MJ Refurbishments

I cannot recommend Mike for installing doors and i will not hire him for any other work I have. My project was installing an exterior door as an entry for an apartment entrance in a hallway. What went right: The door is square, shuts, locks, and the peep hole was installed well. What went wrong: a) Since this exterior door was installed in a hallway, the brickmold trim needed to be cut flush with the metal threshold so the door would sit flush on the floor. Since he didn't, the door sits 1/4-inch off the floor. (Note: He said the problem was the floor was raised just under the door; It isn't!) Instead of fixing it, he used thin set underneath the threshold. He got thin set all over the threshold and basically meshed up the threshold. b) He insisted on payment within hours before I could fully inspect the job (my bad) c) He did not reinstall exterior trim the he had removed d) He installed the doors with screws and whatever he used to cover the screws shrunk, and now there are deep dimples in the casing where the screws are.

I was not happy because he did not show up on time (he forgot) BUT once he arrived he did excellent work. I asked him IF I hired him again if "he'd show up on time?". He was very pleasant and worked steadily until the job was complete.

Mike did a great job! Went above and beyond and truely seemed to care about the quality of his work.
