Overall he did a good job and but a lot of work in. Nice guy and nice crew. The only thing he did not due that was in the quote was paint the front door and the inside and outside trim. I not sure if they ran out of time. I did not realize this until I went back and checked the quote. They did purchase a lock for me as well that was not included in the quote and did not charge me. I would use again but pay more attention to the proposal. I can paint the door and trim but I will not do as good of job as the professionals.
Description of Work: 1) He fixed the mail post - did a great job 2) He took the old front door and put it in a door frame in cellar 3) But in new front door with storm door

I did not realize that I had included the painting in the quote. I settled up with Mark and gave him a refund for the painting and charged him appropriately for the lock set.

Brian was a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. I needed to get a house ready for the market and he was very helpful with suggestions and responsive to time pressures. When a couple of issues needed follow-up, he took care of those immediately. Very professional and money well spent for the value received.

He's repainted for me. Painted some old steam radiators. He's repaired and painted our deck and fence for us. He build an awning for us as well. No job is too big or too small. He's professional and his prices are reasonable. He works cleanly. I can trust him. He gets the work done on time.
Description of Work: I hired him as a result of Angie's List search back in 2013. He's been doing work for me ever since.

At first it was hard to get a hold of the provider. Everything was done by e-mail and not on a timely basis. I prefer phone calls. After much ado, a time was set and the provider was punctual and completed the job nicely. The providers hired hand was very friendly.

Although the job is not quite finished at this stage, I am confident that Brian will do a great job. This is the second year I have used his services, and it was the quality of his workmanship that made me seek him out for this project.
Description of Work: Brian and his assistant are in the process of refurbishing my very large deck. They have replaced boards and power washed, then left the deck to thoroughly dry. When they return, they will sand, replaced “popped nails,” and apply two coats of stain.

The specific projects performed by McE's Home Services included: painting, installation of smoke/Co2 detectors, moving heavy furniture, loading a large dumpster, replacement of electrical switches, caulking, installing drywall, cleaning water filter, replacing a section of air-duct, power washing, replacing glass panes in window, hanging drapes, re-positioning insulation and more! McE's Home Services can apparently do anything and are willing to make extra trips to the hardware store for the right materials. Their attitude is positive, willing and helpful. They take pride in their work and are a pleasure to do business with.
Description of Work: McE's Home Services helped me get my house ready for sale. Brian walked through the house with me and helped me make a list of fixes and cosmetic improvements that should be done. He promptly prepared a clear, easy-to-read estimate. I also got estimates from 2 other handymen, but Brian's was by far the most thorough and his prices were extremely reasonable. He was able to start the next Monday and he and his assistant, Mario, were at my house for the better part of a week. They are both gentlemen, pleasant to be with and take their time to get the job done properly. They never complained or groaned about something being too difficult.

McE's Home Services is extraordinary. McE is a gentleman, completely reliable and fair. He does not complain or groan about anything. He takes his time to get something done right and made extra trips to the hardware store for proper materials. His punctuality and clear and prompt estimates made it easy to choose him over 2 other handymen I spoke with. His prices are extremely reasonable. His skills are apparently endless. His assistant Mario is a pleasure to be with. If there is something they cannot do, I would be very surprised. He takes pride in his work !
Description of Work: McE's home Services helped me get my house ready for selling. We checked out every area of my home for possible problems, simple fixes and cosmetic improvements. Brian had a positive "can do" attitude about every task. He promptly prepared a very easy-to-read estimate and helped me prioritize the jobs. He was able to start work the following Monday and arrived with his assistant. They were at my house the better part of a full week and returned a week later to take care of some additional items. The specific jobs performed by McE's Home Services included: painting, installing new glass in windows, loading a dumpster, electrical repairs, installation of 7 smoke detectors, power washing, hanging drapes, moving furniture to basement, installing new drywall, repairing water filter, replacing insulation, caulking and more!

We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness, professionalism and quality of work of this MCE's Home Services. I contacted Brian, the owner of MCE's via email and he responded within 24 hours, scheduled a time to visit to assess the work, showed up precisely when he said he would and scheduled and completed the work within a short period of time. He proved to be very reliable. Both Brian and his assistant were professional and very meticulous in their work ensuring that we were completely satisfied. We also found his prices to be very reasonable including the fact that he didn't charge for "trip costs" or driving time here and back. We intend to use MCE's services again in the future and recommend them without reservation.

Brian was pretty good, but I have some problems. One is he won't call me back now and he left something not right, so I can't tell him to screw the outside of a window he was working on in to place since he didn't before. He subcontracted a bunch of stuff to two other guys who were here more than he was and sometimes they came and we had to wait to get a hold of him to clarify what we were doing that day. The job of roofing that was done wasn't very good, it is buckled. He or his guys left nails and sharp pieces around my front yard after I told him it was VERY important for that not to be the case. The walls should have been done before the ceiling and now the ceiling has to be partly removed to do the walls in one place too. The ceiling is pretty. Since he didn't return my call I can't use him again, but I would with reservations if he would return my call.
Description of Work: He or his guys put a small section of roofing on an entryway, put in a new ceiling, siding shake replaced, put weights back on windows. Stopped leaking.

I've had my house painted a number of times, but it's never looked as good as it has after Brian and his crew did it. They put a good deal more time and effort into the painting preparation than previous painters had, and that has made all the difference. Brian and his sidekick Mario seem capable of handling any job from the small to the great. They are unflappable, calm, considerate. I never saw frustration or impatience. They are a pleasure to have on the job. They painted my family room ceiling on Friday. After they were finished, I wanted to vacuum the carpet before the furniture was replaced. Mario saw me struggling to cover a large area with rather short swipes and gently said, ?Let me help.? He made long, room-length passes across the room, which looked so much better than my choppy versions. And he dusted under the heating elements and along the baseboards too! Brian and his crew are my heros. I plan to have them back for future work. They are definitely my go-to guys!
Description of Work: Brian did a number of jobs for me, working on and off from June through November. He has a small, talented, hard-working crew who get right down to business without wasting time or effort. They scraped badly peeling paint from the exterior of my house, replaced popping nails and some split clapboards, replaced weather proofing around my garage doors, then painted the house, doors, and shutters. In addition to this large job, they did a number of small fixes—rehanging a shelf, installing curtain hardware, putting in a new door lock, and so forth.

Brian was quick to respond to the initial email and came out within 48 hrs to give me an estimate on the project. His helper did the sanding and painting. The paint match (grey) was very good and the overall quality of the work was also very good. My only complaint (and it's a minor one) is that I was never sure when Brian or his co-worker was coming to work on the deck. He came over one day to powerwash the deck, and then I didn't hear anything for about 2 weeks. Finally I called him to get an update and he explained that I was next on his schedule. The project was finished later that week. The price was reasonably comptitive I believe. My brother has a slightly larger deck than mine and has his done by a different contractor for $700.00.
Description of Work: Power washed, sanded and painted a raised deck and staircase. It did not include the lattice work underneath the deck.

I think he did a really good job. He did a nice job with rebuilding the railing. Since it is an old house there were a lot of coats of paint on the bracket holding of the porch roof. He did a good job in cleaning up a lot of old paint so that when he repainted it looked good.

He hasn't been able to put in the window because of the snow. He does a nice job. He gets my sense of humor, which is very important to me. His charges are very reasonable. If he doesn't get the job right the first time he will make corrections and do whatever is necessary I am happy with him as a handyman but I probably wouldn't have him do a massive job. I give him a big list of things to do. We get along and he understands where I am coming from. He does a nice job and he will turn up and do it.
Description of Work: I use MCE's Home Services for ongoing service. He put in a new mailbox and a door sweep. He is going to put in a new window. He has repaired a couple of other windows.

I am very pleased with the results and everyday notice how much better it looks than before. they used special porch paint for the decking and stairs, which was very important because they were in bad shape. they did a good job on sanding down the rough edges, especially on the older parts of the stairs. all the mold on the shady areas is gone and I believe this paint job will last for several years.
Description of Work: they removed paint, sanded, and cleaned my front and back porch before doing a great paint job. although I only saw the painter twice because he did the job while I was at work, he did a good job cleaning up each day and the porches look great. Not only are the stairs and decks nice, but so are the railings and balusters. A much better job then I could have done myself!
