Larry and his crew did an excellent job finishing off my kitchen remodel! They installed the final cabinets, an over the stove microwave, window sill, shoe molding, and my backsplash. They were very knowledgeable, hardworking, and made sure I was happy with the installation each step of the way. If you are looking for a job well done, I would definitely recommend Done Rite. Thank you Larry and your team!

The prior occupant of my house attempted to, (with evidently little skill) turn a small back porch into a fair-sized, fully enclosed room with Windows. The result is a cheap looking extension with a leaking roof, and with windows that collapsed with the wind (letting in rain, snow, and leaves) --a totally unusable space that was a complete eyesore. I could never lets guests even see my backyard out of embarrassment. Enter Larry the Done Rite Handyman (and certified construction specialist)! He saw that, underneath the botched project, was the potential for a great looking rosewood deck. Magically, this man (and his kind and diligent assistant) converted the eyesore into asset --one that I am now proud to show off to any guests that happen to stop by. And his bid to do the work was much less expensive than my prior bidder (who only offered much less satisfying patch-up job). BRAVO!

We love our new bathroom! We hired Larry to replace our fiberglass shower and floor with custom tiling. Larry and his crew were extremely professional and reliable. Before the process, we discussed our concerns regarding our 21 year old cat and he was very understanding and accommodating. He also fixed drywall on our bedroom ceiling and you can't even tell any work was done. We will definitely be using Larry and Done Rite Handyman and Remolding Services again soon.

Larry Barr is an extremely professional and trustworthy contractor. My daughter and I hired Done Rite to finish basement ceiling tiles and we received expert advice and service. We also had 3 rooms painted and are more than pleased. I could not ask for a more considerate and courteous work crew. Larry had no problem taking care of all of the other small jobs we added on. Superior Job Well Done!

Larry was on time, within budget and the work was excellent. Unlike many home repair companies, Larry was willing and happy to take on smaller 1 day jobs. I would definitely recommend him for your smaller home repairs. I had him do multiple jobs, including putting up a trellis in my garden.

Larry Barr's work was "above and beyond" on this project - Drywall install (ceiling), and wall repairs. His work was excellent, it was done in a reasonable amount of time and his post-work clean-up was thorough. We would (will!) hire Larry again; and we highly recommend his services.

This is my second review of DoneRite. Larry and his team completed a number of projects at my house including exterior trim repair, power washing, painting and caulking, deck power washing and restaining, and a complete kitchen remodel. All the work was completed to very high standards. The worksite was kept clean and work completed timely. Larry was also very conscious of work scope and keeping me informed of progress, issues, and additional work/repair. I have hired Larry to do multiple projects at my house and will continue consider/hire him for future projects.

I hired Done Rite for the cabinet paint job in my kitchen, they did a great job and i was extremely satisfied with the outcome. They took their time and didn't rush with the project. The clean up job after the completion was top notch also. Would definitely hire them in the future.

Larry replaced a damaged tile ceiling, took care of several aluminum siding issues with both replacement and repair, and even cleaned out badly clogged gutters (while on the roof inspecting flashing conditions) and did it for us at no extra cost. Very good work, very well done, very much appreciated.

Done Rite is great. Larry called back right away and showed up when he was supposed to. That may sound trivial but I haven't found that to be the case with a number of companies doing Handyman work. He showed me what he was doing, made recommendations and did the work agreed upon. I would definitely recommend him and am going to pass his name on to some of the people in my neighborhood.
