Tom The Toolman Tyler, LLC

4/27/24 Sadly as in my previous review, the experience does not end. The shower is leaking terribly into the garage below & is in bad shape. This mess started before Tom the Toolman Tyler had even finished the job. The problem was not fixed & has gotten much worse. Contractor states that I have not contacted him to fix again. Well, if you canâ  t do it right the first time, nor the second time, why would I want him back for a third time. Obviously contractor is completely incompetent. The seat is 13â  which is too low. It should be 17-19 inches high. The tiles & grout are splitting, pieces of grout are coming loose. Floor and sides are absorbing water and will continue causing water damage. Had another reputable contractor inspect. The whole shower has to be demolished and sized correctly for the bathroom. Cost estimate is 15,000-20,000. to completely demolish and replace. Talked with Steve Lattarulo, (8/3/23) the townâ  s Chief Building Inspector. They must be aware of this contractor. If you go to the Hartford BBB you can read another very bad review where the town had to actually stop the project. I share all of this information in order to increase awareness of this bad business and to let others know of what can happen. Hopefully he will go out of business.

I tried getting quotes from a few others to powerwash my house and the attached conservatory. Some never returned the call. Tom The Toolman got the job. His men did an excellent job. I recommend them.

I Contracted with Tom for our only bathroom. I made several mistakes including not getting a detailed quote. After a 37% down payment, they started the bathroom job on 5/23/22 it took 5 months to complete! Proper town permits were only obtained after I had to push to get them. The shower drain leaked terribly into the garage, had to be taken out replaced. Electrical work was improper had to be replaced. Wrong floor tile installed had to be taken out. Terrible inconvenience for several months. Now realize that the cost was too high. Tom has now decided that the job is done and things went nicely. I have a damaged sink he plans to place a mechanics lien on the house due to a remaining balance of $1,900 after paying him over $27,000 for a 6 ft x 9 ft bathroom. Stay away from Tom the Toolman Tyler. He does not know the business, is arrogant and is not customer orientated. Would not recommend him to anyone. Professional work expected for money spent. Not the case here. He also stated that the glass shower doors took time to get. Actually the doors by installed by another company. Door was the only project item that was on time correctly installed . Update: Mechanics lien is in favor of contractor. Tom stated that he would put a mechanics lien on our house for the remaining 19425. Paid Tom the Tyler Toolman except for unsigned change order. He responded that he would place the remaining $425 into collections. Paid the $425 just to be done with him. Stay away from doing business with him. He did not care that our only bathroom took 5 months. No apology. Not a customer orientated business nor run professionally.

Awesome walk in shower!! Tom, Matt, Jeremy, Brian and George did some great work tearing out my old steel tub and installing a new walk in shower. Looks like a a Las Vegas Spa!! Great price, service, quality and staff.

I am very pleased with the work that Tony and his crew did to replace the screens on my second floor porch. It was not an easy job because they had to create scaffolding to reach the third floor vaulted ceiling on the porch. Tony insisted that I was satisfied with the work they did before they left. I am extremely satisfied and Iâ d recommend then for any home repairs or improvement projects.

I hired Tom to assemble a shed kit and also build a foundation for this kit. The shed requires a specifically sized base. Tom made a major mistake by building the base too big and will not own up to it. His defense is to blame me for not giving him the specifications which is a lie. So disappointed to be put in this position. This is not how a professional would handle a project or treat the customer. I provided the exact dimensions of the shed and forwarded a link to the shed information and manual. He says he did not receive it. So why start the job? Why not ask me? As a matter of fact, the handyman did ask me when he arrived. I told him the exact size and that I already provided the manual. Why start the job without obtaining that manual. A manual was also included with the kit. The first page states - Important-read this first- and goes on to say the shed has to be built on a base to the exact specifications. The base should have been rebuilt before constructing the shed. I was not informed that the base was not built according to the specs. What resulted was an improperly constructed shed sitting on top of an oversized base. What contractor starts a job without knowing the exact dimensions? And then blames the customer? Can you imagine? Tom should have discussed the dimensions with me before starting the job. I have hired an attorney. Filed a complaint with the Consumer Protection agency and Better Business Bureau. The next stop is Small Claims Court. Tom has only offered to reimburse me to patch up the job. The shed needs to be rebuilt and the base resized. I will need new doors and trim since they cut them. The siding and doors and roof do not fit properly together since they are sitting on top of the base and not overlapping the edge as they were designed to do. There are large gaps in the upper corners with random pieces of wood poorly fitted together. Besides looking terrible we have a serious water problem. Instead of making this right and rebuilding the shed, Tom wants to caulk around the bottom of the shed. I am owed the shed I paid for. It looks nothing like the pictures. Tom's comment to me was, it is a shed. This shed has cost me almost $7,000. I spoke with the manufacturer and they stated that the shed base was not built to the correct specifications. The doors and trim should not be cut. I was not informed they were doing this. They took it upon themselves to cause this damage. In addition, the overall quality of the job was extremely poor. One of the supporting foundation posts was cut straight through with a shim wedged it. The trim has random cuts in many places and is placed very sloppily. The roof does not sit evenly along the edges since the siding does not match up with the frame. When the handyman did not return I called the office and was told the job was finished and they were not coming back. Tom now claims that the post was temporary after first telling me it was acceptable. He is saying that they were coming back to fix this and I did not allow it. Not true. I thought they were coming back but was left high and dry after they closed the project. He has the timing of the events wrong. I then hired an attorney who told me not to let them return. I thought Tom was going to take ownership of this debacle but he is clearly protecting his pockets. Now I am left with a dysfunctional eyesore. Tom replied to the attorney and Consumer Protection Agency blaming me saying that I gave him an approximate size and did not provide the specifications. Can you imagine? That is a blatant lie. I have proof I provided the specs and the size was never approximate. Tom stated that some sheds need a specifically sized base while others can sit on a wider base. So how can he move forward with a project not knowing the specific dimensions? It is embarrassing for him to use that as an excuse. Check out complaints at CPA and BBB with pics.

I contacted Tom the Toolman Tyler LLC// Kitchen and bathroom Remodeling Wethersfield and West Hartford CT company after reading and researching about their website reviews, reviews on other websites, and their pictures posted on their website. But I was totally wrong. I **believe** they have a marketing team that does all these fake reviews. The contractor came into my house and gave me a free estimate. Then, after the discussion with their administrative Assistant, I decided to hire them for the Guest bathroom remodeling work and painting in the living room area for our newly bought home. I had written a contract for all the work that needed to be done and the request for a work permit from the town as well. The contractor was a handyman and he did the entire work at my house. The bathroom remodeling was not finished as per the contract and bulges are everywhere on the drywall, its texture is not aligned to the existing wall, unfinished bumps out of proportion in the garage, unfinished sheetrock work with holes It is a very poor quality job. Also, he did update the lighting fixture and added a plug and thermostat in my living room, it was unprofessionally placed. The contractor painted my wall without patching any holes in the living area. Also, he placed the bathroom sink improperly (without taking proper measurements) and added an extra layer step of hardwood wood floor panel underneath which I am totally uncomfortable with. He did not use any metal drywall beads on the corner edges and it is not straight and looks ugly. Also, they agreed and signed to contract to take the work permit from the town, but they did not. They charged me an extra amount to take the permit as well. Then, I contacted the town and they confirmed they did not receive any recent requests for the town permit for starting the work (Including electrical and plumbing work) at my place. Also, I believe the person who did this job does not have a valid plumbing and electrical license. I do have all the pictures on my mobile with the timestamps (before and after work). After the contractor finished his work, I contacted the company owner and sent all the pictures to the owner (Tom Tyler) via email and he agreed to send another contractor, who is a Sheetrock professional. He understood the problem and he said **I cannot do any repairs which would come out well**, instead he could only replace the entire thing. Then Tom asked me to pay an additional amount to this guy on top of the initially quoted amount for replacing their unfinished poor quality job. I disagreed with him and I said I cannot pay any extra amount on the top of estimated. Then he sent another person to do the repair work (the Sales Manager in his team) but his work did not make any improvements or any progress. He worked 4 days in my house every day a couple of hours and he also left the job as unfinished. Their office is just a few miles away from my house and I requested multiple times for Tom to come and take a look at the work done by his workers. But he never showed up, and instead, he and his team members argued with me via email/phone that I am sending before pictures instead of finished work. Totally unprofessional behavior. I have all the pictures with the date and timestamp to show him. Finally, his tone and way of talking changed and they threatened me to pay the remaining (huge) balance amount. Now, I am going to file the complaints against them. They worked 25 days and it is a shoddy, poor, and ugly job. I have documented all their written emails with pictures. It was a very bad experience with Tom and his team. Beware, they are running this business with inexperienced people. Thoroughly unprofessional and perhaps, even fraudulent. (I believe).

I appreciate the work and how quickly they assisted me before a rain storm the next day.

I hired them to animal proof the underside of my house, also had him repair my clothes line, repair plywood under the family room, My issue is he told us the animal proofing was complete and then told us there is one more opening under the deck steps that remains open and he has not completed yet, maybe due to weather so still waiting on that completion. Then I will update my Rating and Review once that job is completed. *******************Update 01/20/2020 ***********The contractor came back and completed job and his work was very satisfactory!!
