We found out about Martin by “word of mouth” from another handyman who realized the scope of our job was probably a bit large for his area of expertise. Being new to the area we knew what we wanted but didn’t know where to start. We are grateful that Martin was recommended to us. Our jobs consisted of one major master bath gut/remodel, a medium tile floor install and toilet install in the guest bath, a toilet/vanity install in a third half bath, hanging a large chandelier over the front entry and hanging a large ceiling fan from an 18-foot ceiling. As you can see, we had quite the work to be done! Martin came to evaluate the jobs and gave a very practical estimate of cost and timeline. We were impressed with his candid evaluation and his desire to help us understand exactly what to expect. He also made sure that we understood how he arrived at his estimates and he detailed factors which may affect those estimates. He didn’t want us to have any surprises but he also wanted us to know that a large job like this given the age of our home may uncover items which need to be addressed. While this was a major undertaking, he pledged to work with as little disruption to our home and lives as possible. Martin suggested working on the smaller job (guest bath floor/toilet) first so we could see his work and get a feel for having a remodel in our home before moving on to the major job in the master bath. Since we have never lived in a home during construction, we liked the idea of giving us time to adjust to it. Unfortunately when you buy a home, the inspector doesn’t always catch what lies beneath fresh paint and flooring. When Martin started the demo of the original floor in the guest bath, there was extensive rot in the sub-flooring. He immediately called me and texted me photos and discussed our options. He promised to do everything he could to keep any additional expenses for materials and labor to a minimum. After going over the new math. It was clear to me that he was committed to keeping our costs a low as he could. The floor was repaired, tile installed and looks excellent. We are very happy with it. Now it was time for the major job. Martin took care of ordering the dumpster and removing all of the debris from the demolition. He took care to cover all floors with paper and put plastic over doorways to minimize dust. Since the master bath was attached to the master bedroom, we decided to move into a guest bedroom for the duration. Even though this job was a huge undertaking, I told him that had it not been for the obvious progress being made in the bath, I wouldn’t have known they were there! Martin took exceptional care to minimize any disruption to us. I cant emphasize how easy it was to live in the home with the work ongoing. It’s important to know that the job we had was major. It involved taking the walls down to the studs, moving electrical and plumbing. A job like this is not going to come without expense. We were prepared for this but we still had a budget to work within. Martin wanted us to be happy with his work and he respected the budget we had set for the various jobs. He provided receipts for all supplies which also allowed me to return any unneeded supplies to Home Depot for a refund after he was done. He was very transparent with all aspects from start to finish. It’s important to know that you can trust someone to be in your home while you are at work. We had no concerns with Martin or his son whatsoever. We made the right choice to hire Martin. The quality of the work is exceptional and we know that we will be happy with his work for years to come.

Did a wonderful Job. Also pointed out things that I had not seen. We were getting this home ready to sell and Martin had firsthand experience in what the inspectors would be looking for. Impeccably honest and trustworthy!
