I wasn’t sure whether I needed a specialist like a plumber or roofer or something who handled drywall, since we had a leak somewhere in our bathroom that affected the walls, paint and windows. I decided to start with a handyman, and Franklin was the best choice. He explained what was going on with the outside window seals, how rain entered the walls and wasted no time setting up time to work on the repairs. The work was done quickly, and it looks like nothing ever happened. He gave us an honest deal. I would not hesitate to hire him again (in fact, we have a few other things around the house that need attention and might need to give him a ring.)

My first experience with Franklin was pleasant. After interviewing other contractors with my wife, we were able to decide shortly after our meeting that we would proceed with him. Franklin provided us with ideas based on our vision for our limited bathroom space. I wanted to hold out on submitting a review until after we had enough time to gather our thoughts and opinion upon completion of the project for a couple of weeks. Gladly, there are no issues to report at this time. Franklin was able to finish our project within budget and on time. He guarantees his work. I will be hiring him to do other projects on our home. I will submit a follow-up review in a couple of weeks.

Details: Bathroom • Tub / Shower enclosure • Floor • 101 - 200 sq ft • Wood • Porcelain • Yes, I already have the tiles
