McKinley could not be nicer! Even gave us a hand pulling out a spiral staircase. He's super fast and I plan to ask him to come back next week and do more!

My experience with John has been very positive. He is always on time and on budget. He works hard to make sure the job is done right.

I live in Charlotte North Carolina and contacted Craftsman On Call about doing work at my mothers house down there in Columbia South Carolina. Brian called me back the same day I left a voicemail, and we scheduled a time for him to go and take a look so he could provide an estimate on the work. After receiving the estimate and hearing that my mother, who is in her late 70s felt comfortable with Brian I scheduled a time for him to do the work. Brian showed up on the day and time in which he told me and he performed the work all in one day. Please note, that the house where the work was done was built in the 1950s and required him to climb into the attic and run new wiring to the new outlets, and crawl underneath the house to run the venting from the laundry room.
After Brian installed the dryer venting, he installed the new dryer that I had Lowes deliver. I personally have not seen the work yet but my mother is very happy and she was very happy with Brian and the work he did.
I would definitely recommend Brian and will use him again in the future.

It was an excellent experience. They arrived early, got straight to work and didn't take a break to go get parts. He came prepared to do the work and cleaned up after himself as well.

It went well. They came out the day after I bought it. John Stanley came with his technician came and did the 8 hours of work. I was very pleased with them. I would recommend them. They realized they were going to be late to our appointment, so they called ahead to let me know, which I appreciated.
Response from Craftsman On Call
"We enjoyed meeting you! And glad everything was to your satisfaction :) We do try to make it on time, but rest assured, if we are running late, we will let you know when to expect us! look forward to more projects in the future!"

Indeed great! They were just very friendly, outgoing and willing to do whatever. We ran into a couple of road blocks so I had to get into the store and pick up a couple of more pieces and merchandise. Those things weren't exactly working out but other than that everything was great. I had all the materials here so they were just doing labor.
Response from Craftsman On Call
"We had a great experience with you as well, i think everything turned out ok? maybe a phone transcription-typo, but we are looking forward to helping out again soon!"

John Stanley set up the appointment for 9:30 -10:00 but he actually arrived at 9:00 which is a first for me. Most workers in my experience have arrived late. He asked what I needed done and what my priorities were. I gave him a rundown and showed him where my supplies were and he got to work. John worked for eight straight hours without stopping. He asked when there were decisions that I needed to make, but otherwise knew what he was doing. If he ran into a problem, he creatively solved it. He cleaned up behind himself leaving me to put knick knacks back in place. Everything looks great and John was personable and professional. I definitely will hire him again.

I placed a call to Craftsman on Call & 2 days later received a call
back from Ron Callahan. We set up for him to come over to view my to-do
list. Ron is very respectful and friendly. He looked things over -
even stopping to work on my panel folding door AND helping take down my
bathroom fan cover for me to clean.
Ron came by Wednesday, Feb.
13 to start work on my list. He repaired a light in my garage that had
been out for about 3 years! I had started to look at repairing it
& quit when I realized it was beyond my experience. Ron also
repaired my two garden gates. I have a non-functioning attic fan &
he advised me he could fix/replace it but since I will be getting a new
roof then incorporate a venting system into that - thus cutting him out
of extra$$
I am so glad to have someone I can count on for future projects. I have
plenty more for him to do and will be calling him again. He emailed me
a list of the jobs with the costs so I know ahead what I'm looking at.
I chose Craftsman on Call because of the glowing reports on Ron's
service & they kudos are well deserved.

Overall very satisfied with the work completed on my house. On the inital visit for the estimate for my list of projects, Ron repaired the tile ceiling in my den. He sent me a written estimate for the various projects a couple of days later. Due to my busy schedule Ron made a few visit to complete all the work. Ron and Laryy came out in early October to tear out the linoleum in my entire kitchen and carport entry area. They arrived as scheduled were very nice and professional. They had to move my major appliances since I was unable and level two areas of my floor in order tor the new floor to be laid. The job turned out to be more than estimated but Ron kept to his estimated price for the job. They cleaned up and hauled off all the trash for me. On the next visit a couple of weeks later Larry arrived as scheduled to pressure wash my carport, front porch, and the wrought iron colums for both. During the process Larry went ahead and washed the gutters and windows across the front of the house. Also Larry repaired several holes in my drywall/plaster. In mid November Ron came out to install the water line for the icemaker which was completed quickly but during the installation he discovered a problem with my drain pipe under the house. He did a temporary fix so that I could contact the company that replaced my pipe a year earlier. Because I was unable to come to an agreement with the company for the repair I contacted Ron back to make the repairs for me. My house has a combination of PVC and cast iron pipes. Ron.didn't think he would need to cut the cast iron to complete the repairs but did. He arranged to come out that Saturday to complete the repairs. I had one last project on the list for him that we decided to hold over until next year since we were getting into the holiday season. I found Ron to be fair, friendly, and honest. I look forward to working with Ron and crew on my doors and waiting on an estimate for another project I hope to complete in the early part of next year.

Ron called back immediately to ask what I needed completed and we scheduled a time to meet at the house to get an estimate; while he and Larry were there they fixed several items that were on the list and took inventory of the remaining items to come back to finish up. They came back a week later (due to my schedule) and completed everything on my list. They were professional, polite and the work was excellent. I would definitely recommend his services again and will call then next time I have a project!

I found Craftsmen on Call on Angies list and called for help with my to-do list of some miscellaneous home repairs. I left a message on a recorder. Two days later, Ron Callahan returned my call. I was somewhat confused because his name was not listed by any of the previous Angies List reviewers or on the Craftsmen on Call website. It appears that Cratftsmen on Call is run by someone who simply receives calls and subs them out to other contractors/handymen in the area. At that point, I felt a little uneasy and wondered if I should go ahead. However, Ron seemed like an enthusiatic guy so I went ahead to have him out for an estimate.
I did hire Ron to do the work and I am glad I did. Ron and his helper Larry took care of the items on my list in two trips to my house. They had some good suggestions on my projects and did good quality work. Ron is pleasant to work with. They showed up to work when they said they would. It took about 2 1/2 weeks from initial discussion to get the work done. I would not hesitate to use them again.

McKinley worked every day until the work was completed. He was on time and I never had to worry if he was on the site working.I even left town for NASA training and talked to him over the phone from Washington while the projects were being completed.Both list took about a week. Putnam Steet

Terry and Jason did a fantastic job. All the work was done very professionaly and ond time and budget. It was amazing to see someone pay so much attention to detail. I have lived in Columbia for 10 years and have become very disappointed with contractors who don't call back when called and others who do sub standard work.. The opposite is true of Terry and Jason. Ihighky recommend their services.
