I had researched several companies to have the flooring in my living room redone. I decided to go with HouseMasters, Gary, because a co-worker had used him and just praised his services. I soon realized why. From the moment that he arrived I felt completely comfortable with him. Being a single mother it is very important for me to get the best deal and there was no sneakiness about him. He was straight forward and even ended up saving me some money by offering some suggestions. He came in on the 6th as planned and arrived on time. He did the job and I am happier than ever with my new flooring. I would absolutely recommend HouseMasters to anyone who is looking to have ANY work done. I will be calling him again.
Description of Work: Installed floating floor in my living room.

I was gathering quotes on the Angie's List website to have a pet door installed in an exterior wall in my garage. Housemasters replied within hours of my quote request being sent with a great quote. I immediately messaged them back through Angie's List asking if we could set up the work, and I included my phone number. This was later at night on a Monday so I figured we'd be in contact on Tuesday. On Tuesday, Housemasters never called me, so I called them late in the afternoon and left a voice mail stating I was interesting in getting this job scheduled. I was sure to leave my name and phone number. Housemasters never called me back or contacted me in any way. Obviously I'll cross them off my list of companies to ever consider using since they have horrible communication.

Problems, particularly leakage, developed after the work was done. I called Gary to come back and fix the problems. He told me that he would come but failed to show up at the appointed time. Subsequently, I tried to reach him by phone and e-mail but he did not respondHis unresponsiveness is very unprofessional.
Description of Work: Remodelled my birthroom. Work was done by the owner, Gary. I bought the materials and paid Gary the full amount ($2000.00) he charged for labor.

before bathroom was demo we always look at drains in all fixtures to determine how drains are working the sink was slow to drains i brought to homeowners attention this fact we done demo and will this process was going on we found that the drains were galvanized pipes and were almost rusted closed i suggested that we should replace metal pipe with PVC drains but it would be an additional $200.00 customer thought i was trying to change the price in the middle of the job i told her how we would have to remove some drywall to do this additional work and i was very reasonable with my pricing she we snaked the drain pipes at no cost to her and hoped that would work, done remodel tested drains they seem to work good but over time they started draining slow i did return on one occasion to look at drains i removed the vanity and tryed to snake drain again and run drain cleaner down pipes it seemed to help but i again let her know of her pipe drain issue at start of job

We hired housemasters to repair the frame of an exterior door that had been deteriorating. He was very helpful, arrived when he said he would and completed the repair in a timely fashion. Upon completion, the door and frame were much better quality than when the home was built. I appreciated his honesty, promptness and the quality of his workmanship. I won't hesitate to hire him again.

We got them off Angie's list. I will give them A. They are coming back on Monday. So far, we have spent $1200, but Doty is going to do more work for us. He calls that is the big thing. He does the work he says he is going to. He is polite. He is on time. I find his prices are fair.
Description of Work: Housemasters build an enclosure around our HVAC and put in an exterior door for us about a week ago.
They were here for about a week. The job was very good. They paid attention to detail and always consulted us before they did something to make sure it was what we wanted. It was the only estimate we got and we thought the price was reasonable.
Description of Work: We used Housemasters to do a whole number of different things. They installed some ceiling fans, put down some kitchen and bathroom floors, did plumbing and a whole bunch of stuff.

Gary Doty and his associate were excellent to work with. Gary made a point to call to let us know he was running a little later than expected, which we appreciated. The work was all completed with minimal disruption inside and outside the house. On the second day they were here, Gary was not entirely pleased with the ceiling repair completed the day before, so he worked on it again.
Description of Work: We were in need to several kinds of repairs: exterior siding repair and the interior ceiling leak that had resulted, exterior window sealing and cleaning, interior caulking and a plumbing repair. We also are in need of a masonry repair, which was included in the quote, but Gary agreed that working with someone with greater restoration experience might have other solution. We appreciated his willingness to make the kind of recommendation.

I called Gary and he was able to come out in a good time frame. He hooked up the refrigerator and brought the appropriate parts. He also put the doors back on because they had to come off in order to get it in the kitchen. I asked him how much it would be to put on the storm door that was off and after he told me the price I asked if I could do it myself and he said it should be too hard and he gave me an overview. So as he was leaving, my niece and I were trying to put it up and he came back and said he wanted to help. He helped us hold the door up so I could get a good start. I even had him come back later in the week to do work on the hot water valve and hook up the appliances. I thought that was a bit pricey because it only took him 20 minutes to do this work but I guess you pay for expertise, but I'd definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Had refrigerator, washer, and dryer hooked up.

All of the things above got done in 2 days. They did an excellent job on everything. The ceiling fan with light was the best. The room did not have an overall light and they were able to go through the garage and attic to install the fan/light without having an electrical cord down the wall. It looks great. All other things were done well too. The master bedroom and bath could have had a second coat of paint in certain sections, but overall it looks good. Was very happy with the service and the price. The men involved were professional, neat and did the work in a short period of time.
Description of Work: Install new shower door, install new ceiling fan/light, install towel bars, toilet tissue holders, and handicap bar, replaced 3 chandeliers, installed dimmer switch, and paint master bedroom and bathroom.
