Paul Meade Handyman

Paul did a great job and fixed everything on my list. I've used him several times.

I explained twice to him that he could either remove the entire door and casing and reinstall it so it opened outward or remove the hinges and install them so the door swung to the LEFT. He elected to remove the hinges and we discussed it twice just to be sure, and I went on my way doing things around the house I came back a little later and he had installed two of the three hinges so the door would swing to the RIGHT. I ask him what the **** was he doing and why would I want a door to swing in front of my refridgerater. He apologized. I sat and watched him for the rest of the project not trusting his aptitude. He finished the job I paid him and left. I went to Home Depot bought some touch up paint and sanding block, and spackle. I go to sand smooth the filler he used only to discover he used some rubbery window caulking than wasn't hard enough to sand. The following morning it was a little harder but you cannot sand rubber. I am so sorry that I called this guy, he is NOT a finished carpenter even though my Angie's List search was for a finished carpenter! I'm done with him and Angie's List as well.

He couldn't "figure out" how to replace our ceiling fan, even though it came with install instructions. He told me I'd have to find someone else to do it, and left it half installed with loose wires poking out. What handyman can't replace a ceiling fan? I wanted him to also replace a light fixture, but the screws were stripped, so again he said I would have to find someone else and left the fixture 1/2 taken down. My husband was able to replace both, but we hired Paul because my husband didn't have time to do this work. Paul leaving these jobs 1/2 done and with wires exposed really messed up our plans because my husband had to stay up late fixing this mess after working a 12hr day. Paul did change 2 chandeliers, and really impressed us by fixing a pocket door that was falling off its track in only 10 minutes. But, he was here 6 hours and all that was accomplished was the pocket door and 2 chandeliers. I expressed to him my disappointment and he charged us for 4hrs of work, but I still feel like this was a high price for what he did ($140 to replace 2 chandeliers and tighten a pocket door, or basically 2hrs per chandelier). He is a very nice guy, and I was really hoping that he would work out and we could use him in the future, but I won't be using him in the future and I can't recommend him.

Mr. Meade has worked on other projects for my home. He showed up promptly, quickly completed the tasks and was friendly and helpful. We will gladly use his services in the future.

Excellent.

I called for bathroom light fixture and faucet install.

He was on time (even got me in a day early at my request) and  professional.

A bit slow and could not complete the job (not his fault, the sinks weren't lined up with the drain).  I had to have a plumber anyway.   I wish he had assessed the job prior to starting the faucets so I wouldn't have to pay twice for the installation.

The bathroom mirror was damaged (big scratch) during the light install which was not disclosed to me.. 

   In 2013 he replaced our Kitchen Insinkerator.   Also installed spyglass for 2 exterior doors.
.   We  appreciate Mr. Paul Meade's  professional work and most certainly will request his  services again.

Excellent

He came in and found out what I wanted done, helped put the lights together out of the boxes, and hung them from the ceiling. He worked quickly and efficiently. He was pleasant to talk with and was finished with the work very quickly. He didn't waste time getting the work done.

Paul did everything well.  Some repairs were complicated by the age of the house and wires and lines not being were they should have been.  Paul came up with creative solutions.  He arrived on time and spent 5 hours fixing things. Highly recommend Paul.
