Mark came on time, looked over the word, and worked the entire time he was here. I probably could have done some of this stuff--I tried but had been unable to adjust the doors--but it would have taken me a month and a half because I'd find other things to distract me. With Mark's recent move to St. James, I was worried that he wouldn't work for me all the way out here in western Nassau. But Mark's good as his word--he'd promised he'd come as needed and he did. His work is as good as ever.
Description of Work: I had a list of stuff I didn't want to do, including mounting house number on stucco exterior, fixing annoying nail pops, adjusting passage doors so that actually closed--and locked if necessary, installing new water filiters.

Discussed a list of small items to do within the 4 hour time frame. Negotiated what could be done within the time frame. Provided pictures beforehand. Handyman came without ladder and drill even though work was discussed and pictures were provided. He went home for an hour and came back. He took lunch. Needless to say even the first item on the list was not completed. This is a rip off. Sadly, it is women who are in need of this service. This is taking advantage of our resources and intelligence. I am suspicious of these other positive reviews.

Response from Above & Beyond Carpentry Inc.
*SERVICE PROVIDERS BEWARE* Unfortunately there are times when we run into people who are difficult to deal with, this was one of those. From trying to schedule the work where she hung up several times to getting the correct address where the work was to be performed, to being verbally abusive to not just my employee and myself but to another service provider who was there to do plumbing work. Dave showed up at the job location listed on Angies List at the time and date scheduled and was informed by the people living there that the customer no longer lived there and they gave him another address. Dave drove from Laurelton to Valley Stream and when he arrived Dave called to inform me that she was not home and he waited an additional 20 minutes before leaving. I left numerous voice and text messages and it wasn’t until I texted her that she would be billed for a no show fee that she called to complain that my guy never showed up. I informed her of what transpired and she asked if he would come back. Dave did so, but I informed her that she wasted time by not informing us of the correct address and by not being home when she said she would. She started out nice and apologetic but then a switch went off and it’s like dealing with someone else. She then spent a half hour giving Dave an entire list of work most of which was not discussed including complaints by her insurance company which she needed rectified. When Dave finally got to work she called me to complain that my guy was there for an hour and nothing was done. I spoke with Dave who informed me that he was trying to get some work done but she went on going through an entire list of other work and then when he went to his car to get a power cord she locked him out and wouldn’t answer the door. When he finally hooked up his drill there were issues with the fascia of the building and he needed to get a hammer drill and a taller ladder. He went back to get the additional drill and ladder when I got my 3rd phone call stating he was dragging his feet and that he was wasting her time. I told her that the clock was stopped and that when he returned the clock would start back up again. When Dave returned she again didn’t answer the door for about 15 minutes and he could not retrieve his extension cord and move it so he could get back to work. By the time all was said and done more than five hours had gone by and Dave was only able to complete installation on 4 out of 12 shutters, removed and repaired 1 exterior light, repaired faulty wiring in another exterior electrical box, installed lattice work and relocated the mail box. After Dave left she called me for the 4th time to complain that Dave was incompetent and that he wasted her time. He did not install a curtain rod, the blinds, a wall mounted television or a shower rod. In an effort to rectify the situation I offered to give her an additional hour on a Saturday and install the television. But, again, that was not good enough for her. The night before (Friday 3/26/16) she started texting me to confirm that I was going to show up and I confirmed that I would be there between 11 and 1. She wanted me to give her a specific time which I could not because I had a previous engagement in the morning and she complained that 1pm was not going to work. Again, I informed her that I will be there within the scheduled time and that I will only install the television as previously agreed upon. She said her brother did that for her and that she wanted all the work not completed the day before to be done and that I did not offer her 1 hour but that I offered 2 hours of additional service. When I reiterated that it was 1 hour she went off on how I was not an honest man, my employee was dishonest, that I wasn’t being truthful, that I’m taking advantage of women and that I was running a scam. I’m sorry, but at this point I cancelled the makeup call, there is only a certain amount of nonsense I will subject myself to and it became quite clear that no matter what I would do would not appease this woman. As anyone can see by my reviews I stand behind the work we do and my men. We are honest hard working people and that it is unfortunate that every once in a while we run into a person of this nature. It is our policy that the customer give us a complete list of things they want done in order of importance and we work very hard to complete that task. This woman has from the start sabotaged the work and made it an extremely toxic work environment and then placed the blame on everyone else except herself.

They did the work in 2 days. Prior to starting, they would text me pictures of supplies that they plan on using. Mike was a sweetheart. He explained the process and provided me with ideas for the closet. This was the first major construction I've done in my house. I would definitely use them again.

He answered phone call on a Sunday and I sent pictures of what needed to be done. He called me back and informed me that the job could be completed in about 2 hours. I used a coupon for 2 hours of work for $150 and scheduled it for that Thursday. He applied three coats of spackle followed by one coat of paint primer. He was clean and neat and the spackle job was smooth and fantastic. No sanding needed, he used a wet sponge. I would hire again. He was a perfectionist and I could not have asked for a better job. Whatever little mess there was he cleaned up. Very pleased!
Description of Work: Needed spackle work on 17 ft cathedral ceilings after electrician installed 2 ceiling fans using a "boxed platform" so that it could be mounted flushed as opposed to on an angle. I also needed two holes patched that were the result of hi hats that were placed in the wrong spot.

All went well. While I wasn't home (left 2 sons in charge) all seemed to go smoothly. Repairing stair to cellar was a big job, as they were falling apart. Got a few phone calls with questions, so that was nice that the checked in with me. My sons said they were very professional, explaining each step. Stairs feel sturdier than when they were 1st installed. Wonderful to have a microwave again. Meet with them shortly after purchasing service and they came to look over job beforehand so they knew what they were in for. Service was provided sooner than expected. so was happy about that. I really have no complaints and expect to have them back to work on more projects. Very happy that all went smoothly.

Response from Above & Beyond Carpentry Inc.
On 1/7/16, Mike performed several small jobs at customers residence including plaster repair in the basement bathroom. Customer was made aware that the sheetrock was porous and that the sheetrock needed to be replaced but the customer insisted that it just be plastered. During a follow-up no charge service on 1/13/16 I redid the plaster in the bathroom as per the customers request. I was able to show the customer that the sheetrock swelled and bubbled after the compound was placed. Further examination of the opposite side of the wall (boiler room) showed extensive mold on the back part of all the walls as well as the wood studs. At this point I advised that he hire a mold remediation specialist and informed him that after they do their job that we can come back and install new sheetrock. The customer requested that I write up an estimate but that I should increase my estimate by the cost of his copayment, which, according to his wife was about $1500. I informed him that I would not do that because it was unethical and that despite any number I quoted the insurance company would estimate the repairs according to their own standards. I told the customer that I would come back after the mold remediation company did their work and that I can then give them an estimate to do the work. Since that visit the customer did not call or email me for a follow-up so I figured this matter closed. On 2/9/16 I was contacted by Angies List customer service who informed me that the customer was trying to reach me and that they wanted me to write up an estimate. I informed Angies list of what transpired and that I would call the customer. Angies list told me that they will also follow up with the customer. I spoke with the customer who stated that they mistook my company for a company in Ohio and he did not indicate that he rectified the mold issue nor that he wanted me to write up an estimate. Unfortunately there are times we come across someone who feels that we could do things that we shouldn't do. I like telling people that we are technicians and not magicians as well as letting people know we have our limitations.

Response from Above & Beyond Carpentry Inc.
The customer purchased a 2 hour handyman service in order to repair a door in his tenants apartment. As with all my customers, we discuss several repair options, including replacing the interior door. After discussing the additional costs of replacing the door verses repairing the interior door it was the customer who chose to repair the door and go the cheaper route. Mike relocated the hinges and left the door in a workable condition. The customer was informed that eventually the door might need to be replaced. After I saw the customers review I have called him several times and the customer has not returned any of my calls or emails. I find it strange that the customer thinks we would not want to do more work. If someone feels that the work is not done properly or to their liking or even if they want to give us additional work, then I insist that the customer reach out to me. I would be more than happy to rectify the matter but that can only happen if the customer communicates with us.

According to my records Above & Beyond Carpentry does not have this member as a customer. I believe she used a different service provider. I made a few calls to this member, (google search provided a number) and she has not responded to any of my messages. If this member was serviced under a different name or address, then we would be more than happy to fix anything she might of found deficient with our service but we also did not do an 8 hour service on the date she provided in the review. AABC stands behind all the work we do so if there is any issue, regardless of how small it is, we do our best in making sure you, the customer are satisfied!
It went great. No complaints. He obviously knows what he's doing and went about all his tasks in a straightforward and confident manner. No problems at all.
Description of Work: Mark installed a microwave oven. To do so, the old oven had to be removed, and a portion of the kitchen backsplash had to be removed. He also changed a ceiling fixture, fixed a light switch, and did some other small jobs while he was here, since the microwave installation was pretty quick and I was paying for two hours of his time.

I had some plumbing work done last month and there were a couple holes where they replaced the shower pipes in the wall. I wasn't sure how to repair the tile so I got the $250 4hr Handyman deal from Above & Beyond Carpentry. I called and spoke to Mark Wirth and he said they could do the work in the 4hr period. He told me what they needed me to buy before they got there (you supply materials and they supply tools) and we made an appointment. However, 2 days before he was supposed to show up I had to call to reschedule (I couldn't find matching tile). I found the tile a couple days later and called Mark back. He said his coworker Mike would be doing the work and he would have Mike call me to make an appointment to come do the work. Mike called a day later to make sure I had all the required material and we made an appointment. Mike called a couple times that morning before he came to remind me what time he would be there and to let me know he was pulling up in front of the house. I showed him what I needed done and brought the material to the front of the house. He went to work and did an excellent job. He was in and out of the house a number of times, but he to cut tile and obviously didn't want to do it in the house. He finished the work in just under 3 hours, cleaned up and was done (I wish I had anticipated he would finish with so much time to spare, I could have had a couple other things done). He said it would take a couple days to set and would be available to use. He didn't use much of the grout I bought so I had to pay $25 for materials, but when it dried it looked terrific (the premixed grout I bought dries gray and the grout in the bathroom is white so he used what he had on the truck). My overall impression of Mark and Mike is that they are friendly, professional and know what they were doing. I will definitely be using them again.

Mark came on time for an estimate for the job and was pleasant and professional. I understood that his partner Mike would do the work to fit my schedule, and he did an excelled job. It was a pleasure to work with people who took their work seriously, appreciated the look I was going after, and with whom I could express my needs and concerns since the 100+ year old room had many quirks and flaws that had to be dealt with.

Mark realized he was running late so he called to give me a heads-up and an approximate ETA. He arrived sooner than expected and immediately set up and began to get to work on his list of projects. He had everything he needed to complete all his work which was done with competence and expediency. This is the second time I have availed myself of Mark's services and I am extremely satisfied with the results. You'll enjoy working with him.
