Steve is easy to work with. We had him do some work a couple of years ago. He diagnoses the problem and gives you a solution you can understand. He works quietly and is clean. I left him alone in my house for several hours while I worked in my office. You can definitely trust him.
Description of Work: We had a circuit breaker that would trip on occasion when we ran the hood/microwave. Steve traced the circuit and measured the amp load the microwave drew when it turned on. The circuit was drawing more than the 15 amps it was rated for. Steve was able to identify a spare 20-amp circuit reasonably close to the microwave's location. He put in a new outlet near the microwave (hidden from view) and tied into the spare circuit without damaging our kitchen.
I've known him for 7 or 8 years and he does a lot of odd jobs. As I got more comfortable with him, I've given him access to my house (including bedrooms). I observed him opening up my jewelry box and safe, and at the time I didn't think anything of it (although I should have). I had a valuable coin (heirloom), and it is now missing from my bedroom. It disappeared shortly after he did some work for me, and there is absolutely no one else that comes into my house. He denied it, but you could tell by his body language that he was lying. He proceeded to ask me how much the coin was worth. I have filed a police report at this time, and my purpose of this report is to be sure you don't make the same mistake I did by letting this man into my house. REBUTTAL TO SERVICE PROVIDER RESPONSE: (9/7/10) He had the run of my house because he had possession of my garage door opener. He would come and leave when he pleased. He is not a friend of mine. I saw him in my jewelry box as well as my safe and I believe he took my air loom coin which was inside the jewelry box. The work he did for me was fair, not the greatest. I do not owe him 60 dollars. I could not have called him to tell him it was the wrong account because I only have one account. He was a handyman who had become familiar with me and the house. I am a senior citizen who has been taken advantage of. THE COIN WAS NOT MISPLACED. IT WAS MISSING AFTER HE LEFT THE HOUSE.
Description of Work: He has replaced faucets, repaired gutters, appliance repair, small painting jobs, and other handyman jobs.

Response from STEVE'S HOME MAINTENANCE
These accusations are completely false. I have literally done thousands of dollars of improvements for the member with no complaints and she continued to hire me time and time again. At no time did I ever look in her jewelry box or safe for valuables. (In fact, I installed her safe for her.) I have never taken anything from a customer and never would. You can see from my numerous "Super Service" awards and the reports from more than 120 Angie's List customers, that I am an honest and trustworthy businessman. I worked in the heating and cooling service business for more than 18 years, then as a handyman for the last 10 years. I have never taken anything from a customer's home and I never would. This business is my livelihood and my reputation is at stake whenever I work for a customer. I would not jeopardize that reputation and would certainly never steal from a customer. I have worked for the member and her daughter for more than 8 years without complaint. I am sorry that she misplaced her coin, but there is no excuse for blaming an innocent person and publishing lies on my company report page. She needs to remove the report, and also pay me the $60 she still owes me. She wrote me a check, then called to ask that I not cash it because it was from the wrong account. Of course I complied, she was a friend of mine. She still has not paid her debt.

Steve was very efficient and fixed it very quickly. Very professional, efficient and worth every penny- very reasonable in cost. He has done other work for us, including heating and air conditioning repair and maintenence, as well as lots of stuff on my "honey do" list (my honey is NOT handy). We HIGHLY recommend him- he was great.
Description of Work: Furnace would not turn on. We called Steve and he came over within a few hours to check it out.
Description of Work: Replaced and outdoor light and patched a hole undre roof flashing.

My concern was that the things I needed repaired might be too small....but Steve assured me that no job was too small. I had sliding doors sticking, a plugged sink, screen door knob, light fixture, etc. and Steve just went about his business and everything was repaired.
Description of Work: Steve responded within the day and we scheduled an appt. for the following day. Steve was actually early, we discussed what I needed done and he proceeded to "get er done". Steve did an excellent job and was willing to please. I would definately call on Steve again.....am very pleased with his work.

Steve appeared on schedule and started on the list of problems. One by one, he patiently fixed each problem. He was enthusiastic, efficent and diagnosed each solution quickly. He finished in 2 hrs. and will come back to replace the couplings on the hoses. Steve is a terrific resource for any homeowner. I hope NEVER to be without him in the future.
Description of Work: A series of household problems occurred in the past 2 weeks that necessitated my finding a Handyperson in Angie's List. Thank goodness for Angie's List where I found Steve Malinoski. I called him on 7/27 and he immediately made an appointment with me. I had a long list which included a broken mail chute, a watering hose device which had stopped working, several water hoses that need couplings replaced, the wheel had fallen off my Weber Grille, an office light had fallen off the wall, an art sculpture fountain had stopped working some time ago because no one cold figure out how to get the fountain and the tubing to function.

He was busy with other jobs, but was able to fit in seeing what was needed in the morning, and come back to do the work later in the day. He assesses the problem quickly and accurately, and does the work efficiently.

Also cleaned out housing of second bathroom fan. Removed worn hardware from kitchen cabinet doors that would no longer close, and replaced with new hardware.

Steve personally answered the phone when I called, came out the next day for estimate, arrived 10minutes early on the day of the job and completed all in 2 1/2 hrs. Really nice guy that knows his stuff. He even saved me money by repairing rather than replacing my arbor. Very satisfied, will definitely use him again.
Steve responded to my call promptly. He looked at our problem the same day that I called him, and made an appointment to start working on it the next day. He arrived on time, and cleaned out the damaged ceiling, in the process finding several decades worth of botched repairs from the previous owners. He spent extra time clearing out all of the mess and fixing the whole thing, without going over the initial estimate that he gave us. He did a great job matching the repaired part of the ceiling to the rest of it.
Description of Work: Steve repaired damage to our kitchen ceiling from a leak in the upstairs bathtub.

Overall after waiting a week haven't heard nothing and since I also had expressed interest in having the whole casement replace since it is old, I am stumped as to why the person he said would recommend and call me hasn't done so. I'm very perplexed why you tell somebody something and you don't follow up. I have given up and will not recommend Steve's Home Maintentance to anyone.
Description of Work: Talked to Steve about a broken window and he came out to look at it right away and I was quite impressed with him coming out so quickly. He did some measurements and said somebody who is into windows would give me a call, and gave me his name.

Sorry about this. When you called you gave me your address, but not your phone number (it was "restricted" on the caller ID). After looking at the job I realized when I got home that I did not have your contact number to give to my window guy. I was hoping you'd give me a call back or I was planning on swinging by the next time I was in the area. Sorry about the mix-up.

Steve was very friendly and accommodating and he did an excellent job on the bathroom. Also, I hadn't noticed the toilet leaking anymore so I am pretty sure he fixed that too. I didn't have a need to go up in the attic yet so I didn't have an opportunity to see the work he did at installing the venting but based upon my satisfaction with the two other jobs, I'm sure he did a great job on that too. His price was really reasonable. Steve was definitely a hard worker for every minute he was at my house. In fact, I was sitting down in the living room and just listening to him work, made me tired :-). I plan to ask him to do other jobs for me. I would not hesitate recommending him to my family and friends.
Description of Work: Repaired Drywall in bathroom above bathtub and replaced tile that had fallen off. Also fixed leaking toilet by replacing wax seal and securing much better to floor. Finally, ran flexible tubing from bathroom exhaust fan to an existing roof vent.

He does spectacular work. About 40 years ago we had a pipe organ installed in our living room. I decided to have it removed. When it was removed, there was a large hole left in wall,. Most recently, I had him put in a new wall, flooring, ceiling, and I was thrilled with his work. He also painted everything. He had to do alot of restoration. He is the neatest service professional I have ever had in my home. He even fit me in around other jobs. He is prompt and responsive.
Description of Work: He's done alot of projects for me over the past three years.
