FIVE STAR HOME IMPROVEMENT

In general, we were happy with Mike's work. He arrived when he said he would, was responsible and we were very comfortable having him in our house. All of the walls that he repaired looked great and the moulding over the wainscoting really worked out well. He charges by the hour ($35, which seemed quite reasonable) but he can become really chatty at times. He also seemed not to be as detail oriented as I had expected. When he started we asked him to complete the wainscoting (there was a small, unfinished segment behind the bathroom door) and plug the screw holes in the moulding so they wouldn't be visible but we had to remind him about the wainscoting and he never ended up plugging the holes. He also didn't put the top piece of finish wood over the molding behind our bathroom door. We noticed these things after he had left for good so we didn't pursue them. He also covered an outlet with Sheetrock and would have left it if I didn't ask him to cut it out.

WE ALWAYS GET MORE THAN OUR MONEY'S WORTH WITH MIKE. HE IS FULL OF SUGGESTIONS, WHETHER THEY RESULT IN MORE OR LESS WORK FOR HIM. HE IS EXCELLENT AT DIAGNOSING PROBLEMS, PRESENTING US WITH OPTIONS, AND THEN DOING THE JOB IN A TIMELY AND EFFICIENT MANNER.
