Affordable Home Maintenance

He had to build a frame and wall-board over the door before installing the frame. He did an excellent job of matching the existing wall and you wouldn't know the door hasn't always been there. We fully recommend and plan to have Ron back for additional projects.

I contacted Affordable Home Maintenance to lay tile on am outside covered gazebo that we were re-doing.  The owner, Ron, immediately answered the phone when I called.  I explained to him what I wanted and he said that was something that he could do.  We set a time and Ron came out to give me an estimate.  He showed up on time and was very courteous.  He quoted me a range price since he works by the hour.  He did state that if it did take longer, his quote would stand and he would not charge us anymore. The only additional charges would be for supplies that I did not provide to him. I accepted his price and set up a day to start. 

Ron showed up on a Monday morning and began work.  He told us that he would probably only work six hours in a single day due to working exclusively outside on my project and the summer heat was here.  I told him that was not a problem.  We were not in a rush for it to be completed.  I did not know that the slab that Ron was laying the tile on was not square.  (It was put in before I moved in.)  Ron had to take numerous measurements and lay down new chalk lines so that the tile would come out looking straight.  He made sure that there would not be a sliver of a tile anywhere on the slab. 

Ron worked many more hours on this project than he had expected to.  I offered to pay more, but Ron said that the quote was what he was sticking to. 

Ron was very meticulous on his work.  The way the tile has been laid out and cut, it was difficult to tell that the slab was not square.

I would use Affordable Home Maintenance again for any work around my house.

Response was immediate and professional. Carlos arrived same day call for service was placed.  Identified and explained problem with dryer.  Replaced 2 rollers.  Unfortunately, replacing only the back 2 rollers caused the dryer tub to lean forward and cause a squeaky noise. I left  message with Affordable Care in the evening after hours and received a call back first thing the next morning.  Carlos was on site the same day to identify problem and replace front 2 rollers at no additional cost.

Ron picked up the phone and after explaining to him that I am a property manager looking for handyman to do some maintenance jobs in the east valley. He told me he does not take job from referring company. That's fine with me, I am NOT a referring company. But he insisted i am a referring company and shouting at me not to call him ever again before hung up on me, What's an experience and how could he perform his job with such attitude and temper. Listening to your caller or client is the way to get your job done right. No prejudgement or discrimination!!!

HE IS EXALLANT IN EVERY WAY----- HARD TO FIND SOMEONE THIS GOOD THESEDAYS

Everything went great.

That was fine. They were prompt. They did the work in an appropriate time for him.

It went as discussed and expected.

Ron is very professional and honest in the work he does. I would highly recommend him.

They were available immediately and did a very quality job in building my "floor"...even went to the store to get more supplies.

Fantastic person to work with. Did complete job without any supervision and work was excellent. I live 18 miles away so I was forced to depend on him and his judgement. Perfect job!

He is great.  Very clean, professional, knowledgable, organized, and courteous.  I would use them again and would recommend him to others.

I called Ron for some repairs to one of my doors that was damaged from a burglary.  He arrived on time, assessed the damage to my door and made his recommendations for the repair.  He explained his fees up front and asked for my approval before he did any work.  I want to mention that he came to my home on very short notice, too.  He did the work as described very proficiently.  His hourly wage is pretty high, but he really seems to know what he is doing and cares about the finished product.  He is also very polite and conscientious in cleaning up his work area when he is finished.
I had him come out again less than a week later, because the burglars came back again and this time, they destroyed all Ron's previous hard work and destroyed not only the utility room door, but also my front doors.  I went to Home Depot and bought a new door for my utility room and a security door and at Ron's recommendation.  Ron installed both doors beautifully.  I am very happy with his work.  He may be a bit slower than some handymen, but he is very conscientious and thorough.  I just wish his fees weren't so much, but I have learned that more often than not, you get what you pay for.  Cheaper isn't always better. He took longer than expected, so he didn't charge me for the full time he worked, which was great. 
Ron will be coming back to install my new front doors when they come in from Home Depot, and I have every faith that he will do another great job......I can hope it wont' take as long, but as long as it's done right, that is the most important thing, right?

This was for a long distance landlord. I had a large list of projects after a tenant moved out and I had the good fortune of catching Ron in between projects. He called back and looked at the work and scheduled to come out and do the work. According to my property manager, Ron did a great job with the work. Until he retires I hope he will continue to be my home maintenance person.

Great job from start to finish! Ron is extrememely knowedgeable and talked us through each step, even taking time to stop work and explain each section of the work. He gives you the choice of providing materials for him, or he will get them for you at 20% over his cost. He was a joy to work with, and gave wonderful and helpful advice on how to lay down tile (I've never done it before!). He found an additional problem with a vent not properly attached to a duct below the floor, and fixed it at no additional cost. He also provided additional advice on other home improvements I could do myself (even though he said he wouldn't mind being hired to do it! -- Thank you, Ron).  His finished work was fantastic. He is a true professional, and I would immediately recommend him to anyone.

Ron knows what he is doing, and did good work. He was punctual, careful and tidy. He is also a nice guy.

The heat lamp job took longer than I expected (based on my own abilities and another bid), but this was compensated by Ron's realistic $40/ hour rate (as opposed to a mind-boggling $70/hour that another handyman wanted). The smaller drywall job seemed to go at a good pace, allowing for drying times. 
 
If you need a reliable solo handyman with carpentry and electrical skills consider Ron. My drywall job was not very demanding, but I got the impression that he is quite competent in this field.

When I first called Ron (from Angie's List) I told him it did not need him to come out here for a estimate. Just do the job and if he met the criteria listed below I would use him for all future jobs:

• Professional quality work - "good enough" would not be acceptable.
• Not the cheapest price, but a fair price.
• No clean-up left after he was done and gone.
• Same workman every time, No employees or subs except for special applications.
• Show up on time, or at least call and reschedule in the event he just could not make it.

He passed with flying colors in all areas.

AAA rating on Ron's services he did an excellant job and would hire again.

He's got a basic knowledge of everything. But he's also conscientious about other issues that might be visible. On the most recent job, he also noticed I had termites which could have caused a lot of damage had they gone unaddressed. He has been building houses for over 30 years. He does it all. He is a one man operation and his price point is unmatched and does the best work. I've referred Ron to others and I always get positive feedback about him. He does get busy from time to time, but if I have a serious issue he'll come over pretty quickly. I plan to use him as my go to guy for rental property maintenance.
