We had 5 companies come out to provide proposals on a number of projects ( bathroom, lighting, new window, insulation, instant hot water heater... I pretty certain this guy can do everything) we wanted done in our new Marigny home. Thao provided the most comprehensive response and great solutions on how to proceed. His prices are reasonable and his work ethic is truly the best. He communicates with you throughout the project. He made excellent suggestions on things we hadn't considered and stayed 3 steps ahead of our needs. I'm keeping his number on speed dial. Thank you, Thao, for everything! read more

This company was fabulous. My son wanted to learn some things and Thao was gracious in teaching him the finer parts while finishing the floor in record time. Will definitely call for the next project. Quick, clean, gracious and professional. read more

I felt super lucky to find Thao and his team to do a complete renovation of my kitchen and bathroom, as well as a freshen up on the rest of my one bedroom condo. He always went above and beyond what I asked for, making wise suggestions for solving construction/plumbing/electrical issues that needed solutions. His quote was reasonable and he stuck to it, even when my punch list grew longer. I highly recommend him and his Prizm team and hope to collaborate on another project together. read more

I hired this company for a small project. Let me first say, getting anyone to show up on time these days or showing up on the day they are supposed to getting extremely hard! This company did, due to the forcast, i was asked to wait a week, but that next week, they confirmed the appt, I didn't have to call them they called me. Not only were they on time, they were early and ready to work within 5 minutes of being at my residence. They were efficient and managed the job and their time well. Affordable and respectful, I will definitely trust them with another job. Job description: Sanding, filling in cracks, and repainting my back door. read more

Prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and very highly skilled professional services. I found Thao on Yelp and consider him one of luckiest and best finds via this website in years. I can heartily recommend his company for all possible "handyman" services." He hung my antique mirrors, art work, and pictures with skill and an eye toward the aesthetically minded. He and his partner Brian also fixed my light fixture, hung a chandelier, assembled a very bothersome table with 100 parts, created a headboard for my guest room, and so much more; They work fast and clean and are well-read, upbeat, brilliantly mannered conversationalists. They also went beyond to make repairs when I had the wrong parts, including running to Lowes and fitting me into their schedule when I had last minute repair problems. They even helped with my Christmas tree. I can highly recommend them to anyone. read more

My husband and I initially hired Thao to renovate the bathroom on our rental side and had an amazing experience. The work was done quickly with high quality and at a great price. Following the bathroom renovation, we also hired Thao to complete renovations on the owner side of our property (after a different contractor ditched the job). Our timeline was tight and once again, Thao was able to meet the deadline and was beyond patient with our frequent questions and last minute requests/changes. I highly recommend Thao to anyone looking for quality work on big or small house projects. read more

This being my first major home renovation project, I found the process of finding a reputable as affordable contractor daunting and overwhelming. After a few meetings with some "big-name" contractors, the quotes were way out of my price range. Then, I found "Thao's Home Improvement" on Yelp. He arrived for our meeting on time. He took time to listen to my vision of my renovations and was able to let me know what was feasible with my budget. He even offered ideas in how maximize space to create a light and airy bathroom, despite the lack of space. My entire home is less than 900 sq feet. In the end, I decided to go with another contractor because of the time constraints. (Thao said he couldn't start on my project for six weeks due to his schedule). But I wish I had gone with Thao because I'm confident the project would have been completed by now. read more

I have had several recent bad experiences with contractors in New Orleans, so it was wonderful to find someone honest and reliable. Prism Construction recently replaced all the siding, added house wrap, and painted my single shotgun home. Workmen showed up when they said they would. They were polite, as neat as one could expect. Work was completed in a timely fashion and the quality of the work seems excellent. Thao was responsive to questions, my add ons, and correction of the few issues in final walk-through. The price seemed fair. Overall a very positive experience. read more

We hired Thao to install security cameras at our home, at our four rental properties, install two commercial exterior spotlights at our commercial building, and some sheetrock work. He's reliable, punctual, easy to work with, meticulous, he has pride in the work he does, and he cleans up after himself. We are very pleased with his services and will absolutely hire him again for any future projects. We highly recommend Thao for any of your renovation needs. read more

Thao''s Home Improvements is a wonderful find for me. Thao and associate Carlos were professional, courteous, and efficient with all the work they did for me. They installed 3 overhead shelves for me, then loaded them up with all the boxes, etc so that I could park two cars in the garage. Carlos changed out an exterior kitchen vent and cleaned away extra silicone on bricks from last vent install. Then Thao and Carlos pressure washed the ceilings of my patio and balcony and did an excellent job. I highly recommend Thao's Home Improvements and will DEFINITELY be using his services again. read more

I hired this company for a total bathroom gut. My bathroom was a mess. Thao and his staff came and evaluated the bathroom and explained everything that needed to be done. I had many questions and all were answered promptly. Communication was on point. Very professional staff. Very knowledgeable and quick to get projects done. My bathroom went from a 1950's to a million $$ bathroom. They were also so kind to our inside dog Coco. That is a major plus! I will hire them again for my next project(s). I cant wait until Thao post the before and after pictures of the bathroom. read more

We wanted assistance in laying a LVP floor in a bedroom, after having done one other bedroom. It took us nearly 2 days to lay the first room, so thought by having a professional assist, it would only take one day. It actually took 5 hours, including attaching the quarter rounds and silicone to the joints in the 1/4 rounds. Very fast, we learned a lot and everything was cleared out afterwards (swept up the debris from the cuts). This was a dicey floor, as the material purchased was just enough without too much to spare. Thao and Carlos made very quick work and did it with humor and great tunes! He's planning on coming back to do some work on my bathroom. read more

We contacted Thao for some repairs to our bathroom ceiling and to repair water damage on an exterior door frame. He provided a reasonable estimate based upon photos and we scheduled the work. Thao and Carlos arrived at the agreed upon date and time and went straight to work. They did as much as they could the first day and needed time to allow some repairs to set/dry. They returned the following Monday to complete the repairs. All work was satisfactory and at the quoted price. I will contract Thao again should the need arise and recommend him to others. read more
