He seemed very professional. His quote was the highest among others. He was going to do more job as well like sand with the belt sander for some of the handrail. He knew what he was doing. He has season guys to do the job. I would rate him high overall. I probably not consider in using him in the future mainly because he was very highly priced.
Description of Work: College Bound Handyman just came out and gave an estimate in April for deck maintenance and pressure washing. The estimate was about $3450.

Josh presents well. There was a misunderstanding concerning the bill. The job took much longer than agreed. Josh did the electrical work for installing the bathroom fan. I ended up finishing the ceiling myself because I lost faith in what he was reporting. I hired an electrician to check the electrical work that Josh did and spent 200.00 to have it corrected. Lesson learned for me only let an electrian do electrical work get a morevexact written estimate from a contractor so there will be no wiggle room. Josh is a very polite person
Description of Work: Replaced the bathroom ceiling and installed a ceiling fan

We spent less than $5,000 on that work. Last summer he really redid our entire bathroom which included the flooring and carpentry. I think that Josh is inventive, reliable and reasonably priced. He does very, very good work. It is a great company and he is a great kid.
Description of Work: We use College Bound Handyman for handyman work. The last time we used him was maybe 3 weeks ago and he did some repair work on our garage.

provided creative ideas, especially for back yard; made a point of warning me when they discovered that the "extra" floor tile I had really did match what was already laid down in a previoius job; very young fellows, but manifested a professionalism beyond what one might expect.

They started last Wednesday and they are 95 percent finished. They had to order the quarter round and they are waiting for that to come in. We had bought the flooring ourselves before we called them and the place where we bought it didn't have the matching stuff. I can't say enough for these guys. In the condo building that I live in, they can only work from 9 to 5. When 9 o'clock comes they are here and they leave around 5. They clean up when they go. Everything is put aside. They are so considerate that they asked me if I wanted them to put the couch back where it was. When they had to do under my bed, they took the mattress and everything off and laid the flooring. When I came back, not only had they put the mattress back on, they had even made the bed. They are young guys. I am 74 so everybody is young. You would want them to be your son. They are just so wonderful and so considerate and they have done a wonderful job. I just cannot say enough. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: College Bound Handyman tore up the rugs that were in my condo and put down laminate flooring.

The handyman arrived on time, did a professional job in the estimated time, and cleaned up before leaving. I expect to give them further work in the near future.
Description of Work: This job entailed repairing water damage to a small bathroom floor in two places, then laying laminate I supplied over the entire floor, and finishing with molding and caulking as required.

College Bound Handyman is a team of college students skilled in home improvements as well as other services such as power washing, minor plumbing/electric, painting and landscaping. All the students I spoke with were raised in families where one parent was a contractor. From the call to the end, all the contractors were polite, professional and on time. Josh arrived on time to provide a quote. His quote was less than half of others I had received. The team arrived exactly as stated. I can be very picky about work done and any suggestion I made was implemented by the contractor. The work was finished on time and on budget, even with my additions. All work was completed to my satisfaction. In fact, their attention to detail was better than several 'professional' contractors I have used in the past. These guys were great, polite, and did a great job cleaning up after themselves. I have already recommended them to my neighbors for small painting, drywall and minor carpentry work.
Description of Work: I had repairs done to my deck including repairing a step, a new exterior light including wiring a switch, lattice skirt added and replacing an oak flooring board that was damaged by another contractor.
