Live in a 1883 farmhouse & planning a layout change, removing the existing pantry & adding a…read morebathroom in preparation for our daughters wedding, we had no lower level bath & 1 located in our converted barn that we designated for the wedding party staging area) not having a bathroom on the lower level wasn't going to work with a reception of 80 people. We had several contractors involved in the project. Around the pantry was wainscoting & a trim that was original to the house, as the pantry was the original stairwell to the basement. Our plan was to convert pantry into the new powder room, as well as moving a wall & adding a desk area. We had planned a week for bgs (Plumbers), 2 dys for my husband to do the walls, He requested 4 ds for the cabinets/desk & wainscoting & then 3 ds for the floors, 2 ds for the painters, which would have given us 2 ds before the wedding rehearsal, just as everything would be coming in for the event. We knew it wasn't ideal, but everyone promised they understood the time constraints & assured us they could accomplish their job within the window provided. We offered to pay extra with the understanding that our project would have to be their only priority during that time. Bgs did a good job but were behind schedule to start which was compromising the whole project. Rob was to install the cabinetry & custom desk & patch in wainscoting, but he was to start after the bgs were done. We had another contractor doing the floors & finally painters to finish everything off. He couldn't start until the bgs were done because the wall where the plumbing was to be added was where the new desk & patched wainscoting was to go. My husband was going to do the drywall, so the night the bgs finished he was ready to go. He had all the materials & ready to go on the d the bgs were suppose to be completed, (Which was a Frid, despite him not actually needing to be there until Mond. Repeatedly the bgs said they done on Frid, but progress did not indicate such. In fact they didn't finish until the following Thursd, which was when He would have been scheduled to be finished. So the bgs didn't come Saturd or Sund, Both He & bgs came Mond, though they didn't seem interested in putting in more than a couple hours of work. By Tuesd night he had everything he could do done & was just waiting on the bgs. He came Wednesd in hopes they would finish, but they didn't once again. When the plumber said he needed to go to the store to get a tool to cut around some framing, He was able to expedite the process as he already had the tool. Finally on Thursd the bgs finished, My husband planned 2 ds for the walls, but He was there to help, keep in mind this was the d he was scheduled to finish & the walls weren't even started. He stayed until 2 a helping my husband complete the walls (He had been there since 7 a). We told him he could sleep in the next d if he needed to because now we were going to have to push the floor people back (They should have been Frid, Saturd, Sund & painters were coming Mond. Floor guys managed to move their schedule around & said they could start Sund & finish Mond. He showed up bright & early Frid morning & worked straight through until 10 PM, again on Saturd & he managed to get everything done by noon on Saturd. We were so relieved as he really stepped up & did so much more than we had expected or than any reasonable person could have expected. The floor guys also did a great job & managed to finish Mond as they had said, at noon. Painters were suppose to finish the stuff in the barn on Sund, to be ready for the kitchen area on Mond, but they didn't show on Sund, Mond they finished the barn, but left early instead of starting on the kitchen which was imperative. Wednesd the painters started with some gripe about the wainscoting finish, we were using a special kind of paint as it was a high traffic area & wanted to preserve the wood, they said something about the wood needing to be sealed first, which made no sense to us, but it was there excuse to leave again. We called He to ask him about this & he was as baffled as we were. He came up to the house & called the painters with us, the owner more or less said the guys didn't feel like doing it that d. He jumped into action & finished the paint on the wainscoting, along with all the areas he had worked, & told us he'd come back the next d when the painters should have been finishing. Again they showed up late after the guy who wasn't even suppose to be there. My husband ended up firing them after a comment by the 1 painter, He & my husband managed to finish all the painting & project was completed in time for the rehearsal. He also ran to the store to get the caulk & other materials we needed. He never asked us for another dime & assured us that he just wanted everything to be right. The way you handled this project with its many challenges was beyond our expectations. I truly can't express in words our gratitude for your resilience & profe

He ruined my closet walls, and wasn't able to install a simple shelving unit. The worst, he charged me for his work and threatened to sue me if I did not pay him, even though after two whole days of work he wasn't able to complete the job which should have taken 4 hours to do. He also called me awful names, and blamed me for his mistakes! He is a fly-by-night , unlicensed, carpenter wannabe!

How is it that no one else has reviewed Glen here yet?…read more Glen Staub of Gr8 Home Improvements has been my first call for all home improvement needs for years now. I met Glen 5 years ago when he redid my master bathroom. He came in and installed a new jet bath tub, a tile surround, a new toilet and a vent fan for our steamy bathroom. He also painted the entire room in two colors for me. After that I called him every time I needed a job done in the house. He installed a new front door for me, made improvements to my kitchen, built me new doors for my shed and fixed odds and ends around the house. I recommended Glen to my mother and she had him come in and redo her entire kitchen and then to my cousins who had him come in and install some new doors and fix up their bathroom as well. If you're in the tri-state area I highly recommend giving Glen a call if you have any home improvement needs.

Bob is genuinely someone who enjoys his work and does it well. He was so accommodating in every way. On our second visit, we found a "Closed" sign, on the door.

Please express my appreciation to Bob; he is a real asset to your organization. I have already recommended Bob, to my son, who is in the market for shed and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Joe B.
