Mike is highly skilled, trustworthy, and refreshingly reliable in a profession that does not always maintain that standard. In the past, we had terrible experiences with contractors; but you will not regret hiring Mike. He installed our crown and picture molding, plus moved the cable to mount the tv on the opposite side of the room. Highly recommend them and look forward to working with him on all our future projects.

Basement Remodeling
We hired Michael Ward to finish our basement including a full bathroom with a walk in shower and closets. Michael was a pleasure to work with. He is a professional, knowledgeable and experienced contractor who takes pride in his work. His prices are very competitive and he completed the entire job at a timely manner. We are very satisfied with the end result. The finished basement looks flawless and the new bathroom is beautiful. I highly recommend Michael and will hire him if I have any other projects in the future.

I thought Michael was very reasonable for the price and did a wonderful job on new baseboards in the kitchen. He also helped me correct the trim around the top of my cabinets:) Fantastic job all the way around

Michael and his helper Ed did a great job fixing the ceiling, installing wood panels and building some shelves for our garage in September. They are professional and punctuate. The quality of their carpentry work is very good. I would definitely recommend him.

Doors (Interior) Installation and Replacement
The project included the installation of 4 interior doors and one bedroom closet sliding door. The charge was $700 which I thought was high. Sliding door was not hung straight. Driveway covered in sawdust.
Response from
"$700 was the quoted price 2 carpenters 7 hours . the drivway was swept not vacuumed . the replaced door was adjusted as much as possible the existing jamb was 3/4 of a inch out of plumb"

Michael delivered as promised. He was very polite and showed up on time. He actually finished ahead of schedule, despite the fact we added chair rail to the dining room. I would have given him all 5 ratings had he taken the time to protect the floors/carpet so we didn't need to vacuum after he left each day. Also, he left lamps lying on the couch when he finished. These are minor issues but things that bring it to the next level. All in all, we are very pleased with the work and would call him again or refer to a friend.
