I have learned that Markus is completely self-absorbed and believes he is above both human decency and the law. The only reason he treated me well at all is because he wanted to use my status as a retired senior military officer to advertise and support his business. Your choice to hire him or not, but take it from someone who knows him very, very well... you and your project mean no more to him than the man in the moon... unless he thinks you can bolster his false image as a man of integrity.
Description of Work: Markus has done many repairs and improvements for me since 2010.

That was a disaster. I am in the military and right before I was deployed, I had a foot rail fence which was getting worn out and I had them come out and give me an estimate. the estimate was a little steep but they were timely in giving the estimate. Then the repair job they did didn't work and he wanted to charge extra for cleanup as it was not in the estimate.We then renegotiated and he never showed up or came back. I called someone in to do the job so that I could have it done properly and quickly. My property is about an acre and he was pulling out the foot rails and dumping them there although garbage collection in our area is free, he would not take them to the street.He did the job about 4 months ago but because of the way he did the job, I have not paid him. I will not recommend him or use him again.
Description of Work: He came in to replace foot rails and he did a horrible job

The replacement of top boards look good. Did not paint all that was replaced. One section was left. It could have been an oversight. The top deck was only painted were a stand up and push brush would reach. He did not use a hand brush to finish the edges. He did not paint between the cracks{ you don't walk on crack was his reply} It looks bad. I have had my nephew{11} start to finish it. He was here a total of about 61/2-7 hours. He did not furnish the materials or paint. He did use his own nails to replace 4 bad boards. $625.00 seems high. He was due to arrive on April 21. He called at 11am to tell me he had to take his dog to. the vet. The next day he arrived at 11am to tell me he has too much work to do and that he would return the next day. On the 23 he arrived at 8am . I had an appointment he said that was OK that he would be there . I called my mother about 2:30. She said he had been gone for a while. On the 24 he arrived 8am and left at 9 am. Betty McGowan

We needed to get some kitchen work done. It took us a couple of month until we found Hubby for Hire. The Hubby for Hire team came in a blew us away on timeliness of service and quality of work. If you need it done with quality, call Hubby for Hire.

Markus and his assistant arrived on time and immediately got to work. I could see that the installation of the shed door was more complicated than had been anticipated, but they put their expertise and ingenuity to work and got the job done. Markus is very exacting and stayed with the job until the door fit and performed the way that he wanted it to. They also replaced the ramp to make it safer to drive the riding mower into and out of the shed. The door to the crawlspace was fashioned, fitted, and a hasp for a lock installed. Markus enjoys his work and I believe that his cheerful attitude definitely enhances the experience of his clients.
Description of Work: New door fitted and installed on outdoor shed. Door fashioned and installed for home's crawlspace.

I called and left a message for the owner and he called me back promptly. I told him I needed a window repaired and the gate on my fence and some general carpentry work. He said that he could do that and I gave him my name and address. We set a date and time at the end of the week, (two days away) for him to come to my home. I took the day off of work and waited. He never showed up and never called. I called him but he never answered nor did he return my phone calls.

Marcus was unreliable, unprofessional and rude. Unreliable - After making an appointment he did not show up, twice! Saturday, after evaluating the repairs needed, he said he would repair my garage door Friday at 10 AM. I have to take time off from work so I confirmed with him on Wednesday he was still on for Friday. He confirmed via email he certainly was. Friday 10 AM there is no Marcus. I called him and he said he had emailed me that the parts were not in and could we postpone until Monday at 10 AM. I checked my email and he had emailed the postponement at 7:50 Friday! I am at work by 8 AM so no way to get the message. I explained to Marcus to please communicate by phone not by email and agreed to Monday. Unprofessional - Again I took time off from work and again at 10 AM no Marcus. I called him and he would not answer the phone. I called a second time with same results. I left a message cancelling our verbal contract for repair, expressed my dissapointment in his performance and called a different company. Rude - I have yet to hear from Marcus to either explain why or apologize for his no show or lack of response. Lost 2 half days of work and still no repair. I hope my next Angie's list experience is better.
Description of Work: He was a no show no call so no services.

I have had to call on many contractors since I have lived in my newly purchased home, and I have to say, Markus is above and beyond the most RELIABLE, honest, and hard working that I have come across. His prices are reasonable, and he is extremely concerned with your satisfaction of a job well done. He is always easy to get a hold of by phone or email, and can always be counted on to do repairs in a timely manner. I have been very satisfied with all of his work.
Description of Work: Markus has completed a large variety of services for me in the last four months. Everything from drywall to plumbing to digging projects outside (installed a drain system) as well as staining and repairing my deck and wooden play set. He also fixed a vapor barrier under my house that was installed very poorly. He also patiently crawled under my house for hours repairing many squeaky floorboards in my hardwood floors. (Couldn't find anyone else who would take this on) Additionally, he recently repaired my dryer vent inside of my ceiling that had been improperly installed by the builders, fixed a leaking window, and replaced a piece of siding that had blown off of my house.
