The lady's name is Diane and she is very good. She charged me $35 an hour. She used to work for Sears for 22 years installing fridges and stoves. She cleaned up my fridge underneath the coil and also the coils in the air conditioner. She definitely knows her job. She's professional. Her price is average. Her responsiveness is very good. She does a lot of maintenance work for some wealthy person in Lauderdale every week. I would use her services in the future too.
Description of Work: I used the services of Shep's Home Repairs a couple of weeks ago. I had to put a new bidet in the bathroom. She did some real handy jobs for me.

After replaceing the heating element in the dryer ourselves it still didn't heat. Diane knew just what to look for and replace, and also gave us great tips on yearly maintainence and saving money on our electric bill. No doubt in my mind, I would call her again!

It was a good experience. I would hire her again for handyman work. She did everything well. She came when she was coming and she did what she said she would do. She charged me what she said she would charge.
Description of Work: She installed two ceiling fans. She hung some pictures for me and a mirror. She also pressure cleaned my patio.

I never made an appointment with this cust.If it's the customer I'm thinking of I advised him that I could not do the job. He must have me mistaken with someone else. As my reports indicate, I always show up.

It went well and I would recommend them. They were very professional and very client oriented. They completed their work very high quality and they were very punctual.
Description of Work: I used Shep's Home Repairs to do some repair work on the fascia board on the exterior of my home as well as some other minor repairs and exterior painting.
She is a pretty good handy woman. I paid about $90 on that last job. She is very good and pretty reliable. She always shows up when she says she would.
Description of Work: I used Shep’s Home Repairs and she did some plumbing, tried to repair awning, interior and exterior painting and blinds. The last time I used her was about 3 weeks ago and she changed some lights and repaired the remote control for the awning.

Diane is the ultimate professional. She is punctual and extremely focused on the job she is performing. She takes the time to explain what she is doing so that you are informed of all her steps. She is a quick problem solver and is constantly aware of what would be best for the customer. I was extremely pleased with the quality of her work and with her knowledge. I could not have made a better choice than Diane! As a new condo owner I will be making more upgrades to my home, so I am positive that I will be contacting her again, in fact, I already have my next Diane list started. I highly recommend her for any home repairs you may have.
Description of Work: Diane performed various services during the time she was in my home. She re-caulked many of my baseboards, fixed the lock in my sliding glass door, installed two bathroom light fixtures, installed and tested my washer and dryer, and fixed a water leak.

Her charge is about $30 an hour. She was really good when she came at the end of the year. There was another job that I wanted her to do, but I haven?t heard back from her, so I don?t know what is happening with her. She was really good when she is here, but her follow-up is not so good. The price is really good for what work she did. I could not find the hinges for the cabinet doors and she went out and found the right one and put them on. She is really resourceful at finding the material, if you can?t find them yourself. She spent like an hour trying to do the screen door properly.

Totally UNSAT. Contacted her and appeared to be responsive. However, a bit undecisive with regard to when she could accomplish the work. When she did come out, quickly determined she could not do the fan because it was too high and did not have needed ladder and something about the wires. Instead took on the job of doing the tank. Took a part off and held for several days in order to find a cap for the pump. Finally came out, put cap on sprinkler pump, and then determined she could not do job. Did not contact me and instead told my son she couldn't do. I'm still not clear on what happened. Definitely "wishy washy." Hired her because I didn't want to spend time doing the work and ended up doing the job anyway. She was a total waste of time. .

Response from Shep's Home Repairs
When this man called I asked how high was fan and he said only 6-8 ft. I told him I did not do high ones. When I got there it was 14' with pole. Advised I couldn't do fan and looked at pump. Wife said no rush-when went back with part for pump saw it was more entailed-advised son I couldn't do job as man said he would be in meeting. Made 2 trips and picked up 1 part for pump and did not charge anything. If he hadn't misinformed me in the beginning I would have declined job. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I called her immediately when I saw the problem. She responded right away, appreciating my concern. She removed old screening and installed the new. Work was done very, very professionally. She replaced a part in one toilet and made an adjustment in the other, saving me money. She described what she did, but I don't get it. She explained that if problems were more than minor, I should call a plumber.
Description of Work: Patio screens tore and I have 2 cats. I provided screening and Diane brought spline to make sure size was right. She replaced another screen in the same area. She came with a short notice call. I had problems with 2 toilets. Fixes were minor and she solved both issues.

It was a great experience. My call was responded to quickly and efficiently. Diane fixed the dryer and went out of her way to show me where the lint build-up was on the roof and removed it from the vent with my long handled brush. I would highly recommend her company.
Description of Work: My dryer was not getting hot. I called Shep's on Sunday and got a call-back within hours. The service call was on Monday morning. Diane located the problem part and replaced it, showing me the part that was broken. We discussed lint build-up and she not only showed me where the outside vent on the roof was, but went up on the ladder and using a long handled brush, removed it.

She was on time, very responsible. It went well but I also wanted her to put another coat of the sealer down and she had to come back a second day to do that. She gave me the choice of going and getting the sealer or have her go out and get the sealer. She got the sealer that I wanted and just so happened to be on sale and saved me $40.00! I would definitely use her again.
Description of Work: She did three days worth of work. She pressure cleaned my driveway. It had to be thoroughly dried. She came back and did the sealer and I requested that she do my lounger.

I called Shep's to replaced a bathroom exhaust fan and replace rusted bolts inside two toilet tanks. She promised to call me back the next day with availability. She called two days later and we set an appointment. Diana was on time and very friendly. She declined the fan replacement. I had purchased a larger exhaust fan that required cutting a larger hole in the ceiling and going into the attic to secure it to a joist. This is beyond the scope of what she normally does. She repaired the two toilet tanks bolts and cleaned out the lint from a roof vent that was affecting my dryer. I also inquired about having wall vents added to my garage. Diana said she would refer this and the fan to her partner. I have not heard from him.

They were very good. They were very courteous and I have no complaints. They were very professional and did a great job. I felt the price was fair. I would recommend them to other people.
Description of Work: They replaced the ceiling fan. They took down the old one and replaced the new one. They had to work on it quite awhile because it was large and complicated. They cleaned up everything.
Better than expected. Diane always came on time, worked quickly, efficiently and had very good suggestions.
Description of Work: Diane helped get my house ready to go on the market. She put up paneling in the Florida room and changed out light fixtures and fans. She tiled, grouted and painted. Diane even fixed my dryer, changed out a broken window and also did some plumbing. She was extremely helpful in seeing what needed to be done and going right to it. Diane is a very responsible and honest person. I am so grateful that I had her help.
