About us

Hi there. Wayne Goodlin here. I welcome you to Uncle Wayne's Profile Page. Allow me to tell you who I am and what I'm about. I'm a semi-retired guy who loves building things. I also love fixing things...and repairing that which is repairable. Bathtub tile walls and walls and floors in showers are nearly all repairable…it’s what I specialize in…the young guys never learned ‘repair’, just wreck out the old and build it new…that’s an option for me, but not the only one. While holding a degree in business management from URI, I have been operating a small home remodeling business for the last thirty years, primarily in building bathrooms. I am fully licensed and Insured. My business has always consisted generally of just myself. Honestly, I prefer doing everything myself if I can…I do all the supporting carpentry for my tile and stonework, that is, sub-flooring, wall building, and countertop preparation…my tile work is expert and some years ago I won an award from The Providence Preservation Society…that was for restoration work in an old and wonderful east side home ! Most of my work, however, has been in average homes, primarily suburban…clean, attractive and affordable.

Response from Uncle Wayne’s Ceramic Tile and Stone
Hi there...this is Uncle Wayne's response to this client's review...I can only say that the comments were inaccurate, distorted, and not remembered very well from 6 months ago...I can only ask that anyone considering using my services in the future see that of the 50 or so other reviews clients have submitted not one other is below an 'A' rating...i'm a good person and I don't cheat anybody...Wayne

Description of Work: My parents used Uncle Wayne's for a number of different projects that needed to be completed around the house, including installing railings, fixing a moldy ceiling, fixing a broker dishwasher, toilet, and sink faucet, unclogging a garbage disposal etc. etc. They were really happy with his work and will definitely continue to use Uncle Wayne's services. He responded to our call right away and came in the next day, working steadily to get everything done, and explaining what he was doing along the way. Thanks Angie's List for helping my parents find a reliable handyman and plumber!

Description of Work: Uncle Wayne tried to get my hot water heater started. He assessed my hot water heater and said that there was a guarantee and to go back to the provider in order to save money since the hot water heater was not too old. In the end, I did need to purchase a new hot water heater and saved over $500 because of the guarantee. Honestly, I don't think I would have thought of using the guarantee. Uncle Wayne could have installed a new water heater but instead did the right thing.

Description of Work: Wayne removed and replaced faucets on 3 sinks. Due to significant corrosion resulting from high iron content in our well water, removal of the faucets was very challenging. Wayne arrived promptly, communicated all issues and concerns along the way, and provided excellent service at a fair price.

My front door no longer closed properly. Wayne took the whole thing down, redid all of the weather stripping, and reset the hinges. It took most of an entire day. It now works like a charm.
Description of Work: Wayne came to the house to repair the front door. He reponded quickly to my request for service, came to the house on time, performed the work neatly and professionally. His price was more than fair. We have a list of other jobs already lined up for him.

Wayne did a great job remodeling my bathroom in my older home. (1920 farmhouse) Wayne is a true craftsman when it comes to tile work, carpentry and plumbing work. Wayne went the extra mile and built me a custom shelf that I am very pleased with. Wayne was able to work in harmony with the crooked walls and quirks of my older home with ease. Wayne is a very personable and pleasant person to deal with. Wayne showed up and got the work done in a timely fashion. Wayne is an excellent communicator, he always answered the phone or got back to me right away when I called him. When I first met Wayne and spoke with him It quickly became obvious to me that Wayne has many many years of experience . Waynes experience came in very handy when it was time to pick out materials and supplies to use on the bathroom project. Wayne new what and where to get the best materials for the best prices to keep my bathroom project on budget and still have a bathroom constructed of the best materials that will certainly weather the storm for many many years to come. Wayne insisted that he install a ceiling fan for me with a timer to ventilate all of the humidity out of the bathroom while i take a hot shower. This made sense to me, get the humidity out of the room and everything in the room will last longer. I could go on and on about Wayne, but I think you already get the idea. Wayne was the right for the job.

He was on time, on the right day! Patient and understanding, he cunducted the work at a time that was convenient for us. When the damaged cieling was taken down, we found our original assumptions about this leaky area were wrong. Wayne created a new solution and completed the work within the timeframe estimated. I will hire him again, and recomend my friends to use his services.
Description of Work: Stopped a leak from the upstairs bathroom, repaired cieling, and finished the area back to a condition that blended in with the existing conditions.

Amazing! Wayne took a run-down half-bath with a sloping floor and bad plumbing and transformed it into a beautiful full-bath with top-of-the-line plumbing and beautiful features. He worked beautifully with the complexities of our 200 year old home, creatively shifting a walk-in closet and modifying the original door to create more room for the bathroom, while maintaining the integrity of our historic home. Wayne has a wonderful sense of style and space. He loves a good challenge, which our old home certainly provides! He is able not only to mask imperfections (quirks) in a home, but he finds clever ways to use them to the fullest advantage, finding extra storage space and design features lurking in the most unexpected places. In the case of our bathroom, for example, he turned a doorway into space for a vanity and sink on one side and a build-in bookshelf on the other. Wayne is also a delight to work with. He truly cares for his customers and for their homes. He is respectful and friendly, working comfortably around the chaos of our toddlers and dogs. I give Uncle Wayne's the highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Wayne Goodlin has done a lot of work on our home, but here I will focus on the first project he did for us -- a full remodel of a bathroom.

Wayne is a true handyman, ready and able to take on a variety of home projects. I had recently purchased the home and he was responsive and reliable and able to complete everything over the course of a few days. He is a problem solver, incredibly thorough and precise in his work, and, if anything, goes above and beyond thinking of more ways to improve a problem area. He responds quickly to requests and shows up when he says he will. He delivers high quality work. I have worked with him for a couple years now and will continue to call him for home repair/installation needs.
Description of Work: Troubleshot leaking washing machine and disconnected it and reinstalled another unit; Repaired broken garage door window; Installed lockset/deadbolt in door; Repaired/Replaced sections of deck; Fixed light fixtures; Re-plastered ceiling.
