Great service. The screen door that Mike replaced was old and tricky; in fact 3 other people had tried to fix it without any luck, but Mike Hardy took care of it fast! He did everything including finding the best door for the job. I was very happy with his professionalism, promptness, and quality of work. I especially appreciated how quickly he got back to me!
Description of Work: He did 2 jobs: he replaced my screen door and he removed a bunch of debris from my yard.

Called Mike after checking Angie's List for handymen. He responded right away and came out to check the job out that same morning. After looking at our leaning cabinet and microwave he explained what he would do and gave us an estimate and said he could do it the same day. After purchasing a replacement cabinet for us, came back and removed the old cabinet and took down the microwave. He installed the new cabinet and re-installed the microwave perfectly. My cabinet and microwave look so much better and I'm not worried any more that it will fall off the wall. Mike cleaned up and we were all set.
Description of Work: Mike replaced a cabinet in our kitchen above the microwave and installed the microwave they way it should have been the first time. He responded right away and was able to come out the same morning and he returned later that day and finished the project. He was very polite an respectful and Mike is someone we will use again and recommend highly!

I called Mike for a quote and he came over within a day or two and provided a quote within another day. The project took place over a few weeks and Mike always arrived when he promised he would. He worked around my schedule as requested. He quickly tore out all the old drywall, siding, carpeting, etc. He built new walls, hired an electrical subcontractor to take care of that part of the project, then installed all the drywall. After I had the drywall painted (he doesn't paint) he came back to install moldings and doors. He also installed new vinyl flooring. He was on time, kept the place neat, was pleasant and professional. When I had questions or concerns about the project, he was helpful with coming up with solutions. I picked out what I wanted, but he went to Menards and got all the supplies, vinyl, doors, etc. so I didn't need to hassle with any of that. The basement turned out great -- way better than it was before.
Description of Work: My finished basement was seriously damaged due to flooding and follow up repairs last spring. Mike came in to pull out all the damaged walls and rebuild.

Mike is very good at what he does. I am confident in his work and expertise. Both my wife and myself are very pleased with the work done on the porch floor and French doors. We are very excited with the kitchen cabinets after day 1 and look forward to the completion tomorrow. I have been using Mike Hardy since purchasing our home 4 years ago, and plan to have him work on the bathroom next. Be a little flexible and patient with his schedule for he is in high demand, and you too will experience and become confident as I have in his work.
Description of Work: Mike Hardy is currently installing kitchen cabinets for me. I had him in last month to stabilize a sagging back porch floor, of which he did a phenomenal job strenghtening the wall studs, which had rotted at the sill plate, and mainly installing a cross beam on now permament floor jacks to level the porch floor. Every job he has done includes little added touches that are unique, but essential to boost the overall finish quality of the job. These little touches is why I call Mike to do this work. He also installed some French doors for me, and again, little touches like the type of door hinges he used and the trim he used to cover the gap between both doors when closed is why I will continue to use Mike Hardy for all my woodworking and interior remodeling jobs. His accuracy, quick thinking and overall approach to each job are key factors for my hiring him, and his work shows it.

Mike visited my home and provide an estimate. He actually finished quicker than quoted and was going to charge me less. Instead, I asked if he would take a look at my sump pump which he fixed immediately bringing him up to the original quote time. Mike has a trailer that he brings on-site with a huge selection of tools. This guy can handle all kinds of projects.
Description of Work: Installed wall speakers in tricky location. Removed carpeting from hall and stairs. Also repaired sump pump.

Mike was very friendly and professional when he first came by to see what we wanted. He was able to have an estimate within one day; and begin work within two days. This was a recently purchased home needing remodeling before we were moving in. Our timeline was very tight as we also had flooring, painting, and plumbing jobs to schedule around. Mike's craftsmanship, willingness to do additional minor items, promptness, friendliness and overall attitude made him enjoyable to work with.
Description of Work: - small remodeling by punching hole in wall between kitchen and living room - removed wall-hung cupboards - crafted desk/counter in opening - created archway to match other doorways - added wider/deeper steps from kitchen to sunroom - installed overhead light (arranged electrician for wiring)

Couldn't have gone better!! Mike was efficient in his work, prompt and cleaned up each day. He made helpful suggestions that improved our project with limited additional cost. A special addition to our original project was the custom built cabinets. It went from my idea sketch to a finished product that we are all proud of. He went above and beyond in his providing of service and information to us. Hire this man!!
Description of Work: Installed framework, drywall, and trim in a completely gutted basement. Mike custom built and installed a set of cabinets and an access panel for the electrical box. Several pieces of trim were custom fitted for their particular spots. Also installed speakers for surround sound and two interior doors.

He was very pleasant. I won?t be hiring him though. I will absolutely not be hiring him in the future.
Description of Work: He called, he came and he looked around telling me what he doesn’t do. He could have told me over the phone what he didn’t do instead of wasting my time. He said he’d send me an estimate, which I’m not impressed by. Another thing is that my dog didn’t like him and she’s a people friendly dog!

OK.
Description of Work: Andy removed about a half inch from the bottoms of a swinging door and also from two regular doors. We needed this done because our new carpet and carpet pad are thicker than our old carpet. Andy finished the work in a little less than an hour. He did not make a big mess, and he cleaned up well after he finished.

Mike came in and decided that the best way would be to just take finished pine board, cut them to the current stair dimensions and place the finished right over the unfinished stairs. Mike did an immaculate job cutting to fit and rounding the ends of the stairs. Some of the stairs needed two boards to cover, and you cannot even tell where the joint is. To my surprise, Mike even recommended using trim to cover the stair angles--something I did not even think of. Mike did the work in two days, and he was awesome to work with. We talked with Mike about redoing our bathroom and are thinking of having him redo our kitchen cabinets. Mike is an accomplished carpenter and an asset to have for your woodworking project.
Description of Work: Needed to turn 5 unfinished stairs into finished stairs.

Mike was very professional. He came and assessed what needed to be done, came back the next day with the materials necessary and had the work done very quickly. He even fixed my broken front door bell in the process - it hadn't worked since I've lived in our house! I would highly recommend Mike Hardy for any carpentry need you have!
Description of Work: I've had Mike do work for me twice. First he build a mantel shelf for me and then he replaced a rotted front door stoop and still.

Mike is fantastic, very easy to have working in the house. We thought about doing the work ourselves and are very glad we didn't. One of the hallways is crooked and would have been extremely difficult for us, but for Mike it was just another day at work. The whole job took about 3 days. He cleaned up every day. Mike is a true professional.
Description of Work: Install new Pergo flooring over existing vinyl flooring in the kitchen, family room, two hallways, 4 closets, and 1 bathroom. Total area about 600 square feet. Install new oak base trim in a bathroom and family room and part of the kitchen. We provided the flooring and trim materials.

Mike was truly a delight to work with. Very professional, always punctual. His work is exceptional. Our house is a 1970's ranch and nothing is straight, requiring particular attention to detail on his part. He was quick and cleaned up every day. I really didn't have to clean anything after he left. I would say, however, the biggest surprise was that I had the use of my kitchen every night during the project, including the sink. He temporarily installed the old countertops and sink over the new cabinets while we were waiting for the new counters to be fabricated. Also, I have 3 little boys at home who are very interested in tools and "helping" Mike. He was very patient with them. Now that the project is over they really miss him!
Description of Work: Remove existing kitchen cabinets and soffit. Repair soffit area. Install new kitchen cabinets, including a bookcase on the back of the peninsula. Also, remove existing bathroom cabinets and replace with new.

EXCELLENT. Very professional. Mike was easy to work with. On time and schedule. Worked fast to get the job done. Said he was going to do exactly what he did. He is very detail oriented and strives for perfection. Before hiring him -- he came over to estimate the just and gave me some good ideas as well. I got Mike's name from a good friend (who's a perfectionist) and she was extremely happy with his work as well. I would hire him again in a minute. He's now my go to guy for remodeling projects!!!
