Smart, reliable, pleasant to work with.

Exceptional workmanship and accessible when needed. A genuine human being with great solutions to any issues that arise. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

After receiving quotes from 2 other repair services I was contacted by Bruce who was willing to do the job for a reasonable price. He was open and honest, he was on time and explained exactly what he was going to do before doing it. It was a great relief to find someone that was willing to get his hands dirty for a price I could afford, I will contact him anytime I have a job that requires someone with the skills he has, which are many, thank you Bruce!

Great experience! Easy to work with and good communication.

Terrible experience, homeowner please be aware. Strongly recommend securing a contract including a detailed scope of work, itemized material and labor breakdown, payment terms, contractor license, certificate of insurance and specific experience before engaging in any work beyond very basic tasks. Contractor requested and received a substantial down payment to start work then didnâ t show up for several days causing us to drive 260 miles to locate and demand a follow up meeting. We requested specific work items needed for the home which the contractor initially agreed to but then either modified without authorization or was subsequently unable to provide. Contractor insisted on full payment for these items. Work truck leaked brake fluid leaving oil stains on driveway and wherever parked. Sloppy painting, paint drips left of floor and around wall trim. Other items left unfinished causing homeowner to either self-complete or hire additional companies to properly complete the work. Living remote from the property we feel we were taken advantage of having been over-charged for both incomplete and/or unauthorized items. In addition, additional cost paid to 3rd party companies for completing the job. Contractor repeatedly refused to provide material and labor pricing breakdowns to justify Truth is a complete defense

Timely, courteous, polite, and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him.

First part of the project itâ s going really well. He will complete later on this month due to no fault of his. I am pleased with his workmanship and his customer service!

Polite, on-time, excellent work.

Bruce arrived promptly. He was polite and professional. His work was excellent and the price was so reasonable!

Bruce was outstanding

Bruce was very professional and did a great job!

Rated Rufs with all 5s but indicator stopped at 4.5. Excellent work by competent Blue Collar professionals at a fair price. Thank you.

Absolutely horrible. We hired Bruce to replace a broken cabinet door. He glued the broken door back together but it did not dry flat and the door now does not close. When asked to fix it he said something was in the way. There was nothing blocking the door from closing. He painted the ceiling of our 200+-year-old home without covering the hardwood floor and paint got on the floors and on an antique table! The worst was when he used a roller to paint the window panes on the exterior of our enclosed front porch. He got paint on the windows, siding, and all over the foundation. My 19-year-old son should have done the job. Every project he touched he made worse and I fired him because I was petrified he would do more damage. Seriously, I never write a bad review but I would hate to see this happen to some else. I have plenty of pictures I will try and attach.

Very responsive to an immediate need. A bit pricey.

Quick response time. Neat work and cleanup

Bruce did a great job. No nonsense and no problems. I will be sure to call him for any other work I need done. Bob Conahan

Bruce did a great job. Would definitely recommend him to others.

Did not finish the projects. Took the money and have not heard from him. He purchase over $250.00 of materials which we paid for and he never used. He purchase 6 84"track shelving and only needed 4. He could of purchase 60" length which is available at a lower cost. He had to cut the 84" shelving. Oh he cut it but to a length of 63". Why? The length is 60" for that area. He did not listen to the customer. I wanted 16" depth shelving. He purchased 18" depth brackets which he took. The shelves in the linen closet are buckled. He even mentioned it and said oh well. They will flatten out when you put stuff on them. I said track shelving he did not listen. Put in wire shelving and had to jury rig the brackets to fit. One shelf has already fallen dow. Basement track shelving not finished. No response to email or text. We paid him in good faith. He took the money and all the extra materials not needed for the projects , which we paid for. He took all the extra new hardware not used for the bifold doors with him. He did not ask the customer if they wanted them. We paid for that hardware. We as honest people paid in good faith. So now he has the money and all the extra materials paid for by us for the projects Materials he never used on our projects. He is a real scam artist.

Bruce came to my home to find a list of jobs that I needed to get done. He jumped right in and did every job, and then some! I will definitely call on Bruce again, soon, as another list has taken shape. Bruce was a prefect worker with much knowledge and skill, and I truly appreciate his work on my house. Can't wait to see him again to work on the new list!

Bruce was awesome. Courteous, respectful, does quality work, affordable. Finally found someone who would do multiple small projects. He also made sure he cleaned up after his work to the smallest detail. Great experience.

Bruce was very accommodating and accessible
