A Master of All Trades

Awesome! I am thrilled with the laundry room shelves. Such a small space and Tom was able to go over the size and recommend three shelves. Looks great and holding up well. He was able to move my install up a week. I will definitely use him again.

Tom and Chris did an excellent and professional job installing the trellis below my deck and porch. Response to my original enquirer was timely, the job and materials were discussed, quote and date were provided. Tom came and did the job when he said he would. They worked very hard all day to complete the work, despite the rain, as they knew I had an event planned. It looks great and I have received several compliments on the way it looks. Great job! Would definitely recommend.

Everything went very well. Tom was very punctual and very professional. He provided his honest opinion on how we should have everything put in. We really appreciated the fact that Tom also suggested great ways for us to save money on our renovation. Before selecting Tom, we had a couple of other companies come give estimates. They all suggested ripping up the old tile and placing down new tile, which would have cost us significantly more. Tom suggested tiling over the old, which saved us a bundle. Tom and his partner Chris both showed up when they said they would and worked hard all day. They even finished a day early. A few days after our renovation, we noticed a small crack in the grout. Tom and Chris showed great concern and showed up to fix it within hours. They provided great service and were a pleasure to work with. My fiancé and I also have a dog which Tom and Chris were great with and were very careful not to let him escape. Not only that, but the work that they did was absolutely beautiful. We would definitely use them again and would suggest them to any of our friends. Thanks guys!

Working with A Master of All Trades was easy and very affordable. Everything turned out great and my home looks brand new. They took their time with each task and were able to complete additional projects that needed to be done. All work was completed in a timely manner and I will definitely use A Master of All Trades for future work. I highly recommend using these guys for your next project!

Tom was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to talk to and very communicative throughout the project. He and his team did a great job with all of the work we had done in our master bedroom and bath at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him.

Tom and Chris did an excellent job repairing the ceiling in my house, painting, installing lighting and ceiling fans, and doing plumbing installation. I was very impressed with their work and their work ethic. They are so good that you might have to wait awhile for them since they are in such high demand. But I have scheduled something with them in the near future. They are well worth the wait. Their high degree of professionalism puts others to shame. Hire them and you won't be disappointed.

Tom was responsive and punctual, and he did a great job on everything we asked him to do. He was helpful and pleasant, I would definitely ask him to do work for us again if needed.

Tom was punctual when he came to give me a quote and also on the day he scheduled the installation. His labor price was reasonable for custom work, and he supplied all materials at cost. Construction quality appears to be very good and exactly what we wanted. We couldn't be more pleased with his work and will definitely use him again for other projects!

The work went very well. They were done in 2 hours, which was great. They put together 3 of the 4 fans, removed and saved the ceiling lights for me, and installed 4 fans in the time in would've taken me to do 1. They were on time, efficient, and walked through the options (remote vs. switch). Plus, they took away the trash from the boxes the fans came in. Job well done.

Tom is a pleasure to work with and an exceptional craftsman. I say that because he brings a very professional approach to what he does. This is the second job I had him do and I will definitely call him for future work. I did a lot of research on what I wanted for our back-splash in the kitchen. There are 2 walls and I didn't want it to be a dark look. I needed the under cabinet lights removed and replaced. Tom was patient and answered all my questions as we went along. I think we made about 20 trips back and forth to Lowes and Home Depot with about 15 samples each time. I ended up going with a local tile store and got just what I wanted. Tom has an electrician he works with who is excellent. We used led light strips and I love the effect on the glass tile. Even though Tom wasn't there with the electrician - he made sure he checked in and things were going ok. Again - a true professional. In terms of installation - Tom is a perfectionist. He thinks of everything. I can't say enough about how happy I am with the end result. There isn't a single imperfection anywhere. Straight as an arrow and beautiful to look at. If I can figure out how to add pictures - I'll attach some. Tom and Chris completed their work in less than 2 days and I was completely comfortable trusting them in my home while I was at work. He stood by his original estimate and his pricing is fair.

I was impressed from the beginning when Tom came out to a**** if it was a job he would be able to do! He responded right away to my emails. And was on time! The door I ordered wasn't a ordinary door and the opening wasn't to the size of the door. He framed in the opening, sheet rocked the area and installed the door. Put up molding and painted the area! The door came with NO directions!!! He and Chris were able to figure it out with no problem. I couldn't be happier with the job they did and the quality of service!!! I'm thrilled to have found them!!! I can't wait to get more projects knocked out!!!

Tom and Chris did an outstanding job for me. I wouldn't even think about calling anyone else for home issues in the future. Will definitely use their services again.

Tom is a pleasure to work with; Organized & efficient, Prices seem reasonable & He's concerned about doing a good job. Everything was completed in a day completely to my satisfaction.

Punctual, courteous and did an excellent job. Will use them again in the future, and highly recommend them to others.

Just some advice to all those do it yourselves out there , pay a professional and spend your time on the things that really matter.

This is the third time I've used Tom. He and Chris are great. They do quality work. They are prompt, courteous and clean up after themselves. Tom is great at communicating before and at the conclusion of the project. I highly recommend them.

We are in the process of getting our house ready to put on the Market. We had Tom and Chris come out for three days and work on a laundry list of items. This included interior painting with trim, repairing a ceiling and hanging a ceiling fan, installing new light and towel racks in bathroom, installing new microwave, finishing the molding work on the floor, painting the front porch etc. If Tom and Chris saw something that needed to be done they did it. They did an amazing job and I would highly recommend them. Very professional and punctual as well.

Requested quote on bathroom drywall job as company had good reviews and seemed to be a good fit for work to be done. Appointment was scheduled three weeks out at request of contractor however he did not show up for appontment after I had waited all that time. I contacted him after the missed appointment and he said he did not want the job. Would have been nice to know that up front.

Tom and his crew set to work on all 10 items in a very professional, friendly and timely manner. Tom was all about getting the job done in an excellent fashion. I couldn't believe the speed of the work.Within a few hours all the items were done perfectly!! I would highly recommend Tom to anyone. He will be back to do some more work for me.

Very professional. Great person to work with. Work was done in a timely fashion and done with great quality.

As always Tom and Chris did an excellent job. They arrived on time and completed the project on schedule in a professional manner.

With all the rain we have been having lately, one night I noticed water running down my front door, inside the house. After further inspection it appeared to be coming from the bay window above the door. I reached out to several people on angie's list, Tom was one of the first to reply. He ended up coming out the first day and fixed it right there (a different contractor said he had to come back). Now I am sure that this may not be possible for all jobs, but I was happy it was for mine. Tom has to be one of the most professional contractors I have worked with. He showed up on time, gave me a very honest opinion on what he could do and what he won't do. This is a great trait, some contractors are just yes men and will say, "yes, I can do/will do that.", even though they probably can't or shouldn't do the job. He also had a very nice and friendly personality... my kids wanted Tom to pick them up... so he did. My kids to ask everyone. :) If you have the pleasure to work with Tom (he is booked out out a bit sometimes), you'll see how passionate he is about his quality of work and professionalism. He wants to do the best job possible, which is a rare thing these days. I hope to use Tom for future projects.

This is by far the best experience I have had with any service provider in this area. Tom and Chris were professional, pleasant, respectful and VERY reasonable in cost. I would not hesitate to call upon him for any home repairs in the future. Thank you again guys for all of your hard work!

Tom arrived on time and the work quality was great. We thought his estimate was very reasonable. We are in the process of selling our house and Tom was able to provide us suggestions and tips in other areas of the house. In fact, we are having Tom come out later this month for 3 days to do additional work on the house. Very good contractor that has a lot of experience and knowledge in several areas.

We had accepted bids from at least three other contractors (with varying degrees of success even getting a bid) and decided on Mike not because he was the cheapest but because, while certainly competitive in his pricing, also immediately impressed us with his energy level and desire to win our business, and his willingness to listen and price what we actually wanted - instead of offering up Houzz.com 'kitchen beautiful' suggestions that sound good (or at least look nice in professional photographs on the website) but can add greatly to your cost. In short, on the day he performed the estimate, he took the time - at least an hour - to carefully talk through with us exactly what we wanted placed where in our redesign. Since we had selected Mike in early December, and had no plans to start the project until after the holiday season, the fact that Mike was running about six weeks out was not an obstacle in our case. We stayed in touch during the ensuing weeks and nailed down a start date for early February. Besides the very important task of having to clear out your old kitchen of all and figure out how you will eat while without one, you need to schedule the company for the counter top installation (in our case, granite). They can't take new measurements until the new cabinets are in place. On the first day of the job, Mike and Steve arrived at time scheduled, set up shop and, without wasting time, got to work taking down the old cabinets, tile backsplah,sink and so on. This took them literally one full day so that on day 2, they were ready to prepare the walls - where necessary - make other updates and have an electrician come in and handle their work. From there they moved to cabinet installation which crossed into week 2. So they closely adhered to their original estimated overall schedule of 2 - 3 weeks which included at least one missed day due to the ice storm. The third week was largely out of their hands as they had to wait for our granite installer to arrive and lay the stone down before coming back to finish the backsplash and plumbing. In terms of finance, while you will pay for the large items like cabinets up front separately, all other smaller materials, like additional wood, plumbing items, insulation etc.. that may be needed, are purchased by Mike who will provide you with the appropriate Lowes or Home depot receipts. No markups/no games. So you will be able to identify every expense item in your project. Mike and his associate Steve perform all of the work themselves, so there are no subcontractors involved at your home. Both of them do travel from areas north of the triangle, so be aware, if you are a Cary/Apex/Raleigh homeowner that their schedule will be dependent upon travel time, traffic and so on. This did not create a problem for us as they were respectful of our evening schedule with our family. In summary, we were satisfied with a job well done by men who are clearly very experienced in this kind of remodeling work performed and have enough interpersonal skill to understand the needs of a homeowner including their budget, and time.
