TRICKS OF THE TRADES INC

Niles and Chase were absolutely professional. After hearing stories from family and friends of their experiences with other contractors, I feel like I really lucked out choosing them. They were courteous, responsive, prompt, hardworking, creative, and cost appropriate. They did my bathroom in 7 1/2 days. I truly enjoyed working with them. The bathroom is gorgeous and they are really nice people.

The first project involved the addition of a bedroom in my upstairs along with floor refinishing, plaster repair, installation of new lighting and other miscellaneous repairs that needed to be done around the house. Although I interviewed several other contractors I was impressed with Niles creative solutions. He left me with a beautiful upstairs and added significant and much needed storage. The kitchen remodel was extensive and involved totally gutting the space and removing a chimney. A cabinet designer was brought in to help with the design as well. In addition a new linen closet was added in the hall. Communication was very important with this big project and I found them to be very professional and responsive. I have the kitchen of my dreams. I'd definitely work with them again and would highly recommend their services.

I had a really hard time scheduling the service and never ended up using the deal.  I believe they got overwhelmed with their offer. They were very slow to respond and I needed the service done more quickly than they could provide.  The coupon ended up expiring and I am now seeking a replacement deal.

They were great. One of the owners started the job with a co-worker, left while the worker finished. Both of them were professional and the job looks great! They seem, however, to get a lot of business as I called to have another room painted this summer and they were so busy they are unable to work me in until fall. So, call early!

He was a good guy. I thought it cost me much but he did a pretty good job. He was painting an old house and the paint was done pretty well but the preparation was not adequate. I'm a former home contractor so I know my trade and I don't think he did a good job in preparing the surface before he painted. I talked with about it and we let it be. He was basically pretty satisfactory guy for me. I was basically satisfied with him and the work that he did. The opening of the door and the little deck on the back was quite adequate. I don't remember how much it cost but it was good work.

very competent

It all went good and he put in air vent as a good gesture. Only part I did not like was that they broke my heater vent deflector and did not say anything. I did not see that until later.

Niles did a great job.  Communications between his office and myself were easy.  Turns out he remodeled the basments of two of my neighbors.  We will definitely use him again.

Well organized and timely

They did a great job. They showed up on time. They were clean and polite and they cleaned up after themselves and they completed the task as requested. My impressions were good. They were nice and friendly people. If I needed them, I'd probably use them. I would take them into consideration.

Various household repairs.

They kept cancelling, and at the last minute only came out one day instead of two, provided poor work, and left us for months with a partially finished project. They sent a young kid with inadequate supplies to do the work. He did what he wanted to do and not what I wanted, painted the bathroom the wrong color etc. Now, I have to put another coat of paint on a steep stairway that I didn't want painted, plus finish and fix the other work.

Very good prep job. The work was interrupted by rain, but they came back as soon as the weather cleared and finished up. They did a great job for us on this exterior painting job, just as they did with interior painting a year or so ago. (The interior painting was through an Angie's List Big Deal.) A big plus: They don't spray, which appealed to us especially because we have close neighbors on the south side. Everything was done with brush work. The final cost was the same as the original estimate.

They were good.

Arrived on time. assessed the situation and then repaired. It was a prolem door for sometime and I had tried many solutions and was ready to trash the door. He fixed it and for the last 2 yrs has been working wonderfully

The handyman was very efficient and professional.  He was a tanlented craftsman who was capable of completing myriad household repairs.  We would definitely use them again.

We had purchased a big deal for the service. I was moving at the time and they did a fine job. It looks fine, and the price was reasonable. They were here, and they were responsive, and the big deal price was fair. I would use them again, if there was another big deal.

Good job. Was very pleased!
