Description of Work: Roman Tub drain installed, cabinets repaired, painting, installation of faucet and bathroom vanity, installation of bathroom fan/heater/light. Other stuff as well.
Member Comments: Andy's work is of the highest quality. He is meticulous and detailed. I hired him on a per hour basis which I would recommend against. I felt that although the work was of the highest quality, that it might have gone faster and cost less if we had agreed on an estimate first. Andy did not "milk" me. I was totally pleased with the work done. It's just that he loves to do a job well and that took time. He is a great happy guy.

Member Comments: Work involved repeated visits by Dan and staff when one should have been sufficient. Bad communication between Dan and staff. Could not get right hardware. Seemed unable to finish job. Finally we just said "That's enough!" and sent them away with the job unfinished, not really adequate. Would never hire these guys again.
