Toolbox and Son Home Improvements

Excellent Very reliable. Highly recommend Steve and Kyle from Tool Box and Son

The corners of the top rail are completely uneven. The flooring is uneven. The railing is loose. He put holes in my vinyl siding. He left all his pressure treated wood for me to dispose of.  He nailed the railing it to my house through my vinyl siding.When I called the provider to get these issues fixed he came without my knowing and tried to bandage the issues. When I called again he cursed at me over the phone numerous times. When I told him I was going to take these issues to a higher authority he said go for it this job was done two months ago.  One half of my railing is still nailed into my home and the vinyl is cracked and he covered it with silicone which is now dripping down the siding due to the heat.

Steve and his son did major rennovations to all 3 levels of my home, including construction, plumbing, and electrical. For plumbing and electrical, he hired outside contractors. All work was covered by permits. Not all the work was completed to satisfaction. He made promises that were not kept and, but worst of all, his attitude (when asked to correct mistakes) was deplorable. During one conversation over text message, he even cursed me off for asking him to complete projects he left finished to "his standard," but not to mine.

I hired Steve initially to replace my Bilco basement door but found that he was a lot more than just a door installer when he pointed out several flaws in my finished basement so I hired him as my basement building contractor to ensure that the basement is redone with all permits and correct all issues. Steve took the challenge and did an excellent job of not only coordinating everything smoothly but did everything perfectly. He is highly ethical and takes a pride in doing his job perfectly. He works with his son. Thanks to Steve that now I have my basement with all permits and certificates and completely with code that I can have a real peace of mind. The basement looks much more beautiful than it was previously and Steve worked in my Budget. Apart from basement, Steve fixed my rotten bay windows that now look beautiful and created lot of shelving in my basement for storage, and many other small but necessary items. He will be my home improvement contractor for other future projects.

Steve did an excellent job on all counts.  Steve is very reliable and has a strong work ethic.   He did all the work that we agreed upon in the amount of time estimated (5 workdays).  Because of my work, I could not be home every day and left Steve and his son, Kyle, to work most days unsupervised with no one in the house.  Each day I returned home to see a new room beautifully painted, and the walls repaired and restored.   Most of the house hadn?t been painted since we purchased the place 25 years ago.  It was a challenge for Steve because it turned into more than just painting.  He had to fix a lot of rough areas and corners of the walls that had been damaged over the years.  As for the painting itself, I couldn?t have asked for more.  Steve did the work with patience and an eye for detail.  He did not rush.   
Steve works with his son, Kyle, who is learning from his father.   They were so neat.   I couldn?t believe that they actually vacuumed the floors when they completed an area, including the stairs!  One day I happened to be working from home and at the end of the day, there was Kyle on his hands and knees vacuuming my living room floor with the hose of the vacuum cleaner.  As a result, I did not have a mess to clean up after they had finished.   They treated my home as if it were their own.
Steve is very organized.   He kept a worktable set up in my hallway carefully stacked with his brushes, and tools, even work clothes and sneakers.  They did not leave anything around the house except for a ladder when they completed working for the day.
