Scuba Steve Premier Handyman and Remodeling Services

The kitchen ceiling fan was a bit troublesome, but that was no fault on Steve's part. The junction box was the culprit but Steve solved the problem. The pressure washing made the house sparkle and the stain on the deck has renewed the deck. Awesome job guys! Thank-you for your hard work.

Steve handled everything very professionally. He was easy to work with and very competent. During estimation he told us what he expected to have to do and how much he expected it to cost. He was upfront about his time table to be able to start. Once he started, the project flowed smoothly. He replaced the broken French drain that caused the moisture intrusion. Afterwards, he removed the moldy carpeting, tack strips, drywall, and studs. During the project, we asked him to upgrade the room from fluorescent to LED with a dimmer. He was upfront about the added cost. He cleaned the mold off the concrete, filled the cracks in the concrete and sealed it up. Then he replaced the studs and drywall and painted the whole room. He supervised the carpet installation at our request. What was once a molded bonus room is now a fully functional, comfortable, and beautiful homeschool room for our children. Thank you, Steve!!!

He was excellent I would give him five stars. He returned phone calls, he was prompt, courteous and professional. He worked everyday and kept us up to date and pays good attention to details. We are using him again for another project.

The bathroom floor isn't level. He tried 3 times with "self leveling cement" and couldn't get it right. For a remodel pro with 30 years experience, that's ridiculous. The rest of the project had it's problems but turned out Ok. I'll have somebody else come in and fix the floor. If they are able to pour a level floor on the first try, Ill come back and change this review to 2 stars. Steve is very personable, answers your questions, and explains what he's doing, but in the end, the result speaks for itself. The bathroom has a big bump in the middle of the floor.

Steve responded promptly to my request for Quote on work needed unlike several others I'd contacted. He came out and provided a Quote on everything asked for and gave me an good explanation on what the jobs would take and how he'd go about it. He quoted all jobs and gave me a schedule within a week of when he could come out and do everything. Steve was out as scheduled performed all the work (except the Deck which was scheduled for the next day) with no assistance needed from us and very professionally. The next day was washed out due to rain and as soon as we had a break in the weather Steve showed up again, went right to work and finished the last job once again better than we hoped we'd get. Steve is a Professional and does exactly what he says he'll do. We are very happy to find him and even happier about the work he did for us.

We had our bathroom floor redone with ceramic tile. Steve does a great job and is knowledgeable of his profession! He shows efficiency and quality in his work. He gave us recommendations and helped us with any questions we had. He will be our go to for any future house work or repairs! A+++

Steve did a fantastic job remodeling our master bath. From demo to completion took 3 weeks (M-F, from about 8 AM to 2 PM every day.) He showed up every single day on time except once for a family emergency, but he called and gave us notice, so no worries at all. He explained everything he was doing along the way, and had good advice on things like grout choices, finishes, etc. You get more than what you pay for with Steve. We've used several different companies and handymen for our house projects, but going forward we'll always call Steve first.

It went well. Scuba Steve was early,worked hard, fast and smart. I would definitely hire him again.

Pretty simple. Everything asked was done.

First, I received a call from "scuba Steve" asking if he could come several hours early. When he arrived, he appeared to immediately have a bad attitude. Still, I attempted to pleasantly interact with him to review the needed repairs. He began to tell me this would probably cost...were probably looking at...I then shared with him that I would have to have a written estimate at his convenience. This appeared to anger him, he stormed off, got in his van and left. No further contact, certainly, no written estimate. Very unprofessional.

Steve was excellent in his straight forward manner and honesty in evaluating the job and providing a quote. He showed up early every day he was scheduled to work and accomplished the work he said he would do. And he did an excellent job. I added more to the job as it went and Steve was fair and direct in how he could do it, fitting it into his work schedule and providing a fair quote. I've kept his business card in case I want any future remodeling or repair work done - a direct, honest, and competent contractor is hard to find.

Steve worked miracles on our old house & within our budget. This old house had some issues but Steve had solutions for everything that came up, he made our bathroom so beautiful & his suggestions for solutions reflected his vast experience. He’s a hard worker!

Steve was easy to reach and replied the same day as my inquiry. After I gave an honest description of the job that I needed done, I received a verbal good faith estimate of the job. The next day Steve came to the home to see the project first hand and give a written quote. After looking at the job, Steve decided to pass. I believe that it was more than he desired to do and he realized that he underbid the job. I think we both ended up on the right side of things. He did not want the job and I did not feel confident either. I am now looking for another bid. I am sure that it will be more, but that is okay. A workman is worthy of his hire. I just hope to find someone that is priced fair that I feel comfortable with.

Good job. Started and finished when he said.

We knew we had a leak and other issues in our master bath shower. We thought possibly the tile/shower needed to be completely replaced. Called Steve to get an estimate to replace tile/shower. Turned out to be a faulty pipe that Steve replaced. Steve was easy to coordinate with, was here when he said he would be here, thorough and honest. Will definitely use him going forward for repairs and remodeling.

Arrived on time each day. Works fast and efficiently. Meticulous about details and polite. Very satisfied with work performance and end results. Would gladly have him do more work when needed.

I called this guy up for a quote He had a bad attitude from the very start I finally convinced him to come and take a look at the job instead of give me some stupid number over the phone he told me he had a job he had to go take a look at and after the job he'll come over here and take a look at this one but he didn't instead he made up some stupid excuse that he called me which he did not and give me a ridiculous price I will never do business with this guy

Steve has moved from Northern Illinois for family reasons. He is not available anymore in this region for his valuable skills.

Steve was very punctual, 30 minutes early from when he said he would be here to start working. Always communicated his status updates or issues. He is very knowledgeable, confident and proud of his work. And I can see why... in one week he managed to transform our sad, pathetic, embarrassment of a shower area into a beautifully stunning shower area that we could finally be proud of. We can't thank Steve enough for his hard work and craftsmanship the quality is second to none!

I hired Steve before for some carpentry work and he did exceptionally well. Steve instructed me on what items I would need to purchase. It went well.

I have contracted Steve multiple times for various around the home projects and have been very satisfied each and every time. He takes pride in his work and is ready to work as soon as he walks in the door. I recommend Steve and will definitely hire again when the need arises.

It went very well he’s always on time. He meets me at the store so I will get the right items I need for job.He always responds quickly. Yes I will keep hiring him as long as he working he’s a good person

Could not do it until August. It’s May!! I had to put a rating down to submit. He did not preform service however he responded immediately! A+
