Atlanta Range Hood Installation

I contracted minijobs to install a range hood in my kitchen. They did a very professional install. I would highly recommend minijobs for any small projects you need done. If I have another such project I will not hesitate to contact them again.

I was replacing a recycled-air range hood with an external exhaust range hood. I contacted Bill and asked if this is something that he could do because I didn't feel comfortable cutting a hole in my roof and installing the duct work. He said that he had installed many of them. Bill is a nice guy and did go out of his way to pick up the duct work from a local store for me, but I think that he was in over his head with this type of installation. He did not get the right size vent-adapter which resulted in the exhaust air escaping into the cabinet over the stove. I have since purchased the right-sized adapter for the vent and installed it myself. Everything now works like a charm. I'm sure that Bill does a good job with framing and other such jobs, but I would not feel comfortable hiring him to do this type of job again.

slow, incomplete, and poor quality work; company insisted I should've purchased more tile--despite that the workman measured the area and the amount of tile and said it would work fine but then ran out of tile because he started in the wrong place; company adjusted overall bill, which I paid, but not happily--all of it was too little too late; don't recommend using company, which bills by the hour, because the workman tries his doggone best to stretch out the work by forgetting things and making repeated trips to the truck to get what he needs; scheduler and workmen don't appropriately communicate, and thank goodness what I had done was quite small (for which I overpaid), otherwise it could've been a total nightmare.

We need to install a range hood to replace our old over-the-range microwave oven. I initially contacted 4 handymen and Mr. David Wise was the one who promptly called back and discussed all details with me. After several rounds of back and forth emails discussing the schedule and installation procedures, Mr. Wise was able to very effectively show me the layout of installation and made a schedule at his earliest convenience. On the day of work, despite the fact Lee who was dispatched by Mr. Wise showed up late (we were agreed on 9am-10am but Lee showed up at 1:30pm), he did an excellent job on the installation, every piece of duct was connected with screws and then wrapped with metal tapes. Lee was also very into details, he inspected all the connections to make sure no air leakage. Eventually after more than 6 hours of work, Lee finished the job and he cleaned and vacuumed the entire working area (very professional). The only complaints I have are the price and punctuality. I was quoted for just over $600 and was also told that we could save 1 hr of labor by removing the old microwave oven ourselves (which we actually did trying to save some money). But it turned out to be over $800 on the final bill. At the end of the day, we settled the dispute and agreed on $680. My suggestions to people who are looking for handymen: If you are looking for quality work and not so tight on the budget, then Mini Jobs is your No1 choice. I think that Mini Jobs as a growing company, their overhead becomes very high; And those overhead and all the other costs associated with running the company will pass down to us, the customers. That is why you will see Lee, or "Matt", or some other guy at work, but never David Wise himself.

It went great. The handyman was very informative. We spoke of updating my fireplace in the future.

While we purchased most of the materials, Brent and his helper replaced one ceiling fan and installed a second one. He also replaced a range hood, and installed a lighting fixture with a new switch. All this was done in approximately a four or five hour period. His work was professional, quick, clean and complete.

Moran is extremely professional. The quote for the requested task was clear, and his price was fair. His attention to detail is evident in every part of the job completed, and the quality of his work is excellent. I highly recommend him for any renovation project and plan to hire him for other jobs in the future.

When he first came over to estimate the job, he took the time to diagnose an electrical problem with the unit. I was then able to send the defective component back to the factory for a warranty replacement. After I received the replacement part, he then returned to install the unit. I was impressed right from the start by the great care he took to protect surrounding items (stove, counter top, etc.) from any damage, or grime resulting from his work. That extra care showed a respect for us and our property that was a stark contrast from some other folks we had had in the recent past doing work on our kitchen. He was punctual, and was very thorough in the performance of his work.

I initially called D McKeon since they were listed as an authorized warrantee dealer for my AC units. They came out promptly and finished the job as expected. I've since hired them to do my semi-annual maintenance and they have been out several times doing great work. I even had them come out to help with installing duct work for a new kitchen range hood.

The crew was extremely professional and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. I am pleased with the renovation.
