It went okay. The fan worked out fine, but the ceiling wasn't done as well as I would've liked. He took a shortcut, so the workmanship wasn't done as well as it could've been.

Just getting around now to finally writing a review. Stephen is great! He is my one and only handyman. Before finding him, I tried a few others and was consistently disappointed. Stephen is responsive, reliable, and seems to be able to fix absolutely anything. He is respectful and tidy and treats even the smallest job as important. I never feel like he's being judgmental about my inability to do the things put on his list, and I always come away feeling like the fee I pay him is money very well spent.

"Thank you! Member has a great labrador, too!"

Very well. The gutter cleaning was completed safely and well within the quoted time and was done with courtesy, care and attention to detail.

Really well! I'm very impressed. We had put this off for years, thinking our shower could never be fully restored. After just a few hours, he had it looking so much better! Now, it's in great shape, presentable once again for our family/visitors to use. Bummed that I didn't take a before/after picture as the difference is remarkable!
Response from Rent A Husband
"Thank you! His wife actually installed the tile, and she did such a great job on her grout lines that I had to remove unnecessary silicone caulk that was collecting mold and yellowing, exposing the tight, strong grout underneath! Really a pleasant surprise."

Stephen Granger assured both my husband and myself that he had done this kind of work in the past. The work that he did lacked the craftsmanship that one would expect. He was here for 2days the work is not completed and the cost was $690 dollars. The sad part is that we now have to hire another contractor to redo the work that was done and finish the job. Stephen is probably good doing odd jobs but taping and mudding he is not.
Response from Rent A Husband
"This review surprises me, as I had no comment from them. Taping requires a minimum of two coats, usually three. All of the joints were done as requested to two coats. The finish coat would have required a third day, and that was not hired. I did not ask the member if he was familiar with taping, how many layers it requires, and the time involved for drying between coats. The member may not have this experience."

I sent several emails and he responded once with a date that didn't work and then never responded after that. Angie's List processed a refund on 4/18/17.
Response from Rent A Husband
"I can't force Angie's List coupon members to leave their phone number on their acceptance page, so continuing a conversation for scheduling can get lost in the emails I get. Hers did. I am trying to get Angie's List to upgrade their procedures---these dropped emails result in bad reviews. Thank you! Stephen"

Stephen replaced the exhaust fan in our bathroom that was a bit of a project - it really was a two person job, but being alone he had to go back and forth a few times stretching out the time used, but he completed the install more than satisfactorily, and then put an indoor outlet in for us...we also wanted an outdoor outlet installed but since the exhaust fan took so long Stephen had used the time he had allotted and had to leave, but we are certain he will come back soon to finish up...

Good.. Looks great! I didn't anticipate it taking as long as it did and it went over by 2 hours.. So it cost more than I originally had planned. But it looked great and I'm very happy with the result.

It went well. I knew there would have to be some parts purchased because the door need to be removed. He was pretty productive while he was here. He was really focused on the work and did a good job. He was late, he did call but it was traffic related.

The work was done as I wanted, and i must note that it was completed with hardly a trace of dirt in places it didn't belong. He also found a nest of bees I was unaware of and removed a decorative fence that was past its prime.

Wonderful. I am handicapped and Steve arrived, understood what I needed and got right to work. He checked with me periodically to make sure everything was placed correctly (it was), fast, efficient and very neat.

I have paid $75 for service, but have not been contacted in response to suggested service dates, have not recieved a response to emails sent to provider. I would like my Money back.
Response from Rent A Husband
"I believe I emailed the member to call me to arrange a schedule, as she did not include it on her purchase profile. Emails are day-sensitive; if I don't catch it on its inbound, it gets lost very quickly. Voice mail is much more reliable. I will honor the member'[Member Information Removed] purchase if she will call me at 612.237.7003. Thank you. Stephen"

He never responded to three emails I sent to set up a time over two week period.
Response from Rent A Husband
"I asked the member to call me on the first email on 3/21/17, as she did not include her phone number on her purchase profile. I will honor the member's purchase if she will call me at 612.237.7003 so i can schedule her."

Stephen used a grout saw to remove the darker grout, which brightened it up immediately. It was 3 hours of dusty, noisy work, and he vacuumed the bathroom when he was done. Very professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and hard-working. He called to say he was running 25 minutes behind, which wasn't a problem for me.
