gutter cleaning
  + -1 more
Bob was extremely pushy, erratic, and unprofessional. I called one day to try to diagnose a problem with the gutters. I said I would make sure the water was on at the house and then call to schedule an appointment to have them cleaned. He called the next morning and said, "My guys are in the area, they can be there in half an hour." I said I wasn't ready, give me more time. He said, after a bit of back-and-forth, in a very exasperated and impatient tone of voice, "You know, why don't you find someone else to do this. I'm trying to help you out here, my guys are in area, etc." As if I, the customer, was expected to work around his schedule and was being entirely unreasonable for requesting that I call him when I was ready. Unbelievable. In general, he was very pushy. I would never trust someone like this to work on my house.

Response from The House Doctors
PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO A STORY. SHE CALLED ABOUT A DUPLEX HOME THAT HAD CONSIDERABLE RAIN WATER BACKING UP OVER HER GUTTERS. SHE WAS VERY, VERY INSISTENT THAT WE GET THERE ASAP TO CLEAN AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I TOLD HER ( THINKING I WAS BEING A NICE GUY )THAT WE COULD GET THERE THE FOLLOWING DAY. SHE WAS GLAD TO HEAR THAT. I ASKED IF SHE HAD A HOSE THERE AND THE OUTSIDE WATER TURNED ON. SHE DIDN'T KNOW BUT WOULD MEET US THERE OR GET THERE BEFORE US THE NEXT DAY TO BRING A HOSE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT; SHE CALLS AND SAYS THAT SHE CAN BE THERE BY 12:30 P.M. TO MEET MY GUYS AND GIVE THEM THE HOSE. NOW MIND YOU; I HAD MY GUYS SET TO GO THERE FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE SINCE SHE WANTED IT DONE NOW!!! AFTER CALLING ME TO SAY SHE WOULD BE THERE AT 12:30, SHE CALLS NOT TEN MINUTES LATER TO SAY " BOB, I JUST CAN'T DO THIS TODAY" I SAID BUT WE SCHEDULED YOU TODAY BECAUSE YOU WERE IN SUCH A HURRY. I SAID, MY GUYS ARE IN YOUR AREA. WHAT DO I HAVE MY MEN DO NOW THAT YOU HAVE CANCELLED YOUR APPOINTMENT. SELFISH AS CAN BE. SHE COULD CARE LESS AND YES, AT THE END AFTER WITNESSING TOTAL SELFISHNESS ON HER PART I DID GET A LITTLE INDIGNANT BUT I BIT MY TONGUE TO BE SURE. MY MEN HAD NOTHING TO DO FOR THAT 1 1/2 HOUR TIME SLOT BECAUSE OF HER BUT I HAD TO PAY MY MEN FOR THAT TIME SINCE IT WASN'T THERE FAULT. YOU CAN'T PLEASE SOME PEOPLE BUT IN 32 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS, I PLEASE 991/2% OF THEM. HOPE YOU READ THIS WELL AND UNDERSTAND. THANKS, BOB VECCHIO

The gutters were cleaned in a timely and professional manner. The workers had an opening in their schedule and were able to perform the work even earlier than originally promised. We very much appreciated their prompt response. I would certainly consider The House Doctors to perform additional work in the future.

Very disappointing first experience. Over the phone, I told Bob Vecchio (owner) that I had a variety of projects I needed handled. When I wasn't available that afternoon for him to come visit my house (he was in the area), he told me that his son would call me back to schedule a time that was convenient. I'm still waiting for that call back. It left the impression that if it wasn't convenient for them, then they wouldn't bother following up.

Bob Vecchio returned my phone call promptly and was very polite. I was leaving the country in a few days and needed the job to be expedited. He made sure his guys showed up before I left (only 2 days or so after I called) to start the job. They were very professional, thorough, and cleaned up after themselves. The job cost exactly what I was quoted. Though it was a bit more expensive than other quotations, I was more than willing to pay for the rapid turnaround. I will use the House Doctors again.

The House Doctors did a terrific job on the electrical work for our house. The work was done promptly, professionally and the cost was very competitive. We were most impressed by the creative solutions they suggested for our needs. They were very willing to make changes to their original proposal as our plans changed. Very easy to work with and we woill certainly use them again.

Very good experience overall. They did good quality work and were responsive. Mike G. did the work and was very easy to work with. Bob took care of everything, accommodating us on the specific fixtures and tile we wanted that had to be special ordered and installed. It took a little longer than expected but we didn't mind because they were so responsive to our needs. They were also very neat and cleaned up each day. We got updates nightly and they let us know their schedule. We had some minor issues/punch list items that they took care of in a timely fashion. Bob has done good quality work for me in the past (e.g. exterior painting, gutter cleaning), and I'll call him for my future needs.
Description of Work: Complete renovation of master bathroom, specifically: demo and removal of existing plaster, tile and fixtures; repairing of shower base; new piping in bathroom; new electrical; new hotwater tank; provide and install new toilet, sink and frameless shower door; recoat existing tub; insulate and drywall; new tile on floor, shower stall and around tub; new lighting and exhaust fan. The only thing they didn't do was painting - we did that after.

We called The House Doctors because they have done a lot of work for us in the past. They always aim to please. Bob Vecchio returned my call the same day. It's nice to know that there is a dependable service out there that is willing to come out and do odd repairs, such as a small hole in the wall that others might not want to bother with.
Description of Work: A plumber had put a hole in an upstairs hall wall. Within about two days, (which was even sooner than they thought they could get to it originally) Michael Vecchio and another worker came out and repaired the hole. They plastered over it, so you can hardly tell there was a hole there. They would have brought paint to match the current wall color as closely as possible, but I told them that major interior painting is planned, so it wasn't necessary.

Working with Mike was a pleasure. I received an estimate and he explained to me everything that would be completed. The roofing was done quickly and the guys were nice enough to take before and after pictures for me. They picked up all the old roofing and left the place very neat. Pat did the work in the bathroom. The door and ceiling look great. He was very thorough. Mike took the time to explain how to use a power washer correctly.
Description of Work: Tore off and then re-roofed 3rd floor Dormer Flat roof. They fixed the crack and replastered the ceiling and door in the bathroom where the roof had leaked and left damage. They repainted the ceiling.

This was a small job but it was important to us to get it done well. The work was performed by one person who appeared to be an accomplished mason. The work was done, as contracted, and in a timely manner. Although I had less expensive quotes, I felt comfortable that this company would perform even a small job well. If I paid a premium for that, it was worth it.

deck cleaning
  + -1 more
Actually, so far we are disappointed. We were interested in having multiple projects done, including cleaning and re-staining our large deck, and rebuilding our brick front porch. We decided to call the House Doctors because their listing covered our needs best. We left a message with the original call and he called back that same day. We asked him specifically if he came to Lorain county and he said he would for a big enough project, and agreed to come give us an estimate. That was three weeks ago and even though we did have a lot of rainy weather, he never called to say that was the reason his estimate was delayed. We certainly will not recommend that business to anyone. We are still searching for someone to do the porch project, which we'd like to have done by the end of June. My husband has decided to do the deck himself. Thanks for asking, and I do not enjoy giving negative feedback, however, it seems as though this business does not measure up to your Angie's List standards.

I called them again, and he told me he was going to charge me $70 just to come out to look at it. That's ridiculous, when 2 months earlier, he had charged $150 to clean them out. That to me was not right.
Description of Work: Cleaned gutters. I talked to Bob Vecchio, he came out and cleaned the gutters for $150, which was probably more than I should have paid. My house is big, and is in a newer neighborhood, very high end. I think he saw $$. They cleaned the gutters in December when the leaves were pretty much down. Two months later when there really weren't any leaves left, I had 2 areas that clogged.

Steps were in bad repair. The guys came out within a few weeks of my initial call & had most of the job completed by the time I came home from work. Work site was very clean & neat, & debris was bagged & placed at the curb for collection. The only fault I could find is that my water was left running when it could have been conserved by using a nozzle shutoff.
Description of Work: Removed old, loose concrete & repaired steps. Removed existing wrought iron railing from steps & reinstalled on the opposite side. Painted steps with concrete sealer when concrete had set. The steps look very good now. It is a pleasure to see them each day instead of the mess that was there. They had been damaged by time & the wrought iron railing had been crumpled from impact from a neighbor's car. Excellent work. Bob Vecchio was willing to work with me on the price & was very courteous & helpful. I will definitely hire them for future work.
