Once we settled on one, the build time was fast and we were updated on ETA. Delivery and installation was done quickly. It looks great and is sturdy.

We just moved into a new house and wanted custom shades in our living room. We loved working with…read moreBob, he was extremely flexible and helpful as we were picking out our shades. We particularly appreciated his patience as I had gone back-and-forth with our decision multiple times. He even came back again to show us his selections when I wanted to redo our picks. He has something for all budgets. The shades came in about four weeks and he came in the next day to install them. When we had a small issue with one of the mounts, he was willing to come the same day to fix it. I would highly recommend him for anybody looking for custom shades!

Since they were custom made I was concerned that I would either have to return them, which would have been difficult, or be stuck with chairs that were too tall and virtually useless. In a panic, I looked up welding professionals and found Blue Garage Machining and Welding. Dan did a fantastic job trimming the legs on these chairs -- he was precise, fast and affordable! Thank you, Dan for saving my chairs! I will definitely use Blue Garage for all my future welding needs.

I hated to toss the gate, just because of that, but no one wants to do small jobs anymore. So, I search until I found Nick; he did a great job, and even spray painted it so you can't even see the repair. If you have a small job(I'm sure he does larger jobs too), and want it done right, look him up.

I highly recommend Sykes for your outdoor railings. They do beautiful work in a timely manner and…read moretheir rates are reasonable. My husband and I were so impressed with the owner of this company and everyone we came into contact with from the office manager, Lisa, to the gentleman he had helping him. They were all professional and polite. Most importantly, we love how sturdy the railings are and how great they look! If you are looking for a banister/railing you can call this company with confidence.

He had my railings for over a year and the day of install, two of the railings looked like someone painted them with a mop or broom, and the other two were unfinished!!! Tap cons for concrete, and used 4 inch plates for a 3 3/4 wide piece of wood , which split the wood. Also used "blue" screws on black railings. Contacted another company and I'm going to have to have all new railings made and installed. Would never, ever recommend this company.

Five enthusiastic stars!…read more A water leak from above my home office caused some damage to the ceiling and wall. The cause was remediated but the dampness in the room was not improving. We called MasterTech Environmental for an air quality test and moisture assessment. Tom Duff was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The air quality test showed no airborne mold, but the dampness in the ceiling was of concern. His team came out to remove parts of the drywall to assess for mold. Trace amounts of black mold were uncovered along with quite a bit of white mold. The team quickly removed all affected drywall and insulation. When I tell you these guys are thorough and work clean, I mean it. Tony, etc were meticulous with closing off the affected areas for safety and ensuring no mess was left behind. There wasn't an ounce of dust anywhere. It was as if they were never here! MasterTech Environmental does not replace the dry wall, but they recommended an incredibly reliable contractor who did. He also worked exceptionally clean and had my office back to normal in 2 days. Diane in the office is a sweetheart and her communication was second to none. She kept me updated on everything and ensured I received detailed reports complete with photos for insurance claims. Pricing was upfront and fair and they provide a 5 year guarantee on their work. I cannot recommend this wonderful business enough. They will take excellent care of you and your home!

While I wanted to get it fixed the prices I was given by other supposedly reputable companies in the area were astronomical. I delayed until I was given a realistic estimate from Mastertech. That is not to say it was cheap but reasonable by comparison. I was especially impressed when getting my estimate that I was being listened to and not talked at. The guys who came to my house were friendly and professional. They sent up a containment area so the rest of the house was safe from the work area. It only took a few days to clean out and clean up 40+ years of stuff in the basement. Now I have a perfectly clean and empty basement. Oh ,and I have a certificate stating my house was clean. Now for a side note to people like me who honestly don't know what you got till it's gone.....I will say that you must (let me emphasize this) must know what you want to keep before they start clearing out your stuff. They will save what you say you want to keep and anything they deem valuable like silverware or family photos If they can. They we're thorough and I was naive and didn't think they would toss out my closed plastic bins of media or a sculpture I made. This is not their fault. What one seems valuable is subjective and I should have been more diligent in checking on what I wanted to keep. Now, let's all have a moment of silence for the gargoyle I made in high school. They did an excellent job making my basement and crawl space mold free.
