He did a really good job. It went really well. Helped remove the old A/C and mounted new unit and helped prepare for drywall and stucco. I was happy with him. He was here for several hours.
Description of Work: Removed old A/C unit and replaced and mounted new one.
We were running tight on our schedule so I had him come back when my other handyman was there and they finished some molding around the new carpet and then I elected to have him do the doors. What I noticed was he was not high, but a little bit more expensive. I had two issues. One was that the first day he was there he was on his cell phone, not that he wasn't paying attention, but he pushed the stove or dishwasher into place and wrecked some of the newly done molding. Then, I had him hang six new doors and he drilled on the wrong side of one of the new doors. And he did not let me know that the inside of the door had a hole so everything looks good on the outside, but on the inside there's a hole the size of a door handle. I made him aware of it and he said he'd do anything necessary to make us happy. He suggested a patch and my husband said no we want a new door. Mr. Lewis said the new door was fine but he never contacted my real estate person to go change it. I had paid him everyday but I didn't pay him the last payment of $120. I'm disappointed and he could have contacted me to resolve it since that time, but now the condo is sold and I'm not satisfied.
Description of Work: I used Tim Lewis Building Maintenance to renovate my mother's condo to get it ready to sell when my contractor had to be gone for a family emergency. I had limited time and contacted Mr. Lewis. He was willing to come and he did so promptly, within a day or two, and was able to install a dishwasher, a stove, a microwave and a ceiling fan.

Response from TIM LEWIS BUILDING MAINTENANCE
This client was from out of state and only here for a short time. She was well aware of what I charged from the first meeting. She was having trouble finding someone to complete what was left when her first handyman left. She was very nice at first. I agreed to reschedule my other jobs to help her out. All went well until the last day when she had to leave with one door left to hang. I hung the door and sent her an invoice which she never paid. The patch I made on the inside of the bedroom door was not noticeable to the casual observer. Even though she never actually saw the patch, she insisted on a new door. Considering she had not paid for the last door, I had no expectation of being paid for a new one. I tried contacting her with no response. I supposed the condo had sold and I was no longer relevant.

He has done work for me for probably about 3 or 4 times. Every single price that he has done is very reasonable. He is pretty handy. He does a lot of things. He is responsive. He answers his phone a lot and I like that. And, his schedule is pretty flexible so he can get over to the property within a couple of days so that is helpful. Sometimes he even comes the same day depending on where the work is at.
Description of Work: Tim Lewis Building Maintenance has done minor plumbing stuff like changing a disposal. He also did things for me like my exhaust fan.

I had already gotten a new gasket from the toilet company. Tim arrived, checked it out, replaced the gasket, answered a few questions, and chatted. He is very friendly and the toilet is fine! Yea!!
Description of Work: Tim is a quality person. Knowledgeable, efficient and generous!! Because the toilet issue was so minor (replaced a gasket), he didn't charge me for it or for his time! He even answered a few more misc questions for me. So nice to have such a positive experience. I would definitely call him again!

Excellent. Met or exceeded all expectations. My highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Tim installed safety bars and changed out light fixtures. He did a great job, knew his stuff, and was very fair in his pricing. Overall a great experience. My apologies to him - I had an earlier appointment, got caught up with other things, and missed the appointment. He didn't even give me any grief about it. Great experience.

Fantastic. Tim is easy to work and communicate with. Super fast, friendly, obviously experienced, clean/neat (arrived with his own towel to wipe his shoes on because it was raining), tidied up nicely when he was done. No nonsense get-it-done type guy. Couldn't have asked for a smoother experience. All work done quickly and very professionally. Super reasonable charges. I will definitiely be calling him again.
Description of Work: Removal of old caulking and re-caulking of tub edging where it met the tile walls and also along the floor. Removal of old lighting fixtures and medicine cabinet in bathroom and then installation of new. Examination of electrical wiring inside the wall to advise on how a fixture could possibly be added to existing wiring.

Response from TIM LEWIS BUILDING MAINTENANCE
I think this customer may have me confused with someone else. I don't do bathtub refinishing.
I trust him and he is very reliable. He charges $60 an hour and does not charge at the door like many other handymen. He is extremely fair and works very hard. If he says he's going to be here at a certain time he's here, and if for some reason he won't be, he lets me know. If there is a job he cannot do and he knows it, he will let you know.
Description of Work: He installed a light outside for me, reinforced a shelf in my pantry, has installed locks on doors in the home and other projects for me.
I called 26 general contractors and handymen, including Angie's List members, Yelp recommendations, Better Business Bureau, and Yahoo / Google searches. I had quotes ranging from $500 to $1800, the minimum quote received to look at the electrical work was $300. Of the 26 I called, four gave on-site estimates, 18 never returned my message, three returned my call to say they couldn't get to the work, and the last was Tim. I didn't simply choose Tim by default even though he never provided an estimate. He called, said he would go to the property and take a look. During our initial conversation I informed him I was interested in a long term property maintenance arrangement where I would authorize him to perform any necessary work at his discretion as long as it was around $100 and he took it from there. He showed up to the property the performed all the items I requested and at the prearranged price. He has been to the property twice and my tenants have reported he is very pleasant and efficient. My contact with Tim has been through phone and email. I will say that Tim is extremely patient and extremely accommodating. I have really lucked out in finding him.
Description of Work: Tim is a fulfiling general handyman duties for one of my properties that had been vacant for over a year. He has been extremely responsive and performed outstanding service for my new tenants. Work completed: - Repaired two seven feet tall wooded sides gates that were previously installed by a general contractor. He repaired them so they would close and latch as they were intended. - Troubleshot outdoor electrical wiring, outlets, and switches to a pond and light to identify potential grounds. - Troubleshot power to electrical receptacles in a bedroom. - Replaced a window screen - Removed calcium deposits from the kitchen sink so it would operate freely. I don't have the final invoice, but his most recent work (04 October 2011) included replacing motion sensors in two lights. I have no intention of replacing him with another handyman.
Tim was excellent! I'm a total type A and am usually multiple-tasking so I want things done quickly. He fixed my toilet, changed out 2 door handles, fixed my crossed wires on my ceiling fan/ light and took out a large built in shelf all in about an hour! More than the fact that he did the work, he really seemed to know exactly what he was doing. We have a fixer upper so we are always in need of something and I will definitely call him again!
Description of Work: - replace flush handle on toilet - fix crossed wire on ceiling fan -change out 2 interior door handles - take out a big shelf in the storage area

He only took around an hour to do the work and charged me $65, which was much less than the quote from the other company. He was very personable, efficient, and even offered some advice on a security system.
Description of Work: I had contacted another person on Angie's List that had given me a bid of $400, so I called Tim Lewis. Tim showed up at my house and did all the little projects I had for him including putting a new electrical outlet for the refridgerator in and repaired the deadbolt lock on my back door.

He is very good and can do just about everything! It was an incredible feat when he reinforced the banister. He comes when he says he is coming, does not overcharge, and is extremely honest. He charges for the time that he is there and works quickly. He is very adjustable in scheduling, respectful, and accommodating. Overall, he is really a great guy!
Description of Work: He has been to my house about 3-4 times. He reinforced a banister in my house, opened a safe, filled holes in my walls, patched stucco, and installed two outside lights. He also ordered folding hinges and installed them on our bathroom door. He is also going to do plumbing and more electrical work for me.
