The walls had a lot of damage, and after they did the job, they look beautiful! Excellent work!

Initially I had asked Brian to replace the threshold in my garage entry door. My house is 40 years old and the door is the original. Brian quickly found that the threshold I needed is not available, so we decided to replace the the door. Brian did his usually job. The new door looks great and his clean up afterwards was outstanding. He is very conscientous and his work is very professional.

"THIS IS NOT A REVIEW FOR OUR COMPANY. angieslist is in the process of contacting this customer. We have never performed work for this customer nor do we typically do this type of work. We hope that this will be rectified a.s.a.p. This would be the right thing to do by both parties (angies list and the above reviewer). Let's get it right angies list!"

First off there was problems with scheduling. The owner and the person who showed up, had two completely different stories. The quality to work was awful and worse that what I would have done. All of the edging was terrible. They also messed up and started painting the alcove above the shower the wall color. Luckily I had a gallon of white paint, so they had to repaint the entire ceiling and that was an extra cost to me. Then one of the painters was hinting around that he wanted music, so I brought in my child’s radio and asked him what station he wanted it on. He said it didn’t matter. So I put on Sunny 95 and left. When I came back home, there was paint all over the radio, all over the knobs and dripped in to the knobs too. When I came home from work and saw the lack of quality from the painting job, I called the owner. We set an appointment and he was going to come out to fix that, but he never showed up. On top of that, in my bathroom the toilet was in an extra area, with a separate door. The company charged me extra for that, even though the room I had them paint, all of that was in the bathroom. He said the 3x6 toilet area was an extra room. Buyer’s Beware!

"WE RATE THIS CUSTOMER WITH A "DC" for (dishonest customer). and we give this customer's review NO credence. This customer is completely dishonest. One thing after another with this customer including schedule changing. No we didn't borrow a radio, yes we did a professional job and did extra work without charging to boot which included removing many wall hangings that were part of the customers responsibility in the fine print. She wanted an extra toilet room painted and we told her how much it would cost and only charged her 50% of the normal cost to do that. This bathroom was very large including a spa bath. She still owes the company $55.00 dollars. She should be banned from Angies List! Thankfully almost all of our angies list customers have been a pleasure to work for and we greatly appreciate their business. To bad you have some bad apples in a bushel sometimes. It happens and we drive on. Respectfully, Brian."

I called Brian in the morning right after the bracket which held up the blinds to my sliding glass door came apart. He kindly squeezed me in his busy day and worked around my schedule as well. He arrived close to the time he had told me but was a little delayed due to rush hour which was reasonable. He was professional and quickly went to work to reinstall the casing which had come loose from the wall and reinstalled my blinds after that was put back up. I really appreciated that he fit me in the day I called as I was having a very stressful day and this took one thing off my long list. Thank you Brian and Angie's List for helping me find a good service provider.

Everything turned out just fine. I liked I did not have to do it myself. There was some minor clean up I had to do. There was one person here painting and it took about 4 hours to complete.

Nothing horrible happened, there is no drama here. Just that in general the provider did an only-ok, barely acceptable job on tasks that were not difficult...cut corners whenever possible...then promised to contact the homeowner as follow-up within 24 hours to a question that had come up (with associated additional work that would come with it)...the provider never contacted the homeowner again, and as part of the disappearing routine left one job unfinished. I know there are many out there who are worse, but I would hope there are also at least several who are much more focused than this service provider. Maybe things have improved for him...I hope so, he was a nice guy but very scattered.

"The customer the (daughter) of the (parents) were all very happy with the performance of our work "customer happy". As soon as I saw this report I contacted the customer (daughter) the one who hired us and asked her about the review. She stated that a friend of the (parents) helped them write the review. I remember the (daughter) and (parents) telling me that they had a problem with someone else. The review probably belongs to them. I know in this case it does not belong to us. After talking to the (daughter) the customer stated she would contact angies list to get this resolved and would make the adjustments afforded to her by angies list. Respectfully, Brian."

The basketball pole was cemented in the ground and about a foot or more inside the pole. He worked diligently, in the rain no less, to cut the pole down and remove the backboard from the rusted pole. He pulled out the bushes with his truck and cleaned up the debris. He was very courteous and made sure everything was right. He came out on a Saturday, after I had just contacted him on Monday, due to an issue that made it necessary to get the pole removed. I was very happy with his work and will have him back for some other jobs.

Brian is my new go-to handyman service. He returned my phone call immediately, arrived with all tools and different fasteners necessary to do the job, took great care to install the grab bars at just the right height and angle for my mother, worked fast, and cleaned up all dust with a shop vac. My mom was impressed that he installed the bars in the shower surround without cracking the tile. His rates are super-reasonable. I would definitely recommend Brian's handyman services.

The work went very well. Brian is careful and does the job right. My home is older and neither doorway was square. Brian was prepared for this and he was able to install both doors and make them look good. A real plus is the care Brian uses when cleaning up when the job was done.

Brian came to our house and I had a front screen door that needed to re-adjusted so that it would automatically shut and latch when opened. He had to add some fasteners and re-align the door. The door works fine now. I certainly will ask Brian back out to do other items as they arise.

They caulked around the window sills, repaired a light fixture, installed an exterior light, repaired a drawer, and some other services. They sent two people for four hours and they followed the list we made. We got everything done, minus a few things. No additional fees, but I did have to purchase a new light fixture for them to install. I plan to call them back out and I'll ask for the same people because they were great!

We love Brian and his team! They know what they are doing, work very hard, and are pleasant and professional throughout. They succeeded in moving our new washer and dryer down the narrow stairs of our very old house, when others had given up. They don't ever complain or say I don't think that is possible - they just get to work. They are also willing to work with you on scheduling (example: we needed a cabinet and door removed in our kitchen to accommodate a new refrigerator being delivered and with very short notice, Brian was able to come out and do it), and he will also help coordinate other professionals as needed (example: dryer installation required a new electrical line, and Brian scheduled a licensed electrician so that all I had to do was let him in the house). Also, they were very respectful of our dog, after we told him we didn't want to disturb the dog more than absolutely necessary. They remembered and each time they moved to a new place in the house they asked where the dog was and if it was OK to go ahead. We were very impressed with Brian and will not hesitate to use them again.

Scheduling and getting an estimate was a bit of a struggle. They came out for the estimate the same day they wanted to start the work. I was given an oral estimate, so I was good with that. However, when he told me they were almost done, there was no drywall installed over the concrete blocks in the basement, which was the main reason I hired them. Once I told one of the drywall workers that I expected drywall in the finished basement, he needed to contact Brian. Okay no problem, Brian was to call me before they did any additional work to discuss options and price. Brian did not contact me, moved forward with the "fix" by adding more "beams" obviously lighter weight to move the "walls" out to meet the basement connectors. Once all was completed the cost went up a little over $700.00 of what had been verbally given to me. I had to have them stop working before I got the "new" estimate. When they added the new beams for the drywall, my drop ceiling now lays in the middle of window. I was very pleased with the outcome of the replacement and staining of bedroom door, and the drywall in the master bedroom.
They cleaned up every night before they left (loved that!) and removed probably 98% of the trash.
I have and would definitely use them again, I just made sure we both understood what was expected to be done and a written estimate prior to starting the job.

Brian was very responsive when we inquired about whether he would able to do the work. We were under a time crunch and so he was able to schedule the work quickly. On the first day, they came out and were able to repair the hole(s) made by the plumber and did a very nice job with drywall and plastering the seams. The biggest challenge had to do with our textured ceiling, which is notoriously difficult to match (not just our pattern, any pattern) and finding the "topping" compound that matched our ceiling most closely. One the first visit, they attempted to match the texture 3 times, without any prompting from us, as it didn't match as closely as we would like. After the final attempt, we agreed to wait for it to dry and then re-evaluate the need for recompleting the texturing. After a couple days, it became apparent that the color would not match (new compound was more gray than white) and the texture was very different from our ceiling. So we called Brian on a Thursday or Friday and expressed our concerns. He called back quickly, as before, and was able to schedule to come out the on the following Tuesday (Christmas Eve) after he doing more research and investigation about the topping compound and the texture brush (I sent him photos of the ceiling texture and the holes prior to the first time, at his request, to provide a more accurate estimate). On the 2nd visit, they had brought a new compound and a new texture brush. During this visit, they sanded down the prior work (a little dusty and nothing was covered) and then started again with the new materials and equipment. The results of the 2nd visit were much, much better (and were commented on by a painter as being really very good work)- the color was very close and the texture was probably as good as it was going to get. So, overall, we were very happy with their work, particularly their interest and effort in doing their best and getting it right. We do wish they had done a little more research or pre-planning before their 1st visit to make sure they got the color and pattern correct. Some of this may have been due to our tight timeline, but if that step is necessary or important to do beforehand, then it is important to let the customer know (especially if we don't have that knowledge about what is needed).
