Description of Work: Craig laid a tile floor in the lower level of the house and updated the lower level bathroom. The bathroom entailed ripping out the entire existing shower, repairing water damage to the wall and re-tiling, laying new flooring, installing a new vanity, fan and lighting. The project went well, we are satisfied with the results.

Description of Work: Could not even get these people to call me back. THAT is probably the worst service of all. If you're too busy and don't want the work at least offer the courtesy of a phone call returned.

handyman service
 + -1 moreI obtained Craig as a reference from a friend. contacted him by email. Discussed what i needed done. When he arrived at my home he gave me an estimate which included supplies. The kitchen faucet needed a new cartridge. Craig went beyond that to upgrade the water supply hoses. No more leaks under my kitchen sink. He repaired the dryer vent which was loose and soft and then hooked up the dryer with a semi rigid connector, replaced my patio light and my outside garage light. when he left the areas that he worked in were clean of any debris.
Description of Work: switched out two outside lights, repaired dryer vent and hooked up dryer repaired kitchen faucet
