HDR Remodeling Inc.

When I was shown the estimate of $700, I thought it must be a more complicated job than I had imagined. The painter took a total of 35 minutes to actually paint. When I contested the charge, the owner said, "Well, you signed the estimate so you pay it."

When I called them, they let me know promptly of their $100/hour charge, 2 hour minimum, and scheduled a visit for a week later. Two handymen, one experienced and one apprentice, appeared a few minutes prior to the scheduled time. The exterior door required unusual attention, as it needed to be cut to fit in the existing jamb. We are quite happy with the result. The drywall task was performed according to our stipulations. According to our real estate agent, a fair price was charged for the work performed. We were somewhat surprised that the charge for the apprentice was almost as much as for the experienced man. Both men were polite, courteous, and competent.

The person who did the work was Larry Cucci, and he was excellent. A very nice guy who does very good work. The price may be a bit high ($100/hr, 2 hr min), but I don't really know what typical hourly rates are. It's worth the cost though, to have competent work carefully done. The company itself seems to be quite honest and fair. For any future carpentry/handyman work, I will definitely use this company, and will definitely request that they send Larry Cucci.
