I need to have a 4 foot by 4 foot drywall repair completed on my ceiling. I thought I would be able to use 3 of the 1 hour coupons to have the work done - 1st hour to hang / tape / mud the drywall and wait 2 days. 2nd hour to sand the mud and possibly put a second coat of mud and wait 2 days. 3rd hour to sand and prime the repair. Mike answered the phone and let me know it would cost me $720 to perform this repair. The $59 for 1 hour of drywall work only includes a 12 inch by 12 inch repair or smaller. He also seemed resentful of the coupon as refered to the coupon as "Angie getting his money".

Response from City Renovations & Remodeling LLC
I am very sorry this customer didn't understand the coupon. I think his desire to save money clouded is common sense. He waned to get the whole ceiling fixed and painted for 180.00. I gave him fair pricing and an honest estimate to hang a large piece of 5/8th sheetrock which would have taken two people to do, then finish the ceiling and paint. When he was not getting what he wanted he became short on the phone and wanted to end the call. He was actually telling me how to do the work and how much time it should take. I also made him aware he would not use consecutive coupons for the same job. I'm truly sorry we were unable to help this customer. I hope he finds the deal he needs to repair his ceiling. Mike

I used the Angie's List deal for two hours of electrical service. I knew I had more work than the two hours but I spoke to the owner prior to buying the deal and he said it was fine to keep the electrician there beyond the two hours at their normal rate. That was good because I have used two hour deals before that required you schedule a new appointment for another day if the work goes beyond two hours. City Renovations sent over Fletcher to do the work. He showed up on time and we got started. He basically swapped out most of the old electrical outlets in my apartment and replaced a number of light switches with dimmers. He also replaced two ceiling fixtures. Everything went smoothly and I have no complaints. Fletcher is a good guy and very easy to work with. The owner and project manager also happened to stop by, which is pretty unusual for a small project, so it was nice to talk with them briefly.

Work went well. The Contractor arrived at the site as scheduled and performed admirably working directly with the tenant and only conferring with me as needed. Extensive repairs were required and the estimate was adhered to even after finding special challenges.The contractor left the work area clean and neat. I was very pleased with the work and would highly recommend the Contractor.
Description of Work: Repaired roof and created access to roof from interior of apartment. Also replaced faulty slate and provide lifetime warranty. It took about four days to complete the job and it was well done.

Excellent. In addition to the painter mike sent a project manager to oversee work being done. Everything ran smoothly and ceiling looks like new. In addition, to allow paint to dry ,I had them purchase 2outdoor fixtiures with sensors and install in font and back of house. They were a dream to work with and high on my list to be used again I spring for deck repair.

A representative came out to review the work needed. Someone was supposed to perform the work on Thursday of that week. No one showed up and there was no phone call. I'm foggy on dates so I can't give you the exact date of each contact. I contacted the company and the rep. asked me to call him late evening. I forgot to call and I've heard nothing since.

I have to say that I'm sorry for this slip up. I've checked my calendar, emails and my contacts and she is not listed. I need to speak to this customer to clear up the confusion. I have no record of any communications with her or the visit. I remember her calling me during he day when I was in my truck and I told her to call me later that night so that I could discuss her project but she never did. I called 411 to find her number and she is not listed. She said I did the job (checked on the review) but we didn't That has to be changed. [removed member name] if you read this review, please give me a call so that we can at least talk and clarify the problem I will be in touch with customer service to try to get a phone number to reach you.

I purchased the windows weatherization service on 1/7/2014, for which I paid by credit card on Angies website ($167- Windows-1051231-1). We scheduled the work to be done in two steps (first a visit to determine where the heat is being lost, and a final visit to actually do the work). On the phone, I was told for the first time that materials (silicone) for the weathering was an extra charge. In any event, the service provider NEVER showed up or called to let me know he would not show up at the appointed time, and the service was NEVER performed. At this point, I feel I need to cancel and get a full refund. Thanks for letting me know how to proceed going forward.

[member name removed], I hope this email finds you in good spirits, health and out of the cold. Let me first apologize for dropping the ball on your winterization project. There is no one to blame but me. Now I would like to schedule the inspections, regardless of the refund that you did with Angie’s List. If you paid for a coupon you wanted the work. Let’s work together to get you what you paid for. We want to be off assistance to you. As an added bonus, we will cover the caulk. The deal was structure so badly that the details was loose by suggestions of Angie’s list. None-the-less, blaming is not what you want. You want your windows estimate and caulked. Give me a call and we will get you rolling. And again, I could give you every excuse in the world, but that’s my world is not problem. I dropped the ball and now I want to pick it up. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Mike 301-254-7467

Mike was able to schedule it fairly quickly, and his employees who did the work were efficient and thorough, and they cleaned up the old caulk they removed from the windows, leaving our property clean. I was pleased with the result.
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's List Deal for $149 for winterization/caulking windows (up to 12 windows total). After purchasing the deal, I reached out to Mike Wiggs, and we scheduled for him to come out to assess the work soon afterward. There was an additional cost of $300 for several items not included in the deal: (1) adding a 13th window, (2) removing existing caulk before recaulking, and (3) charges for four "windows above height" on the second floor of our house. We contracted for City Renovations & Remodeling to do this work.

It went okay even thought I was a little disappointed to find out the work could not be done on our home. Mr. Wiggs was very informative and courteous. Other information was offered at the time the contractor came, however we decided we did not want to do any other work at this time. I rated it a B only because we did not have anything done.

City Renovations and Remodeling promptly contacted me about the service I requested. They were polite and thorough. CR & R provided an electrician named Fletcher who was courteous, prompt and efficient. He worked independently and got the job done in the allotted time so there was no additional charge. Fletcher is very professional and obviously knows what he's doing. It was a job well done all around.

I can't tell what work was done because it was outside chalking to windows. The service was done when no one was home so I can't verify that it was done. Mike was very nice when I finally met him but still, the cost was too much and my daughter still does not see a difference in climate change.

Response from City Renovations & Remodeling LLC
I understand your frustrations completely. I guess I was not totally clear on that this prosess may or may not result resolving her concerns. We are in a cold season now and many of us think that caulking is the catch all for the cold air coming into the windows or the home. In most cases the caulk is the first line of defense to cold air and water in an aging home. There are many other factors surrounding air lose, poor insulation, poor window installations, and the windows themselves. We did the project that was ordered within the coupon limitations. I will happily offer an additional service valued at 425.00 at no cost to the customer to see exactly were the air lose is occurring. Its a new product that we've invested in called Infra Red Thurmograms. As to the increased pricing- the coupon has it limitations. Windows above a certain height will be more and the cost of the caulk was extra. My apologies to this member if I was not clear in my walk through and detailed explanations of the project. If the customer wants me to come by and inspect this project I will be more than happy to give an inspections and touch-up at no additions cost. A happy customer is our best customer. Mike,

I purchased the Big Deal for 2 hours of electrical labor. I was contacted in a timely manner. I needed to have a range hood hardwired. The vendor was unclear as to whether this could be covered under the Big Deal that I had purchased. After several conversations, I decided that this purchase was not working for me. I used another local electrician to do the work for roughly the same price. I think that this vendor does good work. They just need to be more specific about what is covered in their offers. The job that I needed was completed in well under 2 hours and should have easily been covered under the terms of the Big Deal. I have requested a refund.

The contractor provided two painters for a day. They painted the enitre day and worked hard (someone was home as a casual observer). Both rooms are appoximately 11x12 in size. The reason for the B-grade in Quality was that the lines were not as clean as they should be from the wall to the ceiling and/or trim. This issue was not pervasive but yet noticeable in some areas. Coverage was spotty in some areas but that is likely due to the nature of using a darkish color which requires more paint....and these guys indeed worked a full day so it is not an issue with the contractor. I fixed any issues myself, no biggie. The rooms look GREAT!
Description of Work: Painted two rooms - the foyer and kitchen. Painted the ceiling, walls, and trim. Used "ceiling white" for ceiling; "trim white" for trim; and the walls in each room were painted with a single color (moderately dark colors).

Everything went well for the most part. He promptly emailed an estimate to me after walking around the house, he showed up on time, and he did a quality job. However, I ended up paying more for the service because I had some windows that were above his height threshold, and I wish that this would have been clearly stipulated in the deal's fine print.

When he arrived, I had to ask him if he was going to look at the windows. He looked and said that I probably needed new windows. That was the end of the conversation, because I did not intend to purchase windows. I think his advertising is a switch and bait scheme to get people to purchase windows. I feel that if he was going to look at the windows to see if they need caulking, I would not have had to prompt him and ask him if he was going to take a look at the windows.

WOW! I literally came to her home against her request to see the job. Its true I went to the customers home. Knocked on the door and was stopped immediately at the door. I'm usually invited in for a consultation. I was a little surprised about the abruptness The house had siding with original windows. We reviewed the windows from outside. I informed her that the Windows don't need caulking and that her drafts are do to poor insulation and other leaks. I did suggest windows and offered a free thermal scan of the interior to show her where the leaks are. she didn't let me in and said I'm not buying windows I'll just turn the heat up higher, Good by. I didn't have a chance to speak after that. A little rude but...

I counted more than 100 letters in this dissenting complaint and, estimated 5 minutes on line to generate this review. If this customer dialed 10 numbers and took 2 minutes to make a friendly reminder or follow-up, the job would have been scheduled and done. That's all that was needed. I simply overlooked this project. No malice, just human. After all, is the job the point or this; needless emails & responses.

Was estimated much higher than expected, paid less in the past for the same type of drywall work. Company would only honor $100 off the estimated project total whereas, I paid $139 for the Big Deal. More expensive than I am wanting to pay, so will seek out a cheaper alternative.

Went very well. Reviewed windows in need of winterizing. Once located, immediately corrected. Was neat, and cleaned up. Then I showed several other problems I am experiencing. He immediately analyzed and came up with a plan to correct. Reasonable quote. Very professional and Michael is a nice guy.
Description of Work: Checking my windows. Did caulking of windows as needed. Extremely professional and confident. I showed additional concern I have around my house. Contractor had state of the art equipment to look at problem, such as a potential leak. He could look at per cent of moisture in ceiling. Could identify exact area of problem, without cutting into ceiling.
