The nerve of some people. I’m busy giving my current customers the quality attention they paid for and deserve. I work BY MYSELF and I am often overwhelmed With tasks and logistics. If I haven’t called you back guess what IM BUSY.

Description of Work: Terrible experience and horrible work! $750 wasted and went down the drain. It will cost over $1500 to hire a professional carpenter to remove and redo the work they did! They also caused damage to my neighbor property. I hired Jason for 8 hours to repair some rotted areas in the windows sill and nose. He requested to be hired for 16 hours to complete the work. I agreed. He and his co-worker spent about 7 hours in my house (i.e. both about 14 hours). In which, long time spent in unloading and loading their tools, as well as, on the phone apparently fighting with other unsatisfied customer. They only worked on half the work that we agreed that they complete. Furthermore, they did not even finish what they started working on, left it unfinished. They were however paid in full! I will not use again!

His communications were excellent, timely, and professional. I hope he heals quickly so I have the chance to work with him in the future.
Description of Work: I had scheduled a full day of handyman services, however the individual who was going to come out was in an accident, and thus was no longer able to fulfill the agreement. He let me know well in advance of the scheduled time to perform my service which gave me time to request a refund from Angie's List (I had purchased a special Deal).

Jason is very responsive and professional. We found his name on Angie's List because we wanted roll out shelving installed in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets of an older home my parents purchased and were remodeling before moving in. Jason communicates his plans, talks about options, and gets the job done on time and within budget. He worked with us to find the most economical options for installing some pre-made shelving. He did the measurements and ordered the shelving. He had a workman doing some of the installation. Sometimes they worked together and other times just the other workman was on site, but in either case, the work was done carefully and neatly. They took care to install the shelves properly, and also did some extra projects as needed since this was a whole house remodeling project they were in the middle of. Jason is very helpful, polite and reliable. Combined with his excellent work, he's a great choice for carpentry and the other kinds of work he can do. We trust that if he says he can do it, he will, and the work will be done properly.
Description of Work: Jason installed roller drawers and shelving inside kitchen and bathroom cabinets in a home we were doing some remodeling for my senior parents to move into.

When I talked with the vendor, he asked me to measure the areas and take pictures to save him time. Also, said "we" don't like these deals but Angie's List makes us do them. Very unprofessional. I called AG and received a refund.

Response from Golden Rule Carpentry
I sometimes request homeowners to text me or email pictures of the repairs to facilitate a productive discussion about their projects. I spoke with (removed member name) once on the phone. Communication was difficult. Unfortunately, she never communicated to me any disagreement or frustration with the situation, thus I was never given an adequate opportunity to address any of these issues that suddenly appeared in this review. I never performed any of the work or stepped foot in the home nor met the customer in person. Unprofessional indeed.

I was very pleased with the job. It took longer tan he had anticipated, but he stayed with it, and did a great job. It was obviously more expensive than the "deal".....but it went way beyond the initial plan. Jason told me from the first visit that my crawl space was larger than the size I had paid for. But the money from the deal was used toward the final expense. If you need to have a dry, clean crawl space, give Jason a call. He'll fix you up. He also recommended a couple of other things that needed to be done under the house. I asked him to send me a list of what needs to be done, in the order it's needed, and what he would charge me. He said he could do the jobs, but I should see if I ould find someone who does these things regularly, and maybe do them for less.
Description of Work: I hired Jason to replace the old plastic sheeting in the crawl space of my house. There was debris under there, and the plastic had been down for at least 30+ years. It was thin and ripped. The job was more involved than he anticipated, but he hung in there and did everything that needed to be done. I asked questions, and he was very truthful and helpful, even if I didn't want to hear it! The crawl space is very tight, and Jason's assistant didn't like closed in spaces, so Jason spent 2 days working by himself under the house. He took pictures to show me before and after work, and came back today when I spotted a missing vent cover. He fixed a hole in the block, and it now have a clean, dry crawl space. The material he used was thick and should last many many years.

I called Jason because we were having a problem with some rope tiles that were always coming loose. Jason came down and told us what the problem was and how he would fix it. He did the job to our satisfaction and at a decent price. We are very pleased with his work and it seems our problem is fixed. Thank you Jason.

This is a great guy with a wonderful since of responsibility for getting the job done correctly! The area around the house looked like no one had been there! The siding and the rotted material were replace and this guy went a little further into the wall to make sure everything was solid and secure before attaching the siding. It was calked and painted very professional and we are very happy in the outcome of this project. I'm definitely having him come back and do some more work on the inside later this winter.

Jason and his crew were very prompt and courteous while the work was being done. The crew took off all the old and rotted siding and trim and went a step further to replace some of the older bracing and studs to make sure it was secure and solid. He did not charge for the extra work but we paid a bonus for his time and material. All the wood and trash was removed and the area looked like it wasn't touched. He did an excellent job with replacing the siding and finish painting to match the existing area. The outside of our home looks great! I would highly recommend him again.
