Where do I even begin telling you about Tony and the wonderful work he does, the attention to detail, the cleanliness, the "going beyond the call" mentality? We had a water mark showing up on our family room ceiling that was gradually getting bigger and darker. With two bathrooms on the second floor right above the damage we were pretty sure what the problem was. We really didn't know of any contractors that would do this "small" of a job so I went searching. Stumbled across Midwest Remodel and Handyman in my search, saw some good reviews and that's when we were fortunate enough to have met Tony! He came right out and assessed the damage and within a day gave me a fair quote and an estimate of when he would be able to do the work. Hired!!! Then, before he even started this job for us, my mailbox post decided to crap out on us and was almost leaning in to the street. I called Tony just to see if by chance he could fix it for me. Again...he came right out and took care of the problem for me! Unbelievable! When the time came to actually do the work I initially hired him for, he was prompt, diligent, efficient, he cleans up after himself literally every day before he leaves, and I have to say that watching Tony and his helper Brandon work together is entertaining, to say the least! What a couple of great guys with a great sense of humor! And when all was said and done, he stuck to his quote, no overcharging and the work was impeccable. But here is a testimony to the true character of these guys...in the midst of all the repair work going on, my wife had a medical emergency. I had to go pick her up from work and leave her car in the parking lot where she left it as she was unable to drive. On day two of her hospitalization, these guys offered to take me to go get my wife's car so it didn't have to sit in the parking lot any longer. They did not have to do that but that's the kind of guys they are and I was incredibly grateful! Class act all the way! Best of all, we now have someone that we can trust and rely on to do things around the house for us that we just don't have the talent or skills to do ourselves! What a relief!!! We already have more things for him to do! This guy is so good, it didn't take long for our neighbors to catch on...he's doing work for them now too!

Sorry for the long post, but wanted to make sure I did a thorough review. I got caught in the derecho that slammed Iowa in August 2020. A tree crashed down onto my mobile home and did extensive damage to the roof, gutter, siding and skirting. As an old lady who lives alone, I had no one to call and didn't know where to start to get my home livable again. I count myself extremely lucky to have gotten Tony of Midwest Remodel and Handyman to answer my request for help. He did an outstanding job! Because it was going to be a couple of weeks before he could begin and we had several days of rain forecasted, he came out right away and put a tarp on the roof. I had escaped water damage inside from the derecho, but was glad he took the time to put on the tarp so I didn't have to worry about new seepage. When he was able to focus on my home, he repaired the substructure of the roof and replaced the damaged shingles. He cut off the damaged part of the gutter and spliced in a new section so you can't even see the seam. He replaced the damaged siding and skirting, and again, took the time to make sure everything matched and looked nice. He did such an excellent job repairing the derecho damage, I hired him to fix a multitude of other things. I had a bathtub that couldn't be used because the faucet leaked. It didn't have typical gaskets, but he drove around to a couple of places and found the correct piece needed to fix it. He fixed a sliding closet door that wouldn't stay on the tracks, put down carpet transition strips so the carpet wouldn't pull up between the hallway and bedrooms, and even helped hang a couple of pictures that were too heavy for me to do alone. He adjusted the pneumatic cylinder on the storm door so it wouldn't knock me on my keister again when it slammed shut. He also replaced part of the front deck where the boards were rotting a bit. As a side note, his quote on the derecho repairs matched closely with the insurance adjustor, so I knew I wasn't getting ripped off. He's a super nice guy who was able to handle whatever I asked him to do, and I would definitely hire him again.

Did excellent work and left me in a better place than I started - no more leaks! Substandard work had been done on the roof prior to buying the house, they found everything wrong and fixed it how it should have been.

Your name looks familiar, but I did attend school with a handful of [Member Name Removed]. I don't remember having made an appointment to come look at your tiling and electrical project, nor do I find any notes I might have made about our conversation or an appointment. I certainly never want to inconvenience anyone and am happy to right this wrong. I'd like to try to figure out how and when this went awry and do hope you'll ring me at your earliest convenience. Best Wishes, Tony Denton

Excellent! Tony did a wonderful job on both the rebuild and the staining. It looks great! He is easy to work with and very responsive. I would definitely hire him again to do similar or other work that we may need to have done.
Description of Work: Tony Denton of Midwest Remodel and Handyman rebuilt our deck this spring and then had him out again last week to power-wash it, stain and seal it. He always power-washed, stained and sealed the existing railing to match the stain of the new deck.

Great. We are very pleased with the quality of his work.
Description of Work: We had several small projects (ceiling fan installation, closet door repair, regrouting, trim work, etc.) completed prior to listing our home for sale. Tony showed up when he said he would, worked until the jobs were done, cleaned up well each day and did an excellent job. We even added one more job on top of the initial estimate, and Tony worked that in quickly. He was personable and professional, and I highly recommend his services. He is now our "go to" for work around our house.

Tony was fantastic. He made room in his schedule for an estimate the same day I called and had a lot of helpful insight on my kitchen project. Ultimately I did go with another provider but Tony is on my short list of just two people I will contact the next time I need work done.

It went well. Tony was prompt. Kept me updated about the progress. He had to put up a tall scaffolding. He repaired and replaced bad boards, scraped, caulked and painted. It was very easy to work with Tony and he did a great job with good communication.

Perfectly. Work performed well in a timely fashion, and he cleans up each day so you don't even know he has been there. On the window, he had an idea that not only saved money but provided a solution that should last for a 100 years. This is the third or fourth time I have used Midwest Remodel and Handyman and I will use Tony again the next time I have a household repair.
