  Precise Repair & Remodel

  Scott gave us a fair quote and a decent time frame for an entire bathroom remodel. Took an old outdated bathtub to a fresh new walk in tiled shower. He is very easy to work with and easy to talk to when you need help making decisions. He has many years of experience and you can tell. He also stands behind his work so if anything isn���t exactly how you wanted or something happens he will come back, even a month or two later. No questions asked.

  mermaid engineering

  Recently Paul transformed my old attic space into a beautiful master bedroom with an ensuite/private bathroom which has a custom window built in!  In addition he added much needed storage space and a show stopping light fixture at the entrance!  He is professional, knowledgeable and very creative!  His skill level for plumbing, electrical and construction exceeds all expectations!  I would highly recommend him for virtually any type of job for home or business.  It is evident that he is a professional and takes pride in his work.  You can definitely hire him with confidence!  It's great to find someone who is so reliable and competent!!

  A To Z Handyman Service

  I called him and left a message. He did not return my phone call. Too bad for him,  I had a few things the need to be done and if those were done well a lot more work would have been offered for him to do.

  Home Sweet Home Handy Man

  He's done a lot of work for me since I got my new house; he's the only handyman I've had help me with my projects, and I really like his work. He's very reasonably priced, and he works primarily by word of mouth.
  Scott can pretty much do anything around a house.

  All Around The House & More

  The quality of the work is mediocre. The window sill is raw wood that is not sanded and still has very rough, raw edges. They left a mess, with wall compound on the shower head, the shower curtain rod, and the tub. Andy, who did the work, was asking me what needed to be done because he did not know any details of the work that was quoted. The transition between the tub and the back wall has to be finished by me. I paid for wall repair, and I have to spend more money to finish it myself.
  The bathroom was examined during the quote, so the scope of the work was known up front. They took photos to help in the quote. They were hired to fix the damage so that all I had to do was prime and paint the walls. Above the tub was done fine, but the more difficult work along the back side of the tub was not done correctly. Even when Andy came out again to fix the original work, it is still not done correctly.
  The owner did not respond well to the complaints I brought up. Instead of being concerned with a customer that was not happy, he threw out reasons why he was busy and that it was difficult to fit in such a small job within his larger jobs he is working on. He did not offer to come out and see the quality of the work that was done. I do believe if he saw the quality of the work, he would not have been happy about it, but for whatever reason, he could not be proactive in resolving an issue with a job. Big or small, all jobs are a reflection of the company.

  ABC Construction & Restoration

  If you only read 1 review toady, this is the review you will want to read. Lets begin with my credentials. I am a veteran of he United States Marine Corps, a member of the National Honors Society and a graduate of Bradley University with Honors (Magna C U M Laude) With that being told, I originally had an appointment with ABC construction at 5:30 on June 21st. 6:00 came and gone and the appointment I had at 5:30, written on my calendar, was now crossed out and read and quot;no call/no showand quot; ...So,originally, I listed my experience with ABC as and quot;averageand quot; with a C on Angie's List. HOWEVER...the contractor that came out (John) saved me $12,800!! Yes, you read it correctly, $12,800. I will explain. See, my house incurred damages from the National Disaster we had in April (major flooding). Josh Banister, from Betterway Siding and Windows came out to give me an estimate. I told him his estimate will be for FEMA b/c of the damages. He said ok, then crunched some numbers, and then gave me an estimate of $12,800 for 12 windows. Then he said, and quot;sign right hereand quot; at the bottom. I hesitated and replied and quot;are you holding me responsible for thisand quot;? To which he replied and quot;No, this is just for FEMA, to make it look legit, to get it approved and to help you out.and quot; So, me (as the ignorant fool I was to this stuff) signed the and quot;estimateand quot;. Long story short,...FEMA said the damages were pre-existing (even though water was dripping from my windows). Pre-existing means FEMA is saying the damages were before the flood in April...and funding was denied. So, I called Josh Banister and w/ his and quot;estimateand quot; in my hand and I said, and quot;look Josh, FEMA is not approving this, I will have to chose a different contractor who is more affordable to fix my windowsand quot;, then I noticed it said and quot; WINDOW CONTRACTand quot;, so I asked, and quot;Is this a legal binding contractand quot;?? get ready for this....he said and quot;YES!and quot;and quot; oh snap! now it's on right?! I said and quot;Josh, I am a single parent, been raising my son on my own for 13 years now (I got full custody from the courts in AZ b/c his mom abandoned him Christmas of 2001) and I only make $18,000 a yearand quot;. He laughed at me and ridiculed me b/c of my income!! And made me feel as a indigent. He talked over me and didn't even care what I had to say!! I began to mention the BBB and the Attorney General and he hung up on me!! NEVER, I MEAN NEVER IN MY LIFE WAS I SO HUMILIATED AND RIDICULED AS THE WAY JOSH BANISTER WITH BETTERWAY WINDOWS TREATED ME!! So I called Betterway windows and siding Monday night (July 8th) and reached Mike Walraven. Although my experience with Mike was good, he was not correct! He told me it is insurance fraud if funds through FEMA are approved and then the customer chooses a different contractor. He told me that I have to re-submit a new estimate to FEMA for the contractor I chose. This is NOT TRUE MY FRIENDS. FEMA is not insurance! FEMA does not approve the contract and or estimate for the price on the paper! They go by market value according to the area you live in! For example, Josh Banister told me $12,800 and FEMA will say, and quot;ok, we approve you, but for the market value set price in your area which is $6,000and quot; my Point #1) they are ignorant (Betterway windows). point #2, they deceive. After Josh Banister hung up on me and after I talked to Mike, I said I am coming in at 4 tomorrow! Game on, right?! My friends, I tell you , you never want to show up the same time you mention, simply b/c they know when you are coming (they will be expecting you). SO...w/ that being said, and with a very lenient work place, I showed up at 3:00!!! :) I walked in, standing tall and spoke with Mike Walraven. He said I will be speaking with Dave Smith (owner of Betterway). I will say this, Dave Smith is for the consumer. However at this point I was so @#$! mad that I didn't care. Now this is where John with ABC Const. comes in. When John came out on June 21st he did his thing and sat in his van. As he sat in his van we began we began to talk. And out of nowhere he said and quot;don't sign anything for any contractor for any estimateand quot;. I was like OMG! I told him I signed a so called estimate from Betterway windows and siding, he said and quot;Did they show you a CONSUMER FRAUD PAMPHLETand quot;? I replied no, and he said and quot;then your are not held liableand quot;. So, as I sat in that office with Dave Smith (Tuesday of July 9th 2013) Betterway windows, I remembered what JOHN told me! I said and quot;what about the Consumers Fraud Pamphlet?? He said and quot;This oneand quot;? and pulled one out. I said and quot;YES! Josh never showed me thatand quot;, and Dave said and quot;and I have no record of you signing it, so you are not held responsible for this!and quot; and then, as i witnessed it and as it is written on my contract, Dave Smith wrote on all 3 copies and quot;I'm letting Home Owner Out of Contractand quot; signed Dave Smith . YES! YES! YES! Thank you John, thank you, thank you. John may of not been on time, but I'll tell ya what, he is HONEST, he is KNOWLEDGEABLE and above all I recommend ABC Construction!!. I apologize if comments are lengthy, but the truth had be told. John saved me from my ignorant ways. Without him I would of owed $12,800 and court fees! (the fine print on that contract even mentioned paying attorney fees and a lien on my house). Don't waste your time with anyone else, for me its ABC construction or no one at all! Thank you again John...God Bless!

  Vance Remodeling and Restoration

  This is my third job I've had Vance Remodeling and Restoration do for me. He is definitely my go to guy for any projects I want to do. Vance Remodeling and Restoration refinished my handicap ramp, pressure washed my house and driveway. The day they came was probably the hottest day in July but they were here. I think temperatures got up to 105 the days they were here. I felt so sorry for them but never heard them once complain about anything. I would go out and check on them and offer a bottle of water and I could stand it about five minutes. They did a wonderful job and just a real pleasure to work with. The ramp turned out great and looks brand new and they even added some spindles to add to it. I would definitely use Vance Remodeling and Restoration again and have. You can find out what I had done on my next review. Thanks Jim you're the best...Kathi

  Kellington Don & Son

  They have been friends of the family for years. They are cost-effective and they are cost conscious. They are reasonably priced. They are available 24/7. I've had them do other things in the middle of the night. They are an all around good company.

  MATTHEW NIXON

  My 2 toilets flush valves wouldn't flush every time . It would take 5 or 5 flushes before the valve would release enough water to properly flush the toilet. The company sent me 2 new replacement flush valves, completely different than the old ones, to be installed. I called Matt and he came out on time and changed both of them in about an hour and charged me $ 65.00. He apparently has a lot of experence with toilet repair because he knew what he was doing. He was prompt, polite and everything I had hoped he would be. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again. Ron Heffren

  Hal The Handyman

  Came over 2 sessions (installing handles took awhile). Made a template for the handle installation. I think the handles are centered, but spouse thinks that not all the handles are centered. Door repair took all of 2 minutes (although they can now shut, they are still hanging at a slight angle, but hey... hey can shut!! We went a year w/o the doors shutting!)
