He is very good. The price is per hour and seemed to be an average.

I've been very pleased with his services.  He is friendly yet professional and very polite.  Friends and relatives who have seen his work at my home have asked who completed the jobs, and one friend consequently hired him to do work at her home and was pleased also.

Mr. Samsky had to come back to redo the Restore on front porch and walk because of damage by unexpected snow and hail we experienced on March 17th.  He came and spent entire Sunday (4/13) to make sure everything was done according to our agreements.

We had gotten another estimate, at twice the cost, for the same work but it entailed a whole day's work, several workers and more than we thought necessary for a simple repair.
Mr. Samsky approached the job  with the intent of making it as simple and logical as possible.  No major repairs were needed. The rotting board was removed, the new board cut and nailed, and necessary caulking applied to prevent further problems.  He then proceeded to apply two coats of paint to the new wood.  The whole process took less than three hours and has held up very well in the ensuing months.  I'd certainly use Mr. Samsky again.

I just had a licensed plumber tell me that Samsky did *not* solder the bathroom plumbing ... he *GLUED* the copper pipes together (and the plumber showed me) -- a DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.  He also didn't seat the faucet properly and installed a gasket upside down, which ended up causing a leak that came through the ceiling below. The plumber told me that it was so bad (never seen anything like it!) that it was grounds for legal action.  Prior to having the plumber out, I knew that I had been wronged by Samsky ... just didn't know the extent.  I wish I could attribute it to plain old incompetence/ignorance, but sadly, I believe the shameful workmanship was motivated strictly by greed.  The only thing he is good for is putting perfume on a pig.  What a bad egg this guy is.  But karma is a B, and he will undoubtedly reap what he sows eventually.
Response from Samsky's Home Services
"This work was completed January 7, 2011, and not January of 2013. The total price was $3296, The scope of the work was to install a tub and surround in the hall bath, replace cabinet doors and lights in the hall bath and master bath, install new facets and shower heads in the hall bath and master bath, paint the cabinets in the hall bath and master bath, install a threshold in the hall bath, repair drywall in the linen closet, replace the diverter cartridge in the hall bath (the source of a leak),replace cabinet hardware in the hall bath and master bath, caulk master bath shower, and paint the hall bath. The price we offered was far less than other estimates, and since she had used us before, and obviously been happy, she used us again. We did not replace the diverter valve, so there was no "gluing" or soldering done by us. We started at the time both parties agreed to, and finished when we said we would, showing up a 9:30 every morning and working until 6. We made other repairs for her at no extra charge. At the end of the week, she was very happy with the work, paid us, and we were gone, She called me the next morning and was extremely upset that one cabinet knob was not perfectly centered. In a snowstorm I drove to her home and was there within an hour of her call, fixing the problem in five minutes. She sat on the floor crying the few minutes I was there, and when I asked what was wrong, she said that it was her house and if she wanted to cry that was up to her. When I left she said something to the effect of "thanks for coming over, I hope that we can still be friends, and no hard feelings". I never had any hard feelings, don't know why I would, and while I'm friendly to my customers, I don't think they or I consider us friends. She was one of many customers I try to do my best to make happy. Nothing more, nothing less."

John gave an estimate by email which turned out to be quite accurate (actually cost a little less).  His pricing is fair, he shows up as scheduled, and does excellent work.  He is dependable.  I will use again if the need arises.

Absolutely perfect!  He was on time, efficient, and left my home without a speck of dirt or trash.
