Could not use.
Description of Work: Joe responded very quickly to our request for an estimate for multiple jobs that needed to be completed around our home. Very professional and nice man. Recd written quote very soon both by email and mail. Was willing to schedule us quickly as needed. We would have liked to use them, however his estimate was approx. twice the amount of 2 other handyman services we recd estimates from, for the same jobs and same time factor. We did go with another handyman who completed the jobs for much less, in a professional manner as well..

Vendor returned call as promised on voice mail and scheduled work to fit my timeline. Workers were polite, competent, and went above and beyond in customer service. We had 2 cats in residence and they were careful with doors to basement and outside to make sure they did not "escape." When work scope was more than expected, they had the tools and expertise to remedy all issues. Upon noticing unattached heat duct work, they reattached and taped while they were there doing the other work. Due to physical limitations, I could not get into the space and was pleased they could be my eyes and hands to get the job done right.
Description of Work: Removed debris from low crawl space and reinstalled insulation that had come down.

Called Joe on Monday 5/6/13 and left a voice message requesting an estimate to install a metal stair railing on my front porch. Finally received a return call on Friday 5/10/13. Because he was busy and could not get to this job for at least 4 weeks we went no further as I needed the job within 2 weeks.
Description of Work: Estimate requested for porch railing installation.
Showed Joe the design. We haggled price & matched any competitors price. During process he stayed on track. We let him have access to the house while on vacation. As we made changes, he always said yes.
Description of Work: Basement remodeling, walls, paint, heating installed, electrical, bar cabinets.

Joe is excellent... he was very quick and efficient. The installation was right the first time and the price was better than what the store wanted to charge. I will use him again, and would recommend him highly.

Joe was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. He sent one of his guys over to look at and perform some minor repairs at a rental for us. The repairs were all completed well and quickly. My tenants were also very pleased! I will definitely use them for any future repairs for my rentals. (Would use them in my own home, but we recently moved out of state!)
Description of Work: Replaced some spindles on front stairway and repaired a fixture in the kitchen.
Great service from the time of the estimate to the finished product. Delivered everything they promised.
Description of Work: Joe and his crew did work to my house after I got his information from the Home Show in Allentown, PA. They tore down the ceilings in my living room and dining room, removed all debris, replaced ceilings, spackled the ceilings and painted both rooms. While working they found some other things that needed to be looked at that we didn't know about and dealt with while the ceilings were removed. Through Joe I found a reliable plumber also! Very nice to work with, friendly and courteous. Totally cleaned up every day. Highly recommended!
