Mike installed the fence the way he thought it should be installed, not according to the product specifications. At the end of a long day, he was in a hurry to get somewhere else so I did not press the issue. As I reviewed the fence more closely I realized that the way it was installed was not going to accomplish what it was designed to do. Additionally, one edge of the fencing was not finished off. In a phone call he said he would come and finish off the edge, which he did not do. He also told me he did not think it was necessary to correct the fence installation. I sent several emails which went unanswered.
Description of Work: I had purchased a high-end deer fence to go around my garden. I hired Mike to install the fence.

Mike was professional and friendly. He came to our house prior to estimating the job to ensure his quote would be accurate. His estimate included the vents and installation. The day of the job, Mike was on-time and worked without a break until the installations were complete. He was very careful to keep the noise as minimal as possible and cleaned up afterwards. The installations went without a hitch and we're enjoying quiet vents that work great. Mike is very transparent with his billing and also provided us with a copy of the vent receipts for our records. Cost of service above is for his time only (does not include vents). Since this experience went so well, we intend to hire Mike for future jobs.
Description of Work: Mike replaced 4 bathroom vents

It was a challenge and I was not satisfied with that appointment. He no showed for the first appointment which involved me taking off from work. He was significantly late for the second appointment. The estimate was also very high.

Mike was responsive to the voicemail I left, showed up on time, and was very friendly and professional. We didn't go with him due to receiving a slightly lower quote from another service provider, but his quote was still very reasonable. Overall a very good experience!

I called Mike from Angies list and he came over right away. I showed him the problem and he said he would return tomorrow to fix it. Since we are in the process of selling our house, I needed this done right away. Mike came back the next day to complete the job. I look for people who do what they say.

If you want someone you can trust, call Hardy Improvements LLC. They are really fast, really responsible and very talented when it comes to carpentry. They are extremely neat when it comes to how they leave your house and very talented in the expert work they do at a very, very fair price. The owner has a degree from MATC in construction and it shows in their professionalism. When they come to your house all their tools are in a mobile work shop they bring with them. Did I mention their work is perfect? It is because they are really good at what they do. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs a reliable service to help with home projects. Based on the work they did at my house I am confident their basement remodeling is perfect!

The service Mike provided was excellent and exceeded expectations. Mike is professional and focuses on customer satisfaction. This is the second time we have hired Mike and without question will do so again. While we have only used him for smaller jobs, we would feel more than comfortable hiring him for larger projects such as a remodel.
Description of Work: Mike cut the bottom of 5 doors as we had new carpet installed that resulted in the doors not opening smoothly. Mike also installed a reclaimed wood mantle over our fireplace. We ordered the mantle over the internet and it arrived 1 inch longer than it was supposed to be. Mike not only resized the mantle for us but he also distressed the cut end to match the other one. Mike installed the mantle over the fireplace and adjusted it several times to make sure it was as close to level as possible which was very difficult given the piece itself was quite untrue.

He works extremely fast was was finished with everything in under 2 hours. He installed a door knob, replaced some lights, added some new outside lights and cleaned my gutters. He even blew out the rest of the leaves in my yard. I was very happy with his service and would definitely contact him again. He was very friendly and knew exactly what to do.
Description of Work: After calling a number of handymen on Angie's list, only Mike and one other guy returned my call. The other guy was booked through Thanksgiving. Mike was working on another job, but because my needs wouldn't take long, he was able to squeeze me in in the following week. I love the fact I didn't have to wait weeks for what I needed to be repaired. Mike was very friendly and worked really fast.
