I bought a deal on Angies Big Deal.
Scheduling went well.
They were a bit late showing up to the job but not a big deal.
The father was very responsive and assertive.  The son did what he asked.
The light was installed with a gap between the fixture and the brick wall, which they informed me of after they were done with all of my work. They told me to go buy silicone from Home Depot, which I did but the gap was so large (1" or more) that silicone won't work.  It was a real problem because there is electrical there and with weather, water/snow would easily get back there.   
The PVC work was done well, and it wasn't exactly an easy thing to address.
Understanding this is a handyman service, i was still surprised at some of the things they were asking me to supply to do the work.  It felt like they were essentially just labor without relevant tools.
I also felt uncomfortable with them in general from a personality standpoint.

"[Member name removed], I have records of our phone calls. I talked to Nancy..in March. She stated she would call back when she was back in town. She stated sometime in April. I never heard back from you. We would have been happy to help you. I am sorry things did not work out.. You can get a refund from Angies list I do believe."

Scheduled work. Tony(?) arrived and said he was only there for an estimate. Rescheduled w/company for a time when my husband would be available,but then had to reschedule. Call back to schedule, Sarah said fine. Then she called back and said they don't come to "that" side of town,their work is mostly on North side and she said she wasn't coming to "that" side of town at night, although we didn't ask for a night appointment. Sounds like racism, classism to me.
Response from Chicago Estate Repair and Liquidation

"[Member name removed], We came to your location and all repairs were beyond basic handyman work. We agreed to help you, but you had no time except after 5-6pm. We had a project north You also canceled a couple times, which we did not complain about. , and traffic at that time would not allow enough light time to do your work. I discussed with you in the beginning that your area was not usually in our work zone. Angies list does not have us that far south or southwest. It would be unfair to our customers. I am sorry things did not work for you. You can get a coupon refund. Thank you."

They installed a pot rack we had ordered independently that arrived with grossly inadequate instructions that would have caused  damage to our ceiling had we done the work ourselves. They went out and purchased all the needed hardware and installed the rack correctly and it's been functioning perfectly ever since.

It went very well. Jose and his crew were honest, professional, and brought all the tools and supplies needed. They were a team of three and worked continuously till 9pm at night to finish the job. They came back once again to finish up where they needed to finish up the work. We were very satisfied with them and I would use them and recommend them.

This was a terrible experience.  First, when he came out we made a list of items that were to be completed: a drywall patch, fix and patch some dropping curtain brackets, paint over an old water stain, and patch some trim.  He said it would be 3-3.5 hours to complete all of the work, he made a list of materials to bring, and we agreed on a fixed price.
The contractor had to cancel the first day, so we rescheduled for the next week.
When the contractor came, he actually spent 5 hours and did not complete all of the work.  He didn't patch the trim, nor did he paint over the old stain he said he would.  The work he did do he left without painting, so we now have to find another contractor to come in and finish the job he started.  At the beginning of the day, one of the workers was asking for matching paint and at the end of the day the main contractor was telling me that they didn't do any painting.  In his words "I don't even carry a paint brush."  Never mind that we specifically had listed a number of painting tasks when he made the estimate.
They did not properly clean up their work.  The mud they used in their drywall patch wound up on the walls, on a mirror, and under a dresser (which they moved to try and cover it up hoping we wouldn't notice). 
What they did do didn't work.  One of the curtain rods they repaired ripped out of the wall within one day, creating a much larger problem than we originally had.
When it came time to pay, the contractor tried to stiff me by asking for $100 more dollars than we had agreed to because it took more time than he had anticipated....even though he didn't finish all of the work and there were no surprises in what he was doing.  Eventually I convinced him to take the original amount, but it was very unprofessional.
Response from Chicago Estate Repair and Liquidation

"Initial request for 2 hrs of handyman repairs, "small crack" in drywall in bathroom, "small crack" in living room. 2-3 tiles in bathroom to be replaced along with green wall behind. We usually come out for an initial estimate on drywall to see what is cuasing the damage, and the fact it may be more than simple handyman work. Many times drywall repairs are due to leaking water which needs to be addressed first. You did not want to pay for anything more than a surface cover up of damage. you stated you wanted "plastic" put behind wall repair so that no leaks would reappear before you sold property. We are uncomfortable with this practice and this type of repairs. We attempted to complete all your requests that day."

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and once they finally came it was fine. They don't answer the phone in their office and the appointment was scheduled with my by text, which was fine. But, the guy did not come within the time window that was scheduled. I called again and was told the appointment was the next day, even though I had confirmation for this day. He finally came and it was great, but it was difficult to get him here. The work was great, but it was just the customer service on the front end.

Stacked our washer/dryer and added dimmers to 3 different rooms... Very professional and quick.  Included in cost was extra fee for electrical, which was quoted up front and the cost of the dimmers.  They did an awesome job!

I liked them.   Jose and Paul (father and son) were very punctual.   they went right to it.   the installation was a bit more difficult than I expected since railings had to be cut,  holes had to be drilled into the tiles and the closet opening was apparently not leveled.    I know they worked hard the entire time they were here.    I had originally paid for 2 hours via Angie's list but I know they worked a bit more than 4 hours so I offered to pay more for the extra time.   They hauled all the debris away with them including the old doors

and the boxes for the new doors.

Not good.  I do not recommend others use this company. Due to physical health conditions, I am unable walk around much.  After this company had initially completed the work I was only able to glance at the completed work, such as in the basement which initially looked clean to me.  Therefore I initially thought they had done a good job overall.  However, after later thoroughly inspecting the work, I found many concerning issues.  Below are a few of them:  

1. I found they had damaged some of my husband’s tools beyond repair.  

2. I found they never put the wheels on the industrial shelving I hired them to set up in my basement.  This means it will be nearly impossible to properly clean my basement.    

3.  They didn’t properly paint the walls.  In one of my bedrooms I hired them to paint the walls a cream color.  After their employee, Jose, completed an initial coat, I requested he paint it again because the old green paint on the wall was showing through.  Jose then said he couldn’t put on another layer because the paint may peel.  I later found Jose also did not apply a needed second coat in my landing a stairway area.  

4. They damaged my railing. I found an employee of this company had stepped on my railing to paint some places, rather than using a ladder.  This railing is now starting to come out of the wall and needs to be repaired  

5. My ladder was replaced with a ladder in poor condition.  I’ve had a regular 6 foot aluminum ladder that has always been in very good shape.  The ladder this company left at my home is definitely a workman’s ladder, with paint and dirt all over it.  My aluminum ladder was never in the condition of the ladder they left in my home    

I talked to the owner of the company, Sara, about these many issues as well as some others.  She is a very smooth talker and tried to talk her way out of all concerns I brought up.  Sara also insulted me by asking me if I was on meds, which I felt was an insinuation that I can’t think clearly. Again, I do not recommend anyone else use this company.
