Rod and his helper were awesome! Got the job done efficiently and exactly how I wanted it. They cleaned up after themselves, which I find most don’t and the areas looked cleaner than before they got here.
Description of Work: I hired them to run new electric from existing switch to install new lighting in ceiling and cut fiberglass door to install dog door.

Rod is great. Responded quickly and gave me a reasonable estimate.
Description of Work: Rod removed and hauled away an old air conditioner and installed a large new one. Is very thorough - even cleaned the window inside and out for me. Hired him in the past and will do so in the future.

Rod was fantastic to work with. Our neighbor hired him years ago to remodel her bathroom. We saw the excellent quality of work that he performed with her shower. She recommended him to us during our search for quotes. He was very responsive and quickly came out and gave us a quote for the job. His price was very reasonable compared to other quotes we had received. We were having a master bath/shower combo taken out and wanted a new tiled walk in shower. Rod had great ideas and suggestions that fit with what we were wanting while being very functional. We arranged a time for when the job would start and he showed up on time each day completing the task over a few weeks. He and his coworker Jerry were very polite and trustworthy. We had no issues with them working in our home while we were not there. They made sure the bathroom was clean each day and everything was put away since we were living in the space during the remodel. We were extremely pleased with the final product and would recommend his services to anyone in the future!

Rod and his partner were kind and patient. Performed services in timely manner and helped me 100% when I was in pinch to have them done quickly, even during a pandemic. They carefully took all the precautions necessary and were patient with my health issues assuring that everything I needed done was completed before they left even though we were over the scheduled time. They will be who I contact first for any handyman services In the future.

Rodney and Jerry installed two new French doors for me, as well as remove and replace some bad wood. They did a great job! They were on time, did the work well, and were very careful about my house and the mess involved. Installed, cleaned up, and were very pleasant while working. I have one more job for them and will call them again in the future if I have work to be done.

Excellent! The original doorway was uneven and Rodney did a fantastic job reframing so there would be no gaps once the new door was installed. He located a small leak and went on the roof to seal it up properly before putting in new insulation and the new door. We really appreciated him going the extra mile to make sure the job was done right and at a fair price. We will definitely hire him again!

Response from ROD'S HOME IMPROVEMENTS-RODNEY BARNES
Hi [Member Name Removed]. I'm Teresa from Rod's Home Improvement. I responded to your message thru AL Message Center. I apologize for not following up with you afterwards. I replied with the hope that we could get together the following Thursday. I didn't receive a response and I was somewhat overloaded at that time, so I assumed if you still needed the work done you would contact me back. Also, your method of contacting us did not provide any other information for me to contact you. I don't have a phone number, an address or even an email. We'd be glad to discuss the job with you. if you are still interested in having the work done, could you please call me on my cell at 859-835-9838. Thank you in advance! Teresa

Even though the paint I purchased was supposed to cover in one coat he actually had to put a second coat on. I am very happy the way my bathroom looks.

I confirmed a day in advance that Rodney would be here for our scheduled appointment - he never showed up and never reached out to me with an explanation on the day of. I would never hire this guy again for anything - he's completely unprofessional.
