l just had some work done by these guys and they were top notch. They did all the painting and decorating in my flat, put in a wooden floor and sorted out the kitchen. All at a great price so l'd definately recommend them if anyone is thinking of getting anything done.
Thought l'd post something since they did such a good job for me. PM me if anyone wants more details, cheerio

I also want to add my 2 cents.
I got them in with hardly any notice to repaint my flat. They accomodated me and did great work for a good price.
They are all English speakers too, so that cuts out any language problems.

Would like to say that they did a great job in our place. Would happily recommend them for any jobs that need doing.

Hi there. Over the past appr. 2 months, Mike, Lee & Troy (and intially a fourth colleague who's name eludes me now) have been working on our house which we had just bought and needed to renovate almost completely. The lads did a wide variety of jobs for us including removal of old carpets, removal of a wall, painting and decorating, laying of laminate, laying of carpet, panelling walls etc. and had other jobs done by subs, such as tiling, electrics and plumbing stuff.
Everything was done to a very high standard and seeing the results, the ease of communication and interaction (just one interface for us!) and the positive attitude we are very happy with our decision to go with Huntcrest. We'd do it again, anytime! Highly recommended! Xpet.

Ok, I DEFINITELY need to add my comments to this as well. A problem came up with our kitchen installation that we bought from the previous tenants (2 years ago). It was a water leak in an awkward place due to the nature of the kitchen installation. I had a few reservations about doing it myself due to the location and unknown extent of the problem. Luckily, what could've turned into a big problem was quickly resolved by Mike & Lee in less than 10 minutes!
It wasn't just their ability to fix the problem that impressed me. It was the responsiveness and level of service they provided. Who said there isn't good service in Germany?

While here I asked them a few questions regarding other services they offer, pricing of services, etc. and was quite impressed with what they had to offer and the price it would cost.
I would HIGHLY recommend Huntcrest Services to anyone who asked. If you still aren't sure, call them up and get a quote.
Thanks again Mike & Lee!

Mike and Lee painted our flat at the end of January. They gave us the lowest quote and did an excellent job.

gotta put in a plug for lee & co. too. they are true to their word that no job is too small. i needed a lamp installed in my kitchen & there it is, a shining light so i can see every limestone stain & spot on the floor!

Meant to do this in September, just after Lee & Mike moved me to my new place. It was a small job & the boxes were already packed, I didn't need a large removal firm. They were very busy but heard the panic in my voice & fit me into their schedule. They showed up on time, got the job done fast & well. It was a pleasure working with them and I highly recommend their services.
Huntcrest Services sound like a real Toytown company! Perfect company, in the perfect town!

Reminds me of Lake Wobegon...

I highly recommend Mike and Lee. They painted my house when I moved out of my old place and installed my kitchen and all the lights in my new house. They have recently completed some jobs for one of my friends and she is also very happy with their work.

Hi there,
Huntcrest did our move this week and they were just great!
They arrived with a 7,5ton van and took all our belongings in one go. They arrived on time and all our things arrived to destination intact!
Not only that, once we were in our new flat, we found that a part for the washing machine connection was missing and they quickly sorted us out with a new part.
They're very friendly and professional & we highly recommend them!
Thanks to Mike, Lee & Troy.

I keep meaning to add my 2pence worth here but always forget.
Mike & Lee moved my kitchen from my old apartment to the new one, fitted a new worksurface, installed the washing machine, painted the old apartment, and various other odd jobs related to the move. All done on time and for a good price.
They also helped (at very notice) to sort out some other repairs that needed doing in my old apartment.

Professional, Hardworking, Efficient, Tidy & Excellent Work
I contacted Lee to help with some last minute removals and also requested on the day for assistance with fittings in the new apartment. Lee & Team arrived on time, did a speedy job with the removals, fitted everything to perfection and left the apartment sparkling clean afterwards.
Highly Recommended!

We needed the stairwell, bathroom and upstairs windies painted. Mike & Lee trundled round, looked the potential job over, gave us a price, set a date and then Lee arrived to do the job. Everything was done efficiently, quickly, quietly and he buggered off so quietly that we hardly knew he'd gone.
I unreservedly recommend Huntcrest for any painting job. Lee turned a pigsty into a castle! Thanks Lee.
I thought I should post that I used the
Huntcrest Handymen Services that are advertised here on Toytown this weekend and I was very impressed with the service and the price.
Mike came right over the same day I called to fix my leaky faucet, drove me down to the DIY shop to get a new part, and then even helped me carry a very heavy monitor outside. All for an extremely reasonable price. I'm a very happy customer! Highly recommended!

ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER
These guys were just AWESOME! I've lived here for 7 years now, and have had my share of handwerker headaches -- I wish I had found Mike & Crew earlier!!! They were incredibly responsive - always answering the phone immediately, super flexible - they had to come back to my place twice because I bought the wrong kind of stove and did so with a smile, and they did a thorough and excellent job, all for a very fair price. - and nice blokes to boot! I can't recommend enough.

And yet again, two very happy customers:
Mike and Lee did our move in August and over the past 3 months have been working on our new house. They renovated the place and did all sorts of jobs for us such as painting the walls (and there were many!), laying carpet, remove wallpapers etc.etc.
These guys are excellent and we can only highly recommend them.
Thanks again, Mike and Lee!

Thanks Lee
Yep, I can add to the growing and deserved list of tributes. Just had my flat painted yesterday. As i was being dicked around by the landlady, they were very accommodating when I kept having to rearrange. Also their estimates on what other work should cost that the landlady wanted me to do, proved spot on. This allowed us to know when the lady was blatently trying to rip us of. ( eg. parket floor repairs & her recommended plumbers and sparkies for work on our new place...etc !! )
Good paint job and they left the place clean and tidy !!

Bloody Awsome !!
Had a Hellish move just before Christmas. Didn't know if we were going to have to put stuff into storage or be able to actually make the move but Mike/Lee and the team couldnt have been more supportive and professional.
I can't recommend these guys highly enough and we look forward to working with them again in the very near future.
Lee and Mike came round at very short notice before Xmas to fully dismantle an 8ft pool table, shift it down some stairs and put it all together again!
As a result I was able to play loads of games with friends and family over the festive period instead of making them shuffle around 120 kg of wood parked in the dining room.
Great job lads and thanks very much for fitting me in.

Here comes another recommendation.
Had them over for a small accident repair job in me kitchen. Peeps came in had a look, said he would go to the baumarkt and give me a quote. Got a call in an hour, fixed an appointment for the repair work.
Came on time and finished without making noise too. Perfect!
Thanks guys.

One more very satisfied customer here.
Grotty old bathroom. Horribly coloured fittings and a very small shower which had been painted over with 'special' paint showing the signs of wear & tear.

Called Mike from Huntcrest and he started work a couple of days later.
Post-extraction.

Well on the way.

Brand new bathroom with super-dooper shower. Am well chuffed.

Thanks Huncrest for doing a great job and for a lot of fun to boot.
That said, I'm happy that I can now wake up with a heavy head and be safe in the knowledge that I'm not about to be greeted by a far-too-chirpy Mike as I stumble out of the bedroom.
A word of note. There's a chap that Huncrest use for certain plumbing tasks. He may claim to be South African, or Albanian, or Italian, or Turkish. None of this is in anyway important. All you need to be aware of is that he's mad as a bag of biscuits. Great lad and a professional but stark raving bonkers.
I'll be in touch to sort out the other bathroom

Mike is really great! he came over on Tuesday, gave me a quote, returned on Thursday and completed the job. It was great, I went to work and when i came home, everything was complete and in working order!! kitchen installed, working lights, washing machine working! I highly recommend Huntcrest Services!

And another recommendation...I had Huntcrest do a few odd jobs in my new flat...installing blinds, hang up pictures and mirrors, installing lamps...He was nice and cheerful and did a grand job. Will definitely use them again if the need arises!

I have also had an excellent experience with Mike and Lee at Huntcrest. They were recommended highly to me by a friend who had also moved apartments and used their service.
They showed up exactly on time for both the estimate and the painting job. Their price was extremely reasonable and their work was top-notch. They were very responsive to all my questions and emails. Additionally they cheerfully volunteered to let the oven repairman in and explain the problem to him as I had to run errands at the time the oven repairman was due. (My moving day was quite hectic, as is everyone's I guess.)
All in all, a completelĂ˝ pleasant experience.
Happy to recommend them.

Thank you Mike, Lee and everyone who helped out at our move.

HI
READ EVERYONES COMMENTS AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WERE ALL OVER THE MOON WITH THEIR SERVICES.
A QUICK QUESITON:
1. do these guys work on weekends and also what is the earliest time they started for people. I have to leave my place at 730 to go to work.
TIA!!!
Keydeck
Jan 21 2008, 8:36 am
Why don't you ask them directly?

A semi educated guess would tell me that the times and days that the guys work will depend on the job you need done and on what other work they have going on at the time.

Hi there!
Lee and his team did painting and cleaning in our flat before our move to the next place. The level of service and quality were exceptionally good and the results were excellent. Our landlord was absolutely surprised that the apartment looked as it was new and had absolutely no comments during hand over process. I definitely recommend Lee and his company to anyone who wants to have quality work in Munich.
Cheers Lee!
Best

Yet another recommendation.
Mike, Lee and Nick came and moved all my junk to storage and painted my apartment. Really nice to have one company that will do these varied jobs.
They estimated it would take two days to paint but they cracked on and did it in one and the landlord was very happy with the paint job.
Finally the price was very reasonable and the lads were very nice to deal with.

We originally hired Mike & Co. to do a move from Munich to Berlin. On only a few weeks notice, I must say, and they not only found time for us but also did a fantastic job.
Meanwhile, our landlord tried to fix us with a horrific bill for apartment painting. We sent Mike a note, and he came out and gave us a quote within 24 hours that was half the price of the landlord's quote. They did a better job than the landlord had done before we moved in AND put up with my living in the (mostly non-furnished) place while they were doing it.
In short, they're great. I'd highly recommend them.

I've been meaning to post to this thread for a long time. We've used Huntcrest for our move, to put together some furniture, hang light fixtures and a number of other random things. We've always been really pleased with their service and professionalism, and they're all really nice guys. I highly recommend them.
