Jeff has now done two major projects at our house. First, he finished off an unfinished portion of…read moreour basement and made a master bedroom, walk in closet, and full bathroom. Yesterday, he completed the remodel of our kitchen - tearing out walls and opening up our kitchen and living room. I will never hire anyone ever again to do work on our house. He communicates extremely well, checks in appropriately, and truly takes great pride in every single detail of his work. The work in both of our areas was just like watching one of those TV shows - super fast, super clean, and in the least intrusive way as possible. If there were more than 5 stars, I would give it to him. We found Jeff randomly a few years ago - he came and repaired our chimney that was falling apart. He was the first one to respond to my request and the job was completed extremely well and fast. I didn't know him at all before he did our chimney - and the rest is now history. You will NOT be dissatisfied, I promise!!!!

We contacted Jeff at Hawthorne Remodeling through Thumbtack. He came out, gave us a quote, talked…read moreabout his other skills, and got hired. Jeff is communicative, ethical, and good at what he does. We had laminate flooring installed. I can't say enough how happy we are with our new floors! Our next project is replacing our existing countertops with quartz. Jeff has a contact to order them and he will install them. Can't wait!

We had Terry remodel our 1940s bathroom - electrical, plumbing, tile, tub, painting, toilet, sink,…read morelighting, cabinet, exhaust fan, grab bars, counter, plaster repair - the works! It's now been about 4 months since he finished the work and each day I look at our new bathroom and think "wow!' He did a great job! He was patient and always responsive to any questions or issues, and cleaned up each day. Great workmanship too. He started out by measuring and answering any questions we had, offering ideas here and there but letting us make our own decisions. Unlike some other contractors, he did not give fancy 3D architectural renderings, nor did he accompany us to each supplier to pick out products. Here's what his process was, which was perfect for us. We received a proposal contract which listed each item or task, along with a cost allowance for each item. If we chose something more expensive than its allowance, the final price would reflect the increase. If what we chose cost less than the allowance, the final cost would go down by that much. So we had a bottom line price from the start and would have the final decision on expenses. He then also gave us a list of his suggested suppliers from which to pick out all of the products. We worked with those suppliers to make selections at their respective showrooms (they work with TLC regularly), and they forwarded our selections to Terry. A few selections we made were from suppliers not on his list, which was fine, but the places he suggested were where most of the items came from. When all selections were made, he provided us with a revised proposal contract reflecting our selections and revised costs. Then he - not us - did the ordering from each vendor to insure that all of the parts and pieces fit together and would work, plus that way his contractor discount was applied. His final contract to us was transparent and showed all prices. No additional markups, no change order fees, no nonsense. If someone wants computer-generated architectural renderings, having him present at each supplier meeting, one central showroom where every needed product and samples are all in one place, then this type of contractor isn't likely for you. If however, you want a remodeling contractor that not only provides the quote but also does the actual work himself, with reliable suppliers that work with him, with a fair price and a minimal amount of stress (if that's possible lol), then TLC's a good choice. Would we recommend TLC Contracting? If you haven't it already guessed: the answer is absolutely!

I scheduled five projects with Mr. Handyman of Waukesha, but only two were completed to my…read moresatisfaction, one of which was a difficult job that I was pleased with. The remaining three projects were not completed.  Two projects were declined on-site due to "code issues", which should have been identified and communicated during the estimating process and not included in the original quote.  The fifth project was dismissed with the explanation that nothing could be done. Despite no work being performed on three of the five projects, I was charged with the full estimate of $940 for just 4 hours of labor.  Charging for work that wasn't performed is unacceptable.   In addition, the technician arrived 75 late and his demeanor throughout the visit was rude and unprofessional.  He did not demonstrate the level of skill or professionalism I expect from a trained technician. Based on the incomplete work, the unexpected charges, and the unprofessional conduct, I cannot recommend this company.

He made my husband drive him to an ATM to get this money. On the day he was supposed to do the job, he cancelled when he was supposed to actually do the job.

He said that he forgot his supplies and asked his to drive him to the hardware store since he couldn't go back home and get them. Seriously?!?! He was not wearing a mask. Smoking outside the house even though we have little kids around. Then tried to charge us extra money to paint the area he dry-walled white even though it dries white and didn't require any paint. Would absolutely not hire again.
