Description of Work: Recently we needed some plumbing repairs that required taking apart part of the deck Tim had built us last year. Tim came the day after I called him, removed the boards and replaced them after the plumbers were finished. You can't tell that any repair work was done...the deck remains in perfect condition! Everything Tim has done for us has been top quality.

Description of Work: Fixed gate, installed window alarms & put together cabinet. These guys were awesome. Todd responded to my request promptly. Came within three days to do the work. Putting together the cabinet was not on the scope of work that day but they had a some time before next appointment so they started on that project and got it almost complete. Super nice guys.

Response from Reliable Handyman
This person never contacted me by email or by phone. If they had it would have been very easy for me to come see them, because they live on the same street as I do.

We found Tim on Angie's List and his reviews were high. We decided to give him a call. Tim came over and gave us an estimate on the work. He told us what materials we needed prior to him coming over to do the work. We had quite a bit of leftover tile from the previous owner and we wanted to use as much of this as we could to save money. We didn't have enough to complete the entire job so we elected to purchase additional tile in a different color and add a border. Tim's estimates were spot on. Tim is very busy so we waited three weeks for the appointment. Prior to him arriving we removed the old carpet, padding, and strips. This also saved us some money. Tim showed up as agreed and right on time. He worked one full day on removing old vinyl tile, leveling the floor, and placing the new tile down. Tim showed up the second day, on time, and completed the rest of the work. Tim was very quiet working, was very clean, and did not leave a mess. He disposed of all materials and no tile dust was left anywhere. He cut all the tile outside. This is a pet peeve of mine so I give him huge props for his cleanliness. We are using him again for a small roof repair job, installation of a couple skylights, and gutter replacements. He is now our forever handyman!
Description of Work: Tiled the family room, approx. 11 x 12 with porcelain tile. One tile type was 16 x 16 and a border color 12 x 12.

Tim was very prompt and always professional. He is easy to contact and great about getting in touch with you. He worked in a timely and efficient manner and did an excellent job on the variety of items that we needed repaired. He has a variety of carpentry skills. We are already starting our next list of items that we would like Tim to do for us in the future. I would highly recommend him.

First time we hired Tim Porter was for water damage to sheetrock ceiling in living room & a tongue/groove ceiling on a porch, both from a roof leak. Everyone else we called said replace L/R ceiling, Tim suggested cutting out the damage & patching it, requiring more skill, but less mess and was less expensive. The finish tells the tale, you can't see the repair. The porch ceiling was covered with vinyl when we bought this 60+ year old house so water damage & neglect had it in bad shape. He thoroughly prepped, cleaning up any stained/rotted wood, scraped & sanded every inch, primed & painted it. Five yrs later, it still looks new! He's since; insulated under whole house, tiled bathroom floor, replaced & added to privacy fence, re-tiled shower floor, replaced siding, rebuilt a deck and completed many a 'to do list' of smaller repairs, fixing a sticking door, add weather stripping etc. PRICES ARE FAIR, HE'S PROMPT, HONEST, KEEPS HIS WORD, SO IS VERY RELIABLE & HAS AN AMAZING WORK ETHIC.
Description of Work: When we need any kind of home repair or renovation my husband's answer is always the same,"Call Tim and get a price"!! We don't even shop his prices anymore, we just have him do the work. We do have to sometimes wait a bit to have non-emergency work done as he stays busy but he's here when he says he'll be here and does a great job.

Fantastic, from the initial estimate until the final texturing Tim was punctual, polite and respectful of our property/home (ensured he put down protective layers in the area he was working in). The final product of his efforts were awesome, once painted cannot tell that there was even an issue. Due to his high quality repair work, be prepared to wait as he is a first come, first served type of contractor, however as in our case, if he can fit you in he will. Definitely worth the wait!!!

Outstanding! Tim Porter is versatile, professional, prompt, persistent and personable. I recommend him highly. The work was completed in 2.5 days. Tim accepted and completed a part of the job (the skylight shafts) that two other "handymen" had refused to consider. When through, he left the work areas spic and span.

Our experience with Tim Porter was great. He responded promptly to our phone call, came over and looked at the house, and gave a quote on the spot He showed up to do the work on time and worked every day until it was done. His work was of excellent quality. Part of it involved taking up broken tile which had been improperly laid two years ago by a previous repairman. In the kitchen and dining room no underlay had been used. In the bathroom he discovered the tile had been laid over underlay which covered an area where there was a large hole in the floor. Tim was able to put in sub-flooring, then underlay and tile. Other work involved outside pressure washing of eaves and deck, pulling up a rotten mail box post and putting in a new one, replacing a rail on the deck steps, making repairs under the kitchen sink and re-attaching hinged cabinet doors that were off, putting a new closure on the front screen door, installing smoke alarms, and re-painting all interior walls. Tim's work ethic is impeccable, and his work is superb. We will definitely use him in the future. We were in a real bind because the previous repairman wouldn't respond when called. In retrospect we understand why. We are so happy that we discovered Reliable Handyman on Angies List. Thank You Tim!
Description of Work: Based on Angie's List recommendations, we engaged Tim Porter to make repairs, lay tile in kitchen, dining room, and bathroom, pressure wash deck and eaves, and re-paiint interior of a small rental home in Panama City.

He does such a good job and everything he does is amazing. He just did a fantastic job from the first job he did for us. He was so particular and so meticulous with it. He was punctual and very dependable. When he says he is going to do something, he will do it. We just ask him how much, we write a check, and we just let him do it. He is so trustworthy. He even has a key to our house. He is very reasonable too.
Description of Work: We used a man from the beach for handyman services. His name is Tim from Reliable Handyman, which is an excellent name for him. He painted a ceiling for us. First he scraped it, then he hand sanded it. It was like tongue and grooved wood but it had been covered up for a long time and had gotten some water damage. And he made that ceiling look like brand new. To this day, there has not been a single flake of paint peel off. It looks as good right now from the day he did it. He did everything in our house from the porch ceiling, to installing the tiles and the new floor in one of the bathrooms. He built a fence for us, and three weeks ago, he also built a deck. I can't even think of all the things he has done. Anything we've had to have done in the last three years, Tim did it. Even if he was busy, I would wait for him to do it.
