Description of Work: Still a work in progress. Dave was initially called to retrieve a lost ring from a bathroom drain. Since then he has fixed several closet lights, installed under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, retrofitted some formerly sawdust producing kitchen drawers, installed a garbage/recycling insert into a kitchen cabinet, and is currently installing replacement kitchen cabinet hardware. He's pleasant, versatile, and hard to rattle, even when faced with a tough challenge.

Description of Work: He performed the services we had in mind. No complaints, although he made it clear we were getting a really "good deal" from Angie's list, as his regular charge would be much more. I didn't care for this comment, but the work was well done and his responsiveness was excellent.

I would gladly apologize for any possible miscommunication but I never received any calls, texts or messages from you. I pride myself on communication and would still like to honor the 2-hour Storefront coupon you purchased and were given a refund. Please feel free to call any time.

Description of Work: Dave was excellent. I provided my "todo" list before he came. He was able to do almost everything and had the necessary tools and parts with him. He suggested I use a regular plumber for a couple of problems he felt were beyond his expertise. I appreciated that. | |I have already referred him to a neighbor and will definitely use him again.
