Description of Work: Asked for a quote for a paint job he sent me something with no numbers just a list of materials. When asked what this was, he said he would not give any pricing until he started the job. I didn't contact him again.

Response from Couple-O-Bucks
I think she is mistaken, I don't recognize the name or address. I never have or never will give an incomplete quote and expect a customer to let someone start work without a signed contract.

I called Mike and talked to him about getting some of the trim around my windows repaired due to some dry rot. Mike was prompt and very perfesional. The work his crew did was excellent. They made the house look brand new.
Description of Work: Replaced dry rot trim.

I had used Couple O Bucks once in the past to do some minor electrical work on outdoor lights on my home and it went extremely well. I contacted them again after moving to a new house in order to have some minor electrical work done again. I spoke to the owner and was told that he had another person that he used to do this kind of work - (J box for ceiling fans) and that he would get back to me. Never heard back from anyone
Description of Work: I did not have work done by this company

My grandma had no hot water in her manufactured home. Mike promptly responded, accessed the problem, found a product that was in stock and didn't need to be ordered (and take longer) and installed the new water heater for my grandma with all appropriate safety earthquake straps. This is just one example of a job Couple-O-Bucks has done for me. I am a real estate agent with CENTURY 21 Award that has been in the business over 10 years. Couple-O-Bucks is where I go to for all of my clients' needs. They have fair prices with quality work. He helps me with getting houses ready to sell, termite work, repair work, any kind of remodeling of absolutely everything including design ideas and suggestions, and maintenance work. Mike Buck is a top notch professional. His honesty, integrity, and reliability make him the absolute #1 contractor in my book. Mike is so trustworthy that I would give him a key to my parents' house to take care of what's needed and I know he will take care of them. Couple-O-Bucks is an integral part of my real estate services. If you'd like more examples of my many interactions, feel free to contact me.
Description of Work: Installed a manufactured home water heater for my grandma.

It went fine. Michael was fast and did what he said he would for a good price. There were just a few minor things that I wasn't all that happy with... (1) he was late for the appointment and (2) I asked him for an estimate on some other handyman work I needed done at the house and he never got back to me with that as he said he would, (3) the flexible gas line he installed was a bright yellow in color, so it is noticeable beneath the gas logs, and (4) he is slow returning phone calls.
Description of Work: Michael Buck installed two gas log kits in our 2 fireplaces in our new home.
