I came upon this plumbing company after having a new counter top installed requiring a sink and faucet. They are reliable, dependable and most importantly, honest! As a homeowner, the advice I received about other plumbing issues in my home was well taken. No pressure, just facts, take it or leave it. They were available to assist. They cleaned up after their work. That is the way I like to do business and considering there have been 3 other plumbers in and out of this house in the past 18 months, I really appreciated the wise advice I received from this experienced plumber!

Mike's work is great and he comes highly recommended. He was able to provide emergency service when I arrived home from a trip to find the water and filtration had not been turned on by another contractor, which was much appreciated. However, he is sometimes difficult to reach and needs to find a way to reply to messages within a reasonable amount of time when he is busy so that clients can make other arrangements!

I have used this company for a variety of jobs, starting with "handyman miscellaneous" jobs and ending with complete replacement of 3 walls of siding, a new garage roof, new soffits and eaves, and replacement windows. Dean Otter has decades of experience in this area. After enlisting this company to replace my siding, I can clearly see the difference between the DIY installation of siding on my garage by a previous owner and the professional installation on the house. This improvement has increased the value of my home and ensured it is waterproof -- but it also looks much better! I have been completely satisfied with the work ethic, timeliness, and craftsmanship of the work and would recommend them to anyone.

I enlisted this company to do a number of what seemed like fairly small jobs around my newly purchased home. However, what we found as we went along, turned out to be major repairs including replacement of a garage roof and venting, replacement of all the siding on three walls of the house, new eaves..However, the biggest surprise was when we found a 50in square window hidden underneath the siding, several broken windows that had not been properly removed on the other side of the house and very bad renovation practices from previous owners. If I hadn't had experienced contractors like Tim and Dean, I would have been in a terrible situation. They were able to repair these issues properly and give me piece of mind, replacing the window, putting in a new closet on the opposite side of the wall. I am very pleased with their work and will use them again.

I chose Mr Galvin because he is highly regarded and well-reviewed. I certainly found him pleasant, patient and approachable when I asked a few questions about his report. The report identified some seemingly minor items that needed attention and my decision to purchase this house, despite misgivings about the previous owner, was somewhat mitigated by his inspection. However, after closing, I have been left with over 20K worth of repairs, including a 50" square rotting wood window, located behind the siding and apparently producing the mildew Mr Galvin himself identified in the closet that had been built on the inside. Broken roof trusses in the attic cavity, and improperly installed vinyl siding around all 3 walls. These are only a few examples of expensive repairs that were not revealed in his report. Recently retired, I have now spent almost all my savings trying to fix up a lemon I would probably never have purchased with more diligent advice from all parties involved. While I understand there are many things that a simple home inspection cannot reveal, there are some significant issues that arose after closing which I feel should have been highlighted; others that went completely undiscovered. Perhaps these could at least have lead to a credit on the purchase price.

Broc has proven to be reliable, dedicated, knowledgeable. He worked for a day and a half on my residential projects and hardly took a break. He gets 5 stars for patience as I dithered about locating different fixtures around the house!

This company was certainly "reliable". They provided an estimate, arrived on time, and finished the job in a professional manner. I am pleased with the results and will be adding more fencing in the Spring.

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

The service technician was very professional. He covered all the bases and he asked all the usual questions. He also reassured me that the furnace is in order. Thanks again.
