I am reluctantly writing this review, since George is a nice guy and I really wanted to have a good experience. I hired him to do some fairly simple painting, tile install and unclog a drain. Unfortunately he didn't do any one of those things correctly. For the painting, he was supposed to cover up some brown water damage from a leak. We discussed priming with a stain blocking primer. He said yes, he knew what to do. Within a day of his paint job, the stains returned. He had to go back and repaint the entire thing, which he attempted to charge me for. The second part of the job, he was supposed to install bathroom tile. He showed me some options and I told him which tile I wanted. He said ok, but he installed the wrong tile. The third part of this job was the worst. I wanted him to unclog a bathtub in the upper unit of an apartment. He said he's an expert in plumbing, so it was no problem. Unfortunately while doing this simple job, he damaged the pipes to the point that he needed to go into the apartment below and cut the ceiling out. Due to this mistake, the simple job was now 7 times the price a capable plumber would have charged. I expressed concern about this, to which he replied that it would look just like it did before. After the repair, they just left, and did not contact me. The ceiling was left with uneven glops of patch everywhere, drawings all over it, and was an utter mess. I had to contact him, and a week later he reluctantly sent someone over to repatch it. They did, and it looked fine, but they did not paint it. When I said we needed to paint it, he attempted to put me in touch with a painter who could take care of it. And he has stopped answering my calls or texts. I gave him every chance to make it right. All it all, the jobs cost twice what any other handyman would have cost, the ceilings of one of my apartments is in worse shape than before he got to it, and I don't have the tiles I chose.

We hired George to make some adjustments to our laundry room. Move a gas line and the vent hole and then to fill the existing hole and re-stucco and paint. He did all of this at a great price and his work was exemplary. I strongly recommend his services if you're looking for a handyman or contractor.

We contacted George through Yelp and from the very beginning he was really responsive and gave us a reasonable quote. He helped us with changing our garbage disposal and fixing leaks in the sink area. He was very professional, timely, and neat. Definitely recommend his services.

We had initially hired George to install some trim in our living room, but when our sink stopped draining one night, he came by the next day and got it all fixed for us. We will definitely be hiring George for more projects down the road!

George is awesome! My husband and I bought a new home last year and having a handyman we like (and is a great price) alleviates so much of my anxiety concerning homeownership. We hired George to install some trim in our living room, but ended up also having a clogged kitchen drain. He was able to take care of both quickly. He's super easy to get ahold of and texts back quickly. He had all the tools he needed for both the Trim install and the clogged drain. He was nice, professional, fast, and a great price. I can not say enough good things about him. Seriously, go hire him now!

George is the best. So far he's remodeled my shower and bathroom exactly as I wanted it done. It looks amazing. He also did a great job installing an new heater in my guest house at a very reasonable price. We also had him replace a broken window and he plans on installing new lights in the kitchen soon. His work is excellent, great prices. Super honest and just a super nice guy. You can't go wrong with George to help you out with your home repairs and improvements

We found George via Yelp for the installation of our newly purchased laundry room cabinets. George provided a reasonable quote for the installation after we provided some details/photos regarding the project. He was quick, efficient, and very professional. He arrived on time, came prepared had all the tools needed to complete the installation. The job took a little over and hour and he made sure to protect our washer and dryer with a sheet and cardboard so it wouldn't be damaged during the installation process. Definitely recommend New Beginnings Home Improvement.

George is super kind and professional.
Look no further, and hire him for any handyman work!

I needed a window pane replaced, as well as a doggie door installed for my back door. George was the most communicative and the best price out of everyone that I contacted.

When he saw a picture of the dog door that i had purchased next to the door it would be installed in, he had the attention to detail to notice that on the box of the dog door it said it would fit doors 1.5 inches thick, yet on my backdoor there was a panel where the dog door would be installed that wasn't thick enough for this dog door, and brought it to my attention.

When i had the right dog door, he showed up right on time, played with my pup, and gave me the option to go out and purchase the window pane replacement so he could work on the dog door quicker. By the time I got back to the house with the window replacement, he had already taken the door off the hinges, sawed the hole, put the door back on, and was wrapping up the dog door! It was amazing how quick he got the whole project done. I will be calling George for any projects i need in the future.

Have been working with George for over this past year. He's the one we chose when we bought a house and wanted to do some remodeling. His expertise is in plumbing but he can really do anything (painting, flooring, tiling, building shelves, installing light fixtures, installing fire/co alarms, remodels of any room in the house, helping to fix the outer parts of the house, installing water fixtures/fixing bathrooms, and the list goes on and on).

The only thing he hasn't been able to help us with and offered great referrals or advised other folks for are:
-installing garage door
-working with glass (ex. Shower door)
-electrical
-roof

The estimate:
-give him a item by item of what you're looking for
-he responds back with his estimate (very reasonable prices!)
-open to conversation about what should be done, his recommendations of advice (of course he goes with what you say but he does give great advice based on his expertise)

The work:
-he shows up on time and very communicative every step of the process and work (making sure it's ok with you before)
-very hard work and committed to your project no matter how many he may have (he'll stay longer, work on weekends, whatever it takes to help get the work done). I've found him working on days he says he was going to try to take a break
-the only bump in the road here is the timeline it took him to finish some of our work (the initial big project was longer than we expected) but again he was communicative about why and some of it was also on our end in the type of work we chose but also in the amount of effort it took to finish the remodeling of the bathroom

The payment:
-can pay in installations, just talk with him about it before you all begin the project
-he also offers to buy materials so you don't have to go and you can reimburse him for it later or you can go buy or get the materials delivered yourself (really up to you)

We continue to use him time and time again for our unit and our tenant's unit, and it's always a pleasure to work with him. He's someone who is not just responsible, responsive and does good work, but is someone who doesn't seem like they're just out to make a profit or money and recommends things that save both money and time.
