If I cannot help you, I will take the time to put you in touch with someone who can.
Services we don't offer
While I can brainstorm design ideas, I am neither a designer nor an architect and must leave this work to the professionals.
We've been working with Mike for several years now, and would highly recommend his services. He has always expressed a rational and detailed approach to design decisions, communicates very well, very punctual, and does exactly what is agreed. We've been very impressed with his woodworking skills. Our first project with him was the installation of a very large and heavy window, and I believe we reviewed this work here, but we've continued to work with Mike, and so thought we'd update our positive review.

Great! Mike was professional and proved great quality work. He got the whole job done in one day even though the areas were hard to reach. We asked that it not be painted because we were planning on painting the whole house later in the summer. Mike made sure everything was primed and ready to be painted, but matched the base close to the original color.
Description of Work: We needed a 3rd floor windowsill and 2nd floor siding replaced/repaired due to water damage.

Although I had more affordable options, I chose to work with Mike based on his overall positive reviews on Angie's list; his good responsiveness to my initial call for an estimate and excellent responsiveness to subsequent clarification communications; the professionalism of his evaluation of the scope of work and communication of both known scope and potential unforeseen conditions; and his willingness and ability to add my project into his already busy schedule within a timeline that worked for my overall needs. He was punctual in arriving to perform the work on the agreed date, and completed the scope within one day as estimated. What I can see of the work appears professional and of good quality - including minimal disruption to the exterior siding and salvage of the cedar shingles that were displaced. Mike was one of the best communicators in his profession (at least of those whom I've worked with), and I very much appreciated his responsiveness and clarity during the process of confirming scope; agreeing on pricing; and finalizing a schedule. I originally asked Mike to also provide pricing for drywall installation in the garage, but in reviewing his already busy schedule, he was honest and up front about not being able to complete those services within my preferred timelines, which I very much appreciate.
Description of Work: Repaired rot of structural framing around garage door, including: removed garage door; replaced header; splice-repaired and replaced adjacent 2x4s; replaced studs and base; and constructed temporary security barrier in place of door (I'm having a new door installed in a few weeks).

Response from Mike Freund General Contractor
I believe this review has been linked to my services in error, as I have not been contacted by or done any estimates or work for Ms. Mcgrew.

Mike and Jeanette did a fantastic job on our front portico. From the first call, Mike was responsive and professional. His bid was not the cheapest, but was the most comprehensive and we wouldn't go anywhere else for additional work. Mike came up with the new design - which fit perfectly with the house - even to the last detail, which would have escaped me if he had not mentioned it. The work was done quickly and well. High marks all around. Thank you.
Description of Work: Mike repaired a very broken, waterlogged front portico.

For the amount of time and cost of materials spent on the job I found the charge very steep and the results not very impressive, however it's not something I could have done better myself so it's hard to be critical. He did leave a clean and tidy work site.
Description of Work: Filled uneven basement floor with quick drying cement and set about 10 tiles around it. He shopped for the materials.

He was very responsive and professional. We would have hired him for the job, but due to time constraints we were not able to use his services.

His work was excellent. Mike is knowledgeable, communicative and sensitive to completing a project in our home. We appreciated his attention to detail and the careful manner in which he worked and managed his crew. Very professional, and we look forward to working him him again. Highly recommend.

Working with Mike was great - he was really professional, punctual, easy to be around and communicative about the work schedule. He did a great job of giving me advice that made my ideas better integrate with the style of the house. But he didn't force his ideas on me either. The products came out better than I imagined though - way better than they would have without him. And he gave me good estimates beforehand and they were accurate! Can't recommend him enough.
Description of Work: Mike did a couple of different projects on my houseboat - diagnosing a window leak (it was coming in far from where it was coming out), cut custom boards with multiple large notches to finish some unfinished room, cut and installed trim around a hatch to name a few... and I have more projects for him as well.

Excellent. We have been working with Mike for a couple of years now and he is excellent to work with. He is always timely responding to my e-mails for help and is able to complete projects in a timely and efficient manner. We feel extremely comfortable having him around our house working on projects. He has helped us with inside and outside work. His projects have included fixing our leaking problem in the basement to painting my kids' rooms with stencils.
Description of Work: Mike put in a new fence for our yard during the Christmas holidays. He hauled away the old falling apart fence and replaced it with a new wooden fence. He also fixed our leaking drain pipe in the bathroom and fixed some siding on our house.

Mike has done numerous jobs for us over the past two years and two houses. He is responsive, neat, trustworthy and an easy person to have working in your home. He installed several custom windows we purchased at Home Depot, including installing and finishing new trim. He demo'd the ancient cabinets in our kitchen and installed the new cabinets and butcherboard countertops. Our previous house had poorly installed bumpy and stained drywall in the basement complete with holes cut in the ceiling. Mike was able to rehabilitate the walls and ceiling to an amazing degree, and at quite a cost savings over new drywall. Our most recent job was to install a new window in our baby's room shortly before his due date. The old window was single pane and did not seal properly. Mike was able to schedule the job quickly and get the window properly installed with new wood trim and installed and finished in plenty of time to get the rest of the room ready. He is very neat and left the area free of sawdust. He also took pains to ensure that the newly finished wood trim would not off-gas into the baby's room. Mike also installed a new handrail on our stairs that didn't have one. He gave me various wood, trim and shape choices, more than I knew existed for a handrail! I ended up telling him to choose, which he did, and it looks great. The stairway landing had a safety rail/grid at the top, which had large spaces between the bars. Mike installed extra bars for safety (all of this in anticipation of future toddler) and they blend perfectly with the old ones so that you cannot tell any work was done. Finally, we had an extra doorway from my husband's closet to the hallway. We wanted to eliminate the doorway for a solid wall. The walls are lathe & plaster with beadboard. Mike was able to "fill" in the doorway, install new beadboard, and repaint the wall, again so that you cannot tell any work was done. We have been very pleased with all of his work, and would not hesitate to call Mike again for any job large or small.

I arranged with Mike in advance to have him cut the pickets and spacers prior to him arriving on site. He was very flexible in getting this done for me. Our agreement was that he be paid by the hour because the effort to complete the various projects was impossible to forecast. I did not ask for a written bid. When all the work was done, I felt the cost was well worth the work I received in exchange. The on site work required 2 days. Mike arrived promptly both days. While performing work for me, Mike worked very efficiently and frequently exerted himself, especially going up and down the ladder. I was very pleased with the quality and quantity of work I received. I did assist Mike in some of the tasks and found him very easy and pleasant to work with. I am pretty particular about quality, but was very satisfied with the Mike's workmanship. I have no complaints about any aspects of the various projects. I plan to use him on future projects.
Description of Work: I designed a railing to go around my deck that uses aluminum railings with wood pickets that match other rails. I needed someone to cut a notch into each end of each picket to fit into the aluminum rails, and cut spacers to go between the pickets, per my own design. I provided the wood to Mike (which I already pre-painted), and he cut them for me per the design. Mike then assisted me in installing the entire railing system, which took more than half a day. I also needed some long vertical cedar siding boards replaced on my house. This required a 40' ladder and someone brave enough to work 3 stories above ground. Mike did this work for me, and also applied trim paint while up there. He rented the 40' ladder we needed and delivered it to the job site, then returned it when done. I also needed a rain gutter along my roof leveled so that water would not accumulate in a low spot. I was sceptical that this could be done to my satisfaction, but Mike made it happen.
