Tom did a great job. He was very responsive and was dedicated to getting the job done right. His work was not always perfect, but he would always bring any issues immediately to my attention, and come up with a way to fix it, which I greatly appreciated. He also worked very well with our other contractors (electrical and paint). He stands by his work, and has come out to fix a door rubbing against a frame months after it was installed at no additional cost. We will definitely look to him again for future projects.
Description of Work: He helped with basement finishing. Specifically, some framing work, insulation, drywall, interior and exterior doors, and trim work.

It went very well. I was kept up to date on the repairs so there were no price surprises. The work was expertly done & on time. Once the area was opened up the and the extent of the water damage was determined everything went exactly as promised including the price.

Mr. Pollard was very polite, fair, and he did exactly what he said he would do. He was patient with the planning and with me trying to figure out how I wanted it organized as he built it! He is very good natured and I was comfortable with him coming and going in the house.

Mr. Pollard was wonderful to work with! After getting multiple estimates, we found that his pricing was very reasonable and he was able to fit our project into his schedule in a timely manner. Our door had some rot and driving rain had been seeping in, so we had to have the door replaced and the floor repaired. Mr. Pollard was very upfront with us, letting us know that he didn't have a lot of tile experience but that he was trying to gain more and felt very comfortable tackling this small space. His honesty and confidence convinced me, and he did a FANTASTIC job! He did a thorough job in the repairs and I would never have guessed that he had limited experience in tiling- it was perfect. He was spot-on in his estimate of the time frame needed for the repairs and was always punctual. He gave me a range of how much he anticipated the work to cost, and the final cost ended up being on the low end of that range. He was very friendly and personable, but also stayed focused on completing the job at hand. It's obvious that he really does value quality work- he says he's a perfectionist and I can see that for sure. I would recommend his services to anyone and will call him again in a heartbeat when I need a job done around the house. I highly recommend considering him!

While I have given Tom's pricing a 'B' rather than the 'A' as I gave in all the other categories, I think his pricing, while on the high side, is completely justified. It's the only way that he can guarantee the high quality of his work, and if you care about your house it is well worth it. In addition, because of the breadth of his skills and experience he can do excellent work in a variety of trades, saving you a lot of hassle trying to find multiple competent individuals. The breadth and depth of Tom's experience also make him an excellent resource for advice if your house or your project may be a little out of the ordinary. He's willing to be a partner in your project and doesn't just look for the easy, cut-and-dried job. This sort of attention is worth a lot. A thank you to Tom and his amiable associate Mike

Mr Pollard responded quickly to our situation which needed quick attention. He made a very timely appointment to give us an estimate and came on time. His estimate was very reasonable and he scheduled another timely date to do the repair. On the scheduled date both the replacement siding job and the cabinet repair were done expeditiously and professionally. We are very please with the results and plan to use Mr Pollard on future jobs.
Description of Work: 1) Replace aluminum break metal over a wood strip between vinyl siding and eaves. Strong wind tore off the metal strip and exposed the wood on the side of the house to the elements. 2) repair and reinforce the attachment of one kitchen cabinet to the wall. The cabinet was incorrectly hung and was pulling away from the wall.

Tom and his helper, Mike, were prompt, pleasant and efficient. He always called before coming over to make sure it was convenient and someone would be home to let him in. He cleaned up everything, every day, before going home. He always discussed any changes/additions to the various projects fully and clearly. We plan to use them again.
Description of Work: Re-screened back porch; repaired all kitchen cabinet hinges; fixed dryer; repaired louvered door and rehung it; planed 2 doors to close better; replaced outer lights and chandelier bulbs; did touch-up painting inside & outside; repaired toilet; caulked sinks & showers in two bathrooms.

Tom did a fantastic job. He built and installed a bookcase/shelf in a cubby in our family room. He designed the unit and suggested trim and color. He built it on-site. His suggestions were great and the unit looks fantastic. He is very detailed oriented. His assistant painted the two bedrooms. The bedrooms already had furniture. I was worried about getting paint on the furniture or rug but there is not a speck of paint anywhere but on the walls! It is a great job. Tom knows exactly what to do and he knows what he is doing. He is very competent. We are very, very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: Tom built a bookcase, installed our microwave and backsplash, and painted two bedrooms.

We own a beautiful home in Forest Lakes. It's been loved and lived in and needed some care. We found Tom on Angie's List and as soon as we spoke on the phone, knew we had found our man. We found Tom to be responsive, professional, and honest. The type of handyman of days gone by - amazing. We got lucky. Tom's work is gorgeous! The house looks great! The stove has been given a facelift. The paint job is fabulous!! - and was a HUGE job! We are thrilled. Attention to detail, neat, never a mess, responsible and trustworthy. We will be calling Tom whenever we need help. It's such a relief to find an honest and talented person who does not overcharge and over promise. Thank you, Tom!! And thank you, Angie's List!!!

[Member's name removed] Im sorry you didn't like the price I quoted you. You found me through the Big Deal on AnaiesList where you hired me for a day at a set price. You wanted 2 cathedral ceilings that went 17ft high painted in a day I presume. First off it required renting scaffolding to reach all of the ceiling,there where pianos and organs to work around furniture to move. the crown moulding to renail and caulk and tape joints to repair. On top of all this there had been a smoker in the house. Due to smoking the ceiling neede a sealer coat before the paint so that nicotine would not bleed through the paint. I'm sorry you didn't like my price for the work you wanted done. I hope you find the rite person to do your work.

Because he had not worked on cedar roofing before, he did not want to perform work he was not experienced doing. That being said, I look forward to working with him as he was very pleasant to talk with. He was also very courteous and professional. I will be contacting him regarding other projects that come up as I and I feel Mr. Pollard will be of great assistance in the future.

He was great! I actually went to sleep for the 1st 2 hours he was there. He was very quiet and he went about his work without me watching over him. He was halfway done when I woke up. When I went to check his work it was excellent. The deck boards were in place and nailed down and the back gate was hung and worked better than it did when I moved in which was a little over a year ago. He did a great job sanding the stairs after I woke up. There were some ingrained black spots that he was able to remove. He even went to Lowes to purchase the exhaust vent for the dryer. It seems like he did more than just replace the vent. I don't know if he cleaned it out some before he put it up but it looks great. I know some birds were in there because I heard them but I am sure they are no longer there. Also please know that replacing the vent and fixing the refrigerator were not initially agreed upon. I added those on the day of the repair. He fixed it all with a great attitude. I feel blessed to have found him. He was fair with his pricing. I believe I got a great deal. A fter waking up, I was relieved to see that he had his earbuds because I snore! Hopefully it wasn't too bad. He's an awesome handyman! I was very please with the service!

it was a great job, couldn't ask for better. came when he said and didn't leave until the work was done and site was cleaner than when he arrived. got a quote and it had no hidden cost. so we weren't surprised when we got the bill. we needed 3 doors repaired and one door replaced on our sheds. the finish work matched our sheds of 20 years. excellent will be calling in future for some other repairs around the house.
