The service went well, t=someone called me the day before the men were coming, they were on time. The workers were a bit confused at first, but otherwise the job was done to satisfaction. Will use again.

This was an Angie's List 4 hrs for $99. masonry task.
First visit was pleasant, concise, with a complete evaluation of what work was required.  We agreed it was a small job, and he asked to fit the job in around his backlogged schedule, due to weather restrictions.  We stayed in good email and phone contact while we tried to schedule around rain and snow.  When they finally came, it was ontime, ready to work, they were precise, no surrounding areas were damaged, the area was cleaned up, and I tipped them for good service.  I was glad to wait for the contractor with good references from Angie's List. 

Very well

I had two appointments canceled by them. I contacted Angie's List for a refund.

I have left multiple messages over the past few days with no response. I contacted Angie's List for assistance.

When I had the 1st mtg with the owner he scoped the work and insisted it would take beyond the 4 hrs I paid for ($125) and I'd have to pay another $90/hr.  Then we talked about the work I need done in my kitchen.  I provided my email address and asked him to provide a written estimate.  Still haven't received, and no longer interested.
The two men who can out did good job were efficient with their time.  After the men completed the work on my walls the owner called and said I'd have to pay for the additional time.  I stated they showed up at 8:50am and left at 11:15am, well under the 4hrs.

Just OK fro the price paid.

Bait and switch "big deal."  Although they promised one room of paint, they only agreed to do half a room becuase the stairwell "is difficult."  They also wanted to charge extra to do two coats.  Finally, it was unclear throughout the process how scheduling worked, and I was shocked to get a phone call one night asking if they could come the next day--despite having told them ahead of time that I'd need advance notice to take time off work.
The half a room they painted looks great, but the entire enterprise felt shady and completely lacked professionalism.  On the other hand, if you want a job done right and done cheap, they did deliver.

Excellent

. rkThis was a $99 coupon that advertised 1 man for 4 hours  or 2 men for two hours. Mr. Gomez, the owner came on January 16 to survey the scope of what needed to be done and said that he would call me early the next week to set a time for the repair. He did not call so I called him at the end of the week. He said it was too cold to work and that he would wait for warmer weather. A week or so later when warmer weather arrived, I called him and he said that I was on his list and that he would call soon. The call never came. On Saturday, February 16, one month to the day since he first came out, I called again and he assured me that i was on the list and he would call early the following week to set a date. The call never came.

On March 8, I got a call from my wife while I was at work saying that workmen were at the house. She said they had called but neither she nor I ever received a call alerting us that they planned to come. If I had gotten a call, I would have stayed home and watched them do the work to make sure that they filled in all the chips. As it turned out, they missed one of the chippped blocks.

In summary, this was a very small job that did not require a lot of expertise. However, i felt that the contractor did not pay attention to the importance of just basic communication. Frankly, I began to think that he wasn't going to bother to do the job because it was too small.

I bought a deal from Angie's list for GO Contractors to paint one room of my house. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't have too much trouble getting in touch with someone to set up an appointment. A representative from the company came to my house to examine the bathroom and we made a follow-up appointment to actually have it painted. There was a bit of miscommunication on the company's end about the date they were supposed to come to paint, but the painters still were able to come on the day I wanted. On the day of the job, the painters were a few hours late. The painters were pretty quick but I would only say that they did a fair job. After they left, I actually wound up having to touch up a few places myself where they weren't too thorough. Based on that, I don't think I'll be using them again. 

Very well.

Angie's List had to locate a different painter who was in the area.  Although communication was a slight problem the contractor got back to me promptly and we negotiated a time for an estimate and the date for painting. They were very accommodating.  They said they would arrive at 1 pm, they were on time and did a professional job.

Mr. Gomez was very difficult to work with.  After purchasing the Big Deal ($125 for 4 hours of plaster/drywall repair or 1 room of paint), I emailed to get an appointment.  He ignored the dates I said I had available, so we had to back and forth a few times before he scheduled me in at a time when we'd be home.  He gave me an hour's window for his possible arrival, and when that hour was up, I had to both call and email to find out if he was going to show up.  When he arrived, he had no explanation for not coming in the hour time slot he'd given.  He looked at the wall, we agreed on how extensive the separation was, he told me he'd send two guys, that we'd need 1/2 inch drywall, and that his guys would bring the joint compound (included in the price of the coupon).  I showed him the joint compound we already had, as well as stating we'd have the drywall, we agreed he'd email me about scheduling the actual job, and he left.
A full week later I emailed him to ask if he intended to schedule our job, giving him the days and times of our availability for scheduling; again, he completely ignored our availability.  We finally worked out a date, and his email stated that he'd send two guys and that "I will send two men for two hours if they need more time for finish for each person is $90.00 by hour."  The coupon states that the price is good for 4 consecutive man hours, and as it wasn't more than a four-hour job, I didn't think it was an issue.  Buyer beware: apparently 4 man hours means ONE MAN.  Angie's List and/or the Big Deal coupon is not clear about this, which is very frustrating.
The two men showed up today, within the hour window Mr. Gomez had given for arrival and were very polite and professional.  They did a great job.  Unfortunately, they used half the drywall we had on hand, and refused to use our joint compound, and then after talking to Mr. Gomez on the phone, charged me for an entire sheet of drywall and joint compound, as well as telling me I owed $180 in cash for the extra guy.  I speak Spanish, and the guy who talked to Mr. Gomez asked if he was sure he needed to charge me for extra time!  I then double-checked the coupon for the hour limit (they started at 8:35 and were done at 12:15), and was so taken aback by the additional charges and the phone conversation I heard that I paid for the drywall and joint compound.  As I couldn't make sense of the four hour/two hour/extra man thing, I have not paid the extra $180 that Mr. Gomez wants to charge for the work.  I did tell him I would call AL to try to figure out what happened with the coupon; it seems that with the extra man charge and the charge for the materials that were supposedly included, he'll get close to the full price that was quoted in the Big Deal ($360).
I am really happy with the work, but very unhappy with my Big Deal experience and Mr. Gomez,

Mr. Gomez's crew did impeccable work.
They had to chip out the old, spalled brick and work new brick into it. The new bricks did not precisely match the old brick, but that is of little consequence since the areas involved are hidden from view. It may be that time will age the facings to match.
In addition, I cannot see exactly where they repointed the rest of the bricks, meaning they did a terrific job matching the concrete.

The workers came on time, performed the service to my satisfaction, and cleaned up. Great job!

Do get pictures of the areas to be repaired
Do get pictures of the areas after the repairs are completed (especially if you can't see them from the ground or if you are not home when the work is done).

My husband took off work the day they were scheduled to come. They called and cancelled. They have never rescheduled. Not a good deal.

Kept trying to turn it into a bigger job. I just wanted him to fix a couple bricks on my front step and he said he couldn't do it. He wanted to redo the entire thing for $1000. Was clearly just trying to make more money.

We just wanted to fix a couple bricks. It felt like he just wanted to sell us on bigger services. It took a while, probably a couple weeks to send his crew.
The quality of the work was fine.

The company was completely unresponsive and it made me very skeptical about Angie's Specials.

GO Contracting did not perform any services, just an estimate and that was outrageous.

Good

They advertised a $99 special, we signed up and charged it and despite multiple efforts never heard from the company.

The workers arrived on time and they were very professional.
