Drywall Cracks

Drywall cracks can either be a huge problem or hardly a problem, but can you tell the difference? Sooner or later, we all see them – the cracks lurking in the corners or just above the door jam. Whether that crack is a symptom of nothing at all or a symptom of a weak foundation, you need to diagnose the problem in case it gets worse. This article will help you determine when a crack is just a crack or when it may be a sign of something much more ominous. WHEN A DRYWALL CRACK IS JUST A CRAC...

      Phil refinished our cedar deck. He works incredibly hard, is thorough and honest. He lets you know when he’s going to arrive and arrives on time prepared to work. He pays attention to details and offers good suggestions. In the end, through a combination of rushing to beat the rain and my  own lack of clear instruction about the particular stain I wanted him to use, the deck didn’t turn out as well as either of us hoped. He offered to not charge me which seemed just too unfair to him given how hard he worked and the fact that the deck,, while not perfect, Looks much better.   I suggested instead and he agreed  to a discount for refinishing the deck next year when I use him again. Phil is a genuinely honest, hard working guy who I look forward to working with  in the future. Update to the original review. We are six weeks into enjoying our deck and I have to say, it feels like a new deck. Phil sanded every inch of it and knocked in every single nail and you can really tell the difference.  The surface is smooth and the boards are tight. Before hiring Phil, we were considering replacing the deck With composite. Now after the work Phil did, we will be able to enjoy our cedar deck for many more years..

    Phil did an awesome job completing my various projects (painting, hanging artwork, fixing lighting and bathroom fixtures, etc.) . He’s very knowledgeable and finished everything on time. He was great to work with and will definitely use him again on future projects! I highly recommend him.

    Phil did 2 custom baby gates for us and I would 100% recommend him!! He spend multiple days perfecting a solution for our modern and challenging stairs. We can’t recommend him enough! He was professional and timely.

    My  big, heavy storm patio door was not shutting and latching, causing a big draft.  Phil came and spent several hours adjusting the door, which was out of alignment due to the building settling over 15 years.  Has a great seal now, and I'm very happy with it.  Phil explained where in the door's latches he had to create the adjustments both up and down, and back and forth, and tested it several times before he was satisfied.  A door company was going to send two people out to do it and charge me almost twice as much.  Phil also quickly fixed a broken toilet handle while he was here!  Great service, great value, friendly.  I did have to wait for 2 months for the appointment - popular guy!

    Phil is fantastic!  He really enjoys doing a good job for his client.  He is friendly, professional, insanely tidy, and able to problem solve with you.  I have handed him some strange things at both my home and my office (both homes over 100 years old), and he has managed to solve every problem he tackles.  !00% recommend.

    Phil was a pleasure to work with. He did a variety of projects around our home, and everything was completed with great care and an extraordinary level of detail. Phil's communication and thoroughness allowed for a seamless process. Our life was undisturbed while he worked - even though my husband and I were both working from home. He was always timely and tidy and came with a well-thought-out plan. I couldn't recommend Phil enough!

    Phil’s the best. He takes pride in his work and is thoughtful and professional in his choices of how best to serve the requirements of the job. He did several things for me, from repairing broken antiques to measuring, cutting, mounting, and grouting tiles, and other things in between. Everything was meticulously and beautifully done and showed his true investment in doing the best work possible. He is also very nice and trustworthy, prompt and communicative. If he can do it, then Phil is the person I’d hire for any job.

    Phil is professional, friendly, and gets the job done! He installed new locks, smoke detectors, replaced hardware on drawers and cabinets and kindly and quickly accomplished a multitude of odd jobs around the house with great expertise. I will definitely hire him again!

    I highly recommend Phil and his handyman service. Phil helped us install a sprinkler drip system and was so thorough, communicative, friendly, and punctual. He also made sure I was familiar with the settings on the timers and was patient with all my questions. He is professional and does top-quality work, leaving your home clean and the job perfectly completed on time.

    Phil clearly communicated his availability, his timing the day of, the options he would suggest for our railing repair and his estimate, and stayed on track on all fronts. He understood my concerns and worked to find solutions. The repair looks really good and we will use him again on future projects.

    Phil did a great job helping me hang some heavy items. He was friendly and professional. I will definitely have him help me with more projects around the house!

    So glad I found Phil - not only was her professional, but he did a damn good job removing my cabinets, tiling my backsplash, and getting my floating shelves up on the walls. He's a good problem solver as well - which is what you want in a handyman since they are going to run into some unknown issues from time-to-time. Highly recommend!

    Phil’s work is fantastic. He’s thorough and neat and really listens, and he’ll come up with a tailored solution for you. In addition to some new projects in my home, he’s fixed the shoddy work of another handyman. I’ve hired Phil for multiple jobs over a few years and his work is consistently excellent! Do not hesitate to hire Phil.

    I highly recommend Phil! We needed a door installed on our condo and we had the slab only but needed the boring for lockset and carving for the hinges. Phil did it all and even shaved down the door to properly fit. Great worker, very personable, and great pricing. Will hire again. Thank you!!

    He fixed windows and repaired places in the exterior of the window frame. He fixed a window that had to be reattached to the house and made it much stronger. He also helped add weather stripping to two doors--each of which was a challenge in its own way, but he did it really well,

    Phil genuinely loves what he does and his quality of work really shines through because of it! He provides a service unlike any other handyman we’ve experienced. We love the text messages of when he’s en route and love that everything can be paid online. If I could give him more stars I absolutely would!

    Phill was great! He spent the day assembling a bed, mounting tv’s, mounting some wall shelves,  mounted a Sonos sound bar , and curtain tracks. When I originally called I figured it would be 24-48 hours before he returned my call but to my surprise he called me within just a few hours. He was on time and great at communicating. He did a great job!

    Phil was great! He was responsive, reasonably priced, had excellent customer service, plus he was on time. He was able to assist us with a variety of random fix-it projects, including installing a new door and toilet. The workmanship was excellent. His service was easy to use, and his text message service always let me know when he was coming or going. Thanks Phil for being someone I could trust to be in my home!

    Phil was a pro and so nice to my family.  We moved homes and before the move he made sure our kitchen was in excellent condition and big items on the walls were removed properly.  He also did other jobs requested to get our home in first-class condition for our renters.  Thank you, Phil!
     Ryan Madayag 
 
 
 
 
    Phil did excellent work re-staining our deck. It was peeling and in very rough shape before he showed up. After 4 days of his diligent scraping, sanding, filling and staining, it looks brand new! We are so happy with his work and will call on him for other jobs soon, too. He is on time, friendly and does great work at a reasonable cost.

    We are so happy to have found Phil! I was a house painter for 30 years, 18 of which I ran my own business. Now retired, I fancied myself quite the handy man! What that means is “I never got any projects actually done.” Phil has saved me and completed somethings that had been lingering for a few years. We will happily contract Phil in the future and highly recommend him.

    We have hired Phil for numerous jobs at our home—ranging from deck rebuilding to an outdoor shower stall upgrade. He has managed to problem-solve issues that have stumped other people we hired, and he always explains the solution in an approachable manner. His skill level, work ethic, and attention to detail are top-rate!
