The work that was done is not correct. Neither toilet flushes. I have called every day, including the day they were here, about coming back to fix the toilet. Even a single square of toilet paper won't flush. They will not return my calls at all. The faucet they installed wasn't installed properly either. I paid for a full day of handyman service and did not get quality work in return. One of the handyman that was on site (total of 2 men) was not working for the full time, he was outside talking on his phone and smoking for a large chunk of time. They finally called me back after leaving my initial review and said they'd come out at 2pm. They called me at 11 that morning and said they had arrived. He got mad that I wasn't home, even though the appointment wasn't until 2 that day. He tried to insinuate the toilets in my house never worked to begin with. He was just really nasty and very rude. I called one of the managers and told them what happened. When the manager came out, he brought the same guy with him. I was not comfortable having him at my house. Then the manager got nasty with me, and explained that everyone in my neighborhood is rude. I felt like he was trying to intimidate me, and say what ever he wanted. All they needed to do was fix the toilets and leave. They did end fixing the two toilet tanks, but not before putting me through a lot to get it finished.

I hired Two by Four Construction because during the initial consultation, Gary made me feel comfortable that his crew would have no problem painting my deck using Behr Deckover and it would look great for years. The project schedule was two days.
The first day, the crew of 2 removed 6 deck boards and replaced them and then cleaned the deck. During this process, one of the crew members damaged an adjacent board when prying up the old board. To the credit of Gary, he had his crew replace the damaged board at no additional cost on the second day. Also, I was expecting more of the old paint that was on the deck to be removed because Behr recommended stripping the old paint from the deck. Since these guys have done this before, I assumed it would be fine to paint over the old paint as long as the deck was clean.
On the second day, the crew of 3 arrived on time.  However, it took them about two hours to replace the damaged deck board and prep the deck for paint. Because of this it delayed the start time of the first coat of paint. Then there was another delay when there appeared to be a disagreement between 2 of the crew members and one of them walked off the job. So the crew of 3 was down to 2. I started to become concerned about the timeline when by lunch time, only half of the deck railing was painted. Again, Behr recommends 4 to 6 hours between coats and the first coat was no where near close to being finished. The first coat was completed probably sometime around 5 pm. The first coat would have probably been finished earlier if the crew was larger. Two additional crew members were sent out later in the day but by then it was probably too late. When the first coat was finished the crew immediately started on the second coat. Rather than wait the recommended 4-6 hours to dry, they only waited until it was dry to touch. The second coat was completed by 7 pm.  Because the crew finished late, they very much rushed the second coat. I currently have many areas on my deck railings and stairs where the old blue paint still shows through even after Gary sent a crew member out to touch up spots that were missed on the railing. I was very disappointed however when the crew member who came out to the touch ups didn't let me know they had arrived and didn't let me know they were done so, I had no opportunity to review the work to ensure all the touch ups were completed to my satisfaction.
Overall I would say the job got done satisfactorily but there is major room for improvement when it comes to quality of work and professionalism between the crew and the client.

Great work. Easy to deal with and schedule.  Arrived promptly.  Great guys - no problems.

This contractor went out of his way very late on a monday to visit my home and provide his expertise in explaining that my home met with currrent code and explained why. Further he is deliverying to me a written report with his license number for me to deliver to the buyer of my house. A++++service.

I bought the handyman for a day for $425 deal. The handyman was scheduled to be here at 7:30a.m. and he was in the driveway at 7:25a.m. (that's when I noticed so he might have been here earlier). We went through a list of everything I wanted done, and he got all but one thing done. The one thing turned out to be a job that will require more time and materials then we had, so I'm asking for a separate quote for it. Many of the items were inspection issues with my newly bought house and I feel much better knowing that pretty much all of them are done. Would recommend and will use again.

Up front contact and scoping of job was excellent.  By every means, this is a great deal offered by Angie's List.

Work was completed by professionals and in the time frame specified.

Final product is a huge improvement and floor looks great.

However, there are two places where there appears to be sections of the floor gouged out and it could be either from the sander or the natural knots in the wood.  Unfortunately, one of them is in a high traffic area and visible which detracts from the overall look of the floor. We would have expected this to have been filled and effectively varnished.

From the moment I bought the coupon, Two by Four Construction contacted me almost immediately and found out the work I needed done.  I spoke with Gary, I explained what I wanted done and he explained to me what I needed to have for the guys to do the work.  This made the process much more efficient.  The day the work was to be done Dale showed up right on time and I went over what I wanted done.  He informed me I had picked up a wrong part and showed me what exactly I needed.  While I ran to the store he got right to work on my main project.  When I arrived back, RJ (I think, I'm bad with names) was there to start on the other projects.  All the work was done to my satisfaction.  The guys were awesome at answering any questions I had.  I definitely got my moneys worth out that deal.  I will be using Two by Four Construction again for whatever my next project is.

I purchased the Big Deal from Angie's List for $349 for 200 Square Feet of Hardwood Sanding and Refinishing on March 29, 2015.  On March 31, 2015, Bob Anderson came to my home to look at the floors and to provide me with an estimate.  Bob stated that I have 270 square feet of wood floors and that I needed all new shoe molding.  I was charged an additional $265 for the additional square footage and the shoe molding.  On April 7, 2015, Bob contacted me with the date they could begin the job, which was April 30, 2015.  On April 28, 2015, I contacted Bob to verify that we were still on schedule to begin the work on April 30, 2015, and I asked him to arrive at 09:00am.  On April 30, 2015, Bob McClary (sub-contractor for Bob Anderson) arrived at my home at 08:15am to begin the work.  I was not at home, but arrived shortly thereafter.  Since he arrived early, Bob McClary was kind enough to help me move the kitchen table and throw rugs so that he could begin sanding.  He explained the refinishing process to me and gave me the "do's and dont's" regarding caring for the floors.  He was able to complete the sanding and the application of one coat of urethane on that day.  The next day, he installed the shoe molding and applied the second coat of urethane.  Bob McClary told me that all of the shoe molding did not need to be replaced; thus, he merely sanded and refinished approximately 25 feet of the shoe molding without replacing it.  Aside from that, the floors look beautiful!!  Thanks Bob, Bob, and Gary...

Bob contacted me quickly after I sent an inquiry to Two by Four and then stayed in touch throughout the project.  He is friendly, professional and seemed to really know his stuff.  He was able to schedule me quickly and the floors look beautiful. I'm very happy we went with them.

We bought the coupon on Angieslist deal. We paid for the extra sqft on top of the coupon. The estimator was very professional and on time. He gave a good price for the additional area of floor. We wanted the wood to match what we had. He showed the sample and was close enough. Took a week to order the wood. On the installation day, the workers arrived on time early and started moving furniture etc. The wood they got with them was wrong. We called the guy we talked with and sorted out the issue. The worker waited an hour until the correct wood arrived and started working. He single handedly completed the whole job. He cleaned up and put back all the furniture by himself.
The wood matched what we wanted but had more imperfections than what we had before. All the hammering and nailing on top loosened out basement recessed lighting which was not considered when working. Apart from these 2 things we are very happy with how it went.

We worked with Bob Anderson for the estimate and contract. Luis and his team installed. Overall is was a good experience. I would recommend them to anyone. They were able to install Bruce hardwood throughout our home. It looks great. There are a few areas where I wish the reveals were less obvious, but I am happy with the outcome as a whole. They were quick and easy to work with. There was the need to have them come back out a fix a few small items - nothing major, and they were happy to do it. Weather caused this to take forever, and I did become a little irritated by having to reschedule 5 or 6 times, which is why I gave a B for responsiveness.
The B for quality is because there are more short cuts than I thought there would be and the two or three areas where there boards are not quite flush. They are really only noticeable to someone who is scrutinizing the floor closely, and for the price I am 100% willing to live with it. The stairs look amazing. And the overall difference in the house is drastic. Thank you Bob, Luis, and team!

Great!! Very professional, did a GREAT job, showed up on time.  Owner of company called to let us know if he was running late, also called to check in at the end of the day to see how things went. Would highly recommend this company!

Contractor patched dry wall, primed and painted the ceiling in several places. Left no mess. Arrived promptly as scheduled and spent the day doing the dry wall and additional small jobs. Excellent service, great work and definitely worth rehiring.

I purchased the $75 Ceiling Fan Installation Big Deal on March 30, 2015.  Gary from Two by Four Construction responded the same day and explained that I might need an electrical box to support the weight of the fan, due to the age of my home.  On March 31, 2015, I went out and purchased the electrical box, and I scheduled the installation for April 2, 2015, at 1pm.  On April 2, 2015, the service technician called at 10am to advise he would be significantly delayed, and requested to reschedule.  I told him that I had taken the day off from work and really needed it to be installed, no matter how late in the day.  Two by Four then dispatched an alternate service technician to my home, who arrived at 2pm.  I was surprised, as I was expecting someone much later.  It worked out great!  When Ronnie arrived, he was very polite, and he apologized for the 1 hour delay.  I told him that I was just glad he showed up.  He installed the ceiling fan electrical box and the ceiling fan without incident.  I am very pleased.  But I did not expect anything less from Two by Four, as I am a repeat customer.  Thanks Gary!! :)
