Report
This is the second project Pittsburgh Area Handyman has completed for us. Dave resurfaced our split entry stairs and installed a carpet runner of our choosing. The project was completed timely and professionally and we are quite happy with the finished product! Dave is courteous, communicates well, has an eye for detail and is knowledgeable in his field. We would not only use his services in the future but would recommend to family and friends.

Report
Dave did amazing work on our basement remodel. There was not one time that I can recall where we were kept out of the loop with anything with this process. It took him a bit longer to accomplish the remodel because he was working by himself most of the time but, that did not come at any negative cost when it came to attention to detail and professionalism. His communication was impeccable, the craftsmanship of his work is great, and his attention to detail far exceeded our expectations. I will definitely be keeping in touch with him for future projects.
