They were in and out in under four hours and did a fantastic job. I will also say the communication before and after our appointment was spectacular. I had a feeling our job was smaller than average for them, but they never made me feel that way. I also really enjoyed our estimate session with Vicki, who is just a pleasant and nice person to be around. We really had the best experience and I would HIGHLY recommend them for any painting services or handiwork you need done in your home.

Mike Bauman and his team at Bauman Remodeling just completed a full gut renovation of my bathroom…read more The quality of the work was outstanding and the project was completed in less time than originally anticipated yet stayed within budget. This project was pretty complicated and included numerous upgraded electrical elements, fully tiled walls, a zero entry shower, relocation of walls and reconstruction of a linen cabinet. The resulting bathroom is spectacular and we couldn't be more pleased. Mike and his team, led by Chris and Juan, are the ultimate in professionalism. His electrician, plumber, tile specialist and plasterers are true experts in their fields and take great pride in their work. His painter's work was flawless and the carpentry, including building a new hall cabinet and door to match the decor of the house was perfect. They also completely rebuilt our basement stairs turning the old step stairway into ones much safer for us to use. In addition to the great quality of work, Mike and each of his team took care to protect our belongings and respect our home. They carefully covered furniture and moved things with great care. When the project was completed, he brings in a cleaning crew and leaves everything spotless without a trace of construction dust. We will definitely be using Mike again for future projects and have recommended to several friends and family members.

Joseph has done a couple of previous jobs: one big and one medium. The first was replacing Knob…read moreand Tube wiring in an antique house. The second was wiring a whirlpool tub. He did amazing work on knob and tube, avoiding opening walls and getting the job done in a surprisingly short time. The whirlpool was a straight forward job which he went at and got done quickly. His knowledge of the wiring codes had him replace the breakers for the tub under recent code changes. The recent work was a quick and dirty job and I was wondering if he would even be interested in taking something like that on. Fortunately he was available and came the next morning. It turned out to be a really simple fix but it did depend on knowledge of his craft. (Multiple bathrooms can be wired together with one gfci.) As always, he is my goto guy for electricity. You will not be disappointed.b

Joe did some work for us - very simple light fixture change - and he was courteous. When we called…read morehim several months later he made an appointment for a few days out, and I was clear to let him know I would be adjusting my work schedule for this appointment. I find him talkative, and he went on about a big job he is doing and how he feels badly there are so many small jobs in Maynard he wants to get to but can't. I asked him if he was taking this job because although it was "small" we suspected it could be a dangerous situation. Yes, he would be there "early afternoon" on a day the following week. Well, he never showed up. No phone call. I gave him the entire afternoon. When I called him late that afternoon (4:30), he wasn't even sure what I was talking about. Then he said he did recall, but he was working on a big job, and he gave me the same information about how he has these big jobs going on and feels badly there are so many local people who he can't get to. Ok, I thought I'll play along with this and I asked hiim politely when he expected he could get out. He said maybe on his way home. I said, what time would that be, he said 5 pm, but it was already 4:30 pm. Oh, that's right, he said that wouldn't work. He said I should call him next week and he would see what he could do and that he would never remember to call me since he doesn't write anything down. Needless to say I don't care how inexpensive your prices are or how good your work is, or what your trade is - doctor, electricain, hairdresser, tinker, tailor, sailorman - treating a customer like their time is less valuable than yours AND not having common courtesy to take 3 minutes to call and cancel or explain you are too busy means you are not running a good business. My sense is....this electricain will be happy to get paid to do work for you if he isn't busy with a bigger job but, converesley, will not tell you he's too busy to take on your job because he wants to keep your business for the times work is slow. That being said as it turns out the wonderful electrician we hired by way of recommendatioin from 3 local (Mayard/Acton/Sudbury) businesses ened up having to spend a full day to fix what turned out to be a large issue. Ironically, if J. Rocheleau had simply called me that morning to say he wouldn't be able to get to us that day - or even if he had called at any point that day to say he was too busy - I wouldn't have written a negative review.

Carlos gave us a quote of $200 to replace two kitchen sink shut off valves. I asked if he would…read morecredit back our cost ($28) for the brand new SharkBite valves that I just bought. He said it wouldn't affect the price and "if your (sic) having trouble paying bill maybe you need to find another plumber". Did Carlos just call me cheap for refusing to let him take advantage of me? Unbelievable! However, I have grown some thick skin after dealing with all kinds of jerks over the years. I would still let that insult slide so the repair wouldn't suffer any potential delays. Since Carlos wouldn't give me any credit for the parts, I opted for him to supply the valves and make sure one of the valves has two outlets to hook up the dishwasher. That's when he told me to "find someone else." Guess it was a mistake to tolerate his demeanor. I'm gonna find someone else then and I recommend all of you to stay away from this company.
