    Did not show up for scheduled appointment for an estimate. Was told he would call on another day to reschedule, that did not happen either.

    Unethical and Predatory pricing and poor judgment--AVOID. ​I…read moream writing this to warn others: do not use this service unless you want to be severely overcharged. A handyman was called by my tenant to fix a hot water issue along with two minor household repairs (locks and closets). ​He charged me nearly $2,300 for a half-day of work, with $1,500 for labor alone. To make matters worse, instead of recommending a replacement for the aging water heater, he "repaired" it for a cost that would have easily covered a brand-new unit. A new unit would have also come with a full manufacturer's warranty, whereas I now have a massive bill for an old tank that could fail again tomorrow. This shows a complete lack of integrity and a focus on short-term profit over the customer's best interest. He took advantage of the situation and my tenant's urgency. Find someone honest instead.

Patient, honest, and insightful, Dan is young enough that he can lift and move around heavy things but old enough to have had years of experience. He has a good eye: he hung a lot of art for me, and often where he hung it up first was the best. He figured out a rack for skis in the primary closet! I went from closets with no shelving/one shelf in the primary bedroom closet to all closets having shelving, including my shed with garden tools, for which I said, "Can you figure it out?" And he figured out which tools could go where perfectly. He was patient whenever we hung a piece of art...and then I decided to swap it out with a different one. I pitched my ideas for closets or just a general "improve this one," and he helped me take advantage of so much unused space. He even made a removable box to cover some plumbing in my main closet to make it usable as a shelf. Most importantly, he is a wonderful human and was a pleasure to have around for two weeks. When he was waiting on me to return, he found something to do to help me! One day I came home to raked leaves! I can't recommend him highly enough. More pictures to come.

We never minded having them around! They really made our design vision come true, and their initial quote for cost was right on. The time estimate was off (took about 8 weeks instead of 3) but that's to be expected with construction (and we had some roadblocks because of how our house was built). Overall, we are very happy.

    I write this review with a very heavy heart. I feel like documenting my experience is important,…read moreso that other people know what they might be getting into in the future. First of all Costas is a great guy. Friendly and fun to talk to. His son Tony helps him out, and is really nice too. And his 87 year old father, Tony Sr., helps out too. They did various projects for me over the course of about six weeks, most of which turned out pretty well. The problem came when they went to paint a room, and this is where it got bad. I'm no fan of sloppy painting, and I told Costas this many times. "I don't want any wall paint on the varnished woodwork, and I want everything taped." He promised me repeatedly that they are very neat painters, and that they will tape everything. I repeated this conversation with Costas about four times, over the weeks leading up to when they were going to paint. Finally, the day before they were going to paint, I talked about it again. "Not a single drop of paint on that varnished woodwork, Costas." And promised to be neat, and to tape everything. After their first coat, I went in on Saturday to examine their work so far. Nothing was taped. Not a single piece of tape anywhere in the entire room. And there was paint on all the woodwork. The edge of every varnished wood window frame had visible brush strokes of gray wall paint, some of them a half inch wide. There were little splatters here and there, some on the fronts of the window frames. There was paint on the smoke detector. Paint on the thermostat. Paint on a wall plate. Paint on the wooden fan blades. Paint on the black metal fan stanchions. Paint on the baseboard heaters. I couldn't believe it. I finally got a hold of Costas on Sunday, and at first he told me that they were on schedule to finish on Monday. I asked him about the paint on the woodwork. He said, "I told the guys to tape, but they didn't listen. They thought they could be careful and cut in against the woodwork without getting paint on it." Well, obviously, they couldn't be that careful, since there's paint everywhere. And the woodwork is ruined. But in that phone call, he promised to make it right. He'd save the woodwork, and clean it up, with Goof Off paint remover. "It will come right off," he promised. "Won't that take the varnish off the woodwork?", I asked. "No, it will be fine. That paint will come right off." I decided to give him a chance to make it right. Monday morning, I was meeting some other contractors at the house. I heard the guys working up in the painted room, but hadn't had a chance to see the results. After the meeting, Costas arrived. "Oh, Jason, good thing you're here," Costas said. "I tried to call you this morning, but I couldn't reach you. Come upstairs, so I can show you our progress." He pointed to one of the window frames and said, "See, the Goof Off ended up taking off some of the varnish, but don't worry, we found a way to fix it." Then he pointed to a second window frame and said, "See, we painted it to match, and it looks great." "Painted it? What do you mean you painted it?" "We found a color of paint that matches the woodwork." And I took a closer look at my window woodwork, which I suddenly realized had been painted a solid brown color. He had taken one of the wood mullions down to the paint store and had them scan it with their color match system. They mixed up a solid brown paint that "matched" the color of the varnished woodwork. And then he painted the entire window frame, including the sill, brown. I now had brown trim where my beautiful, 25-year-old woodwork used to be. Brown. Not even a color that I would have picked if I wanted my windows painted. "Costas, you just ruined my woodwork!" shouted. "No, it matches," he insisted. "But you didn't ask me if I wanted my woodwork painted!" "I tried to call you this morning, but I couldn't reach you." "So you went ahead and painted the woodwork brown without my permission?" Fortunately, he had only gotten to one window (out of 8 in the room) before I stopped him. I looked around the room and saw masking tape on the walls around the other frames, ready for brown paint. Now they tape? At that point, I told him to pack up his stuff and leave. I had already paid him for the remainder of this paint work on Friday. He protested, and said he'd fix it, and strip the brown paint off, or rebuild the window with new woodwork. Of course, the woodwork was 25 years old, so a rebuild would never match the other windows. And they packed up their stuff and left. So, fair warning: Be very firm with your instructions, and monitor their work closely, step-by-step. Maybe, with some careful guidance, True North can do some good work. But they're apt to ignore repeated instructions, do inappropriate things without permission, and destroy 25-year-old woodwork. Costas and his family are really nice people, though.

    All started out well with Michael Bragg, as he returned my inital email, and came out for an…read moreestimate quite quickly. I walked him through the job I wanted to have done, which was redoing the exterior trim on our house around our three garage bays and well as some of the front sections on our house in PVC board. I would also have him install a ceiling fan and Nest thermostats. He came, spent a good amount of time at the house and supplied an estimate for the job. He seemed like a decent person and I enjoyed talking with him and as no other contractors had even retuned my calls (I called 4 others in the area). I was very clear with him that I wanted the job done right, and done once (something I repeated to him many times while he was working on the house as well, and he said this was how he worked). I gave him the job.  Upon arriving, I had decided to expand the job to the entire front of the house, as he had told me he had some time between jobs, and I figured it would be best to do it all at once. I asked him for a rough estimate, and as it was reasonable, I moved forward. As he started pulling up the trim, he found some areas of water damage, which delayed the project about day. You can't not fix water damage, so the delay was understandable and by end of the second day, all the damage was repaired.  That's where it all when downhill. After this point, progress was slow and I wanted to see what was going on. He gave me a number of excuses for why pieces were't done yet, and among those was the fact that one of the garage bays was a different size than he was expecting, and he had already cut the material and would need to remeasure and cut again. I was quite astonished by this, but thought I'd wait to see how he billed for his error. After this, I decided to work from home as many days as possible to keep an eye on him and his team. Following that, his team (of 5 people now working hourly at $400 each) had issues with the cold, started packing up at 2:30 and were gone by 3. I was charged for the full day for all workers. I should note here that as I was talking to him before the job, he said he worked from 8 to 5 and was the kind of person to make sure the person to be thorough and clean up after the job every day. Every day, his entire team was packing up before 4, and were gone at 4 on the dot. Michael himself was always there at or before 8 and often stayed after 4 to chat with me, but this was usually as I asked him questions about the job as I had a number of concerns. At the end of the first week, I was watching him team taking apart the siding, with one person particularly struggling with the removal.  He nearly ripped off part of the roof, and damaged some of the rain guides (sorry, I don't know the actual term for what this piece is) in the progress. Another working was replacing siding, but doing so at an angle.  I spoke with Michael and told him I did not want either of these people working on the house anymore. He understand and agreed, and told me they weren't usually on his team. On week two of the job, I told him I needed him to finish up by the end of the week, as I would be leaving town and the job was getting more and more expensive, as he decided he would start working hourly and would need to order much more material than expected (even after buying more material when I expanded the job on day one, and in the end, he didn't have enough material to do the remaining part of the job - I did end out with hundreds worth of leftover material, though the wrong size to finish the primary portions trim I needed him to complete.) Week two was supposed to be his remaining team of 3 (something he confirmed on Monday), plus one person coming back to do a high ceiling fan and thermostats that were itemized on the original estimate. He said he would be able to complete the job by the end of the week.  Throughout the job, I did tell him what needed to be done, and that if he was unable to, to let me know so we could make a gameplan to do the most important parts first, and wait on the rest. Every day I checked in on him and all was on track.  As I mentioned earlier, I constantly reminded him that it needed to be done right, not fast - which needed to be reiterated after seeing a lot of cracked siding, misaligned siding, damaged elements and his team working slow).

    Showed up quickly. We walked around the jobs we wanted done. He lives around the corner from us."We…read morecan easily get it done this summer before it even turns cool!! " Said he would get back to us with an estimate. That never happened. I asked if he could point me towards the sliding glass door he recommended so that I could do the job myself. The only reply I got was that he might find time to do the work. Still waiting
