Get matched with top handymen in Marienville, PA

"The BEST workmanship, honesty, integrity that I have ever had. Great to work with. Kept me informed on all aspects of the job. I have told everyone that I know about him. I will definitely use him again and give him a raving review to everyone that is interested in getting work done. He definitely went above and beyond my expectations! My roof looks fabulous!"

"I found him through Angis and called twice to verify that he had good ratings. I should have be leery from the start when he could not look me in the eye and gave me an undated piece of notebook paper when I gave him 500$ to start the job. About a week later they framed in the porch and steps. Then he texted me Easter morning that he would pour the cement that week but needed the 500$ to pay for the cement. And he wanted me to leave a check in my mailbox. (I will send screen shots of texts. (I only spoke with him once on the phone when I asked him to come here so I could meet him and give him the deposit. The rest were all texts except the 3-4 times we spoke at the house. I reminded him of our agreement - 1/3 of payment to start, 1/3 of payment at halfway point and the rest at completion. Then i heard from him again the Tuesday after Easter saying they would pour the cement Wednesday or Thursday but needed the $ for the cement. I again said no money until more work was done as per agreement. Then he texted at 7:21 am at work again saying he needed money to pour cement. I immediately called him & it went straight to voicemail and I left him a message saying no more money until he did more work . (At this point, they had only framed in the area with 2x4 lumber and some mounting screws. I also told him to call me back because I was at work and I didn’t have time to go and forth back-and-forth via text all day. Then he proceeded to text me more about how much the cement cost and how he needed the money to buy the cement and that he had spent the deposit money of $500 on bills. The initial 500$ payment on notebook paper said it was for supplies. I indicated that it was not my concern how much the cement costs nor was it my concern what he did with the deposit or anything else & that we had an agreement in writing. I also said it didn’t make a sense. How if I gave him a check in the morning how he was gonna turn that into buying cement since it would take two days for the check to clear. He also had changed his mind from mixing the cement themselves with metal so it held up longer to having it delivered. He also was allegedly making the handrails at their shop during this period as well. He said they would be solid and better and cheaper than that “ Chinese crap” that would have cost me 2k. He also give me a long list of accomplishments & credentials etc and how they were an all American business and I was gonna get my moneys worth.. So they finally did pour the cement and I then gave him 500$ more. He said it had to set a few days then they would be back to put up the railings. During this period they had left a wheelbarrow with a flat tire and 1/2 full of cement that we could t even move. We also threw out the carpet that had been sitting in front yard since the first day of work and now covered with some cement . We disposed of that ourselves. I was tired of waiting and did not know why they left it. So almost a week after they poured the cement, they were back putting up tailing when I arrived home from work. The railings that were up looked older and rusty and certainly not recently handmade?! Then they welded them together and spray-painted them getting spray paint on the cement on our front door, etc . I don’t know why they wouldn’t have been painted at the shop before they were put up. I was gonna address some of these concerns with them cause I saw they were starting to clean up went up to use the restroom and I was gonna take my son to work and I came down and they were gone. And part of the base of railing base was absent. Mind you they have been out here several times to take all the measurements for this stuff in our professionals all allegedly. And then texted saying they would be out to finish railings. They needed another piece. So then they came out, finished it and disappeared again. Then they returned for the final payment and I expressed many of these concerns to him. He said the that’s the railings naturally just turn rusty color. And didn’t have much to say about the other concerns that I wrote here and that I told to him. So who is like so you don’t wanna pay for all of this and I was like no not the full price. So yes what I would give them and I said how about 400 and he seemed to jump at that. Then I asked him for an invoice please what you gave me which wasn’t very detailed or anything but just verified I gave him $400. I didn’t even thank him. I just said Sia as he and his partner was sitting in their truck out front. Well, the main reason is higher than was because they were on Angis and because I was told by two different people from Angis that they got great reviews. I find it hard to believe based on my entire experience how we got more than two stars on any other job. I’m not satisfied with how the job was completed how it looks now and I’m not very optimistic about how long the railings are gonna last or what they’re gonna look like in a few months or next summer. I’m not sure what could be done in regards to railings unless he came back and put up new good railings but then I’d have to take it out of cement and everything else… I also feel that I overpaid for the project although I know the cement was a high part of the cost cost of the project. I also thought it was strong arm tactics, which I told him and unprofessional how he was blowing up my phone asking for a $500 before we could or would pour the cement. I think it would be fair to ask for $400 back and some kind of assurance that these railings were gonna last based on what I saw ( I sent you pictures- I did not get a picture of the railings before they painted them). I also would like to prevent any other customers from going through an ordeal like this. I don’t know how legitimate or good this business really is. It did get done, but like I said, I’m not too pleased, but the outcome or their entire process. I’ve dealt with many contractors and never had one like this before."

"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"Where do I even begin!? They showed up an hour early. With plenty of heads up. He was very understanding when I didn’t see the notification that they were running early. Tino was very friendly and jovial. One of those people who you couldn’t imagine ever having a bad day. He and his partner got to work in the scolding hot, almost 100 degree day and finished our beautiful play set in 4 hours! He made sure to ask if it was in the spot I liked before anchoring it to the ground. I couldn’t be happier. It is very well built. Thank you guys SO much!"

"I really couldn’t be any less satisfied with my experience with B & E Roofing. My roof began leaking in 2018 and I gave the job to B & E. Two years later, after finding black mold along the wall in my son’s closet, I realized my brand new roof was leaking in an entirely different location from the original leak. Long story short, I had B & E come back to my house 3 times, each time they promised me it was fixed, and now almost another year later, it is still leaking. I will be calling another roofing company tomorrow morning to come out and see what they think (I have since had this other company replace my garage roof and they did a fabulous job…and it doesn’t leak). Unbelievable."

"Mark, and his men did great work. The price was very fair, and they came out when they said they would. The job was finished on time. The work was A+, everything went well. I already have another job for them to do next spring."

"Rick at Epic took our deposit money and guaranteed a max amount would be withheld if we backed out our project. After receiving a quote that was $70k over our budget, which he said he could work within our budget and would not provide a quote without deposit, we decided to back out. During the whole process Epic cancelled or rescheduled meetings at the last minute several times and was overall unresponsive. Epic the billed us double what they initially said would be the max. After much discussion they finally agreed to honor the original agreement. Since then, they have not sent any additional refund that was agreed upon and have stopped responding to communication. This was our first experience with a home builder and the worst experience I’ve had with any vendor of any kind. There are plenty of builder options, STAY AWAY FROM EPIC!!!"
