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, a Master of All Trades' info is officially in our family's phone book. This is the guy you want to come help you out when you can't do it yourself. We would recommend him to our family, friends, and nice neighbors. ;) He's punctual (keeps in touch about arrival time by phone), friendly, and takes pride in his work. We had an old pipe from the dishwasher that connected to our sink do some damage when it leaked heavily (but not so much that it was immediately apparent). Yikes! Tom replaced both the bad plumbing work and the laminated particle board of the under-sink storage space, and you would never know that anything had happened- at all. He also fixed a bathroom fan that had stopped running because it had not been wired correctly. We were so impressed by his work the first time that we called him again when we needed help installing new platforms underneath our washer and dryer. It only took an hour (my husband having helped him do the heavy lifting) and, even though it probably wasn't his fist time doing it, he made sure to take a minute to read the manual to make doubly sure that what he/we were doing was correct (impressive.) We will definitely continue to use him in the future. *Date of service is not exact. *"Cost of service" was for 2nd visit and was less than the original price quote because my husband was able to help out quite a bit. If we had had a moving company come over and help us install the pedestals, we were quoted anywhere from $200-400 for the same job(!).
Description of Work: *Fixed damage done to the storage area under my sink due to a leaky line from the dishwasher. *Helped install platforms under our washer and dryer.

Tom was very friendly and professional. When I contacted him thru Angie's List, he called and gave me a date when he could stop buy to estimate the work. Upon completion of the estimate, he gave me a date when he could do the work. Both times he call the day before to let me know what time he would be here. He completed the work in two days, cleaned all areas. Very professional and friendly. I would use him again for any work I would have a need. I highly recommend him to anyone.

The original estimate was for installing tiles in the kitchen, entryway, and both bathrooms. However, upon removing the existing vinyl sheet flooring it was discovered that the sub-floor was made out of a concrete composite material called gypcrete that is not at all conducive to laying tile. I then decided to only get the kitchen and entryway tiled. Tom proceeded with the work, and did a great job. I am pleased with the end result. He made several trips to Lowe's and Home Depot to get all the materials needed to do the job. He left the condo clean and completed the job a day earlier than expected. I highly recommend Tom for all your tiling needs, and would not hesitate to hire him again for future flooring work.

He gave an estimate on the phone for the work to be performed as per my description of the work. He called ahead of time and was very puctual coming on time to perform the work. He had all the materials purchased needed for my work and had all the valid store receipts as my contract was for his labor charges only. He finished the work very professionally and was not in a hurry at all. He was very polite and easy to talk to. He also gave me a 10% senior discount on his labor charges! His charges seem to be very reasonable compared to others i checked. I would not hesitate recommending him to my family & friends for any future handymen work.
Description of Work: Tom replaced my old electric dryer vent with a new flexible metal vent from my dryer to the exhaust louver thru my crawl space. Also I had him put new hinges to my crawl space door and replace a faulty switch in my den.

Tom quoted a price for the work over the phone. We set a date and he showed up on time. The doorbell transformer was installed and the front doorbell button was repaired. Tom then installed the new kitchen faucet. He noticed that one of the doors for the cabinet that the sink sits in was loose and repaired it at no charge. He cleaned up and left the job sit as clean as when he arrived

Response from A Master of All Trades
(member name removed), as we discussed on the phone, I am very shocked and upset with the 'c' rating you gave me in the quality section. I did the best I could with what was there. Prior to me leaving I asked you if you were pleased and you said yes and that you would call me again for other client requests. If you were not pleased I would have given you alternative options to remedy the situation. As you will see from my 60 plus reviews II have NEVER received a 'c' grade in any category because I do not do inferior work. Appreciate it if you would reconsider.

Tom is great....I called him with very little short notice, first time I ever called him, and he was very responsive. I needed the door to my crawl space fixed per an inspection agreement. He reworked his schedule knowing the deadline was tight and really did a very nice job. Cares about quality.

I sent Tom a request for a quote over email and he replied promptly with an estimate of the costs. We scheduled a time/date that worked for both of us. Tom arrived on time and did an assessment of the work to be performed. He explained that the bathroom faucet would have to be replaced and was kind enough to head out to Lowe's to purchase the replacement. Once Tom returned he completed all the work as expected and on time. The final cost was within his initial estimate. He also gave me an estimate for installing tiles in my kitchen and bathrooms. I will definitely be reaching out to Tom to get that work done. Tom was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him!

My house is under contract and I had a list of due diligence repairs based on a home inspection. Tom gave me an email estimate the very same day that I contacted him via Angie's List. His estimate was incredibly reasonable. He called me the very next day and we set up an appointment 3 days from that date of contact. Super quick!! Tom completed all of the tasks in a timely and professional manner. He was very courteous and did outstanding work of the highest quality. I would absolutely recommend and hire him again.

Great. Tom arrived at the exact time he said he would.. Did a wonderful job, he cleaned up after everything was completed. My home was cleaner after he left than it was when he got there. I am already planning to have him do four more projects for me. He is very easy to work with and a great customer service attitude.

Tom Crudele is a very professional handyman from beginning to finish. I was getting my home ready to sell--he walked the property with me and made recommendations about what to do and not to do -- and was reasonable in his estimate of cost. Along the way, I had to add some things to the list of "to do's", and he very graciously accepted the extra work and completed it all in a timely fashion. Tom also went to get more supplies that were needed to complete one area of rotten wood that needed more than we initially thought for the repair. Tom is efficient and skilled in many areas of home repair/improvement, and he leaves the area as clean or cleaner than when he started the project. I highly recommend Tom for any home repair needs, from evaluation and recommendation of repair work needed to the successful completion of the work.

Tom was great to work with. Responded immediately to my initial outreach, scheduled to come the next week, was very open to adding to the project in the middle of it, as we changed our minds as to what we wanted/needed. Fee was very reasonable. We will certainly use him again in the future.
Description of Work: Tom removed a large plate mirror which was glued to the wall in our master bathroom, he fixed the wall behind it (after removing the wallpaper that was discovered under the mirror), moved an outlet (last minute request by us), resurfaced some areas of wall in bathroom and installed a new exhaust fan in bathroom.

Tom answered our initial phone call promptly and followed up by coming to our home for an estimate. The job involved a variety of tasks from interior painting, ceiling fan installation, additional electrical outlets and lighting as well as caulking and repairing walls and ceiling throughout our home. His estimate was reasonable. The work was performed timely and in a very professional manner. We enjoyed having him in our home and will definitely have him back. Thanks Tom.

Tom was very helpful when I called requesting an estimate for work to be done, giving me ideas on how to diagnose a problem with my bathroom fans, "even if I don't end up doing the repair" as he stated. It took about a week longer than other companies to schedule a time for him to come out, but it was worth the wait as he knew what he was doing, found the fan ventilation tubing within the insulation of my attic and completing a quick fix of the fans within an hour, even helping out with another bathroom repair while he was in there. He was polite, did great work and gave me a good understanding of possible repairs that will need to be made down the road, which I will certainly call on him for. Note: he completed this problem shooting and corrective work for a mere $60, whereas a competitor had told me that I would have to replace my fans for >$500 if I chose to go with them... glad I found Tom!

Tom was courteous, professional, and competent. Knew what he was talking about and took a careful look at all the issues - including going up in the attic to try to assess the cause of a roof leak. The prices he quoted were very reasonable. We didn't end up using him due to a scheduling issue (not his fault), but I would not hesitate to use him for any home improvement projects in the future.
