave him a voicemail as his inbox was not set up.

Mike showed up on time and got right to work. My second story was higher than his ladder could reach, so he asked if he could return on Sunday with a bigger ladder to finish it up, which was good with me. Also, there was one tricky area to get at and he said he would have his brother come and help him and got the job done.

Rot was too extensive to save door frame. Has replaced sliding glass door, and will return to complete trim work.

The lights in the foyer were a little tricky to reach, but ECR had the proper equipment on hand. The old lights were taken down and the new ones installed pretty quickly. The garage shelves were taken down neatly, and all debris was removed. ECR was pleasant to work with, and very knowledgeable about the work performed.

The repairs that Mike at Eastern CT Residential completed went well.

I had a long list of items that I wanted done. I did not think Mike could do them all in the 6 hours scheduled. When Mike arrived he got right down to business and went from one task to another. He was efficient and very professional, he did not waste time like many hourly workers do. Everything was completed to my complete satisfaction. I could not say enough about how happy I am with his work. I would highly recommend him. I did not have anything too difficult for him to do but I am quite certain that he would be able to handle almost any job that I needed. I will definitely call him again and will be sharing his name and telephone number with my friends and neighbors.

On the first day, Mike installed the vanity, counter top, and faucet. After he left, I discovered that the drain pipe was leaking and the lift rod (the lever that goes up and down to control the sink plug) wasn't working. I called immediately, while he was still on the road, and he returned to fix the leak. He fixed that, then left and returned the next day to finish the job. He returned on time and worked on the faucet again. He finished what he was doing, and the lift rod still didn't work. He suggested I contact the faucet manufacturer for a replacement lift rod. When he left, the lift rod wasn't working. The caulking at the top of the backsplash was poorly applied and lumpy, with splotches all over. The hoses and wires under the sink were a tangled mess. He left behind dirty footprints and fingerprints. When I called him to point out the problems, he said that I was satisfied when he left. Actually, I wasn't satisfied, but wanted to avoid confrontation. Plus, I didn't have time to do a more thorough inspection. I asked for half my money back; he offered $50. back, which I settled for. That $50. doesn't nearly cover what it cost me to hire a real plumber to remedy the lift rod and hose issues. I regret buying this deal. Mike is a very nice man. It's unfortunate that he can't produce quality work.

Mike was great. He came out before the job to view the garage and provide a list of materials for purchase. On the day of the job, he met my fiancé and I at the Home Depot to pick up materials. He then worked all day removing, installing, and painting clapboards on the detached garage and sealed the garage with wood board. I think the costs of his services was very reasonable. I would recommend him.

Mike arrived on time and got right to work. He cleared and removed the attic floor in preparation for blown in insulation to be done on a later date. He also ran several electrical lines, leaving them properly marked for the electrician to connect, removed old wires and removed an old built in counter and shelving area. He did a great job, cleaned up the work area, and finished everything sooner than expected. He even helped with several smaller items that needed attention before leaving. Mike impressed me right from the start. He LISTENED to what I was looking to have accomplished, he understood what was required and didn't waste any time. I will be having Mike back to do more work for us.

Mike initially showed up on a day when it was pouring. He went around the house and took inventory of the wood trim that needed replacement and gave me a list of the materials needed to do the job. He showed up on time and was very friendly. He made an appointment to do the work and kept to it. We are very happy with the final result!

Mike arrived on time, assessed the job, we went to Home Depot to purchase the supplies and he was able to complete the entire job. The closet looks great, and I would definitely use Mike again for future jobs.

I had several vertical wood boards running down from 2 story peak that were rotting and needed replacement. Mike communicated well via email and showed up promptly at the scheduled time. We discussed job needs and he quickly set up to tear out old material and nail in new vinyl boards that I purchased in advance. (This was the requirement of Mike's Angies List Big Deal , which was a great service and good value) . Job was done quickly and efficiently, and debris cleaned up completely. Nice job all around. Very satisfied customer. I would definitely use his company again.

Mike was on time and got immediately to work. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. I had some gutters on the my house that had not been properly installed many years ago and Mike was able to fix them to save me the cost of replacing them. A section of my garage siding had warped and was pulling away. Mike took it off and refit it properly so that it now looks like new. He also allowed me to pick his brain about some projects I am currently doing around the house and gave me some excellent tips and advice. I have some other projects that need to be done and will definitely be using his services again.

He was 20 minutes late and indicated that he forgot to measure the slide rails on the drawer. He said that it was going to take him half a day it really took him 21/2 hours. He did a good job fixing our kitchen drawer which was in bad disrepair. The drawer finally works! He did some initial repairs when he came to price the job, last week, which he charged $20.00.. This did help us move the drawer. He completed the job today which for $130.00 for which he originally thought would be $140.00. He wanted cash. I'm not sure if I would give him a bigger job. I would have to compare with others first. He did good work and is very honest.

I am not a handy person by nature, I can do the basic installation curtain rods and such. However, when you add a 2 year old, and another child on the way, I felt it was necessary to work with an "on-call" type handyman for my basic projects, and some more complicated. I requested quotes from 3 different contractors, and Mike was the only one who answered his phone every time I would call, before any money was exchanged. Since then, he has done simple things like hanging pictures to replacing a leaky outdoor faucet and even helping my wife lay down mulch. We are definitely not his largest customer, but you wouldn't know it, because he is always attentive and professional to our needs. We highly recommend Mike for any project that you may have.

I would like to take this opportunity to write a recommendation for Mike Pierce of Eastern CT Residential who is licensed and insured (HIC# 0635723). Mike is a person of quality, honesty and dependability. Initially, we hired Mike to remove some trees from a storm 3 years ago. Subsequently, we asked him to finish our basement and he did such a great job that we immediately thought of him when we made the decision to build an addition between our kitchen and garage. We are very happy with how he has transformed this area into a beautiful new breezeway. I also want to point out that when the time came for needing an electrician as well as the brick layer, Mike brought in top notch professionals for these jobs. Mike also did the digging for the gas line for our new gas stove. Lastly, he did a great job painting our house. We could not be more pleased with his workmanship. He offered very reasonable prices and has always demonstrated professionalism every step of the way. We know it is not easy to find contractors like Mike Pierce, so we felt it necessary to write a review. We would highly recommend him. You can reach him at 860-770-9369.
