Howie did a great job from beginning to end. He contacted me quickly when I first requested help through Angi. Howie then came to my place, looked at everything I wanted done and then got back to me with a quote. Because I had an assortment of small jobs to be done including hanging curtain rods, shelving, installing a blind and a curio cabinet, I wasn't sure if Howie would take on my jobs, since I know he also does much larger home renovation jobs. I was grateful that he did. His price per hour was right in line with prices of other handymen that also gave me quotes. Howie completed all the jobs I wanted done in approximately 5 hours as he estimated. He worked consistently, professionally and thoroughly. He asked me questions all along the way as he worked about each project as to height, how I would be using the items etc. Howie also cleaned up all packaging materials, and even vacuumed when there was dust after drilling. I am very pleased with the work Howie did for me. He was very polite and cordial but didn't miss a beat doing each job. I would highly recommend him for all the reasons I mentioned above. It can be an overwhelming job when you don't know who to hire for work around your home especially someone you have never hired before. I put off doing this for months just because of my hesitation. I feel very fortunate that I was able to hire Howie after contacting Angi. I would highly recommend Howie for small and large home renovation jobs and renovations.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"Sue had all the items required for the installation, which made installation more efficient. There was a challenge of wall mounting a single curio cabinet which was actually made for a combination unit. Prior to install I purchased various method of installation hangers, as I was not sure which would work the best. This was I was able to select the best method. Install was perfect."

PROFESSIONAL, detailed explanation of work, on time, attention to detail exceptional. After my acceptance of the proposal Howie suggested an alternative less intrusive method of accomplishing work resulting in less cost to me.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"The homeowner is a great customer to work for. After I started the project, I reevaluated the situation. I was able to modify my original plan to solve his issue saving time and therefore customer money. I would definitely work for him in the future."

Howie and his team are exceptional in every way. He was always on time, kept in contact with me and went above and beyond in all aspects of the project. In addition to this major project, he also helped with some small home repairs. No project is too large or too small for Howie Simons.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"Thank you very much. I really enjoyed working on multiple projects for you. Simons Brothers offed all services to complete the projects. This customer had major flooding issues in a ranch house. We designed and built an exterior underground drain system around the house and new gutters feeding a central underground leaching vessel, regraded, covered with soil, and seeded. After that sections of the interior rooms were gutted, new windows, insulation, plaster, paint, trim, ect. Then made a plumbing repair, slider repair, smoke detectors. I would always help Jean if she has any issues or general questions for me in the future. Great customer!!"

I highly recommend Howie for any home improvement project, big or small. He is very honest and his invoices reasonable (within the quotes furnished). I had two sliding doors in my sunroom that were out of code, because they were 2 feet above ground with no built-in step down, and two other sliding doors that were not closing properly due to the door frames sagging over time. I had four contractors provide me with quotes. Three of which involved either replacing all the sliding doors, extending our deck, and/or building stairs, and they ranged from $13,500 - $18,500. Howieâ  s solution was unique, likely because of his engineering background. We didnâ  t have to replace any of the sliding doors or build anything, which saved me at least $10,000. I also have used Howie for smaller jobs, which is extremely fortunate, because it is very difficult to find a contractor willing to do such work.

I hired Howie to relocate my laundry hook-up. He responded to my request to quote the project in an extremely timely fashion, quoted me fairly and was able to set up a time to complete the project within the week. He was fair, respectful of my time and my home and he did excellent work. I am so glad we were able to work together!

I hired Howie Simons to hang a variety of large and small items at our company's office. Howie did a great job scoping the work and providing a proposal. He completed the job in a timely fashion and his work was top notch! He is neat and organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him for any job small or large.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"Kate is a very efficient person and we worked well together. After Kate showed me the scope of work, I was able to figure out all the details of locations. All items had different mounting heights. Kate and I were able to meet in a very short time after the initial phone discussion, then scheduled the work for the next day. I would do more work for Kate in the future."

Simons Brothers INC were prompt, courteous and professional. Howie Simons communicated and answered all of my questions throughout the project. He kept me updated with texts and pictures. I would highly recommend Simons Brothers and will gladly seek them out for future home construction or repair projects.

"Thank you for your feedback. I am glad I was able to repair the exterior trim issue and identify/repair and replace the rotted sheathing before it became a major issue for you."

I wholeheartedly enjoyed my recent experience of working with Howie Simons. He was reliable, communicative, expressed genuine interest in helping to pulling together a quick good solution for my project, helped carve off unnecessary expenses, was respectul of my home, and completed the work on time, all with a good dose of humor. His colleague Jerry (Gerry?) was also A+. I will definitely call Howie for future projects. I initially called Howie two days before Christmas to see if he could assist with a late-breaking, unexpected request from my insurance company (my husband and I are recent first-time home buyers). The company wanted us to install handrails around our low deck. Howie and I chatted and he said he thought he could take on the work and finish the job within the very short timeframe the insurance company gave me. Once I had a clear idea of what the insurance folks wanted and I had measurements in hand, Howie came by to look at the deck and discuss details. He gave us an estimate that we thought was fair, so work began. It was a 2-day project in total. Howie was great about talking me through the construction process, making some adjustments along the way, and me and my husband are pleased with the completed work. Nice, neat, strong handrails! The insurance company approved the work that was done, so crisis averted! I canâ t thank Howie and Jerry enough!
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"Jennifer is a great person and customer. After discussing the insurance company demand letter, I provided some alternate options by thinking out side of the box a little.By doing this we were able to reduce the scope and the cost while providing a workable solution. The project came out great and I was able to complete the project within her time frame. I was excited to hear that the Jennifer's insurance continued her coverage. While I was working at the house, I also provided some ideas on other projects she was thinking about in the future. I would defiantly work with with her again."

We hired Howie for a full renovation of our kitchen and bathroom. We could not be happier with how everything turned out. Each sub contractor he had come in our home was also very professional and diligent. Howie made sure we were updated on each step of the way and that each task was completed in a timely manner. If you need anything from demolition to cabinet installation, to outside siding then Howie is your guy. Thanks Howie for making this a dream home that you would see on HGTV.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"This project required lots of planning and design. We worked together very well to insure the project continued on schedule. The customer provided appliances, cabinets, and countertop and I provided all other materials and subcontractors as required to complete the project on time. This was the first time they were involved in such a large remodel project. We discussed every detail as the project progress. The project came out great and they gained an education on construction. I would help them with more projects in the future."

I've been partnering up with Howie for years now, since 2006 for a variety of projects, including some basement enhancement work, masonry fixes & most recently, a bathroom remodel. I'm very happy with the pros that Howie brings in - he is very conscious about bringing in reputable, high quality pros. Howie is good about providing me project updates on a daily basis, as well as informing me as to what is upcoming/happening the next day. He shows up on-time, and if he is running late, he will let me know. The accountability is great. What I truly value about Howie is that if I have an idea, I can run it by him & he will help me brainstorm ideas & we can evaluate together what is the right way to go about things. I have learned so much from him, it's great. I already have him "pre-booked" for some additional work on my "country cottage"!

I hired Howie Simons to replace my kitchen and bathroom windows. He was very easy to work with and took the time to explain the process to me each step of the way. The windows look great. I would certainly consider hiring him for another project. He cleans up nicely too.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"Thank you very much for your comments. I enjoyed this project. The window replacement was not a simple one. I had to think out of the box to located the correct windows. The property is a condo with 1970 or earlier vintage windows. The style grids are not available any longer. After researching multiple sources of windows we were able to come as close as possible to the match. I installed modern high performance windows that meet the latest energy specifications. Installation had some little quirks as well. The openings were not square. I had to remove some of the framing and make special cuts to allow correct size an mounting. I was able to do this carefully with put damaging the wall plaster or tile. I was very proud of the finished product. Kate was wonderful to work with and I would work with her in the future."

I hired Simon Brothers to make some repairs to my detached 20x20 garage. I needed 3 different repairs. The sill was rotted in several areas, the concrete foundation in one corner of the garage was crumbling and needed to be repaired, and lastly the area where the garage door meets the ground was uneven. Howie came out, looked at the job and sent me an itemized estimate, just like I asked. He listed out each job and the cost of each. This was the first time hiring Simons Brothers, so there is always a feeling of hesitation but that feeling was gone after the first couple hours of work. He did the work in the time frame he said. He was respectful of the property, cleaned up all the debris after the job was done, and put everything back the way he found it. Details count. Howie does great work and takes pride in it. He even sent a few pictures to show me the progress he had made along the way. He was up front with me and I found him to be fair. I don't normally write reviews but in this case I wanted to. I'm very happy with the work and plan or hiring Simons Brothers for future projects. Thank you Howie.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"Thank you for your kind feedback. I enjoyed working with Kieth. Needed to plan this job out to satisfy multiple issues simultaneously. The repairs made are stronger then the original as built, and will last many many years. As Keith was not present during most of the time, I thought it was important to update him with pics and detail comments along the way as the job progressed. I would work with Keith again for sure."

Howie is reliable, methodical & meticulous. He takes great pride in his work ; with good reason.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"Thank you very much. Jen is a great customer. She and I worked together to make sure the repair was exactly how she wanted it, especially inside the house. She wanted the repair not to be seen in the finished ceiling. So that's what I did. The inspector also liked it. I also added additional water proofing provisions to ensure this issue will never arise again."

Howie was professional from our first phone discussion when he shared his background, desire to fully understand the job in detail and looked for opportunities to pick up supplies and save money by taking some of the effort. Howie did a fast, superb fix, is extremely personable and cleaned up fully. I would recommend Howie to anyone who wants not only a quick fix but a major project and someone they can count on as a partner.

Howie is great. His workmanship is top notch. He is an engineer who is all about fixing things right and at a fair price. He uses high quality materials, much better than the stuff you would get at Lowe's/Home Depot. I highly recommend Howie Simons and plan to use him again.

Excellent work ethical professional and very precise. Mr. Simons cares! He even installed a new dehumidifier, purchased the unit �and the job was complete within a hour! Highly recommend this company.
Response from Simons Brothers, Inc.
"I enjoyed working with Gail. When I arrived, showed me the fogged up double glaze window located in the front entry door, and informed me that a previous contractor said the failing glass could not be repaired only replaced, then provided a very expensive estimate for the new door. Using my experience and troubleshooting skills, I was able to locate a perfect fit and function replaceable double glaze window unit complete with interior and exterior matching molding. We came up with a plan to make the repair. I also helped with a high humidity basement resolution."

Howie is very organized, detail-oriented and communicates very well with straight-forward estimates. His prices are fair, honest and decent. His results are exactly what I hoped for and needed. Howie stepped in to finish a renovation where another company had overcharged me and backed away from their original agreement. Howie is a pleasure to work with, his measurements are extremely precise, and his recommendations make sense and are cost effective. I recommend him to anyone without hesitation. I look forward to requesting his assistance on future projects. I am very grateful for Howie's help
