I've hired M & M Home Repair twice: March 2019 and January 2021 to fix broken backyard fence both…read moretimes. Here are pros & cons and my advice if you are thinking of hiring them. PROS + Mike tries to address the cause of the problem. I have lost a total of 7 fence posts in the past 5 years because they rot. Mike used the Rotbloc Wrap to prevent the posts from rotting under the ground. + Mike was able to give me a free estimate and repaired my face. There were delays but he did it in the end. I tried to get a quote from big names in town, but I couldn't. CONS -Both times when I hired Mike, there was a problem with details, some big, some small. First time (2019), his crew fixed my fence but didn't do a good job. He had to come back to fix it himself. Second time (2021), I notice that one of the posts was longer and a few of them were shorter than other posts. He fixed the post that was too long, but there was nothing that could be done with the two posts that are too short (by about 6 inches). ADVICE *Make sure to inspect the site when they are done to make sure everything looks good. *Get quotes from other contractors. I found out later that a Yelper friend of mine in town hired a different contractor and paid less than half of what I paid. I could be comparing apples and oranges, but both he and I had 4 posts replaced in January 2021. Send me a private message if you want to know who my Yelp friend used. *Pay cash/check. There's a 3.9% processing fee for credit card payments. Overall, I'm happy with M & M, and I think I will use them again. However, I would definitely get a quote from other contractors first. ************************************************************ Don't forget to like my review (useful and/or cool)!

We bought a home in Bellingham last year that was in need on some serious TLC. We got in contact…read morewith mike based on his reviews and decided to hire his services because he was the most responsive contractor we spoke with. His price was very reasonable and he was up front on the work needed. We ended up doing a lot more work to the house with Mike since the work he was doing was great and we were happy. A few of the things we did: Painted house ext. changed flooring in 2/3 of our home, painted house int. Fixed a moldy wall. Amongst lots of other small changes and fixes. Will recommend!

Mark and Yuri did an excellent job with an emergency remodel of our very large master bathroom last…read moresummer, after we discovered the shower pan had been leaking since its installation five years earlier (different contractor). Mark, the owner, responded promptly when I called to request an estimate. He was polite and informative when he came to assess the work needed, and he turned the estimate around within a very few days. We were so pleased by Mark's ability and willingness to not only do the tile work, but also to do the rather extensive work needed to replace some joists, framing and subflooring that had suffered water damage over the years the leak was undetected. It was more than he'd been able to see when he provided the estimate, and I suspect more than he really wanted to do! Fortunately, he had warned us that there might be extra costs and time involved once we were able to see the full extent of the damage under the floors. He built allowances for that into the contract, and we felt that the additional costs and time were more than reasonable. (He was incredibly fair and worked with us to save costs where he could--it really impressed us!) The tile work itself was done beautifully, and we have complete confidence that there will be no leaks in our future. Mark was a great communicator and was very responsive to our questions and concerns throughout the process. He and Yuri cleaned up after themselves at the end of every day, arrived on time, and worked their guts out from the time they got here until the time they left every day. We recommend Elephant Tile wholeheartedly and without reservation, and they will be our tiler of choice for any future projects. If you're able to snag them for your project, consider yourself lucky!

He is a jack of all trades and does quality work, provides transparent, up front pricing for his bids. He openly communicates when any issues arise, and will work with sub contractors when a project need is outside his scope. We plan to bring him in again for a bathroom remodel later this year. Highly recommend!

They did a great job helping decide on our three colors and had suggestions that improved the look we were looking for. Bill had a competitive price and was straight forward to deal with.

The showroom was great, Mike helped us pick out great LVP and carpet, and then as the job was started, the lockdown hit! Morris managed to manage the ever changing restrictions, and also rolled with the punches when our flooring came up and revealed a pretty wonky surface underneath. They levelled the floor like pros - it's amazing the amount of work they did! Could not be happier. We couldn't even be there, as we live in Canada, and the border was closed, preventing us from getting to our Cabin at Mt. Baker, they did the whole thing remote, sending us photos. Could not give a bigger thumbs up for the entire crew at Morris Floors!
