"It was terrible overall. Russell Walker from Panda Brand Construction, LLC contacted me 2am on March 5, 2025. I asked him to call me during business hours. I met with Russell on March 7, 2025 to go over what needed to be done in my home. I hired him on March 16, 2025 to scheme coat and paint living room going up stairs, repair and paint my ceiling, install kitchen cabinets, install kitchen flooring going into bathroom off kitchen area and drywalling and completing my utility room as well as epoxy countertops. The total amount, $6,700 labor and I provided all materials. On March 16, 2025 I gave Mr. Walker a cash deposit of $2,000 and received a receipt with his signature on it. He started the work on March 17, 2025 and asked for the remaining deposit of $1, 375.00 to complete half of the down payment of $6,700. I gave it to him. He was never on time to work. He would show up every day at 11am or later and leave at 3-3:30 pm. This went on from 3/17-3/31/2025. The second day at my home, Mr. Walker brought an ex-convict to my home and the two of them had a confortation and threatened to call the police on each other. After that, everyday he was bringing different individuals to my home and they were sabotaging to get more money to fix items that were not broken in the beginning. I continue to tell Mr. Walker that he needs to do better with all the work and people he was bringing. He agreed with me. Mr. Walker told me that the work in my home would only take one week to complete. I questioned that time frame and he assured me of that time. However, on week three he was still at my home and NOT one room or project was completed. He bounced all over my home not finishing anything. On March 31, 2025, Mr. Walker told a person that was helping him do work at my home to tell me he will not be returning to my home to finish anymore work. He later, showed up on 3/31/2025 to pick up his tools and told me that "since he feels that I get along better with the other person and not him. I should let the other person complete the projects". However, the other person was not qualified. He was a roofer. Because he was a roofer, he sent that person on my roof to sabotage, by pulling shingles off my roof to get more money from me to repair it. I have all the proof of pictures and text messages he sent about my roof weeks after he ran off with my deposit and abandoned the work. I also, took pictures of Mr. Walker's sloppy work (painting) that a child could have done better. He breached the contract and I would like my money back. I believe his bonded and license is a Phony and he is a Fraud."

"We hired Design First to redo our downstairs including a kitchen and bathroom. I would never recommend this company to anyone based on our experience with them. The company should be renamed Disappointment First. We used this company due to the recommendation of a friend but did not realize the ownership had changed. There are several other reviews that discuss how the company’s performance degraded with the new ownership. If you do use Design First, please learn from our mistakes in dealing with them and insist upon a firm completion date with a penalty per day for missing it. Several of their competitors offer this, and in our naivete we did not request a penalty for missing the completion date. We had a signed change order with a guaranteed 12/25/23 completion date, that they missed by several months. When we brought this up in discussions with them, they were dismissive and stated no penalty so nothing we can do."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
There are several questions or things to know before hiring a handyman to do any work in your home.
What kind of work do they do?
Do they have proper licensing?
Do they charge for estimates?
Is the estimate for both labor and materials?
Do they provide references?
Do you provide a guarantee?
When can you start and finish the job?
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
The average cost to remodel a garage is around $18,000, ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on size, materials, location, and other factors like plumbing and electrical. Garage remodels that include changing the roof and walls add significant expenses to the project. Plus, you can expect to pay about $1,400 for the building conversion permits. For a simple remodel, like painting interior walls and recoating the garage floor, it will cost about $2 to $5 per square foot.
