L&D Renovations LLC

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.

Excellent. They showed up on time and did an excellet professional 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 contacted this company after reading about them on Angie's list "Pages of Happiness." I wanted them to replace/repair my kitchen cabinets due to water damage. The company was not good about returning my phone calls promptly, but after about a week and a half I was able to schedule a time when the company would come to my house and give me an estimate for the services. The company was supposed to come by between 12-2 on Saturday. By 2:30pm no one had come to the house, and no one was returning my calls. To this day (3 days later) I have still not received a return call yo even explain why no one showed up for my appointment. I am disappointed with the professionalism of the company.

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.

It was great working with Donna, Leo and Daniel. They could not have been more flexible and capable; they were ready to do anything and everything. I was very pleased with their work and they are also very nice to work with. I would definitely contact them again in the future.

They arrived promptly with 3 people and each one worked on a different project. I was very satisfied with every project and woud definitely recommend them.

They first meeting included an estimate as well as a good discussion about what is possible and how can it be done on a limited budget. They showed up on time. 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.

I typically would not write a report for just an estimate, but I am making an exception because of the professionalism that went into L&Ds proposal. They designed my kitchen which was wonderful. They listened to all my needs and incorporated them into the design. They were punctual in their correspondance with me and they were the first to respond with a design. They were gracious when I told them I'd chosen another company, not for anything they did or didn't do, but for the actual cabinets. I fell in love with a cabinet they could not supply. I would recommend them and would call them again for future projects.

Very positive. I would use L&D again.

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.

Their crew showed up as planned and quickly assessed the work that needed to be done and got right to it. They did a great job at cleaning out the old caulking and applying the new stuff. I found them to be very friendly and professional. I plan to use them for future projects around the house.

Donna was prompt, professional, and carried out the job quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend her and/or use their services again.

Donnagh was great. She single handed the entire job. We definately plan to call her for a much bigger job(renovate an entire bathroom)

The work L&D has done for me so far includes the following: Painting the walls and woodwork of a 600-square-foot garage apartment, repairing a leaking AC vent, fixing some fuse-box issues, and checking to see if I had any electrical problems in the garage apartment with some switches and light fixtures. This work took a team of three people (Donnagh, her husband Leo, and a young man named Ricky) two and a half days to complete, starting Wednesday, May 23, through Friday, May 25, 2012. They picked up all the materials they needed and provided me with all the receipts for those purchases. They arrived to work promptly at the time promised each day, calling me right away if anything came up to cause any kind of delay in arrival, and letting me know at the end of each work day as to how the job was going and if the estimated time of completion was still on schedule. They finished the entire job at the time they promised, late Friday afternoon. As for the work itself, it was outstanding. The paint job looks just beautiful, and it was such a relief to have my AC vent repaired (a job that my usual HVAC company made a huge production about and didn't seem at all confident they could actually fix). I was also very happy to have my fuse-box issue resolved and receive an honest opinion that I did not, in fact, have an electrical problem with my light switches--I merely had a situation in which the former tenant had not replaced a single burned out bulb. L&D replaced all my bulbs for me and didn't try to convince me I needed thousands of dollars of re-writing, or some such (as another handyman might have done). They cleaned up after themselves when they were done, and Donnagh also threw in several other extra services for free, including removing a stubborn stain on a kitchen counter that a maid service had not been able to resolve and caulking all the kitchen counters because Donnagh noticed they needed it, something I had overlooked. // In addition, Donnagh, Leo and the third member of their team, Ricky, were and are unfailingly considerate, pleasant and professional in their attitude toward me as a customer. I had specifically asked that the work be completed while it was still light out--which is something I ask of every contractor--so that I could see clearly what they had done when I performed the expected customer's post-job inspection before final payment. Donnagh took this request as a matter of course (unlike a nightmare of a handyman I used several years ago who finished up the job late at night such that a true inspection was impossible, and towered over me and yelled at me that my wanting to do an inspection was a ploy to cheat him until I gave in and paid him--and, of course, not surprisingly, his work turned out to be really shoddy, much of which I'm now asking Donnagh to re-do). Donnagh understands thoroughly that a business's reputation and customer goodwill are extremely important if that renovation/repair company hopes to get repeat business, and L&D will certainly get repeat business from me. // Finally, let me state that I can recommend these hard-working professionals without reservation. I am delighted to have found a company that is fully qualified to help me with any home repair or improvement needs I can think of now and in the future. Anything they cannot do themselves, they have long-term relationships with other professionals, including plumbers, electricians and so forth to augment their own multitude of talents for any job I might need to have done. A company this good is, understandably, very popular, so they book up as much as 6 weeks in advance for a job. However, if a customer has a real need for a rush job, they are willing to work night and day--sometimes 12-14-hour days and over weekends, and without apparently charging extra rush fees--in order to do that emergency work to keep a customer happy.

Came out on a Saturday. Punctual, did a great job, and cleaned up after themselves. This is the second time that I have called them over the past few months. I have been pleased with their work and plan to continue using their services as needs arise.

He didn't even test the chandelier with a light bulb, and it was also crooked. I didn't particularly agree with his electrical advice. I later had an electrician out to help me and mentioned the chandelier was falling apart. I was going to have them out for another day, but I ended up not calling them back. The lady also hung something really heavy with using good heavy duty screws but it was off center. I told her that I didn't think it was center and she said she used a level.

They were very pleasant to work with, were here on time every day and worked late each day to get the job finished as soon as possible. They left the house each day with the work areas cleaned up and materials put away.

Not very well. They were very late arriving. I waited hours in an empty house for them to come. The ceiling fan was done properly. The bathroom faucet was installed, but the sink stopper was not functional and the unit and had to be re-installed by someone else. The kitchen faucet was a big problem because it was corroded, but she was able to replace it properly. My son had just purchased the house and had other work that was supposed to be done, but since she was so late arriving, could not be completed that day. She asked to come back the next day, and my son declined.

They were very punctual and the estimate was provided before the work was started. They explained that the blades on the fans were drooping because of the age of the fans and that the blades could be reversed allowing gravity to correct the problem or the brackets would need to be replaced which is what I opted to do. The other work was completed in a very efficient and professional manner. I am very pleased with the work and will definitely be using them again.
