The problem started Tuesday evening, March 8th, when we noticed the heat was again out. No problem. These things happen. I understand and was happy to give them an opportunity to take care of it. My wife called them Wednesday morning as she was the one who would have to leave work early to meet them. She was told we we out of luck that day. I was disappointed with this. As I said, had they not had time to take the job to begin with, I would have totally understood. But when a repair they made lasts only 4 days, I would think a company would go a little above and beyond to try to see what happened. But, as they said they would come the next day, it was not that big a deal. Thursday my wife leaves work early and waits. And they did indeed send someone but "the truck was too big to make it up the driveway". I wanted to ask why he couldn't just park the truck at the bottom of the driveway and walk up, but didn't. I was told by the lady in the office that next day, Friday, he or someone would be back in a smaller truck. So again my wife leaves early and waits. I get home and wait. Nothing. Not even the courtesy to call and tell us they would not make it!! My wife and I sitting in our house like fools waiting for a technician that never showed. I cannot convey how disappointed I am with Kanawha Valley Maintenance for treating a customer this way. I was not asking them to come back for free. And again I cannot stress enough had they not had time for us to begin with I would have been fine with that. And I realize as well they were booked the days in question. But I cannot believe a company would not go the extra mile to fix an issue they already started. And it's not like it would have required some herculean effort. Would it have killed someone to work over 1 hour 1 day for this? We ended up having to call a company with emergency hours to fix this Sunday and he was not there an hour even. I am just so disappointed. Shame on Kanawha Valley Maintenance. Shame on the owner for allowing this to happen. (Please note I was unable to fill in the cost of service as I have not received the bill yet.)

The next morning while waiting for repairman I received a call, fifteen minutes, before my scheduled time to inform me that there was an emergency meeting that the service men had to attend. After me questioning this I asked a new approximate arrival time but was not given one but that I would be called. After waiting 3 hours they showed up. Repairmen did try to fix my problem and they worked very well but my problem was not fixed. The repair men only go where they are sent and this was not a fault of them. I fully did not believe a meeting took this long however, I do think a bigger customer was put in front of me. Wish they had not kept telling me I was first appt when clearly it was not the case because they had been to several jobs before me. Whatever happened to the integrity of companies?

And wow, we are very happy that we did! We talked with him early in the morning and he was at our house before noon that same day. We were astounded at his prompt service. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it immediately. Also cleaned out the vent. In and out in less than a half an hour. Not only was his service prompt, but his fee was extremely reasonable! He says that he doesn't want to take advantage of people as some repair businesses do. It is so refreshing to find a repairman who actually cares about his customers. And yes, our dryer is now working fine. Tony says that he does not repair microwaves or TVs, but he does work on other major appliances -- refrigerators, freezers, washers, dishwashers and of course dryers. Tony, you are the greatest! Personable, prompt, reasonable and professional. We cannot say enough good things about Tony and the quality of his work. If you have a major appliance that needs repair, grab your phone now and call Tony! We certainly will the next time we have a problem.

Came when they said they would and did the repair quickly.
They were only interested in selling me a new unit, not repairing my old one, even temporarily. I have an "elderly" heat pump that needs a compressor. I intend to replace this heatpump within two years but CANNOT do it now so I asked them to repair the unit. They refused because "Trane no...
the fence was repaired different than the first explanation of how to fix it. Looks like a good job.

Emailed Wilson's with my mower in for repairs and another company flaking out on me. The first time the grass was really talk (6+inches). Wilson's did great, going over several spots a few times to make sure it looked good and they raked the yard. The second time was a regular cut a couple...

They gave me an estimate. Said it could not be repaired and took my battery. They wanted over $5000 for the generator and $2000 to replace gas line. The repairman then wanted to know if he could have the old generator. Another company I called (XSpec) fixed the generator for $1700 including...

Hi, I’m Freddy. I started doing handyman work because I genuinely enjoy fixing things and helping people feel good about their homes & businesses.

I handle a wide range of work — from repairs and installations to custom projects & regular maintenance. I can also take care of any landscaping and yard maintenance needs you may have. Whether it’s a small fix or a bigger upgrade, I bring the same care and attention to detail every time. My clients know me for being dependable, respectful of their homes, and easy to communicate with. I show up when I say I will, keep things clean, and make sure the work is done to your satisfaction before I leave.

FAQs for countertop repair projects in Elkview, WV
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
