The jobs were both done professionally. I liked the honest forthright manner of Pete.

Pete showed up as promised, he was actually early! His pricing is fair and he is very thorough. I also appreciate that he provided other home owners tips...educating as well as completing the job. And on top of that, Pete called to follow-up on other jobs I had mentioned. Good customer service should never be underestimated!
Description of Work: We moved into a new home and needed our washer and dryer connected and a laundry tub installed. The prior owners had an odd connection and plumbing for the washer. We also had a garbage disposal installed.

He wasn't going to charge me for coming to my home on a Sunday to look at the job. I insisted on paying him. He informed me that he couldn't do the job, so I hired someone else. If I had normal repair work, or another smaller job, I would call him. He just didn't have the equipment to fix the type of problem that I had. He is a handyman. The problem that I had needed someone more specialized.

Pete did an outstanding job. He always does. This is the second job he has done for us. He is a conscientious worker who takes great pride in his labor. He is easy to work with. He always proposes common sense approaches to problems.
Description of Work: Pete performed several tasks. He applied mud to an exposed section of drywall in the living room and replaced the floorboard molding. He also installed a storm door, ran speaker wires in the wall, and installed brackets for the speakers.

Great. Pete figured out the cause, and fixed it. Also fixed ruined ceiling. THis was a big and messy job. He showed up everyday when he said he would, worked in an orderly way and left the work site neat and cleaned up. Pete brings his intelligence and high standards to every job-- since the initial job a year ago I have hired him to do several other projects, all with a very good outcome.

I called Pete around noon and made an appointment for 4:00PM the same day. Pete arrived on time and fixed my kitchen sink drain in less than five minutes and showed me how to do it myself. Pete then determined that I needed a replacement part to fix my bathtub drain stopper. Pete left to buy the part and returned promptly, then took the time to determine whether my bathtub drain issue was due entirely to the broken lever or whether there was also a clog. Pete expended considerable effort to clear the drain and adjust the new drain mechanism to ensure a tight seal. Overall I was extremely satisfied with Pete's work, especially the reasonable price and enthusiastically recommend his services.

The job was done efficiently, pretty quickly...considering all that had to be done, carefully and thoroughly. Pete answered the phone when I first called (as another Angie's List patron had pointed out), and was precise as to what he would/could/might do with the problem, not yet having seen what I was talking about. He arrived at the given time and went right to work. I am very, very pleased with what he accomplished.
Description of Work: I purchased a new fridge that needed a waterline hookup for ice, because the old box was from the 70's, and the connections were too old to be able to be used. The fridge movers discovered that the old water line was a mess of tangles and crimps, and the shutoff valve wouldn't shut. They were able to clamp the water line until Pete (Top Notch) was able to come, assess what had to be done, put in a new line to the fridge, and replace the valve and crimped piping that was in the basement leading up to the kitchen. What a relief!!!!!

After discovering the leak, I decided I was going to register with Angie's List to test it out. I called Pete based on feedback from previous evaluations on Angie's List. Not only did he pick up the phone when I called, but he was able to show up at my house within 1 hour. You could tell that Pete takes pride in his work. He was able to walk me through the steps he was taking in order to resolve the situation. He was very friendly and professional. He was able to find the issue that caused the leak, and fixed it. Pete communicated to me when I initially called that he didn't take on work where I lived because of the distance, but was able to make an exception in my case. I'm very happy that he was able to make the trip out and help us. Overall, this was my first time using Angie's List, and could not have imagined a more positive experience. For anyone reading this review, if you are within his area, do yourself a favor and call him.

Pete was very responsive and came on time for his weekend appointment. After putting in a sincere 4 hour effort he was not able to fix the problem. He was honest to admit that the problem was beyond his expertise and that we should go to a professional electrician.
Description of Work: Our hallway light was flickering and getting double wattage if we switched on the bedroom lights. Bedroom lights were turning on real dim... we didn't know what the problem was, so we called Pete. He tried every which way he was aware of, but could not figure out the problem. After 4 hours he gave up and advised us to contact a certified electrician. He did not want to charge us at all. But, having seen him working sincerely on the issue on a weekend, I insisted that he get some reimbursement. At that point he charged us a service fees of $50, which I gladly paid.

Pete returned my call promptly and gave me a free estimate. The project was two days. He was prompt, offered good suggestions and answered any questions regarding the projects at hand or future projects. He cleaned up after his projects.
Description of Work: Pete did several projects from hanging shelves, changing a light fixture and some repair work to baseboards and windowsill (because my dog had done his own handy work as a puppy).
Pete is an honest guy that takes great pride in his work. His forte is plumbing, but is willing to take on other roles and makes sure they are done right.
Description of Work: Plumbing: Ran a line to the fridge, dishwasher, fixed plumbing in sink and garbage disposal. Drywall: New drywall in Kitchen & Dining Room ceilings + other areas that need fixing. Tile: Put in mosaic and wall tiles above countertops. Various other things: Installed above range microwave, installed gas range, installed dishwasher, installed garbage disposal, installed sink faucets, dealt with other subcontractors, supplies/materials, some electric work.

Pete was GREAT! He informed us about the job and what it would take to fix it. The cost was GREAT! also. Pete is a real nice guy and I can't wait to have him come back again. Also, I just want to say that we have been trying for six months to get someone to fix our shower. No one wanted to take the time out to do a small job. I join Angie's list. I called at 5:00 p.m the same night I join and I spoke to Pete. He came the next day and it was done. Thank you Pete and thanks to Angie's list.

Pete did a great job! Can't say enough about his professionalism and attention to detail. Despite having to work in a small area and with two curious dogs watching his every move, Pete never complained. Always on time and even though his estimate on how long the project would take was a bit short, he made up for it by doing a very detailed job. The new floor looks fantastic and I have had numerous visitors compliment me on how well it was done. I am very pleased with everything and look forward to working with Pete on my next project.

This is a very pleasant down-to-earth person. Flexible, creative and receptive to suggestions. Punctual and honest. I got his name from a friend, called him and met at my place that evening. We discussed costs, future projects and even set tentative dates to spread the work out through the spring.
Description of Work: He fixed an increasingly worsening water leak by replacing a T-junction, extended a laundry dryer vent to an external outlet and installed the faceplate.
