I had a very good experience with metro home maintenance. The service from both those answering the the phone and those who came to do the work was very helpful and responsive, and quick to address and questions or concerns I had. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Installed one exterior and one interior light fixture, installed two outdoor electrical outlets, put a new closer on a screen door, cleaned central air unit, cleaned coils on refrigerator, repaired a swinging door, installed a doorbell button, fixed a kitchen drawer that didn't work properly, adjusted and tightened kitchen cabinet hinges, and a few other things I can't remember now.

Outstanding service. The phone service was excellent. Knowledgeable and helpful phone staff. When the work was done, I expressed concern that it had taken considerably longer than estimated. I called to ask about it and was told they would look into it. The next day, I got a call from the manager asking what I thought was reasonable. He knocked a full two hours off the bill.

Chris and Dave were consummate professionals. They arrived on time and worked diligently for 7-1/2 hours. Both performed high quality work in an organized way -- beginning with the upstairs and ending with the basement. Chris and Dave were polite, friendly, and patient. They purchased the necessary hardware, which saved me time from doing this task. I would highly recommend Metro Home Maintenance, and Chris and Dave, to everyone. I rate the company A++! You can't get any better than perfection.
Description of Work: Metro Home Maintenance did a variety of services: hung several pictures, installed seven new light fixtures, and did electrical and plumbing repairs.

Excellent experience with this company, though I have no basis for compairson on the price. The work was done over two days. The gentleman who came to our house was apologetic that his repairs over the damage didn't quite match the rest of the living room celing, but in reality, the match is unbelievable! Our cleaning lady commented as soon as she walked in that she couldn't even tell. I felt the work was well and professionally done and will be hiring these people again for odd jobs. They seem to do everything. Oh--and garage door keypad works fine now too.
Description of Work: I had two holes about 10'' x 10'' or so in my living room ceiling from having had plumbing work done, and also a strip of water damage with plaster hanging off about 24'' long and a couple on inches wide. The company repaired the holes and went over the ceiling area with texturizer. Also, comletely unrelated, I asked them to get my garage door keypad working again. Replacing the battery, resetting the thing, etc. is a task I dread having to try to do every several years.

The two workers that came to my house to do the work were really friendly and respectful. They were in my house on three days to complete this work. They were very accommodating to my schedule and price that I wanted to pay. They initially quoted $2900 - I stated that the insurance companies estimated the work to be 2600 and they dropped the price to match.
Description of Work: They repaired the wall in my garage the obtained long term water damage - included rebuilding the wall and adding new drywall to the wall and ceiling. Also repair interior wall and repainted.

Our initial contact with the company was very favorable. They responded promptly and John W. came to our home for an appointment in less than a week. We were told that, due to their current work volume, we wouldn't receive a formal estimate for 3-4 weeks. However, it has been two months since our initial appointment, and we still have received neither an estimate nor any indication of when to expect one.
Description of Work: We contacted the company for an estimate to install a dishwasher. The project involved running new electrical wiring, modifying the plumbing under our sink, and modifying our existing cabinetry to accommodate the new appliance.

WE CONTACTED THIS PERSON SEVERAL TIMES WITH FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS ON THE INSTALL ESTIMATE. THEY WERE UNCOOPERATIVE AND RUDE AT EACH CONTACT. THEY WERE INFORMED WE NEEDED MORE INFORMATION TO COMPLETE THE QUOTE AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION, NOR DURING THE VISIT WOULD THEY ALLOW US ACCESS TO THE BASEMENT, SO THE ELECTRICAL COULD BE ESTIMATED. THEY WERE TOLD IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE WITHOUT THE INFORMATION AND ACCESS. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CUSTOMER WAS PRICE SHOPPING AND NOT SERIOUS ABOUT DOING ANY WORK. OUR COMPANY WOULD GIVE THIS CUSTOMER AN ANGIE'S LIST RATING OF F AND PREFER NOT TO DEAL WITH THEM AGAIN.

Dino arrived early, but called us and patiently waited for us as we drove back to the house. He completed work efficiently and since they charge for a minimum of one hour's worth of work, offered to work on something else since he finished before an hour was through. He showed us how to repair the problem should it happen again. Overall, a great experience, if slightly pricey. We'd definitely hire them again.

Deano completed all work in 13 hours which was much quicker than expected. His work is not only precise but also beautiful. He completed some finish work on the post of the stair rail that made a dramatic improvement to the entry area. Very professional and great to work with. I'm already planning to work with Metro and Deano again.
Description of Work: Installed front storm door, base trim to large front hall, bathroom, and bathroom door. Finished detail carpentry on front hall stair rail, cut and installed three difficult pieces of ceramic tile near front hall stairs, switched two kitchen cabinets to new positions and reinstalled exhaust fan, hung two ceiling fans in bedrooms, installed bifold door in bedroom, hung roman blinds in living room, and installed Georgian shutters in dining room and kitchen.

The visit was scheduled for almost two weeks later, and then called and resceduled for later than that. When he finally came out he seemed very knowledgable and competent. After a little over a week we still hadn't gotten the bid. I called twice to find out. Finally I got a call and was informed that there was an email problem and the work would be about $350. That seemed low for the large amount of work that we wanted done, so I wondered if what work it did include. I never got any written bid, and they never contacted me again. I guess they don't want/can't handle our business.

WE DO NOT HAVE THIS MEMBER LISTED AS A CUSTOMER. IF THIS IS THE JOB WE THINK IT IS, THEY GAVE A DIFFERENT NAME WHEN SCHEDULING. THEY WERE TOLD AT THE TIME OF THE APPOINTMENT, IT WAS SEVERAL WEEKS OUT ON SCHEDULING ESTIMATES. THEY KNEW THAT DELAY AND ACCEPTED THIS. THEY GAVE AN INCORRECT E-MAIL FOR THE QUOTE, WE SENT IT OUT VIA MAIL, AND FINALLY DID GET A CORRECT E-MAIL ADDRESS AND SENT OUT THE QUOTE THAT WAY AS WELL. THE QUOTE IS FOR $328 ON THE WORK, AS WE STAND BEHIND OUR QUOTES. THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CLEAR ON WHAT THEY WANT TO HAVE DONE OR WHAT THEY EXPECT. IT IS NOT THAT WE DO NOT WANT OR CAN NOT HANDLE THE WORK, BUT IF THE CUSTOMER WILL NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS OR GIVE ACCURATE INFORMATION, COMMUNICATION IS NOT EASILY POSSIBLE. WE WOULD GRADE THIS CUSTOMER AS AN D-/F.

Everyone at Metro Home Maintenance was wonderful to deal with. They returned my calls/email promptly and confirmed appointments ahead of time. I was a little disappointed in the quality of the work, but would likely hire the company again (knowing I should more carefully inspect the "finished" work before they depart). For example, a couple pieces were not installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, and minor shortcuts seemed to be taken (i.e., brackets requiring four installation screws were put up with only two each, resulting in noticeably unstable installation). All in all, a good (not great) experience.
Description of Work: Job consisted of installation of two storm doors.

Lane, the handyman, was very polite & kept the workplace clean. However, I felt he was a slow worker. The arrangement was that I would have the new door & the new screening onsite so that I would not be charged for the time involved in having someone from Metro Home Maintenance go to Home Depot. However, Lane's truck was poorly stocked so he had to go to Home Depot anyway to get screws & razor blades! That seems unfair & unprofessional on the company's part. Also, he was 10 minutes late (not a big deal since he called me) but I still got charged as though he were there on time. Also, when the job was finished the hourly rate timer should have stopped- but I was charged for the 30 minutes that it took him to fill out the bill! Adding the late arrival, the trip to Home Depot, & the time to fill out the bill meant that I was charged for an extra 70 minutes. At $60/hour that adds up.

This was the first time I have ever used a home maintenance/handyman service. I was very impressed and will certainly call them again. Mark was not only easy to work with, but he was quick, detail oriented and neat. I have an older house, and Mark turned out to be a clever problem solver. Even making my appointment with the office was easy. Elaine was friendly, capable and very confident that they could successfully tackle whatever job I had for them. I recommend giving them a call.

It is hard to correct a bad first impression. The owner, Mark Cady, did a great job of that. He stepped up to the plate and admitted they had made an error and did everything in his power to make it right. The ratings I am listing are for the follow up service, not the initial call. It is unfair to rate based on an employee who did a poor job.
Description of Work: Metro Home was hired to install a new screen door. The first experience was a nightmare - the installer was 70 minutes late, did not know how to install the door, and cut the header wrong so it needed to re-ordered (special order door). He needed to leave the job to go buy a saw to install the rest of the door and to reorder the header. Menards is approx 3 miles from my house, and he did not return for over an hour. I received a call immediately after this from the owner of the company apologizing for everything that happened. He came to my house to complete the install. He picked up the part at Menards, was at my home earlier than scheduled (yippeee), cut the price of the bill and offered to do some odd jobs for free due to the problems with the first visit. He totally turned everything around.
