http://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/community/cary-news/article101762867.html My number one goal is customer satisfaction (Super service award winner 2012, 2013, 2014,2015,2016,2017 on Angie's list) which to me is defined as a client who is not only completely satisfied with my services but is willing to refer me to their friends, family and co-workers. I currently have serviced 850th clients! My work is my passion and I absolutely love providing my services to my clients. I get a real sense of pleasure when a client loves the work I have done, smiles and says thank you for a wonderful job. I perform most of the tasks myself, but also know when to say a job is out of my area of expertise. If/when that happens, I do know qualified contractors who can step in and perform the work at a very reasonable rate. I followup with my customer after the job is completed to ensure it was performed to their satisfaction, which is especially important since my reputation is on the line and as I mentioned prior, customer satisfaction is my number 1 goal. I can provide references upon request which I would challenge any other tradesman to do the same. I am confident you will be pleased with my workmanship and prices. Free estimates are available 7 days a week.

Tom and Chris were great. They were professional, worked quickly, cleaned up after themselves, and did a great job. Tom sent his plumber separately to install the hose bib and this was all completed as expected. Tom was very good about trying to save me money where possible and was upfront about everything. We will definitely use his services again.

Great! Tom, was prompt, reasonably priced, and took care of the problem. We have been able to count on Tom to arrive when he says he will, to do good work, to charge a fair price, and to get the job done when he says he will.
Description of Work: Replaced a leaking garbage disposal
Tom returned my call promptly and came out and reviewed project and provided an estimate. He was able to schedule the work for two days later. He and Chris arrived on time and did a "great" job in replacing the wood. They clean up and left everything as they found it. They did an excellent job! After the work was complete I asked Tom to give us an estimate on several addition projects inside of house. I definitely will use them again.

Tom is my "go-to" guy for all handyman/repair jobs. He's punctual, professional, does excellent work,his pricing is very fair. And he's honest! He has told me more than once that work that I had thought or had been told needed to be done, in fact did not need to be done. Recommend 100%.

Very professional and exceedingly helpful. Thank you!
Description of Work: Very prompt response to my phone call. Very helpful in providing me documentation of some damage that the home builder was responsible for, so that I could submit it to the builder.
Tom brought in Chris for the job and he was very courteous and professional. He spent a great deal of time performing quality work. Chris was careful to contain any dust. The painters I enlisted the next day commented on how nicely the walls were prepped for my bathroom renovation. Will definitely use Tom and his staff in the future!
Description of Work: Prepped master bathroom walls and skylight for future painting. Also, repaired and smoothed ceiling from previously installed light fixtures and kitchen ventilation fan area. Patched area in wall that was removed for plumbing access.
We were very pleased with all the craftsmanship and skills Tom provided while redoing our kitchen. From start to finish, he was easy to work with. His pricing was fair and always professional. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone and plan to ask him back for other projects.
Description of Work: Tom renovated our kitchen. He completely gutted it, built a header for main support, installed cabinets, tiled entire kitchen floor and did an outstanding job on it all!

Response from A Master of All Trades
$400 for labor & materials for 6 hours of work seems very reasonable to me especially since the material cost was $82.50. If price was an issue then why hire me? I have worked for the client several times and price was never an issue since I always write up a formal estimate and there are never any surprises when being paid. Regarding responsiveness: I apologize if I am booked months out. I guess that is a blessing in disguise since I am highly rated on Angie's List. Once again if that was an issue why hire me? The items that needed to be addressed have been issues for years (wood rot) and a few weeks wait should not be an issue. If there was a leaky pipe or an emergency issue I would have been there immediately as my client is aware of. Tom

He went the extra yard for our job. Prompt, pleasant and a real problem solver. Did a wonderful job for us, we even asked him about additional jobs in the future. I would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: We had a shelf unit with drawers that ran from the front to end of my garage. We had an issue to pull the unit from the wall so the exterminator could get behind it. It was very attached to the wall. We called several companies, got a hold of Master of All Trades and they stated they could be out the next day and they did. There were things inside the unit and on top that I had not removed. He removed all of these items for us and was able to move the unit off the garage wall.

I called Tom to repair the stair railing that had been pulled out of the wall by movers. He completed the job so quickly and to my satisfaction that I requested he fix three doors that were sticking. He unhinged the doors, planed them down and repainted the planed areas. He did all of this in under an hour. Very professional, friendly and at a fair price. Can't beat that!
Description of Work: Stair railing repair and door repair
Tom, his assistant Caesar and his crew arrived promptly at 8:00 am. We reviewed work list. They moved furniture as I directed. Covered floors to protect from paint splatters. Started preparing walls and making repairs. I left and ran errands. They worked until around 7:00 pm (?). Second day, they arrived at 8:00 am promptly and continued work. Again, I left. Tom texted me around 4:00 to say they were finishing up. I walked through the work, found a few clean up items and adjustments needing to be made. They promptly made those clean ups and adjustments. Replaced furniture. During the process, they sprayed painted the doors on the lawn, which left white paint on the grass. The townhouse landscapers were not concerned & said it would naturally clean up, in addition Caesar will come and rake the area. After they finished I noticed the bathroom hooks were not reinstalled to the back of the bathroom doors. I called Tom, and within a day, he brought out 4 bathroom hooks and installed them. My townhouse is 30 years old & I've lived here 12 years without repainting and making several miscellaneous repairs. It is nice to have clean walls and have all of those repairs made. I wish I did it sooner!
Description of Work: Painted interior of 900 sq ft townhouse, including all interior doors & bi-fold closet doors. Primed as needed. Painted 2-3 coats as needed. Sanded, caulked and spackled walls and doors as needed. Primed and painted fireplace. Adjusted doors to fix correctly. Hung towel rods, replaced ceiling registers, patched cracks in foundation, patched popcorn ceiling and many other miscellaneous small repairs.

Wow what a shocker! Prior to me leaving, I asked if you were pleased, and received a resounding YES from you and your wife. I showed up on time, did a quality job, acted very friendly and professionally and receive a 'b' rating in those 3 categories. Kindly explain how I can 'better' myself for my 510 customer? In the future, for other contractors kindly be upfront with them with your critiques rather than having them read your negative comments on line. Treat people the way you would like to be treated!

Tom and his team showed up right on time on the morning he was scheduled to do the work. They began work right away and surprisingly completed our entire list by the end of the day. Tom was resourceful when needed parts were not included in the light fixture we had purchased and he got the job done in spite of the missing parts. They were very professional. I would not hesitate to use this service again. I would also recommend the service to others.
Description of Work: We had a list of repairs that they completed. Included replacing some siding and painting, scraping and painting the exterior window frames, repairing loose bricks on front steps, replacing kitchen light fixture and more.
