;Installation of vanity base, top, and faucets seemed to go well and leak under one sink was immediately attended to on the spot when it was noticed. Drywall alteration also seemed to go well. However, today when another workman was here for totally separate purpose, he pointed out that one of the faucets is loose and that the seal between it and the vanity top is protruding. Also, since I have not yet painted, I was assessing wall texture and noticed a palpable dip in one area where new drywall work had been done. I have not contacted Mark Dewey, primary worker about these newly-found issues but will do so today. Regarding the sharing of this eval, I leave that to your discretion since the follow-up has yet to be done. Perhaps waiting would be better so that I can share the response and outcome? Update: Today the primary worker with this company returned and efficiently repaired the issue of the loose faucet which had the gasket slightly askew and was easily repaired. He also did some more finish work on the area he had cut out to access the lighting alterations. I was in error regarding the "dip" area I noticed was not the area where this evaluation is applicable. It had apparently been there long before but was hidden behind a full wall mirror. I would very probably go to Kalamazoo Handymen Services for future needs of a variety of work types.
Description of Work: Removed old and installed new vanity base and counter top with double sinks; installed new faucets/drain connection. Moved central light fixture over vanity area so that there are now two, one over each sink; reinforced studs behind wallboard over sinks so that relatively heavy framed mirrors could be hung in that area. Lighting and reinforcement work required cutting into current drywall, then replacing, sanding, and priming so that area could be painted.

I have had Mark here a couple of times. First was to replace lighting and ceiling fans and second was a couple of hours of smaller projects. Mark is easy to reach by email and that is how we scheduled our appointment. Mark was very willing to complete the smaller projects which not all handymen are interested in and I am grateful for that. I would definitely call Mark again for small or larger projects.
Description of Work: Mark removed old ceiling fans and replaced them with new ones. He was efficient and on time and ended up coming back to change the settings in a fan with remote that was conflicting with the remote in another room.

My wife has had both hips replaced and had problems with height of our back steps. Mark rebuilt the steps to accommodate her. He used all the available wood and little purchased wood, to keep costs down. The steps look great and are much easier on my wife's hips.

Both men were creative in their problem solving, and went the extra mile to get our issues resolved. Regarding the water heater, as Gary was installing the new one, he discovered that the old one had water piping going up into the house that had never been soldered, at all!! I feel blessed that we didn't have a blow out years ago with water spewing all over the basement!!! So he put in new piping and soldered it all securely. He then, today, dropped by to check on it all to see that it was all working properly. Great guys, I feel like I have a 'team' that I can turn to for help as I work on the many issues needing fixing in our old house...!!
Description of Work: I have worked with both Mark and Gary now; both professional, prompt, helpful, knowledgeable, fair, hard working. Mark helped with some plumbing issues regarding a drain leaking; Gary switched out an old, leaking water heater with a new one.

After Gary N. finished the upgrade and renovation on August 2012. in Lawton Michigan. He continue working for me and my husband. He took good care of our rental property for repair.. On September 2012, i told Gary N. i am thinking of buying another rental property in Lawton Mi. i asked him to see if he is interested on doing visaul evaluation on the houses with my real estate agent. and he agreed. To make the story short, on January 2013. Gary found a house for me, with the help of his former real estate agent. He told me the house is a really good potential rental property. I saw the pictures in MLS listing so i made an offer without flying to Michigan and look at the property in person. I told Gary N. that i am putting my investment to his hands. I took his word and trust him and bought the house. On March 13. 2013 we closed escrow and my husband and i fly back to michigan on March 15. 2013 to see the house for the first time. My husband and i was very happy with our purchase of this house, with the help of our beloved handyman Gary N. On March 18, 2013 through April 4th. 2013. Gary N. helped me renovate the house. with his miracle hand. They house looks so beautiful . He is the most hardworking person, and you don't have to be around to watch him work. he work fast and accurate, and he also give you some advice to save some cost of renovation. also save you time and energy to go shopping for your home renovation. Gary continue working for us and communicate with us. since we are in San Diego Ca. I will hire Gary over and over for my future renovation. Gary continue to look for another rental property for us in Michigan. If you are looking for a handyman who knows a lot in renovation look no further in Kalamazoo Handymen ask for Gary Nicholson.
Description of Work: On August of 2012, i hired Gary N. for my rental home upgrade in Lawton Mi. He is the most honest, trustworthy person and handyman i ever meet. He is been working with me and my husband ever since. Gary's work ethics is very professional. My husband and I, developed a relationship as he is our part of our family as well as his wife Mary. Gary, have a desire of making the house beautiful. He is experience in electrical, flooring, lightning, ceiling fan, drywall, kitchen cabinets, counter top, crown moldings, vinyl flooring and more. If you are looking for a reasonable and very honest handyman in Michigan area. Gary is the one you are looking for. I recommend Gary to some of the people i know in Michigan as well.

I never met Mark in person. He went to my house to assess the job while I was at work which saved me time and trouble. He scheduled and completed the job the following week. After the work was completed, he provided me with before and after pictures to show what he had done. His bill also included a scan of the receipt for materials purchased for the job. I'm a little concerned that one board I thought should have been replaced was not, but maybe I'm overly cautious.
Description of Work: Repair/replace facia boards that were rotten or had been attacked by woodpeckers.

Thank you for using the Kalamazoo Handymen Services and posting your review. The board in question was a judgment call and what the main objective was to get the bad wood replaced, fix the holes, and protect the wood from any more damage. You still have many issues that will need attention soon with the Cedar Siding and other areas that is also showing moisture getting to the wood from the old paint job that is now opening up exposing the wood. I will be glad to look into the right preparations with what needs to be done before painting next spring. Thank you again and look forward to working with you again.

I contacted him. He did everything I asked and brought problems to my attention, such as split wood and a suggestion to replace the steps with treated wood. He was there everyday that it didn't rain and worked until the project was finished to my satisfaction, including small touch up paint spots. He came prepared, told me what he needed from me, such as selecting the decorative tops, and paying for the supplies that he picked up and delivered. He removed all unwanted materials at the end.
Description of Work: Mr. Dewey rebuilt some rotting outdoor steps, put on a couple coats of fresh stains on 2 different outdoor steps, and most importantly took his time and expertise to prepare the steps completely before attempting to stain them. The project turned out better than I could have hoped. He was responsive to questions about unrelated jobs and went out of his way to be helpful. He responded to my request immediately and gave me a fair deal on his work. Each day he cleaned up his work areas, which was an important issue for me. The materials I paid for in addtion to his work; but the above cost includes both. He always came or called when he was expected. We had several rainy days to work around; but he never left me feeling that i would have to wait for his work to be completed before he took on another job. It was a pleasure to work with him and I am highly recommending his work.
