About us

Valley Home Services is a small home interior repairs and custom cabinetry company, established in 2002, and is licensed and insured. I am mostly a one man operation, however, I do use a licensed and insured electrician, plumber, roofer, and any other contractors I may need. My State of PA license number is 43-1999411, I carry $1Mil. of liability insurance and a copy is available upon request. I charge an initial consultation fee of $25, which will be waived upon award of your project. My rates are normally $40/hr for one man, $50/hr for 2, however, right now, it is $30 for one man & $40 for 2 until further notice. For any project over $200.00, I will submit a proposal to you. Sometimes I don't know how long something will take, and we can discuss terms when this happens. I offer a 10% senior citizens discount, as well as for Angie's List members. I also offer to all of my clients free of charge annual hazardous waste recycling once a year.

Valley Home Services is a joke, the owner and sole employee does half decent work that he over charges for and takes longer then expected on. I hired him to work on my home and projects came out half done and over promised, he was not able to complete many of the tasks to my satisfaction and went weeks over due. We started working with one price and they changed over time, as well as he would originally bill by his hours worked but would leave for personal errands and take personal calls while "still on the clock." The service then changed to per job where he found extra charges and tried to double bill me for services previously rendered. The real kicker is that he was caught red handed talking with one of my friends about me in my own home, talking about how I couldn't afford him and that I was a horrible person to have worked for. Hew was in my house talking bad about his client. Bottom line is if you want someone who is slow, overpriced and lacks business ethics then you can contract Valley Home Services for your contracting needs.
Description of Work: He was hired to perform general contracting work in the second floor of my home. This included drywall, painting, trim work, wood work, and finishing touches. It was 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and hallway work.

Response from Valley Home Services
There are two sides to every story. Here's mine. First off, I felt pressured to set rates below normal because I was told he had friends that could do the work for free, he just couldn't get them there. I needed work, so I felt this was ok to do. So, if anything, I undercharged him, not overcharged. As for the unsatisfactory work, he never told me that. As for the personal time and calls "on the clock", I removed time for that from the invoices, also, those calls were pertaining to my mother who was dying in the hospital, and he knew that at the time. Some projects took longer than expected because I was trying to find help, and had trouble. Also, he went away a lot and told me that I would have to wait until he got back to keep going. As for the extra charges, there are almost always extra charges when you're doing a renovation, and the one example of double billing was because it was a mistake due to him being out of the house for a couple of months over the holidays and it simply slipped...I didn't "try" to do anything like that.If naything, there were many things I did for no charge at all. As for me talking to his friend about him, his friend was doing the same thing. Also, the customer "bugged" his own house by installing a programmable door lock with a microphone in it with web access. What paranoid person does that in this neighborhood? I grew up very near there, my pediatrician was right across the street, and I know for a fact that that is a pretty good neighborhood that doesn't warrant that kind of bugging of your own house! He already has a dog, get an alarm! I don't know why, maybe he's paranoid. I do know that the day this happened, I was calling it my last day anyway, because a few weeks prior, he quit his job for no apparent reason, and suddenly began pinching pennies and wanting a price for everything I did, and my pricing was already lower than I charge other clients, so I thought it was best for me to part ways because he was starting to have his friends do things that I thought I would be doing. Look, I have an excellent rating with another company(Servicemagic) for 5 years now, and have never had any problems like this with anyone over the last 10 years, so if you want to use this one instance to judge a company, then that's your choice. I'm sorry that things didn't work out, but not everything does end well.
