I had Mike come do some jobs for me. He was very efficient, helpful and courteous! Would recommend him highly. Also Calvin has worked with me previously and he was great too. Would highly recommend this company.
We needed to open walls to accommodate plumbing work and close them afterwards . Beaty delivered an excellent finished product. Calvin is a true professional when it comes to wall repair.
Beaty Home Improvement is great! I will definitely use them more as I need anything done! Josh always kept me informed and updated!
My experience with Beaty Home improvements was wonderful. The work was top-notch triple AAA Quality. I would definitely recommend them.
Quick estimate, quick repair response, and at a price much less than a different Angi contractor. They did a very good job on the repair as well.

Updated 12.29.25: Apparently Josh Beaty stopped responding because he was arrested and in jail. NOTE TO ALL: definitely check casenet before hiring a contractor! We no longer want him to do the work for us but we do want the custom shower pan he ordered for us and was supposed to send to our house but sent to his house instead. Now he is refusing to give us the custom order even though we have already paid for it. We contacted Beaty Home Improvements in August 2025 to see about remodeling our master bath. After speaking to multiple contractors, we decided they were the right company for the job and made an initial payment in early October of nearly $7000 to start the process. On October 17, he said the job should be started in about 6-8 weeks but possibly 3-4 weeks. Joshua said on November 11 that we should be looking at 2 to 3 weeks from now. He confirmed that he had ordered the shower basin from the Onyx Collection and that it would be shipped directly to our residence. Getting updates from Joshua has been TERRIBLE. On December 5, I messaged his cell to see if his phone was working. He texted back at 10:37 pm with "Phone is working. What are you doing?" and 11:39 pm with "I am in reed receipt of your text messages." The next day I replied and requested an update on our project and he said "we can get started pretty much whenever you're ready." I asked on December 7 if he was showing up the next morning. On December 8 he said "I will let you know very soon." On December 11 I asked for another update. Crickets. On December 14 I asked for another update. No response. This morning we tried calling Josh's cell number and it says this number is no longer in service. We tried to call Beaty Home Improvement phone number which said someone is in the office today but that went straight to voicemail. We have tried sending messages through his personal email and every other avenue we can think of but still no response. I even went so far as to call the Onyx Collection to see if he ever ordered our shower basin in October. After much searching, they were able to find the order and confirmed that the shower base was delivered to West County Home Improvement at his personal home address (not our address as he has previously said) on December 10th. Of course he never mentioned this to us. We found out on our own. We have no idea what to do now or if he's even planning to start/complete our project. Our garage is filled with cabinets and building materials to start the project but our contractor has disappeared.
I had Mike come do some jobs for me. He was very efficient, helpful and courteous! Would recommend him highly. Also Calvin has worked with me previously and he was great too. Would highly recommend this company.
Zorha: really great to hear. I’m hoping they fulfilled all your handyman needs. And any other small carpentry items that you might need. Please call us if you need any bathroom remodeling or bathroom remodeling.
