  Steve's Repair and Handiwork

  Steve and his people have previously done work for me. The quality has always been excellent, as it was again this time. In addition, when he sees something else that needs repaired, he does so at no additional charge.

  Daryl's Home Maintenance

  Called on a Tuesday and he came out on a Friday.  Said he would be at least 3 weeks to do the work, no problem.  He also stated he just purchased a restaurant so he was very busy.  No problem.  He said he'd call Monday with a quote.  By Wednesday, I called him to see if he had the quote, he answered the phone as if he wasn't happy to hear from me, stated he hadn't even looked at it and would do so tonight and call me later this evening.  I asked if I would receive a call later that evening, to make sure I heard him correctly, and he said yes and hung up.  That was the last I heard from him.  His ad states if he can't do the job, or would prefer not to do the job, he would let you know and even suggest someone else.  Him avoiding calling was a complete waste of 2 weeks of my time and highly unprofessional.  I hope this does not reflect a representation of how he intends to serve his new customer base at his restaurant.

  Steve's Repair and Handiwork

  We had discussed this job when Steve was here on a previous job. We had to first get some tree trimming done, and then we called him to schedule. He informed us he was very busy and it would be several weeks before he could get to us. That was fine with us, and indeed he did call in several weeks and we scheduled. He came on time, with one other worker, they did the job quickly and efficiently, cleaned up the mess, and the cost was near the estimate. We will definitely call this provider for future repair work.

  AROUND THE HOUSE

  The guy from Around the House talks out the plan, and what he is doing, and what he plans to do. All of the service he gave looks fine and works fine. I would use him in the future for little things.

  Very well. I had contacted company when weather was very cold and snowy and he said he would come the first break in the weather. He then called me a few weeks later just to tell me he was still waiting for a decent weather day. On the first day above freezing when it was safe he came and did the work.

  AROUND THE HOUSE

  I hired Rick because of the good reviews on Angie's List and because it is hard to find a carpenter to do smaller jobs. I wanted a small closet wall torn out to open it up for my washer and dryer. This would involve demolition, drywalling, some electrical, plumbing, and flooring. The previous owner had run plumbing to the closet for a very small washer/dryer unit, so it needed to be re-routed. He gave me an estimate of over $900. In hindsight, I should have gotten some other estimates, but I wanted it done quickly.
  In the beginning, I had confidence that Rick could do the job, or I wouldn���t have hired him. However, the first day I started realizing that he had no idea what he was going to do. He kept changing his mind about where he was going to put the drain pipes, the electric; how he was going to cut out the wall, etc., and it became clear that he had no plan whatsoever and just seemed to be winging it.
  The drain pipe for the washer was very unprofessional looking, and the idea of the way he was running the drain was ridiculous. The final thing was when he said that what he would ���like to do��� is ���tie in the dryer vent��� to the ���furnace pipe��� so it would run up through the roof (the furnace pipe is no longer connected to the furnace but it is the exhaust pipe for the gas hot water tank). Although he then said that it ���probably��� would not be up to code. That is what confirmed my thoughts that he did not know what he was doing at all.
  I have hired professionals before, and never have I encountered a situation like this. In addition to the unacceptable work, he chose to tear down the old plaster walls, throw it on the floor, and walk all over it, grinding it into my old hardwood floors, even though I left floor coverings in the room. Most professional people come with their own floor coverings and cleanup tools, and they clean up at the end of the day. Reluctantly, I didn���t say anything at the time because I thought if he did a great job, I could overlook it. I could not sleep that night and decided that I did not want him back in my house. I called the next morning and asked that he not come back to finish the job, and I put all of his tools on my from porch for him to pick up, which he did.
  I then received a bill for $626.50 for that one day! Billed separately for electrical and plumbing work for 7 hours at an average rate of $72.14/hour plus parts and tax! I later contacted my brother who is a licensed plumber, and he was shocked at the charges and the poor workmanship as well. I sent a check for an amount I felt was more than fair - nothing close to $72/hour. My brother has since completed the job, having to undo everything that was done previously, and it turned out beautiful and better than I had even hoped.
  NOTE: Rick is NOT A LICENSED PLUMBER OR ELECTRICIAN and certainly does not warrant $72/hr, in my opinion.

  I have had him do several jobs over the years.
  1. I call and schedule an appointment.
  2. He shows up on time and gives me a free cost (not an estimate, the actual cost.).
  3. He promptly schedules a time to do the work.
  4. He does the work well.
