Rick was punctual. He came with Lou and they set up scaffold across the entire front of my house. They took down all the old gutters and rotten wood beneath, measured and went to purchase lumber and got my house in tip top shape. I am so pleased every time I look up above the garage now. The work performed was above average. I will definitly use him again. Rick is top notch and I recommend him highly!
Description of Work: Gutter above left garage door was hanging. Plywood beneath was all rotted from rain storms and birds were flying in and out of the space. I was worried it would fall on my truck parked in driveway so decided to call. Rick called me back same day and told me he would come see the problem and give me a quote. My husband who is in construction had questions and asked Rick call him to ask specific questions. Rick called him and answered all his Q's. Rick is very professional and curteous but above all, his work is outstanding.

These guys (Rick, Lou and Kenny) are great! I called for an estimate and Rick (owner) came pretty quickly. He gave me a rough verbal estimate and said he'd write something up. It took a few days to get the estimate, but it was reasonable and I had used Rick before for a small job, so I knew he was 1)good and 2)reliable. He gave me recommendations on where to shop for tile, faucets, cabinets, etc. He and his men showed up when they said they would each day. They were industrious, friendly, and considerate of the fact that we had pets. Rick patiently answered any questions I had and offered advice when I had to make a decision about something and was unsure what to do. The job went pretty smoothly, but when something came up, Rick always gave me different options (less expensive vs. more expensive) to choose from. A list of things they did: gutted the old bathroom put up new sheetrock put in a new tub put in a niche in the "side" wall of the shower put in tile in the tub wall (including the niche - not an easy task) and on the floor put in molding along the edge of the floor put in new windows put in new faucets and showerhead in the tub, sink and shower put in a new sink/vanity, toilet, medicine cabinet, wall cabinet (over the toilet) put in new light fixtures put in wall electrical sockets painted put up a safety bar and shower curtain in tub, and towel racks and toilet paper holder in room And they did everything GREAT! I LOVE my bathrooms!!
Description of Work: They totally gutted and re-did our full bath, including replacing a 55-year-old window, and adding an outlet. They also removed wallpaper and painted our half bath, including replacing the window there, also. In the full bathroom they put tile on the floor and on the walls around the shower which looks FANTASTIC! I'll try to upload a picture of it, but if I can't I want to say that the tiling job is just wonderful!

Rick Born and Lou worked on the project over a two day period. Day one they removed linoleum floor, removed the toilet, put in a sub floor and laid out the tile on the floor. The second day the tile grout was placed between the tiles and the toilet placed back in place. They came on time both days and were professional. We were very pleased with the results and will use Rick and Lou for other house improvement projects going forward.

I called to arrange getting an estimate, and left a message on his cell phone. He called back within 2 hours and we set something up for that day. He came promptly, gave me an estimate, and said he could come that week, so we set up a time. He came, he carpentered, he left! He did a terrific job, and treated this small job with as much respect as if it were a $5,000 job. I really appreciated that. I will use him for all my carpenter needs in the future!
Description of Work: I was having a wall oven installed and needed to have the opening in my wall made bigger to fit the new oven. This resulted in my losing a drawer under the oven, so he had to cover the hole the old drawer made. I also asked him to dreate a new drawer in another spot.

The bathroom was completely gutted and rebuilt with a tiled bath and partially tiled walls. The baseboard molding was neatly installed and level. The attic ladder was also solidly installed. All quality materials were used and close attention to details were paid. When I'm ready I'll have him do my kitchen. Hire his guy!

Never received an estimate (after 10 days) *Update: after reading the company response, I feel that I must comment. Yes, it was a mistake to click on the kitchen and bathroom remodel pulldown(I meant to click on Handymen) - that was my error. However, I NEVER received a hourly rate and I gave Rick a typed list with my email address on top. He was suppose to send an estimate to my email address - which I never received. Maybe this was a case of miscommunication. all I can say is that I never received either a verbal or written work estimate.
Description of Work: came out to look at work that I wanted done

Response from Rick's Total Home Improvements
While I don't want to debate a review. I do feel this review is quite harsh based on the actual work requested. I actually still have the typed punch list from the homeowner for the various work which included- repairing a rotten window frame on the back porch, seal some cracks in the drywall, caulk outside of windows, fix a cement floor, replace a screen, install new blinds, remove some paneling, move a light switch, remove backsplash wallpaper and tile, repair the wall, patch holes inside and outside of home, hang drywall and trim, partial removal of wall between kitchen and dining room. Mold problem, grading problem. This is not a kitchen and bathroom remodel. Prior to my leaving the property I gave the homeowner an hourly rate to complete this work. I was not contacted after this meeting. I work hard to do the best job I can for everyone of my clients/homeowners. Most of my work is word of mouth. I don't want what I believe to be a misunderstanding to hurt my reputation. Please see my other reviews -all positive. Thank you for you time.

Rick is very knowledgable and responsive.
Description of Work: For our kitchen remodeling and some other small work at my new home we got estimates from Rick, he was very punctual and gave the estimates for the time he agreed. unfortunately we couldn't use Rick's Services in future. We had to go with the kitchen cabinets guy for the installation also. But Rick was very knowledgeable and responsive
Highly recommended! Professional, reliable, always met timeframe given. Our home looks amazing showroom quality! Friends and family have asked for his number! I love how meticulous and clean from start to finish the workmanship shows. Priced appropriately for each job completed. Again highly recommended!
Description of Work: Hire him!!! Professional courteous and reliable Rick and his team renovated our home after super storm Sandy hit it. The work included installation of insulation, drywall, doors, moldings, ceramic tile, wood flooring, kitchen cabinets and backsplash. It looks incredible! Rick and his team paid close attention to details and listened to our wants and needs.

Perfect only problem was the weather either rain or tropical but he always called or stopped by to check the site for wetness.
Description of Work: I had a backyard that was so uneven and had so much run off from road a neighbors deck (done improperly)felt I would never be able to use yard. Rick came up with a perfect design that not only beautiful but got rid of runoff so I have a deck that I can entertain on and enjoy for years... Personable professional on time (worked in 95+ degrees) I would recommend him to anybody that wants a job done well and professionally
