No problems with work

Everything went perfect. Brian came in gave a quote and started about 1-2 weeks later. He had another job to finish which is a good sign that he doesn't try to juggle too many jobs at once. Brian's price was fair and for the work he did was a good value.

His name is Brian McElligott. He is conscientious. He finished on time which is miraculous and to me it is almost unheard of. He solved little problems that popped up quickly and efficiently like getting an electrician in to fix a couple of wiring problems. The electrician that he used came that day itself which is again unheard of. An issue came up in my renovation. I said I would call the electrician I have used that I like and the handyman said he would call his electrician and his electrician got here quicker. The electrician was good and I can't think of anything that he did that I would have him do differently. We had a little trouble with Brian's plaster, but he handled it well. I got his number because I was looking up somebody to do doors. He did do my doors and he did a nice job on the doors. There was not anything that I am remotely unhappy with. I have waited 18 years to do this room. Most people were telling me that it would cost 20000 or 30000 dollars. He told me that I could spend that much if I wanted, but he came up with some ideas and gave me a price and he was within $100.00 of the price he gave me. I am a big mouth. When I like somebody, people know about it and when I don't like somebody, people know about it. I have got a couple of other projects that I told him about. He is actually coming back in a month to do another project that we came up with, in the process of this one, to put a cabinet in. He has never done it before but I have so much confidence in him, I think he can do it. He has sole proprietorship. He has got one guy who works with him. The woodwork looks wonderful. After they fixed everything, they then painted everything. The painting went well and the room looks beautiful. I keep reminding myself that the room looked so bad for 18 years. Even when I walked in and I asked him to fix some little things, he did them right away.

I contacted Brian via email and asked if he would do something this small. He responded very quickly letting me know he would and also set expectations in terms of how quickly he could get to me. True to his word he was able to complete the work in the desired time frame. He proved flexible and patient when he had to return to my home a second time because I had purchased a door that was not the correct size. Overall the experience was great and will use Brian again without question.

I have used Brian regularly at a rental property I own in Worcester. This is the first time I have used him at my home, and it's because of the uniformly exceptional quality of his work that I asked him to our house. He does terrific carpentry in particular, and he is fast and VERY neat. I always feel that I get more than my money's worth on his work (Brian don't go raising your prices now!).

Brian, the owner, is far from your typical contractor and I mean that as a sincere compliment. We had a fairly extensive list of projects we needed done ranging from painting to minor remodeling and carpentry. Brian very carefully itemized the projects, worked with me to estimate the time it would take to complete them and gave me a very accurate quote for the services. We had a desire for a very short turn-around, as we are looking to sell our house, and Brian did everything possible to accommodate us. The bulk of the work was completed on time and the whole project was done at, or just under, the quote. On the slightly negative side, there was some sloppiness and lack of reliability in some of the work his crew did. Without Brian being there to supervise, necessitated by our desire to have the work done quickly, they seemed to slip in quality and there was a fairly extensive list of things that needed to be touched up on at the end. That said, Brian handled all of these things with no argument or trouble. A few of the projects, uncovering and refinishing some hardwood floors and carpentry work, were outsourced to great professionals who really did a great job. Being someone who has had a lot of bad experiences with contractors and service providers in general, Brian's commitment to quality and sincere care about our overall satisfaction was a very welcoming change.

He returned my email right away and was very courteous. He could not do the job because he was books for a few weeks out, but offered to give me a name of electrician he trusted. I would contact him again for another job.

They were very friendly when they were there working for me and very professional about the job. They had showed up on time to do the work.

It was well co-ordinated, Brian kept his word and left his mark on the work. We are very happy with the quality of the service and the work execution done by Brian.

Very reasonable price and good quality. He is to come back and do some painting for me.

Brian answered the e-mail and returned my call quickly and came around to give an estimate. He was there at the appointed time. He cleaned up as he went. All in all we are very happy with Brian and his work.

When my wife and I went over to see his work we were so pleased. We like to take good care of our property and our tenants so all work is a reflection on us. It took one full day to complete this fairly extensive repair but it truly was better than new when he was done. It was slightly more expensive than I had anticipated but in fairness the work was more extensive. I had made the appointment a week and a half prior to the scheduled date and had left reminders for myself to check with him to make sure that we were still on his schedule. I needn't have done so. Brian is clearly a man of his word. He is now officially the new handyman of our company!

Contractor arrived on time and was flexible with work dates, very personable, and was very open when additional costs were required (due to unexpected issues). Used cloths to protect floors and furniture. Was able to determine the form of the new windows based on an existing set of similar windows.

He's excellent, he does everything I ask him to do.
