EDDIE MAC'S HOME IMPROVEMENT LLC

This is one of the nicest and fair priced business's. Ed tries to make people happy and do a nice job. He was always on time or called to say he would be there when he could. His helper is a nice guy to. I was very please with all the work they and would recommend them for everyone.They also clean up after each job. I have some more jobs and will call them soon.You won't be disappointed with this company.

We were in a bind and he was able to come out and start the job fairly quickly. This was the reason we were ok paying the higher price. We had a few other estimates that were at least $2,000 cheaper but they couldn't come out for weeks. His ideas were great and he was punctual. Unfortunately the finished product not so great. He had a worker do most of the job. We had to have him rip up some of the tile floor because it wasn't even at all. Now we have no extra floor tiles and can not buy them anymore since they were discontinued. So if a tile breaks we are screwed. When he installed the wall tiles in the shower area I had to ask him to redo the entire front wall because all of the tiles were crooked and didn't match up with the other walls. This was particularly annoying because we had the square tiles installed in a diamond pattern which he complained about the whole time. He did fix the tiles but now we are out money for both floor and shower tiles for a project that was already overpriced. After the job was done I had to go back in and repaint ALL of the trim since you could see most of it hadn't even been touched by the paintbrush! The grout work is horrible, you can see spots everywhere where the grout is missing because it wasn't done properly by his lackey. The floor is still very uneven and I just know we are going to end up with cracked tiles and no way of replacing them! We had also said we were replacing the doors in the bathroom when he came to do the estimate. In the middle of the job he tried to worm his way out of installing the new doors because he said the work for that is hard and he would have charged more!! In the end we have the bathroom door installed but no door on our linen closet! We were never told that he hired out help and would not be present for most of the project. The only good thing that he did was the new window frame which we had him copy from another room in the house. Will not be calling him again which is too bad because he seemed like a really nice guy and had some great ideas. Clean up the business side of things and be more present at the job site and he might actually have a promising company. * In response to the message from Eddie Mac's. We never walked on the tile floor. It was not level because it was not installed right. We agreed on the original price which magically became a higher number. You did not complain in the email about the tile in the tub. It wasn't until you got the job that your true colors came out. The paint quality isn't what was wrong. Your guy only did one coat and it was sloppy and missed half of the trim. Most of the trim had NO paint on it at all! You were in such a rush at the end because as you told me "your wife was nagging you to go to NY to visit her family and you really didn't want to go but she would kill you if you didn't"! The job already had taken more time and more money than the original estimate and as this is our only full bath I just paid you and sent you on your way. We fixed most of the problems but the grout work is something we are stuck with. You were not there often enough to "oversee" much of anything.

I have Eddie on two projects. The first is completed. It was a shed demolition, not his area of expertise. Because I hired him for a new shower installation and tile floor project, I asked if he could help out. He had a fantastic reference for a demolition guy. Eddie acted as general contractor for the project, getting appropriate permits, checking electrical and demolition quality, and finishing the job with a level of quality that I expect and admire. His timing, response, pricing, and attention to detail were superb. I expect similar results on my shower project. Recommend highly!

He is great to work with and knows exactly what you want. Showed up on time and left no mess behind.

The porch looks great. The custom made screens fit perfectly so I will be able to enjoy it and not be eaten alive by mosquitoes. Ed also put in a screen door after adjusting a too large doorway. Ed was responsive, punctual and professional . I've had some bad experiences with workmen not calling back or making an appointment and just not showing up. I will definitely use Eddie Mac again and recommend him to friends and family.

He did not charge me the full price because what he had to do only took a few minutes.

He came promptly and did a great job putting in the shower doors and installing the stairway bannister. He went and got the materials for the bannisters and installed it within half a day. He cleaned up after himself and did quality work.

He was very professional and did a great job. We would certainly use him again in the future.

This project worked out very well. Eddie was prompt, scheduled his visits in advance, was on time, and did an excellent job. He also did an excellent job with clean up. I would definitely use him again.

Ed and Artemio arrived on time as scheduled, worked quickly, efficiently and capably, and the final price came in under the estimated amount. Ed seems very knowledgeable about all aspects of home improvement and is professional and helpful with advice.

Eddie and his helper did a great job for us. They initially did a one day punch list then we started to discuss a bathroom project. I was very impressed with his honestly, promptness and work on the punch list that we decided to move forward on the bathroom project. After a brief discussion, we agreed on a price and what was included in the price. He showed up every day on time and stayed on the job throughout completion. The bathroom came out awesome and Eddie made it a point at the end of each day to clean up after himself! We gladly call Eddie again if we need work done.

He's excellent! He is very thorough and came right away to do the job. We plan to use him again.

They were so nice it was great. I called Ed about a bulkhead I needed replaced. He called back in 20 minutes and he came the same day to measure the bulkhead. He came back the same day with the estimate. My opinion of Ed and his co-worker is very pleasant, constantly worked to finish the job, courteous, above all on time and cleaned up the area when the work was completed. The bulkhead came out perfect, I will be sure to call him again. I had a lamppost at my garage that had a panel of glass broken for two years. Ed went out of his way to replace the broken glass at no extra cost or labor as he went to the glass company to have it cut and replaced it himself. Yes I will call him again it was a pleasure.

I can't recommend Ed highly enough. He did a beautiful job at a good price, and he was always prompt and professional.

Ed did an excellent job remodeling my bathroom. I originally wanted to use accent tiles left from a previous remodel, which presented a big challenge, but Ed was very patient in trying to accommodate my design. Eventually he helped me to see that choosing a new accent tile and design would make the most sense. He was professional and courteous throughout that process and was always respectful of my choices. There were a couple of very minor problems but he immediately corrected them and even completed several things that weren't originally included in the estimate. He and his helper were good at keeping the dust contained and they were very considerate of the other condo owners in the building. Ed paid careful attention to all the details throughout the remodel and the finished bathroom looks absolutely beautiful. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a contractor - in fact, I am planning to remodel my kitchen later this summer and I have already hired Ed for that work as well.

Estimates and ongoing advice was helpful, but since we ultimately didn't employ Eddie, there's not too much more to say. I would definitely consider him for another project at another time.

It went well. The installation of the new shutters took longer than expected, due to second siding underneath our vinyl siding, and we agreed to pay a bit more for the extra labor time needed. One door needed adjusting and he came back the next day and fixed it. He was here when he said he would be here and had a nice young trainee along both days. Overall, we are very happy with the results.

I liked Ed immediately--he took the time to really go over each aspect of the job, explaining how he proposed to fix things and complete the project. Some contractors might not have been willing to pick up where another guy left off, but Ed wasn't intimidated by this. His initial estimate was in the ballpark and so I gave him the job. The date we'd agreed for him to start ultimately didn't transpire...he sent an email the day before and said he would have to postpone. The second start date also didn't work out as he canceled that morning due to rain, although the project was indoors. Granted, he didn't realize that I had already spent time clearing space so that he could setup his equipment inside the basement, and when I told him that, he agreed to come the next day, and did. Ed did a great job with everything he worked on and I am very pleased with the overall quality of his work. He did all sorts of extra, random things that weren't part of the original scope of work including hanging special brackets on a concrete block wall, etc. No matter what I threw his way, he was happy to do it. And he was also very helpful in arranging the disposal of leftover materials. Ultimately, the project took a little over four full days of work and was completed within a total of two weeks. The only issues I had related to scheduling but that was minor in comparison with the good quality of work and Ed's willingness to tackle the project. I would certainly call him again if I had other projects.

Overall it was frustrating. At first we didn't mind the back and forth in talking to Ed via his blackberry but I realized that even though we had so much back and forth, the job was not done right (he didn't retain what we spoke of). My husband and I went and picked out the countertop and discussed the back splash we wanted (it would match what was already on the wall). The sink was removed and a new counter top was put in and looked great, but the trim around and in front of the sink was just blocks of wood that he stained. It didn't match what was already there (everything around the sink was white and we discussed this during our back and forth with Ed). The Floor - My husband and I picked out the floor laminate we wanted and paid for it. Ed told us to measure the bathroom and make sure we get some extra so we can use it under the sink if we wanted. Unfortunately, Ed did not remember this conversation or did not read his blackberry emails. He only did half of the floor (around the toilet). When I asked if he was going to come back to complete doing the floor, that's when he realized that he had cut up so much of the laminate we purchased that he could not finish the floor (meaning, we would have to go buy more laminate). He cut up all the laminate leaving us with an odd amount left, not enough to cover the floor. He cut some of this laminate and put it under the sink on the shelves but it was not glued, just resting there (not sure why). He only did the the floor area around the toilet. The cabinets were not done at all. Ed also mentioned in our conversation upon his visit to review the bathroom (prior to the work being done he came over to look at the bathroom) that he would install some sort of shelf in the cabinets that would pull out and be on wheels under the sink. None of that happened. We were so frustrated, we just asked him to come back and fix the trim and back splash around the sink. We went and bought the trim we wanted and painted it white and he removed what he put up and installed it. Now we have half a floor with the new laminate and half with the old. When we called him to come back and finish the floor and discussed how much that laminate cost us, he argued with us about coming back. I just want people to be aware of this experience. We won't be using him again.

Ed was great ..professional and will use his company in the future

Eddie came over to provide an estimate to replace 6 4x8 pieces of plywood under an addition. His quote was more than double of other estimates we received. We also inquired about sheet rocking garage ceiling. We were supposed to receive an itemized quote for this as well. The quote wasn't received. Based on the estimate we did receive, we decided not to contact him further.

Ed is a professional, personable guy who takes pride in his work. He made sure everything was completed in a reasonable amount of time and kept me informed every step of the way. I would definitely hire him again in the future.

Ed is a really nice guy and very easy to work with. He pays attention to detail and from start to finish the experience went very well. I am very proud and pleased with the end result.

Passed on the job, no details were given.

We wanted to replace the existing damaged boards with a composite wood to hopefully foil future woodpeckers. We had other interior work done by Ed and Brian previously and was pleased with their effort. Ed called back promptly and come the same day to estimate. In order to pry off the damaged boards, undamaged boards on the other side of the corner that were toenailed into the damaged boards needed to be removed. It was likely they would have to be replaced as well so the amount of work was more than we had expected. He e-mailed me the estimate within a few days and came to do the work a few days later which was very quick compared to other experiences we have had. Brian did the work and was very pleasant and careful. I asked if he could also re-secure the gutter screening which was askew just above the top board being replaced and he did. I needed to remind him to replace our sprinkler gauge and I did a small amount of cleanup in one area but, all in all, he did a fine job. He painted the primed composite wood and everything looks perfect.
