About us

http://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/community/cary-news/article101762867.html My number one goal is customer satisfaction (Super service award winner 2012, 2013, 2014,2015,2016,2017 on Angie's list) which to me is defined as a client who is not only completely satisfied with my services but is willing to refer me to their friends, family and co-workers. I currently have serviced 850th clients! My work is my passion and I absolutely love providing my services to my clients. I get a real sense of pleasure when a client loves the work I have done, smiles and says thank you for a wonderful job. I perform most of the tasks myself, but also know when to say a job is out of my area of expertise. If/when that happens, I do know qualified contractors who can step in and perform the work at a very reasonable rate. I followup with my customer after the job is completed to ensure it was performed to their satisfaction, which is especially important since my reputation is on the line and as I mentioned prior, customer satisfaction is my number 1 goal. I can provide references upon request which I would challenge any other tradesman to do the same. I am confident you will be pleased with my workmanship and prices. Free estimates are available 7 days a week.

Working with Tom was a real joy, and he is a true professional! The quote was competitive and better than other places I had consulted. The work was done in a very professional manner, and our bathroom looks exactly the way we intended it to look, and the way we had explained it to Tom. Work was done with great quality, and every part of our new bathroom looks great. The project was also done soon after we got the quote, and Tom was also correct in telling us how many days the project would take. I highly recommened Master of All Trades, and would use them again any time.
Description of Work: I needed on bathroom remodelled, which included replacing tiles, damaged walls, bathroom vanity sink, new faucets, new flooring, new lights, and the whole bathroom repainted. I also needed another bathroom vanity sink replaced, and a bathroom floor replaced.

Response from A Master of All Trades
[Member Name Removed], appreciate the overall 'A' rating but a little perplexed by the 'b' ratings in the price and punctuality sub-categories especially since you were given a documented quote via email several weeks prior to doing the work at your house and I gave you a window of time that I would arrive on the day that the work was performed. I also tried calling and texting you late that morning to let you know I was done with my morning job and on the way, but did not receive a response for 2hr's from you so I did not go to your house until I finally heard back since I live 20 miles away. Also if you recall I did state that it would be early afternoon (1-3pm) and I did show up during that window after I heard back from you. The price was more than fair since you had 40 pictures, mirrors and shelves to install and the majority of them were complex which required heavy duty fasteners as well as being extremely careful since most were quite old and family heirlooms. It also took me 3.5 hours to complete the work. Tom

Tom and Chris did great work when they were here. I had a bunch of small projects that I wanted done and Tom came and did a walk thru with me before I hired them. After the walk thru, within a few hours he had sent me a detailed estimate of the work I was having done. The day of the job they were both very professional and done within just a few hours. They answered any and all questions I had. I will definitely hire them again.

I am pleased with the outcome for the projects. Tom was very pleasant and professional to deal with from our initial phone call, to comimg out to quote the job, through completion of the work. He was respectful of my home and time. Will definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Popcorn ceiling above shower was failing down as result of steam and needed a toilet replaced. Tom came out to quote the job and recommended adding a fan to prevent further damage and then removed the popcorn and painted. He was very knowledgeable and clear about other scenarios that we might encounter trying to install the new fan. Luckily installation went smoothly, but I appreciated the information upfront just in case. Also had Tom provide an estimate on redoing a half bath (tile, paint, new toilet and vanity). Quote was fair and again Tom provided insight on what I needed and why, rather than just giving a dollar estimate. I haven't scheduled that work yet but will not hesitate to contact Tom when I'm ready to move forward with the project.

We had another handyman service in the area that did a terrible job extending our hallway laundry closet so that our washer and dryer would fit. Tom came in and totally ripped out what they did and did an amazing job with a finished look. We were very happy with the result. We will use his services again in the future! Do not call any other handyman service.

All the work was well done. The only issue I noticed was a small paint drop on the kitchen floor that should have been cleaned up. I did get another estimate from a different contractor that wanted about $2200 for the same job, so the minor mistake was worth saving $1600!

Wow I am shocked especially since I was on time, was very responsive to your needs/requests and as always act very professional....and had I seen the paint drop I would have cleaned it up. Also, I did extra things for you that I did not charge you for. Guess you didn't factor that into your overall rating. It is always best to be up front with someone in person rather than bashing them on line and next time find another handyman since I am not pleased with your unfair review!

We were referred to Mr. Crudele and tried unsuccessfully to speak with him about our project. We left a voicemail only to receive a brief text from him saying he doesn't work on kitchens. Had he bothered to take the time to speak with us he would have found that our project is quite a bit more extensive than the kitchen. He must falsely advertise on his website as well. His portfolio includes kitchen renovations. I found his response extremely unprofessional. We will obviously look elsewhere.

I tried calling you several times with no response so I left you a message on Angie's List. The extent of your project was out of my comfort zone and I will NOT work on a project when that is the case regardless of the price of the job. Also the intent of Angie's List reviews is to provide feedback on service rendered. I am soooo happy not to have worked for you since you are a very nasty and critical person as opposed to my other 750 customers of which 303 Angie's Lists Rating have been an A rating...there is definitely something wrong with you! Best of luck to the contractor that you ultimately work with..they will need it!

Tom and Chris are wonderful to work with; always pleasant, professional, and the quality of their services are exceptional. Tom has been extremely helpful preparing our home for sale. I can only hope and pray we can find someone like Tom in Tennessee. Thank you Tom for everything! Marcie and George

Tom was fantastic. Neither my spouse nor I are very handy, and we recently bought a new house in Holly Springs. We contacted Tom via Angie's List. He contacted me back extremely quickly with a rough quote--none of the other handymen returned my call within 3 days! A follow on visit to confirm the quote, which was completely reasonable. At first, we were told it would be 2 weeks before he could get to any of our fans. Later that day, we received an email that he could get to us the next day. He powered through 7 fans in less than 6 hours! Two of the fans were not traditional, but Tom took it all in stride. Tom was also extremely patient, (as our 5 year old son was very interested in what he was doing). I would hire him back instantly!
