The 2 guys moved super swiftly and took great care in making sure they did the job properly. I was thoroughly impressed and even found myself saying out loud to them "you are so fast!".
Description of Work: They sent 2 guys who provided an hour and half of handyman services including - hanging artwork, fixing a crib that was assembled wrong, removing a trash can holder in a cabinet, and hanging a baby mobile.

It was fine. It’s two very young men. They were very nice. The cost wasn’t too expensive. They were fine. It was within reason. It took them two hours to get the job done. I would tell a friend that it was fine. I felt very comfortable. They were reliable and I like them very much. It wasn’t a big job. The quality was very good. I expect that they were a little bit late. They said they were going to come. They were an hour late and they got tied up. It’s always getting to me on time was a little bit difficult. They tried very hard.
Description of Work: I’ve used Progress for small jobs. They only did some small jobs for me. They did a little bit of painting underneath my porch and changed some light bulb. They installed a light for half of my porch. It was a handyman job.

The brought an extra person out to do the work and ended up charging an extra $300.00 at the end of the job. The price was outrageous and they should have clarified more before they started.

Deal purchased for 180-3 hour handyman service.Before we start do the work we explained to you 3-times if its two people on side it's gonna be just 1hour and 30 minutes labor.You was agree with that if we stay longer and finish this job.Avery deal explained if we need to do some work customer needs to provide own material which you don't have it.Roman spend 1 hour drive just to get 8 tiles from Home Depot to match your floor.Then we have to sillled at 3 bedroom apartment all baseboards between floor and wall with caulk which you not provide as well and we have to run again to hardware and buy it for you.We spend extra time and charge you extra just because you have to complete this as soon as possible.

They deserve the accolades, they did a good job with aplomb and certainly they would be hired in the future.
Description of Work: Roman and Co. hung a collapsible door, as well as a couple of hooks and a couple of curtain rods. Roman even fixed a door lock he saw was janky without solicitation. This is the definition of a good handy man, he sees a problem and he addresses it.

Ivan came out at my request to inspect what needed to be done, he was prompt, polite and kept the meeting short. Our windows were recently replaced and my walls were cut back to allow space for their installation leaving floor to ceiling gaps in the drywall between the exterior and interior walls. I thought it was going to be a nightmare but Ivan worked out a very nice solution to my problem and made the whole process painless. The work was done in one day and extremely well done, he covered all my furniture and floor, picked up the necessary materials and tools, made the fixes, painted to match my walls and cleaned up in one day. I also had him patch my ceiling and bathroom which had water damage from an old leak. Again the work was excellent and done in one day! I would gladly use Progress again!

We were a bit hesitant to use Progress on a larger scale job as most of their reviews did not seem to include a scope as large as ours. However, after dealing with "not so great" contractors renovating our bathrooms, we preferred to take a chance with a highly rated company rather than someone recommended by salespeople (which is how we ended up with our "not so great" bathroom contractor). It was really the best decision we've made in this entire renovation project. As a matter of fact, we have no interest in looking for anyone else to do any sort of work in our home. Ivan, Roman and their crew are professional, courteous and responsive. They took on a rather large project at very fast schedule without compromising quality. They not only did what was asked, they consistently made suggestions that improved on the work. We had them do work in all sorts of trades (plumbing, concrete, floors, painting, walls - they even changed the entry door and locks and everything was done expertly. We really appreciated the fact that they cleaned up after themselves and took care of the large amounts of garbage without us having to ask - their end was just as good as the start. They do not quote a price and then quibble and try to add on extra charges. Their price was firm and included everything required to do the job. They were there when they were supposed to be, there were no false promises, they didn't tell me what we wanted to hear even though the opposite was true. We didn't experience 'sudden/unexplained "delays" of schedule. In short, they are the dream contractor. Use them - you won't regret it.
Description of Work: Complete Renovation. Drywall replacing and fixing, Hardwood Floor Refinishing, Plumbing / Concrete (Installed Sump Pump and food disposal), Painting of 2,500 sf house, lighting. I wish I found them before so they could also have done the bathrooms!

They initially had to reschedule due to anticipated snowstorm-they were very accommodating with our date requests. They scheduled us for 8-9 AM, at 8 AM they called to say they were on the way and arrived by 8:15AM. We purchased a deal-8 hours for fixed price plus cost of materials, we opted for them bringing the materials. We got 2 guys, 4 hours each. We had 3 projects for them but after assessing the first, they said that it couldn't be completed in the timeframe, but they could complete the 2 other projects. They were actually here for 5 hours and did not charge us for the extra time. The price of materials was very reasonable-much less than if we had bought it all new ourselves. They were neat, cleaned up completely after themselves and the ceilings look great. They also provided us with useful advice on next steps. We will definitely use them again.

Ivan came for both the preliminary estimation and the actual work promptly on time. He was very accurate and professional with his estimation. he was very nice, clear with everything he is about to do to fix the damage. When he was done he left the surrounding shiny and with a new and beautiful ceiling. We highly recommend him!

They did spotty work overall. They completely failed to plaster under a wall installed air conditioning unit. They came down on the wall and stopped right at the baseboard without going underneath the unit. What they left was a huge blob of plaster that I had to chisel off so I could finish the work. We had purchased the "deal" along with another one for $99.00 so it could be used for the bathroom. If we hadn't already paid for this I wouldn't have had them out to do the bedroom since the work on bathroom was also below par.

Thank you again for your review.We did the restroom for you before and you decide to buy another deal from our company. 1-in your bedroom all walls has wallpaper.And we explained to you to do a proper job we need to remove or even install new sheetrock to make it flat.This job will take us around 6-7 days to finish. 2-you ask us to spackle whole room(skim coat)and cover some cracks on the wall with the mesh tape,and provide to us just 1/4 of compound. 3-you did some improper plaster work before we come.This take us much longer to scrape it and plastered everything what ever you did before. 4-we explained to you that this job not possible to do it for two hours with 1/4 of compound and we will need at list 15 gallons of compound to spackle your whole room.And again the price should be different because we will spend more days on this job.We explained to you what ever we spackle it need to dry at list from 8 to12 hours,and you told us than you understand and will sanding youself. About your bubbles we told you if we apply compound on the wall it will give you bubbles. Sorry for inconvenience again but if you decide to buy any deal from our company just call us before and we can provide free estimate and how long it will take to do your project.

They did the areas where the worst damage had been done by a leak from our upstairs neighbors. Unfortunately they paid no attention to other areas that required work done even though it had been pointed out to them before the work started. What they did do was sloppy and unfinished. They didn't get around the medicine cabinet or the door where it was need.

Thank you for writing review about company and how job was completed at your bathroom. 1-before we start to do anything in you apartment,we explained to you how it will looks in the and,if we need to spend just two hours job. 2-we told you to finish spackling walls and ceiling and sanded everything,it will take around two days.You was agree with that and you said that you will finish everything after we done with 2 hour deal. 3-your building was build in 1952.Old plaster on the walls and ceiling have alot of cracks.Again you said that you need to fix just the major leaks and some cracks.That what we did for you.And you was satisfy with the job what ever we did for you for that time. 4-you decide to buy another deal again to do your room even with higher price of over deal.

Ivan and Roman were very professional in their approach to the work and adapted to additional jobs which I added as they were working. They came and inspected the job site the next day following my call and gave me a decent estimate and explained exactly what they needed to do to accomplish what I was requesting. I was very pleased with their work on my bathroom and kitchen so I added the flooring of the kitchen, dining room and living room to their work load. They helped in selecting the proper materials at a good price from the job, and completed the new work without any delays, adapting their schedule to meet my needs. I am very happy with their work, and a few minor exceptions I found were quickly corrected to my satisfaction. I intend to use them again next year for further renovations.

Excellent job. I hired Progress for two other projects in the past, and after they did such great work, I hired them for the floors. My floors were damaged from both age and wear and tear. Previous padding under very old carpeting from the previous owner of my house damaged the floor, almost completely removing the finish in places. Also, there were gaps between the boards in many places. Progress repaired parts of the floor where there was work done in the past (it appeared like the floors had been hacked apart to do work underneath). They replaced multiple pieces, then fixed the gaps. They also sanded the entire first and second floors (the whole house) and refinished with oil-based finish. The floors look beautiful. The repairs are almost impossible to see, even though the original floors were 70 years old. It would be difficult to get a perfect match but they came close enough that it is hard to tell. They repaired the baseboards and repainted as needed. They were efficient, and left the house very clean when they left, which is impressive, considering how much dust the sanding can produce. Excellent work, will be hiring them for my next project.
