Description of Work: Steve completed a number of projects - repaired a celiling that had some water stains, painted two bedrooms, re-grouted my bathtub, fixed a closet door, and hung up a mantle and stained glass window. He came over promptly to see all the work and to provide an estimate. He was easy to get in touch with and easy to work with. He also did some research for me to figure out how to put on some barn doors on my closets. I would definitely hire Steve again for additional projects.

Description of Work: Steve performed our PHA required repairs quickly and efficiently. The initial list included tile repair, handrail installation, and inside and outside roofing repairs. While the PHA list was vague, he worked with our tenant to get everything taken care of and went out of his way to make himself available for us when PHA came back and said something ELSE wasn't done (which wasn't on their initial list!). We also had Steve look at another property in need of some TLC and he responded quickly, resolving that issue as well. | |We will certainly contact Steve for additional work, as needed, and we recommend him for anyone needing handyman services.

Description of Work: Steve rebuilt a large floor to ceiling screen in a wooden frame with custom details. It was one of the walls on my screen porch. It had to match the other screen walls, which it did. I was pleased with the good quality of his work and would use him again. This project required special care, and Steve took it. |This is the first time I have used Angie's List, and I will use it again.

It went pretty well. He encountered some problems because the last one wasn't installed correctly. I guess my only complaint was that we prefaced our appeal to him by saying that it appeared to have been installed improperly before and he gave us an estimate based on him having no problems, then acted all surprised when he got in there and found that it was previously botched. We already knew that it was going to be a problem. He may have just been distracted and didn't hear this part when we described the job. He added some additional charge for the additional work and it was reasonable for the amount of work done. He did show up right away and threw in some additional little jobs as a bonus. Overall thumbs up and well recommended.

Steve was great. He responded to my initial query quickly, and came soon after to provide an estimate. We thought the estimate was quite reasonable for the work we asked him to do. He completed the tasks competently and responsibly and cleaned up afterwards (even taking away some of *our* trash!). We actually added some jobs to the list which he also completed, only charging us a very modest sum beyond the original estimate. Throughout our interaction, he was polite and a good communicator. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Excellent handyman.
Description of Work: Did some painting inside and out, repaired dryer, installed grate on window, repaired window, installed screens, dealt with trip hazard on sidewalk, and assorted other jobs.

I regret that I had a medical procedure & came down w/an infection that landed me in the ER on IV antibiotics, so I do apologize. We are a small business, & my wife was taking care of me & trying to follow up w/my customers. Please accept my apologies for a missed appointment. I can reschedule the estimate at your convenience.

Steve gave us a good price to perform the work. We gave him a house key so that he could work undisturbed during the day. Steve started the day he was slated and worked until the job was finished. He arrived early and worked late as we wanted to have the project completed by Memorial Day. We actually had to ask him to stop one night and get some rest. He worked very cleanly and was unfailingly polite and cheerful. It was a good experience working with Steve and I will most definitely call him back to work in our basement laundry room to make it a more pleasant environment.
Description of Work: Steve had meshed and stuccoed a chimney on our roof deck. He also added a flat stone counter top and back-splash to the chimney top to create, in effect, a mini bar. Steve also constructed a shaded area for our roof deck pergola. The overall effect is a welcoming space in any weather, rain or shine.

Steve was just great. He was responsive, professional and worked the whole time he was at my home. I am very pleased with the work he did. His repairs were done very well, not just bandaids on a problem. I would definitely recommend Steve for any kind of handyman work.
Description of Work: Steve did several small jobs for me. He repaired an outdoor drain cover, secured the downspout on the back of the house, repaired a handrail that was coming out of the brick, repaired a hole in the wood floor, installed two handrails in my basement stairwell, caulked the tub and installed baseboard moulding throughout my living room and dining room. Steve also drywalled a basement wall and patched around some electrical outlets.

Steve was great. He is a professional from start to finish, and did a great job on the shower, and a fabulous job on the tile work. His work was so good we had him come back to replace some broken tiles in the kitchen, which because of the deteriorated nature of the original install there, turned into replacing the entire floor with new tile. Once again Steve did a great job. He is neat, cleans up, and very pleasant to have around. A great experience. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Master bathroom shower tile was falling off the wall. Required removing the tile and old wall board from the shower area and roman tub area, repairing water damage, making plumbing changes, installing hardy-backer board, prepping the area for tile installation, and finally installing new glass tile.

Mr Gengaro personally answered my phone call to inquire after his repair services. We agreed on an inspection date to occur within two days of the call. He showed up at the property promptly. We surveyed the work needing to be done, discussing any other work desired. An estimate was supplied the next day and a schedule for the work to begin agreed upon. Once the down payment was agreed upon and received, work was started. Mr Gengaro is quite personable and kept me well informed of the progress and any issues uncovered during the repair. Despite the relatively confined space, the water damage was expected to be extensive and required additional work above the original estimate to be performed. This had been discussed prior to work beginning and Mr Gengaro requested approval before any additional tasks were undertaken. The work was completed in a very timely manner with absolutely no complaints by building management and no issues with neighbors. Final inspection of the work performed revealed an impressive job, repairs completely done and the space refreshed. All refuse was removed and the re-laid carpet vacuumed. An excellent job for which I was not hesitant to remit the complete balance due. Thanks, Steve!
Description of Work: Repaired water damage in walk-in-closet from overhead leak, which had been undiscovered for some time. Water damaged overhead ceiling paint and sheet rock, as well as baseboards, carpet and a wall. In addition, removal of the old closet fixtures was agreed to be undertaken. Soiled sheet rock was removed or patched as appropriate and repainted. Old closet fixtures were removed and anchor holes patched and repainted. Carpet was lifted and dried, soiled underpad removed and replaced with clean product, and carpet re-laid.

It went very well. I called Steve and he returned my called immediately. We scheduled a time to give an estimate. He was prompt and gave a very detailed estimate. We scheduled when the work would start and he came and we discussed the job in detail , including how much time it would take. The work began by removing the divider wall in the powder room. Removed a light fixture and exhaust fan. He then installed a new exhaust fan that was not in the original plan. He installed the pipes for the new sink. He had to work in my crawl space in the basement to accomplish this. A wall cabinet was installed, a new floor and sink. This was done in the time we talked about. He then returned a couple of weeks later to change out my bathroom sink and moved the toilet. He was very responsive to any changes I wanted.
Description of Work: Steve was great. He returned calls immediately and gave a very detailed estimate. The estimate was fair and reasonable. He remodeled my powder room, including taking down a wall, sheetrock, plumbing, installing bath fixtures and flooring. He also worked on plumbing in my main bathroom. He was very responsive to any changes that I made and I made a lot while he was working. I will call him again for any other jobs.

We got Steve to install custom window screens. He was extremely responsive, he was willing to work late and during weekends to work around our schedule. He was prompt and finished the work on time. The fact that I could communicate to Steve through texts and emails and get a response within a reasonable time was a big plus for me.

Unfortunately I have to change my original review which was a glowing one. After the first round of drywall and spackle, I noticed it cracking in two spots on the day he returned to finish the job. He started to repair the cracks then ended up having to tear out half of what he had already done and informed me it would cost almost as much as the original job did to "fix" this again. There hadn't been any leaks that caused the cracks and he explained that he "probably" should've waited to do the second coat because of how saturated the ceiling was. This was something that he - the professional - should have known and should have told me. I felt very manipulated at first and thought that perhaps he had intentionally "made a mistake" so he could charge me more money but the more we spoke, I think he just isn't very experienced at this and his mistake ended up costing me extra time and money. I was also pretty disappointed to learn that the one other review he had which was very positive and is what I based a large part of my decision to hire him on initially was written by his girlfriend. All in all, it was a pretty unpleasant experience and I'm sure it was just as unpleasant for him. I will not be calling on him again in the future.

It went very well. I had some ideas that weren't going to be as I pictured in my mind before starting the big project of the kitchen. He has a very good eye & his finish work is what really makes him stand out. He helped me to get a better idea of how things would actually look & helped me to maximize the space in a small area without making it feel closed in. I would suggest telling him your expectations for the finished product, but then listen to his design ideas as well. He has a better idea of how things will look than you probably do. He will not try to talk you into anything and will be very mindful of your budget. He is willing to price jobs out on a per diem basis or give a whole-project estimate -- however you want him to do it. The tile work was the finishing touch. I almost spent three times what I ended up spending, but I found the exact hand-painted access tiles that I wanted on the innet & saved a bundle. Take your time & make sure you get exactly what you want.
Description of Work: Steve remodeled my whole kitchen -- cabinetry, floor, counter, sink, new custom tile backsplah, paint etc. I am extremely pleased with the finished product. He has also done a number of smaller projects for me -- new closet doors, installed a retractable awning, refinished my deck, unclogged drains, etc. He is honest, his prices are very fair, and he SHOWS UP when he says he's going to. He is conscientious about his work & cleans up after himself. I recommend him to all my friends, especially single women who feel like sitting ducks for handymen & contractors.
