Description of Work: I called him once and we spoke. He needed to call me back to set a date for an estimate. I never heard back from him. 3 weeks later, he called, and said he had lost my number. I had not yet decided on a contractor so decided to allow him to come by and take a look at what needed to be done. He said he would call me that upcoming Monday, in the morning, to let me know if he would be coming that evening or the next day, Tuesday evening. I had no problem. Again, it is a week, or more, later and I never heard from him. Very Rude! If your that busy, then good for you. But don't leave people hanging!

Description of Work: Stabalized the pergola on my patio to prepare for the delivery of a hot tub spa. He also made some other minor repairs inside my home. Nice guy. Very busy but he worked me into his schedule. I will have him back for some other repairs.

Description of Work: Our 60-year-old hand-stained, custom-sized kitchen drawer- front literally had the side edges torn off from wear, and the tracks on this drawer and the large drawer below it were non-functional. Robert, who enjoyed the challenge, took measurements, and came back with a a perfect match to the drawer below it. He created a way to attach the runners, and put it all together so that we have two functioning drawers again - and the new drawer front matches the rest of the kitchen! He offered a very fair price and we appreciated his taking on such a limited renovation - two drawers! We had to wait a little to get on his schedule, but it was worth it.

Description of Work: I called Robert to fix a ceiling and redo a bathroom. The work he did is beautiful and he was reliable and very neat to boot. Whenever I'm ready to do more work there is no doubt that I'll call him again. Thanks Robert!

Beautifully!
Description of Work: Robert fixed the rotted trim on the garage door as agreed earlier and it looks like new. While he was at the house, he offered to cut down a tree which needed to be cut before sale of the house. He took pains to do it safely and carted all the limbs and debris to the front of the lawn for pick up as well as bagging some small debris. This was not on his schedule and was so appreciated! His work ethic is amazing!

Description of Work: I had been pleased with BND in the past, but Robert's unresponsiveness to my last request for an estimate is extremely disappointing. It's been about six weeks since I spoke to him about work I'd like to have done and, although he indicated he would get back to me by the end of that week, I haven't heard from him since. The courtesy of a simple call back to explain the delay would have been appreciated.

His work was perfect, his responsiveness outstanding and his charges were truly reasonable. He did exactly what I asked of him and he will be back to take on more projects when time permits. I would recommend him to anyone for small or large jobs. He clearly takes pride in his work.
Description of Work: Robert took care of a list of small projects that I needed done for more than a year such as lowering a chandelier and mirror.

By the time I found Robert on Angie's List, my list of projects had grown rather large, as had my list of not-so-handy handymen. There should be a category for Home Improvement, as Robert's expertise is well beyond the scope of the average handyman. On each occasion that Robert worked at my house, he was the consummate professional and exceeded my expectations on every project he worked on. All final charges were as expressed in the original job proposals. I highly recommend BND and look forward to having Robert work on future projects.
Description of Work: Replaced areas of rotting wood on two front bay windows, caulked and painted windows as well as trim around front door; powerwashed house; powerwashed, replaced deck railings and stained deck; repaired bulge in vinyl siding; repaired a broken doorbell wire (in a matter of minutes, after an electrician estimated a work time of two hours for the same problem); found and resolved the sources of two leaks damaging the kitchen and living rooms ceilings, which were subsequently repaired; installed new faucets and Jacuzzi and shower hardware in master bathroom; installed vanity countertop/vessel sink/faucet in another bathroom; installed new window blind and curtain rods; other minor (but much needed!) miscellaneous repairs.

Great! Robert was very responsive, called back, and showed up when he said he would. He managed to squeeze our repair in between his other jobs to make sure it got done before the weather turned bad. He was very professional, explained clearly what he would do and why, and gave a lot of good advice on top of that. The work was finished in approximately half a day-so far so good.

They stayed from 9 am to 4 pm. He did an extraordinary job. He called me back and came out within the same day. He spent a day and a half on the job. We will come back to Angie's List over and over again because it was such a good experience.
Description of Work: They cleared out all the gutters in our two story house. They cleaned the exterior of the gutters and power washed the entire house.

Robert was fantastic. Within two weeks of calling him, he was at my house doing the work. He was professional to a tee, came prepared with all the tools and worked quickly and precisely on all the projects. He even touched up various things I didn't ask! His work was excellent, and I will be looking to hire him again for future jobs.
Description of Work: Robert spent a full day at my house tackling a wide of array of tasks including repairing two garage doors. One door was not opening and closing due to a malfunctioning part, and one had become disconnected from the spring. Robert then oiled both down and got both to function almost as new. He re-affixed all of the top shudders on the front side of our house. Two had come off completely and several others were pulling away from the brick front. He purchased and hung wire shelves in laundry room. He patched around front door, caulking, etc. Removed two sets of old vanity mirrors, sheet rocked, and painted over. Other miscellaneous work.

He came very early at around 7:30 AM and finished the job within 3 hours. He opened the ceiling after doing some measuring and found the disconnection almost immediately and connected the elbow pipe using a shiny tape instead of duct tape to connect the pipes together. He is very neat and coated the ceiling back using a fast drying spackle paste. I will definitely call him back if I need any repairs or carpentry work at home.
Description of Work: I contacted him to fix my dryer vent which was disconnected to the exhaust outside my townhome. It is not easy to find where it was disconnected because the dryer is in the center of the house.

Robert spent the whole day fixing various problems in the house we just moved into. The quality of his work was excellent, he worked fast and we thought his price was very good. When he saw that there were additional little problems that weren't identified until he started working, he would take the initiative to just fix them and not charge extra. It is a small business, so it took a little time to get into his schedule, but he did all the work himself and we would definitely recommend him.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced insulation on exterior French doors in our house, adjusted and replaced a couple of door sills, removed and replaced a moldy section of sheet rock in our basement, patched and painted moldy sheet rock under kitchen sink, repaired sagging/warped built-in shelves in family room and fixed a broken pin on closet bifold doors.

Robert Rokoszak of B & D Distinctive Improvements is the absolutely best handyman ever. He can work on something as small as a door knob to as big as building a whole house. He was on time, immaculate, and his work is very high quality. He is phenomenal. Give him triple stars.
Description of Work: He installed a ceramic tile, for a 1,400 square foot floor in my basement.
