I recently hired Smith n Grubbs Home Improvement, Troy, to redo the stairs at my property, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The work was completed efficiently, with excellent attention to detail, and the finished stairs look fantastic. The team was professional, courteous, and very easy to communicate with throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality GC and handyman work.

I recently had some work done on my condo to prepare it for renting and had a great experience with Hylas from Smith and Grubbs Home Improvement. He was quick and competent; he helped me understand what needed to be done and figured out solutions to several problems (a wonky front door, how best to spruce up a fixture, etc.) that I hadn't thought of. Thanks, Hylas. I'll certainly be contacting you soon about installing that ceiling fan!

Hylas was fantastic. I had some bad damage to my wall after a massive TV mount was removed and my mantel was ruined a bit too. Hylas was thorough on explaining what he needed to do, what he needed to get things done, and gave me an idea of cost as well.
His work was clean and quick and made sure to go over what he did. Given that I am moving out of an apartment, he offered to come back and touch up/finish anything the apartment maintenance crew would want before I turned over my unit. Top notch service, top notch person. I look forward to using Smith & Grubbs again.

Had them out to replace some fascia boards last year, we ended up having them do the whole house! Once they installed over garage, you could really tell a difference in the boards, looked so much better. We will call again! Ann
