Dave Carlin Inc

Dave and his assistant tackled and did a great job tearing out our very outdated bathroom. Took about 10-12 days. He was great about keeping the bathroom (except for shower) usable during the ongoing work. It turned out great. New double sink vanity, tub, toilet, flooring, sliding shower doors, new faucets and shower hardware. Plus paint and moldings. He's is a witty guy, sings while he works and even fixed our front doors that had issues free of charge. His pricing was competitive but fair. He did a complete overhaul of my parents kitchen years ago that made it like a whole new house including a cathedral ceiling and even moved a poorly located kitchen door! Great work Dave!

Hired for installation of two new toilets.  Repaired the old ones instead and handled a number of smaller tasks around the house.  Returned the unused toilets for me.

Very bad.

Carlin is coasting on past reputation and has some form of untreated mental illness.

He is crooked and overcharges. He has become utterly incompetent and curses and abuses his workers so badly only untalented jail birds will work for him.

He talks a good game but will cheat you. Do not hire, ever.

They are prompt and find the least expensive way to fix the problem.  He has a number of people that work for him.  They do the work fast and well and not a lot of mucking about.  He is a personable guy and makes him easy to trust.  He has come through for everything.  He has done everything he says he is going to do and reasonable prices.  I would recommend him.  He is a little bit hyper-kinetic, he is just bursting with all kinds of plans.  He has good people working for him.  The only complaint that we ever had was when they put in the hardwood flooring it extended into our bathroom and the only problem was when they put in the toilet it leaked a little bit and they came back out and fixed the floor in the bathroom.  Overall he is fun to work with.  He could very easily go on the high end of things and he always takes the lesser amount in pricing.  He is very professional and his workers are good.  My son used him to do his basement and he came in within a $2000 of budget.  We are looking to use him again re-tiling and grouting our bathroom.

Great!
