Mike was amazing. He was very professional and used a very safe technique to hang what otherwise could be dangerously heavy mirrors. Unbelievable how good he was!

We needed a last minute stucco repair/paint project in order to obtain an FHA mortgage commitment. Mike was very responsive. Offered to meet me at the house in couple of hours, provided an estimate and even came on Sunday with 2 helpers to get the job done because of our time constraint. The stucoo and paint work was superb. I would highly recommend Mike and will definitely use him again.

Mike did a great job overall! I called around to a number of handymen on Angie's List and, as it turns out, many of them were unable to do this work because they don't have a ladder that will reach the 2nd floor. Of the few handymen that could do the job, Mike had the perfect combo of best quote and flexibility to get the work done within a week of me calling him. I found him very friendly to speak with and he quickly understood what needed to be done and provide me a quote. He was booked pretty solidly with work, but agreed to do our shutter work in the evening one night, right after he completed another project. Basically, I called him on a Thursday and he agreed to do my work some time next week. On my part, I had to be a little flexible as he wouldn't know which day or exact time until Monday, which was fine by me. We talked again on Monday and he informed me that he would be there on Wednesday. We then exchanged texts on Wednesday to confirm and then he was there to do the work. As for the work itself, Mike did a great job removing and then installing our new shutters. The finished work looks great and we couldn't be happier. We would happily recommend Mike and will definitely call Mike again for future needs.
Description of Work: Remove old exterior decorative shutters and install new ones for 5 windows (1 window on the first floor and 4 windows on the second)
Mike and his team were very skilled and detail orientated. His attention to detail to ensure the work was done correctly and that it looked great was very much appreciated. The room was always covered and cleaned and he was careful to make sure all was protected. Mike was very knowledgeable, kind, and responsive to all our questions. It's also important to note that he was reliable and punctual as well. Our ceiling came out better than expected! Will definitely keep Mike's number in our back pocket for any future jobs.
Description of Work: Spackle, sand, and paint our living room ceiling that had been patched due an electrical repair. Also helped us attach bottom row of siding to house that had been damaged.

Their quote was too low that they didn't appreciate the nature of the work was. He was very nice but it just seemed low for the work we needed done. He was very responsive so he was good. We spoke to him and scheduled quickly. He came when he was supposed to and we got the estimate very quickly.

He was very knowledgable and very direct and clear. I thought he provided us with great advice, and he even said it was something we could handle ourselves. Based on my interaction with him, i feel that he is extremely trustworthy and i am looking forward to a project where i will be able to take advantage of his expertise and skills.
Description of Work: We had a problem with our bathroom ceiling and wall buckling and were unsure of the cause. I called him and he came that day, very late in the evening since he was on another job. I was very happy he could come so soon! He looked at our upstairs bathroom, then at the bathroom ceiling below where the problem was, and gave us great guidance on what the problem was (leaky seals on the faucet upstairs.

Like other members said, Mike is easy to talk to but lack of responsibility. He just disappeared right after he saw the house and promise to give us an estimate. We called him and left massages, but he never called back. When we were going to use another handyman, he called back and told us will give us an estimate soon, but again we've heard nothing from him since then.
Description of Work: We asked Mike to Paint the whole house and some works in basement, but he never called back.
Mike is experienced and easy to talk to but almost impossible to get a hold of. I first talked to him about basement and garage renovation. He was very detailed in figured out his approach, which I liked. Within a week, he provides us with a detailed estimate for the basement renovation. The estimate was very detailed itemization of material and labor. However, we never got the quote for garage. Since I wanted to walk with him, I follow up about once a week for about two months but eventually gave up. I was able to get him to build out a lattice under our deck (1/2 day work) and paid him little extra to get him to get back to me about the garage but didn't make a difference. Overall, if you can get him at your house to work, that's great because quality good and price is affordable...but the problem is getting him to your house. I spent about two months trying so I don't if it would work with most people's timeline.
Description of Work: Estimates for garage and basement renovation Build lattice under deck
Description of Work: Total finishing of basement. Mike's crew did the framing and finishing work. I did the electric and a plumber did the plumbing. Excellent work and I would use his service again.

He was very reasonably priced. He was very quick - he did the whole project in 1 day. He went out to purchase all the materials and cleaned up very well after the job. He was very accommodating. He was really good.

Do hire Mike. Will do again.
Description of Work: Mike (and Robert) did a fantastic job replacing old basement windows with new windows. They look and function Great! European punctuality. Cleaned up! Ran into unforeseen problems and took care of them w/o the usual moaning. And came in UNDER ORIGINAL QUOTE. Mike said he did not use as much material as he thought. After a local Contractor who demo-ed the house and took off with the down payments for 2 baths and a kitchen.. After a local electrician who milked the job to death. It was amazing to have an honest, punctual contractor who does great work. I'm an Angie's List believer.

Mike and his workers do solid work and he is easy to deal with. All the jobs he has completed for me were done with good workmanship and were fairly priced. The only negative is that Mike is extremely busy, so you have to be a bit patient, however, once he starts the job, he finishes it.
Description of Work: Mike has done several jobs for me, ranging from shelving in the garage to fixing a difficult bathroom leak by cleanly entering through the ceiling below. He is honest, does solid work and charges a fair price.
The quality of work was perfect in my opinion. He was on time and very friendly. He cleaned up after himself so it looked like he had never been there. I will use him again.
Description of Work: Mike came over and gave us some quotes. We checked out a few other handymen around the same time and found his prices to be very competitive. We had him come over and do a couple jobs so far. We had him move a ceiling light in the kitchen, and repair a door frame. We're going to have him redo a bathroom soon, and finish off our basement because we liked the quality of his work, and his rates.
He did a really good job. He came out yesterday. I liked that he was a thorough person and he knew what he was doing. When he was doing the work there was something that he was not sure and he found an answer. He found solutions to whatever problems he faced and he knew what he was doing. He was very professional and punctual. One other thing that I could say which is a little bit of a negative is that he didn't get back to me when he said he was going to get back to me to schedule and come over to do the job. I called him; he said he was available and asked if tomorrow was okay. That was the only thing which happened and I thought he had forgotten about me. Once I was talking to him and he got me the estimate. He came over on time; he looked everything over and explained everything that you needed to sketch on. He gave me the estimate and I told him that I wanted him to do the job. He was on time and did everything nicely. He did a very good work.
Description of Work: Mike's Handyman Service installed three long window boxes, two decorative cornice moldings, a mail box, a mail box post and two light fixtures outside.
Mike used to build homes in Ireland, he is very skilled in all aspects of handyman work and renovations. He stands by his estimates, and arrives in the time frame quoted. He's the only contractor that I would give the keys to my home. He calls to keep me abreast of his progress. He also comes prepared i.e., if he needs to go to the hardware store, he has done so before my job begins so as to not waste time on my job. His work is very accurate and precise. I highly recommend Mike without reservation, he will not disappoint. I will continue to use Mike for all my handyman work and have asked for a quote to install a bathroom as well.
Description of Work: Changed closet doors in multiple rooms, changed one exterior door and fixed another, painted radiators and part of a fence, determined the origin of a leak and repaired it, took down and tied up outside awnings, unclogged shower drain, repaired garbage shed, repaired kitchen drawer and bathroom medicine cabinet, painted kitchen wall, tarred roof.
