Art has done multiple projects for me over the last 12 years. He's done everything from fine carpentry to building self wicking vegetable garden tubs, to building a gazebo, to electrical projects, to plumbing repairs and upgrades. Some of the projects have been simple and covered only a few hours of labor, some of the projects have been extensive and lasted over a week. Art has always made sure the project was done to his standards - which are nothing short of exceptional. The quality of his work cannot be overstated. He's a great collaborator, an honest man and a creative problem solver. I consider myself very lucky to have met him.
Description of Work: A bit and a lot of everything imaginable

Art does excellent work. His attention to detail and his wanting to do things the right way make him my go to person
Description of Work: I needed to replace a lower deck on the back of my house. Art has so much integrity that shortly after he started the project, he suggested that I replace the deck with pavers. Art does not do pavers, so he put himself out of a job. I paid him for his time but he put himself out of a couple of weeks of work. I greatly respect his integrity and going what is best for the customer. You do not find that kind of honesty very often. I would trust Art to do any project that he says he can do. He will always be my go to person when I need something done. I trust his judgement and I have seen quality work and his honest work ethic.

Art communicates well and takes pictures to explain everything. He works independently and will give you good references if it is work he does not do (eg septic). His prices are reasonable, but he is busy, so if it isn't an emergency, you may have to wait.
Description of Work: Art did various repairs to the house - basic plumbing, hanging closet doors, shower faucet, replace toilet

Excellent. Art is wonderful to work with and is a perfectionist with the jobs he has done for us. He is always pleasant to be around and the amount he charges is very reasonable. He is the type of person that I would trust to work in my home while I am not there.
Description of Work: I have had Art do interior ( hanging doors, putting up molding and baseboards, fixing drywall, etc...) and exterior (replacing boards around windows and deck cedar planks) carpentry and fix plumbing issues.

My experience with Art has been very positive. He does a thorough job of understanding the need, creating a complete and realistic estimate, and completing the work on time and on budget. He asks good questions to get to the heart of the need, then perform to or above expectation to accomplish the contracted work. He is customer-oriented, and provides services that deliver great value for the money.
Description of Work: I own 2 rental properties in addition to my residence, and I have had Art perform repair and remodeling work to all 3 properties. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, and reputable handyman resource.

Could not have gone better. Every time I asked for a modification, no matter how complex it seemed, Art came up with the solution and his work was impeccable. He's a very intelligent, resourceful, detail oriented, precise, creative and talented person. He doesn't believe in "good enough" - it has to be 100% precise before Art will consider it done. I've had Art do things as simple as install new light fixtures and as complex as building this gazebo. You cannot find anyone easier to work with or more talented. His rates are reasonable and he sticks to his promises. Electrical and Building inspector both signed off on their first inspection of Art's work.
Description of Work: I had a gazebo kit that needed to be assembled. I asked Art to level the dirt pad, install proper footings, install and electric run from garage to gazebo (permitted with final work approved by township), build the gazebo (permitted with final work approved by township) and make custom modifications to the structure for me.

Projects which State of the Art Handyman has done for us include replacing a water supply line and reseating and caulking a toilet, fixing a shower faucet and replacing a burnt out electrical socket.
Description of Work: My husband and I own a rental house in White Lake. Art has done numerous jobs for us over the last two years - plumbing, electrical and basic home repair - and we couldn't be more pleased. He responds quickly, will personally make contact with the tenants to gain access and we trust him to do the job right and advise us on when to repair and when to replace. A true professional, Art always sends us before and after pictures of each project and provides detailed billing with reasonable pricing. When the project would be best done by another company, Art has given us referrals and we have always been happy with the work. I would recommend State of the Art Handyman without reservation. Having Art's number in my contact list has given me peace of mind when travelling out of town, knowing that he can handle any emergencies that come up while we are gone.

Fantastic. We were not able to find an exact match to the stone tile that was in the kitchen, so Art had to work with something that was close in looks, but smaller in size. The result might have been ugly, if not for the extremely detailed work that Art did. He was able to cut the tile and piece separate pieces together, so they are the same size as the original. He also did an amazing job matching the grout that was already there. Art is very detail oriented and always does a super job of cleanup. His bills are always very detailed as well.

Art was great to work with from start to finish. He really cares that the job is done right and communicates all the details with with what was wrong and what he is going to do to address the issues. He would always give me a heads up on what time he was going to show up and make sure to communicate what he was going to accomplish for the day. I had a lot of work done and I was truly impressed with Art's work and professionalism. I would definitely reach out to Art again for any future projects.

I contacted State of the Art Handyman Service because he is close to where I live and also because of very high Angie's List ratings. He did not disappoint! When I called he explained he had 3 weeks of work ahead of me and asked if I could wait. My belief is that contractors that are good are usually busy so that was not a problem. I actually had to wait longer than 3 weeks but Art was direct in communicating the delay and when he would arrive to do the work. Art arrived on time and spent almost the whole day. I handed him a list when he arrived and he went right to work, meticulously finishing each job before starting the next. He also made sure to explain what he had done and wanted to make sure I approved of the result. He was a good listener. Instead of just jumping in to make the repair, he wanted to know exactly what was wrong from my point of view. This type of problem solving approach is what makes him so successful as a handyman. The surprise of the day came when Art discovered there was faulty ground wiring in the bathroom where he replaced the 2 GFI outlets. He actually troubleshooted an issue that a previous licensed electrician installed and overlooked. We took photos of the problem and I sent those photos to the contractor and licensed electrician who had originally did the wiring. The initial reaction was that Art was a handyman, not an electrician, so he must not know what he was talking about. But a couple of days later, upon my insistence and Art's photos (with explanation), the electrician came back to check it out. It turns out State of the Art Handyman knew EXACTLY what he was talking about! I would use Art again for miscellaneous work around the house or at my place of business. He has a wide range of expertise, is an excellent communicator, and is fairly priced. The downside is the wait to get on his schedule but that's because he's so good.
Description of Work: Repaired a broken pocket door, interior door, garage service door, garage overhead door, and 2 kitchen cupboard doors. Also fixed a leaky outdoor spigot and replaced an outdoor deck GFI outlet cover. He also replaced 2 bathroom GFI duplex outlets.

Response from State of the Art Handyman
This customer contacted me by email to repair a sliding glass door. I responded to her promptly and let her know I could not help with this project. I do 70% of my business for commercial properties, property managers, and I do installation of finish plumbing, finish electrical, carpentry, and tile. I do not have a high skill set for sliding glass doors. I suggested a few companies that may be able to help her for this repair.

Art was great to work with and we will be calling him for other issues that come up on our rental house. When I first spoke with him he informed me he would be willing to do the work but his schedule was pretty booked and he would be about 3 weeks out. I decided to wait since I had not heard back from anyone else we called. Around the 3 week mark I contacted him again to check and see what his schedule looked like, he said he would be there on Tuesday or Wednesday. He informed me when he got there to make sure he was at the right house as my tenants were not home, he sent me pictures of the gutters and once the job was completed he sent me additional pictures to show me that they were cleaned out. He was flexible by allowing me to mail him a check for the services. I would recommend him to anyone that needs some help with gutters!! I'm sure the other work he does is great as well!
Description of Work: Cleaned out gutters and downspouts on a ranch home approx. 1,000 sq. ft.

I called State of the Art and got voicemail. The message said that I could text if I chose to do so. I sent a text message requesting an approximate cost for installing a deadbolt and asking about when it could be done. I received a reply very quickly with all the information I had requested. I chose to go with someone else simply because I needed the work done sooner than they could do it. I was very impressed with the quick thorough response to my text.
