We know it’s tough to find a home services contractor you can trust. With over six decades of experience, Blanton’s is a Raleigh and Fayetteville mainstay. Known for our professional approach, quality products. and guaranteed workmanship, we’re proud to offer heating, cooling, plumbing and electric solutions that knock your socks off.
"Cancelled all services with Blanton as well as this well pitched Wow Service Plan. Was given a good pitch about services provided. However, after scheduling twice for services provided by service plan, only to have them cancelled and told need to reschedule. Today is was need to reschedule because they are anticipating (four days from now) a high volume of emergency calls due to cold weather and freezing temperatures. What cold weather? 52 and 43 at night are not freezing temps; 69 and 67 daytime are not freezing temps. So you reschedule appointments four days in advance with no actual justification or confirmation the day of of what you think might happen? Sounds more like laziness or a reason not to fulfill appointments made almost two weeks prior. Second, why have an online system that allows you to book an appointment and date but when you call to complete the appointment process, tell us that the dates that show on the calendar as “available” don’t actually mean they are available? The lady I spoke to said they are run by two different departments. Sounds like you need to update your systems and booking process that actually shows dates of availability so customers don’t waste time picking a date that isn’t actually available and waste time. Or get rid of calendar option altogether so you cannot select a date that isn’t in “real” time."

Hello, I am a furniture maker that has skills that reach beyond the shop. While designing and creating beautiful furniture is my mainstay, I also preform handyman duties as well, mostly ranging in finish carpentry, installation of fixtures, as well as general around the house upgrades and repairs. With skills and interest in how things work I have learned the necessary skills to be a jack-of-all-trades. As a handyman I do not stray outside of my knowledge base just to earn a dollar. I've been helping people fix and maintain their homes for years before I began doing it professionally. Let me help you, too. Whether you just need some pictures hung on the wall, an old table leg to stop squeaking, or a brand new dining room table design and built, I am here to help you accomplish your goals! With an eye for detail and design, an education in design and a love for crafting beautiful objects, I have cultivated the skills to help design and build custom pieces that anyone would be happy to have in their home!
"Jarod is the best. We have used him on multiple occasions. There doesn't seem to be anything that he can't do… Installation, repair, production.... I will continue to call Jarod time after time after time."

"It was an excellent experience! My old Kenmore fridge (probably from the 90s) quit cooling/defrosting. After looking to replace it and finding thanks to the pandemic refrigerators are on backorder for months, I called 3 appliance repair companies who didn't call me back. I found Neli and was able to set up an appointment at a time I picked.. An incredibly patient tech (Chris C.) came chat on at the appointed time. I waited about 5 mins as he was wrapping up another call. I walked me through the diagnosis using a virtual support app on my phone. He was able to help me with taking things apart, helped me use our multimeter, and diagnosed the problem. I can do this repair myself. He gave me the exact part numbers and told me what I need to do. All for $35 for an hour on a Sunday. I can't believe how great this was. I thought I had to replace my refrigerator, but for $35 + $111 in parts (I could have gone cheaper but chose OEM) my refrigerator will return to health. Their website lists the tools you will need for a diagnosis/repair, make sure you have them ready. For refrigerators, you need a screwdriver (flat & phillips), a socket set, a multimeter, and theoretically a pair of pliers but I didn't use them. Also make sure your phone is charged (lesson learned)."

"We hired Robert May to clean up and remodel a property we purchased at auction. He began work on or about June 5, 2020. The plan was to spruce up the house enough to attract a tenant. We do these projects all over the country and can generally turn a property around in 4 - 16 weeks at the most, if truly in need of major rehab. By January 2021, we began seriously questioning Robert. Why was this project taking so long? We could have built an entire house in seven months! Robert promised that he would be finished by Valentines Day. February 14, 2021 passed long ago. There was still work being done in March. Finally, after spending roughly $90,000 on a project to fix up a house that cost us approximately $18,500 to purchase initially, we realized that we were way over budget and needed to recoup some costs quickly. Roberts wife aggressively pitched herself as a realtor who could get the house SOLD and moreover that the house would sell quickly as it was in fantastic shape and she would personally push Robert to get the house finished so she could get it sold. The home was listed for sale April 6 and went under contract June 2. Although the transaction was scheduled to close July 2, it is now July 9 and the deal is still not closed. Due to numerous defects in the workmanship provided by Robert May, we had to credit Buyer $7,500. Then, at the last minute, Robert May and his wife Karen Reese May have snuck in a bill for $4,500 for additional work. This is after paying Robert more than $80,000 for his inferior work! Robert has not apologized for the defects, refuses to talk to me, and has made no effort to make amends for the failures. Worse yet, we are losing $7,500 on the transaction as a result of the poor workmanship which Robert should be responsible for, but instead Robert is billing an additional $4,500! The Buyer s attorney will not close and we think it is unfair for Robert to make us pay him even more after he cost us so much. So disappointing on top of that that Roberts wife is now breaching her fiduciary duty to represent her clients and rather is advocating only for herself. It appears that Robert May is not licensed, but Karen Reese May should clearly lose her license for such a breach of her fiduciary duty to her client. Should you have any questions about Robert May, feel free to contact me."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The average cost to repair an appliance depends on the appliance, make, model, the part that needs repair, and how long it takes to replace or repair a part. The following are the average repair costs for the most common appliances:
Refrigerator: $200–$300
Freezer: $90–$500
Oven, cooktop, range: $100–$500
Microwave: $50–$400
Dishwasher: $160–$300
Garbage disposal: $70–$250
Washing machine: $50–$450
Dryer: $100–$400
Appliance repair contractors may charge $40 to $120 per hour for labor, and most also provide the replacement parts necessary at an additional cost. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays and emergency fees may apply if you need your appliance fixed immediately.
The cost of home appliances ranges from $350 to $8,000 or more, depending on the brand, type of appliance, and features. Additional cost factors include any hookups that need to be installed, such as gas, plumbing, or electrical. Keep in mind that major appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and water heaters, will cost more than minor appliances, such as microwaves, due to the size, complexity, and essential nature of the item.
