Jon finally came to my house March 24th, told me his partner had already ordered some hinges (no price provided). He said he would get back to me via e-mail in a day or so with full details.Today is March 30th and not a word. Guess they don't want the work.
I conclude Man around the House pick and choose what they want or don't want to do. I would not recommend them for anything
The tile guy cut the tile wrong. Then put down the black marble border tile crooked. And when I asked that it be corrected, the crew did it very reluctantly as if I was a real pain.The owner said he thought the border was fine. But finally did fix it.
A painter painted a bathroom ceiling upstairs and the next day the paint was peeling off.
I made it clear that the pipes beneath the wall-hung sink should be chrome. But when the plumber came to put in the sink, the drain was half rubber, half chrome. It did not look good at all. When I complained about that, again, I was treated rudely.
The owners stopped returning my phone calls. I had to repeatedly call and send emails to get them to finish the work.
I would never use Man Around the House again. Nor would I recommend them to anyone. I have used another contractor for a bigger bathroom upstairs and was very pleased with the work. The crew was professional. The contractor was always there to make sure things were done well. That was impressive. This powder room was a very small job and I should not have encountered any problems with it at all.
It appears they have specialists on call for various job as one stripped the paper/repaired/primed the wall and another did the wallpapering.
All involved were very professional and their work was superb.
Might the price (which also included hanging a large, decorative mirror on a plaster wall--I'm not handy, so doing that sort of thing is not my cup of tea--and some minor repairs to a storm door) been a little steep? Possibly, which is why I gave them a and quot;Band quot; on price. But the promptness, courtesy, professionalism and quality of work seems to have justified the cost.
The consultation went very well. The representative arrived promptly and discussed all the options for the work we wanted done. We found the estimate a little on the high side for the work involved, so we are seeking other estimates at this time.
