Expert Home Repair

Steve showed up to our house on time. He performed all of the work at a very high quality and in about 10 hours. His conversation was courteous.

Excellent. Steve returned my original call, checked his schedule and set up an appointment. He was punctual and professional. Did a fantastic job. We will be calling him whenever we have another need arise.

It didn't take that long to correct the sloppy work previously done. Wish we had found Steve in the first place.

Excellent. Steve looked it over and quickly assessed was needed to be done. He displayed a good understanding of the problem and how to repair it. He seemed to have had a lot of experience with this problem. Within a day or two I received an estimate by email which seemed reasonable. He was able to to the job within a week or so after my ok. He showed up on time and completed the entire job by himself within 4 hours (having made up the posts before arriving). He was well equipped and very efficient in this work. He was also a very pleasant person to work with. The final result was very satisfying and he did a good cleanup.

Steve did a great job. He came out and gave me an estimate. The basement door had been damaged and torn away from it's hinges due to a retaining wall that had collapsed at the back steps. The area all around the door had to be built back up as well, because of the wall collapse and as a result of some some water damage. Steve came out on the day and time that he has scheduled with me, installed a new door,deadbolt lock and built up the area all around the door head and jambs. He was very professional and cleaned everything up when he was finished. I would highly recommend him.

It went okay. I tested the outlets before he left and 2 of the 4 didn't work. He had to correct them. He was very pleasant about it. I will probably use him for small jobs again.

Steve did excellent work with all the jobs. It took him 2-1/2 hours at $60 an hour and it was the best $150 I've ever spent!! He talked me out of a job which would have taken him another hour as he said what I wanted wouldn't work. I'm very grateful for not spending more on something that wouldn't last. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others.

They were very high quality windows for the price and they were very proffesional when they installed them. Cleaned up after them selfs and we plan to use them again

Steve has done several minor and major repair jobs for me over the past few years. He always does a good job at a reasonable price and is very reliable.

We had to wait a little over a month for him to fit us into his schedule. We weren't in a hurry, so it was definitely worth it. He was prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable. We were surprised he got everything done in less than a day. It would have taken us weeks to do it ourself and would have looked like crap. If we would have known Steve years ago, he could have saved us hours of frustration, fights and half-assed projects! We highly recommend him.

Steve has been a terrific find. We have been so happy with the work that he performed on this most recent visit and other work that he did at our house about a month ago. He is very knowledgeable regarding home repair and no task is too much for him. His prices are reasonable, work is excellent and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Went really well. It was so hard finding someone who could do a small job in time before there is damage from rain. I called him and he was able to fit me in between his bigger contracts. I was so glad, he came in and replaced the siding piece. Service could not be better!

For the most recent work: Handrails look good and are very solid; sink and microwave installation went rapidly and are working fine. The microwave is solid despite having to be installed through drywall into an old chimney. On a much larger job, about 12 years ago: He did an awesome job replacing a large uneven 30X11 ceiling with handsome drywall. This required careful shimming of the uneven joists. He completely installed a new kitchen, with everything high quality, and took it in stride when I wanted to move an inside doorway over a foot. He also did a great job on a new bathroom, which required taking out a non-load-bearing wall. He also installed tile on walls and floor of the new bathroom, which came out very well. The tiling required some diagonal cuts and blending into existing walls. He starts when he says he will and finishes on schedule. He knows other vendors who can supply other services such as pouring cement and custom cabinetry. Friendly, courteous, and honest.

It went very well and I felt like it was worth the money to know what I was dealing with.

Steve walked us through what wood to purchase and where to get it from to get the best price (Paul Lumber in Bloomfield in case anyone is interested - they are a great outfit!). We purchased the wood and he asked us to have it primed for him when he started on Monday, which we did for the most part. He started at 8am on Monday and was done in two days - one day for the demolition and one day for the install of the new deck. Then we went back and primed the sawed-off parts and painted the new deck and skirt boards that he installed. As far as we're concerned the job couldn't have gone better - Steve was professional, punctual, and his work was amazing. He allowed us to do the parts of it that we were comfortable with, and gave us tips on getting the best wood and what kind of primer/paint to get to maximize the life of the porch. There were a couple of times that it took him a little while to call us back, but it did not hinder the project in any way. We would definitely recommend this contractor to anyone and will use him again in the future.

I contacted Steve via phone from Expert Home Repair asking if he had any experience putting together & installing kitchen cabinets, a butcherblock countertop and sink. I purchased everything myself from Ikea accept the sink which came from Lowe's. He told me he has done plenty of work like this so I asked him to stop by and give me an estimate. He came to my home a couple of days later right on time. Looked at the work and sad he could handle this job himself. We agreed on a start date and again he was right on time to start. I had all the parts laid out for him in my living room. All appliances were removed by me so the kitchen was an empty room. Steve put together the sink cabinet with the butcherblock and installed in the wall. My wall was uneven so to make the cabinet fit he had to scrape down some of the wall but left a hole which he did not repair but installed the cabinet/butcherblock anyway. I can see the hole at he edge of the butcherblock. He never mentioned this to me. He also damaged the butcherblock during installation and filled this tiny hole with putty. He never mentioned this to me either. When he finished after the first day, I noticed he damaged my kitchen wood floor which I just re-did prior to his arrival. When he came back the next day (right on time), I mentioned this to him and he said he would fix it. I told him not to and that I would. At this point, I lost all confidence in him. The second day he was in a rush the whole time he was here and annoyed while he was putting the rest of the cabinets together. He ended up damaging one side of a free-standing cabinet by chipping it. He did mention this error to me and went to Ikea for a replacement part. He was unable to get it as this part was not available. He decided to fix this by covering it up with a piece of plywood and covering with polyurethane (which does not look very good). He should have ask me if I would be ok to fix it this way, after all this is a new piece of furniture. Steve really needed 3 or 4 days in my opinion to finish this job correctly. He came on a Thursday and finished Friday. He mentioned to me he had to finish as he had a new job that he had to start the following Monday. I noticed Steve has all good reviews on Angie's List but not sure why he perfomed and acted like this to me.

The process went very well. Steve is very professional. The only drawback is sometimes he gets busy but he does his best to fit things into his schedule.

He did an excellent job, was fast yet meticulous, and was extremely competent and reliable. I thought his hourly price for this type of small job to be very reasonable and I feel that I got an excellent deal for the work that was done. I definitely recommend this Company.

I do think his pricing is a little expensive, but it’s worth it because he’s reliable and competent.

Steve is a pleasure to work with. He promptly returns calls and shows up when promised. He built two gates for our deck in only a few hours. We are very pleased with the quality of the work, and already have him lined up for more projects. He is pleasant to deal with - and he puts up with our very exuberant puppy, which is a plus.

The technician was patient, tested the system, and observed it for some time to insure that the leak was stopped.

Steve arrived right on time and did everything I asked. He was quick and did an excellent job (he was out of there in less than 2 hours). I always was looking for a great handyman and now I found one! No need to call separate experts who charge a fee just to walk in your door - Steve does it all (electrical, plaster, plumbing). And, he charged me less than what his estimate was. Very happy!

He was pretty good. He came prepared and he put drop cloths down in order to keep everything clean.

Expert Home Improvement is a flexible company and we got to know about them through where my wife works. They have a lot of contractors and they introduced us to the guy that owned the company. We got a great deal compared to the other bids that we got. The quality of their work was great and their professionalism was very good. They were responsive, as they answered all the questions and also called me back when needed. They were punctual, as they were here everyday when I left for work. I would use their services in the future too.

Mr Mannerburg is very punctual and accurate, he has a lot of experience and gives good advice. He replied prmptly to my estimate request, toured the property, got back to me with a detailed estimate in 2 days. I choose him among 3 others and I was very pleased with the way he has worked. He did a very good job and he was able to accurately foresee the job timeline.
