"We hired Bob Phalan to replace the surrounding trim after we had installed new garage doors. He estimated 1½ days. But upon removal of the exist aluminum siding, structural damage including carpenter ant damage and a rusted-cracked lally column were discovered. Bob made required repairs replacing 2x4s, the lally column, plywood, insulation, wall board, and plastering. Then he was able to begin work on the vinyl trim. We showed Bob a photo of the “look” we wanted to achieve and he achieved it perfectly. He was at our home for 3 very long days, the cost of his work was very reasonable."

"When we started our plan of remodeling, the first thing we did was the complete roof replacement including kitchen vent & duct pipe installation to the roof, and new installation of attic ventilation. MMP did not only completed it just as agreed but also very efficiently. The crews were friendly, professional, and careful. The jobs were carefully managed and implemented effectively. I was impressed by Matt, who is the manager, and he does an outstanding job in managing the crews and the progress of the situation, and the communication was clear and always to the point. We then moved to initiate a search for a contractor of two bathrooms remodeling after completing the roof and attic vent, MMP was one of the many candidates. Matt has had not only the best idea and proposals but also shown an impressive & professional sense of evaluating the project accurately, including the possible structural modification as well as a competitive estimate of the cost of the build. His proposal included a rebuild of a wall of the bathroom to expand another one adjacent to it. Matt accepted to use my schematic design image (made with a software tool) and a spreadsheet list of the fixtures that I created - as many as fifty items including TOTO, Grohe, American Standard, Panasonic, and IKEA - to start the job (later changed some of them due to local plumbing code compliance) After beginning the bathroom remodel project, Matt shared what jobs will be done with us timely and efficiently via text so that we feel comfortable enough in knowing what is going on while living in the house of dust & noise from remodeling. The crews, Zen and Mark, were very courteous, extensively experienced, reliable, and friendly with excellent communication, sometimes with songs of 80s rock music. They ask me when more precise specifications are needed and notified me when they feel advance notifications are required. When a change is necessary due to inspection, they informed me and clarified what and why. I have never felt uncomfortable in living together with the remodel job which has lasted over four months. The completed two bathrooms were stunning, just as I imagined. Matt, Zen, and Mark have proved their strong & thoughtful expertise and lived up with my request patiently until completion. Great job. A home remodeling project cannot be successful without having a trusted partner, and my experience with MMP has led me to be glad to share my confidence that MMP has a credential to become your reliable partner to manage a construction project together."

"Eric's team rebuilt our entire three season room, which was not functional. It is now, thanks to Mike and Brian. It also looks very good! Mike works hard at getting things done, and teaches the younger crew very well. He is structured and trustworthy. He also was patient answering my questions (I always have too many..!). Brian pays great attention to detail! I was impressed by how good the tile work looks, and also how good the finishing of the decking to the landing looks like, which he did. They also had to partly redo the patio, and it looks better than before."

"Khaled, of Abalia arrived on time, and quickly assessed a loose shingle issue with the roof of our detached garage. Security rope over the roof, ladder to the lower edge of the roof, 10 minutes "on site", and done. Good as new. Could not have asked for / expected better service."

"These guys are honest, reliable and incredibly hard working! They have cleaned up a large yard and have kept it looking so nice; they also built and planted a new flower bed. Additionally, they put down landscaping fabric, mulched and anchored it so it solved a huge problem in our yard. Aurelioâ s crew also redid a garden at a rental property and did a mass clean out of the basement and garage. Finally, they repaired a Japanese arbor that was smashed in a wind storm. Next I am having them build a water feature! Highly recommend AMLâ we are so happy that we found them!"

"Rossatto and his crew have done many Jobs for me. They rebuilt my deck,replaced and painted my house trim, stained my house,barn and shed. They repaired and stained my fences and replaced my window sills. All of these jobs were done on time and with professional style. Any unplanned issues that occurred were dealt with at little or no additional cost. I am having Rossatto back soon for another project. I recommend that you do the same."

"When I called to hire the handyman, the person on the phone warned me that sometimes exterior rot is like peeling an onion. What an onion! The visible rot was on the weather side of the house on a clapboard chimney. After a little excavation, it soon became clear that this was a much bigger project. Water has been leaking into that chimney for some time and the rot on its base was incredible. Four of five joists holding up the fire box and the entire chimney were rotted to within a few inches of the foundation. Worse, it appears that the previous owners dressed up the problem before selling us the house five years ago. The crew from Mr. Handyman Central MetroWest was terrific. They removed the rotted wood and essentially rebuilt the chimney's base, tying it into the existing, solid joists; cut out the other jerry-rigged fix the previous owners had attempted, and rebuilt the frame of the chimney; and then resided the chimney. That sounds simple, but it was a major job--definitely well beyond what I was capable of and worth every nickle we spent on it. The guys working on the project were professional in every sense of the word. They were dutiful--there wasn't really anytime I didn't hear them hammering, sawing, drilling, etc. They were on time. They were polite. They cleaned up every day of a three-day project. And they did the little things that make the difference between getting the job done and really solving the problem for us. They even built a shelf for a dehumidifier under an adjacent crawl space, solving another problem for us before it really became a big one. To top it all off, they replaced a couple of other rotten pieces of trim. Last summer, I brought out a couple of contractors to look at the rot and they all said the work was too small for them. I wonder if they would have agreed if they knew what the project became. And in honesty, the reality of paying by the hour for a project like this is not something I would have planned to do. But once the extent of the problem was there for me to see, we had to solve it--getting three quotes from other providers wasn't really an option. The bottom line is this: I am extremely happy with the work Mr. Handyman of Central Metro West did. The cost was more than I had planned on going in--but that was the function of the size of the problem and what it would take to fix it."

"We hired Bertie Walsh to re-do our garage ceiling which had been incorrectly repaired by a different contractor (not a contractor found on Angie's List).  Bertie was a godsend because after he removed the ceiling he pointed out to us that the previous contractor had failed to connect the blue board to the joist (not sure if that's the right word) and there also wasn't any strapping holding it to the subsurface, which would have caused it to eventually bow out.  Bertie put a new section of ceiling up and finished it with plaster and did a remarkable job matching the existing ceiling.

Bertie is quiet and hard working.  No fluff with this guy.  He's an honest, no-nonsense guy who will give you a very reasonable quote, will show up when he says he will, and then quietly and diligently do the work.  He cleaned up well after the work was completed.  I found myself looking for other things that needed plastering or handiwork around the house just so we could hire him again.  Yep, he is that good!

"Junior did an excellent job! We hired him to patch some holes in drywall, close off and finish a closet (which included drywall, spackle work, building shelves and installing a bar). He also repaired some siding on the exterior of our home that was damaged in a recent storm. His work was exceptional and he was very efficient! The cost for was very fair and we are pleased with the outcome. We will absolutely reach out to him again in the future for our household handyman needs."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Technically, most states allow tiny homes, but it depends on the definition of tiny and whether the structure is permanent. Zoning laws regarding home size and construction are significant factors. For instance, a tiny home may be legal as a recreational vehicle in most areas, but you may only install it on a property if it complies with building and zoning codes.

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment. 

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. 

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.
