Bert has done 2 rehab jobs for me on investment houses. Both in the $8000 range. He does top quality work and has considerable ability to craft creative solutions. Both jobs were completed professionally, on time, with great attention to detail and the final product was better than hoped for! He is very easy to dialogue with and is always open to your ideas as well as offering options to you. Further he will shift gears mid stream if you decide it’s the way to go. He is very knowledgeable about carpentry, flooring, plumbing, electrical and everything a competent handyman should know about and more importantly, be proficient at. He's also a very good interior painter! More recently (May 2017), Bert did some home repairs on our personal home. He rebuilt our half bath after it suffered a major water issue, rehabbed our quite sad laundry room and completely redid our master bath replacing tub, valves, tiles, flooring and molding. All top rate work and again, the final product was awesome! You know how difficult it is finding quality handyman. Sometimes it’s a terrible crap shoot! I know because a previous handyman wannbe attempted to fix our laundry room and after considerable investment, left a sorry mess. Been there have you? You know what I mean then…. Well you won’t experience that will Bert, trust me! IF you are lucky enough to get into Bert’s work schedule, trust me, you will be very happy with the outcome and value! Here's 2 pics of the old master bath with the old tub and flooring. One with the new tub and large tiles! Also 2 pics of the finished laundry room. Only wished I'd taken a pic of the disastrous laundry room before! Note - where did the hot water go ??? :)
Description of Work: Rehabbed 2 investment houses, redid 2 baths including replacement of tub/shower and laundry room in personal house.

Bert is very professional and competent. He has a remarkably strong work ethic and concern for his customers. He called back when I called, he showed up when he said he would, he fit me into his schedule quickly, he did high quality work, and he asked for less money than I would have expected to pay. I got a top-quality dishwasher installation for half what another handyman gave me an estimate for. I highly recommend Bert and I'll call him again, which is more than I can say for just about any person I've hired to do work on my house.
Description of Work: Installed a dishwasher where there wasn't one before.

Bert did a great job on everything. He is conscientious, professional, knows what he is doing and stands behind his work. He is pleasant and you will have no drama with Bert. Just good work at a fair price. You can't go wrong with Bert. Basically did an entire interior rehab. Painting, new floors throughout the house, new toilets, sinks, fixing counters, plumbing, painting the porch, replacing outside vinyl along with 10,000 other things needing done when you do an entire interior rehab...... Bert, reluctant to give you this good review. Everyone else will want you to work for them and I may not be able to get you when I need you! :) Thanks Bert! Russ

Everything Bert did for me was professionally done. I was pleased with everything he did, and would call upon him again. One note is Bert has a very busy business, so he may not be able to get to you immediately on a none critical project. If your project can wait, it would be worth it to wait until he is available. Through the entire process he keep in touch with me and answered all calls when I reached out to him. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Initially Bert was going to do repairs on my privacy fence and some minor carpentry work in my kitchen. I really liked Bert so I ask him to do a few other things for me in the house since I had him here. He ultimately did the much needed fence repairs, cleaned the fence and sealed it. He also replaced all the cabinet hinges in my kitchen and master bathroom, put new lights and towel racks in my master bathroom, and created a wood kick plate to go under my new dishwasher.

Bert is terrific. His prices are reasonable, he did a great job and we will use him again.
Description of Work: Handyman services. Mr. Baker repaired & extended chainlink fence around rental property. He appears to be in high demand. That's the good news. Many times we have to ask another vendor due to schedule conflicts. This vendor is smart, organized and busy. He seems to know his areas of expertise and will frankly decline a job due to our scheduling requirements.

Have you noticed all the and quot;Aand quot; ratings on every review of Bert ? I did. That's one of the main reasons why I gave him the job. I had several Handymen come to my house, giving me estimates. I decided to hire Bert, and, have no regrets. He arrives on time; cleans up after finishing; he's honest; polite; easy to work with; reasonably priced, and, did a VERY professional job. Everything was done as promised. I could not have asked for anything more. I have already scheduled him for some additional work that needs to be done, and, have recommended him to others in my church. Don't forget to see his Sculpture work, that he has pictures of, on his cell phone..........................Amazing !! The man is truly gifted, and, because of that, he's exactly who you'll want, working on your house.
Description of Work: Replaced rotten brick mold, with PVC, on all windows. Caulked around windows. Rescreened windows. Repaired crack, and, water stain on ceiling. Replaced weather stripping on doors. Repaired termite damage on door jam.

Everything was done professionally and in a timely manner. Bert and his staff are pleasant, competent workers who always arrived with positive attitudes and who put in full days. He does a wide range of work very well and conscientiously. He also sculpts, creates figures in metal and has a band in which he plays and sings. How can you go wrong with a guy like that!?

He is a great man and a great handy man. His work is excellent and he is extremely trustworthy.
Description of Work: Bert came to our house March 28 and added a gutter and downspout to the back gutter system. The rain had overwhelmed it and we needed an additional downspout.

Bert is wonderfu!!!!. He is extremely reliable. He calls you when he tells you he will call you and shows up when he says he will. His work is excellent. He is a hard worker and does quality work. The hole in our door frame looks like it was never a problem, our fence is perfect again. The bathroom looks great and the ceilings are great as well. Bert is so good that he never spilled even one drop of paint. Not even one spatter! He cleaned and vacuumed and even put items back where they went after he removed the drapes. What a great man! We plan to have him put up crown moulding later and paint our house outside as well. We'll definately call him again. Thank you Bert!!
