The House Doctors

Scheduled and showed up right on time. Work performed fine. My concrete and brick are pretty old so I didn't have high expectations. They did the best they could do with what they had to work with. The House Doctors did everything as promised. I'd use them in the future for other projects.

He was very professional and personable. We did not have to wait long for an appointment and he showed up on time. He cleaned up after himself and even offered advice on other work items we need done.

Very friendly guys and quick service. Helpful and informative. It worked just as it usually does with The House Doctors. I continue to use them because I have such a great experience with them every time.

He never bothered to call back.

I purchased a $99 big deal on Feb. 12th, 2014 and a few days later received an email asking for my phone number so they could contact me which I sent. however after several weeks they still had not called to schedule so I called twice and left messages before receiving a reply. by then they were booked out for several weeks so the soonest they could come out was beginning of May. Mark arrived on time and was very polite. they did a good job of cleaning up after themselves, and covering everything during the process to minimize dust. I did need to pay an additional $170.00 to get the job done "right" (second coating of dry wall plaster requiring 2 additional hours of labor plus $40 supplies). I was a little taken aback by the additional cost but do feel they did I good job. However at $65 per hour of labor for 2 guys I will definitely do the repainting myself.

Overall, it went ok. They said they couldn’t do two stories, which I wish I would have known. I also had to pay for some additional time to get the job finished, and it seemed like they charged me for an hour to cover a half hour’s work. If I could do it over, I would not purchase this Deal again.

When I tried to get an appointment set up, they told me it would be way far out. The man I spoke with was rude and did not have common people skills and didn't know how to talk with people. He told me to just get a refund.

Work was done less than 3 hrs but had to pay additional cost for parts.

Generally the work was OK. The problem is that there was a push to agree to more work and, the the time, we didn't want it done. Within days I contacted them again to do follow-up work and do the next phase of what was started, and I never heard back from them.

I’ve tried contacting them repeatedly, but I haven’t gotten any response.

When I call for my appointment they service provide told me he could not do the work until May 6 which was over 4 weeks away. I really wanted the work done so excepted the day because my Big Deal was going to run out but it was not a very convent day to get it done. I took off work and wait for him to show up. They did not even call me to tell me they were running behind. I had to call twice to find that out. Then they strung me along all afternoon telling me they me there in an hour. Finally at 4 pm they called and ask if they could come tomorrow. No you cannot come tomorrow I have work. If they had call me that morning and told me that they could not make it. I could have gone to work but because they did not call and then they strung me along all afternoon I wasted the whole day. I do not think they did not have any plan to do the work that day. I think they forgot about my job completely. Also I think part of the problem is I have the Big Deal and they did not want to honor it.

It did not go. They did not answer me, contact me or anything. Angie's List or they got the $99 for nothing.

Jim called to say he'd be 1/2 hour late but arrived on time and paid close attention when I showed him the work I needed done which included 2 ceiling cracks and several holes in the walls caused by appliance installations, etc. He went right to work and explained that one of the cracks would require a longer time to complete because the ceiling needed to be cut out and replaced with drywall. He had thoroughly inspected the damage and determined that the previous attempt at repair was shoddy and the ceiling had not been attached to the ceiling properly. The other crack in the ceiling did not require replacement and he was able to lightly plaster the crack which would then be painted over so that the crack didn't show. The previous owner of the house had not used the ceiling fan in the shower resulting in a sagging ceiling. Jim worked on the ceiling in the bathroom and got it fixed the patched the various holes then went for matching paint (which I paid him back for ) and when he returned the ceiling was dry. He then painted the ceiling in the bathroom and the results were wonderful. Beyond the original deal of $99 for 3 hours work, I paid an additional $180 (3 hours extra at $60 per hour plus $48 in supplies). For a total cost of $279 plus supplies, I was very pleased with the job and will set up another time to have the hallway ceiling cut out and repaired. I felt the price was right for the amount of time that was taken and Jim's attention to detail was great. He even climbed a ladder into my attic to make sure that the shower fan was vented out of the attic, not just blowing moist air into the attic. The end result was beautiful, more than I could have hoped for.

Took advantage of an Angie's List Big Deal and glad I did. "Jim" was the man who did the work and he was very professional, even fixing a couple of things I should have mentioned and didn't. If Jim represents the type of person and quality of work to expect from House Doctors, we will be using them again. Very pleased with everything he did.

The guy who did the work showed up about 30 minutes late but did call to let me know. The owner showed up close the end of the job. I paid an intro discount for 3 hours of drywall work. The work was done very well, however what I thought was a pretty small job (patching an area approx 24"-24" and skim coating) took 4 1/2 hours so I had to pay an extra $70+. When he initially looked at it he told me he could get it done in 3 hours. I also had to do the finish sanding myself (they offered to return to do it but I didn't want to pay any more). Overall the quality is very good. I can't tell there was ever an issue with the ceiling. Although it took longer and cost more than expected, it was still far less than another quote that I got. I am very glad I hired someone who knows how to do the job right instead of trying to do it myself. He also gave me some quotes for skim coating and painting in other parts of my home and feel the price is too high for the work that needs to be done, although I am sure the work would be good.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It went really well. They worked well with my schedule. They gave me a couple of openings and one worked really well for me. I basically said there were two days that I could be home and they made it happen. They showed up on time. The guy they sent knew how to do the work. He knew the best way to do it and knew how to do it up to code. They cleaned up. I paid an additional $270 over the deal.

The House Doctors, as always, did an excellent job doing various work around the outside of the house. I always have full confidence in their work and they never let me down.

Couldn't be happier with the dry wall repair job that Mark did for us on a $99 Deal. I paid for it in Feb. and asked if they could hold off till warmer weather for the work, because that's when the pops are worse. Mark came on 4/23 as requested, and this is a challenging area to work on in our house. It's been repaired twice before, but Mark tackled it really well, and it looks ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! It may not last forever, but he did a fine job and is a great representative for his company -- polite, friendly and very talented. You wouldn't be able to tell that any work was done on the ceiling, 'cause it looks so good! This problem was part of a really large project done for us by Jeff Desatnik in January of 2013. Unfortunately, the 2 bad nail pops reappeared in the summer, along with the loose tape in the ceiling joint. I left several messages for Jeff in Aug. and Sept. and actually talked to him a couple of times, too, but he never showed up here. I know he's busy with big jobs (like our original one), but we hoped he would find the time to fix the problems we encountered in the areas he repaired in January. We liked Jeff a lot but are VERY disappointed in his lack of follow through for us.

Purchased "$99 for up to 3 Hours of Drywall/Plaster Repair" on 09/03/2013. It has been 7 months and I am still waiting for Bob to be healthy enough to do the work. Angies List is supposed to filter out providers like this. Very poor communication and customer service.

The garbage disposal in my kitchen literally fell off of the bottom of the sink when I turned it on. The clamping mechanism had become loose, and the unit fell down when the vibration of me turning it on made it come totally loose. The House Doctors were called at 3:30 pm, and the plumber arrived 3 hours later as promised, at 6:30 pm. He remounted the garbage disposal unit, and also replaced several of the chrome plated pipes under the sink, because they were corroded and ready to start leaking. The plumber cleaned up after under the sink when the work was done, and the left the kitchen spic and span.

They promptly responded to my call and set up an appointment to come out and do the work within a few days. They came as promised, installed the hose carrier, no muss, no fuss.

That went well. The deal was for three hours of work but they were here a lot longer and they charged me a lot more. It was expensive. They had to leave it to dry and then come back for more. They did a good job but it was a big job for three hours. The clean up was fine. It just seemed like it took them a long time, which is what I remember but maybe it was required, I don’t know. There was a lot more money and a lot more time involved but we liked them. It all worked well and it looks really good, you can never make out there was ever a hole there.

bought a big deal, for 2 hours of handyman service. after a couple emails back and forth the work was scheduled promptly the handy man showed up exactly on time. the work did extend past the 2 hour slot, but he gave me the option to stop if I wanted to. works great! well worth the money to get that finished as I couldn't do it myself.

I bought the deal on Thursday 4/10, indicating I wanted the service any time from Tuesday 4/15 thru Thursday 4/17. I got in contact with The House Doctors/Bob Vechio Saturday, 4/12 giving my phone number. Bob Vechhio never called me though I left two voice mails for him on two separate days during the time period I had wanted the service.

This was a hard project because it involved plumbing and dry wall. After Marc got the dry wall up and painted, a water bubble was noted in the ceiling. All the work work Marc had done had to be removed. It was then discovered that the wax ring under the toilet needed to be replaced. The House Doctors sent Bob the plumber out to fix that problem. Marc came back, redid the dry and painted the ceiling and it looks just beautiful,
