Went well. Happy to come across Chris!
Description of Work: He did a number of renovations, changed the toilet sit, sink faucet and the light fixtures in my common bathroom; also changed the mirror, light fixtures and the faucets in my master bath. And a number of other projects in the house. Great guy; I didn't expect him to show up on time because of the heavy downpour; was surprised when I heard a knock on my door. An excellent professional. I will keep his contact for a long time,and have already started giving his contact to friends..

He came out early one morning to provide a quote and came back two days later to do the work. He was courteous, punctual, and the quality and neatness of his work was beyond reproach. We were concerned about how the soffitt would look having to cut it for the conduit, but Chris cut the holes to a perfect size and it looks great. He painted the conduit to match the brickwork of the house and help it blend in. In the future we will certainly call Chris to do any other projects that we may need to have done.
Description of Work: Ran approximately 100 feet of thick heavy duty cable from electric meter panel, up through soffitt into attic, ran it the full length of the house, down soffitt and to a disconnect box on the back side of the house. Included in the price was all of the material (circuit breakers, conduit, paint, etc.) He also painted some ugly flashing on the sides of the house to match the brickwork.

Chris was able to contact me and complete the job within a week. He installed handrails in both the entrace hallway and the main hallway. He removed and replaced the exhuast fan in the bathroom requiring him to enter the attic to adjust the wirering. He removed the old folding type closet doors and replaced them with sliding doors in the bedroom. He also made some repairs to some outside vinyl that had come loose. He did a very good job on all.
Description of Work: Installed and stained handrails in the hallways. Installed handrails in the bathrooms. Installed new exhaust fan with light in bathroom. And removed and replace closet doors in bedroom.

Chris was great! We will definitely use again. We recommend him to everyone in the Pensacola area.
Description of Work: We called Chris's Home Repair to help with a few needed repairs for our rental home in Pensacola. He called right back and we set a date for the next week to meet him at the home since we don't live there. He was prompt, courteous, and told us what he thought needed to be done right now and what he thought could wait until the tenants moved out. We asked his opinion. His price was on point with his quote. Since we don't live there, we asked him to go buy the items needed. He repaired the garaged entry door, removed the old mailbox and replaced it and repaired the missing bricks. He also replaced two sets of flood lights on the second story of the house (including buying the bulbs), and bought and installed vinyl siding on chimney, secured chimney pan, and secured vinyl siding and fascia (all on second story). We are definitely planning on using him again for more repair when our tenants move out.

The guy did a fantastic job. He is not tech savvy and does not do the email and things like that. But that is not negative at all. He is very thorough and polite and showed up on time. He is very dependable. He actually did an install in a rental property of mine as well and did a great job. I will be going back to him for all my home repair needs in the future.
Description of Work: I used Chris's Home Repair about six months ago. He put in a stove for me.

Points for showing up and attempting the work. But overall D for doing such a lousy job. Wish I could give him better because he seemed like a really nice guy. He should have called me rather than ducking and running after he was done.
Description of Work: I hired Chris to put up some expensive crown molding on my cabinets, because I did not have the time or the expertise in making angle cuts. I decided to hire him because he had come once before regarding a bigger job to give me an estimate and he left a good impression. I decided to do that job myself because I had the time. I talked on the phone with Chris about the crown molding job, he came and did the work while my wife was here, but left before I got home at 5pm. I was less than impressed, and wish I had just done the work myself. He left significant gaps on many of the corners and failed to use the additional trim need to give the crown a finished look.

Response from Chris's Home Repair
Member, I have read your review and I am very disappointed in your comments. I would like to clarify the dates and the cost of the services performed. I completed your job on March 4, 2011 in the amount of $175.00. It is with regret that I am now hearing from you almost two years later that you were unhappy with the crown molding. Why did you not call me? I would have returned to correct the crown molding to your satisfaction. You asked me to add crown molding to the cabinets that you installed. The cabinets that you installed were not hung properly, and the cabinets were not aligned accurately making it very difficult to install the crown molding. After I installed the crown molding, your wife was very pleased with the work and I was paid for my services. In response to your comment that I was “ducking and running” is very unfair and I am not sure what you meant by this comment. I performed my services and I left after I was paid. I left a voice mail this morning and I would appreciate you calling me back so that we can discuss this matter. I regret that this review is being posted two years after my services was completed and that I was not contacted immediately so that I could return to make any changes that were needed. Sincerely, Chris Creverling Chris' Home Repair

We set up a time for Chris to look at my situation and give a break-out of cost estimates based on how much work I wanted done. We broke the work up into three phases. We agreed to do phase one and wait to a later date to complete the rest. We set a time to do the work and materials he would provide and what I would provide. On the date determined he came with a worker and did what we agreed to for the price we agreed to. Because it was concrete work he had to come back later to finish it - which he did. We had some rain on the day of the work and we protected the fresh surface with tarps until he could return and finish the troweling.
Description of Work: Chris designed and laid some sidewalk. He came up with a good design. He personally did the work along with an assistant he needed because of the scope of the work. I was very pleased with his knowledge of the work that needed to be done and his ability to execute it according to plan.

Chris called back immediately, made an appointment to come by and gave us a written estimate. He was persistent (We are hard to contact as we travel quite a bit.). He was prompt and when he was running late or had to change a date he called immediately. He made suggestions to make the jobs better and did not charge anything extra. He was a hard worker and had the entire job completed in two days. I would definitely hire him again and would highly recommend his services to anyone.
Description of Work: Chris completed services originally begun by another contractor who could not finish the job. He repaired soffitts, put in a new ceiling fan, replace light bulbs in high ceilings and repaired and replaced an outer door including putting in a pet door and new door locks.

Chris responded to my initial call within 2 hours. Timing is everything and he was able to come by that day and assess the jobs, the needed materials and time he needed to allot for the various projects in order to prepare an estimate - which he provided within 2 days. For his estimate each project was itemized - so I could choose all or part of the work to be done. As I am an early bird he was able to work my projects into his schedule. Chris is dependable, arrives when he says he will and he did great work - quickly and correctly. AND there were no surprises - his estimate was the final bill..! When he finished my current projects, I discussed future projects that I was considering - and for one that he does not do, he provided me with recommendations. In my book, that reflected his honesty which counts for a lot. I will be calling him again. I would like to apologize to Chris - I thought I had completed this review back in November when he did the work. While Chris followed through on all his work, I failed to give him credit for such great work in a timely manner.
Description of Work: Chris did a wonderful job on rewiring the main TV cable line (80-90') from the outside connection, through the attic, down the side of the garage door and to the outside where he kept it out of sight by tucking it up under over 50' the siding including where the cable entered the living room - no more cut cable when lawn service trims hedges. He mounted a flat screen TV in sunroom; installed a new motion sensor light at the back drive near the garage and replaced a window screen. Chris was so effecient with his time he was able to take on an additional problem that occured over the weekend - replacing the complete insides of a toilet (valve & flapper).

I found Chris on Angie's List. The repair required some sheathing to be removed, shingles replaced and the gutter mounted. Chris explained to me how he was going to repair the area and some of the difficulties he would face such as matching the color of the shingles. We agreed on the price of the work, the time frame for completion and the types of material he would use.
Description of Work: My mother's house had a gutter over the front door that ripped loose and was causing some water damage. I called Chris on Thursday evening and he came out to the house the next morning. After he inspected the area, he gave me an estimate which was very reasonable. He completed the work the same day and did an excellent job. I was extremely pleased with his expeditious response and his craftsmanship. I would definitely use him again and have recommended him to other family members and friends.

I have been trying to make contact with this provider for over three weeks. No one ever answers the phone and my emails are not responded too. His reviews are so great that I really wanted a quote from him but I give up now. It's too much work trying to reach someone that apparently does not want the business.

Recently, we moved; however, the number listed as 850-981-8331 does have a recording stating that the new number is as listed above. We have not received your emails. Sometimes, emails come in as SPAMS and we do not open SPAM emails. Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience and the impression you have of our company. Chris has been contacted and he will help you any way that he can. Thank you, Chris' Home Repair

Chris did not perform any service for the current project
Description of Work: Chris returned my call promptly . When I described the job, he let me know that he generally does only dry wall repair rather than a large dry wall project. Chris was very professional and helpful. He gave me some very informative tips to use when selecting a contractor for the type of job I had. I will definitely give him a call if I have a job that requires his expertise.

, He's a very nice, easy to talk to and pleasant guy. He provided an estimate, but not written. He fixed everything as he said he would but tended to forget a few things here and there (forgot to bring some materials, forgot to clean up, forgot a big box of screws and hardware on top of my outside ac unit). He was conscientious, on time, and presentable. I'd hire him again but be ready to help him remember the little details.

Mr. Creverling was just the perfect professional. He came to view the job and give me an estimate and he arrived exactly on time. He started the job two days later, starting early and finishing in a very good time. He took the time to explain to me exactly how he was going to fix the problem and didn't agree with my assessment that the tile would also have to be replaced. Not every handyman I've met would do that, some would say yes the whole subfloor needs to be replaced and the tile and then I'd be charged a whole lot more money. Mr. Creverling was honest and straight up. He was personable and next time I need something fixed around my house, I sure hope he can come do it!
Description of Work: Over the space of a few years the subfloor in my laundry room had wet rotted so that a section about 4x4 was sagging downward. I checked Angie's list and found Mr. Creverling with his very high ratings and decided to contact him. I sent an email to him through Angie's list and he responded within the hour. I told him what I thought was wrong and asked him to come inspect the floor. He said he could be there that evening and would call before he set out. He did exactly that: he called me as he was leaving another job and let me know he was on the way. When he got to my house, he crawled under it to inspect the damage. I had told him I thought the subfloor was rotted and that I could replace it but not the tile as yet because of my budget. After inspecting the damage, he said it wasn't the subfloor but the joists. Both termites and water had virtually destroyed sections of four of them. He said he could jack up the floor until it was repositioned and replace the damaged sections of the joists by stubbing new to old. He explained exactly what stubbing was and also described how the frame of the house rested on stainless steel plates on top of the concrete block pier foundation (new information for me!) and he would set the new joist ends on the plates. He came two days later, at exactly the time he said he would and did the job exactly as he described. He had to pull out the insulation in those sections, jack up the floor, cut out the damaged joists, cut the new ones to fit, stub them in and replace the insulation. He crawled in and out of the crawlspace numerous times, to do the cutting but also to check the level of the floor inside to make sure it was properly set. Before it had gaped as much as 1/2" from the inside base boards and more than 3" from the door. When he was through, the floor was back where it belonged and there was no sagging and I no longer have to tiptoe around that area!

He came in and did a very professional job. He did what he promised and it looks good. I was quite satisfied. I will have him back the next time I have something to be done. He was a little bit more expensive than the other bids but I would pay him because he's worth it. He was very careful. I thought it was a two day job but he did it in one day and he just did it all.

I picked this company at random from the yellow pages. I was completely satisfied with the professionalism and timeliness of his work. He went with me to a home supply store to pick out the items I was unsure of what to get. I am so pleased with Chris's Home Repair that I am having him install new kitchen counter tops plus other handyman chores. When that is done I will have him do some repair work in my laundry room. He was very conscience of saving me money. I feel that his charges were very reasonable. You can't miss with Chris.
Description of Work: I wanted a new front door and storm door installed as well as new baseboards and some painting in the hallway. I also needed screening replaced on screen door plus other miscellaneous handyman chores. Chris's Home repair has done it again!!! Had a problem with my sprinkler system. Came out promptly ( within 24 hours). Knew exactly what was wrong and had it repaired within the hour. He also checked the whole system to be sure I had no other problems and did not charge me for the extra time. Reasonable charge for the repaired items.

I contacted Chris and left a voice message on his machine. He returned the call approximately two hours later, asked several questions to be sure he understood the job, then quoted me a price on the project. I considered it to be a fair price so we agreed that he would come out the next day. He called the next morning to confirm that he was on his way and arrived at the agreed time. We discussed the project and he got started. He completed the task in a reasonable amount of time and presented me with a bill for exactly the price quoted by phone. While he was there I also asked him for a hand moving a piece of furniture which he happily did at no extra cost. I will definitely call Chris first next time I need a handyman.

Chris was always timely in returning my calls, and gave me helpful advice while he was here to give the estimate. He arrived on time the day he performed the work, and worked straight through until the job was complete. The last boards of siding went on the house as lightning and thunder for a passing afternoon storm were close by. I helped him pack up his tools in the rain.
Description of Work: I used Chris to remove the old siding on a small section of the house and replace it with fiber cement siding, and to repair any wood rot found along the way.
