Very well. He did the cleaning in early June, then waited for a break in the weather (needed several dry days in a row) to do the staining. He masked the metal ballisters, carefully tied back the plantings, and drop-clothed the deck surface in the work area.
Description of Work: Cleaned deck railing system with strong detergent. Applied oil-based stain.

Excellent. Will continue to call Steve for jobs I am unable to do.
Description of Work: Called Steve on a Sunday. Came by in about an hour and fixed my furnace which would not ignite. 2nd or 3rd time I have used him. I was not an emergency but he made the time to do the job. A real gentleman, prompt, courteous, and does a good job at a very fair price. This is the 2nd time he has gone out of his way to take care of a small matter for me. Larry

Steve was very pleasant through the entire process of hiring a handyman. I scheduled an estimate a week before the actual date of service and was pleased with Steve's work ethic and his friendly personality. I am very pleased with my ability to hang clothing in my closet without the fear of another mishap with aluminum rods bending and breaking. The most important thing with the service I received is the installment of weather stripping that provided me with comfort and money saving heating cost and the many ideas that I received during Steve's visit to improve my home maintenance.

He was busy and it took awhile to get the get job started, but once he did start he was done super fast. Steve is indeed knowledgeable and did the job to our satisfaction. It was an added bonus that he was able to match the exact color of Another existing door. He also had to work with limited information as we were off site.

Steve was prompt, looked at the needs, and described solutions and estimated costs. I have had him do other similar jobs, with the same prompt and good natured response. He even called me back one evening to say that If he could come at 8:30 the following morning, he would fix my garage door opener so that I could get my car out. He is willing to work on an old house (1874) and find ways to fix things that one doesn't find in newer homes.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced front steps, removed and replaced screening on porch, replaced lattice on north side of house and by back gate, repaired lattice on porch.

Worked with me over the phone to save me the cost of an initial (otherwise very expensive) trip. I gave make and model information on voicemail and he called back to clarify and troubleshoot even late at night ! Steve showed up early before I went to work, finished ahead of schedule and gave me the best price on all of Angie's list. I will call him to help me with my furnace this fall. Thanks Steve - you're the best !!!

We have had the pleasure of calling STEVE MALINOSKI for SEVERAL jobs that have we needed done on a rental property of ours and in our home as well. He is WONDERFUL! He always on time, and consistently arrives to work with his positive, can do attitude. He is tenacious, and a REAL problem solver. He utilizes creative approaches to unusual problems. No job is ever too hard, or unusual. He is so honest about how to deal with the job, explains the solution in detail, and his rates are absolutely fair. I never hesitate to call him, he helps in emergencies. I have dealt with several 'handymen' even some referred by real estate agents from around the country & others on Angie's List, Steve is by far THE best, most honest, and most pleasant gentleman I have ever hired! He has cleaned and repaired an old furnace, water pipe clogs, installed plumbing, removed old appliances, put up drywall, capped off gas lines, fixed floors, trimmed doors, fixed access walls to tubs, installed hand rails, rebuilt exterior water faucets, installed new exterior lighting, repaired the garbage disposal, installed cabinets, installed sinks, even removed rebar that were sticking up from our garden! He always cleans whatever mess is caused by the work needed to be done. A great guy!

ceiling fans

From start to finish, I was very impressed with Steve. Not only did he respond promptly to my phone call, he showed up to do the work within 1 week, fixed the fans beyond my expectation, and the bill was $25 less than the estimate he originally gave me, even though he was at my house for several hours. My kids were amazed when they turned on their fans that night -- they couldn't believe how quiet they were after living with noisy fans for several years. I have already recommended Steve to my husband who needs some work done at his office, and I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs work done on a ceiling fan.
Description of Work: I have 5 ceiling fans in my house that wobbled and made noise when they were running and I wasn't sure if they could be fixed or had to be replaced. Steve responded the same day I called him, gave me an estimate 2 days later, and showed up 5 days later to fix the fans -- I'm not used to such prompt service! Steve was able to fix every fan and got them working like new again even though they're all 18 years old!
Fine work for a good price. Very knowledgeable about many different things. Knew exactly what to do and how to do it. Nice man, didn't swear, but high strung. Would rehire and recommend to other Angie's List members.
Description of Work: Repaired fridge, parts of bathroom, sliding doors, over the range microwave, and shower. Fixed the dispose - all in a simple manner.
