Started out ok Tom seemed knowledgeable with a reasonable estimate. He was asked to install rolled…read morevinyl, replace trim, prime and paint bathroom walls ceiling and trim. When he came to inspect for estimate he recommended luan over the floor. When it came time to actually install the vinyl it was clear that he did not review the manufacturer recommendation. He kept wanting to do a loose lay or perimeter only bond. The manufacturer was clear that it was a full spread glue down. I called and emailed the manufacturer to verify and shared the information with him including the full documentation of how to install the floor. He didn't want to use primer before the glue. He didn't make the proper relief cuts leaving the site with vinyl going up the side of the wall and tub. I did make the cuts after he left when I noticed it and pushed the glue out. After gluing down the floor he said it might bubble up due to the vdc from the underlying vinyl floors I commented maybe that's why they recommended a primer. He also recommended putting the luan over the other two vinyl floors when he could have recommended complete tear out of the underlying floors. We discussed putting more sub floor under the bathtub as there was a gap that wasn't previously shimmed. He later spray foamed under/inside the tub without asking me first. I advised him that my previous tub cracked due to the use of spray foam and that I hope this spray foam doesn't do the same. When it came to the finish paint there were a number of run, paint on the window, light, bathtub, and cabinets that were not intended to be painted. I cleaned some of it up with rubbing alcohol. At this point I was not pleased with the workmanship because it lacked craftsmanship. I know my 10 year old could do a better job painting. I advised Tom that I would find someone else to complete the trim and fix the other concerns I brought up. He was upset and let me know that he felt he wasn't done with the job. I let him know that I don't want him back to the house. I give 2 stars because maybe he would have done better but I really couldn't afford to have someone continue that I would have to constantly supervise and point out that paint shouldn't be left to run or that relief cuts should be made before glueing down vinyl not after the glue dries.

Matt and his crew do the "good work" I call it--they really do care about their product and go about doing it the right way.

We will defiantly be using them again for more projects down the road and can't recommend them enough.

I am an 89 year old woman with Leukemia who needed an additional handrail from my living room to my…read morebasement for safety. I searched YELP for a handyman service who could help me. I contacted Swegles Quality Handyman Service through YELP for a quote. A Matt Swegle came out July 9th, 2026 to measure and check the job out. I told Mr. Swegle that Barry County Lumber, the local lumber and hardware store, had the railing I wanted for $90 plus wall fasteners. At no time during my interactions with Mr. Swegle did I say I wanted the 'cheapest railing available.' I said that I wanted a "matching railing with the one I already had installed." Mr. Swegle quoted $365.00 for the job. I had no other quotes for the railing and installation, but I told Mr. Swegle that I considered that quote very high for the work. After Mr. Swegle's employee finished the work, I was surprised and upset to discover an unfinished dowel rod railing installed which did not match the other railing at all. I contacted Mr. Swegle and asked when they were coming to varnish the handrail and finish the job. Mr. Swegle became very angry and proceeded to scream at me over the phone that "You asked for the cheapest!" At no time did I say the words "the cheapest" in regards to the railing. I had asked for "a matching railing" After telling Mr. Swegle this, I was told it would be an additional $50-$100 to return to finish the job and varnish the railing.

He was at my location at the time he stated and the fee came in exactly at what he estimated. Point four, his work was impeccable and beyond reproach.

We recently purchased our forever home and the stairs to the basement were horribly steep and even…read moredangerous. We walked away from this house once because of that, but when the house came back on the market, we knew this was the home for us! We purchased it "eyes wide open" knowing we had to do something with the stairs. We spoke to a lot of knowledgeable people who all said the same thing. This would be a challenging job because the stairs would have to be demolished and rebuilt, but we still only had the space that was there to get the correct rise and tread sizes, which would impact the head space at the bottom. In other words, a tall person would have to duck...and this would never do! I had three carpenters look at my stairs. The first carpenter shook his head and said he had no clue where to start. The second carpenter was Brian from B&C, who I found through an online search and was blown away by their great reviews and the pictures of their amazing work! Brian immediately started calculating available space, and thinking outside the box. His knowledge and transparency inspired me to have great confidence in him and his price was super reasonable! The third carpenter came across as this being not a great challenge, which I knew better, and proceeded to give me a price that was nearly double of Brian's. So, our choice was clear. Brian had pre construction meetings with us to keep us apprised of his plans, as well as meetings during the construction. After calculating and brainstorming with his crew, he said he could reframe the ceiling at the bottom to give more head space. He also discussed cutting into and reframing the top landing to get additional space. Brian kept us informed each step of the way and his craftsmanship was impressive. We started the work on November 1, with our only deadline being completed before Thanksgiving. Brian completed our work in about 10 days! While I did post a couple of finished photos, B&C's websites will have good before and after pictures. I wholeheartedly recommend B&C for any carpentry job. You will get honesty, integrity, transparency, great communication, fair pricing and old fashioned craftsmanship!

I moved into a 1960s-70s home and soon had a basement main drain clog. I chose Allen's Plumbing based on their high ratings. They arrived on time but immediately began criticizing my real estate agent and home inspector, boasting about decades of experience. He spent less than 30 minutes with a snake, claimed it could not go past 50 ft, and pulled out only a small amount of debris and fine roots--about the size of a fist--yet dramatically acted as if my sewer was severely damaged. On-site, he pressured me to call my agent, rudely criticized them over the phone, and claimed I had only two options: dig up the basement or the yard, costing about $5,000. He insisted the pipe was broken and needed replacing, and charged $265 for the day's "work." He then called in another company with a camera (Kowski's Sewer Service), quoting another $250. This second company was equally unprofessional, failed to locate the blockage, and suggested I check with insurance about replacement. They also damaged my drain plug and left a filthy mess. The next day, through my teacher's contact, I hired another plumber--professional, clean, and determined. He used a snake to go 100 ft, removed a long arm's-length mass of debris, and found the real culprit: a clump of wet wipes. Problem solved without any pipe replacement. Clearly, my pipe was not broken. Allen's Plumbing exploits customers' lack of technical knowledge to push unnecessary major repairs. This is unprofessional and shameful. Businesses like this will not last long. I will continue to post reviews and file complaints on other platforms to warn others and prevent more people from being deceived and losing their money.
