Monk's Home Improvements

Monk's helped me out in a bind. I was on a short timeline doing a complete kitchen renovation. I had another company scheduled to come out and refinish the floors, but I never heard from them and they never showed up. In a hurry, I found Monk's through Angie's List. I called them up and explained the situation and they were able to send a crew out the next day to get my floors done. The floors came out nice.

A pretty good experience with them, they did very good Job. They are really professional, patient, polite with fine workmanship and great painting quality. My house looks beautiful again, especially my deck looks like new one. We are so happy now.

We didn’t end up using them because the bid was quite high and I felt it was excessive. I thought the quote was very thorough and it was prepared in writing. We had a meeting which was setup. They do a lot of business in our town and that’s why we got the bid from them.

I got a prompt response and the man was very professional. But the price was WAY too high and out of my budjet, so I got someone else. I had wanted a window removed from a very old house, and a new one installed. I got the impression that it was more work than they wanted to do. I would call them again for something like painting.

Excellent. Crew was attentive to our needs, kept a tidy work site, and gave us a floor we're proud to show off.

Todd and his crew from Monk's have always done and still do excellent work. Travis's team were very professional, prompt, and efficient. We would use Monk's without hesitation now and in the future.

Very nice job. Arrived on time, very courteous, completed work as scheduled, cleaned up everything after finished. Work was completed about a month ago - looks great. No chips or cracks in paint.

The power washing of the house was done quickly and to my satisfaction. The railing initially looked great but when it dried it did not look "finished". It looked like it just needed another coating of paint. I called and they said they would send someone out in a couple of days to add another layer of paint. A week later and no one had come by yet. I called again and the next day the project was finished. In the end the railing looked great. My only complaint would be that I had to call to remind them that the job was not done. Besides that the work was great and they were friendly and professional.

A simple crown moulding paint job somehow produced both paint and scratches on new hardwood floors, d**** in walls, and paint on brand new sofa. All this after they had to come back to fix other issues. Shockingly awful.

Monks did a decent job and George was very professional, helpful and friendly. I would use them for future projects as well. Comfort level was high.

They have good reviews from other people in the area, but their prices are really high compared to other quotes we got.

They are prompt, they do a good job, and they are very funny.

I think I mentioned it above, but we worked closely with the Monk's team from the start to finish. Their contacts and partners helped us create a turnkey solution. It was a major job, but they made it as seamless as possible. we have recommended Monk's before, without hesitation, and will continue to do so.

What a great experience! They were always on time, worked non stop and my house looks beautiful ! I will use them again and again!

Monk's repaired our damaged living room ceiling, stairway ceiling and walls, and another wall. For us, the damage was devastating. Our home looked like a frat house. Plaster falling on us, our furniture in storage; our lives were certainly impacted by the mess. Monk's had done excellent work for us over the past year (kitchen remodeling, installing a hardwood floor) so naturally they were our first choice for this job. Their concern for our situation showed this was not just another job for them, it was a commitment. Monk's was dedicated to getting us back our home and our sense of well being. Their professional approach went beyond the technical knowledge of their craft, it extended to their understanding of what a home means to a family. They were aware of our concerns about dust, our concern about possible mold behind the drywall, and our need to move about our home as needed, which was a bit difficult given they were working on the stairs. But they accommodated our needs and the end result is a feeling of being whole again. Our home is back thanks to Monk's.

In the end the job turned out fine, but I had to point out multiple paint drippings on the walls and many sloppy areas on the windows. They also left paint chips in the yard and I had to call them back to clean it up. I expected more from Monks given their feedback from other customers on Angie's list and they are at a higher price point. One of the owners called me afterwards to understand my complaints and he sounded dissatisfied with his crew as well.

Monks team helped us to design and choose molding to really spruce up my fireplace. We could not imagine how lovely it came out just by removing the plain vanilla woodwork and replace with some new molding. Monks team offered excellent advice and design ideas and pointed out the pros and cons of different designs. The job also involved renovating my bathroom. Monks did a lovely job and we could not be happier. They were always happy to accommodate changes and we had a few. Monks was very flexible and worked around my schedule. I would highly recommend Monks for bath renovations.

Travis and his team at Monks was very attentive to our requests. We were kept up to date on what was going to be performed when and the team at Monks were right on time like clockwork. The actual work (prepping, and painting) were done very neatly and there were no paint spatters. The team used a ton of drop cloths and were always covering the work area, as a result there were no stray paint drops. The Monks team was also very helpful when it came to explaining the finer points of paint colors as well as procuring samples and putting it up on the wall. The team was very patient with us through our decision making process. I would highly recommend Monks to anyone looking for home improvements, and I would certainly use them again in the future.

We had just had out adjacent kitchen remodeled and wanted to have the floors done in the family room while all there furniture was still out of the room. Monk's sent out George to provide and estimate right away and we were on the schedule for the following week. We were able to use our Angie's list Big Deal for Monk's which made the project very affordable. They were very careful to work by hand when sanding around the new kitchen cabinet bases. I was very pleased with George's professionalism and the level of communication at every point in the process. The two workers who completed the job were also great. We will definitely be calling on Monk's again when we are ready to do the wood floors in the rest of the house. I see their signs up around town in front of houses, so I always thought they must be good.... word of mouth. Now that I have seen them on Angie's list and had a great first hand experience with Monk's I will know where to turn for other house-maintenance needs.

Excellent, they did a fantastic job. They stuck to both the timeline and the cost without compromising quality.

This is our 4th time using Ty and Trevor Monk and their team. They have excellent crews and they are exceptionally timely, which is greatly appreciated as the home owner. They matched our paint to our exact request and did an outstanding job. They are meticulous about covering the floors and furniture and we will absolutely use them again. Our kitchen now has 4 wooden columns that we wanted stained to match an antique barn beam mantle and they did not feel that it was in their specialty, so they referred us to someone they know and have worked with in the past. She was also excellent and did a phenomenal job. I give Monk's a lot of credit for referring us to someone who is a specialist in the staining since it comes out of their profitability. They are clearly me interested in maintaining their reputation and their client's happiness with the result than every nickel they can gather. Additionally, we ended up giving Monk's the wrong paint name for the new bookshelves that they built. the colors were close, but not perfect - my wife caught it immediately (I didn't). Trevor came back to the house immediately upon our request and agreed that the color was slightly off. They figured out the correct paint and had their crew repaint the bookshelves the next day, which was appreciated since they were already heading to their next job. Both Monk's Painting and Monk's Carpentry are excellent and we highly recommend them.

Bathroom, kitchen, doorways, new deck and other renovations.

We hired Monks before the holidays to install our kitchen cabinets, a new hood over our stove, and our new kitchen appliances. They did a great job! Kurt showed up to give us an estimate and he had the crew here within a few days to complete the work. The guys were all very respectful and kept the work area very clean. We loved working with Esteban. He was thorough and able to communicate all details of the job from start to finish.They finished the job on time and on budget. Prices were very reasonable. We will be using them for all future projects for sure!

I was not present at the installation, but the results were fine. Sometimes it's hard to get someone to do a small job like this, but they were responsive, economical, and did a good job.

All workers were professional & very knowledgeable. What also impressed me was how well they worked together and how much each seemed to enjoy what he was doing. I originally met with one person to discuss what I wanted done. Then on the day the job started, he came with a team of which one person would be in charge for this particular job. I was introduced to each person with a handshake which I appreciated. If I had any changes or minor complaint, it was addressed and corrected with no problem. I have used Monk's many times during the last several months for various jobs, each time with a different team...all nice, all work well together, all completing what I asked. The overall manager of these different teams has always been totally accessible with prompt responses. As for pricing, I don't have much to base it on since I have mostly used friends or family members. Most prices seem to be fair, some seem a little high.
