Tim was super responsive! He was at the poetry next day, fixed the issue and went on his way. I am so excited to have found him after so many bad experiences trying to get things handled at properties I manage.

He was polite. He was running slightly late and called me to let me know. I called for my outside gate lock, and he took care of that with a key. I also pointed out a leak in my sink, which he fixed for me at no additional cost.
Description of Work: He came out and provided a key for my gate lock. He also fixed a leak in my sink.

Tim is always on time and works neatly and quickly. He looks at what is needed, tells you if he can do the work and if so what it will cost. Then he does it. I have used him on 5 different occasions and will continue to do so. He is a very qualified handyman.

I had called for an estimate but by the time he got ahold of me I had already had it installed. I let him know I wasn't sure that this was done correctly because I don't know anything about the installation of a window air conditioning unit. At that time he offered to come and take a look. He assured me it had been done correctly and did not charge me anything for his expert opinion.
Description of Work: He inspected the installation of a window air conditioning unit.

Tim did a great job on everything. He was professional and helpful with explanations. The work he did has made my home a much more pleasant place to be. The next time I need something done.. I won't hesitate to call him.
Description of Work: During four different occasions, Tim came and did a bunch of things for me. First he took out some cupboards in the kitchen and installed a dishwasher. During that same visit, he installed an ice maker and water line in the refrigerator. The next week he came back and installed a tubular skylight in my kitchen. The next week, he installed one in the bathroom. The fourth visit, he installed a security screen door in my garage, including the lock set and then keyed them so my front and rear doors use the same key.

It was great, he was punctual and very focused on tasks. Gets the work done and gets out, no miscellaneous chit-chat to expand the time. Leaves the area clean, disposes of all trash or takes it with him. I was very pleased with the work and will use him again.

Tim is always cost effective and speedy. Everything now works perfectly and he's always honest about what to fix versus what to replace. Tim's always the first person I call for repairs. He'll tell me if it's something he can handle or if I need to call someone else.
Description of Work: Replaced two cartridges on my bathroom sink, replaced drain pipe on another bathroom sink, replaced a light switch and evaluated an outlet.

We were not happy about his work. The worst thing about him was that, on the day we showed him what we wanted, he never indicated that 1) it would take more than a day to do it all and he'd have to schedule a second day, and 2) he didn't really want to do some of the jobs. He should have told us at the outset that he couldn't finish in one day and let us decide on priorities. At the end of the first day, he said he'd have to schedule some time later in the following week to finish the work. For the work he did, he argued about the necessity for it and was dismissive about what we wanted to do. He's welcome to his opinion, but he shouldn't have taken the job if he didn't want to do it or thought it a bad idea. His actual work was mediocre at best. He used a piece of used and dirty PVC pipe to raise a hose bib to waist level and the new bib leaks. His manner was curt, not friendly, and he seemed reluctant to work for us. We don't mind paying market rates for work, but we expect the work to be performed in a professional manner. This is the first time we have been treated so rudely by an Angie's List provider and I hope it will be the last.
Description of Work: Attached a garden faucet with a short pvc pipe to the shed. Touched up 3 small spots on the patio ceiling. Installed two grab bars. Put some plumber putty around a sink hole. P

Response from TIM LEWIS BUILDING MAINTENANCE
There was a definite language problem. I did my best to guide them in the right direction to avoid more costly repairs, apparently this was misinterpreted. I made it very clear that I worked for them and would do what ever they wanted. The PVC pipe I used was a little dirty but was new. The customer said at the time it was no problem and she would paint it. The putty around the kitchen sink sprayer was a temporary repair until she could order the replacement part. She insisted on the putty. I suggested adhesive. When I had finished with the repairs requested, she started adding more which is when I told her I would have to schedule another day. She did decide on another appointment the following week but called the next day to cancel. The last four sentences of their remarks is just not true!

Tim was prompt and professional. He worked very efficiently and achieved first rate results in a short period of time. He was polite, respectful and made sure everything was clean and working properly before he departed. I would definitely use his services again in the future.
Description of Work: Installed safety "grab bars" in master bathroom shower; installed handheld showerheads in both bathrooms.

It went perfectly. I contacted Tim via email, explained what I needed done, and we agreed on a date for the work to begin. Tim showed up promptly, had the right tools, and got to work. I appreciated his professionalism and expertise. Once one job was finished, he immediately started on the next. It was my job to prioritize the jobs, and I had my list ready!
Description of Work: Mr. Lewis replaced approximately 20 wall light switches, removed shower door, assembled and installed a ceiling fan in master bedroom.

Tim is a pleasure to work with! Extremely capable and professional, offering additional advice when asked. Tim was quick to let me know which of the repairs around the rental were worth doing, and explained the process of emptying a hot water heater if I wanted to do it myself. At no time did he suggest a repair that would create additional expense to me. Tim will be my go to for my "honey do" jobs. He is especially good at electrical.
