For the amount we paid to have living room painted, there should've been more attention to detail such as caulking cracks, spackling dents & seams along plaster wall, sanding areas where needed, painting around electrical outlet & thermostat and along wall corners. There really isn't much detail in our living room and it's not very large, so this was unacceptable. Didn't see him use any spackle for this job. Some houses you can get away with that...this isn't one of them. It's an older house that has had walls and closet built where none existed and WAS NOT done in the right way. And it's been very long time since this room was painted. He has experience painting, but doesn't have skill when it comes to spackling dents, seams, holes or other challenges. Chimney mantle surface had a lot of built-up dirt and debris that had hardened, making it difficult to clean before painting. Instead of scraping off hardened layer and smoothing it out, he painted right over it. I think he applied so much paint it wasn't drying properly. At least he did come back next day to work on it some more. The guy he brought to help him had even less skill. Worst part is, when you tell him something you want redone, he brushes it off and basically doesn't give you chance to bring it up, saying he has to rush off to nearby roof job or wherever. You should never make your customer feel like you are doing rush job or their job is not important to you. Our living room definitely looks better than it did before he painted, but when you look close-up, you don't have to be expert to spot imperfections. And again, for the amount we paid for this job, we deserved better.

Very well.  The light was installed where I can change the bulbs.  It's an extra security measure..

Dominic was on time and did a great job moving my furniture.  Some items were difficult to get around corners and up/down stairs.  Dominic ensured that everything was moved without damage.  I would use him again for other services.

It went fine. I didn't have to be there because the work was done outside. It was finished on time and they look great!

The workers seemed to be fine except that they were incompetent. I would not recommend them to others. I would not use their services again in the future.

Mr. Giles was generally very pleasant to interact with. He was cheerful and friendly. However, the work in several domains was sloppy and he was very slow and reluctant to correct things. Also when I would give him a list of things to be fixed, several times he addressed some of the items and told me he was done, but when I checked, he had not done the rest. He also did some things like taking the house numbers down and detaching shutters for painting and then disappeared for the winter without putting them back in place. When I asked him to deal with this, he said he would come right away but it took several more requests over a period of weeks before he actually did. All in all, I was disappointed.

Very well. He was very nice and we felt he was easy to work with. We especially appreciated the fact that he was able to get this repair done before it rained again and that he took the time to examine a faucet problem (we've decided to replace the entire sink and faucet) and tried to do some simple repairs (for no charge).

I was working with another company who broke a bi-fold door. Hire A Husband was outsourced by this company to install replacement bi-fold doors. Therefore, I was not responsible for payment. The owner, Dominic, called me to set up an appointment for Monday morning. He was very pleasant. I expected someone early Monday morning, so I was a bit surprised when one of the H-A-H agents called mid-day Monday to confirm. The replacement doors were purchased by the faulting company, and did not initially fit so Hire A Husband took the doors apart and cut them down to make them fit. At first glance, I was really happy with the outcome, but with a closer look I could see that the doors were not cut evenly and were not put back together evenly. When asked, he replied that the doors were "warped" although I could clearly see that this was not the case. He did not ask if I was satisfied and left. I then walked outside to find a huge pile of sawdust that was left for me to clean up.
