At the outset and along the way, Brent showed us different problems he discovered once he tore out the wall and saw the extent of the problem. At each step, he gave us choices for what to do, and offered recommendations when we asked. We mostly followed his recommendations, and we have not regretted doing so. Beyond the tearing out part, the work he and his assistant did includes: (1) replacement of rotten wood in the walls around the shower and the crawl space below, (2) replacement and painting of rotten siding in the exterior behind the shower, (3) installation of a new and much more secure shower (including floor and wall tiling), (4) removal of bathroom wallpaper and re-painting of the walls, (5) installation of a new and much more attractive shower-area lighting, and a lot of other elements I'm not recalling. The cost was higher than he initially estimated, but only because the problem proved more extensive than he could know (being unable to see in side the bathroom walls). Frankly, we were worried the cost would be much higher. I would call on him again without hesitation. He is an excellent diagnostician and a first-rate craftsman, which is a rare and valuable combination.
Description of Work: We had a complex problem involving a leaking shower that had created wood rot problems in the surrounding walls. We talked with a number of carpenters and plumbers, none of whom seemed even to understand the full problem, much less have the capability to address. When Brent (the head of Total Home Repair) came, he examined the shower and the crawl space below before telling--and showing--us what needed to be done: a combination of extensive carpentry, wall replacement, shower tile removal and replacement, interior painting, and a new light fixture. When I asked what part of this he could do, he said, "I do it all." And he did--with high quality in each component.

I could not be more pleased. They really do try to get things exactly as you want them, and are real partners who will discuss options and choices for your home improvement and really try to get to the ideal solution for your remodel. THEY LISTEN!! I would trust them for turnkey work anytime. Brent is always happy to show receipts for the cost of materials for your job and his labor rate is fixed for all work, so you can plan your remodel with confidence in the expected cost. Jody is a great guy and takes real pride in his work, as does Brent. I look upon them as my partners for improvement of my environment. I depend on them. I should say that the cost indicated includes all materials, labor and the A/C unit installed.
Description of Work: Brent and Jody arrived right on time and went over the work to be done with us, and we were able to get away for our appointment in plenty of time. They plumbed and installed a brand new spigot by drilling through the wood and brick from my basement. They also put an easy to access cut off for the spigot so that we can turn it off during the winter. It is exactly as I wanted and they made the minimum sized hole necessary in the brick for the pipe to pass. The appearance of the finished job is perfectly professional. Very good work. The also began painting and sealing the basement walls against moisture. The work is well done and no mess left. They repaired trim and painted it in the guest bath, really improving the appearance. Brent installed a window unit A/C and secured it in the window and installed anti-theft measures to protect it. He also installed a set of mini blinds on the same window. A decorative shelf was affixed to the living room wall, and they took measurements for a special piece of decorative glass needed over the entry door.

The job of installing locks on my door and repairing another lock went quite well. I have no complaints. The job was completed within a timely manner. The pricing for the job was good since I had my own locks. I will be using Brent McCurdy and Total Home Repairs for future projects.
Description of Work: Brent McCurdy did a wonderful job installing a door lock for one door and repaired another lock for a second door.

I recently remodeled a foreclosure for my mother to move into. After she move in we noticed some problems with some of the switches and outlets not working or popping and sparking when being used. These were problems from sub-parr construction when the home was originally built. This was obviously alarming to my mother so I contacted brent with Total Home Repair. Brent promptly scheduled us for an inspection and was able to correct the problem during his initial visit. The price was more than fair and the professionalism exceeded my expectation.

Fantastic!! Brent was a little slow getting to us. We had originally contacted him in January. But the reason was he is a very busy man and we consider that a good sign. We called him again March 5th and he was able to come out March 8th, exactly at the time he told us he'd be here. He gave us a quote for labor then went and bought all the needed supplies (except the staircase which we had already purchased). He and his helper then put in the staircase and flooring in the attic much quicker than I thought they could do it. The supplies he purchased turned out to be very economical. He made the decision of the type of flooring to use then explained why he choose what he did. Made perfect sense! The end result is a very stable and safe attic floor and access. We're thrilled to have such a nice storage area. The end price was exactly what he quoted for labor and the added expense for supplies was minimal. We're extremely happy with the result. We'll definitely use him again if we can be lucky enough to get some more of his time!
Description of Work: A pull down staircase and flooring was added in our garage attic so we could use it for storage.

Let me just say, we really love these guys! We hired them to basically paint the exterior of the house, but the care they took with our home made me feel good about hiring a contractor again. After a day of prepping the siding, we came to the realization that the siding was never going to look very good so we changed course. We replaced the siding with a more permanent solution of Hardy Plank panals. No more wood rot! Brent never made me doubt my decision and got right on replacing all the siding. It extended his job time by a couple of days but the house looks wonderful. We are very happy and can't wait to have them back again. Laminate flooring anyone?? PS They are dog friendly too!

Response from Total Home Repair
I am truly sorry you had such a hard time. I hope I wasn't confused with another company... as there is another Total Home Repair that I know of. I make a diligent effort to answer my phone at all times. Sometimes due to location that is not always possible, however I do check voice mails and return calls ASAP. I don't recall ever receiving and calls, voice mails, or e-mails (which I keep for 6 months) from you and as you can read in my reviews I follow a simple rule of "treat people the way I would want to be treated". Once again sorry for your problems and if you would like to reach me you can call anytime (404-578-9998).

Brent handled everything from start to finish. Called if there were choices to be made or questions. Made suggestions. My only problem is that he's a busy man and it took nearly three months for him to get down his work list to get to me and we had some weather delays. I knew going into it that I was #9 on a list and it would be awhile. He and his helper are quick and efficient and competent. I'd rehire for any number of things.
Description of Work: Power washed entire house, screened-in porch, decks, sand and paint exterior trim and porch, doors, weatherstrip all exterior doors. Replaced exterior locks and hardware (three doors). Replaced doorbell. Painted wraught iron fencing around all decks. Installed sensor lights to rear, side, front porch and garage. Note: Approximately half of the above money spent was on materials.

Brent and Total Home Repair are awesome! I highly recommend him and we will definitely be using him again in the future. Brent's schedule was totally full, but he managed to squeeze us in. He did a wonderful job communication when he would be available and he was punctual, calling ahead to let us know that he was on the way. Brent was very honest and cost conscious with regard to the repairs that were needed, being careful to recommend not doing more work than was necessary. GREAT JOB!
Description of Work: Brent and his assistant had to locate and isolate several gas leaks, including leaks inside of the wall and house. They fixed all of the leaks, including the installation of parts that were hard to find.

We've had literally dozens of tradesmen over the years but have never had one with the high degree of professionalism and expertise like Mr. McCurdy and his partner. They arrived promptly, were extremely easy and pleasant to work with. They went above and beyond with attention to detail in the prep of each project and this quality of work continued with the finished product. We had a long list of items to be fixed, upgraded or repaired and they completed all within the time he said they would. We've never had such high quality work before. We thought his price was low compared to what all they did and the quality of it and we feel he saved us a lot of money. They cleaned up afterward and we couldn't be happier with all the results. I'll ONLY use Mr. McCurdy for any future projects.
Description of Work: Painted every window and door frame on house and doors and window frames and arbor on shed. Secured copper tops on bedroom deck posts. Installed baseboard in hall. Tightened bathroom faucet and fixed leak in kitchen faucet. Replaced pet screen on garage screen door. Repaired ceiling seam between addition and existing ceiling in kitchen.

Response from Total Home Repair
I truely regret hearing that you did not recieve my proposal. I do remember coming to look at your house and the issues you were having ( facia, kitchen, and front deck). I did e-mail your proposal as I said I would and regret you not receiving it. I did not receive a notice saying it wasnt sent and never heard back from you so I assumed you decided to go with someone else. I have always made a dilligent effort to respond to customers and "do what I say". The estimate fee is something I have always charged and if I get the job it is credited toward the total price of the job....thus making the estimate free. I always explain this to the customer before I do any estimate and make sure it meets with their approval. I wish Member would have made an attempt to contact me regarding this issue as I could have re-sent it, mailed it or even hand delivered it.

Mr. McCurdy and his assistant arrived promptly and began working on my "laundry list" of repairs. I had purchased previously the new light for the family room ceiling fan, so they only had to install that. They checked the light in the kitchen, determined what was needed, and fixed the light. When Mr. McCurdy came to give an estimate for the work, he found what was wrong with the front door bell, so he had the replacement part ready when he came to do the work. He brought also some of the other parts that were needed to make the repairs for some of the other work. All of the work was completed that day except for the replacement of the bedroom window which had to be ordered. As soon as the window arrived, Mr. McCurdy brought it over and installed it. I was more than pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of Mr. McCurdy and his assistant.
Description of Work: Repaired front door bell, installed a new garbage disposal, replaced light on family room ceiling fan, replaced broken windows (bedroom and front door), repaired kitchen ceiling light, adjusted three exterior doors, repaired hall bathroom toilet.

He is by far... the best contractor we have ever worked with. Having numerous remodels, we have worked with a LOT of contractors but none of them compare to "Total Home Repair". Brent is Highly recommended, a "one stop shop". When we initially met he was scheduled a few weeks out and was worth the wait. . He has provided remarkable service and QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP at a fair price. He and his help are a great find! We spent about $2300 on a commercial property and a little more on a neglected residential property in 2011.
Description of Work: Work has been performed on commercial and residential properties. The work performed included windows repair/replace, electrical, tile, flooring, porch, decking, gas lanterns, gas grill, plumbing, lighting, ceiling fans, glass shower door, sheetrock repair, interior and exterior woodwork, painting and lamp repair among many other things.

The actual repair person answered the phone and after some questions about what was going on, said that they would try to stop by on the way home that evening. When they were running late, they called to reschedule for first thing in the morning. They arrived on time. After surveying the problem, they left to buy a part that needed replacement and then returned immediately to complete the repair. I have not had any problems with the toilet since.

Mr. McCurdy was great. From start to finish the job was neat and clean. My husband and I just moved into a new townhome and we are living between two states. We didn't have a lot of time to get some thing done before we had to head out of town. Mr. McCurdy was kind enough to fit us in to his schedule. He spent about 3 hours doing various things like mounting a very large and heavy TV bracket and TV on a wall, putting up various bathroom fixtures including some difficult shower curtain rods, installing a light fixture in a bathroom and a mirror, installing a new refrigerator water line for an Ice maker, and even replacing a missing gutter on an outside downspout. His appearance was also neat as well as a clean, and had well organized truck. Oh, and I can't forget his assistant also. He was great! They did a lot in a small period of time. Now I can't wait to use him again, but this time for a project that I was going to have Lowes complete. I feel his price will be better and I know he will work with my difficult schedule. There is no sense in letting small things around your home turn into major repairs, when you have a company like Total Home Repair to call on. He even answered his phone at 10:00 at night which shocked me, as I was prepared to leave a message. Brent is the person to call !!!! :-)
