I would tell others that he was capable and he did it efficiently. He did it on time when he said he would. It was a good job. The quality of the work was excellent. He is a good man. He responded and he did the work.

I called the day before he was to go on vacation but he said he would come when he got back. He returned for an estimate and to listen to what I needed done. I was very pleased with his manner and forthrightness. He returned the next day and got to work. He is a steady worker and kept at it until the job was completely done. Robert is a very pleasant and personable man. I wouldn't think twice about having him back to do anything else I would need done.
Description of Work: I have a stand up shower. He took out all the grout from the ceramic tiles. Cleaned it thoroughly and re-grouted and caucked the entire shower. He cleaned up the residue and wiped down the shower so it looks like new. That sounds so easy but it is a hard job to get the old grout out properly without breaking tiles. He worked at it steadily until it was done.

As usual, Robert is terrific in his work - a complete perfectionist. The only challenge I ever find with Robert is trying to get on his schedule because his quality of work, range of skill set and professionalist are so high in demand. Nonetheless, he always calls to tell me when he can do the work, and shows up on time and delivers superior service. He comes and goes as needed, cleans up, and is truly responsible for keeping my 15 year old home looking like new. I can't give him enough praises for his work - I just wish there were 10 of him! The work for the garage doors took about 2 1/2 days, and cost right about what I expected it to be. If I had Home Depot do the install, the core work would have been about the same, but as usual with these kinds of projects, there were some unexpected twists. Bottom line Robert had to rearchitect most of the garage system. If Home Depot had been able to do it, I would certainly have paid much more than I did with Robert and likely without the attention to detail he provided.
Description of Work: I have had the pleasure of working with Robert for over 4 years now, and he has done a vast number of projects for me ranging from roof work and leak patching to garage door installation to shudder repair to crown moudling installation and interior/exterior painting. I call up Robert about every 6 months with a new list of projects, and there is no project he has been unable to tackle. Most recently, I asked him to revemove 3 old garage doors and install new doors, openers - the full operation.

The entire process was excellent. Robert called back promptly and was right on time on the day the work was to be done. All the work was handled very well. He works hard and knows what he is doing. The quality of the work is excellent.
Description of Work: Robert fixed several doors and a gate. He also did caulking. The doors had not been closing properly and the gate has been an issue for a while since I had thought I would need to get the fence company back...but Robert was able to fix that also.

Job went very good overall. Could not perform two other jobs due to schedueling conflicts and availability
Description of Work: Robert worked hard for two days to accomplish the jobs required, first he took care of five partial repair painting assignments in the garage, dining room, bed room and master bedroom/ master bath. Second he insalled three sinks two in master bath one in hallway bath. Did a good job, had to go three times to the hardware store to insure using the proper color paint, getting proper plumbing connections and get the correct types of sinks for the bathrooms

Everything was 100 percent perfect.
Description of Work: Due to a leak from the upstairs condo, we needed to have a section of the bathroom ceiling repaired, spackled and the whole ceiling painted,. Rob came on several evenings to complete the work as the spackle had to cure between sandings. He made sure all areas were protected and cleaned up spotlessly. There was not a speck of dust to be found. He came in under the suggested estimate from the insurance company. I would not hesitate to use him again. He is sometimes a little hard to get ahold of as his excellent reputation keeps his schedul quite full but he is worth the wait. All your questions are answered and he is extremely professional. I have a big project comming up in the basement which will require sheetrockig and laying a new floor as well as painting and creating an additional room. I plan on using Rob for this project as well. As far as I am concerned, I have found my forever contractor,

I'm impressed with the workmanship. He took the time to match the paint color so that I don't have a mismatched repair. He even noticed a few issues while working on the trim, and took care of those at minimum additional cost. He kept me informed during the process. This is a company I will be working with again in the future!

Robert responded within hours of my phone call and came out within one day to review the job. He quoted the price, came back at our previously scheduled date to complete the work . Robert did a meticulous job and cleaned up beautifully afterwards. It's so nice to have someone come into your home and do a job they said they would do and surpass your expectations. Robert is extremely professional, his rates are very reasonable and he is extremely dependable. I highly recommend BND.

I was very impressed by Rob’s recommendations. As he lives close to me, I decided to give him a try. Rob is extremely professional and was very agreeable to my schedule. Since it was a small job, we decided that he would come at the end of the day over several days time to complete the work on my bathroom ceiling. We had a leak from the upstairs condo which needed to be repaired spackled and painted. The quality of his work was excellent, his price was very reasonable and the clean up was immaculate. Not a spec of dirt could be found. We had basement damage from Irene and once the water problem is resolved, I will be calling Rob to re-do the basement. Outside of laying carpet, electrical and plumbing, Rob pretty much does it all. I’ve found my forever contractor.

Fantastic one man, you get the owner (at the risk of having a hard time getting an appointment in the future LOL) He worked so efficently that I was amazed what he got done in a day and I had a day rate pre-approved. Very much wanted to make me happy and I was!

I needed handles installed in my bath/shower in preparation for my aged mother's visit. This involved drilling through bath tiles - I job I did not want to risk myself. Even though Robert was very busy because of Hurricane Irene, he managed to fit this job in by coming around in the evening. He did a great job, and as always was a very friendly and helpful chap to work with.We are having more work done by him.
Description of Work: Installation of grab handles in a shower/bath.
Robert is an amazing handman -- professional, hard-working and courteous!! He answered my original call immediately, came over for the estimate within days and began the work as soon as he could since we are putting my mother's house on the market. He executed ALL the "little" jobs with expertise, cleaning up immediately and even took the time to do other chores we needed done. When he ripped up the carpet (which was not on the original estimate), he bundled it, swept up all the disintegrated padding underneath and took out the nails and staples. He was extremely careful with moving furniture while doing this. His rates are incredibly reasonable and I'd hire him again in a heartbeat! It's so nice to have someone you can count on who does beautiful work!

Robert does fantastic work; this is our second time hiring Robert and we were so pleased with his work ethic and craftsmanship. We have a detached garage with a second floor storage/attic area, but the only way to access the space was through a hole in the ceiling. Robert installed a set of retractable aluminum ladder-steps so that we can carry boxes up/down to this much-needed storage space. We also had a side door with glass windows that were shattered and, because of both safety and security issues, needed to have the door replaced. Robert's care for a job well-done was evident when he began to unload the new door that he was planning to use for the replacement; it seemed to have some manufacturing flaws, so Robert took the time to go back to the store and demand a new one, one that would work properly. Finally, Robert built some shelves in the garage to increase work and storage space in our garage. From start to finish, Robert was efficient, caring, and professional. He has officially become our "go-to guy" for all major home repairs!

Apparently Robert was too busy to provide an estimate or even to return my repeated phone calls. If you are too busy to do the work, say so. Don't waste a potential customer's time by looking at a job, and then ignoring multiple follow-up phone calls to check on status. Very unprofessional.
