He arrived when he said he would, did what I asked. We both forgot to have him fix my wooden gate, but that's not his fault. I just felt that his prices were a tad high (I thought maybe $50 would have been fairer than $70; otherwise I would use him again, no question about it.
Description of Work: This was Sam Stockhamer's second visit to my home; he put up on enormous and heavy (100 pound) framed mirror over my couch and one enormous framed picture on the dining room wall. He also quickly and efficiently installed a towel rack in master bath and a toilet paper holder nearby--and they are perfectly straight, which is more than can be said for how another handyman did them in my other two bathrooms, as they are crooked.

Sam, was a real pleasure to work with from start to finish. No task was a problem, and he even did the Home Depot shopping for materials needed prior. He came up with a couple of innovated ways to do a few projects from mounting a T. V. on a bracket to fixing and repainting my front door, rather than replacing it, thus saving me some money. I would certainly use him again, and highly recommend his services.
Description of Work: Variety of small chores that I had built up.

Sam was very punctual on his 2 visits. He worked tirelessly on both days, and made sure that the job was completed to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: Sam replaced a deteriorating gate to our courtyard. He successfully removed the old gate, salvaged hardware from it, and rebuilt a new, custom gate to exactly match that of our condo neighbor, as specified by our Homeowner's Association.

Went fine. This was a job where we gave him the list of items beforehand. The work required labor and purchase of parts. Because of the nature of numerous of the lighting items, he advised that he was unable to give us an estimate, but he did indicate the absolute high end as to labor that the charges would fall under, and that was complied with. We believe, although not experts in the field, that the overall price was a fair one. On the consumer side, this job was essentially handled from out of town, but Mr. Stockhamer reported regularly and on point to the issues so we knew what was happening and have confidence that everything was done successfully.
Description of Work: Mr. Stockhamer repaired or replaced numerous household items - most of which were lighting/electrical issues, plus some additional.

I thought Sam was thorough and competent. I would call him again and trust that he will give me good advice.
Description of Work: Sam removed old window treatments on three large windows and installed new blinds on the windows. He filled the holes left from the old hardware, with plaster. He hung a very heavy, large mirror after finding a stud that could support it. I had two malfunctioning florescent light fixtures, on one he replaced the balast on the other he replaced the fixture. He suggested and replaced florescent light bulbs in another fixture that had traditional and heat generating bulbs.

It was very good. He is very pleasant. We did have to change the appointment a couple times, but he did apologize. He was reasonable for this area. He was polite. I'm not sure about the water filter because it was complicated, and he had to call GE to ask questions.

Extremely well. He is pleasant, easy to work with, very knowledgeable and very fairly priced. All our work was completed in a meticulous fashion with no extra clean-up required by us.
Description of Work: On his first visit, he replaced wall switches for overhead fans in 4 rooms. We had Mr. Stockhamer return for more work. On his second visit he replaced some wood outside our entry way, had spray paint, of his own, to complete it, thus saving us from having to buy some for such a small amount of area. He also relocated our front door sill so as to close a gap between the door and the sill. He saved us money by giving us a wand to attach to our verticals, which were broken. We could now open and close them by using the wand.
