Heinly's Home Remodeling

Fred himself does decent work...it's the assistants that he hires that are half of the problem, under skilled, unsupervised , mediocre workers. During this project there were AT LEAST 5 different helpers at different times. The front door isn't square...the lock has been adjusted at least twice, still blows open. The deck boards on one porch were odd left over cuts, where the rest of it isn't. They shift too. The railing on one porch is very loose. Dry wall finishing is HORRIBLE in all the rooms he worked on. Tape has come loose from the seams, creating bubbles...the CUSTOM SHOWER WALLS were put in BACKWARDS!!!! The custom sink is SAGING because there were no supports put under it. So much more wrong than right. Fred DOES not return phone calls, has many excuses...some legit some not so much. Has money he was supposed to finish work for and never came back to fix or complete the things he PROMISED he would take care of.

The left sink drain leaks. 2. Attach knobs to kitchen sink cabinet. 3. Install a water line to the refrigerator?s ice maker. April 2015 was the last time I spoke with Fred. He came to the house to repair some of the siding which had pulled off the wall. Since then over 30 voice mails have been left on his phone. A certified letter was sent to his PO box. He has not responded to any of the attempts to contact him. In the letter sent and voice mail left we asked for a refund of the deposit made for the work yet to be done. The work that he did was great. Our new kitchen is fantastic. In the past I gave him the higest Angie list rating possible. It saddens me know to rate him as unacceptable.

My roof was 25 years old. I did not leak but was showing signs of age. The shingle "gravel" was washing off. Some of the flashing was not laying correctly. Fred's crew showed up on time and expeditiously stripped the old roof. They neatly removed the old shingles from the room and dumped them in their trailer. The new shingles installed beautifully with 4 nails per shingle. It took them 1 and half days to complete the job. They were very professional and courteous to my family. My wife was home alone with the roofing crew and felt comfortable with them at the house., She also appreciated how they cleaned up after themselves on both days. My wife is pleased with the job done. We have had 2 neighbors compliment the new roof.

At first things were going fine. The total estimate was paid. Then, contractor stopped coming to work on the project and eventually stopped before it was finished. There are many things left un-done which we had to hire someone else to complete and a few things that were said to be 'finished' had to be fixed. Now, today... one of the water lines he replaced broke open at a junction on the main water line and is running water into our newly finished basement. I would NEVER EVER hire Heinly's Home Remodeling, nor would I recommend them. He charges to much for the work that was done. Only for us to pay again to have someonelse complete the project.

I had to make phone calls to find out when he was going to come and work on it.He was always trying to fit us in.

We haven't done anything with it yet. He came out right away so he was pretty on the ball. We didn't get the quote back for a little while so that was average. The quote came in higher but we are considering them.

Fred estimated that the project would take 14 business days to complete the job, which it did. When he got behind in the job he volunteered to work on Saturday and Labor Day to ensure the job was completed on time. Fred was always punctual. He always told ahead of time the days he would be late. He was very considerate of our time. Fred took my wife shopping to pick out the items going into the bathroom, tiles and rugs. This was my wife's favorite part of the project. Everything Fred recommended was quality. Fred quickly adapted to conditions uncovered after the demo. All of the electrical wiring for the three rooms was a mess. It appears to have been done by an amateur. The old 220 drier connection was incorrectly grounded and in the middle of the drier exhaust conduit. 14 gage wire was used in places where 12 gage wire should have been used. The laundry room was a fire hazard waiting to happen. Fred ripped out all the wiring and re-wired all three rooms. He brought the electrical to code. He fixed errors in the circuit breaker box. None of this work was listed on the contract to be done. He did it without charging for it. The rest of the project went as we had planned it. He completed the laundry/bathroom first. He wanted to get the laundry back working again. Everything was done beautifully. Molding corners met cleanly. After painting the walls, you could not tell where Fred had taped the sheet rock. It was obvious the pride and skill that Fred brought to the project. When the three rooms were done, Fred ripped out the dining room floor and replaced it in a day. The last day was adding the ceiling fan in the living room. Everything was done neatly. It has been 6 weeks since he completed the project. We are still amazed and pleased with the results. My wife has the laundry area she always waned. A place out of the way to hang and fold clothes. Lots of storage for her "stuff". Me I love the entertainment center. It no longer in the sun like it was previously. The wires for the 5 speakers are run through the walls. My dog loves the new rug. Next year we would like to remodel the Kitchen. I would feel comfortable doing the Kitchen remodel on a hand shake. This is the confidence I have in Fred and his crew.
