remodeling, woodworking
+ 0 moreMike Condon is a rare find. He artfully tackles restoration jobs that others don't dare to touch, and makes it look so easy. His craftsmanship is impeccable, his prices are very reasonable, and he is a joy to work with. What else can one ask for? He has my highest endorsement and recommendation. The only catch is he is fully booked 6 months to a year in advance. Good luck convincing him to take your job,

+ 2 moreMike is incredible, both as a person and as a contractor. It seems that most people that go through a big remodeling project have complaints about their contractor and subs. Despite facing many unexpected issues during the remodel (unexpected by us, having never done a remodel, but not as unexpected to Mike), working with Mike was a great experience. He is very conscientious, patient, and reliable. He has a ton of experience and is highly skilled. We give him our highest possible recommendation. In addition to the remodeling work, he also did masonry work. Again, great work. I have not listed a cost of services since I am not sure of a total, and it was a long project that evolved and expanded as we went. Mike was always great about giving cost estimates and his charges were probably less than they should be for the quality of work he provides.

Description of Work: I have a fireplace which was stuck in the 70's (white chipped marble in stucco). I wanted to bring it to the 21st century and more earth tones. I found the perfect tile at Lowe's and the mantel from MantelDirect.com. I found the hearth but had no clue where to start looking for it - Mike knew exactly where and cost effective and put things in motion to have it at the house when it was needed two days later. I could not have asked for anything more. Mike is exceptionally personable, professional and meticulous. Mike is very cost and time conscious and I was able to provide my own materials wherever possible. Even though the tile I purchased provided a challenge - it didn't faze him a bit. | |He and his co-worker, Don, were a well oiled machine working very well together. They kept me updated on the progress, any issues and provided solutions. They cleaned up at the end of EACH day - and super cleaned up when the job was done. All I had to do was minimal cleaning to move the furniture back. Mike and Don even offered to help with that. | |The final result was more than I could possible have dreamed for. I keep staring it whenever I pass the room. Am seriously thinking of rearranging the furniture so it now becomes the focal point of the room. | |I would recommend Mike in a heartbeat - anyone working with him will be exceptionally pleased. Hew has vision, talent and passion -- something very rare these days. |

+ 1 moreFabulous. Mike repaired our foundation several years ago, and his work has held up over time. He is professional, courteous, and quick, once he was able to fit us into his schedule. When we needed additional work done on our house, we went to him first, and he was able to recommend other contractors for work he couldn't perform himself.

+ 0 moreMy soffits were falling down because of water damage coming from the internal gutters. Finding someone who was willing to do the work was a challenge because it is a very high building and it's and quot;Historic.and quot; Mike came out and looked at it right away. He was doing work in the area with a lift, so he was able to get up up to check things out in a couple days. Not knowing what he would find until he started taking things apart made it impossible to quote. I agreed to pay him on a time-and-material basis. He did a great job at a fair price. I will be hiring him back in the summer to do the permanent repairs.

decks, handyman service, replacement windows, woodworking
+ 2 moreWe chose him for the work because he has expertise in older homes and especially in brick work. He has done a variety of work for us and we have been happy with the cost. The owner, Michael Condon, he came out, looked at the job, and gave us several solutions at different price options for the porch. We weren't exactly sure how we had wanted to move forward with the project and he gave us several different options. We chose a plan somewhere in the middle. The work is very solid. He is a real and a very conscientious. If you want something done in the way that it is completely correct and aesthetically pleasing, he is the person to go to. He stays busy with his work. When he takes on a little job, he will place the work in between his large jobs. For example, when the weather delays him on a large project, he will call to see if he can come and do the small job for us that day. He is good about staying in contact and is always there when he say he will be. The porch that he made was brand new, but he made it to look like it belonged to an older house. He has done a great job on all of the work we have had him do for us. We will be hiring him for additional work.
Description of Work: He built a new porch for us off the back of the home. He also has done some plastering on a wall for us where he stripped it out and put some new plaster on it. We had him install a glass block window in our basement and he replaced some crumbling bricks. We have also hired him for some small jobs in the kitchen and to replace a light fixture as well. He has done some flooring work for us as well. There was a round hole in the middle of our dining room. He dropped a piece of wood into the hole where it matched well and you can barely notice it at all now.

+ 0 moreWe needed some bricks replaced in the front of our house next to our garage - they were crumbling from years of water damage. Ditto for the bricks below our front porch. There was also 2 crumbling cinder blocks at the base of our garage. We were very impressed with Mike's knowledge and professionalism. He even gave us some advise on other issues that we had, unrelated to the brickwork that needed to be done. In the end, we went with a contractor with a lower bid, but if we ever have other masonry projects that need to be done, we will definitely give him a call.

chimney repair
+ -1 moreIt went great. They came out and checked it out a couple months ago. When I got back to them, they gave me a date that they would show up and they showed up on that date. They got it done and cleaned up in a week. It was a pretty big job because I'm in a historical house. They had to build scaffolding up. Everything went really well. I would tell someone to use them. Pay-wise they are moderate and in the middle there. I did not have a problem with anything they did. You could probably find cheaper. Because I am in historical district, you have to do things through the historical society's parameters. That is one of the reasons I used them. If you're just getting something done on a normal house, you might use someone different. Where I'm at, they do the kind of work that I needed done. They restore old buildings and things that are already there to the point that Ypsilanti Historical Society wants. When we set a time to meet, he was there. He was very professional.

masonry, chimney repair
+ 0 moreI waited two months to get an estimate from another company for chimney repair, and his eventual estimate seemed high. He suggested checking with a local company that wouldn't have to factor in mileage. I'm glad he did! Michael was not only wonderful to work with but came in $250 cheaper than the first estimate. We were flexible with the timing, but when Michael wasn't able to complete the job the day he thought he would (due to the INTENSE heat), he called right away to let us know. Our chimney was removed down to the roofline and completely rebuilt; it looks great. Not a speck of brick or concrete anywhere on the ground or the eaves. Highly recommend his services.

replacement windows
+ -1 morei already said what i had to say above.
Description of Work: .i live in a wonderful old house (1926) which still has the original single pane leaded windows and they need a lot of work including reglazing...............mike came over and did a very careful survey of the windows and sent me a detailed estimate for the work that needed to be done, including all the steps required to do the job in a satisfactory manner and i would have used his services except that my furnace and air conditioner needed to be repaired the next week and required the rest of my annual household budget ! my painter will take care of the windows for now but i will certainly consider using his services in the future........ he also gave me advice about what to do with my sometimes leaky basement which i may get to next year.

+ 0 moreCame on time, got started, did the job, cleaned up and left. Mike consulted me about the placement of the stones and design of the hearth and also offered his opinion. It looks fabulous, thanks to his good esthetic sense. During the job, which lasted about 6 hours, he warned me when he was about to use noisy tools, treated my furniture with more care than I do, and generally acted the way you wish everyone would. No cursing, no loud music, no interruptions. I actually sat in the same room and worked myself!! Mike is a master craftsman and very knowledgable, but the best part is the absolute professionalism of his work. Everything is clear, calm and under control when he works. I wish I had an old house that needed restoration; it would be a breeze!
Description of Work: Mike removed my old hearth and the fireplace surround and replaced them with bluestone, which he had to cut to fit.

+ 2 moreEXCELLENT WORK! Turned out great, some unforseen issues occured because of the age of the house, but Mike dealt with them no problem and without additional cost. He's obviously used to working on older structures where things have been changed over time. Great experience, have used him multiple times and he's at the top of my list to call if there's anything related to remodeling or renovating.
Description of Work: Historic facade renovation in a historic district including carpentry, masonry, window replacement and paint. Worked with Historic District Committee and Building Department to obtain requisite approvals. It was a pretty big project, but it was done on time and to the original budget even though there were some unforseen issues during the course of the restoration.

chimney repair
+ -1 moreWonderful company to work with. Michael was very prompt in arriving for an estimate and then scheduling the work. Since he has extensive experience with restoration on historic buildings as well as general construction/contracting, he was able to explain that the chimney on our 95+ year old house had been rebuilt at some point, which made a difference in the type of mortar he needed to use. He and his assistant were polite, professional and prompt. He estimated two days, and finished in two and a half (because he didn't want to wash the excess mortar off too soon after the job was done). It looks great, and we shouldn't have to do it again for another 40-50 years!
Description of Work: Before having the house re-roofed, we needed to have the chimney tuckpointed. Michael cut out some existing mortar, re-applied, put a waterproof sealer on the chimney cap and cut in a drip line to help with water flow away from the chimney. The sealer and drip-line were included in the original estimate and things he suggested to make the work more comprehensive.
