Mike's Maintenance

In my experience, I learned that a Handymen/Contractor needs to be Hire BY THE JOB. Please BE AWAREthis man is 68$ in Hour. It is best to NEVER PAY BY THE hour unless it is a crucial emergency that would take an hour or two with a TIME LIMIT. I tried to talk to him yet He stormed out of my house. He didn't try to solve the matter instead sent the claim to the court to get more money. He said, "I wasted his time" when he charged for all the time he thinks he should be paid Including the "Free" estimate and the Lunchtime while making a personal phone call. It took him 2 hours! to reattach trim around my door that already had some pieces cut. I feel that the job was stretch out Too LONG for an "experience" carpenter. It certainly was my lost yet it can prevent other people from being taken advantage off when hiring a Handymen or contractor. Unfortunately, I couldn't fight the case with this man because I was in the middle of getting the house ready and having the worry of a family member being in the hospital.

Mike communicated with me to schedule the work on a 'good weather' day. (Soil could not be too soft; had been raining.) He arrived on schedule and completed the work within 2 - 3 hours; the slabs were leveled (to my satisfaction) using a pry bar to maneuver the slabs and adding sand as needed to build up the low spots. The price was very reasonable.

Perfectly.

It went very well. He knew what he was doing. It was not a matter of just changing a washer in an old faucet. He had to grind down the seat to stop the drip. Would have given him some more projects but he was too busy at the time. He evidently put me on priority status for my leak problem.

Mike Schwartz was very professional and amicable. I am really glad we were able to work with him on our home projects. He was very diligent in the work with a particular eye for details. For example, when staining the deck he did several coats as the wood had never been stained before during past 9 years. He went ahead and repaired several of the lose deck railings. He made us a custom back gate which looks pretty darn AWESOME! I wish I can have him on a retainer, because he is so GOOD. I highly recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a: Reliable, Professional, Kind, Fair and Diligent person to work on their projects.

Mike is professional, experienced and capable. His experience allows him to anticipate challenges and offer solutions. I would certainly hire him again for future projects.

Great. Friendly and worked quickly, Knew what he was doing. Also answered questions about other issues and future projects.

I was impressed with Mike's responsiveness, informing me about potential issues and providing education throughout.  He was prompt and I could tell he has done this type of work before and really knew what he was doing.  When I was somewhat confused about what I had to supply, he was very clear and when I got something that was not correct, he went out and got what was needed to get the job done correctly. 

Everything went quite well. I contacted Mike and he provided a written estimate in a couple of days. From the date that I received the estimate, it was only a couple of days before the work was begun. The work required installing drywall, painting, removing a door and relocating it to a different location, removing and installing baseboards, removing a closet system and bi-fold doors and relocating them. The work took a little over five days. Thankfully, Mike took measures to prevent dust from flowing throughout the house which I greatly appreciated.
