Steve did a fantastic job! We put a bathroom in my basement and he had to deal with some very cumbersome plumbing; drain, that were already in the concrete floor. He was able to do it all without having to cut any concrete! He was able to run plumbing from the existing lines and get everything perfectly positioned! Extremely knowledgeable and practical in his approach to a quality finished product! I highly recommend him and will definitely call on him again when the need arises! Thank you Steve!

Not only is Steve unfailingly polite, he was incredibly punctual and responsive to our overall needs. My husband is retired military and qualified for a one time life benefit from the VA to customize a bathroom tailored to his needs. Steve’s critical eye and attention to detail exceeded our expectations on all facets. We will most certainly utilize his expertise in all other future endeavors.

Steve did a great job in my house. He worked hard until he got everything just right! On one of the jobs, I asked Steve to touch up some marks on my interior wall but I didn’t know the paint color. Even though the business where he got the paint did not match the paint correctly several times, Steve continued until he found a place that matched the paint perfectly.

We couldn't be happier with our shower/bath project that Steve completed for us. Truly exceeded our expectations. We had multiple quotes from many contractors and felt most comfortable with Steve. His prices are more than fair. Quality of work was 10 out of 10. He is consistent, dependable and reliable. The project was completed in the appropriate amount of time. When selecting our materials, he went out of his way to ensure we got what we wanted and even met us at the showroom to provide sound advice when purchasing fixtures, shower pan, shower door, etc. Very professional and a pleasure to talk too. Highly recommended.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I love being able to solve and repair whatever the customers request is. I absolutely hate the money side of being in business. Until people get to know me and the service I provide I think whatever rate I charge is seen as excessive.
Customers need to consider all the expenses that are incurred just to provide this service.
Listing just a few expenses would include vehicles, fuel, tools, insurance, advertising, taxes and so forth. My bids take all these things into account. In my many years in this line of work I have had to come in and clean up the mess made by the company or person who had the low bid.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I provide free inspections and estimates for all my customers.
I encourage customers to let me know if something I am doing is not actually what they expected so we can make sure we are on the “same page” so to speak and quickly identify areas of miss-communications.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
The actual service I provide in large part comes from years of hands on experience across many trades. While it is taught in schools, a person does not come out of school ready to complete with a seasoned technician.
My education was in business management and computer science. (More than a few years back) While that is helpful in running a business, my education in the “school of hard knocks” is what will be of benefit to my customers.
