I'll start with the fact that we were left with no way to bathe in either of our two bathrooms by the time A-1 Mr. Handyscam was finished. They destroyed their own tiling job in our master bath along with destroying the shower/tub combo and leaving us with a non-diverting tub spout, faucets that have to be turned on/off with a screwdriver and a bunch of half-removed black caulk that they thought would look nice with their botched tile work. The upstairs bathroom on the other hand, also a complete re-do left us with a shower that turned on, but drained out of a broken pipe through our kitchen ceiling onto the floor. General attention to detail and finishing capabilities just don't exist with these guys.
Their idea of fixing the drain pipe that was not done to code (no trap) and damage they caused by over tightening the drain cap with washers in the wrong place? Spray some leak repair all over the pipes. That didn't work either. Finally paid another plumber over $500 to fix that, get it to code, and get the upstairs sink plumbed and running. Unfortunately we didn't want to pay extra to have the crappy tile job fixed. Nothing like seeing the bar code from tiles facing out on the wall and seeing clearly where nothing lines up to help anger me every morning I walk in. But that's only because I can't use my own bathroom that they destroyed and never repaired. Next is their inability to accurately estimate timing and costs on jobs. We gave an itemized list of changes to be quoted. That list definitely grew over time, but everything we were quoted on was about 3x more expensive and took 3x longer than originally quoted. That might be OK, except every piece of work we had done was either unfinished, poorly executed or both. There was some quality work done in some areas, but the quality disappears when the job isn't finished. The only quality work I can log was done by Tom himself, and unfortunately that work went unfinished. Today I was up a ladder tacking flashing back onto the upstairs window that was installed. They decided to remove more siding than needed to rough in the window and left it all exposed and never finished with the Tyvek that should've gone up until we could re-side. Some details on different jobs performed... Door installations: interior slab doors were not properly painted (and painted while on hinges). Maybe old rollers were used, because there are bits of roller painted onto the doors which are rough to touch, like the paint was watered down to save money - even though we bought the paint! Painted on hinges so hinges are covered and paint drips on floor where each door was painted. Front door: could've been a decent job, except off plumb and never finished staining the outside frame that was built. Back door: roughed out and left unfinished exposed plaster walls, got the door nice and stained up with dirty hands while installing, and lost the alarm sensor on the original door (thrown away) Painting: some decent work, but all done before major construction so now loads of damage to the paint and wear and tear from other work done after. Painted several hinges shut, and even a light switch. Careless. Master Bathroom: already talked about both bathroom botches. Glad to be writing this review with the ability to shower without going to our daughter's home or a hotel. Here's more details. $10/sq ft marble tiles destroyed after they turned on the tile heating pad they installed instead of letting it cure for 30 days like the installation manual instructed. Over-tightened light fixture at switch so it shorted out a couple weeks later. Put black caulk in for seams (artistic choice?) and then 1/2 stripped out when we asked for white, never finishing, and leaving the shower unsealed/not waterproof. Incorrectly plumbed the tub/shower (shower permanently on, faucets don't turn on without uncapping and using a screwdriver. Never worked but they called it finished. Now we have to demo the wall, replumb and retile from the ground up. Two new plumbers have said "I've never seen anything quite like this!" and they weren't paying a compliment. Upstairs Bathroom: Drain gaskets installed incorrectly and overtightened so leaking and had to replace broken gasket set. No trap plumbed in the drain pipe. Sink pipes were clogged from tiling buys washing grout down bathroom sink; had to be cleaned and re-installed. New sink was hung but never plumbed and connected to pipes. Tiled over outlets and cut tile wrong so can't install plates over GFI and lightswitch without re-cutting and finding an oversize plate. Some tiles on wall face outward so you see the purchase barcode. Left ceiling over shower unfinished. Wood floors: They were supposed to sand and refinish the floors. They didn't sand between coats of poly so now there's bubbling on the floors all over downstairs and they'll have to be redone again. In addition they didn't plug any holes in the floor, so I've got poly all over boxes and other items we were storing in the basement. They did manage to sand right into the co-ax cable coming out of the floor though. Bonus points for not paying attention. Upstairs kid bedroom: painted accent wall with chalkboard paint but managed to get it on the ceiling and opposing walls but never cleaned up. Installed beautiful casement window but tore out more siding than needed and left outside unfinished with galvanized flashing and original plywood exposed. Never came back to finish. Electrical work: replaced some outlets (OK), but replaced a GFI in the kitchen and drove a nail into it... caused shorting problems with back of house until an electrician came out to fix it. Wired and incorrectly installed a back stairwell 'night light' that never worked until electrician fixed. The sad thing about all this is when we met Tom we liked him and trusted him. Apparently that was our big mistake. The work HE actually did was well done, but never really completed to the point where we don't have to do something else to finish or fix it. The work his contractors did was just poorly executed. They just didn't care or don't have the skills to do things properly. As a result, almost everything they've done except install some floating click-lock flooring is having to be finished, cleaned up, or demolished and redone from the ground up. Catastrophic waste of money, and they just vanished and moved on to the next chump waiting to pay once the 1 month turned 4 month job money-pot ran out. My biggest gripe is we ended up in a hotel and spending an additional $4,000+ in room fees only to "finally" move in and have no working bathrooms and work still being done. Highly unrecommended.

I regret that I chose him and should have gone with Copes Carpet in Owasso.
This is the last letter I sent to the company:
Please find enclosed the check for the remainder of the
carpet, tile and kitchen counter material and installation. I am now paid in
full with your company.
I thought about not sending you the money because the job;
materials and labor, was not good and you really didn?t seem to care about
it. I don?t know if you looked down on my father's house since it is not located in a wealthy area of town, or if you
are just generally a snob. Either way,
it is a losing situation for people who do business with you, wealthy, poor or
in the middle.
I will never recommend you to anyone, nor speak highly of
the job that was done at my father's house. The materials and installation
should have been flawless, not flawed. There should have been no snags, rips or
tears of any kind in the carpet. The flooring in the kitchen should have been smooth and even, not hidden with more
tile on top. The counters should have
been installed and cleaned up the same day.
I do know that mistakes happen, however as many that happened with the
above mentioned at my father's house were too many.
Because I am a person of my word I have paid the agreed
amount after you took off the $500 from the invoice. With that being said I am
closing this chapter of my life with your company.
However Mr. Henry thought it good to try and place a lien and my father's house and then he charged me interest on my invoice. In my opinion he is not a very honest man.

Service was scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Repair person arrived at 1:00. I opened the door and he said and quot;refrigerator.and quot; He did not introduce himself, apologize for being late or ask any questions about the problems with the refrigerator. There was no friendly banter and that is fine with me but I think he should have introduced himself and asked for some details about what was going on with our refrigerator. He went to work on the refrigerator, left for awhile, and then returned with new parts. He installed the new fan and then proceeded to pack his tools. He asked if I had a light bulb to replace the burned out light bulb. He asked why the cover was missing from the top of the ice bin. I told him that it had to be removed because the ice and the cold water dispensers only work part-time and we have to reach into the bin to get ice most of the time. He grabbed a glass from the kitchen sink and used the water dispenser -- it worked. So, he looked at me and said, and quot;it's working.and quot; I repeated my story about the part-time nature of the ice and water dispensers. He said, and quot;they're working now,and quot; and moved the refrigerator back into place. He looked at the water that had spilled all over our kitchen floor during the repair job and then said, and quot;you got a mop?and quot; I said, and quot;don't bother,and quot; and he of course, did not bother. He placed a metal case on our ceramic stove top and started writing up a bill. The case scratched the edge of the stove top. He gave me the bill for $140. I asked, and quot;what am I paying for?and quot; I thought it would be nice to have an explanation of the service that was provided. It was obvious that he had no concern about the other problems with our refrigerator. He said, and quot;I had to replace the fan.and quot; I gave him a check and he said, and quot;let me know if you have any problem,and quot; and he left our home.
I have been pleased with Green Yates in the past and felt confident in calling them for this repair job. This is the first time we have needed service on our refrigerator. I still have confidence in Green Yates as a company but I will be cautious if I need another service call from them. I do not know the repair person's name because he did not offer it. I urge Green Yates to consider my experience and review their policies with regard to repair techs.

She initially came to assess the job and afterwards called with calculated pricing for cleaning our 3-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house: $180 for the first cleaning and $140 for subsequent cleanings, which includes all her own cleaning supplies and eqipment. Our house was a challenge because we are elderly and haven't been able to keep up with it for quite some time. Ashlee arrived promptly and worked tirelessly for about 6 hours. The results were excellent, floors spotless, tables and counters gleaming. She also cleaned the vertical surfaces in the kitchen which had some years' of grease film, now gone. The bathrooms were similarly done very well - she even managed somehow to eliminate much of the hated mineral rings in the toilets that accumulate through evaporation over time. She also raised and cleaned both sides of the tempered glass pads under our two office chairs. Altogether a very thorough job. We were somewhat taken aback at the $180 price because Angie's list apparently isn't used a lot (yet) in our area and her listing had only one comment, I'm sure several years' old, with a mention of $75. However, on reflection and given the serious labor involved, I think we got good value for our money. Subsequent cleanings will work out to about $28 an hour (140/5 = 28) and she does provide her own transportation and supplies. I would confidently recommend Ashlee Cooper to family and friends.

"We were very excited to hire them, however they lied to us since day ONE. We were told they would be 3 men working instead we ended up with HALF a man. We were getting charge constantly for things that we already paid for and when we questioned Wendy she would get upset and try to offer us way for them to keep our money. They were very unprofessional, leaving spits bottle all over my house. DO NOT let the pictures you see online fool you, Casey is an amateur he would sit and watch how to do things on YouTube. Letâ s not forget they are very indolent we were told they work 9-3 they NEVER work a full day, they donâ t respect timeline they were hired to work 4 months in our house they worked MAYBE 5 full weeks out of the 4 months. We love our kitchen but thatâ s because 99% of the work were done by other people(our cabinets and granite) If you are able to record every conversation you have with them please do, because THEY ARE LIARS they would tell you one thing and do the complete opposite. The quality of work they do DOES NOT worth the amount of money they will charge you. If you are looking for sloppy work, work that is falling apart while theyâ re still on site, unfinished work look no further"

FAQs for kitchen cabinet refacing projects in Granby, MO
The cost of cabinet refacing is $7,230 on average. However, it's possible to pay between $1,200 and $16,000 for this project. Factors like the number of cabinets and the refacing materials impact the total cost significantly.
For example, plastic laminate is the most cost-effective cabinet option for refacing, costing $1,000 to $3,000. If you're looking for solid wood cabinets, you can expect to pay more, ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 on average for refacing.
The cost to refinish cabinets is $3,000 on average. However, this cost can range from $700 to $6,000, depending on the size and location of the cabinets, the refinishing method, and number of cabinets.
Staining your cabinet doors is the most cost-effective option, costing between $4 and $10per square foot. However, if you choose to glaze them, that price jumps to $10 to $25per square foot.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
