Kevin is an amazing, creative and professional contractor. His communication and follow through skills are amazing. He designed and installed cabinets in my garage, installed Paella windows in my townhome, researched and installed skylights and renovated my pantry and laundry room, painted my entire home, etc. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs to renovate their home..either small or large projects!

Kevin and his crew were professional to work with and completed the project in a reasonable amount of time. Kevin’s team did a great job helping us redesign two bathrooms in our place. Kevin’s team made and installed custom cabinets that are amazing in both bathroom. Kevin’s team also installed new windows in our place over the years. We have worked with Kevin for years now and will continue to hire him in the future.

Working with Kevin was an absolute pleasure. He has managed and completed multiple projects at our house, including all kinds of GC projects: flooring, drywall, exterior patio, electrical, and general interior property issues. Kevin is reliable, professional, and always available to answer any questions / address any concerns I've had. He goes out of his way to accommodate a client's schedule, thereby eliminating any timing issues / concerns. Do not hesitate to hire / work with him for any contracting needs.

I can recommend Machines for Living for almost anything that you need done at your home. Our first project was installation of all new windows (Pella) in our home approximately 14 years ago. Since that time, Machines has done many projects at our home- cabinets, painting, hardwood flooring, plumbing work, and garage renovation(shelving, floor coating), MFL has also done extensive, and large scale projects for our HOA. You will find the head of MFL, Kevin Baird, to be knowledgeable, honest, and always willing to "take your call." MFL is "5 Star" all the way. I can unequivocally recommend MFL for any project that you might have.

We worked with Kevin and his team to replace all the windows in our home. Kevin and his team did a great job. We had a cracked window from the manufacturer and Kevin had a replacement window installed within weeks of us discovering this window. This project was on time and in the budget we were told. Highly recommend Kevin and his team.

We’ve worked with Kevin and MFL on multiple projects at our house over numerous years. This kitchen was part of a much larger renovation project, which also included four bathrooms, new stairwells and a renovated guest suite. We worked very closely with his team over a number of months to comb through all the details in advance, which enabled them to move very quickly once all the materials were on hand and ready to go. They kept us updated throughout, consulted with us on critical decisions to make sure we were aligned, and then executed efficiently. Very glad to have him as a partner on all of our projects.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
