He was easy to reach. His demeanor seemed very standoffish. His customer service skills were lacking. He is very informative about work but we will never use him again.
Description of Work: Cleaned our gutters , replaced a window seal, and tightened a faucet that still leaks.

He was a little bit more expensive than we wanted to pay. We didn't go with him. We went with someone else who was about $500 less. He was a good guy. He came on time.

I called Mike in December of 2011 to do some work and he came out to look at the job which was to repair a post on the front deck and also to repair two windows. He called me with an estimate for repairing the deck which was $250 and we agreed on that price. He said that he had another job that he was working on and would call me when he was ready to start our job. He called 2 weeks later and said that it would be the next week or the week after that before he could start the job. I called him 2 weeks later and he would not answer my call and never called me back. We found someone else to do the job.
Description of Work: no services performed

The guy who did the work was happy; I paid him the money and I was happy. The pricing was what we agreed upon; he did a great job and left me a couple of pieces that he can come back to put up if necessary. I will use them again in the future.

I've postponed the project until spring, but I won't be asking this company for another bid.
Description of Work: After a couple of phone calls, he came out to evaluate the work. He told me I would get his quote for the work to me the next week. After calling again and again, each time he told me the estimate would be there shortly. It never came.

He did a great job. He was neatly dressed and was very nice and cordial. He was reliable and dependable and did good work. My husband has Parkinson?s and he took the time to stop and talk to him for just a few minutes to let him be comfortable with him being in the house. He then went and did his thing. It was excellent work. His price was very reasonable. He bought the caulk as well - it was well worth it. I am going to call him again to do some other work for me. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: I used Home Improvements by Mike to recaulk my shower.

My 81 year old mother needed help in making repairs to her house before putting it on the market. We were under a time constraint and needed the repairs done within the month. Mr. McCoskey went out of his way to accommodate our schedule and did an excellent job for a reasonable price. Mom was very comfortable having him at the house and returning to work on the house after she had moved out. I live in Indianapolis and for the past several years have been looking for a handyman in the New Albany area to help Mom with the repairs that I couldn't do. Thanks to Angie's List, I found the answer in Home Improvements by Mike. I recommend him with no reservation!
Description of Work: Repairs to a 50 year old house: repair cracks in ceiling / paint ceiling replace electrical sockets repair/replace tracks on bifold closet doors / rehang closet doors replace bathroom sink / install new faucet replaced weatherstripping

Mike is very neat and aware of the details. He is conscious of cleaning up and making the least mess possible. He is honest and I had no worries when I left him alone in our home.
Description of Work: Mike McCloskey tore out a large cracked jacuzzi tub and surround in the master bath and removed it from the premises, disconnected the plumbing, caulked and insulated the walls around the tub area, and reconnected the plumbing. Also repaired and painted the ceiling below and installed ventilation grills.
