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 let me know they stay busy and now I see why. He and Chris did a great job getting this space ready to be a bedroom. The came when then said they would and worked quickly and professionally and the project was completed a little early. I recommend Tom and would certainly hire A Master of All Trades again.

This is the fourth time Tom has done work for me and, as in each previous experience, he was pleasant, friendly, and professional. His work is always thorough and fully explained. I truly believe that he wants his customers to understand exactly what work he is doing and either why it is necessary or what the options are for remedying the problem. I trust Tom absolutely and feel confident that he will deal with me honestly and ethically.

Excellent! Tom & his team showed upon time with materials in hand to execute the job. They closed out all action items with utmost professional attention to quality and completeness. I have used Tom before and keep his magnet on my fridge. I go direct to Tom/MadterOfAllTrades when I need a home repair done: I know it will be done right the first time and with courteous/attentiveness.

We have used Tom several times over the past few years and once again he delivered exceptional results. He and Chris arrived at the scheduled time and began to work immediately. On the second day they once again arrived exactly on time. The jobs were completed in the time frame promised and the quality of the work was exceptional as always. I told Tom as he was leaving that I would begin to put together my next list and give him a call when I needed it done.
Description of Work: We needed to have our garage prepped and painted. There were also several boards and siding on the exterior that needed to be replaced. We also were replacing two exterior lights beside garage and two ceiling fans on our front porch.

It went smoothly. It was a three-day project, as predicted. It was a labor-intensive job, lots of trips up and down the stairs. They arrived at 9 sharp every morning and worked until 4 or 5. They did just a great job.
Description of Work: Tom and Chris renovated one of our upstairs bathrooms. A few months earlier, they had redone our other upstairs bathroom, and we wanted to have them back to do the same to the other bathroom. They installed a tile floor, crown molding, new fixtures for the shower and sink, new lighting, and a mirror -- and painted the walls and ceiling.

Tom and his team were very professional. Tom reviewed our needs and gave us ideas that ultimately saved us money. We had a situation of misunderstanding on what was included in the agreed upon services, but still went ahead and performed additional services without charging us. Tom is definitely one of those professionals you feel comfortable working with, and his services were a real value for money. Now I know whom to call for any services at my home, "A Master of All Trades"

Tom quickly came out and gave me an estimate and we were able to schedule a time for him to come do the work. In the process he discovered a problem with the flooring I had purchased and the existing flooring. He made everything work in the front entry but suggested I use tile for the back door as it would look better. I went with his suggestion and had him come back to do the tile work as well. Everything looks great and I am happy with the results.

I've relied on Tom and his team for work around the house over the years. The word "handyman" isn't an accurate description of Tom's services as he's an expert in many areas of home repair, beyond that of your typical handyman. I've engaged Tom for projects like installing ceiling fans, tiling the kitchen, and various plumbing and electrical repairs. Tom has always been courteous, professional, on time and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Tom and his team at A Master of All Trades.

Responded to inquiry quickly. Arrive on time. Repaired the drywall, installed new shelf and original shelf so it looks much nicer. Tom and Chris were very professional and nice. I am very please with the work I can't tell where the cuts in the drywall were. He also gave me an estimate of cost of putting in shelving in a storage closet.
Description of Work: Repaired three areas in drywall cause by ductwork repair and installed shelf in laundry room. He provided shelf and the material needed and I reimbursed for that. Also caulked and fixed the original shelf that was damage in the ductwork repair because that repairman just put out the shelf without cutting the caulking.

I called and spoke with Tom Crudele, the owner. He was able to come give me an estimate the very next day. He was then able to schedule the work for the following Monday due to an opening that came up in his schedule. Based on his good reputation on Angie' List and his professional manner, I felt I could trust him with my garage code to do the work when I wasn't home. I received an update from him via text message when he finished. When I got home later that evening, everything looked great, with no mess and just as I had requested.
Description of Work: After looking on Angie's List, I selected A Master of All Trades for a couple small jobs. I needed some drywall repaired in three places in my kitchen where an electrician had gone in to wire some new lights. I also had some wood root in a few places on the trim around my front door.

Recommended without reservation! Both Tom and Chris were timely, hardworking, and extremely friendly. I work from home so we were on top of each other a lot over the past few weeks, but it was a true pleasure to have them in our home. Great people and very skilled at what they do. Incredible bang for the buck and all of the results are breathtaking. Beautiful tile work on the floors, great job painting a LOT of dark and notoriously hard to cover varnished wood trim, beautiful work with the kitchen cabinets. If you are thinking about working with Tom, stop thinking and do it now! We found out in the middle of the project that we will be selling the house in 6 weeks for a career-related move. Very bittersweet, as we won't get to enjoy the fruits of Tom and Chris's labor for long, but well worth it as our realtor is blown away by the quality of the updates and the value they'll add to our list price. I only wish I could bring Tom and Chris with me to our new hometown to help with the home-improvement projects we will inevitably have there!
Description of Work: Removal of two linoleum floors (kitchen and laundry room) and laying new porcelain tile, repainted living room varnished wood paneling in living room and two bathrooms, changed double vanity in bathroom, installed 6 new ceiling fans, installed 6 LED can lights, painted kitchen cabinets, removed handicap bar from bathroom wall and patched hole, patched ceiling, moved two sconces to center them over vanity, installed two new chandeliers

Tom did an excellent job not only installing and painting the doors but he also ordered them for us and picked them up at the store. This was very helpful because we do not have a truck and we were unsure of exactly which door to get. He came and got accurate measurements. He is very reliable and charges reasonable prices.
