Rent A Husband

"Thank you."

"The odd patches were not noted by the member as exception areas to be addressed when she declared the room ready for painting. I think a previous painting had test areas that may have been done with a satin or semi-gloss material, causing the wall not to absorb paint as it normally would have done. The member did not review the finished work with me, so I did not learn of this problem until her post."

"Thank you."

"I always ask the member to inspect the work completed to be accurate on the requested labor. If the work needs explaining, or extra work needs doing now to save the cost of a return trip on the same project, then I want the member to learn this."

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you. The bench had more aged wood underneath its planks than could be seen when the initial inspection was made, and required more installation engineering than normal."

"This was the most quiet, gracefully designed fan I have put in! I thoroughly enjoyed doing it!"

"Thank you."

"This member bought a Big Deal coupon last fall for her son, and even though it had expired, I still honor them."

"Thank you."

"The member dug in and got his hands 'dirty' when I needed the help. Saved some time. Thank you. J***! Stephen"

"Glad to help the member through her "to do"/ "what's next?" list"

"The member was putting her house back together after her daughter and grandchildren moved into their new house. She was very relieved to have her items repaired beyond future damage at the next visit!"

"Exquisite house!"

"The member has the best bi-fold doors I've ever worked on---7' high on strong swing supports and solid wood using 4 hinges. Except the hinge screws were too short for the load, and pulled out. The customer was very helpful in getting the job done, as these heavy doors needed an extra hand to back up the bi-folds while I was putting in the longer screws. I would go there again."

"The member's breadboard tracks had come apart, and if there's anything in a kitchen that can make a house a home, it's a breadboard. Glad to fix it for her, along with other plumbing projects."

"The member is a do-it-herselfer, who is always enjoyable to work with. She just didn't have some of the tools needed for her project, particularly the pendant light. I would work for her again."

"The sash windows with counterweights required one side of trim to be removed to exit the window from the frame. A metal glide had to be removed. One window's counterweights had attic insulation in the bottom of the weight chamber, preventing the weight from dropping completely. This required vacuuming, something that could not be foreseen on the time budget, as well as adjusting the counterweight rope. Since both windows were covered by the radiator, both had to be cleaned the same way, making a time update too difficult to estimate. As a compensation, I put the birdbath on its pedastal. This is the second job I have done for this customer, and would work for her again."

"The member gave a general request to replace a shower spout he was having trouble with, and I quoted the job unseen. When I was able to examine the job directly, the spout pipe needed to be replaced, as it was damaged by his efforts. What could have been a half-hour job necessitated a whole house water shut-off, due to the shower cartridge's leaking, draining the system enough, de-soldering, re-soldering, and final testing. This became a three hour job at $33/hour, plus materials and travel charge after 5:00 pm."

"It was one of the first warm days of spring, and the garage door opened east! A really pleasant job to have. Thank you!!"

"The member requested a capped charge, indicating her funds were tight, so I kept the work focused on that. I try to save the customer money on every point."
