I called Dennis and he met me promptly during lunch-hour to give me an estimate. I approved and he started right away, doing an excellent job. I will call again for any future jobs.

WDRP honored their estimate and only charged additional amounts for work added after they started work.  They completed the work required within the agreed upon time frame, and were responsive to questions and requested changes.

Dennis picked up the phone when I called him and scheduled to see our home 3 days later.  He saw the two projects and gave me a quote for his time (cost of materials were paid off receipts).  He completed the new vent covers project the next day and came back about a week later to complete the attic project.  Dennis is very personable - a day after the last project my 4 year old boy asked when 'Mr. Handyman' was going to come again because he missed him.  If he was running late, he would call or text me.  I thought the quality of his work was very good.  I have already recommended him to our neighbor.

Dennis arrive on time and immediately started working on door.  I have had 2 other handimen try to fix the door so it would stay closed without locking it but as soon as we got a south wind the door wouldn't stay closed.  My door now closes normally and locks the the way it should.  I will hire Dennis for any work I need in the future.

He put everything back when he was done, made sure I was happy with the result and cleaned up after.  He was punctual and came when he said he would.  I was very happy and would use him again. I will recommend him to my friends.

Gentleman came to fix the front and back doors for an older, disabled woman.  He seemed competent and did the work fine.  Price was reasonable.  We were disappointed that he was unable to provide a written invoice for the work, which is something we needed and expected a reputable company to be able to provide.  Lastly, he was very passionate about his Christian faith but he overstepped bounds a bit with the preaching.  Just FYI.
Response from WDRP Home Repairs
"Member, I am so sorry you did not get a written invoice. I take care of the paper work for Dennis and I must have overlooked it. Dennis did inform me. My mistake. I would like to clear this up, please e-mail [email protected] your mailing address and I will send that to you today. I'm glad you were please with his work. Susan Kerlin"

"Don't have a clue on this one. I do know that April 19 is my birthday, my niece Alissa's, as well as my daughters 1 yr old dog Sheila. The caller is correct that i don't insist that my wife and family answer with company name. We just do a better job for less if possible, My prayer is that all who read this will read the 3rd chapter of John and be born twice. thx Dennis Kerlin WDRP Repairs"

The estimate Dennis gave was for labor and materials and was lower than I had imagined so we made the appointment. He showed up with his daughter (who did all the interior painting) and for two days they worked with no breaks or complaints and knocked out every project with a smile and professionalism. I couldn't be happier with this company. His demeanor and overall outgoing attitude was very refreshing.  I would rate them beyond an A and I will not hesitate to call him for any future project and will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

They were very good. The price was very reasonable.    I interviewed several people and I liked them the best.  They were just very clear about what they were going to do and they did it exactly the way they said they would.  They were polite and friendly and it was all good.

We will definitely use him again! He charges by the job (very reasonably!) and does wonderful work. Not only was he very prompt at returning our calls and reasonably priced but he is also a true delight!!

A few weeks ago, Dennis came out and looked at everything and gave us a very fair estimate - significantly less than his competitors.  He answered all of our questions clearly, and everything he predicted about how things would look and how much it would cost ended up being right.  There were no surprises.  We had a tough time getting things arranged because of our work schedules, but Dennis worked with us and did the work at a mutually convenient time.

On the back porch, he used much higher quality materials with the woodwork and back pillars than the original builder had used.  He replaced the wood around the door, cleaned the rust off the door, and painted everything perfectly.  He paid close attention to detail and made our once wood-rot and rust ridden back porch look better than brand new (because of superior materials and craftsmanship).

We had previously been told there was no way to feasibly repair our cabinet and that we would have to buy a new one (which would have cost almost as much as Dennis charged for everything he did).  He cleaned up the cabinet and added very nice wood trim, which totally covered the damage.  The trim perfectly matches the cabinet, and it looks great.  It also saved us hundreds of dollars.

I asked Dennis about the front pillars, and he told me he could repair the damage and use the same quality materials he used in the back.  I was impressed with his workmanship and how the back porch looked, so I asked him to quote me a price.  Once again the price was very fair (and obviously a fraction of the cost of bricking the pillars).  He came back the next morning and did the work, and it looks every bit as good as the back porch.

These were the highlights, but he also flawlessly reinstalled the towel rack, repaired the fence, and installed the bathroom sink.

We couldn't be happier with Dennis' work, and he will be the first contractor we call for all home repairs.

Mr. Kerlin arrived around 9:15 am and examined the door. After discussing the details of the project with me, he immediately went to Home Depot to buy the necessary materials.  While there, he called to discuss the types of wood available and their costs. Upon returning, he stayed with the job untl it was done, leaving around 7 pm.

We had several miscellaneous repairs to be done. WDRP called back the same day I contacted them, and Dennis came within a day or two.  His estimate was very reasonable. He explained our options for several of the repairs and the different supplies that would be needed based on what we chose to do.  He got paint that matched the trim perfectly.  He completed all the work in a couple of days and cleaned up beautifully.  He took away all the old wood that was replaced and swept up all the debris.  He was courteous, professional and punctual.  We would use him again, and recommend his work to others.

Dennis was very efficient. He replaced the Air Conditioner quickly even though it surprisingly involved evicting a Mommy and baby squirrel that surprised Dennis when he removed the old air conditioner unit. (They are fine, they relocated to a nest In the large Ash tree in my front yard) Dennis replaced siding, repaired the corner of the house that was attacked by a tree branch, replaced boards around the windows that were weathered and rotting, and caulked and painted the repairs. Dennis repaired the bathroom ceiling. He removed drywall and replaced it, and he painted the ceiling. Dennis also replaced the weather stripping around the front door.

His price was very reasonable.  He brought all the neccessary tools and supplies.  The only additional item I had to purchase was a scheet of drywall.  He thinks out of the box and finds a way to repair items instead of just replacing them.  He was very neat and cleaned up after himself and was a gentleman.  His work was very professional and he pays great attention to detail.  He utilized some supplies that I already had to keep the cost down, the total cost was inclusive of all labor and supplies and came to just under $2000.  I plan to have him back to repair the garage door soon.

I spoke with Dennis on the phone regarding the work I needed done.    He asked questions to identify exactly what I was wanting to accomplish.   Dennis offered to come and do one patch to see if it was what I wanted.    It was exactly what I wanted, so he stayed he finished the entire job in about 5 hours.

It is a handyman company. His was the lowest and quickest bid. He did some wood rot repair on the siding of my house. He is a nice guy, and I would rate him highly.

Dennis responded quickly, gave an on-target assessment of the damage and an estimate. Dennis is honest, direct, and a great guy that cares about his work and inspires confidence. He performed the repairs to perfection, installed a new deadbolt lock, and gave me tips for "door defense" and even fashioned 3 wooden doorguards which I am using. He was a pleasure to deal with and made a trying situation much easier to deal with!

We are very pleased with his work. He prepared well for the job. He was organized and did not leave a mess when finishing for the day. He completed the entire job in a short period of time and we would hire him again. He wasn't always there at 8 every morning, therefore the B, but he did call when he could not make it at all. Overall we would recommend him and use him again.

I first noticed the problem when I went to put mail in the mailbox and it almost came all the way off its post. I immediately contacted Dennis Kerlin. He came out at the first opportunity and quickly got the new installed. As always, he did an excellent job.

Mr. Kerlin had done an excellent job on a prior occasion so I immediately contacted him to do the work this time as well. He came out to do an estimate and it was he who noticed the problem with the gutter downspout. Mr. Kerlin explained that without an extension I could have foundation problems from too much water seeping under the house. Mr. Kerlin arrived on time, did a professional job in all areas, and got everything done in one day. He is definitely the person I think of now whenever repairs or projects need to be done.
