A Master of All Trades

Tom responded to emails right away. He & Chris were always on time and worked full days until the job was completed. They painted our oak cabinets white and added bead board detail to inside of glass cabinets & to the island. They changed out the cabinet hardware & Tom did a great job on our subway tile backsplash. The entire project took three days which was great considering my cabinets required primer and three coats of paint. They thoroughly cleaned up after. We will definitely use Tom again! Master bath remodel next.

Initially, Tom came to look at what needed to be done and emailed an estimate. A date was set to begin the work. Due to hazardous weather, the project had to be rescheduled from earlier in the month. Tom and Chris arrived at the time they designated and worked diligently all day installing the window and drywall, returning on 03/01 to complete the shed and install the new dryer vent hose. All went very well and we are very happy with the work! I highly recommend this business and plan to use them again for future projects.

Getting ready to sell the house, Tom came in to paint and general drywall repair. He was prompt, really easy to work with (even when we added a few items to fix) and had high quality. I would recommend Tom for any handyman work around the house and use him again. 5 stars!

After reading his reviews on Angie's List, we asked Tom to come and give us an estimate for a number of things we wanted to have done before actually moving into our home during a relocation from Virginia to North Carolina. We thought it would be convenient to only have to deal with one person while accomplishing several things. One of the things we discussed was the possibility of screening in our deck. After carefully considering that job and taking some measurements, Tom actually declined to take that on, indicating that he could probably do it, but suggesting that we would be better off hiring someone who specializes in that. We were really impressed with his straightforward, honest response. Tom provided us with a timely estimate and we hired him for the other items (painting, installing light fixtures, and relocating the TV & switch to the fireplace). We had to be back in Virginia to prepare for the move, but Tom coordinated with our son and daughter-in-law who live in this area. As it turned out, the only day Tom was available was the day before our furniture was to arrive and we were leery that we might be pushing things too close to be safe. However, Tom assured us that all would be done... and it was! We had considered painting the rooms ourselves as we have done so in the past. However, because the ceilings were high and included lots of moulding that would require careful trim work, we decided to hire a professional. We could not be happier with the results. Tom did an excellent job! There was only one small glitch. The electrician Tom usually works with sent someone else (unbeknownst to Tom) who accidentally damaged the cable. However, Tom arranged for the appropriate person to come two days later to repair it and Tom, himself, came also to ensure the job was done to our satisfaction. And it was!

We are extremely happy with the work that Tom and his associate, Chris, did for us. The quality of work is great, they were very courteous, personable, and professional, and they thoroughly cleaned up after themselves each day. Tom quickly responded to our initial call, gave us a competitive and fair estimate, and he stayed on budget and kept to his schedule to complete the work. Tom was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely contact him for future home repair projects. We highly recommend him to friends and anyone in need of a good, honest, and respectful handyman.

Excellent work at a fair price. Crew showed up when they said they would, did professional work and left no mess behind. I was impressed by the prompt response to my phone calls and e-mails.

ff The work was performed quickly. Chris and Tom tackled jobs separately and all the work was completed in a very short time. The only issue was with the shower as the caulk cracked and peeled within a week of application. Tom was responsive when I contacted him about the problem. He was also quick to return and correct the problem (residual water behind the new caulk).

I found Tom on Angie's List. I needed someone who could handle a list of projects so I didn't have to call an electrician, a carpenter, etc. I am new to the area and figured I would use Angie's List to find someone reputable. If you have lots of small things or even big things you want done - Tom is your guy. First - he promptly responds to your call. That's a major point because I made another call and that individual said he would get back to me. It didn't happen. Tom also came to my house almost immediately to look at what we wanted done and then gave me an itemized list of the cost for each. I really liked that because I was able to group the things I cared about right away. He also told that he would not be the best candidate for one of the items on my list. It is a good sign when someone knows their limitations. He showed up promptly along with his helper Chris and every single thing I wanted got done. I was very happy with the quality of the work and the professionalism. They cleaned up behind themselves and when they left - everything was just the way I hoped it would be. I have several other projects and I won't hesitate to call Tom. In fact - I already blocked some time to get one of them done. I highly recommend A Master of All Trades.

I contacted Tom through Angie's List and within several days, I received a call for setting up an estimate. Tom arrived on time and at my convenience and assessed my needs/requests. I received a written estimate via email within a couple days and a date was set-up. His pricing was extremely reasonable as compared to a couple other estimates I received. Because of his busy schedule (that is really a good sign!), I had to wait a few weeks for his services, but it was around the Holidays too. I had to postpone the initial date due to a major mess with my tile company (not part of Tom's business). He and Chris came that day, as planned, and completed the other work that I wanted and did so in a timely manner. I was VERY pleased with the ease of working with the two of them. They are both very friendly, yet professional and helpful with decision-making. Tom is all about helping you to save $$. He assisted me with instruction on how to change my flood lights/cans in my kitchen to LEDs. I am SO glad that I made this change and I did it all by myself! $$ saved because Tom is just that way! They installed bead-board and trim to the island and it turned out fantastic! Very well done! They tore out the old back splash and got it ready for tile install. A few weeks later, they returned and installed the tile. It turned out just beautiful. I couldn't be happier with their work! Additionally, Tom helped me with the installation of a ceiling fan in my family room at no extra charge. They were very good at cleaning up after themselves and left the place looking good as new! He does not go from job to job.....comes to your house and completes his work there before he moves on to the next job....so you might have to wait a little bit to set a work date, but it is worth it! I would definitely recommend Tom... and Chris, in the future and if you want someone you can not only trust, but also someone who does great work, call Tom at A Master of All Trades!

Tom did an excellent job, and was very easy to work with. He provided a timely estimate and stuck with it. He was prompt, courteous and professional. It was nice to be able to have one person take care of all the items on our to-do list, since he is knowledgeable in all kinds of home repairs. I would definitely use again!

They were professional and did a great job. They cleaned everything up before they left.

Tom was great to work with. He did exactly as quoted, was on time, and the finished project looks great. We already have our next project scheduled with him.

Tom came out originally for an estimate about installing a hand rail in my garage, and later came out later when scheduled to complete the work. He and Chris showed up on time, completed things quickly (installing a top rail, a bottom rail, and some pickets), did a great job (very stable, installed at a good height, etc), cleaned up well, and also charged a very affordable rate. In all a super easy experience. I would definitely use them again.

This is the second time I've used Tom and Chris. They are great to work with. They do quality work, are very courteous, show up on time, clean up after themselves. I plan on using them again for future services.

Tom did a great job, on time and on budget. The bathroom looks great. When we ran into a scheduling problem due to a snow storm, Tom and his partner came to the house on foot part way to make sure their portion was finished before the next contractor was scheduled to come. Tom always responded to my emails promptly and performed the work as promised and when promised. I would definitely use him again for other work on the house.

We still can't believe how much Tom and Chris did in only one day! The biggest job was a bathroom rehab. Chris started this by transforming our scarfed-up walls into a smooth, paintable surface, then painted walls and woodwork. While this was in progress, Tom did the exterior work of changing out doorway lights, security lights, and locks. They installed a vanity, countertop, faucet, medicine cabinet, and storage cabinet. Tom went out his way to make the vanity fit perfectly to accommodate a vent and even fashioned a decorative cover to hide the rough floor under the vanity. This is just one example of how they paid attention to details without my even asking. They were neat workers and a pleasure to have in my home. I admit to being anxious about buying things like a vanity and hiring someone to make everything fit and look attractive. (A past experience was a nightmare!) Now I have someone I can trust - next job is the kitchen!

Chris, with many years of experience, showed up on time and was done in a timely manner. He was very professional and personable. I appreciate his attention to detail.

Tom and Chris did an excellent job. Tom responded quickly to my enquiry. He came to the house and looked at the issues, emailed me that evening with a quote, called the evening before the work day to touch base, and arrived on time and ready to work on the agreed upon date. I just can't say enough good things about both men. They worked hard and the workmanship was excellent. I feel so safe going down the steps on my deck now. And they look great!!! I will definitely recommend them and hire them again. A+++

Mike and Steve were great. They got to my house on time and finished the job quickly. They did a great job. Looked good. Mike was awesome with communicating with me and answering all of my questions. Can't wait to work with Mike and Steve on my next project. Good job guys. ~Tom Y

Tom is always the best. Very professional.

Quickly evaluated what needed to be done and recommended a cost-effective solution. Professional but nice and approachable. Asked about some other work around the house and I was impressed that he was open about what he could do well and what he would refer to other people. Will definitely keep Tom in mind for future projects.

Great job--showed up right on time, was courteous, professional, and did good work. Will definitely use again!

Chris did a very nice job on my room and it looks great! He arrived promptly when he said he would and worked all day, finishing exactly when he said he would. There was 1 minor flaw which needed attention, and when it was called to his attention, he came out the next day and fixed it to my satisfaction. The price was very reasonable for the work done. Would definitely use this company again!

I called on a Monday and Tom and Chris came the next day to do the job. Two of the fixtures were about 20 feet off the ground. They had ladders to reach everything and did a great job. Due to some challenges, I'm sure the job took longer than Tom originally thought. The original price quote was honored. I'm sure I will have other jobs in the future and will not hesitate to call Tom again.

All I have to say is. Everything went very well, did not know what to expect not knowing what you're getting into with people you don't know. Very, very, very pleased with the entire job. My house was a modular home and has been here for over 40 years. Completely paneling through the the entire house. Mike made my kitchen look like a totally different house. He also has excellent taste, trust him. He suggested painting the walls and it was a great choice and he gave me great choices to choose from. What can I say, everything from the first contact until the very end was professionally done and their mannerisms was just as professional. You won't go wrong selecting Master of all Trades with Mike Perry and Steve.
