I probably retained just enough information to do my next project solo and call him when things go awry. He helped me plan out my semi bathroom renovation telling me exactly what would be needed.

Wide variety of trades and has completed tricky projects on everything from flooring to plumbing to painting to electrical for us. He shows up when he says he's going to, his rates are always fair, he is a great problem solver, his work is super clean and you never have to look over your shoulder wondering if he's taking advantage of you. In a city that sometimes seems full of charlatans and contractors that claim to be experts and really aren't, Mike is a rare find. Just leave a little time to book him as he is always busy (most good contractors are!) I highly recommend his services.

We bought a foreclosure in Beacon Hill that was a disaster. It was totally unlivable and everyone…read morethought we were crazy for thinking we could renovate it except Matt. He was confident he could pull it off and his assurance was a relief. It seemed like every corner we turned there was a problem with asbestos, old pipes, structural floor damage or wiring in the way. Matt was extremely adaptive and creative on the fly. His communication through everything was our saving grace. From steam pipes in the way or the floors caving in, it was extremely impressive to watch the solutions come into play. He had pipes rerouted or removed altogether and completely re-framed portions of our floors. One part of the floor was a brick floor over a basement that had started to cave in. Matt knocked out all the loose brick and poured a slab that tied into the solid brick. I had no idea how a giant hole in our brick floor was going to be fixed but he adapted seemingly without a hitch in the entire project. I would highly recommend Matt and his company Exedra!

Matt is amazing; I could not recommend his services more! My husband and I knew Matt through a…read morefriend and hired him to renovate our NYC apartment (kitchen and 2 bathrooms) after seeing the incredible work he's done on other projects, including his own homes. Matt is a true partner throughout the process, and gave me great advice every step of the way. This was my first remodeling experience, and his guidance was both invaluable and comforting - I felt like I was in really good hands. He worked closely with me in designing our space, and then handled every single aspect of our renovation - from sourcing materials, to demolition, to coordinating with the plumber and electrician, to installing our kitchen cabinets and appliances, and re-tiling and re-grouting both of our bathrooms with new fixtures and lighting. My apartment is pre-war and therefore a little tricky when it comes to making things look level and even, however, Matt figured out how to make everything look flawless and brand new. He always remained within my budget, and continually offered solutions for how to trim costs or source materials for less. Matt is also incredibly responsive; he and I communicated frequently throughout the day when he was working in my apartment, which I really appreciated. He was a pleasure to work with, and I definitely plan on hiring Matt again if I move (although he's made my current space so wonderful, I'm not sure that will happen any time soon!). Matt is a total professional - his work turns out beautifully, and he's a pleasure to work with.

I had a great experience with Andrew from start to finish. After going through Yelp to get a quote…read morefor installing a tile back-splash in my kitchen, he was very responsive in setting up an appointment for a walk-through and an estimate. His estimate was reasonable for the amount of work to be done and very competitive with estimates I had already received from five other contractors. Andrew and his assistant Matt took about two days to transform my kitchen into something really sharp. Andrew was very thorough and even took care of some odds and ends that were left by the builder (and previous contractor who installed the counter top). Also, Andrew was very neat - he covered the counter top to avoid any damage or stains and swept the floor after both days of working. After they left, you would never know that two people were sawing tiles and working with grout and tile adhesive all day. I wouldn't hesitate to book Andrew for any other jobs I need done around the apartment. It was a five-star experience from start to finish and I'm glad I found the Handy Andy Squad.

Johnny not only laid the tile meticulously, he and his crew were scrupulously clean. On the strength of that great work, we decided to engage Johnny for other finishing projects in the room: painting, installing a stacked slate treatment on the walls, etc ... he went far beyond and way above our expectations and we are thrilled to be able to entrust future projects to his professional & methodical approach to his business. We enthusiastically give Johnny's Tile and Carpentry our highest possible recommendation and would give 10 stars if it were possible! We are now engaging Johnny & his crew on a paver patio project and eventually some in home remodels when the budget recovers!

I would absolutely recommend him for any projects you have, you will not be disappointed. It's hard to find honest trustworthy resources for construction work in your time and Steve is definitely all of those things. We hope to continue working with him on all future projects/needs in our home. I included some photos of the tile he replaced for us as well as the solution he created for a rain shower in our master bath.

They've done smaller scale plumbing, electrical, moved and converted a door (including the framing, advice on conversion to a pocket door, drywall, finish), extended a roof and did the gutter, fixed an improperly installed sink, installed a murphy bed, hung a large screen and blackboard, ... At this point it's hard to remember what all they've done. We like that they will be thoughtful of our needs and come up with ideas we did not think of ourselves. Examples: While fixing and reinforcing a roof access they advised us on adding a lock to the hatch to make sure that nobody can get in from the outside. While removing a wall and moving the related electrical they rerouted one of the outlets into the cellar which is missing enough outlets.
