My wife and I needed our bathroom updated since it hadn’t been worked on since the 70s. I did some of the demo myself and Steve did the remaining demo and rebuilt the bathroom which included moving the shower and changing a linen closet into a laundry closet. While he was working on the bathroom, I was working on other parts of the house. Steve did an amazing job with our bathroom. He is detail oriented, has a professional demeanor, and is fair when it comes to pricing. An added bonus was that he gave me advice when I asked questions about other projects around the house. He also let me use his tools. The overall project took about 2 months which included his help on a few other side projects around the house. I felt like our bathroom was in good hands throughout the whole process and the final outcome looks better than my wife and I imagined. I would certainly recommend him to take care of any of your remodeling needs. I’m planning on using him for our other bathroom when we’re ready for that.

Called Steve today, 10-9-19, asking for him to come to my house to get a quote. He told me he was too busy to take on my project!! Wonder why he still ls listed on Angie’s list if he is too busy to take on additional projects. Just wondering

It's unfortunate that you took the time to post a negative review to what I believe was a positive interaction. I'm unclear why you're "just wondering" why I'm still on Angie's List when I took your call & explained in detail that I don't give estimates for jobs that I'm too busy to take. I pay to be on here, that's why I'm still on here, and I try to field as many calls as I can, as I did for you yesterday. Perhaps your time would be better spent looking for someone to do your work rather than posting a negative review about a small business that you had no experience with other than a phone call.

It went very well Two men came who were very nice friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They did an excellent job of painting my step, rails, wooden bilco doors, and one side of patio. When they were finished everything was left in pristine condition. Will use The Neighborhood Handyman from Mt Laurel again and recommend him.

Steve is a good guy and provided service in a timely fashion. I reached out to him via angies list and he called me back a day later and then came over and gave a estimate on that day (Saturday). The work was completed the following week and he did a great job. He showed up when he said he was going to and finished the work when he said it was going to be completed. He also emailed me pictures of the work and the final result. He was responsive to both text messages and phone calls. I would/will be using him again in the future.

My tenant had a leaky faucet and the first plumber we called said that he couldn't do the work because he would need to knock through some drywall to get to the leak. I found Steve on Angie's List and gave him a call to see if he could take care of it. He came out the next morning to take a look and said that he could easily fix the leak directly without needing to go through the drywall. He came by the following morning and fixed the leak. I am so grateful for Steve's quick response and his excellent work. I will definitely call him again.

This is not an accurate review. I did not have a message from you or a call to return. Also, you are out of my service area. Please be sure that you are reviewing the correct business. There should not be a "Work Completed Date" because I did not complete a project for you or have a record of any communication with you. Good luck with your project. Steve Gengaro

The bedroom was in bad shape, and we needed it done quickly, as our daughter and her husband were visiting in less than a week's time. Steve did an outstanding job in our short time frame. He also completed some minor repairs around the house. I found Steve to be professional and dependable. I plan to use his services again in the near future.

Steve, was prompt, professional, and completed the jobs. No issues with the work. With it being so hard to find handymen willing to take on small jobs, and not totally over-charge you, I think the price was fair. I would definitely recommend and hire Steve again.

I never got a response to my question. He left a voice mail and I tried him at the number several times and did not get a response. This weekend he just emailed me again and said they can do it on October 27th, which is too late for me. I can not say anything regarding the quality of his service, because we never got that far. Please reimburse my money and cancel his service. I will find someone local. He is from New Jersey and I live on the western side of Philadelphia.

With all due respect, I am not "these people" I am a very small business and do most of the work myself, so perhaps the time that you spent writing this negative review would have been better spent finding someone to do your urgent job. Don't review people that you don't have a direct experience with. Steve Gengaro

He was very thorough. He found that I needed backer board in one area and installed that. He reglued the tiles after adding the board and caulked the tub. In addition, he removed a bad clog in my bathroom sink. He communicated well and did what he said he would.

I could not have been more pleased with the results! Steve worked largely on his own and provided periodic updates as he completed different stages of the restoration without prompting from me. He completed on-time and any additional materials or effort needed was explained and my approval obtained before doing it. The property manager I have used for years was incredibly impressed by the final result of Steve's work as well. And that I took as high praise indeed.

Let me start by saying that I can be classified as a "difficult" customer. It took forever for us to get approval from the insurance company which delayed the scheduling of the work. Then when we finally got the check, there was a tight schedule Steve had to work with. To top things off, after agreeing to a timeline, stuff happens and I had to change the schedule again...a nightmare for any contractor. I got three bids for the work and Steve's was the highest. Why did I pick him? He described what he was going to do and it was clear that he was very meticulous with his work. This is our home and while we had a budget we did not want cheap craftmanship or a contractor that hired third party guys. I wanted to know who was going to be coming in and out of our home so decided to pay the premium for the personal service of a company who was family owned and operated. Steve delivered quality work as promised and was patient with the many changes in requirements. There were other issues found while he took down the damaged drywall and contacted me to explain and worked with my budget. I was very pleased and would recommend his services to anyone who asked...unfortunately this guy is super busy. Good for him!

He's from Angie's List.? His name is Steve Gengaro.? His work was very good.? We are very happy with him.? The whole house needed a lot of work and we were going to use him for numerous days so he gave us per hour price but he has since complained that it wasn't really enough.
Description of Work: We used Steve's Remodeling & Handyman Services LLC to put in a sliding glass door for us during the torrential rain storm.

It's normally my policy not to dispute any A.L. reviews b/c A.L. list members are encouraged to share their experiences, but it's not accurate to state that I "complained" that the rate wasn't enough. I explained the complexity of the set-up & labor to do this exterior job properly, & I reworked your estimate numerous times for free, b/c you are a good and valued customer. I never quote anything other than a fair price.

Steve did an excellent job -- he started the work quickly, kept to a schedule, updated us with photographs (we were out of town) throughout the process, and his handiwork was excellent. He was always accessible and obliging. We are using his services on another project to replace and update our fireplace. The price of the service listed above included the new doors, vanity, etc. which he purchased for us. We were very satisfied with his work and professionalism and would highly recommend him!
Description of Work: Took up existing tile in kitchen and bathroom and replaced with new tile, put new closet doors in bedroom, bathroom, and foyer, installed new toilet, vanity, and shower door, and patched and painted where existing shower rod was removed.
