Home Solutions Handyman

Dan Landon did an excellent job walking around the house and noticing things that could be repaired. There were several things I knew needed done, but I forgot about, and he caught them on his walk through. I like that attention to detail. Two men came out and prefomed the work. Both were very professional and I would have them back anytime. They performed the work efficiently and repaired everything as promised.

After reading reviews on Angies list, I selected this professional. He was prompt and courteous, and the job was not easy as we have high ceilings. After some e-mails, two workers showed up on time n the day appointed and carried out the work with minimal supervision. Ceiling in my office was painted to a high standard with good preparation to protect all surfaces from paint. Two chandeliers were changed out with zero damage to either new or old fixtures. Later the owner contacted me to say he had factored in the paint in his estimate and invoice (which I had in fact purchased) and will be issuing a $50 refund. Stunning honesty in this day and age!

We were pleased by the knowledge and expertise of the two contractors and the great attitude. Dan Landon, himself, handled the repairs for the hot water heater and spray attachment. Another professional dry wall contractor, Mike, did the drywall and painting. The area of the drywall that needed repair now looks great and the color match was excellent! Thank you, Home Solutions Handyman!

Great from beginning to end. Dan came over on time to create the estimate and was very knowledage concerning all types of home repair. He was also very professional in the delivery of the quote. He sent it online, a few hours after his visit with all his documentaton for bonding, et al. I also liked that his team are employees. not subs. Mike is sensational. Very personal to my husband and I but knows what he is there for yet great at light chatter which is important to me as I need to be comfortable with anyone in our home. Mike started with the door and then intellignetly mixed other small tasks between priming, painting,grouting (which I asked for) and the flooring work. This ensured that he was busy all the time, moving through his work order in a logical fashion optimizing his time. We would work with this company at any tme. Very very happy with the work and the entire experience!

The entire staff is highly reliable and professional. Dan works flexibly and respectfully to the needs of the homeowner, and looks for every opportunity to save costs. His estimates remain true to the end, and he visits the job site to ensure the work and completion of the project is satisfactory. He will work in small projects, which many contractors will not even consider, because they want the big money jobs. Dan and his crew deliver the best in customer service in all jobs, small and large. They completed several remodeling jobs throughout 2011

Dan (owner) was punctual and professional. His quote didn't change even after it took about 3 months to finally get the work done. Mike (from House Doctors) was very professional, and very good. They didn't skimp on material-quality, and they also accommodated my request to get better cans for the recess lights. The electrical, dry-walling, ducting, installing the outside vent etc all went well. My only beef was with their delay in follow-up to fix a follow-up issue - a rattling noise that meant they had to take the hood apart again, and remove the safety (butter-fly) value that was hitting against the duct. It needed 8" clearance, and we had only 7" - so we ended up using a reducer to go from 8" to 6" in the duct work. We have been using the hood for about 2 months now, and no issues so far. I will definitely use them again for more work next year

Dan Landon was the most professional person of the four different estimate providers. He was knowledgeable, polite, and courteous. His crew, Chris, Jerry, and Mike, performed meticulously resulting in a superior finished product. They cleaned up after themselves and respected my property. There were some challenges I had with the permit needed and the inspections that followed. Dan went to bat for me throughout the ordeal of inspector double talk. Dan had to do extra work to meet the requirements that changed as the inspector would spring new criteria to attain. The alterations and repair work done inside are top notch! Plus, I now have the best deck on the street!

The repairs were perfectly made, and there is now no evidence that the soffits had ever been damaged. The interior repairs were also made impeccably. We supplied the paint, so we had perfect matches for both the exterior and interior jobs. The two craftsmen who carried out the work -and it was all finished in one day- were punctual, polite, and professional. I would use this company again in a heartbeat.

This work performed stopped the original leak that we hired Dan to fix. However in his second proposal, he decided to replace the rolled roof. This was not part of his original proposal and he actually started that work before we had a chance to weigh in. In good faith, we agreed and signed the proposal, which was nearly $400.00 more than his original. This rolled roof replacement actually CAUSED a huge leak over the patio roof, which was not there before his "roof replacement". So I have spent $1499.00 and still have a leaky roof, albeit in another section. Dan fixed one leak and caused another.Also he then waited atleast two weeks before returning to the property to see the new leak, although we were in town and provided pictures taken during a heavy rain. he said he could no fix the roof because it was raining. Therefore more damage has been done. Dan also promised verbally that he would not leave me hanging, yet he has purposely stalled. I am requesting a refund of the cost of the rolled roof. This money should be returnrd to paypal immediately. I originally hired Dan to provide an estimate to rebuild the back porch, as his pictures on Angies List indicate that is his specialty. However he convinced me to let him fix the leak first. My intentions were to hire a roof expert, as can be seen from my searches on Angies List. I went against advice of roof experts and hired Dan instead. I trusted Dan but he charged me for services he knew he did not have expertise in. It is only fair that Dan return immediately the cost of that rolled roof.

We had issues from the start with this company. He was suppose to remove and replace part of a gutter but kept giving excuses on why he could not do the job correctly. The contract we signed was not honored. He told us he guarantees he work and he has not followed through. I would strongly encourage people not to use his service.

Initial job was 2 partial days. Upon review, I was not happy with some aspects of the work. Dan, the owner, came out to review the work and insisted that the job was not done until we were happy. The workman was back out a few days later for two more partial days to re-execute and in the end I was happy with the work. Despite the need for re-work, I would hire them again. The situation was handled professionally and efficiently.

It looks brand new and they did an excellent job.

The process went extremely well. Dan responded to our call in less than a day and met with us for an estimate within a couple of days. The items were repaired in a very timely manner. John, the handyman, was punctual, professional, and very efficient. He offered suggestions that were better than our ideas and impleted them in short order. Dan communicated with us regularly by phone and E-mail. As we modified the list during the process, Dan and John responded immediately with our additions, deletions, and updates. It couldn't have gone any better. There were only pleasant surprises. The projects were finished on time and on estimate.

Overall I was very satisfied. House Doctors was able to give me an estimate and perform the work in a very timely manner. Everyone at House Doctors was friendly and honest. I would recommend using them for any handyman type projects.

This was the 2nd "big job" that we used Dan for. He came in and did a great assessment of all the "odds and ends" we needed to get the house back in order. Dan did a thorough review of the entire house and gave us great advice on which repairs were necessary, affordable and nice-to-have. He had 2 craftsman in our home for 4 full days and nearly every minor defect in the house that existed as a results of 8 years wear-and-tear was fixed. The guys were great - trustworthy, resourceful and very easy to get along with. As we continue to fix up the house, Dan will be the first resource that I call for any jobs around the house. Ken G.

It was very very good. They were on time, on budget, and there were no problems.

They did a great job. It was a fair price. He had good communication, and he stayed in contact with me. He was easy to get a hold of and easy to work with. He gave an estimate for the job, and he came out to do what he was going to do. He didn't change the price, and he did a really good job. He didn't cause me any problems, and he didn't have to do any work over. I didn't have any complaints with the finished product. I let him do a couple of work items in the house when I wasn't there. I was a little nervous at first, but it worked out. He certainly earned the opportunity, and he did a good job. They are reasonable and quick. They do a good job. They do quality work. He did exactly what I wanted him to do.

Approximately 7 months after the installation, one area of the caulk showed signs of problems. It looked as if the caulk was ?melting.? We contacted Dan, who sent out the same (very nice) gentleman who had done the original installation. He expressed surprise at the state of the caulk, asked what type of cleaning products we use (Method, a ?green? product), and replaced an approximately two-foot section of the caulk. Prior to the repair, he let us know that the new caulk would not be an exact match, since he didn?t have the same color that was used originally. We were just happy to be rid of the ?melted? areas. However, as time passed more of the original installation failed in the exact same fashion. By the time we contacted House Doctors in December (Dan and I spent several weeks playing phone tag, being holiday season), it was a month beyond the one-year anniversary of the original installation. But we felt that it was reasonable to expect that they would repair the remainder of the initial installation, since they had already seen and repaired the very same issue several months earlier. We sent Dan photos (which I am including with this report) to show him the state of the caulking. We were disappointed in Dan?s response. He offered to present an estimate to replace the caulk with a silicone caulk that ?should hold up better than the siliconized caulk.? When we told him we were not inclined to pay HouseDoctors to re-do the very job they had done one year earlier, he offered to send someone out to repair the caulk for $114. Again, we declined, and requested that they either replace the faulty caulking or refund our money. Dan?s response: ?I fail to understand why you are trying to make the failure of this caulk our problem. We don?t manufacture the caulk, we only install it?. Just because you had us do the work initially does not entitle you to an open ended repair on your caulk for life for free.? Actually, we just expected a "lifespan" of more than a year. The original caulk has deteriorated to the point that if needs to be completely removed and re-caulked. Seven months later, the caulk that was replaced currently shows no signs of failure. We have had no issues with the caulking around our kitchen sink.

House Doctors were very quick about scheduling and were up front on price. However all of the work took a bit longer than they said. They did sloppy work on the painting and closets and I had to have them come back to redo some of the work. They are fast and reasonably priced but their work is not detail-oriented.

They came and fixed the lights so they have the proper support to hang and provide light in my bathroom. I am happy with their service and will use them again in the future for another project.

Excellent! Dan and Mike were both troubleshooting the issue with regard to the range hood that we have in our kitchen. It was a major issue for my husband to have this repaired. Even though they couldn't repair it, the feedback that they gave us on the next steps was valuable, so we would know what to do. Same thing for some other issues that we had run into with light fixtures and an outlet, which weren't working. When things were getting a bit behind, another person showed up and helped to get the work done on time and in one day! Everything else was installed, cleaned up, and working perfectly. Very happy with the work and would definitely do business with them again.

Owner out in two days to make estimate. jerry showed up in two more days to do the power-washing. looks good and i"with his attitude and efficiency. work done on time and price was fair. looks good and i'm happy. will use again...and again.

Was not at the house for most of the work completed. The handyman was very nice though and worked with my father who has difficulty hearing. He fixed everything on the list and he ended up reinforcing a mirror in the bathroom that was starting to fall that was not on the list. Left some wood chips though around the door leading to the garage so there was some cleanup to be done.

From start to finish every thing was excellent. After I called for an estimate,Mr. Dan Landon came to the house to see what needed to be done. He came back a few days later with an estimate. There were a few things on the drawings that had to be "tweaked" and he took all of the info with him and came back a few days with an update. After a thorough explanation of what was to be done,explanation of monetary procedures and an estimated start date a contract was signed. Mike and John were the two men who performed the renovation. I can sum up their work with two words. "Total Professionals". They were always on time and if they were delayed they always called and let me know when they would be coming. They always went about their work in a professional manner and during the course of the renovation if something up came they were not sure about they would always talk to me about it before proceeding. On more than one occasion Mr. Landon would stop by to see how things were progressing and would always ask if I was satisfied with what was being done. The job was completed on time and everything was just as it was supposed to be. After the project was complete, Mr. Landon came by to make sure everything was satisfactory. He also asked me why I chose him instead of somebody else. I told him of all the other estimates I received were mailed to me with no follow up. He was the only one that came to the house with the estimate and then came back to answer my questions and get my input. That showed me he cared and that is why he got the job. Mr. Landon and the gentlemen who completed the renovation were professional from start to finish.

From the estimate through the work, they were professional and responsive. Rain delayed the start of their work, but I was kept up to date on their expected start time via email. They were able to fill in areas between bricks where mortar had worked its way out in the last 98 years. They completed the work in half a day. They matched the color of my mortar. I would recommend them to my friends and family.
