I don't know the full scope of what handy people can do and I kept asking "Can you do that?" and he kept saying "Yes." He replaced garage windows, repaired rotten wood, framing, door installation, etc. He also painted my garage. I have a cat tree that my dad made. It had become unstable. That cat tree has tremendous sentimental value to me and he made it stable and solid again. I'm not sure every handyman is willing to that kind of small job and Nathan said "Yes." He made my cats happy. Nathan installed living room shades. I've never had shades be so straight. I like the quality of his work so much I'm having him come over to do more work and install cabinets for me in 4-6 weeks. While he is busy and does book out I found his wait times very reasonable. One day my front door unexpectedly stopped working. Would not budge. I could not get into or out of my home. My neighbor had to help me break in through a window to get in through the side door. The next day Nathan came over and fixed it. Very impressive.

We added a bathroom, wet bar, bedroom, family room and exercise area. the construction quality and attention to detail was beyond what I'd ever seen before in residential construction. They were always willing to work with us on any timing, construction detail, quality, even custom closet design. They even came back after the construction was complete and they were paid to address a small issue we had - got it resolved quickly and very much to our satisfaction. Incredibly trustworthy - they really take pride in their work and it shows in the final product. The quality of their work is impeccable. Would hire them again in a New York minute!

I emailed two potential handymen about a simple set of jobs -- we needed the TV mounted, curtain rods hung, shelves put up, a tapestry hung. We had to emergency move and didn't have time to do those tasks ourselves -- it all would have been put off. Jeff responded right away through Yelp and then when I reached out he answered the phone and told me it would be no problem, just tell him when and where to show up. He was on time and basically told us to point at what we wanted and where -- it was amazing. In an hour, Jeff hung up two floating shelves, a tapestry, three long curtain rods and mounted our TV -- it took us 2 hours just to do the TV, so we were over the moon! He is fast, doesn't waste time and he does great work. Multiple times in the past couple of weeks, anytime we even a nail in the wall or tried to fix anything, we were like "we should have called JEFF!"

Tom was very responsive upon first contact and was able to come out to estimate the job within 1-2 days. I was very appreciative that he helped point out some areas in the living room and kitchen the were in serious need of patchwork and repairs from the previous DIY job. Within about another day I had a project estimate that I found to be very fair considering the amount of work that was required. Tom personally helped me pick the color and provided suggestions when I was unsure of paint finishes and a few minor details. Scheduling the workers was easy and Jason and Josh did a fantastic job. The wall patching was well done and the retexturing just made everything look right. They covered a living room with vaulted ceiling, kitchen with a skylight, dining room, and hallway in just a couple of days. Throughout the project Tom was communicating frequently, providing status updates. The painters cleaned up after themselves and left everything in good shape. I will definitely be contacting these guys again for my next project.

"My experience with this company was not to my satisfaction. Please contact me directly if you'd…read morelike more details." This is what I posted after I was personally messaged by the owner of SCS to edit this review. It's worth mentioning that my updated review is being posted after the owner's remarks. Please hire SCS immediately! Call them right now! I definitely did not want to update this review. When the owner of SCS contacted me privately on Yelp, asking me to change my "harmful proclomations"[sic], I thought I would simply delete my review. I could not. I did not hire SCS. After the explosion of my neighbor's house in August 2016 severely damaged my home, my partner signed a contract with Aquire Restoration of Madison. Aquire hired SCS to perform tasks to repair our house. I met several SCS employees walking through our damaged home. Several of the SCS employees were very respectful, which I mentioned in my now deleted review. It is frustrating that I, the end user of SCS's purported services, need to "bring to light" the remarkable unprofessionalism of this company. The fact that it took over a year for the company to understand the inconsistent and appalling circumstances of some of their employees' work should give you a notion of how the company is operated. Apparently the owner of SCS takes no responsibility for the work executed by the company. Rather, the blame is somehow placed on the victims of the explosion itself and SCS's actions. I have never contacted SCS directly; they were hired by our remediation company, Aquire. Awareness and oversight of the work by SCS seems to me like a responsibility of senior staff, if not the owner, of SCS. Since my Aquire Restoration Project Manager was responsible for handling all sub-contractors, I never contacted any of our many sub-contractors personally. That was specifically the remediation work that we paid Aquire to do. Since much of our property had been destroyed, my partner and I had very many things to take care of. I sincerely hope none of you reading ever have to do the same. The owner of this company seems to have focused ire on me, a humble Yelp member. I've never met nor spoken to this person. I was told the owner was Brent, a person I saw twice over 18 months, and he seemed to be a very nice guy. I only learned about this owner when I was intimidated to change my Yelp review. It was not a public response. This owner contacted me privately through Yelp. I've certainly posted negative and positive reviews on Yelp before. That's sort of the point of the platform. We want to give other Yelp users an informed opinion of a business they might patron. Often owners that receive a negative review respond with an apology and an invitation to try them again. The fact that the owner of SCS is attacking me on Yelp should give you some idea of SCS's priorities. But please, pretty please, hire SCS to work on your home! They paint! They put up drywall wherever you want (even over your electrical outlet!). They might even kick a hole into your drywall (you know, for ventilation)! Hire them now! I really wish you would pay them money now. I hope your business would make them busy enough to leave me alone.

We had a relatively simple remodel job that should have taken 2-3 weeks (Max.) to complete. It took 4 months. The workmanship was shoddy at best.

If we could go into the minus category, that would be more appropriate

I have worked with them on a variety of interior & exterior home painting and remodel projects through the years. Without fail, they completely crush it (in the best way possible) every single time I work with them for a project near the Madison and Fitchburg area. More specifically, the owners Matt and Andre have an extraordinary focus on customer care and quality that I've never seen in past painting contractors I have worked with in Madison. By all means, I ardently recommend 3rd Gen Painting for any Madison house painting or deck building needs you may have.
