handyman service
+ -1 moreOver 2 days Don and his assistance replaced an exterior door, fixed multiple window drip sills, replaced rotten side battens, re-built an interior window frame that had water damage, and fixed a shed door and floor. They also painted these repaired areas. The actual cost for the work, time and materials, were on target with his estimates and the work was fantastic. They were efficient and took care to clean up as they went along. The workmanship was much better than I could ever do myself even if I had the time. I will have him back soon to help with more projects.
Description of Work: Multiple Small Project - All Well Done

fencing, handyman service
+ 0 moreDon and his asst. cleaned up, took the torn down fence away, and left me very satisfied with the outcome. I will use Hammer Handyman in the future and already have an estimate for another job. I really like that I was charged only for actual time and materials and not simply the estimated cost. I will recommend him to friends and coworkers.
Description of Work: Got an estimate last week for a backyard fence repair and a front fence removal. Estimated cost was $250. The job was completed in a lot less time than expected and I actually paid less than the estimate - $150!

handyman service, siding, replacement windows
+ 1 moreDon repaired where possible and replaced where needed. He showed up on time, finished when he said he would and charged what he estimated. He also presented the material cost to demonstrate that he did not make a profit on material cost. Don was professional in every way.
Description of Work: Repaired siding on dormers and a few window casings.

handyman service, roofing
+ 0 moreMr. Holmes made an extra effort to squeeze in to his very busy schedule my mother's roof problem. He went the extra mile coming over after he finished his already long work day. He climbed on the roof, identified two probably issues and told my mom he would return the next day, again after working a long day elsewhere, and fix the roof leak. As good as his word, Mr. Holmes came back the next early evening, patched a roof and secured some flashing. Water leak disappeared.
Description of Work: Fixed a leak in the roof.

drain cleaning, handyman service, plumbing
+ 1 moreEverything was quickly and professionally handled.
Description of Work: We first used Hammer when our toilet was not working, this was on one 4th of July and Hammer Handy Service came that day. The next time we needed them the toilet was leaking from underneath and it was repaired quickly. Very satisfied and will continue to keep their number in my file. Thanks.

doors, remodeling, handyman service, plumbing, siding, replacement windows
+ 4 moreAfter my initial phone call, he was able to visit the job site the next day and provided me with a printed estimate detailing each job and how much labor and materials would cost within two business days. Very knowledgeable, I had several random projects covering all kinds of exterior and interior work and he was able to complete them all. Very friendly and easy to get along with, was pleased with his quality of work. We will be using him again for future projects.
Description of Work: Needed someone to help me finish some remodeling projects, things like patch some holes, replace a window, hang doors, install a sink, outdoor siding work, etc. In terms of labor, it was close to a $1,000.00 job.

+ 11 moreHe is thorough, and very detail conscience. His work and pricing is straight forward. He separates the cost of Labor vs Parts and Supply. This means you can see there are no hidden markups in the total estimate. This is the most tricky part of most estimates, and why Hammer Handyman sometimes 'seems' more expensive. I have been low-balled by many contractors, and then suddenly towards the end of the project there is some cost over-runs that were never estimated or Parts and Supply from companies I have never heard of that all of a sudden I need to install or the project will not finish. I never feel that I am being fleeced with Don.
Description of Work: NOTE: I placed $1 in the Approx cost, since Angie's List demands it. This is more a general review of all services. Too bad I am just getting around to writing this review, but I have been using Don Holmes (Hammer Handyman), for over 3 years now. He has done the following work (and many more, I probably forgot to mention): Refurbished and replaced deck and porch. Removed and finished a load bearing wall in the Living Room. Added new cabinets, sink, and plumbing to powder room. Pressure washed house exterior. Fixing plumbing maters, such as sink or toilet issues. Repair drywall. Painted rooms. Added ceiling fans. Bathroom remodel, with new shower, and sink, and complete tile work in Shower, and Floor. New wood floors added to two Rooms and staircase. And the biggest project of all, he just finished my attic to a full live-able bonus room. Sure he didn't do the HVAC, Foam insulation, and some of the License specific tasks, but pretty much he was the main guy that did all the majority of work. I have a CO License from the Town of Cary to prove it. In the future I plan to make a real Home Theater room from one of the kids old play rooms, and I am sure I will give Don a call when I am ready for that. The work is top notch. He is not the cheapest guy in town, but also not the most expensive. You get good value for your money. He is responsive, flexible, and quite respectful of me, our family, and my house. He has also been trustworthy. I have left him alone in my house during days when I have to be out, and I have never had to think twice. He cleans up, and locks up after he is done.

hardscaping
+ -1 moreThe quality for the money was okay but overall I can’t say I was very satisfied with the guy. It was adequate but he didn’t pay attention to details. He laid down the tiles but they needed cementing and he didn’t do it. I told him to do it and he wasn’t very happy with that. When he did do it, he did a sloppy job so I had him do it again. I was cleaning up after him a week after he left. The feeling I got was this is what I get for $450. He quoted me the price and I didn’t hassle him about it. I wanted him to be happy with his price so he’d do a good job. He did lay the tiles but he could have been cleaner. He even left his cigarette butts in my grass. I didn’t care that he smoked but he needed to clean up after himself. He cleaned the cement in my grass and now I have cement patches in my yard. I told him to do it further down the yard but he said it was minerals and it was okay and that nothing would happen. There is literally a cement patch in my grass. It’s not hurting the environment but it makes my grass look bad. For a guy that has 30 years’ experience, I was expecting a better job. I have to put cement around the corners because when winter comes and it freezes, it’s going to crack the tiles in a few years. I have to finish off things that he didn’t do. I can’t say that I would recommend him. I would never use him in the future.
Description of Work: I used Hammer Handyman to put tiles on the slab outside. It cost $450 for 130 square feet.

handyman service, woodworking
+ 0 moreI've used him several times. His name is Don. The price was exaggerated because he had to go and pick up the materials. He is very honest and very, very dependable. He comes when he says he'll be. He came across quite a difficult problem and he was able to correct it. My neighbors have also used him. No job is too small for him; he will come and do anything. His prices are a little on the high side. He works by himself. He is very punctual and very professional. I will call him whenever I need to.
Description of Work: I used Hammer Handyman Services to install crown molding.

handyman service, lighting
+ 0 moreThey did a good job, working to find a new solution after he discovered they doubled up on the studs--making the spot I had chosen too narrow and placement of electrical made other spots challenging. They were finally able to find a spot that would work though and cleaned up thoroughly. The chandelier was installed higher than I had asked but it looks fine and if I had said something at the time I'm sure they would have fixed it.
Description of Work: Installed a doggy door and hung dining room chandelier.
