It was amazing to watch him work. He is so knowledgeable and seeks to find the best way to fix any problem. Fantastic man.
Description of Work: Paul is very well versed in all aspects of home repairs. He is careful, concerned about quality and fixes things perfectly. He did electrical work, fixed a badly functioning door which now works perfectly. I won't schedule anyone but Paul to do work on my house. He is terrific.

I have used Paul for over 12 years. He was referred to me by a friend that had used him for years before that. He is prompt in returning calls and setting up appointments. He always shows up when he says he will. He has done numerous handyman jobs in the past including rebuilding a rusting light fixture by my driveway. He can do some plumbing and electrical. He will tell you if he cannot do the job you need. He has fixed drywall repairs and gates. He enlarged a TV niche for my sister and did a beautiful job. His price is very fair and competitive. I have not found any neighbors that have a lower handyman price with such quality work. Paul is easy to get along with and trustworthy. I have A/C filters that are on my 12 foot ceiling. He measures the size, goes and purchases the new filters and comes back and installs them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Description of Work: Price included parts he purchased for me. Installed solar lights for front yard. Inspected all exterior front and back yard lights, fixed timer and replaced burned out bulbs. Replaced A/C filters in home. Fixed broken pool gate. Adjusted door sealing.

I just moved into a new house and had a dishwasher that was not working. I called 4 different handymen listed with 4 starts and none of them even bothered to return my phone call other than Paul. This I assume was because it was a small job. Paul however called me and told me over the phone how we could fix it! He even said my father could call him on his cell to ask if he has any questions since he would be the one fixing it. Paul took time out of his day for no money to help me and didn't coem to the house and charge me for something we could do on our own. You don't find this a lot! I will call him for any futuire jobs we have and tell anyone I know to hire him as well!

Paul called to say he was on his way and arrived right at the appointed hour. The screen needed a wood support beam and Paul went to Home Depot and purchased a cedar piece rather than a cheap wood that would have rotted in a few years. He installed the screen on that beam, making certain it was precisely level so it would raise and lower perfectly. He had never seen this type of Sunsetter brand screen, but figured it out immediately and did a precision installation...I could not be happier. Paul's professionalism and drive for perfection, along with his pleasant personality, will be welcome in our house whenever the need arises. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Paul installed an electric sunscreen on our back patio.

Response from Paul Meade Handyman
We're very sorry about this and aren't sure how it happened. Paul is usually very good about returning calls. If he's actually on a job when a call comes in, he may not return the call that evening, since he doesn't want to use time his current customer is paying for to call potential customers, but he does work hard at returning calls. Our apologies.

Overall, this job could not have been improved upon. From initial phone call to complted job was less than a day. Paul's work is excellent. He obviously takes great pride in doing very professional work that is highly functional and very pleasing to the eye. I certainly intend to use Paul for other handyman jobs around our home!
Description of Work: Paul recommended, purchased and installed a total of five grab-bars, 4 in a walk-in shower, the other at the end of a bathtub/shower combination. He worked very closely with us to get the best placements to meet our needs.

Paul Meade returned my call the same day, even though he explained that he was out of state and would call when he returned in about three days. He did call back, scheduled a time to come and give an estimate. While giving the estimate to install grab bars and to redo caulking in two bathrooms, he also explained what we should look for and what to expect for our needs when we shopped for the grab bars. Paul was extremely prompt, both in coming for the estimate and on the return visit to do the work. He works neatly and professionally. I was impressed with his work.
Description of Work: We asked for and received estimate for work done in two bathrooms, digging out old caulking and replacing around tub and shower, and installing two grab bars in tub/shower in one bathroom and two grab bars in the shower in a second bathroom.

Ever had someone in your house that you just knew you could trust? That is the type of person Paul is. His work is excellent and he's a good guy all around. Will hire him again. :-)
Description of Work: I used Paul to do several things over two days: hang 7 ceiling fans, put together a shelving unit, put together 8 chairs, and hang art. I'm sure there was more.

I called Paul on a Friday and he showed up the next morning to give me a quote. He was punctual and professional. We were afraid that we would have to replace all the wood around the garage doors, but Paul stated that he could sand down the existing wood and patch it. Our house is older and the quality of the wood used on original doors was much better than anything we could go buy now. We were happy with the thought of keeping that original wood. He did not quote painting the eaves because he said the job should really be done with a paint sprayer and he didn't have the right equipment. The quote was higher than I expected, but I was willing to pay more for quality. Based on previous Angie's List reviews I was really hoping to see high quality work. We agreed that he would come out that Monday morning and that he might have to come back on Wednesday to finish the job. Paul showed up on time and started the work. He sanded and patched the garage doors and painted the fascia on the front of the house. He came back on Wednesday as agreed and finished the job. We could not be more pleased. The trim around the garage doors does not look 'new', but it does look a million times better. His work was very meticulous and he cleaned up after himself. He cut the mister system into small sections so that he could fit them into our garbage bin. He patched all the holes in the fascia (many of the holes were from the mister system.) The paint around the fascia looks excellent. There are no sloppy spots where he dropped paint or painted something that he shouldn't have. Overall, I think his price was high. However I have seen the work done by cheaper contractors. I am very happy to pay more to get good quality work done. We were very pleased with his work and will definitely call him for any future projects.
Description of Work: The trim around our garage doors looked awful after years of washing vehicles in front of them. The paint was peeling and the wood was cracking and splitting at the bottom. We also needed the fascia (trim around the roof) around the whole house printed. Along with the painting, there was an old mister system around most of the house that needed to be removed. We were also interested in having the eaves painted.

Paul arrived on time. As I showed him the various problems, Paul explained how he would complete each repair. He works at a fair rate. I didn't have to pay high rates to cover business office, advertising, etc as with many service providers. The work was first-rate and I'll call Paul again when I need help on another job.
Description of Work: Paul repaired a medium-sized drywall hole and re-textured the patch; repaired an aging threshhold at the front door, closing out future dust storms; and changed the settings on remote control for a ceiling fan so that my light/fan won't turn on everytime my neighbor turns his on. I had an electrician (not selected from Angie's List) out 6 months ago for several jobs and he couldn't determine how to remove the cover on the fan to reach the control. I won't have to turn off the light several times a day any longer.

Paul was fantastic to work with. I had received several estimates ranging from $450 to $1100 for the work I needed done and was more confused than ever. Paul came by and gave me a reasonable explanation of the work he was to do and based on the length of time it would take him, he gave me an estimate that I felt the most comfortable with - not the highest or the lowest. I decided to go with his handyman services based on the pricing and the process in which he would complete the work. We scheduled the work to be done in one day and with some expected rain in the forecast, we decided that he would complete paint work on the exterior window the following day. I was impressed with Paul's professionalism and fairness. Even with splitting the work over 2 days, he did not change his pricing and stuck with the estimate. I am extremely pleased with his quality of work and craftsmanship and will absolutely use his services again in the future.
Description of Work: Completed repair (glazed, caulked, and painted) 2 exterior windows; secured a shelf on the side of our range and cut a custom butcher's block to fit on top of it; and installed a door to our master bedroom while reworking the frame to fit a standard door size.

It went well. I called his phone number and left a message. He called back and we agreed on an appointment time for the following Tuesday. Saturday morning he called and said he was working to finish another job and he could start my job in about an hour if I wanted him to. I said OK, so he arrived on schedule and did the job, which took about an hour. He worked diligently and did a great job.
Description of Work: Two services were performed. 1- He reinstalled a roof tile that had fallen from the roof edge of a single story house. The tile was intact. Paul enlarged the nail hole and used a screw instead of a nail to hold it in place. He also secured the adjacent tiles in a similar manner. 2- He replaced split-sleeve foam insulation on copper tubing between 2 A.C. units and the house. I provided the split sleeves.

It was one of the best experiences I have had in hiring a contractor to do what I needed accomplished. Most was little items but things I wanted done. Since I am not physically able to do this myself, it was a pleasure to have a true professional and gentleman.
Description of Work: Mr. Meade is truly a professional handyman! He not only accomplished the list of items i.e. cauling, putting up shelving, hanging towel bars, repairing wall to match where olde towel bar had been taken out. Mr. Meade also answered questions, made a suggestion on the towel rack which improved the item but also gave me ideas for what to look for in purchasing new items for future projects. I will definitely have him come back and do these projects when the time is right. I could not have been more pleased.
