Phil is very knowledgeable, respectful and has awesome customer service skills. He will work to perfection and will continue working till the job is to your satisfaction. I would HIGHLY recommend him to any friend or family member of mine.
Phil was awesome to work with and a genuinely nice person and even fit us into his busy schedule when we told him we were on a pretty tight timeline to move out of state. His rates are very fair and honestly he could have charged more and it would still be worth it since his quality of work is just that good. Phil did an amazing job installing a pedestal sink, door trim, patched a wall that had a huge hole in it from a bad electrical issue and installed a brand new kitchen countertop and sink with faucet. Everything looked so well finished even though we did not buy top of the line products for the renovation. He even came up with solutions to some quirky problems we had and his work was impeccable. He cleaned up after each day of work which was appreciated. We had so many people that complimented the renovations prior to and during our showings.
I will recommend Phil to anyone and everyone. He redid my mother's kitchen and bathroom floors and they look beautiful. She couldn't be happier with them. He got them done in no time. Phil is very proud of his work so you will definitely get 100% every time. Was great dealing with my 8 year old niece asking him a million questions and even went above and beyond fixing little unrelated things he saw in the house. He will also be making custom medicine cabinet doors for her. Below are before and after of the kitchen floor. If it were possible he'd get more than 5 stars.
