Michael's Complete Home Maintenance

I highly discourage the use of this company. The owner flew off the handle extremely easily and cannot handle criticism on a poorly completed job. I hired the company to do a few drywall repairs, remove some acoustic from a bathroom ceiling, mud, and paint to a flat finish, replace a few sheets of siding, clean about 40 feet of gutter, and repair a damaged door jamb. The drywall patches turned out alright, the paint did not match very well but I was okay with that since I am going to have to repaint the room after I move out and before I rent out of property. The bathroom ceiling was left unfinished and with paint sprinkles all over the linoleum floor. The dust and construction debris were left for the customer to clean up, which I don't know if that's just the standard this company has but I find it unacceptable as a customer. I sucked it up and washed all the walls, fixtures, tub, and toilet myself and let it go. The work on the door jamb turned out GREAT, the employee he had do it did a fantastic job. The siding had to be special ordered which I understand takes time, but then he gave me two different times that he would be able to complete the work and failed to show up at either (mind you that I stressed the importance of meeting a deadline, due to his promise to be there at a certain time I set up appointments with my insurance adjuster to final out my insurance inspection, and this date will now have to be moved). I informed him that I would find someone else to finish the siding work and would pay the last $85 dollars after the bathroom paint was finished and the floor cleaned of all paint damage. He told me to keep the money and finish it myself. Contractor fails to follow through with job and refuses to accept responsibility for failures. On a side note he also propositioned me to conduct illegal reality work on my behalf while stating outright that he is not licensed to do so, so the integrity and duty of this company are highly in question. Use at your own risk.

one star is a gift, I wouldn't recommend this business to my worst enemy, in dec. 2016 he attempted to rerpair rot on my front door , it lasted less than one year, it took me over a year to get him back to fix the repair he messed it up so bad that he refused to come back to fix it , I had to finish it myself, he dosent keep appointment and wont return phone calls, his work is unsatisfactory and guarantees worthless.

My experience with Michael's Complete Home Maintenance was not great. I hired him to do the lawn, clean flower beds and put pine straw, tear down and haul away old shed, and pressure wash home and drive way. Gave him a check on a Monday. His estimate states the work would be completed within 7 days. Took a few days for anyone to show up. They came and mowed did not weed eat or do the flower beds, pressure washed the house but not the driveway. Tore down the shed but left all the debris in the driveway and did not haul it off. When I called he he told me several days in a row he would be there that day but did not show up. 9 days later I still have a huge pile of debris in my driveway and can't get a call back on if he's even going to haul the stuff away. He has scheduling problems. Says he can get the job done but only half of what you expect will really happen.

Michael came to my rescue on a Saturday when one of my toilets was flowing water into my basement. To say the least it was an emergency. I finally got the water shut off. Michael arrived a short time after I called and assessed the situation. He made quick work of vacuuming up the water, installed new parts, and cleaned up. Before he left he cleared the ocean of water in my basement. All this for an incredibly reasonable cost. Any other plumber would have charged me two or three times what Michael charged. He was also kind enough to work with me about payment as I live on a fixed income and wasn't prepared financially for this catastrophe. Prior to his leaving we talked about other projects I'd like to have done in the house as Michael can provide a multitude of services. He guarantees his work and made a loyal customer of me. I will not hesitate to use his services again and again. As I am new to this area it's a comfort to me knowing who to ask when I plan home improvement projects. Michael is professional, efficient, cost effective, and honest. It was a joy meeting him.
