Mike and his team are spectacular! We've worked together on half a dozen projects over the past 8…read moreyears since we met and he's always delivered an impeccable result. In addition to having a very friendly, flexible, respectful, and responsible crew, his team's work in incredible! I won't have anyone else work on projects that matter to me around the house. These people are seriously talented. Mike is also a stand up guy. He delivers what he promises and he's honest with his pricing. He's also very flexible and reasonable as plans adjust mid job. It's not too much to say these guys are magicians. I'm so happy I found them. It's made my life so much less stressful. I know the work is going to get done to my very high standards AND I don't have to manage or oversee them at all. I'll pop in once in a while or ask Mike to share pics...but I always know I'm going to like what I see. Working with a contractor I trust makes all the difference for us. I hope you get a chance to work with these guys!

We needed our deck replaced, so our landscaper recommended Carpentry by Michael. We contacted…read moreMichael to discuss our plans and cost. Michael provided us the opportunity to view a deck that he had just finished, and the quality of work looked good, so we contracted with Michael to replace our deck. The pricing Michael provided was reasonable, which allowed us to expand on the features of our new deck. The results far exceeded our expectations. Michael's team provide great craftsmanship and a customer friendly approach for making changes. His team kept a very clean job site and were very timely with their work. Since the deck replacement, we have used Carpentry by Michael for two additional home improvement projects. One was a complete replacement of our fireplace facade and mantle, and the second project was a remodeling of our master bathroom. We are pleased with the outcome of both of these projects. Michael has a talented crew that gives special attention to detail. I would recommend Carpentry by Michael without hesitation.

The bathroom looks much more modern and updated and the shower/glass came out especially well. I am a fairly handy person myself and was honestly nervous about having someone else do the work, but the team did a great job. They worked hard, put in full days, were respectful of the building and surprisingly quiet throughout the project, which I really appreciated in a condo environment. Communication was good throughout the project and pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received. Overall, I would recommend them for bathroom remodeling work.

We had a great experience working with Michael Remodeling. Michael and his team renovated our…read moreprimary bathroom and also handled some flooring repairs and updates in a guest bathroom. I chose him based on his strong reviews on Yelp and Google, and he absolutely lived up to them. The project was completed quicker than expected, and his attention to detail was excellent throughout. We made a few adjustments to the bathroom renovation based on Michael's experience and feedback, and the finished result looked fantastic. I'd highly recommend Michael Remodeling to anyone looking for a reliable contractor for projects large or small. He'll definitely be my go-to for any future renovation needs.

Of all the handymen I contacted from yelp, David was the most responsive. David came to my home and gave me an estimate the same day. He talked me through his pricing and when we agreed, he was able to complete the repair on the spot. I highly recommend David for your handyman needs.

He then replaced another ceiling light, installed my hardwired NEST, helped me install all new track lighting heads and took the time to investigate a potential painting job in my master bath. His work is impeccable - he left my condo in pristine condition, and he arrived exactly on time without the usual 'oh it's SO hard to find parking in this neighborhood' He's the real deal. Hire him - you won't be disappointed.

The poor quality was distracting. After Steve's refinishing with such attention to detail, I can enjoy walking barefoot in the house - smooth as silk, feels like I'm walking on a finely finished piece of furniture. When the sun comes through the windows, the wood grain literally sparkles!

We hired Ryan and co. to give us an estimate on repairing the metal stairs and landing behind our…read more2-unit condo. The estimate was solid and he was very honest about what did and didn't need to be replaced - we were confident they would do a good job. The initial work itself was indeed very good. Though it took them a very long time to commit to an actual starting date due to another "big job" they had. Aside from some weather delays, there were long gaps time when they promised work would begin but several warm sunny warm days would go by without a word. Once they finally started, the work progressed mostly well with one gap in the road when we didn't see them for a week. They finished the job and asked for the remaining payment due. Upon inspection, we noticed a few things that still needed addressing. After a few more days a couple of guys came by and did a very thorough job of touching up the missing stuff. Will was the main guy for the touch-ups and was truly awesome. He was very dedicated to ensuring we were happy with every little detail. So we arranged for payment of the balance due. But then... it rained a couple of days later and we saw a large puddle of water pooled up on the landing right outside our back door. This is our main egress to our cars with kids, etc. so it was kind of a big deal. And with winter approaching, it would be a sheet of ice and potentially dangerous when trying to carry our 2 year-old to the car. I contacted Ryan directly on 9/17 and he said no problem and he'd send someone to pound it out the next day. Nobody showed. I contacted him again on 10/4, 11/3, 11/14, and 12/6. I got a response only once on 11/14 saying sorry and he'd come the next day, but nobody showed up. So now, we have a constant puddle and sheet of ice outside our back door that my daughters and wife have all slipped and fell on on their way to work and school. It's pretty disappointing that what was so close to a great job was ruined by this small little thing they couldn't be bothered to fix because we had already paid them. I don't think we'd hire them again. Despite the good work they did initially, and the excellent service from Will, the inability to do the right thing and follow through is a deal breaker. Not following through on a seemingly small detail has caused a huge pain for us.
