LeeAnn B. says, "We LOVE Max!! He is a jack of all trades, if you need ANYTHING done he knows how to do it. We have hired him twice, first to tear down two walls, and relocate electrical work, and his wall patching was great. Second to instal a kitchen cabinet and hang our microwave. He does not rush, and he will run to the store if more tools/supplies are needed for the job. Max will make sure the job is done properly, and will make sure it is done to perfection. He is honest, fair pricing and intelligent. We felt very confident and comfortable with him completing our tasks in our new home. We will absolutely hire him again! (We only had one handle for the new cabinet!)"See more

Pat C. says, "This was the second time I scheduled Bryan for some repairs. Bryan arrived as scheduled. He replaced rotten wood, hardware, worked on the fence gate and storage shed. When he finished, the shed looked new and I can also finally open and close my fence gate properly. Bryan also completed a couple of replacement parts inside. He is very conscientious of his finished product. He arrives as scheduled, or lets you know otherwise, starts working and leaves the area cleaned up. I have no reservations about referring Bryan to my friends. He is an independent tradesman with experience and skills in many areas."See more
