Home Solutions Handyman

House Doctors Hanydman Service provides a good service. The work took longer than they thought it would to complete. They were very thorough and professional and I would use them again.

There were no problems with the roof after the repairs, or since. Am completely satisfied.

The gentleman that came out was very courteous, polite and helpful and gave me lots of information. I would definitely recommend them to others.

When Mr. Nutley returned on Monday, March 9, the homeowner pointed out that the framing would not create plumb walls. Mr. Nutley noted that the roof joists were not plumb. The furring strips, he said, did not look plumb because he had nailed them to the joists. The homeowner, an experienced carpenter, pointed out that Mr. Nutley's later drywall could fulfill the conditions of the contract only if he were either to shave or to shim the furring strips. Mr. Nutley agreed that what the homeowner was suggesting was true, and acknowledged that it would mean going back and shaving the furring strips to make them plumb. The homeowner replied, "That's what we expect." Mr. Nutley did not subsequently correct the framing. The resultant wells were off by more than 1" in some places. Prior to his painting them, on March 10 the homeowner's wife once again pointed out to Mr. Nutley that the walls were not plumb. Instead of a person not being "able to tell that these skylight wells were added," the wells instead gave the strange appearance of parallelograms above the rectangles of the room's other windows. Mr. Landon was then called to the scene before the job was completed. The homeowners complained that the work was not well done, nor was the quality that which was agreed upon in the contract. Mr. Landon replied that it was "good enough for dry wall work" and " wait until it's painted to see how it looks." After it was painted, it looked no better. The homeowners asked Mr. Landon to return to see the finished job. The morning of March 17 the homeowner's son measured the length, width, and plumbness of every surface. He found them to be demonstrably off and in clear violation of the contract. He also discovered that the paint and drywall mud had already begun cracking in several places in both wells. Later in the morning, Mr. Landon arrived and was apprised of this. Mr. Landon inspected the wells and said he found nothing wrong with them. In fact, he told the homeowner, a senior citizen with arthritis who has difficulty climbing ladders, that he didn't even see anything wrong with the paint or drywall mud from on top of the ladder. Only when the homeowner's son once again climbed the ladder and pointed out several spots did Mr. Landon agree to fix the drywall mud and painting. Yet despite the fact that the well walls were at an angle and of different dimensions, Mr. Landon asserted that what he saw constituted the acceptable construction of new skylights in a new house. When the homeowner once again noted that Mr. Nutley could have corrected this problem earlier in his work, Mr. Landon replied, "That's not what we agreed on." He then replied that fixing Mr. Nutley's errors to fulfill the contract drawn up by House Doctors would constitute "working for free" and threatened to put a Lien on the house. The homeowner now must hire someone else to re-construct the skylight wells correctly.

I was very impressed with the professionalism of Dan and his staff. They were polite, responsive, and made sure I was satisfied with the completed job. I highly recommend House Doctors.

I was extremely please with response and professionalism of Dan and his staff. They were knowledgable, and thorough. I woul dhighly recommend House Doctors

Don was very polite, professional and on time. He seemed very knowledgeable and I felt comfortable with the kind of work I could expect from the company. However, his quote came back three to four times more expensive ($1600 vs $400 & $500) than two other Angie's List companies I received quotes from. For that reason I did not choose to go with House Doctors.

Excellent! These people are incredible.

They did very excellent work for us. It was well worth the price. They were very responsive and thorough. This was a messy job and they were very good about the clean up, too. After they finished the job we got a thank you note in the mail. The note had a discount because we found them on Angie's List and it was more than enough to pay for our subscription. We'll use them again if we need to.

They couldn't help me but they were professional and I wouldn't hesitate to call them again.

We did not have work done by this contractor. I felt the estimate provided for the services was significantly higher than it should have been. We have had a few individual specialized contractors come out and do various projects around our home. In fact we had the original certified electricians that had helped to build our home come out and install 6 recessed lights plus a switch in our morning room. They charged $75 per light and $50 for the extra switch. It was a more difficult job since there was a finished sitting room above the morning room and they could not tear down the drywalled ceiling. I asked House Doctors for an estimate to place a total of 6 recessed lights in our bedroom and adjacent sitting room with two switches. This area unlike the lower level has an unfinished attic above for easy access. The job is actually simpler to do then the one done by the original electricians. The estimate I got was for over $1500 for what I estimate to be 6-7 hours of work. This was over 300% higher and more than what many medical doctors make per hour. I actually emailed them to ask why the estimate was so high, informing them of my previous experience with a certified electrician and the rate I was charged. That was about 6 weeks ago. No one from House doctors has replied to date to my email. I didn't loose anything, but time in this situation. But I am surprised to see this company ranked as high as it is on Angie's List. I am afraid that if my experience is the norm then a lot of people are paying way too much for this type of service.

The insurance company thought that the charge was reasonable. It took just a day or two to do the job. They were pretty fast. Because they had to co-ordinate with the roofer, it did take about a month for them to get to us to do the job, but that was not their fault. They did an OK job, but one complaint that I have against them is that I asked them to come back as the the ceiling beams did not totally match. They never did get back to me on that. They also seemed very concerned in the beginning that I was maybe too far away from them to come to look at the job. They almost wanted me to guarantee that I would give them the job before they came out. Subsequently, they did not want to come back to look at the job after it was finished because of the distance. The distance was about 30 miles.

Great. We received a quote from Dan. Steve and Mike came to do the work. Everything went as planned, except the exterior garage door was not ready from the supplier on time. It was no problem, they came back and installed it as soon as possible. All three were very professional and on time. It was a pleasure to have them doing the work.

I had just joined Angie's List and found Dan Landon under the Handyman section. I was very impressed with him on the phone, he came out the next day to give me a bid (on the spot! I didn't have to wait) and we were able to set up the work for the week after that. His worker was on time and very courteous to both me and my tenant. I would definitely use them again.

The two workmen arrived timely to review the work that needed to be done. They left to pick-up supplies and I left to go to work. The workmen called me at work to let me know the job was about done. I ran home reviewed the work and paid them. I was extremely pleased with their work. The new columns look great, the quality of the columns is excellent and the two workman were very professional. The whole process was very smooth, no problems! I was so pleased that I called them back and they are going to install an exterior door next week.

Did a good job. The window does not leak anymore. They came when they said they would and made the repairs they quoted. I think they are expensive but they are dependable and do what they say they will. I would use them again.

We did not have the work done by HouseDoctors. The price seemed a little high for what was to be done. We decided to do some of the work ourselves.

This happened about 4 PM on Thursday so I made several calls from Angies list of recommended handymen. Dan returned my call very promptly and agreed to send someone out already Friday which we thought was VERY responsive. They (2 men) arrived as scheduled on Friday about noon, left to pick up the lumber they needed and put everything up and in working order by 2 PM. We were very pleased with the promptness and the quality of work. We did not miss one day of mail service! But since I was the person that called House Doctors, I got a lot of grief because of the price they charged! As I said, the promptness and quality of work were very good but the price was exorbitant for 2 hours work (and the price did not include new mailboxes). They won't be hearing from any of my neighbors again, I know that for sure.

The wood on my back door was exposed with some minor damage from dog scratches. When Dan came over to give me an estimate, we discovered some additional wood rot and loose caulking. Dan was to have Fritz fix the wood door frame, replace the weather stripping, recaulk the entire door assembly, repaint the entire door frame, and attach a jamb shield so dogs could not scratch up the jamb again. The only thing that remained to do was to tighten down the jamb shield once the paint dried. Also, when Dan came to give me an estimate, I received a copy of all of his pertinent paperwork (insurance, workers comp, etc) to give me piece of mind for the quality of work they do.

The response to original phone call and when work was performed was excellent. Everyone was very professional. I was very pleased with work completed. I would use them again.

He came and fixed a long light going across a mirror in a bathroom. it kept sliding down the wall. I've had people out here quite a few times and after about 6 months, it would start to slide again. He came out and its been up for about a year and its still holding! I've been pleased with his work.

I received a $519.00 written quote from Mr. Larson to replace six (6) asphalt shingles on the low pitched roof of my single story detached garage, damaged by the recent wind storm. The base bid included labor, materials, and disposal of the debris. Should the job warrant replacement of any shingles over an above the initial six covered by the base bid, there would have been an additional cost of $45.00 each. Needless to say, I was stunned by the amount of the bid. In the end, I, a rather handy 58 year old female, did the job myself in less than 2-1/2 hours at a cost of $24.00. The small amount of debris fit in a kitchen-sized garbage bag, and was hauled away with the rest of my trash earlier this week. In doing the job, it was necessary to replace three (3) more shingles than expected. At the price Mr. Larson wanted to charge, it would have cost over $650.00, or $261.60 an hour. I have no problem with someone making a profit, but the House Doctors quote was absolutely ridiculous.

They were excellent. They were professional and knowledgeable. They were a little high priced but it was well worth it. They were courteous and polite. I would highly recommend them.

They did really basic things in our home we moved in that was kind of older, just to get us ready to get moved in. They switched the wiring in our dining room and only one of the switches work now. With the plumbing, they somehow put the faucet on backwards. We had to have them come back and redo that. I thought they were very expensive and we didn't appreciate the work.

This is a company that I highly recommend for services. Very thorough, punctual and the quality was what I was hoping for. I even called back because the caulking was not adhering properly and both the service technician and myself were able to work out the details to get it fixed the right way!! No questions asked!!
