This started out as a "please frame and drywall our basement, we will do the rest" and turned into a "can you just finish it out for us?" and I am so glad it did. Not only did he frame and drywall, but did all of the electrical/heating/cooling changes needed, got the painting done, flooring installed and ensured all finishing touches were on point. Basement turned out GREAT and we could not be happier with our decision to hire him. 10/10 - definitely recommend.

After my first job with Mike I was super happy with him. However, I used him again and this time I…read morewas so displeased. It was not funny. We hired Mike to remove a bar and to fix the ceiling after a leak. He charged us $150 to remove the bar. He then told us that he would charge us $300 to put the bar back in place and fix the ceiling. We had told them at that time that we would be using wall paneling to repair the ceiling. We had wall paneling on the ceiling at that time in another spot. When it came time to do the repair Mike showed up on the first day but lost his keys in his car and spent the entire day trying to get his keys out of the car rather than calling a service to do it for him. So he blew the entire day. On Wednesday I don't know what time he showed up because I had an appointment but when I got home at noon he promptly left and didn't show back up and until late afternoon and only stayed for an hour. After which he had a allowed argument with his wife over speakerphone about missing Valentine's Day dinner. He then left my house and returned late afternoon the next day after I made several calls to him trying to figure out where he was after. He stated he would be there the next morning. Very little communication. This type of behavior went on for days. When the job was complete, Mike tried to charge us over $1,600 for putting the bar back in and repairing the ceiling. I might add that the ceiling portion was 3x 20 ft Wall paneling and then he had to put the bar back in spot which was in two pieces. At this point he had severely damaged many pieces of the bar and the assembly around it. He had also left pencil marks on the ceiling which for some reason he thought was acceptable. Mike is not a licensed contractor but actually a handyman. This whole ordeal spent over a course of 4 days. Something that should probably have taken place in one day. At the end my husband and I ended up completing the job ourselves because Mike didn't show up on the final day except to pick up his tools when I told him we finished the job ourselves. For the pictures you see below, he actually wanted $848. After completing the job he then told me that his price was $125 an hour and said that he had worked over 15 hours which he can't even account for because he was so spotty in showing up and not showing up and he would come and go and take off for his wife, his children or to go shopping or to eat or who knows what or are even for other clients in the middle of working for me. To me, this now meant he was changing the original price that he had given me from $300 to something more. I do not recommend this company or this person to anyone and I've included pictures of his shoddy work. I should also mention that Mike wanted to decide what materials to use in my house and when I said no he was very upset. I had to go down and explain to him that he does not get to decide what materials are used in other people's house. I told him I was using wall panels and a specific one and he said he wanted to use a certain type of product and spray paint it. When I said no he was very upset and said that his idea was a good idea and that the people buying my house would have liked his idea. I am an interior designer and I'm very good at what I do. My house sold in one week in this very bad market. Obviously I know what I'm doing. I'm also going to include a letter that Mike sent me that was extremely rude regarding his displeasure about using the materials he wanted.

Absolutely excellent experience. Kurt is just a top notch person to start with. Beyond the…read moreexcellent work he does, he communicates extremely well on top of being very personable, which is often overlooked and not always the easiest attribute to come across. I first hired Kurt to do a privacy fence for me which unfortunately we could not get a permit for so we had him stain our deck instead. He advised us of the best stain to go with and made sure we knew and understood everything about the process. Our home is only a year old but it was time to get the deck protected and he made sure this was long term. The deck is just beautiful. It stands out so much in our neighborhood. Kurt was quick, efficient, timely and just did top notch work. I have seen his other work that he's done on pictures as well and its all excellent. Beyond all of this, Kurt helped me with lawn tips and installed my lawn striping kit free of charge... He went out of his way to make sure I was happy and always made sure that both my wife and I got everything we expected and more... To say I recommend him is an understatement. I will absolutely be using him for any future jobs that I have... Thanks Kurt!!
