Comments: Master builders, save my deck project after another contractor disappeared. Larry came out the day. I called them, drove out to Loweâ s with me to buy the material I needed, and then went and visited the inspector to let him know that he was taking over the project. The work they did was fantastic And I would definitely recommend them to other people

Comments: Larry was a wonderful person to work with. He did an absolutely great job in helping us get our house ready to put on the market. He is very knowledgeable and a pretty good teacher too, as he taught me to do a lot of the things he was doing. He knew exactly what needed to be done and did it to our complete satisfaction. After he left, I installed bifold doors in a room that he could not do as we needed to get carpet first. I texted him a picture when I completed it and thanked him for teaching me. He responded with â Iâ m proud of you!â I have already given his name and number to 2 people, one of which was our realtor whom is always in need of names of trustworthy, reliable, and hardworking handymen. I would recommend him to anyone, without hesitation, and will definitely call him again if needed. I would give him 6 stars on a five star scale.

Comments: I called Master Builders after hours late one Tuesday evening and promptly received a phone call back the next morning. Larry came out to my house that same morning and met with my husband. He gave me a very reasonable quote compared to what other companies previously had almost to where I was skeptical my husband had left out a few details. I called Larry just to confirm details and he offered to come back by a little later in the afternoon once I had gotten home from work just to go over everything with me. He reassured me of all the details and told me it would be no problem. Larry returned Friday morning and we could not be happier with the job he did. The doors look better than I ever could have imagined. Larry really is a jack of all trades and we are very lucky we chose to use him. He will forever be our go to handyman and just a great guy all the way around. THANK YOU MASTER BUILDERS!!!

Comments: These contractors are the best! Period. I had several jobs i needed done in my bathroom. I called them on a Sunday, we scheduled an appointment for the next day on Monday between 9:00am and 10:00am. They came at 9:30am due to it raining outside and even called to let me know. Larry and Ed we pleasant and personable. The work they completed is right and exact! If I ever need anything done that I cannot handle, they're my go to guys hands down.

Comments: Larry and team (Jim and Jimmy), did an exceptional job. When the job I contracted for turned out to much more extensive, Larry was extremely supportive and jumped right in to make sure I was taken care of. They did a wonderful job. I couldn’t be happier. They were extremely hard working guys and made sure the job was of the highest quality. On a personal note, the guys were some of the best real people I have ever come in contact with. Personable, polite and hard working. Couldn’t ask for much better. If I ever need work done around my house in the future, there is only one team I will call. Master Builders.

Comments: I recently purchased a home and needed a myriad of handyman type projects completed. The projects ranged from the more complex (e.g., replacing front door of the home) to the simple (removing a bird's nest from a vent located on the exterior of the home). No matter the type of project, I found Larry and his team to be professional, amicable and extremely thorough. They arrived on time ready to work and identified as well as completed additional projects that improved the overall stability of my home. A special thank you to Jim who showed such kindness to my two little curious dogs as you painted and completed the installation of the front door. The cost for the services provided was reasonable and there were no surprises. Just excellent work! I will definitely consider working with Larry and his team for future handyman projects and have already shared Larry's card with family and friends.

Review Date: 10/11/2014 |
Comments: Larry was prompt arriving and he inquired if I was pleased with the job; considering that he completed a plumbing project, I have to wait at least a couple of weeks to ensure the issue has been permanently resolved; he also installed a top to my extremely gigantic dog run, which others could not or would not attempt to do. Larry gave me a creative idea what type of top to use for this project! Now, hopefully it holds up after the next torrential rain storm and throughout the winter as well.

Review Date: 06/13/2014 |
Comments: We had a screened in sun room that desperately needed to be re framed before more windows broke. The team of two arrived on time, worked very hard and finished the re framing project on time. Larry was easy to contact and pleasant to work with. It was obvious that he had multiple jobs during the same week but made accommodations for me so we could get the project completed in a timely manner. Would recommend him to my friends and family.

Comments: Larry is as honest and reliable as anyone could hope for, we had Our countertops replaced by Home Depot and Larry removed the old counters and sink. He then installed the new sink. When Home Depot screwed up he was there for us. Would hire him anytime!
Review Date: 05/22/2014 |
Comments: A home inspector by trade, Larry and a colleague installed 10 doors, a new bathroom window, fixed siding, calked a tub, installed new baseboards, and built and hung valences. It was all hard, but "must be perfect" work. I couldn't be happier. I will definitely call him again.
Review Date: 05/18/2014 |
Comments: My project was pretty involved but it was done under the price estimate. Also due to my work schedule and some unforeseen circumstances, the project took a little longer than originally quoted. Larry was very good at working around my schedule and always kept me informed of everything that was done before it was started and gave me options as well as suggestioning his own ideas for me to decide on ahead of time. I was very pleased with his companies work and will definately hire them for any future projects around my house.

Comments: We we SO please of "find" Larry. He not only came to assist us with a water leak the same day, but was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home. We will definately call him when we need help in the future.
Review Date: 11/08/2013 |
Comments: When we contacted Larry, we were still waiting to hear from someone we had contacted a few days earlier. We're still waiting to hear from the other guy. Larry was at our place within 10 minutes of making contact with him. The work was done two days later, at a great price too. Not only that, there's the personal factor: He just seems like a great guy.

Review Date: 09/27/2012 |
Comments: Bathtub faucet was leaking and I needed a handyman. Called Master Builders and Larry was able to come out right away and look at it. We set up a time to have it fixed and he fixed it for me. It took a couple of tries and trips to Home Depot due to defective parts, but Larry made sure it was fixed properly and charged me fairly for his time.
