Red Barn Handyman

After repeated calls, left VMs, emails, etc., NONE of which were returned, I finally gave up. How can you run a business if your never return a communication from a prospective client? If you're that busy then hire some additional help, but at a MINIMUM, give the caller the professional and ethical courtesy of responding and telling them you can't accommodate them. Mercy me...

I am very happy with the results . Wayne replaced the ridge cap on my roof ; he was very courteous, professional and took care of the job quickly. Dana,the owner of the company ,kept me informed as to when they would be able to complete the job.They supplied the materials needed and hauled off my old nasty ridge caps.

They did a great job! The faucet was 20 years old and I could not get it off at all. the joints and hardware were "frozen" They resolved my problem, replaced hardware that I got to leak, and did an excellent job of all of it. Also, the shelves in the closet had ripped out of the wall. They carefully installed a new system, even tying it into the surviving shelving system. Dana and his helper were professional, pleasant to have in our home, well experienced in what they were doing, took their time and did a neat job. When finished, they carefully cleaned up. I will definitely contact them in the future!

Dana has been doing work for us for more than a decade and we trust him implicitly. He has always provided quality, professional service at a fair price. The Red Barn Handyman is our "go to guy" for all those odds and ends...and larger projects as well...that we need done. If you need something done...and done right...call The Red Barn Handyman.

Red Barn Handyman was there when he said he was going to be there. His price was right on, just as he had quoted. He did a really nice job. His prices were good. He told me he was going to come back tomorrow to finish up a few things, but he actually already came out today and did it. His responsiveness is perfect. He is very professional. I'm keeping his card on my refrigerator. We've got a few other jobs we'll be hiring him for.

The storm door installation went fairly smoothly but was pricy, $150 for an hour or an hour and half work. Dana was pleasant and professional for this job so I decided to try him to paint my garage walls and floor. The price he quoted me was around $125 labor to paint the garage. $50 to clean off a shelf. When he got there he said that was for the walls only and did not include the inside garage door, ceiling and trim so this would be another $250 labor which I thought was high but I reluctantly agreed. Then, he suggested he could paint the garage floor but never gave an estimate. He started the work then emailed me that night it would be another $400 labor and he would have to do 2 coats and visits! Dana and his assistant (a man from Cameroon) took everything out of my garage and put it in the driveway for 3 days. What a mess! I told them they were disrupting my home and suggested they give estimates before proceeding with work. Mind you, all these prices are for his labor only. I spent hundreds of dollars on paint, supplies, floor primer, etc. I had to make several runs to Home Depot wasting a lot of my time. We had discussed him doing some shelves but when I questioned the high fees he was charging and the lack of estimate the next morning he came back offended became very unpleasant and said he would not do the shelves and he just finish the garage floor. His demeanor and his assistants demeanor became disrespectful. For the $800 they were there from about 9am to 3pm (with luch break) and the second day just an hour. Their sloppy cleanup was about 45 minutes, he had told me it would be another $150 to do some organization. Every small task was another large labor charge, great work if you can get it! FYI, as of 5/24/2013 doing a name search on www.myfloridalicense.com it states under License Type "Certified Residential Contractor" and under Name is Dana A. Treadwell, Name Type is Primary and under Status/Expires is "Eligible for Exam." I WOULD NOT recommend this individual or company.
