Stephen Bradley did a superb job of replacing the 20-year old roof on my custom-made garden room. He responded quickly to my initial enquiry, and gave a very fair price. Thorough, hard-working, and very pleasant, he was very professional and I would not hesitate to employ him again or to recommend him. He is quite the find.

I found Steve through a quick Google search when I was in urgent need of help assembling a bunch of furniture. He was super accommodating and friendly right from the start. After seeing how much there was to do, he didn’t hesitate to come back a second day to make sure everything got done properly. There were a few hiccups (thanks, IKEA), but Steve’s experience made everything go smoothly. He’s easy to chat with, funny, and just an all-around great person to have around when you’re stressed and need a hand. Thanks again Steve!! Highly recommend!

Steve is so knowledgeable and personable. He installed new bathroom vanity and then I asked him to take on 8 other projects. He charges fairly - is entirely trustworthy - and a joy to collaborate with. Highest recommendation!

I highly recommend steohen.

I called 5 different handyman and he was the only who picked up. He was quick to respond, and provided great service! I needed help with an office chair fix, and he came to take a look within the same week. He was professional, and patient to explain the issue.

I called Steve another time to help assemble my IKEA bookshelf. Not only did he put everything together perfectly, but he also made sure it was sturdy and secure. If you need a reliable handyman, I highly recommend this local handyman!

As a property manager, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stephen for some time now, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. Stephen is not just a highly skilled handyman; he is also one of the most honest individuals I’ve had the fortune to collaborate with.

Throughout our partnership, Stephen has adeptly handled a wide array of maintenance issues for our properties, delivering solutions for everything from driveway improvements and fence repairs to electrical fixes and various maintenance tasks. His ability to efficiently address problems and his efforts to keep costs down without compromising on quality have been nothing short of remarkable.

What truly sets Stephen apart; however, is his character. Trusting someone isn’t just about their skills but also about their integrity, and Stephen excels in both. Handing tasks over to him brings me immense peace of mind, and my tenants share this sentiment, expressing great satisfaction with his work.

Working with Stephen has significantly eased my life, bringing a sense of ease and confidence to the management of my properties. He’s not just a handyman; he’s a reliable, trustworthy partner in property maintenance. For anyone in need of top-notch handyman services, Stephen is your go-to person. I am thoroughly impressed by his work and am grateful for his contribution to the upkeep of my properties!

A friend referred me to Stephen and I’m glad she did. It was easy to arrange a date and time. He installed a new outdoor light fixture and repaired a troublesome bi-fold closet door. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and efficient. The price was right and I would recommend his work.

Honest, cheery, and an easy accent. He came out on a Saturday morning, re- wired my whole kitchen to make way for a dishwasher, and then came back and plumbed the thing!

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications.

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
