We recently moved into a house and this was our first time hiring a plumber. That being said, it…read morewas daunting to decide who we wanted to go with. Jay from Norman's Home Improvements made the decision easier for us, as he was thoughtful and willing to discuss our possible plumbing issues right away, before even booking an appointment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Norman's to anyone who was looking for assistance. Our experience was a good one, and our issue was resolved with one visit. The total cost was especially reasonable, and we feel we learned a lot in the process - it is always a great thing when someone is willing to explain things to you and answer questions, versus just completing the job. I reached out to numerous plumbers and companies, but Jay's response stood out right away. While most people were happy to give me a (fairly high) ballpark quote which left me wondering if I would be taken advantage of for my lack of plumbing knowledge, Jay was happy to discuss the possibilities of why our kitchen sink had stopped working for no apparent reason ahead of time, before even booking an appointment. He was able to come take a look at our sink just a couple of days later, on a Friday evening. He spent some time discussing the plumbing of our house with us in general, which was extremely helpful as we only moved a few weeks ago. He was happy to answer questions and make sure we understood things, which we really appreciated. He was professional and explained the cost ahead of time after diagnosing the issue and prior to completing additional work beyond the base service fee for the visit. Norman's Home Improvements was a good first experience for us, and I would gladly hire them in the future for additional work. In addition to plumbing, they also do work on electrical, HVAC, and carpentry. We would highly recommend Norman's and we especially appreciated the willingness to not only perform the work but explain the process to us as well.

They also do upholstery and the pieces they had around the shop were gorgeous. Keep this in mind if you want a bit of an upgrade but don't want to buy an entirely new piece.

I love them - they are just the right size for my home. They moved with me from Chicago to Milwaukee in near perfect condition...and then I got a dog. She got bored one day and decided to take it out on one of those chairs. She claimed the other as her spot in the living room for comfy afternoon naps. I finally decided it was time to get them fixed, and I cannot tell you how happy I am with the outcome - the process was seamless, I completed a form online, emailed a few times about cost, brought my chairs to the place, picked out a fabric, received a quote by email, and three weeks later - paid and picked up the chair. Worth every penny to have these chairs back in peak condition for years to come.

Phew! Drywalling is quite the ordeal! We just had a big two-week project completed, and it was a…read moresolid overall experience with The Patch Boys. Michael was extremely attentive, quick to take the project on, paid very close attention to detail, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. The overall professionalism and communication from him, and the team members he brought on, was very appreciated. We were kind of in a rush to get our basement renovations rolling, so as soon as we finished the framing and insulating ourselves, we inquired with Patch Boys to come in for a full drywall install and finish. Within a day or two Michael came by to assess the entire layout, inquire about details, and discuss what the process would look like. We heard back from him a few days later with a very well laid-out quote that included descriptions of each step/phase. He answered my additional questions and we were happy with the pricing, so as soon as we paid the deposit they set up a date to begin. From start to finish it was just about two weeks for the ~1500 sq/ft project. The team was very thoughtful about any mess coming in and out of our home, always sure to properly cover and prepare everything. This job is quite the mess, especially when it came to the heavy amount of sanding required for the smooth texture towards the end. It was great to see their care in the clean up. (Note however, that this dust really travels around so you'll likely have to do some additional cleaning of your own in other areas of the home, as we did). Even when it came to the end of the project, there were minor tweaks and changes that Michael thought were needed to really perfect everything, and we definitely appreciated that attention to detail & willingness to correct what was needed. A great experience overall. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again, or recommend them to others!
