Mike arrived on the job the first day the carpenters and the plumbers did and he worked six days a week until the walls and ceilings were finished to perfection. . . or as close to perfection as one can get in a 100 year old house. Unlike many contractors, Mike works on one job at a time and does not flit back and forth among jobs. In addition to the beautiful work he did on the walls and the ceilings, Mike took us by the hand and guided us through the remodeling process by scheduling the contractors, calling for inspections and then walking through with them, closely working with the different contractors so that things went smoothly, volunteering to call for professional services we needed, loaning us his personal equipment to use, counseling us on the best products to use, rebuilding and fitting a rectangular door to a trapezoid opening, skim coating a new wall so that it matched the design of the old perlite walls, installing a micro wave, painting areas that would be hard for us to do and miscellaneous carpentry projects. Mike's total involvement in this project was instrumental in our doing a complete renovation of this house in just two and a half months. Mike is a professional in every way. He takes great pride in his work and strives for perfection in each thing he does. He communicates well in person and always answers emails and phone calls promptly. He is honest, dependable, patient, always pleasant and easy to work with plus he has a great sense of humor. Our only regret is that we did not meet Mike earlier because he is a General Contractor and he could have saved us a month of interviewing by just hiring him to start with.

Mike was great to work with. He would always keep us informed and accomodated our interest in being involved with the work ourselves. We learned a lot. We are very pleased with the quality of the work done and the ideas he gave us as the project went along.

Mike works on a time and material basis. When his costs came in at less than expected for the initial work order, we were able to hire him for some additional work. Mike had a lot of great design suggestions and was also very willing to have us do some of the work ourselves. This helped keep the cost down.
