He does okay work. He sometimes gets in over his head and will do work that he will is not capable of. He doesn't like to do certain things and rather than telling a person, he pretends it can't be done or does it poorly. His drywall work isn't the best. He doesn't like to work more than 4 hours a day. He doesn't return phone calls. He will leave work half done. And he really doesn't like to listen to the customer. He's a very polite man, but his tries to do things he's not skilled at. And will leave the work shoddy. He destroyed my door jam, left drywall patched, but didn't sand or paint, replaced quarter round moulding but it's still a 0.25 inches shy. He gets an attitude if you tell him you want something done in a way he doesn't like. I wanted a right handed faucet because I'm right handed. He argued with me that it had to be left handed. This guy is stubborn and won't listen to his customers.
Description of Work: Drywall, deadbolt, quarter round moulding

Everything went very smoothly and he finished in 2 hours.
Description of Work: I had trouble putting in some ceiling fans and had no idea what brackets to buy. I called Pete and he came out and gave me a quick estimate. He then bought the brackets that were needed and installed 2 ceiling fans and a light fixture for me. He was very through and everything looks great. I couldn't be happier.

I could not have asked for better. He is so helpful and resourceful. He helped me keep costs down, did his work quickly and it all looks great.
Description of Work: Pete helped me get my house fixed up to rent. He came out several times and helped with a bathroom, which required minor plumbing, laying a floor, boxing in a vent in the basement, installing a new door, putting up crown moulding, toe moulding around a recently installed floor, and more.

Peter arrived right on time and had all the tools--including a neat little jack--to do the job efficiently. It turned out that because the exhaust was vented outside, as opposed to out the front of the microwave, the motor had to be turned around--something I would not have felt comfortable doing. It took longer to do the installation, and thus cost more, but it was worth it to me.
Description of Work: I needed a microwave installed. It is an above-the-stove model and is very heavy. I may have been able to do it myself, but it is really a two-person job, and my husband was not available to help me.
