I know Phil from a Facebook group of handymen 4,000 strong. His posts and comments within that group are helpful and polite. The only way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Sometimes it helps to have friends. YELP is becoming famous for allowing REVIEW BULLY'S to push people around. You may notice a 1-star review of Phil's business from, shall we say, a "KAREN". If you log in to YELP, and drill down on this reviewer's profile, you will see she is quite generous in dispensing 1-star reviews. As I understand it, this KAREN had a temper-tantrum when Phil decided to pass on a confusing, faxed, request, from someone out of town.

M&X put in a new sprinkler system and a fence for us here in Hampton Cove. The fence, and…read moreespecially the HOA required columns, are second to none! Solid and beautiful!

There was no damage to the tiles that made them unusable. In places where there was a slight chip, we ended up using that specific tile for one of the cut pieces. They were soooo easy to work with and endured my being particular about the arrangement of the tile. They also installed crown molding and molding around my counter top (they even further stabilized it in a way I didn't know it needed for no charge). All of this was done for a very reasonable price and as I mentioned, swiftly. From demo to finishing touches, it took less than 3 days worth of work. I'd highly recommend them and if I have tile work in the future, they'll be the first I reach out to.

Peter came out and gave me a quote right away. It was very reasonable for the work to be done…read more We texted back and forth about the product to use on our deck. With his help and my research, we decided on Behr Premium Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Stain and Sealer (It is supposed to last 6 years on horizontal surfaces. Hope it will.) Peter did an unbelievable job prepping the deck by pressure washing. We had a lot of mildew in the shaded areas and he took great care to get it all before sealing the deck. Our HVAC guy came that afternoon and thought we had a new deck. Peter's crew did a great job of the deck, the railings, and the support edges for the deck. Everything is smooth and the deck looks brand new. We have 8X10 rough cut lumber from an old cotton warehouse in Huntsville that is 150 Years old that we used 50 years ago when we built the house for beams and support on our front porch. The lumber really needed lots of TLC and it was lovingly provided to keep this piece of history alive for us.

Whitaker remodeling redid my kitchen and a few items starting in February 2025. The whole project…read morewas done within our discussed timeline and the quality of work is great. They were kind enough to let me do most of the material purchasing as I did a ton of research on what I specifically wanted. I simply bought the items I wanted and they installed them per my instructions. I did order the wrong type of cabinet trim for the top so I had to reorder some new that took about 3-4 weeks to arrive. It was no problem getting them to come back out and install when the new stuff showed up so that was nice. Speaking to my eclectic design requests, they had some great sub contractors, particularly the HVAC sub, that was able to install my intense range hood setup with no issues whatsoever. The system required a makeup air vent in the attic and they installed and balanced the whole thing without issue. I'm so happy with how it turned out. Last major point was they were clean. My daughter was 1 at the time and we were battling some asthma issues (before construction) and the team did their best to seal up the kitchen from the rest of the house and keep it clean. There was a ton of dust production, because drywall work = dust, and the mess was kept to a minimum each day. Overall, I would highly recommend Whitaker Remodeling. They were affordable, respectful, and clean.

It pains me to finally breakdown and write that we STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND Whitaker Remodeling!!!…read more We selected them to lead a remodel of our dream home. Unfortunately, they walked away from our renovation leaving it incomplete and forcing us to need to find new contractors to finish a job they started over a year after they started!!! They did reasonably quality work, but fell about a month BEHIND because of the painting subcontractor that they brought in to complete the interior paint for our remodel!! To start, their painting subcontractor decided not to use any sort of tinted primer and went on the less expensive side of Sherwin Williams paint for the job. As a result the coverage was poor and it took more coats than planned (4 in some rooms). Whitaker Remodeling and their painting subcontractor even had the audacity to ask for more money because of this issue they caused by electing not to use any sort of tinted primer... which would have absolutely resolved the coverage issues. I was accommodating and agreed to pay a bit more (~$800) to cover the additional paint and supplies. This was the start of a series of issues related to painting that set us way behind on this job and ultimately a very poor experience with Whitaker Remodeling and their crews. Whitaker started the job in late April, 2023 knowing we needed to move into the home at the end of July. We had to pay an exorbitant amount of "week to week rent" costing almost $2000 when our temporary housing lease expired at the end of July because the job wasn't complete. When we finally moved in, among other incomplete work, we had no functional sink in our kitchen and appliances were there but not hooked up. They continued to work on our job sporadically and at random times when available into early October 2023. They just fell so far behind because of their painting subcontractor that took almost a month longer than scheduled that it caused scheduling conflicts for them and our job became a lesser priority. The last time they showed up to work they only worked a few hours and said they weren't feeling well and would be back. Among other issues, they installed the incorrect cabinet above our refrigerator and explained that the correct depth cabinet was missing from our cabinet order. I gave them the go ahead to do so because we didn't want to fall further behind on the renovation. At around Thanksgiving time 2023 I found the correct cabinet STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX in our garage... so the correct one was here the entire time!!! After not hearing from them for a month (early October to late November) we reached out and asked what was going on and explained that we found the cabinet and wanted to know when they would be back to replace the cabinet with the correct one, finish our backsplash, install our crown mounding and pot filler, reinstall the binds removed for painting, finish some drywall repairs, clean up paint spilled by the painters on our new hardwood floors, and clean up and replace some other miscellaneous things. They initially told me to order another cabinet face for the cabinet that they installed in error (costing me another $175 plus shipping for their error) and advised that they'd be in touch to schedule and finish everything up. Then, a week or so later they texted and advised that they'd keep us on the schedule but that they understood if we needed to get someone else out to finish up. I immediately called to speak with them and the conversation was cordial. Again, they said they felt bad that it was dragging on and were okay if we wanted to find another contractor to finish. I explained that at this point we were already into the holiday season (Thanksgiving and Christmas) and that we were satisfied with the quality of work and preferred that they finish even if it was after the holidays. They again said that they'd look to work us into the schedule to wrap up. We checked in with them in December, January, February, and March... and in April 2024 at their request sent them the final list of all open items. The request for this list left us feeling like they were finally going to finish up. Unfortunately, they went completely silent after a few texts in June 2024... OVER A YEAR AFTER STARTING OUR REMODEL that was supposed to be completed by the end of July 2023!!! We haven't heard from them since. My only advice is that they do decent work, but DO NOT pay any amount until they complete your job. DO NOT agree to any sort of "pay as you go" agreement, even if it seems fair. If you pay as you go they take their time and feel no obligation... so will walk off your job if they get behind schedule too much and scheduling becomes inconvenient for them. I can only surmise that they figure they've gotten paid and owe you nothing... and will leave you looking for new contractors to finish what they started!!! USE WHITAKER REMODELING AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
