All work completed at a fair price within 30 days. Project completed in two phases, first removal of all carpet, laminate floor, kitchen, old hot water heater, bathroom fixtures and various items left behind by tenant. Second, install kitchen, hot water heater, paint all three levels (ceiling, walls, doors & trim), reinstall some new and previously existing bath fixtures, reinstall closets and install new trim & shoe. Turn around time, communication, pricing and quality of work all EXCELLENT. The townhome looks great and will bring top dollar!

These things matter to us and we got them all in Ulises Alvarado of UBD Handyman Services, who listened carefully and assessed our needs before installing decorative shutters to our home's exterior. The shutters were heavier than usual and he arrived with scaffolding (not just a ladder) for the upper level, demonstrating that he understood the scope of work. These gents work well as a team. The job was done with precision, quickly and at a competitive price. Ulises' cheerful manner and willingness to offer advice, when we asked, was icing on the cake. Did I mention he's an excellent communicator, responsive and punctual? He is! We'll bring Ulises back for our next job.

I do not recommend working with Bill and B&G Remodeling. Google reviews do not reflect my…read moreexperience, however, Yelp and Angie's (List) will reflect similar situations. My husband and I hired B&G Remodeling to complete multiple projects on our main floor. The project included multiple tasks but focused on moving an electrical outlet, patching drywall, installing doors and trim, as well as adding a backsplash in the kitchen. The electrical and drywall turned out fine. The doors and trim look ok, there are multiple areas where gaps are excessively filled in with calk to cover misscuts. Additionally, when Bill first provided a quote he said the team would calk and fill all the nails holes across the doors and trim but by the end of the project Bill refused to fill them stating that is the job of a painter. The entire process of the kitchen backsplash was a mess. By the end of the second day of work half the backsplash had been completed. Tiles looked like they were going to fall off the wall. Tile spacing was extremely inconsistent, some were so close there was no room for grout while other areas had gaps that were very large. Tiles were installed cracked or chipped. Bill was informed the results were unacceptable and needed to be corrected. Bill decided to remove the worst tiles from the backsplash and try to re-lay new tiles to correct the issues, that did not work. Bill assured us multiple times after this he would be able to fix it all and provide a professional finished product. We allowed him to continue the work under the understanding that it would be a good finished product. At the end of the last day of work once we paid Bill in full, we were then forced to clean our home for hours because of the state they left our home. Upon cleaning up the mess that was left in our kitchen and fully inspecting the work, we canceled the final check. My husband and I were absolutely shocked by how terrible the final product of the backsplash turned out. We contacted Bill and informed him, he did return to hear us out. Bill's comments on his own work when he arrived was "It was not THAT bad and he had seen worse". Bill then brought up to us that his company had all rights to redo the work, he again stated he could provide a professional finished product. Over the course of getting the backsplash re-installed (completely ripping down the first attempt including drywall) my husband and I regularly had to check the team's work and ensure they were doing a good job, essentially having to babysit our contractor. The backsplash was completed but there are still areas that don't look like a professional did them. At this point we were paying him to leave our home and to not have to deal with him further. At multiple points through the project Bill told me (a woman) how lucky I was that he was not yelling at me or further fighting me when I raised concerns on different issues. At one point when I commented on issues Bill told me to have more leniency and be aware the team could not install everything perfectly. When my husband commented on the same issues Bill told him he would get them corrected immediately. By the time the crew had come back to rip down and re-install the backsplash I did not feel comfortable being alone with Bill and my husband needed to stay home from work. Additionally, we were provided a quote and by the end of the project Bill provided a bill that was nearly $3K over the number we originally agreed on. Not once was a change order brought to us and we never sat down to agree on such a price discrepancy. Bill brought up the fact that he had run into some speed bumps moving an electrical outlet, and took a simple comment of " Do what you need to do" as an all access pass to charge whatever he wanted to proceed. This and many more reasons are why we would not recommend working with this company. In the review photos the all white tiles are the ultimate final backsplash product.

The initial reason for me to call Kenmark is because there are couple leaking points close to my…read morewindow. Given no one knows where is the root cause and everything is in the wall, I called couple companies for fixing solutions. Kenmark is the only one I felt the solution is reasonable and I have confident they can fix that. Then I hired them for the work. So far, everything is good. It has been couple rains, but hasn't leaked yet. So I also offered another project to them, rebuild my balcony. Everything looks good, my neighbor also wants to hire them to rebuild the balcony. I will not hesitate to recommend Kenmark to my friends.

Recently contacted this service to have a shower door installed in our home. This was a brand new…read moreshower so all that needed to happen was the install of the shower we bought. Full disclosure in that the door we got was a bit to large for the shower and in the space we have it would have opened just about 1/2 way before hitting the toilet .. ken did point this out . We were clear that we wanted him to still use this door and this was something we could figure out in the future for bathroom layout. It took ken 7 hours and in that time he managed to ONLY get the frame of the door on. Red flags immediately were him asking for masking tape, shop vac and lastly CRAZY GLUE ... several hours into the project it was very clear he was struggling with this job. The banging, dropping of pieces and literal hammering (nothing in this job should have been hammered) went on and on. He ended up calling us down to say our door was cheap junk. He tried to crazy glue the pivot pin to keep it in place. He ended up breaking pieces of glass off the bottom of the door (found shards all over the bathroom floor), put big scratch on our regular wood bathroom door, scratched a brand new shower head. Told us we should return the shower door. How is this going to happen when he's cut the frame, put caulk on pieces (I found caulk all over and even on a chair outside the shower area), broken the glass on the bottom edge from likely repeated dropping of the door?! He came up from the basement wet from apparently turning the shower on himself. I can't even imagine how he did that. He had to be told no less than 5 times by my husband that he was "done here" as he kept saying he wanted to come back and "finish" the job. I wouldn't let him come into My house again for any level of job!!! Be very very careful about what you are hiring him for!!!

Before the project even started our screen doors (2) were falling out and they got new doors ordered. Remember that early thaw -- they got started then -- they didn't wait until spring, which we really appreciated. The crew showed up when they were scheduled, and often times worked later than we expected. There were even a few weekends they worked. They took away the dumpsters when filled, workers were respectful of both our property and ourselves, and they kept the worksite clean by straightening up every evening. When the project was done (we are 95 percent done), I saw them out with a magnet to pick up loose nails and screws, as well as sweeping up debris.
