The first home inspection revealed so many serious problems in the first half of the process that, upon seeing my abject disappointment, Mr. Hodgdon offered to halt the process and charge only a nominal fee for his work thus far. However, I chose to proceed with the full inspection so as to have the full picture, and then opted out of the home purchase after discussions with the seller. The seller, in my opinion, knowingly covered up issues and was being dishonest about the condition of the home he had renovated to flip. Upon finally finding another home I placed under contract, Mr. Hodgdon's services were called upon again, and he presented me with an unexpected discounted price due to my being a return customer. Once again, he performed a thorough, extremely well-documented and well-explained inspection. This time, understanding the problems as described that needed to be repaired, I went forward with the purchase, determined to get everything fixed that was found to be a problem. I cannot overstate the implicit trust I have in Mr. Hodgdon's professionalism and integrity, or how deeply impressed I continue to be by his detailed attention and thorough explanation of every item covered in the inspection, and by the beautifully detailed and photographed report produced following each of the inspections. While I was deeply disappointed at having to give up my dream of owning the first home I had under contract, I am forever indebted to Mr. Hodgdon that I did not move forward with the purchase despite the urgency of my need to move and how badly I wanted that house. I'd have been an idiot to buy it despite its egregiously covered-up defects. If you utilize his services, you can be 100% sure that, whether you buy the home or not, you will be thoroughly knowledgeable about every facet of that home's condition. Mr. Hodgdon patiently answers every question, explains each finding and what would be involved in correcting problems. He will not, however, give his opinion on whether you should buy the home -- that decision is yours alone. However, you can be sure that your decision will be a well-informed one should you use the services of Kanawha Valley Home Inspections and Mr. Brett Hodgdon. I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation.

All the work was done properly and completely. Scott and his helper cleaned up the area where the work had been done, leaving no mess or litter behind.

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 initial call to schedule a repair went well and I was given an appointment the next week. The lady told me I would be first on the schedule for the day. The day before my appointment a reminder call was made to me which I thought was very nice. Again, I was told your appt is first. The...

Hi, I’m Freddy. I started doing handyman work because I genuinely enjoy fixing things and helping people feel good about their homes & businesses. For over 20 years, I’ve built my business around one simple idea: do the job right, treat people right, and the rest takes care of itself. 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. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to take care of your home like it’s their own, I’d be happy to help.

"We STRONGLY suggest that people consider other companies for a bath remodel. Our 3-MONTH experience was very stressful. The medicine cabinet was installed too low and we were treated like we were trying to rip them off when we asked for it to be fixed. The shower leaked badly and the tub leaked severely. When the tub was repaired it was placed against the wall and there is noise when getting in and out of the tub. Rylynn refuses to deal with it. The Rylynn rep does not use the word ?sorry.?"

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.
