When they arrived they looked at the two bathrooms that I wanted cleaned. After looking them over they told me that they could not clean the grout and that the walls would have to be completely redone. I was not happy that they didn't do the work that was stated in the Big Deal.
Response from L&D Renovations LLC
"1) You are a Liar! 2) We were not there on June 6, 2012, but on March 12, 2012. 3) You hired L&D Renovations to re-grout/re-caulk your shower NOT TO CLEAN THE SCUM OFF THE WALLS AND FLOOR. 4) Even though it was not part of our signed contract with you, my Husband and I went to Home Depot to purchase cleaning materials to clean your grout and tile... (AT OUR COST) 5) We did however clean the SCUM off your walls and floor only to see cracks in tile and grout lines… (Before & After Pictures Were Taken For File) 6) We verbally notified you and wrote on our contract to which you signed, “Customer hereby acknowledges that the shower has tiles that are bowing and that there may be damaged drywall & studs”. (Where you signed, it clearly states that “Customer was satisfied & approved work performed). 7) When a Member purchases a “Big Deal” for “Grout & Caulk” that is self-explanatory. It does not mean that the Contractor comes out and performs miracles… 8) SUGGESTION: Don’t be such a PIG! Clean your shower! And if you can’t or do not want to, hire a MAID with some elbow grease and not a Professional Contractor! 9) I guess at this time, I should ignore the proposal that you asked us to prepare for the shower remodel!"

Some of this has been answered in the response above. All of the work was well executed. My main problem with the business was this- I had many many things to do that day, in connection with the marketing of my deceased mother's house as well as other matters. I was in and out of my own house frequently during the course of this work (which was outside work). Athough I was paying for four hours of work by two people, every time I returned to the house one or the other worker (mostly the husband) was on the phone. One time the two workers were just standing in the front yard yakking when I drove up. Additionally, about three times when I was home the relative asked to use the restroom and didn't come out for about 20 minutes. He did not appear to be ill, and I suspect what was happening was that he was in there with his phone texting or whatever.
When the wife was there both men stayed busy but she left them that morning and then did not return until toward the end of the work. When the cat is away....
There was additional work with landscape timbers in the backyard which did not get started. Although they might not have finished all the work we had discussed with steady work, I think they could have made serious headway into the backyard work. Although everyone is entitled to some breaks during work, especially outside work, I do not feel that I got the amount of work that I paid for, and I feel that a chunk of the work I paid for was used to conduct business or personal activities by phone.
I would use this company again because the quality of work done was fine, but I would be sure that I would be there the whole time, and would insist that the phones be left in the truck except during reasonable breaks.

"1) I will address each complaint as read 2) First of all, I would like to say that yes you did purchase a “Big Deal – 2 Handymen for 4 hours” but if you can recall this, it was 3 of us that showed up to work… Thus knocking your 4 hours down to 3 hours as explained. 3) My husband on the phone? That is the biggest joke ever. We have been married for 30 years and I as the one who pays the bills can verify that my Husband, Leo has never used more than 300 minutes, yes, 300 minutes per month using his phone… Now what you may have noticed is that he always had an earpiece in, but OOPS, he was listening to his music. (DUH!) 4) OMG, you pulled up to your house ONCE as you stated and you saw my Husband and Employee yakking! What, are people not permitted to speak to each other on your property? 5) Our Employee is not a relative… What because he is black and my Husband is of mixed race (Cayman Islands), you assume they are related? NOT GOOD to think that way! 6) As for the bathroom, I’m sorry, but as my Mother had always said, “YOU CAN’T STOP NATURE!) If that was a problem for you, you should have let me know and I would have then taken him to the closest public bathroom… (Oh wait!, you would have probably complained about that too!) What someone does while on the toilet, would be no one else’s business… PRIVATE TIME? 7) Ah! Thanks for the approval of taking breaks… Especially when it was 90+ degrees outside… 8) HUMM! Cat’s Away, huh? Well, when the home owner does not have all the materials on the job site as the “Bid Deal” stated, and I have to drive to the store to purchase the materials to complete the project(s), then yes, the Cat was away! 9) As for hiring us again, please do not! L&D Renovations has not and will not work as SLAVES for anyone. No Homeowner will ever tell us when, where and how to do our job… We are Professional in every part of the field and if we do not or cannot complete a project, we will notify the Homeowner at that time… 10) Good luck finding Slaves in this day and age!"

L&D Renovations did handyman jobs around our house that we just hadn't had the time to get to in the last year:
Secured lifting boards from our backyard deck
cleaned and stained deck
Put up two motion sensor flood lights
Installed Light housing by front door
They took time and care with each job and made sure we were happy with the end result prior to leaving.
We will use them again and recommend them to friends and family.

I waited months for their to be time on their schedule. They claimed to be so overbooked from the Angies List Promotion.
I finally received an appointment.
The appointment was re-scheduled.
They came at a different time unannounced from any of the appointments made.
They worked on the shower for several hours correcting the grout. They went to Home Depot to get the grout. They told me not to use th shower for 2 days and left.
When we used the shower on the third day, there were holes in the grout repair that was done.

"Well, it looks like someone is having a bad day... This Member purchased his "Big Deal" on January 30, 2012 to which we emailed him on the same day with our Excel calendar showing our first available date was February 21, 2012. Since we did not hear from him, we again emailed an updated calendar on March 9, 2012. It was months before I received a call from this Member. He stated that the previous workers did a terrible job and that he needed a professional to redo. He also stated that he had the old grout containers (bags) and that he would email me a picture. We finally heard from this Member again on September 17, 2012 to which we scheduled him on September 19, 2012. I showed up as scheduled and explained to the Member after viewing the project that I noticed that grout was missing in several places on the shower floor and that there was also a puddle of water that had collected in the corners and between the tile (NO GROUT PRESENT). I removed the old grout and prepped for new grout, but after I mixed the grout to specs and returned to install grout another puddle of water had formed in the right front corner of the shower floor. I grabbed the dry-wet vacuum and tried to suck up the water only for it to continually appear. At that time, I notified Member that there may be bigger problems than the filthy/missing grout. He stated that he had been taken showers for several months even though the grout was missing and asked that I continue to grout as scheduled. Now, anyone with common sense would know that there is a reason other than looks for grout. It is to seal the tile joints so that water doesn’t get into or underneath the existing tiles… OOPS, I guess that is where he didn’t use his common sense... I in fact made sure that I wrote on his invoice the following: “Arrived and found grout missing from floor corners – Explained to Member that there may be some water damage below tile @ pan area”. As for showing up unannounced, that one is funny… L&D Renovations is so busy that we just pop by people’s home “UNANNOUNCED” to do work that was not scheduled??? Think before you type. Our invoice states September 19, 2012 between 10am-11am and that is when I showed up. As for not using the shower for 2 days, that is correct. The grout needs to set, but again, if there is water that has collected under the tile, there is no hope for any grout and again, I verbally told this Member about the problem as well as stated it clearly on the invoice before he signed off under the statement, “Customer’s Approval Of Work Performed”… I know we are in America and that allows all of us “Freedom Of Speech”, but when you fabricate a story, outright lie and defame the character of our company that is going a little too far. At no time from September 19, 2012 up until today, have you called our office to explain the problem. Instead you used Angie’s list to vent your problems that may have nothing to even do with grout, L&D or Angie’s List. (Pretty Sad!)"

They replaced all the outlets in my home. They came out and completed the job in a timely manner. They were prompt and showed up on time. Everything turned out fine and I was satisfied with there work. There was no hidden cost as we agreed on the cost up front.

Our master bathroom shower grout was discolored and would not clean up with Clorox or X-14. I called L & D and arranged a date for someone to come out to give an estimate to re-grout. We were told that we would need to purchase some material at Home Depot for them to do the job. A woman from L & D came out, gave an estimate, and completed the work. She worked hard most of the day and did a terrific job. She appeared to be very skilled and knowledgable. The new grout looks great. We thought the company was reasonably priced (although I can't find a record of what we paid.) I believe it was under $200. The price of the material we had to buy at Home Depot was probably under $20.

Donnagh came out quickly to give me an estimate and squeezed me into her full schedule. It was raining the day of the job, yet they worked where they could and waited out the rain to complete the job the same day instead of rescheduling. A couple of days after completion, we noticed a portion of one roof eve that had been missed with wood rot. I contacted Donnagh on Friday evening and she came out the following Sunday to make the repair.
Very responsive team and did good work. Would recommend to others. Just be prepared, their schedule stays full

Donnagh of L&D quoted the work. She knew exactly what was needed and provided a very reasonable quote. She originally scheduled the work for two Wednesday's later, but was able to squeeze us in the next Friday. (5 days early)
Her crew worked diligently throughout Friday until the early evening. On day 1, one complete room's flooring and moldings were completed and the second rooms flooring was about 90% done. Also on day 1, much of the kitchen cabinet work had begun. They then offered to finish up the work on Saturday.
On Saturday, all of the rest of the work was completed. Again, they stayed until the early evening. They made sure to clean up all of the work areas and discarded all waste. They also packaged up any extra materials and left them in orderly piles.
Everything went very well and I'm very pleased with the work. I would definitely use L&D again in the future.

Overall, the project took a little longer than expected but only because it was my fault for not getting the window ordered in time. They were patient and pleasant throughout the process and answered any questions that I had. They also came on time and stayed until they completed what they could that day. They didn't complain and they didn't slack off. In the end, the new bathroom shower with a new window and sliding door looks amazing. I am using them again to gut an entire master bathroom.

From the start, Donnagh and Leo were straightforward, professional, patient and accommodating. While they had no reason to go beyond the terms of the Big Deal, they did so and were pleasant throughout the process. If Home Depot had gotten the dimensions right for the start, L&D would've been able to finish the job in one day. It was difficult to get them to come back because they were so busy with other jobs and had to reschedule a couple of times, but Donnagh always either called or returned calls or emails promptly to reschedule the job. Those were hiccups and not indicative of their work ethic or their professionalism. I have used them on another job and will use them on a third job.

Donnah, her husband and nephew were delightful. Donnah was extremely prompt in providing an estimate of her services. She was the last contacted of several businesses and the first to provide her estimate. Not only was she prompt, but her estimate was a substantial savings over her competitors. Her company was on-site for approximately a week and workers were prompt and courteous. I'm very happy with the quality of work and her company truly provides "Quality work @ a reasonable price" She updated and stayed connected throughout the project in person, calls, texts and e-mails. I will definitely use them for future home projects.

I had them come out to preform the work and they took 8 hours to complete what my husband said could be done in 4. I could barely tell any change in the backyard when they completed. They were listening to the radio and talking on the phone while working. They were also teaching someone how to put a screw in and other basic construction techniques. The forwoman wanted my husband's opinion on how to complete the work but he was not home and I told her that he would not be home for several hours. I was then billed for the extra time they spent waiting for my husband to arrive. They did not sperate the different patterns on the flooring to make it look more like real wood. It was the worst experiance I have ever had. I will not be allowing them to come back to home.

All the tools and items they needed where there with them.After we handed all the materials over to them they started work right away with no breaks! They are both very knowledgeable and professionalas well as very friendly and helpful.They also left our place very clean at all times and cleaned up after themselves.We are looking forward to call them again when in need of a good Handyman Couple.

I did not get 2 Handymen for 4 hours, instead I received 1 female Handyman for 5 hours. I was told her husband the other handyman had to do laundry that Saturday. We did have to reschedule once and change projects which I do appreciate, but I expected 2 Handymen to come as advertised. The closet maid system was professionally installed and I do appreciate the quality of work.
Response from L&D Renovations LLC
"I, Donnagh, Owner was the only person to show up because in an email received by you, you stated that the original "honey-do" list changed to only closet shelving... I didn't think that 2-3 persons were needed... Email is as follows: "I went to Home Depot this on Saturday and could not find what I wanted for my garage work bench area. You came out on Friday to talk about the caulking outside of my home and then we regrouped for a work bench. So because I could not find what I need for my garage work bench, I decided to forget that project and work on a closet organization system in my craft room/spare bedroom. Would you be willing to put together one of those close maid closet systems with the labor hours that I paid for from Angie's list? I hope this is OK, because the only time I could use my boyfriend's truck was Sunday and so we bought everything. He works the night shift during the week and I work the day shift during the week. So we had to find something on Sunday, since you and your husband are coming on Saturday. This would be for my back bedroom closet and it would consist of 2 towers, with drawers 4 drawer on the lower half on each tower, uppers would be empty (just shelves that are included). This would go in the middle of the closet as the closet is 7' 3"" long. Then use bars on both sides for hanging clothes. The towers would be bolted to the wall, since the are tall and I don't want them to fall over when I put stuff on them. Let me know what you think and how much time you think it would take to put them together and install them". Project was completed within the time frame and as you stated, you are satisfied... If there was additional projects besides what was spoken of (which were canceled on your part", then L&D should have been notified so that we would know how to schedule."

They came as scheduled on time and got to work right away. They walked the entire house with me and asked what I needed repaired. Durning the inspection they even found some issues that I had missed and offered to correct them for me. Once the inspection was finished they got to work right away and split up to take care of the projects more efficiently. I had scheduled them for 4 hours, but they were so quick and efficient they were able to get done in less then 2 hours. For my kitchen drawer, they said it was a project that would be done best if they could take it back to the shop. They said they could have the drawer back to me later that afternoon or first thing in the morning. As promised, the drawer came back the next morning, and was rebuilt from the base using new, stronger, materials and reinforced to prevent me from having an issue again. They even brought some extra paint with them to fill in a few spots they had missed the day before, without my even asking them to do that. Overall, great team, and I look forward to working with them again.
