They had to actually take out some tile that had been there for many years, lower a towel rack that was attached to the tile and opening up the wall to add reinforcements because the grab-bar needed to be solid. They closed everything up, added new tile and paint. There was a slight issue at the beginning, but they rectified everything and finished with amazing work. They went out of their way to make sure I was happy with both the work and the price.

Brilliantly. Alex was early, polite, meticulous, and super skilled. The repair job he did on the door, frame and surrounding walls (caused by elderly father's wheelchair) was miraculous. Far exceeded my expectations. And the work in the bathrooms made them look new. I would rehire him/JW in a heartbeat.

An estimator arrived to spot the jobs and put an estimate of time for completion. I won't go through every item but suffice it to say that I found it frustrating to hear for most jobs that the company would not do that particular work. In addition, the jobs they would do had what seemed unrealistic time frames, for example, 6-8 hrs to replace a toilet flush valve. The company has a very strict set of policies that made it difficult to use my $402 for a 6hrs deal. Time and again, the cost estimate was fuzzy or would have exceeded the deal. If work exceeded what the deal provided, hourly charges applied that seemed too expensive and the worker's paid time included trips to a store to purchase supplies which would be added to the bill. Overall, the deal felt like a come-on. If I had continued, the chance was very likely that I would have needed to spend considerably more than the deal. Having lost faith in the company, I canceled.
Description of Work: A list of minor items like repair broken window glass, install connector between water pipe and refrigerator, replace flush valve and flapper in toilet, and install light fixture in kitchen ceiling.

I called Angie and got my money back. I cancelled the bait and switch deal.
Description of Work: I signed up for this deal: 3 hours of caulking for $149. I called for an appointment and they wanted to make a special visit to do an estimate. I told them I did not want an estimate, I wanted 3 hours of caulking for $149. Period. They would not come to honor the deal without a special visit for an estimate.

They were wonderful in terms of the pre-work service, but my condo association would not allow the balcony repainting because I was only renting. They claimed that the owner had to order the work and there were condo limitation on the work. Finally, no work got done and I was refunded all deposits.

It did not go. The company is irresponsible and should not be engaged for service. They did not respond to my scheduling requests.
Description of Work: I bought the 3 hours of Handyman service for $149 and paid a third down. The company emailed me to schedule a time and asked for 3 choices, which I gave them, all around the beginning of July. Have you heard from them since? I have not!

I have been happy with them, although they do not do free estimates. If you buy the deal from them through Angie's List, there is no estimate fee up front. They have been good for small handyman work and a few other services. I think they are more than capable for large projects, as they have quite a few teams.

Great! I should have done this a year ago!
Description of Work: A bunch of basic stuff around the house (toilet repairs, door latching repair, outside faucet replacement, caulking, priming/painting, sealing). The guy who came to the house (Chris Brown) did an amazing job of knocking out almost all the items on the list (many more than the estimator had anticipated), which was a great surprise! Thanks Chris!!!

They have not responded to my emails requesting service. They have been paid, but have not contacted me to schedule service (other than the estimate). I am hopeful that they will get back to me this week so that we can wrap this up. I understand why they offer a deal for a specific service so that they can establish a relationship, but so far, this relationship is not going well!
Description of Work: I have some rotted wood around my front door - I bought a deal to get that fixed. The company came back with a laundry list of repairs - about $3500 of work, but I would like to have the original repair completed before I hire them to do more work.
