All work was done extremely well. In particular, spackling was perfect, which is amazing considering the shape of some of the walls prior to painting. Asked him to come back for some minor painting touch up and he returned promptly to complete the work. I would certainly use again. Thanks.
Description of Work: Repaired the slide mechanisms on several sliding doors. Painted two bathrooms and one wall. Needed substantial spackling as well on several holes.

It didn't go...
Description of Work: He quoted a good price but never came to do the work. He postponed for "three weeks" then stopped responding to calls and never showed up.

Called and he answered and reponded to voice mails, came on time and got things done
Description of Work: Crow was on time, friendly, professional and knowledgable. He performed very well, doing about 6 odd jobs incuding fixing a gas grill and scraping and painting heat registers. Put up curtain rods and shades. Price was very reasonable for the quantity and quality of the work.

Everything was done in a timely matter and all work areas where left clean and tidy.
Description of Work: We had our summer home completely remodeled, including a three season room by Crow in 2006. He shared thoughtful and practical ideas on the different ways we could go with the project. One Idea was a redesign of the stairs coming from our back deck. It saved a lot of usable deck space and the stairway brings us down to the most incredible outside shower. The shower was also designed by Crow and completed in 2011. From inside the shower we have a beautiful view overlooking our marsh.

I have always been very satisfied with his work. Crow comes when promised and is very skilled and experienced. He does things the right the first time but will explain all options to you. He loves figuring out how to do something that presents a challenge. He takes care of all details and is very neat. I am fully satisfied with his work and recommend him highly. I know he has done work for many of my neighbors.
Description of Work: Crow Grullemans has done everything at my two homes - one in Boston, one on Cape Cod, for years. He did my remodeling in Newton (first floor - new kitchen, incorporating porch into house, new doors, windows and deck, insulation, siding, installing new fixtures for 2 baths, plus projects such as installing a whole house fan and a bannister on a staircase that takes two turns) and he has done many projects at my Cape house, such as making two matching cabinet doors (beautiful finish work), refinishing a rotten section of outdoor shingles, installing new screen door, fixing old screen door, building me a shed, replacing porch screening, replacing casters on upholstered furniture. You name it and he has done it! He has helped me find the right plumber, floor refinisher, is on call when I have had trouble with my - well - I can't think of anything he can't do.
Crow, the man who has done all the work for me, always does an excellent job. He's very talented and my friends and neighbors are always asking me who did the work in my house because it's so beautiful.
Description of Work: He looked at my house and put a foundation under it, insulated my roof from the outside and reshingled it, put in a new kitchen door, build a fir deck including a railing and stairs, installed a stone wall below the deck outside my basement, redid the areas around my wood stove in my living room and brought it up to code, as well as several other things. Basically my house was falling down and he listened to what I had to say, did what I wanted and he took care of everything.

I had wind damage from the storm and it actually knocked the roof in partially in a room. He had to do major structural stuff. Because of that we decided to do ceilings in the whole house. They are gorgeous pine ceilings. It's done such a difference I can't say enough. He's also done all kinds of small jobs over the past few months because I was so satisfied with the initial work. The cost was extremely fair, I was very happy with it. He installed a water system for me. He did some work on fixing my door. He does both small and large jobs. He's very personable. He takes time to explain what and why he's doing it. I'm 73 and have experienced a lot of bad situations. I have no problem leaving him with a key and feel that he's very competent and a person of integrity. His work is the reason I joined Angie's List, so because of him is why I joined.
Description of Work: He put ceilings in my entire house and has also done handyman work on different things around the house.

He is very talented and knows what to do and how to do it. I have had compliments from other professionals on his work. He is very nice and is always there for you when you need him.
Description of Work: The last big project was re-tiling our bathroom. But he has been doing large and small jobs for us since 2005. The biggest project was a guest house he built.
