Looks great. Always addressed me politely, consulted with me on choosing new fixtures, and he explained the steps to be completed to finish the project.

It went great. The job was beautifully done and completed on time. Everything was cleaned up perfectly. I would highly recommend
Herb Bauer.

Herb refinished our basement by taking out the old carpet and fixtures and replaced with new tile and all new bathroom fixtures. He updated two bathrooms and installed tile flooring in the basement and both bathrooms. He built in a beautiful bar complete with refrigerator, ice maker and custom cabinets. He painted the walks, ceiling, trim and doors. My husband had a vision for the basement and Herb completed the job above and beyond his satisfaction. Herb always cleans up after himself, is punctual and reliable. He is the type of contractor I trust to be in my house even when I am not home. He even completed our job a week early. We made some changes along the way and Herb worked with us and was flexible when we couldn't make immediate decisions. He has made several improvements to our home over the years. We really enjoy working with Herb. He does outstanding work at very competitive pricing.

He does excellent work and he is also very reliable.

Job started and completed on schedule, wall repair excellent, painting excellent and quick.  Herb, much more skilled that associate who cut not cut as clean and edge and dripped more.  They did a nice job and were easy to work with.

This was a 2-day project; the second day was scheduled for 2 weeks later because I had to order more wallpaper.The first day went well and the work was great, Mr. Bauer E-mailed me the first portion of the bill and I mailed him the payment.
The second day was an extremely negative experience.   His carpenter had given me the measurements for the piece of wood for the kickplate under the vanity, and I gave the measurements to a family friend that is a woodworker.  When his carpenter went to install the kickplate, it was about 1" too short.  I was there when my friend measured and cut the wood, so I know it was the correct length.  However, when I told Mr. Bauer that his carpenter must have measured wrong, he very rudely said "He never measures wrong".  Its not the fact that the measurement was wrong, it was the arrogance of his response to me.  His carpenter came and "made it work", and it looks just fine.
I was outdoors when Mr. Bauer was finished and on the way back inside he told me that the bill was on the counter, I told him ok, I will send it to him like I did last time.  Very rudely, with my neighbors outside, he said that I "knew he was coming today" and he wanted a check today.  I wrote him a check and he left.  After he left I went into the bathroom to see his final work and could not believe what I saw!  He was to install the toilet paper holder (for an extra charge) and had attempted to do so but  had made a rather large hole in the drywall, so he moved it further front and papered over the hole in the wall with a patch of wallpaper without repairing it!   There was a major indentation in the wallpaper where the hole was that could have easily been poked through, it was very, very noticeable.  I called him back and he took the entire length of wallpaper down, and came back the next day to spackle and put up another strip of wallpaper.  It looks just fine now but my thoughts are did he either think I wouldn't notice, which is totally impossible, wouldn't say anything, or am I just a dumb woman?  The only thing he said about the situation was "Sorry about that".

The last project Mr Bauer tackled for me was the interior of an apartment in a Victorian building I bought in 2003.  He patched the cracks, painted the apartment, and volunteered to return to touch-up the paint after the new carpet was laid. His prompt attention to detail allowed me to find a new tenant quickly.

When he came for the estimate he was exactly one time. Once we hired him, he came promptly every day, was easy to work with, and left the area very clean. The room looked great when he was done. The walls were repaired and you would never know how bad the walls looked. He also hung the lincrusta perfectly. I am still trying to find the seams and I cant! Great job for somebody that is very picky.

He painted the interior of our home and showed up every day at 7:30 am as promised. He worked a full day and was very neat and tidy. He was totally accommodating to my schedule. He was very easy to work with.
