I initially met with Mickey and immediately knew that I would be able to work with him. He was quick to respond to e-mails and very prompt in setting up the initial consultation appointment while making it convenient for me. He was polite and professional and asked a lot of questions!!! That is so important for a remodeling job, as there are SO MANY details. Even though I had great architectural plans, there are always extra details involved. Once I chose to work with Mickey, he was able to help me reduce some costs, which I really appreciated. Mickey was able to start the job when the timing was right for me and my schedule. The pre-construction meeting went very well with Mickey and Steve - the foreman on the job. Steve was great - easy to communicate with via text and quick to respond, as well. Everyone on the job was truly wonderful - Leandro, Frankie, and Kelly were the mainstays. All of the subs they brought in were excellent. The regular team was there every weekday before 8 in the morning without fail! They all communicated very well and we worked together to find the best solution for the little surprises that popped up during construction. That ALWAYS happens no matter how well you plan, so it's important to have a good team working with you to sort through that type of stuff. I have an attention to detail and they never made me feel like I was asking for too much or being too picky. I am truly thrilled with the outcome. My new bathroom is really beautiful! The tile work is probably the highlight, but the whole room just came together so nicely! I have absolutely no reservations recommending Mickey and his team to anyone that needs work done and I will certainly use them again in the future should the need arise! BIG thank you to the Hassle Free guys!!!!

This is our third great experience with Hassle Free Home Improvements. Mickey and Steve are always a delight to work with. We met with them first to go over the work that would be done in detail and examined the 3 rooms. We discussed the types of paint that could be used, how the floors would be resurfaced, and a number of small details. The work began on time, as arranged, and was done within the timeframe we discussed. A few follow-up details, such as brackets in closets, were quickly done. The team removed and disposed of several pieces of old furniture and moved a queen-size bed with a heavy metal frame from one room to another. They also assembled a new desk we purchased for one of the rooms. The rooms look completely different and new, exactly as we hoped they would. Perhaps most important, the Hassle Free team is always friendly and responsive to any questions or issues that might arise during the work. They are not satisfied unless you are. All of the work was first rate and we were completely satisfied again with Hassle Free Home Improvements. We will definitely use the company for any future work in our house and give them our highest recommendation.

Everything went perfectly and we LOVE our new bathrooms. The Hassle Free team was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. They did exactly what we asked, and to perfection. They guided us through the entire process. The work was completed in a timely fashion and the price was very fair. Communication was excellent throughout the renovation. One of the things we liked best was the fact that they Hassle Free has their own regular team of people, so there are no "outsiders" working on the house. They have their regular plumber, their regular electrician, etc. It was good to have their trusted colleagues working on the house because they were a known and reliable entity. The team was very good about keeping the area very clean, and there was very little disruption in our lives during the renovation. We had a very positive experience and I recommend Hassle Free very highly. Beautiful, quality work.

It was such a pleasure working with this customer. They were very pleasant, fair to deal with, and appreciative of our work. This work was performed in a high rise condo building in Bethesda. Aside from the normal challenges associated with going in and out of the lobby, as well as going up and down the elevator, everything went very smoothly. I hope we are able to help them on their next project. Mickey Taff

Their quote was for $35000 to pretty much gut and re-do my entire kitchen. He was really interested on how many other quotes I was getting, like he asked me about it many times. His units were like at $15000. He was interested in screwing me. My address is fancy, in a wealthy area so his price cost me for that.

It's unfortunate that this person is unhappy with my quote. When he first contacted me I explained that we are not licensed in Washington DC so we do not do work there. He seemed very interested in getting a quote however so I didn't want to disappoint him. In retrospect I wish I had taken a pass on this one. Mickey Taff

After a hot water heater broke and caused significant flooding in my basement, I had to replace the carpeting. However, before having new carpeting installed, I wanted to first upgrade the basement ceiling which consisted of very old acoustic tiles that were deteriorating and sagging in several places and missing (i.e., having fallen down) in others. I also wanted to add some recessed ceiling lights in the basement bedroom and family room. I wasn't sure what could be done to fix the ceiling so I started looking for a contractor to engage. After a bit of research on-line (though not through Angie's List), I found Hassle Free Home Improvement (HFHI). I loved the company name and after reading a few reviews that were very positive, I called. I first left a message and then got a call back from Mickey Taff (who I later realized is the owner). I explained what I wanted and we set up a time for him to come by to take a look at the situation, advise me on what might be possible to do, and provide an estimate. He arrived on time (actually a bit early) on the day we arranged to meet and spent a considerable amount of time with me explaining what he would suggest doing and how to proceed. At first, I thought the estimate was a bit high (although I really had no idea what it might cost) but it also seemed reasonable when Mickey explained what needed to be done. When he wrote up the estimate initially he neglected to include the lighting/electrical work but we discussed it later on the phone and agreed on a price for that work as well (although with fewer lights than we had originally discussed). In any case, the work was scheduled to be done within a week after that. It was started on a Tuesday and completed on Thursday. The prep work included laying down protective plastic covering that reduced the amount of dust and debris that had to be cleaned up afterwards. The actual removal and replacement of the ceiling tiles as well as the lighting/electrical work proceeded without any problems. The workers were very efficient and pleasant. They cleaned up as they went along each day and thoroughly cleaned the work site upon completion. It was an excellent job well done! I am very pleased with the results, will use HFHI again, and would highly recommend them for any home renovation jobs. In conclusion, let me just say here that Mickey Taff has been a joy to work with and get to know. He and I hit it off like old long-lost friends. He is both knowledgeable about the home improvement business and honest and straight-forward in how he goes about getting a job done. It was a great experience for me and, true to his company's name, totally "hassle free."
Description of Work: Removed and replaced acoustic ceiling tiles and replaced and re-secured loose grids in basement bedroom and family room. Also, installed 6 new recessed ceiling lights, 2 dimmer switches, a new electrical circuit and an outlet.

They did the quote quickly when meeting with us. They gave us good vendors to find cabinets, tiles and plumbing items. They started on the agreed upon workday and asked good questions and were very nice to work with. They made a couple little mistakes that were quickly resolved when I pointed them out. They followed instructions when I asked them to leave the cardboard so that I could recycle it. When they were done, I was happy. I noticed a few areas that needed sanding and filling and Mickey responded immediately.

They replaced insulation and dry wall as needed to prep walls for tile. They replaced the tub with a walk-in shower, bench, three niches, and a beautiful glass door. We chose to tile this area up to the ceiling. They tiled the floor and walls, replaced toilet, vanity, vanity top and sink, mirror and wall cabinet. Each member of the crew was skilled and professional. The tile work is excellent+. We were very pleased with suggestions for retailers for tile and plumbing fixtures and parts. The crew was friendly, cleaned up after themselves, and finished the job as promised.
Description of Work: Re-did master bath keeping original size and basic layout. My husband and son did the demolition work and then Hassle Free took over. The original bathroom in this 1960's house was tiled in the tub area and on the other three walls up to a chair rail height. We decided to keep that design also.

Overall, they communicated well, made practical suggestions on how to address aspects that I had not thought of (like adding ceiling fan, etc) and the workmanship was very good.

When we first inquired about using Hassle Free the owner came out to visit with us and assess the potential job. Once he assessed he provided a firm estimate, and he provided a detailed list of additional supplies we would need to purchase. When we agreed to contract Hassle Free's services the owner and project manager came for an additional visit to sign the contract and answer additional questions. They were very patient as we asked about why type of tub and parts to get. Once we scheduled a start date we purchased our required materials. On the start week the workers were punctual each day. The picked up the tub from Home depot which we had purchased online. Every day we came home we were pleased to see progress. There was, however, one moment that could have changed our impression. As it turns out we purchased the incorrect type of tub. The project manager and his team not only returned the tub to Home Depot, but they also took care of the return for us. In addition they also found a suitable tub at Home Depot and took a picture so we knew what to get. This had the potential to be a huge inconvenience, but instead it demonstrated their incredible customer service. In the end everything worked out beautifully. Lastly the team was totally trustworthy. We love our new tub, and we marvel at the tile work. We appreciate their patience so much in helping us get this work done. We had lots of questions along they way, and they more than satisfactorily addressed them. Very happy!
Description of Work: When we purchased our house the original tub had a bath-fitter type structure over top. This past summer we began to notice a leak was leading to water in between the bath-fitter and the tun. Hassle Free removed the bath-fitter, removed the tub, and installed a new tub with tile.

I had no issues with them; they were fine. They were solid and good. They came for a day and worked real hard. I gave them a long list of things to do and worked hard to accomplish the maximum during the day. Their work was good. One of the guys they sent was fantastic and one was just okay. I thought overall it was really good, but I am sort of a perfectionist. They did a very good job, but the owner did not continually keep in touch with me so that I would consider him for future work. I thought this service was like a good one shot deal and they did not build a relationship for the next deal. They showed up on time and were professional. I ended up spending more, because originally I purchased a Big Deal for four hours but I ended up having them do a whole day's work so I purchased more hours.
Description of Work: They did a full day of service.

Hassle Free did an excellent job and up-to-a-point accommodated my crazy schedule. My bathroom had some of the original components since the house was first built: black and white tile flooring, pink wainscoting with black trim! It looks like no changes had been made to the house for about 3 decades--before we moved in. From demolition day to the final touches on the last day, the crew was professional and talented. Particularly talented and helpful was Alejandro, the tile man. But all were good. I didn't realize at first that the contact person was the owner, and he provided great service and followed up at appropriate moments. If I ever get any more money, I will higher them again in a heartbeat! t had been two decades At first the costs seemed high, but when I compared the complete job (including all of the materials I bought and that the other companies would have bought for me), my new bathroom actually was not expensive at all. Plus, the other companies would have used cheaper materials than what I chose or than what Hassle Free chose.

Mickey, Steve and his team were very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The planning was process covered all of the bases and Mickey provided an accurate and detailed estimate to be completed. Steve managed the crew well and ensured that all work was completed in a timely and quality fashion. They were able to make changes to accommodate some unforeseen issues that arose due to some construction quirks of our house, and were more than to willing to redo a couple small items to make sure the work was to our satisfaction. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone doing a remodel. We love our new bathroom and HFHI did a great job! We will likely use them again for future work at our house.

We are totally thrilled with the end product and could not have been happier with the interactions we had with Micky and his crew during the remodel project. Mickey made sure that the scope of the of project, and the price, were clear before work began. We found, however, that Mickey and his crew were flexible regarding changes that cropped up during the remodel. Mickey was careful to keep track of and document all changes so there were no hidden cost surprises at the end of the job. Mickey was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to emails and calls. Mickey's crew was always pleasant and professional, and their work is meticulous. It was a pleasure to be able to rely on the workers as professional consultants (for example, they pointed out that hardware that I had chosen would be impractical in the long run and they suggested certain changes to the set up as the kitchen began to take shape) without worrying about being "up-sold" and having costs added to the final bill. In addition, I was perfectly comfortable having my kids home when the workers were there. Mickey and his crew were without fail pleasant, accommodating, professional and the quality of their work is outstanding. The work was done well and on time, the costs were reasonable, and I look forward to working with them again.

First let me say that we were very satisfied with Hassle Free Home Improvement. The job they did was indeed hassle free, from the perspective of the work they did. Let me briefly describe this project. We needed to replace all of the copper water supply piping in the entire house. We also needed to replace the master bathroom tub with a walk in shower. The house is a three level private residence. The planned work was expected to extend through 10 rooms of the house as well as some exterior work. Because of the extent of the work, we were expecting to use 4 different contractors. For the purpose of this report, we were looking for a general contractor to perform the tile, plasterboard and painting work, as well as overseeing the plumbing work. We were dealing directly with the shower/counter installers and the shower door installers. Due to the extent of the work, we interviewed about 6 contractors. Hassle Free Home Improvement had one of the best proposals, and their demeanor instilled confidence. Mickey Taff, the owner of the company, was very patient throughout the interview process. Mickey's proposal was in line with others we had received. Mickey has a very talented detail oriented group of workers. They did everything that we asked them to do. The only deviation from the price agreed on at the beginning of the project was a $300.00 increase due to a change of scope we asked for. Even that was a very reasonable price for the work they did. During the course of the work, there were 2 major issues that arose, that were in no way due to Mickey's work. First, the floor in the master bathroom was out of level by 3/4", which caused a lot of effort to get the floor level for the 2 foot long tiles we were having them install. The 2nd problem was due to a measurement/fabrication error by the shower provider. This caused Mickey to rip down the Durock he had already installed, install shims on top of the existing studs and reinstall the Durock. This caused at least one day of delay. Not once did Mickey approach me to try to adjust the price of the project. Like I said at the beginning of this article, the work that they did was truly hassle free.

What started out as a rundown little bathroom, desperately in need of some TLC now looks fantastic, and I honestly heave a sigh of relief and smile every time I walk in there. This was only my second serious home improvement project, and the Hassle Free Home Improvement team made it a very easy. There is only one bathroom in my house, so I moved off-site during the work, and I had no hesitation in leaving them a key and stopping by periodically to see the progress. The team arrived on time every day, and contacted me to schedule meetings to talk through my preferences and next steps. And, they finished the work in a timely manner. Truly, I could not have hoped for a better working relationship and outcome. The cost of the job above reflects a few optional items that I requested, specifically the replacement of a cast iron tub with a new cast iron tub, the installation of a fan where none had existed before, insulating in the exterior wall, and some additional work on the floor that wasn't visible until after the demolition. Mr. Taff included these items in his initial estimate, so I would know in advance the cost of going a certain route. On top of their quality workmanship, it was a pleasure to work with Mr. Taff's team. Friendly, punctual, professional, they were attentive to details as minute as how to set the accent tiles in the shower niche to the placement of the drawer pulls for the vanity. A builder friend stopped by to check out the finished product, and he agreed that it was nicely done. The work has been done for a week or so now, and the team has followed up to see how things are going. I am very happy to recommend Hassle Free Home Improvement without reservation.
Description of Work: Mickey Taff and his team renovated my 5X7, 1940s-ish era bathroom. His team removed and replaced all the tile, the vanity, the toilet, the cast iron tub, reframed for a new recessed medicine cabinet, framed and tiled a new niche in the shower, added insulation to an exterior wall, leveled out the floor, installed new fixtures and an exhaust fan, and prepped everything for painting.

Mickey and his crew did a great job repairing a large hole in our ceiling after some water damage. They repaired the ceiling, removing and replacing a fan and completing with a paint job. The crew was very nice and helpful. They kept everything closed off so the dust would spread around the house. They even put up with my little dog who liked hanging around them. Overall a good experience and would recommend.

The crew was on time every morning and worked at least part of every day during the period. Length of day depended on what materials had been delivered, whether there was wet paint or spackling that had to be allowed to dry, etc. Our contract called for the work to be done in seven weeks and it was done in six. The final cost was very close to the original estimate and we were notified of any adjustments, plus or minus, when they occurred, so there were no surprises or sticker shock. For example, Steve suggested changing the original plan by moving the toilet to a better location, which would open the bathroom up much more and make it noticeably larger. It was a great idea, but there was a slight additional cost for plumbing and we were told this before the change was made and we approved it. By the same token, an original plan to build a new closet in the adjoining room was dropped and there was a corresponding reduction in the costs. Mickey made two or three visits to our house to scope out possible plans for the new bathroom long before work began. He also spent an entire day with us visiting the various shops that sold the materials we needed, including counter tops, tile, and plumbing fixtures. He also ordered cabinets and other materials to our specifications. The quality of the work was first rate and we are very happy with the new bathroom, closet and hallway. There were some minor fixes and touch ups that were needed in the days following completion of work, and someone was here promptly each day to complete them until we were satisfied. The crew deserves special praise for their excellent work, terrific attitude, professionalism and friendliness. If you are going to have people working in your house for six weeks, these are the kind of guys you want doing the work. We became friends with all of them and will have them back for more work this year.All in all, we could not be happier with Hassle Free Home Improvements and highly recommend the company.
Description of Work: A complete renovation of our master bathroom, removal of all old fixtures, installation of new tile bathroom floor and shower, cabinets, countertop & sinks, medicine cabinets, plumbing work and plumbing fixtures, all electrical work, tiling, painting, and related work.

We wanted to get an estimate from Hassle Free Home Improvement for our kitchen renovation because we were impressed with Mickey's professionalism when we had him do an estimate for our basement renovation last year. Unfortunately, Mickey's estimate once again came in high for the scope of work and materials included compared to other estimates we got. (Did not include any appliances, cabinet hardware or tile for the back-splash). The only other "negative" was that we felt Mickey wasn't terribly creative with the space we gave him to factor into his design. Since we wanted to turn the entire living room, dining room and kitchen areas (which are currently separated with walls or partial walls) into an open concept space, we were disappointed that he focused the design within the current kitchen footprint. Having said that, he may have been trying to keep the cost down (always a consideration). Believing Hassle Free would have done top notch quality work and stood by their work, we could have worked with him on the design but it was obvious that Hassle Free would out price us once again. Bottom line - give Hassle Free an opportunity to compete for your business. Our gut feeling is that Mickey runs a quality business, would do excellent work, and would be reliable, responsive, and dependable.

It went wonderfully. Mickey and his team was very professional, and got things done beautifully. It was a difficult project because we only want to redo half of the shower area instead of completely rebuild it. Mickey met our demand, and a tight time line (with in laws visiting in a few weeks). Most importantly, the shower area is functioning without any leak.
Description of Work: Fixed a leaking shower area, which included removing the old tiles, dry walls, shower door, drain, and installing new drain, new concrete shower pan, new membrane, new tiles, and reinstalling a shower door.

Overall, the service was outstanding! We are very pleased with our new kitchen. We interviewed different contractors and even though the prices were competitive, we felt that these guys were a good choice. They helped us select our cabinets and other items, then when it was time to start, they were on time every day and finished on budget.
