About us

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 was extremely professional and knew what he was doing. I will definitely recommended him and will use him in the future.
Description of Work: The toilet fill value was broken. I call Tom on a Sunday to see if I could schedule him for the following week. However Tom came over the same day. I was expecting to replace the fill value but Tom was able to fix it in short amount of time and saved me the expense of a new value. Despite coming on a Sunday, the fee charged was minimal.

Tom worked very hard and did an excellent job. He was punctual and courteous, and he expertly knew how to complete all the jobs we asked him to do. This was the second time Tom worked for us (he previously painted our garage and did numerous other jobs in our brand new house on October 23-24th). We highly recommend him, and we hope to use him again. He is very busy, so we will have to put our names on his waiting list (it is worth the wait).
Description of Work: Tom built two Wayfair twin-bed headboards, put up two shelves in our laundry room, moved the furniture and put down an area rug in the master bedroom, and pulled a cable through our crawlspace (from the bedroom to the living room).

Tom is part of, in my humble opinion, a vanishing breed of individuals who believe in an honest wage for an honest days work. He called ahead to let us know when he would be arriving, showed up on time, was very respectful, and did an amazing job. He even took care of some nail pops in the ceiling for free as a courtesy. We had gotten several other quotes from Angie's List members ranging from $250-$650! Tom charged us $170 and we couldn't be happier. He seems to really enjoy his work and prides himself on repeat customers by offering good service at a fair price. He books up quickly and now we see why. He was absolutely worth the wait.
Description of Work: Tom repaired and repainted ceiling. My husband managed to puncture our bathroom ceiling while trying to install an antenna in our attic.

Everything went extremely well. I was very happy with the outcome. Chris is quick, thorough in everything he does, and has such a pleasant, happy demeanor. The desk took the longest period of time but he still had time to complete all the other jobs which I was not expecting. When he first assembled the desk it had to be raised several inches to reach a comfortable height for keyboard use. He quickly made the adjustments (it's not a quick job for a non-handyman to undertake) and went onto the other jobs. When installing the wall shelving unit he made sure the unit was centered on the wall and at the exact height needed. He was resourceful and used some pieces of hardware he had on hand that were needed to finish some of the jobs. I'll definitely use Chris's services again.
Description of Work: Chris assembled a mobile desk, tightened up a wobbly coffee table, installed a wall shelving unit in a bathroom, installed a light in a high ceiling fixture, installed 5 door stops, and re-secured a wire shelving unit in a closet.

It went just fine. Everything went as expected.
Description of Work: He responded to my initial message, requested a picture of the deck, and gave me aa estimate and available date to do the work. He removed several very long boards from the deck to find the gas grill gas line so the gas company can come and cap the gas line. Mr. Crudele worked steadily during a downpour - it rained most of the day. Mr. Crudele responded quickly to my message, arrived as scheduled, and worked efficiently. I would call him again if needed and highly recommend him to others.

Response from A Master of All Trades
I apologize for being so busy (which is a good thing), but that is my life since joining Angie's List and having an A+ rating. I gave the customer the option of cancelling the 'big deal' offer with Angie's List but he chose not to. I have contracted the work to a co-worker who will perform the work on 11/7 and will no longer participate in the 'big deal' since most customers are not willing to wait for my availablity. All reading this: PLEASE call contractors well in advance for estimates and do not expect to have the work done within a week or 2 or 3 since reputable contractors are always booked for several weeks. If you do find a contractor who can perform the work within a few days there is a reason they are available...beware!

Tom is simply fantastic! Everything I needed he was able to complete, so helpful and also offered up less expensive alternatives to repairs that were needed. He was on time for every appointment and finished the entire project right on schedule. I already have started a list for the next visit and have a list for him for our new house, including building out/upgrading all the closets. I have heard so many nightmare stories from friends trying to find a great all-around handyman, Tom was a wonderful surprise and I feel lucky to have found him!
Description of Work: We are getting ready to sell our home and had a variety of things that needed to be done. Tom replaced light fixtures, repaired screened porch, repaired a gate, completed sheetrock repair, replaced a window and door, grouted in kitchen and bathrooms and made a few other electrical repairs.

Responsive. Prompt. Honest. Professional. Tom was very responsive. Within hours of emailing him, he responded with a detailed quote. On the day of service, he arrived when he said he would. He is personable and professional. I felt very comfortable with him in my home. One of the projects on my list was to replace the garbage disposal. He encouraged me to try to let him fix it instead of replacing. He saved me the cost of the new disposal and his time. Another project was to clear the dyer vent. He not only cleared that but also removed a wasp nest from another vent. Tom exceeded my expectations on every level - from customer service to quality of work.

My husband and I thought Tom did a fantastic job. He returned my initial call promptly and was over here shortly thereafter to go through our list with us. By that night I had an itemized email with quotes on each item. He arrived on the date we scheduled, and called beforehand to let me know that he would be a little early. He worked in a focused manner and did so diligently until the job was fully complete. The only break he took in the ten hours it took, was 30minutes for the lunch that he had brought. I felt like Tom was straight forward and fairly priced and my husband and I will certainly use him in the future.
Description of Work: Tom went through my entire house with a punch list that I had provided before hand, and on which he had quoted, and completed each item. The items included everything from patching sheetrock to replacing a window sill that had been damaged and was rotting, caulking kitchen and master bath, trimming a closet door that would not close, having my deck repaired, etc.

Tom was the quickest to respond to my inquiries out of all the handyman companies I contacted. In addition, he dealt with my repeated questions, my requests for clarification and my "What about ?" questions. He was also to take the inspection report and work right from it and provide an estimate along with a note that said, "It could be less if ?" so I had a higher threshold that was already reasonable, and a reduction in the end! The work he and his colleague did was great! Up on the roof to fix boots, shingles, nail pops, etc and on the ground for garage door work, up the side of the house for vinyl adjustments and under the porch for more. Everything we asked him to do, he did, PLUS! My husband even said sarcastically, "Ignore the line on the invoice for helping me move the grill." That wasn't, obviously, a part of the plan, nor was there an actual extra charge, but Tom helped move it off the deck for us. Those little things add up to great service, support and results. The roof is done. The garage is done. The vinyl is done and that means a HUGE list of inspection items is in fact complete!

Tom was very professional and got everything done in one day. Additionally, our washing machine was delivered the day he was working while my wife and I weren't there. Our basin wasn't properly secured and the delivery guys didn't want to install it, so Tom helped fit a drainage pipe and seal a basin to allow our washing machine to washing tube properly installed at no charge. We also has a leaky faucet that we wanted fixed, but we didn't have the right part. As such, Tom showed me how to fix it for no charge. Tom is highly knowledgable, professional, no-nonsense and charges a fair rate. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone who needs a lot of random home repairs done!
Description of Work: Disassembled and removed wood framing from crawl space (took to dump...took all day), installed and switched several ceiling fans, fixed crown molding in kitchen, and caulked several bathtubs/showers. Additionally showed us how to fix our leaky faucet and sealed our washing machine basin without charge.

Tom's service was excellent. He arrived on time for the initial estimate visit and offered several cost-saving ideas. He performed the work quickly and as promised. I was surprised at how well he was able to repair dog damage to doors and window sills in our home. The new bathroom fixtures looked great. We now use Tom as our regular handyman for house projects because of his great service, reasonable prices, and professionalism.

Tom gave us a prompt estimate, and let us know when he'd be available. He and his crew arrived promptly on the scheduled day, and did all the required work, including multiple coats of paint where necessary. Everything was installed well, and the pain job was fantastic. We are very happy and would use Tom's service again.

We are updated many areas of our home as finances become available so I need someone who can do a lot of small tasks. He called before he came, arrived well prepared and ready to go to work. His quote was "per task" instead of "per hour" so I knew exactly how much the cost would be. He was careful to protect my walls and floors while using his ladder. His truck contained all the tools needed to tackle everything he encountered. These small things can be easily overlooked by others but are very important. He explained the various options available to handle each task and asked me which method I preferred. Also, he is bonded. That is important to me. As we continue to update our home, I will be calling Tom to do the work. I would (and have) recommended him to my friends and family.

Tom was fantastic-I saw a writeup on his business in the monthly magazine sent to us under pages of happiness. I called Tom on a Wednesday, and expected that he wouldn't be able to do this job, as it was very small, and was at least 30 minutes away from where he lived. Tom surprised me, and said he'd be happy to do this, and would come over on the 4th of July to complete this job. On July 3rd, I received a phone call from him, and he offered to stop by and do the work one day earlier. Tom completed the work within a half and hour, and made sure that the door, which was being hung 10 feet above my staircase was hung level. This wasn't an easy door to hang due to it's location above the actual stairs, but Tom did a fantastic job. I would recommend his services to anyone.
