'Couldn't be happier!! Robert came for a free quote, gave us great advice and told us about similar work he had performed. He ordered the door and brought it to us (we wanted to paint it before he hung it). When we were ready, he was ready. Came the next day and installed it. Cut out the small rotted sub-floor section, checked the surrounding area and beams and put it all back together with extra flashing and caulk at the same price as originally quoted. Rob was very thorough and clean. My wife and I couldn't be happier with how well this went. We are usually DIY'ers but this time, needed a professional to deal with the leak and necessary repairs. Rob had all the necessary specialty tools and worked with surgical precision to do a great job on the parts we see and the parts we hope to never see again.
Description of Work: Replaced rear door. Frame had rotted and occasionally leaked to basement.

Rob was great. He understood that this was time sensitive and went out of his way to get us the estimate and get the work done right away. The price was fair. The work was excellent. Will use him again.

Never heard back from him ...very hard to reach.
Description of Work: Tried calling him several times ....1st didn't get a respond for several days and then he called and said he was on vacation . Said he can pass by to look at the work because it was on his way but I wasn,t sure I will be home that time so he needs to call me to make sure I am here . Missed his call and tried to call him several times after to reschedule ... He never answer .he is so close to my house with good reviews I thought it is going to be a good match as a lot needs to be done around the house but didn't work.

BND performed the following: - Took down the shower box dry wall - Took out the shower base - Took out the show doors and panels - Replaced the existing shower head and controls - Replaced the dry wall with weather weather board suitable for wet surfaces - Re-tilled shower walls - Re-installed the shower doors and panels Some of the other main things BND did: - Saved me money by carefully removing existing shower doors and panels so that they can re-installed - Planning and carefully removing existing tiles along the edges of the shower box with the rest of the bathroom so that they can used later since I could not match the shower tiles with the rest of the bathroom. He did manage to give a very good definition along the borders and edges of the shower box - BND provided me accurate estimate of materials needed, e.g tiles, grout, etc. - BND supplied the shower box floor panel - BND supplied the dry wall replacement BND was very very professional and sincere once the job started. BND knows his job and knew exactly what he was doing. Will hire BND again for any similar job including kitchen replacement in the future. I very strongly recommend him. BND is very hard to get an appointment with because he is so busy and looking at his work I know why he was that busy. Once we scheduled the job BND was a true professional and completed the job with utmost sincerity and dedication.
Description of Work: We had a leaky shower box that was staining the ceiling downstairs. BND completely gutted the shower box and replaced the walls, tiling, floor and shower system.

I found another provider to do the work. This was a provider referred to my by a local resident.
Description of Work: After numerous calls and messages it took nearly 6 weeks to finally get a call back on my request which has long since been completed by another provider. Extremely disappointing !

Excellent work --the windows were under a deck which meant a lot of crawling around. Removed old windows and bolted well guards to foundation to prevent burglary. The job looks far too nice to be hiding in a basement!

It was not a simple job and wasn't just shim and level a new door into opening which was what the first guy did, so it had to be corrected. It had to start from scratch to reframe rough opening to make it so it opened and closed properly. Robert was very detailed and the cost included some additional cement work next to the door that needed repair which we asked him to do on the fly. He came on very short notice which helped us out tremendously and he did a terrific job.
Description of Work: Take out poorly installed exterior door, reframe rough opening, extend sill with cement, reinstall.

I had a ceramic title under the dishwasher which makes the installation of dishwasher difficult. Robert came the same day I called him and cut title. He tried to minimize the dust by covering with a big cloth. He did a good job!

After doing an assessment of the damaged shower wall, the upselling began (I understand that they are in business to make money but wow). After noticing a crack in the a tile on the bathroom floor, it was suggested that I might want to redo the floor, since he would already be doing tile work on the shower. Oh, and if he was going to do the floor he would have to take up the toilet and sink, so instead of just putting them back when the floor was done, I might as well take the opportunity to replace them also. I requested from him an estimate for repairing the shower wall and also an estimate for the shower wall and all the other work he had suggested. As of todate 5 weeks later I have not received an estimate. Maybe I don't have a poker face and he could tell that there was no way I was ever thinking about doing business with him.

Robert called from Florida in response to my call and on his return to area set up an inspection. He called in two days with a reasonable estimate. He did all the work the next day with superb results. The door was repaired when Pella told us had to be replaced. Overall all the work was much better than ever expected. We would give him the highest rating posible.

He did stop by after a bit of delay. He promised he would send me a quote. As I have seen on other reviews, looks like he is overloaded. Still, it certainly is annoying. he should at least call and let me know he can't take the job. I wish I could work with him. Reviews of people who actually worked with him are great and I am still open to working with him, if only he gets back to me :-(
Description of Work: Project is still pending. Would like to work with him, if he only responds. Cost of service is a guestimate based on my experience with other contractors. I never got an actual quote.

We used BND services to install wood look porcelain tiles in kitchen area. Rob came over, estimated the work and gave us some recommendations about the tiles and where to get them. Rob is a thorough professional - honest, hard-working and pays attention to details. His pricing was very fair. He is very knowledgeable and installed the new flooring single-handedly and with great care and attention. We love the results and I will highly recommend BND for home improvement projects.

I found BND on Angie's List...Robert the owner responded within 24 hours and did the job within 48 hours. I am very pleased with his quick response and performance, and after meeting him personally I now know he does a host of other home improvements...and look forward to employing him on other jobs for myself and my real estate clients.

My husband was home while they worked on the job and he was very pleased with the work they did and how they conducted themselves in a very professional manner. There was no mess left behind. Everything was totally cleaned up. I would use this person again. Very good work.
Description of Work: Installed new steps in the basement by the bilco door (we got the steps) Ripped out and replaced all the wood around the door leading into the basement, reinstalled the new door we already had installed (but the guy who installed the door originally said the wood needed to be replaced but he didn't have time to do it so he just put the new door in) BND replaced some drywall that was damaged around the door. Looks good!
