New York Tristate Area Peephole Installation

Everything went well. The workers are great at what they do. I had 3 problems that val personally came out to address. 1. I wanted satin nickel hardware and the door company sent gold. 2. The peephole was installed 5 inches too high, it was useless, I live in a step down basement. 3. The door sill was just floating and bowed in when anyone stepped on it. No support under it. Val came back himself and installed the satin nickel hinges and fixed the peephole problem. He installed a satin nickel door knocker in place of the wrongly placed peephole and drilled a hole and installed a new peephole that I can actually reach and see through. The guys came out a week later and fixed the door sill situation. Now everyone can step on it and it supports our weights and doesn't bow in. The door looks beautiful. The door knocker makes the door look even better. I give them a B for price because that pretty costly. Val will say....but it's custom 😀

In a 2 hour job, the man cleaned up at the completion of the job. The serviceman arrived as scheduled. The price was the most reasonable in comparison to others in my area. He was very patient in allowing me to determine which old keys connected with my old door. After a few days of completion, I noticed the magnetic seal was not tight and the door knob was loose. By setting a new appointment the gentleman came back to fix it at no additional charge.

I searched Angies List for a local local locksmith and AA Smith and Sons came up very highly rated. I called their main number and Mr. Tim Smith the owner answered immediately. I explained what I wanted done and we then set a date and time for his visit to the house. Mr. Smith called the day of the appointment early to confirm when he'd arrive.He called a bit later to say he was held up on another job but was on his way to our home. When he arrived, he assessed the doors, what we wanted, offered various best options , provided the cost and then proceeded with the installations. His fees were fair and reasonable and the quality of workmanship was excellent. He was fully prepared, had a professional vehicle that housed his equipment and all products needed. He completed the jobs timely and then offered to adjust a family room sliding door after we asked about additional security locks for the unit. He did this, all unsolicited. He was very courteous, neat and highly professional. We recommended him to a family member in a nearby town and he was scheduled to do work the next day at her home. i would highly recommend AA Smith and Sons Lock and Safe.

My first interaction with them was with a woman who answered the phone. She was articulate, friendly and knowledgeable. I was able to schedule the estimate immediately. I was able to schedule the actual job just as easily. Once the repair start day neared they called twice to tell us they were delayed on another job and would need to start a few days later than planned. I had no issue with this at all considering they let me know of the delays as soon as they could rather than waiting until the last minute or just not showing up. The customer service ethic at handyman matters must be very high. Rare these days. The job was completed to our satisfaction in the time frame estimated. The repairman, Lou, was personable and a very hard worker. He made sure to minimize the mess, to the extent he completely removed the drop cloths and other stuff before going home each night. Our repairs and paint job look great. I would work with this company again in a heartbeat. It was probably the best experience I've had with a Handyman or Contractor ever.

I purchased an Angie's List coupon for handyman services and I was so satisfied with the work provided by Reliable Contracting. Reliable lives up to their name. Richie seems to quietly sing a tune while he works at installing the fan in my kitchen; both my parents felt that was a good sign of someone that enjoyed their job. My family was overall very happy with the work and I would call Reliable for any future work. Plus, I told my neighbors about the great job.

House Doctor's (Tim) showed up early, completed all work in the time period purchased. All work was done very well. Tim was professional and courteous. Office staff is very good, scheduled the time I requested. I would recommend and use House Doctor's again

The storm door looked nice at first glance. Problem #1 The caulking for the capping on the storm door is literally the sloppiest i have ever seen. All they had to do was smooth it out with a finger or a wet rag. I had to strip the caulking and re do it. I am not a contractor. Then i assume the caulking finished because some of adhesive was used to finish the job; it never dried. again i had to strip it and finish it. Problem #2- The short Baldheaded gentleman (the main guy) will sell you his doors as gods gift. That peep hole is not what he makes it out to be. Its just a peephole, the home depot sales it just as well. #3 the racoons opened it right back up. They just capped the hole without reinforcing it. #4 The capping on the roof although completed to meet the intent of capping it is sloppy. NO ATTENTION TO DETAIL. #5 The gap between the door and the storm door was not measured properly prior to installation. So i can only fit the key on the inside part of the house to open the door( it locks from the inside) The paint is stripping of the doors. I am not saying the company does bad work; however due to my experience i would not use the company to hammer a nail in my house.

King provided excellent service. We chose them over 3 other companies that gave us estimates. We got the estimate at the end of last year, but due to the terrible winter weather, job was not completed until April. That was ok, as none of the work was urgent. They responded to phone calls and came when they said they would. This is a big plus for me, as I hate when businesses don't call back or don't show up on time. We felt the price was competitive for what we wanted and the salesman Marc was very knowledgeable and answered our questions about different types of doors and what would work best on our home. Everything was carefully measured prior to the order being sent to the factory. Our awning was installed first, excellent job. The doors came a few weeks later. The entry door was a little different than the one we ordered - it had a peephole in it which we did not want. They admitted the mistake, installed the door anyway as our old door was already off. A couple of weeks later, they made it right by installing the exact door we wanted without the peephole as soon as it was ready. Despite that small mistake, they were very professional and accommodating. The workmen were very neat and did the work quickly and professionally. They did not consider the job done until we were satisfied. We would highly recommend King and we would use them again if we needed work done.

Let me tell you how pleased I am with Anthony from Infinity. Hands down one of the best construction professionals I have ever delta with. We started off with fixing some of the various state inspection items, he was so responsive fast and priced right. We gave him the entire building to work on redoing the hallways,sheetrocking, painting, laying tile, building a fence for garbage.. He did such a wonderful job it was like a dream, especially after dealing with nightmares this is a breathe of fresh air. I now hired Anthony to handle the monthly maintenance for both my buildings. Now that Anthony is part of the family we will be buying more buildings because having a person like him on the team is priceless. A++

I contacted the contractor prior to the Christmas Holiday for a quote. He was one of a five contractors I contacted and only one of two who provided a quote. His quote was what I expected and seemed uncomplicated. Scheduling a time for the work became a slight challenge but we finally settled on a day in late January/early February 2010. They arrived on time. The contractor brought two young guys with him who he aside the work. The contractor was focusing on another project in the neighborhood but close enough if needed. The two workers were very experienced and quickly got to work. They removed the old door. Drilled holes in the new door for the peep-hold, sized it up, drilled a hole for the entry security device, installed the door and half-jamb. The door perfectly..with no room for error. They installed the door know and locks, the peep-hole and painted the trim and cleaned up. The contractor followed up a few doors later to make certain all was ok - and it was.
