Allen and his crew arrived actually a few minutes early to begin work. Our condominium storage room was a disaster after the massive floods of April 29, 2014. They removed all tools, boxes of lighting and landscaping supplies, extra fence rails and lumber, and metal shingles from the room and began work. They installed metal shelving on 2 walls, installed tool and ladder hanging equipment throughout, and they also built a wooden frame hanging from the ceiling and back wall to hold odd pieces of lumber, replacement 8-foot fence rails and the like. They re-placed all our items in the new storage room in a very organized and user-friendly fashion. They constructed a 1-1/4" high support system to hold metal shingles, getting them off the concrete floor and out of the way. They hung metal shelving in our electrical room for more storage. They made excellent use of much previously wasted space. These gentlemen worked steady and very hard in 100+ degree heat, did an exceptional job for us in just over 5 hours. Did I mention that the cost actually came in more than $50 under budget?!! (Allen's quote was very fair to begin with!) We are very pleased with Allen and his team, and will definitely call on them for future projects. We definitely recommend Allen's Home and Rental Repairs.
Description of Work: Installed new shelving and reorganized pump/storage room and electrical room for 10-unit condominium complex.

I called three times over a three week time period. Left a message once, no return phone call was received. Called a second time, the phone did a weird disconnect and I was unable to get through. Called a third time, his voicemail was full so I was unable to leave a message. I am disappointed because I need a small carpet repair on a rental property I own and from the reviews on Angie's list it seemed like he'd be perfect for the job.

Description of Work: Various "Handyman" tasks. Excellent in all respects.
I needed help with the renovation of a recently purchased bank owned home. Allen's Home and Rental repair worked for me over the course of about 3 weeks in March. They were dependable, agreeable and trustworthy. I gave a B on quality only because they did so many different tasks for me that no one could do all I asked perfectly! They were better at some jobs than others but all were good. or excellent. Anytime something was not right they looked into it and made it right. They contacted me when plans had to be changed and they couldn't make it. They worked well with other people who were working on the house, for example roofers, to coordinate the jobs so that the order of the tasks made sense. Allen helped me "think outside the box" when needed. I was on a budget and they respected that. One thing that was great about this company is that they can do so many different jobs that I did not have to call a lot of different companies. Overall I feel that I was fortunate to have found this company. I felt comfortable around them and since I was working everyday with them this was important to me. I would absolutely hire them again. Very polite, nice guys.
Description of Work: Removed an attached sunroom from the back of a rental home. Installed plank laminate flooring (about 1200 square feet). Installed new counter top and dishwasher. Replaced 4 ceiling fans, 6 lights, a bathroom counter, 2 faucets, doorknobs. Repaired drywall in ceiling. Replaced soft exterior wood and porch column. Caulking. The project list was extensive. I may have forgotten something!

They were great. We are fixing up an OLD house to sell and there was noting square, nothing a standard size, yet they made it look like new. They were there when they said they would be or sent a text well in advance. They cleaned up all their mess, and did several little repairs we found after we had signed the contract. Bottom-line, I would never look for anyone else now that I have found them!
They were extremely courteous and professional. I would recommend them highly, and I will have them come back again!

Never showed for appointment for estimate. Never called. We had a miscommunication about the appointment. Although we initially communicated via email, he normally confirms by phone but I was unaware of that. Even though he never looked at the project, I appreciate his candor. Looking back I should have noticed he didn't respond to my last email (when I said yes to the date and time he proposed) and tried to confirm the appointment myself.

He returned all call, when the weather was bad he called or emailed to reschedule. He was polite and courteous and worked quickly. He actually finished sooner and refunded me part of his fee. I would totally recommend Allen. He is a breath of fresh air, a throwback to the time when honest hard work was the standard.
Description of Work: Allen lifted a privacy fence that was too low for my liking. He repaired a broken well pipe and gave suggestions for my sprinkler system.

My experience with them was very good. He was right on time, went over and above the call of duty for hanging the curtains and measuring and he even went to purchase them for me because I'm disabled and he did a fine job. He was very kind and he also added a kindness of his heart fold the table for me, kind guy.

I found Allen here on Angie's list, I called Allen about getting an estimate to build a front porch on our house when he came out and started talking to us he was a very nice and polite young man and when we told him how we wanted the porch build and that we had all the material to build it he said he had no problem using our material we then told him that we wanted the porch to be 10 x 13 and a hip roof on it then Allen told us that he would call us later the same day with an estimate and he did call us back the same day and the estimate was a very good price so we got him to build our porch on the first day of the job Allen and his crew were very polite and nice to my husband and me after they finished the porch it was just the way we wanted it now we are having him give us and estimate on putting siding on our house. Allen's prices for his work is a great price and we will be telling our family and friends that if they need any work done to call Allen because he is very great at building

Our front doors are cherry wood with mahogany finish with embedded leaded glass and they are 20 years old. We must maintain the wood every spring. However, with the amount of rain we had this spring/summer we had to wait. It was time. I found Allen on Angie's List. We called him on a Saturday and were very impressed with his promptness in giving us a free estimate the next day (Sunday) as my husband & I work. The next Saturday he came to spot test the door to match the stain. Two days later, Allen came and prepped the doors and stained. The next day he applied finish. On top of that, he corrected some splits in the wood from age and weathering. The overall completion was perfect! The doors look brand new! We'd had done in the past by others, but nothing compares to the absolute perfection performed by Allen. We highly recommend him. We will DEFINITELY use his services from now on. Thank you, Allen, for a fantastic job!

First and foremost I want to say what a genuine pleasure it was to have ALLEN and his crew work on my house. I have owned this house for over 22 years ... being a long distance owner has its many challenges especially with contract work. Needless to say, Allen and his crew were TOP NOTCH and TOTAL TEAM PLAYERS from start to finish. If character and integrity counts ? which I think it does you will get what this man says he will do. The craftsmanship and quality is simply OUTSTANDING. Initially, I had 3 General contractors come to my house (ALL from ANGIES List) and provide respective bids ? ALLEN wanted the job from the GET GO ? His enthusiasm, his price point and hard charging efforts made him an easy choice. Very smart on the respective building codes and his expertise on HVAC matters is excellent. This recommendation did not happen by accident ? ALLEN earned it ? the old fashion way ? HARD WORK.

We called Allen because our sink wasn't draining very well. We are on a septic system but the kitchen sink seems to drain to some other area of the yard. We had the drain unclogged two years ago and it was running slow again. Tree roots were the problem. I called Allen because he had done some work for us in the past and we were very pleased with both his work and his price. He came out within a couple of days. Initially he thought that the drain line from the sink wasn't at the proper angle and replaced those. When that didn't make a difference he got a hand auger and tried to unplug the stoppage from under the sink. Again that didn't solve the problem. He returned after the weekend with a rented power auger and cleaned up the stoppage by augering from the roof vent. That solved the problem. He also fixed some shingles that were loose and needed caulking. We have used Allen in the past and would certainly use him for future projects. He is honest, reliable and priced fairly.
Description of Work: Unclogged drain line to septic tank with electric auger which was rented. Replaced drain line under sink. Patched shingles on roof.
