The work was done in January of 2018 but better late than never. He did a great job with the tile and was able to stretch what I had to work in the space. I had the same tile put in my bathroom by someone else and it was uneven with deep indentations on some of the tiles. I would highly recommend Tabor Creations.

Matthew did a great job at a reasonable price. Although the original job was to remove and replace grout, we discovered that the past owner had tiled over old tile so that the only thing keeping the "new" tile in place was the grout... and it kept cracking and breaking because the tile was moving when we walked on it. Matthew recommended some solutions and when we decided on having him install a new floating tile floor, he even met us at the store to make sure we got the right materials for the job since we told him we were not sure what we should be buying.
Description of Work: Regrout master bathroom floor.

Matt Tabor is a fine young man to work with; true to his word, fast, respectful, and very reasonable. I highly recommend him. He does careful, exacting work.
Description of Work: Matt has done a variety of fine work for us, from refitting doors and laying tile in our bathroom laying flooring throughout our home. He has put up drywall, and installed a bathroom vanity and subway tile on a hard-to-fit bathroom in an old home.

I met first thing in the morning and Matthew gave me a quote on site. He returned later that day to complete the repairs. He was very responsive, professional and did a great job. I will use tabor creations again.

We were very pleased with the service. I don't think it could have gone any better. He was here on time, worked steadily and finished in a very timely manner. The work was excellent quality and done very well. My husband is an architect so if anything was wrong he would have noticed, believe me! He was friendly, curteous and pleasant. He would be our first choice if we ever need handyman services in the future.
Description of Work: He installed a railing and gate around our back porch.

The project went very well. My wife and I decided to expand the scope during the middle of the project. The original project was to take about 10 days. With the additional skim coating, this added another 4 days of work. I am very pleased with Matthew's work and will hire him again. During the project Matthew kept me informed of the plan of action and what to expect 2 days out. He confirmed with me when he was going to start in the morning and anticipated time ending in the afternoon and was punctual. I am happy to say that Matthew worked with me on "turn over dates" for various rooms so I could continue working.
Description of Work: My remodel project consists of conversion of a semi-finished attic to a master suite with a new 3/4 bathroom. This includes removing and reinforcing various walls on the first floor. Matthew mud and taped my remodel project. This included about 70 sheets of drywall. I also had Matthew to skim coat my first floor ceilings and walls ceiling and walls on my main floor to blend the different surface textures. He also fixed all of my drywall mistakes!

It went very well. Matt was very courteous and professional. He generally started working at 9am and left around 3 to 4pm. He left the job site clean each day. At first we were a little concerned as he works by himself and this was a very big job. He explained how he would carry the work out prior to starting. He also pulled building permits and got all necessary inspections. In terms of price, Matt is very reasonable. We found his work to be top notch.
Description of Work: We had vinyl siding installed, all exterior wood trim was wrapped in aluminum, and 8 decks were built. These were two story and three story decks as our building is a 3-story building.

Contractor did exactly what he said, and was very meticulous with his work. Quality was top notched, and in fact, we are so pleased that we have hired him for a 2nd large job. This is arguably the most honest contractor I've worked with. This carpenter works alone, and for large jobs he methodically completes the task, but it will take longer then an outfit that shows up with a large crew. It's well worth the wait if you have the patience.
Description of Work: Installed siding exterior siding, vapor barrier, and aluminum wrapped all exposed exterior wood on two, 3-story condominiums.

Matt gave us a bid that was by far lower than the other two we had obtained. He was courteous, personable, prompt, and highly skilled. He have us advice that was independent and objective, and did an excellent job. Matt was so good, we're going to go around our house and list various things we want done just so we can hire him again!
Description of Work: Matt corrected a botched bathroom job, building a wall and inserting a shower, which required him to match our subway tile and build two structures.

He’s reliable and very trustworthy. He does excellent work, he’s a perfectionist, there is nothing bad you can say about him!
Description of Work: He gutted a bathroom and remodeled it for me. The shower was a tiled stand in shower with a seat and his tile work was impeccable. He’s done plumbing, electrical, drywall and tile work for me. When we had termite damage he ripped out the walls and fixed the supporting walls the termites damaged and he rebuilt them. He retextured them and painted them too.
