I just wanted an estimate for a drywall finishing job in a downstairs remodeled bathroom. Tom took plenty of time making sure every detail with the job was covered. At this point we have not agreed to have him do the work but there is no doubt if it is done, he will do it.
Description of Work: Mr. Pollard arrived on time and was most informative about his work. Showed photos of recent jobs. Great first impression

Tom is VERY professional and curtious. When he first came to our home to give us a quote he explained everything in detail and performed the job exactly as explained. He was very neat and cleaned up everything afterwards. He is a very Hard and meticulous worker. His prices are at the higher end but WELL WORTH every penny! We already have a quote for him to install another ceiling and he will be coming out in the next few weeks to do so. He guarantees all his work for 1 year and when my the fan he installed upstairs was making a very low ticking noise he came out immediately and remedied the problem. It is hard to find such a quality hard worker nowadays and I would not hesitate to recommend Tom!
Description of Work: Tom installed a ceiling fan in our master bedroom. He also fixed a broken picket on our stairs, reinforced toilet paper holders that were coming out of the wall in our master bath and first floor bathroom, installed an attic drop down staircase and fixed some kitchen cabinet doors that the hinges were coming out of the cabinets.

He was able to match our cabinets to the floor trim and he did a great job! We felt the price was very reasonable. I could tell he had very high standards and he was trustworthy. He was able to fit us in well and was able to come by the next day. It took about 1 working day to complete the work.
Description of Work: We had a flood in our kitchen. We needed to repair the wood work. He came in and repaired some wood trim in the kitchen. We also bought new tile and he installed that as well.

Tom and his co-worker worked very quickly. Tom started on the drywall while the other person started working in the basement. After removing the damaged drywall, the cracked ceiling joist was discovered and Tom repaired it without a change in the original estimate. They left our house cleaner than it was to begin with. Tom was very responsive to calls. When I had to leave messages for him he always returned my call within a short time. After they were done, Tom contacted us and asked if he could come back to do some additional work. Upon reflection, he was not 100% pleased with the basement repair and wanted to add another support. He did this at no additional charge. Dealing with Tom was an excellent experience.
Description of Work: Replaced damaged ceiling drywall, repaired cracked joist, repaired old termite damage on floor beam, and elevated and supported sagging floor.

Tom and Eric were punctual and did and outstanding job getting everything done in 2 days. They identified everything that was going to be done and explained how they were going to do it. Asked for my input and identified other areas that might be a problem. Cleaned up everything very well with no mess left behind. They were friendly and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them to others and use them in the future.
Description of Work: Patched, sanded, and painted living room ceiling. Replaced boots on vent pipes on roof. Cleaned gutters. Installed gutter hangers. Scraped and painted door trim for 3 doors. Did break metal around the front door trim. Installed baseboards in the kitchen.

We didn't realize there were pieces missing to the ridge cap and glad he was able to point it out and fix it before it became another roof issue.
Description of Work: Repaired a leak in the roof along the chimney. While he was on the roof he discovered a missing ridge cap which he also replaced. I plan on using him for other services in the future.

Tom was great right from the start. He was up front about his process and pricing. He explained what he would do and followed through. His pricing was competitive, he was professional, and courteous. Other contractors couldn't figure out what to do about the front door or suggested much more expensive solutions. His workmanship was great and he went out of his way to make sure we were happy with the job. I would recommend him to anyone.

Each job I hire him as my "go-to" contractor for home improvements. Tom has been punctual, courteous, provides advice, and takes pride in all steps along my three door replacement. He is very attentive to detail & very affordable. His product is well worth cost. Easy to contact and returns all calls.
Description of Work: As like prior two door replacements, Tom & his company removed old double French patio doors and installed new set of double doors (French). He prepped, cleaned, shimmed frame opening, & also installed door knob & lock set. He finished ~6 to 7 hrs.

Perfect he did not bother me with 3 hours of talk he just started the job and most important finished it./
Description of Work: After having 3 companies tell me they would show up to do the job I called Top Quality. Tom responded quickly. Even more important he showed up on time to do this very difficult job. He custom made 3 window frames, then cut the glass to fit. They look wonderful/ He had to work overtime to finish the job. I could not be happier with the work the and his craftsmanship. He left the job site clean and I was amazed, that one man could finish this job in one day. I told him I do not believe he charges enough. I will call Tom for all my home improvement work. You should too. Howard Schwartz Martinsburg WV.

Tom was a pleasure to work with. From day 1 he was responsive, honest, and punctual. I had faith that he could deliver from the moment we met. He's a very down to earth, respectful, and personable guy who you can't help but like. His work was done very professionally and quickly. I spent more than I thought I would, only because I wanted him to take care of every little detail that I had thought I could do myself. The peace of mind in knowing that everything is taken care of was well worth it. I will absolutely be giving Tom a call whenever I need something else done. He's got a customer for life!

He completed on time and I was very satisfied with the quality of work. I would not hesitate to call TOP Quality for other jobs around my home, or to recommend this company to my neighbors.
Description of Work: Tom gave a fair quote and was very communicative about scheduling. He offered to work on the weekend which was better for both of our schedules. The job was to re-do some bad drywall repairs and to install baseboard trim in a large basement with multiple rooms.

Tom was very cordial, punctual & professional, but he & his partner smoked way too much and the job took a lot longer than he quoted me. I was hoping to spend $ 600 tops, but he charged me $ 950.00.
Description of Work: He never installed swing sets before, however I knew this but thought he could handle it. Though it took a lot longer than expected, he did do a good thorough job. He didn't finish the work because it was getting too expensive.

Response from TOP Quality Home Improvements LLC
In regards to cost of the job, when I spoke with the homeowners- I told them $25 per man hour. The instructions for the swing set clearly stated, and it was evident that it was a 2 man job- therefore making it $50 an hour. Based on the information in the instructions, we were going to complete the swing set on time, and that included installing a foundation for the swing set of 6x6 beams into the ground due to the fact the area was not level. We wanted to ensure that the foundation was stable and the swing set was safe. The additional work was also completed within the time allotted for the construction of the swing set. The homeowner gave me a stop time to ensure that they stayed within a certain budget. I stopped the work on the time that she requested and then proceeded to clean the area and pickup all tools, etc on my own time and did not count that toward the hours that were charged to the member. I believe the miscommunication occurred because the member thought that she would get 2 men for $25 an hour, not $25 each. I apologize for any confusion and will make sure that this is more than clear in the future. In regards to us smoking on the job site, please be aware that neither myself nor my partner ever stopped or took a break to smoke. We continued working out of respect for the members time and to ensure that we are as efficient as possible. We make sure to leave the area clean of any debris as well. Again, I regret that this member was not 100% satisfied with the job, as we work very hard to make sure that all of our customers are happy with our work and their experience. Please see our other reports for a true testament of our work and customer satisfaction.

Another company met my budget. They were prompt with me. They stayed in touch. It was a beautiful proposal with a lot of preparation into it. It was very detailed. Overall experience was excellent. They were fast. It was the highest quote which I got from them. The company I went with, I felt they were more experienced. I was very impressed with them. I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used TOP Quality Home Improvements & Repairs to get an estimate back in September. They quoted me $20,000. It was for roof repair and final siding.
