Excellent job at a reasonable price. His attention to detail was outstanding. He hand filed the corners so it fit perfectly in the rounded corners of the shower insert.

The fixture of the light bulb is now functioning properly. Two things that I was disappointed in was Pete did not clean the small elements that fell from the fixture when fixing the light bulb which remained on the refrigerator bottom and kitchen floor. Secondly, he used my powder room without asking. Common courtesy is when you are in someone's home you to ask to use the bathroom, not just take it upon yourself to do this.

He was very professional and personable and explained to me what was needed and how it would be completed. I plan to speak with him about some other jobs that need to be done..
Description of Work: Positioned tank on top of toilet and fit the bottom ring in place for one toilet and made adjustments to stop the toilet from running. With a second toilet, he had to make adjustments to stop it from running and leaking from the valve. My shower handle had broken off leaving part of the metal inserted. He had to drill out the remaining part of the shower handle and re-install it. Some minor items needed to be purchased.

I called at 7:45am and he answered the phone immediately. He said he could be at my house at 9:30am, and he arrived right on time. It took a few hours to fully thaw out the water pipe. He told me a few options to prevent the pipe from freezing in the future. We did not discuss the price ahead of time, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I thought the price was very reasonable. Very friendly guy, and I would definitely use again.

It was perfect. He came and he did it. The amount was as much as he said it was going to be and it stopple leaking. He didn't lie and the best, he did not try to sell me extra services. I think that's a perfect situation.

Pete called me back right away and came right over. He asked a lot of questions and looked at the big picture first. He was able to thaw out the pipe and determine I didn't have any leak in the line. It took about 2 hours and the price was very reasonable. I would refer family and friends to Pete.

I called Pete for a burst water pipe due to the extreme cold weather. Other plumbing services quoted me 1-2 days to repair. Pete came immediately and fixed the immediate issue so I could restore my water service. I will definitely use him again.

I really believe this guy can do anything to fix up a house. He is very knowledgeable and extremely thorough. A real perfectionist, which is exactly what you want with someone working on your house. He also is extremely honest. The hardest part is getting hold of him because he seems to be constantly busy. Obviously others know about the quality of his workmanship.
Description of Work: He replaced the ceiling light over the island in our kitchen that had died & replaced some flood lights that were high up in our cathedral ceiling of the family room.

Pete is professional and knowledgeable. He explained what he was doing and why it was necessary. We had a light that didn't work and asked him to help us get it back on. He not only fixed the light, he identified a number of problems with our wiring and recommended we hire an electrician to make some major repairs. Reasonable rates and great service. We will call him for all our handyman needs!

I will not hire him again. When I first called Paul I told him I found him here on Angies List. He was on a job at that time, so he had me text him with my name & phone number. When he called back we discussed the job & planned a date. Paul was prompt, and personable. It took him about two hours to replace the four lamps with the new motion activated lamps I had purchased. Two days later I noticed that one of the lamps was not working at all. I tried resetting it with the switch, and replacing the bulb, but nothing worked. I turned the circuit off until it could be looked at properly, in case it was faulty wiring. I called Paul, who said he was on a job and would call me back that evening. But he never called back. That weekend a friend took it down, and put it back up, and it has worked perfectly ever since. I will never hire Paul again, because he did not bother to return my call regarding a problem with a job he had already been paid for. For $55 an hour, I think I can find a better handyman.
Description of Work: He replaced four exterior entrance lights with new ones.

Pete was professional and responsive. When the feed line to the toilet burst while he was checking something else, he knew exactly what to do. This was an unexpected small disaster that just so happened when he was there, so I was grateful for that. He was open to checking a few other things I mentioned while he was here; although no actual work was done this time. He salvaged my bathroom faucet, even though I was prepared to have him install a new one. Afterwards, there was a small leak which he had to come back to fix twice. Third time was a charm, and it's been fine since. I plan on using him again and would recommend him to others.

Pete arrived minutes early and prepared. He quickly assessed the situation and gave specifics on possible options. Once I decided which way I wanted to g, he did not waste any time and quickly finished. I was very impressed with the quality of his work, his professionalism, and the fact he charged me slightly less than what he estimated. I will definitely use him again for future projects!

He answered his cell when I called him to schedule the appointment. He was on a job at the time and said that he would call back to schedule the appointment. He called later that day to state the he would be here the next afternoon. He called the following morning to advise he was on his way. He arrived shortly thereafter and fixed the problem in 20 minutes. The cost of the service call was $50 and he charged $65 in total since he had to replace a valve. Smooth and quick process and now no leaks!

He was a nice guy. We had to reschedule because he had some back problems, but he did a fine job and did what was expected. It was nothing outstanding, but nothing bad. It was a good price and a good quality of work. He definitely made sure to call in advance when he knew he wasn't well enough to come over. We would also definitely hire him in the future if we have something kind of along what he does.
Description of Work: Top Notch Home Improvements did a variety of things for me. He did a little bit of carpentry work in my house and a few other things.

I love him. He was awesome. He's been here a couple of times. He actually showed me what the problem was. I was thrilled with his attention to detail and the fact that he looked ahead that there might be a problem down the road. He had a very high rating so I called him. He answered the phone right away and he said, "I'm in the middle of a job. Can I call you back in an hour?" and he did. We had a storm and it knocked out the lights, computer and everything and he came out the next day and took a look at it and he was able to tell me what I needed to do as far as getting that set up so we can at least operate the computer. That was huge because my husband does online trading so he was able to get it set up and we were back in business that same day. He was just so personable and friendly. Not only that, he explains what he was doing. I thought his rates were very reasonable. He cleaned up what he had to do and took care of anything that needed to be thrown out or anything. I would be happy to refer him. He is awesome. He's very good, detailed and thorough. I couldn't have been happier.
Description of Work: I had trouble with outlets that were not working properly and Topnotch Home Improvement opened up the outlets. I was having trouble with ceiling lights and I was trying to change one of the flood lights in my master bath and he replaced that for me.
