Brett was incredible. His attention to detail and painting skills were 1st class! He never seemed rushed just a genuine concern to do a great job. He always kept me informed of his progress and gave me great suggestions. Always went above and beyond in all that he did. He repaired and replaced items outside of what he was paid to do. I have several more projects and he will be the only one I call.

I was so pleased with Mr. Camper's work that I have hired him to do some painting for me. He is a very pleasant, hard-working man. I would highly recommend him. He cleaned up all mess, hauled the carpet/padding to the dump. He did not take breaks but worked steadily for three and one half hours. He truly makes the wants/needs of his customers a priority.
Description of Work: Removal of carpet and padding in living room and hallway.

He did an amazing job. He did everything from painting the walls, the trim, the doors, to even cleaning the ceilings. Since we were still living in NY at that time he always kept in contact, texted pictures of before and after...just kept communication open. He is a pleasure to speak with, well mannered and very courteous. Aside from being a painter he is a jack of all trades. His prices were very reasonable. I would highly recommend him and definitely hire him again in the near future.
Description of Work: My husband and I just recently moved from LI NY to Palm Bay FL and we purchased the house before we had a chance to live in it. We wanted the inside of the empty house to be freshly painted before we moved in. We asked Brett to paint every room and every wall.

Brett returned my call right away and came to my house to quote the job within two days. His quote was very professional and he stated as part of the quote all of the things he would do. His price was right in the ball park and knowing exactly what he was going to do was a big decision maker. Brett's quote stated the brand of paint that he would use and it happened to be the same brand that Consumer Reports recommends as their suggested exterior house paint. Other quotes that I received just said a price and not what the plan was. We have received many compliments from our neighbors and two of them have asked him for quotes. I could not be any happier with selecting Brett and the job that he did. We have asked him to come back to do some other work for us. I just retired and want to get the house in shape, we are adding gutters, pool improvements, landscaping, roof and fence repair and with all of the contractors that we are working with we needed a home run to keep in the game and finish strong. I must say that we have selected contractors only from Angie's list and have been very satisfied.
Description of Work: Painted the entire house and around the pool area. Repaired all holes and cracks in the walls and walkways, power washed the house, driveway, and all cement around the pool and patio.

The work that he did was wonderful. He took two days to prepare for the job. He filled the cracks, sanded them completely, and pressure washed the entire house. He worked very hard. I had a lot of cracks on my home and he filled them all. I told him that there was a paint color that I really liked that I saw on another house. He actually went to the home, asked what the color was, and went and got samples for me to see them on my own home. He went above and beyond for me! The preparation that he did beforehand was unbelievable! He even took off all of the screws for the hurricane shutters so that he could paint them beforehand. He also pressure washed the back slab of my porch and my bench which he did not have to do at all! He truly took a lot of time and care working on my home. It?s such a beautiful job and I felt as though it was extremely reasonable. He was very friendly and professional. It was about 94 degrees while he was working and he didn?t complain once. I would recommend to him to friends and family.

I initially called and waited 5 days before he even returned my call. by that time I had forgotten about him. When he spoke he sounded so busy and preoccupied with his home and then he was not sure when/if he could come out........excuse after excuse. I just hung up the phone and considered myself lucky.
Description of Work: Nothing. Decided not to use him because he always returned calls weeks after contact or not at all.

Response from The Happy Camper Handyman & Homebuyer
I am sorry you feel you had the experience you did. I responded on the same day as initially contacted me (NOT 5 days as you stated ), as well as a follow up the next day , as you can clearly see by our email correspondence at the end of this message .. Sometimes scheduling is hectic and not all customers can get their availability to coincide with mine . I clearly recommended to this client " If it is urgent to you , you may want to have someone else look at it ." My apologies for my part in this . When someone hangs up on me for no reason , I consider that insulting and a confirmation that a client changed their mind . PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING EMAIL TRANSCRIPTS TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF . Thank you , Brett Camper FROM: [member name removed] 10/11/2014 The timer on my sprinkler does not work. What is your price to repair. FROM ME : The Happy Camper Handyman & Homebuyer 10/11/2014 Depending on where you are located , there will be a $20 to $30 service charge to diagnosis the problem. Then I can give you an estimate of the repair cost . Thank you for your inquiry . Brett FROM : [member name removed] 10/12/2014 I live in Palm Bay off Malabar Rd. I am available this Monday and Wed. 561 232 0445 FROM ME: The Happy Camper Handyman & Homebuyer 10/12/2014 I will touch bases with you Tues. , super busy so I may not be able to get to you this week . If it is urgent to you , you may want to have someone else look at it . Thank you much , Brett www.brettbuyshouses.com

He was very nice, but showed up after his estimate (good price) and turns out he couldn't do the job. He was on site for 3 hours and got one piece of moulding up and then was honest and said he couldn't finish because he didn't know how/have the right tools. Waste of time and frustrating.
Description of Work: We contacted him to hang crowne moulding.

[member names removed] , My sincerest apologies for this experience and for wasting your valuable time . My tools were indeed inadequate for this job and my oversight was unacceptable . Thank you for your understanding and accepting my honestly and decision to turn the project over to someone else with no charge for my time . I learned a great valuable lesson to ensure this never happens again . Best Regards, Brett Camper

I have used Brett for several types of work around my home for about 7 years. Price, quality, honesty and expertise have always been top notch. He often has ideas that are better than mine. I have found that if Brett says he can do something it will be done really well and if he doesn't believe he will do it well, he will say so. I would and have recommended The Happy Camper's services to others. I've never been sorry and neither has anyone I have known.
Description of Work: Realigned and installed sprinkler line; painted great room and bedroom; installed faucets in kitchen and 2 bathrooms; installed Lazy Susan unit in kitchen blind cabinet.
