Mike's awesome. He was helpful, informative, prompt, responsive, and skilled. He's also a genuinely nice guy. He encountered an unexpected electrical problem when working on the basement light but was able to fix it readily. He came back two days later to adjust the timing on the light. We couldn't be happier with his work and will definitely hire him again!
Description of Work: Mike installed a kitchen ceiling fan and a wired outdoor motion-detector light over my basement door.

Mike was responsive if a little terse in his initial emails. However he was able to come fairly soon after we contacted him and he picked up the disposal for us at Lowes and arrived right on time. Installing the faucet required some electrical work which Mike handled with complete confidence, and the result was fabulous - very professional and thorough (and Mike was friendly in person!) And not only did he finish all of the plumbing work and do a great job, he offered advice (on my request) about what might be wrong with our heat pump, and he took the time to take a look at it on his way out to determine what we might need to have done and recommended a provider. Would definitely use him again, and for other projects too not just plumbing.
Description of Work: Installed new motion-sensing faucet, soap dispenser, disposal and switch (all prepurchased by homeowner).

Lots of communication, prompt arrival, gave me the opportunity for an earlier appointment, was super kind, explained things to me, worked quickly, maintained a sense of humor and perspective despite some setbacks, made sure to come by before he took off out of town, was just awesome, really. I felt comfortable with him in the house.
Description of Work: Mike is awesome. I may have my date slightly off because I needed to reschedule, but OMG, I was so happy when he arrived. He was incredibly kind, generous, and quite expert. He did great work, I am so impressed with the overall look and operation of what he installed for me and I plan to use him again and again (i actually have a list i'm compiling). This is a very polite, very professional, very warm-hearted service provider who won my business.

Mike was professional, on time and reasonably priced. He put up a heavy and bulky chandelier that was difficult to install. He had pieces that we were missing which saved me from having to leave mid project and go to Home Depot.
Description of Work: Replaced ceiling fans with light fixtures, installed a chandelier and put up curtain rods.
Mike was prompt, nice, professional and honest. After the job was finished he charged me LESS than originally quoted. I have never had someone be so honest!
Description of Work: Fixed the light on a ceiling fan

Mike responded to my initial email quickly and stayed in touch regularly from that first contact. The day we had scheduled for the appointment he was running late, but called (or texted?) with plenty of notice to let me know he was behind for the day. When he arrived, he was friendly, low-key, professional, and gung-ho. So far, he seems to be able to fix anything we ask about. I also appreciate that his rates are by the task, rather than by the hour, and that even though I'm sure he could spot other things that could use adjustments, he didn't point those things out or get salesy in any way. We'll definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Changed light/fan fixtures, replaced 2 windowsills, installed A/C filters, added weatherstripping to a door, adjusted a few interior doors to close properly, installed bathroom towel bar.

Mike has been the handyman for my rental home for nearly two years. He is easy to get in touch with, has been great at working with my or my renters' schedules, and is super friendly. The repairs and installations he's done have been top notch and I have absolutely zero complaints.
Description of Work: Install ceiling fan, fix running toilets, fix closet doors, patch holes in walls, install security chain and peephole. That's all I can remember off hand but he's done many projects in my house.

Mike was quick, quiet, and got the job done. As a bonus, he was very friendly to our dogs that followed him around the house as he worked. I plan on calling him in the future for all future repair jobs. I have no complaints, only positive things to say.
Description of Work: Several handyman jobs: Installing some high-up lightbulbs, replacing a toilet, fixing a broken oven, adjusting a door latch so it closes properly, and a handful of other things.

Mike was great. He was very fair in his assessment of the project we had for him, and was quick to point out anything that my minor handiness could handle. Once we got the quote we sat on it for a while (probably too long for most providers to even remember us), but once contacted to begin the work he was right on it. He had to the backsplash installed quickly and the work was exceptional. The framing was creative and cost effective solutions that were also done quickly. I would, and plan to, use Mike again in a heartbeat.

I had read fantastic reviews, and have a pile of projects, so this was really my chance to meet Mike and get to know the types of work he can do. Mike was highly professional: emailed me within 1 day to set a time, confirmed appointment with 2 biz days, arrived on time, very efficient and tidy, brought the right tools, completed the work in a timely way while explaining to me any questions, took away of the old faucet to donate to someone who could recycle it (love that). Mike specializes in handyman projects. He's not part-time, between bigger jobs: he helps people for a living, he cares about you and your home. He's patient and professional, and brings a lot of experience to the project. (Tip: his hidden specialty is woodworking, particularly reclaimed wood.) Overall, I was very very pleased with this project, delighted to meet someone reliable who does quality work, and a professional who works in Midtown. Mike says his schedule is typically booked about 2 weeks out, although he tries to schedule small, new jobs like mine quickly. (I took that as a good sign, and I'm glad he's getting steady business.) I'll be scheduling Mike again soon, and I've already recommended Mike to two friends.

We have used him twice before. As with before, he was prompt and professional. Did a great job.
Description of Work: Purchased for us and installed wall anchors for 2 dressers and 2 bookshelf (to prevent tip overs; baby proofing)
Mike did an excellent job. He did the work over three days, with a week gap between the 2nd and 3rd day because I was on vacation. In planning out the work, he came up with several good ideas on how to use my existing bookshelves in ways to save me money and reduce the overall cost of the project. He was very good about responding to emails and texts and letting me know when he would be arriving each day. He installed the power outlets in recessed boxes in the wall above the fireplace and in the cabinet. He pulled the speaker wire, cat6 and coax cables through the wall, but didn't terminate any of those wires. (I have a friend who does home theater installations who is going to help me with that part.) Overall, I am very pleased with the work and will definitely use Mike again for any other jobs I need done.
Description of Work: I wanted to mount my TV over the fireplace. Mike transformed the lower half of the existing bookshelves on each side of the fireplace into cabinets with glass doors and made the cabinet on one side deeper to hold my AV equipment. He installed a power outlet in the cabinet and another one on the wall above the fireplace for the TV. Also pulled speaker wire and ethernet through the walls and a coax cable from outside. In addition to that main project, he also did several small handyman jobs around the house (installed 8 ft track lighting, fixed several doors that were sticking, replaced baseboard along two walls, and replaced the track for bifold doors on a closet.)

Mike was a pleasure to work with both times I hired him. On each occasion he was able to schedule the project quickly. He was punctual, professional, and did an excellent job not only with installation but also with cleaning up after finishing work. He was also really nice to my obnoxious miniature schnauzer. I would definitely hire him again for projects around the house.
Description of Work: Replaced a rotting board in deck ($60). Have also used Retrofix for installation of new pedestal sink, faucet, over-mirror lighting, and towel bar in bathroom ($300)

Mike showed up early, at least according to my calendar/appointment time noted, and was in and out in about an hour and a half. Enjoyed chatting with him while the work was being done and just like last time, everything was cleaned up just as it had been before. And now I have a ceiling fan. :) Efficient, friendly, and I'm already a repeat customer so I expect I'll continue to be one.
