I purchased a big deal for this service. They did not come back when they said they would. They told me they were going to call me and they did not come back. After they did some of the things that I asked them to it was very shoddy and was not what I thought it was. I was very disappointed. At first he wanted to charge me more. I had given him a list of stuff that I wanted done and most of the list was for outside work, up on the roof. He did not bring a ladder to get up on the roof. I went to all my neighbors to see if I could get a ladder so he could get up on the roof. He said he would go back home and bring a ladder back, but he was going to charge me for it, I forgot how much it was. I told him I was not going to pay him any more. He told me he had another job in my area and that he would call me to let me know when he could stop back to do the work. He never called me. I even sent him an email on my computer and he never responded. My husband says he does not want to even talk to the guy any more. I even had him put a door in and take the wood off the previous door and put it in there. I supplied him with shims and he took the shims and put it underneath there so now we have to take the door out and re-do it. We also supplied him with the foam spray that you do around the door and he did not even do that. Plus, he cut the wires to our alarm. I did not notice it until after he was gone. The price for what he did was a piece of cr*p; it was not worth it. The only thing that he did that was half-way decent was in my closet and I think he spent 10 minutes in there. He put down some flooring and installed a strip. You can't mess that up. He did not really do what he was supposed to. He also put up some trim work inside and it was crooked. He was late to get here and it was hard to get him scheduled. I had to reschedule and I appreciated him being able to reschedule. He brought somebody but that person basically sat there and did very little. He did help him put the door up, but that was about it. The big deal said it covered one person for eight hours or two people for four hours so I think he brought the other person so he would only have to stay four hours.
Finally, in late July I got a reply from them, via non-Angie's List email. We set up a time for them to come over. They showed up late. I mean like LATE. They said they tried to call but since my number had changed they were unsuccessful. That's a lick on me....that they couldn't get ahold of me via phone. However, there is no excuse for tardiness...especially when you take off work to be there to let them in. Since they were late I took a shower and didn't realize they were there until they had been sitting there for 20 minutes.
When they showed up there were two of them. They installed the fan in a short period...BUT had to use my ladder as they didn't have theirs. (What?! Really?) Then they installed the garbage disposal. Unfortunately, I had to leave to get back to work, as I was late because they were late. I asked them to take care of a couple more things because they were only coming up on an hour of the three that I purchased. The owner, Jack, said that they would be all packed up and out of there shortly after I had to leave...because of the "fact" that there were two of them and that meant they were only obligated to be there for an hour and a half...PLUS...they couldn't get a hold of me when they were late so that was my fault and they had already been there longer than their allotted 90 minutes.
So...even though both the tasks of installing a ceiling fan and installing a garbage disposal are ONE MAN JOBS they ripped me off by working 1.5 hours of the 3 that I bought, just because two people showed up for the job. AND add to that, it's my fault that those twenty minutes I was in the shower - only because they were late - and they were sitting out in front of my house, so they worked "longer" than the 1.5 hours if you include the twenty minutes.
On top of all this, to add insult to injury, they hooked the garbage disposal up to the dishwasher like it always was...but when we ran the dishwasher it didn't drain. I contacted Jack via email, the exact way he & I communicated earlier, and got not response to resolve this issue. A whole month later I had an appliance guy from Day's Appliance (great company!) and after fixing my washer I had him look at the disposal. First thing he asked is if it was a new install. When I said yes he chuckled, took out a hammer and a punch and knocked out the blocking plug on the disposal that prevents leakage IF THERE IS NO DISHWASHER. The knuckleheads from jack's neglected this one simple step, causing an overflow from the dishwasher not draining.
Do not use these guys. Period.

They worked through the day and around 2:30 I had to leave and I asked them if they would be done by 4 and they said yes. The house keeper at my house had to leave at 4 p.m. but they said they could finish the rest of the work from outside. They left piles of garbage at my house and unused pieces of materials in my house.
I had written the check out to him personally because he said he didn?t have a business account which I thought was strange. When I went inside to check on the work some of it was not completed or it was poorly done when they told me they completed everything. I texted them saying I had paid this flat rate which was for 14 hours of their typical fees even though they only did eight hours of work. I asked them when they would be able to come back out to finish the work and they never responded to me.
"She lied she did not pay me 650 she gave me a bad check in the amount 650 I went back she have me a check for 300 and she said when we came back to do the two light bulbs and nail a 4in pice of trim up that she didn't have she would give me the other money we did a lot of work for her we fixed 6 Facuets took apart 9lights re wired them sealed to hole in outside wall hung 4 towel bars minor ,a shower head 2bed lights 2 play gyms fixed light in office we hung 4 potty barn things in kitchen cut 1in off the bottom of two doors and as for the trash the maid and her said the would get it if we put it in a pile so she owes me $350 if she wants to keep $50.00 of it to have two light bulbs changed and a 4in pice of trim put up that's fine but if she does not pay me the $300.00 I'm going to file a lean on her house the take her to court because she will not re turn any calls"
They wanted to cut into the existing shower wall tile to install shelves. I explained to them the use of silicon. They were apprehensive but tried it. Of course, it worked. Despite voicing their opinions of the tile store clerk-who was excellent-that they thought knew nothing. Oh and guys, the notch in the front of the shelf..it's for water to drain from..if, that is, the shelf is slightly tilted.....nope they missed that!
They also repaired the magnetic strip that holds the shower door closed with gorilla glue that I went out and bought while they were here. They used WAY too much and made a mess. Because they did not read the package instructions.
He came out to do the estimate and knew exactly what I would need to have on hand for the two very different jobs -- installing a section of fence and replacing metal legs that support my sink. I ordered the fence sections, posts and concrete mix and he picked it up from the supplier for me.
He had a helper but he supervised whatever work he did not do himself. Both jobs were completed to my satisfaction.
I will work with him in the future.
