It went okay as he did the job as he promised. The only problem is that I can see exactly where the repairs were made.

I had a list of 5-10 items around the house. He said he usually worked with 2 other guys and charged $500 to work from 7 AM to 2 PM. Since I needed to get my kids ready in the morning, I asked him to show up at 8 AM. He agreed and was punctual. However, when I stopped by at 12:45 to see progress, there was no one in sight. I called him at 1 to see what was going on, and he told me they decided to knock off a "little early". Of course, he still planned to bill me for all day. Really, I'm going to pay these guys to work for 4.5 hours at the full day rate? Ridiculous!! I asked them NOT to return the next day.

Nothing but promises, not kept....
Description of Work: I no you don't rate services not preformed, but you should. It is just as bad to be put off repeatedly and never show up let alone return your many calls. I think he has a bad conception of the love of God.

Greg and his helper were prompt, efficient, easy to work with, and very knowledgeable. They removed all the damaged and mildewed wood, drywall, and trim... then replaced it and painted. They made it effortless for me, they did a fantastic job. I will definitely use them again. They can do just about anything.

Excellent!!! This job took two days to complete. When they came to give us an estimate, he removed the shelf brackets, spackled them, & it looked great! The next day they came out & removed popcorn ceiling, taped seams & did a fantastic job!!! Hubby Richard finished painting the inside of the garage a pretty bright blue color & I love it - it looks great!!!

Went very well. Greg and his associate arrived on time were very pleasant and gave me an estimate for the work. It seemed reasonable so told them to proceed. They took about 2 1/2 hours to complete and the final price was as indicated. Greg did very well hence my A rating. I would use him again.

It went well. I initially hired him to fix the soffit and he recommended fixing the leak that was causing it. He gave me the option to hire a roof person or he could do it. I asked him to do the whole job. He was punctual and worked efficiently for 2 days. We asked him to do a few other things around the house while he was there and he didn't charge for it. He's very honest and helpful with advice in what to do to prevent any further issues. I was very impressed and had an overall good experience with him.
Description of Work: Fixed a leak in the roof, replaced a couple tiles and the peripherals including a couple pieces of soffit

Contacted him based on reviews on Angies List. Very nice person and easy to work with. He was late to our first appointment, but on time after that. He did 2 days of work, plus a small amount of supplies for the cost. I felt that he did a good job overall; however, I also felt I paid for time that he was learning (I learned that he had not installed a microwave/hood before so it took him 2-3 times as long as someone with experience. Overall the work was good quality. However, the caulking job in the bathrooms was not what I was expecting. Gave me a receipt for items he bought, but it included tools he will keep and reuse for a long time.
Description of Work: Multiple small jobs on a newly purchase rental house. Installed dishwasher, garbage disposal, 3 faucetts, and microwave/hood including electric outlet. Repaired leak under kitchen sink, cleaned up, and installed covering to improve appearance. Recaulked kitchen and bathrooms. Installed bathroom fan.

He is inadequate at trouble shooting problems with hanging ceiling fans, slow and expensive
Description of Work: He hung four ceiling fans 2 new ones and moved two existing ones. It took him a full day to do this even though the two new fans were hunter five minute fans. The two news fans work well, but both existing fans that were moved wobble badly and Greg said he didn't know how to fix that!

Greg arrived to go over the list of repairs I had prepared in advance of our meeting. He said he didn't know how he could figure an estimate for the job, but if he could start with just one of the projects I could see if I liked his work. Although it was not optimal, we agreed that he would do some rotted wood siding and molding replacement on the garage (approximately 100 sq ft all together). He told me the job would cost a set amount per day (6 hours, a high hourly rate for both him and associate) but was very vague about how long it would take. I thought it would take a day as it wasn't a very large job and there were two people working. When I got to the property the first day the painter (very nice guy) was using a little three inch roller on a long pole to prime the wood panels and moldings, and Greg was trying to figure out how to make the paneling he bought fit. After looking at it another twenty minutes, I told him to cut up higher and buy another panel of the wood (their hourly rate was more than twice as much as another panel of wood cost). I met him at the property at the end of the day and was very disappointed that so little had been completed. I asked Greg how much longer he thought it was going to take and he said 2 or 3 more days. I said no. It must be done tomorrow. They finished, except it was not painted, parts of it were not even primed, and the quality was not very good (for instance, a 1 X4 board put up above the garage door was flush at one end and filled with about 1" of caulk at the other.) Greg then informed me that in addition to the supplies he had purchased for the job, that he had needed to use some of his supplies and he would charge me for those as well ( an approximate 3X10 foot piece of tar paper for which he charged me $50). When I went over the receipt for the supplies he had bought I found he had purchased concrete filler which was not used. I asked where it was? He said it wasn't in his truck but he would drop it off within the next couple days. Both of these men seemed nice, polite and friendly. I have no problem with either of them personally. I feel, however, that the work was under-par, overpriced, and slow.
Description of Work: I contacted Greg to give me an estimate to do approximately 12 interior and exterior handyman projects on a residential property.

We were very pleased with Greg and would use him again.
Description of Work: Greg completed multiple items at our home over about 3 days. He changed many electrical outlets, caulked the shower, patched holes in drywall, fixed doors, put in a ceiling fan, painted and added some trim on the outside of the house, changed shower head, fixed some issues on door frames, multiple other items and even fixed a bed frame that was coming apart. We were very pleased with Greg's work and would use him again for any handyman work. He was always here when he said he would be and was very thorough and dependable in his work.

Complete renovation of older bedroom, never finished. Horrible walls (60 years never painted, had over 80 holes). My project started out with half of the items on the list above. Greg and his assistant are extremely patient. Greg is a real pro, and as he said once, he also knows when he doesn't know (how to do something). Most of us have older houses and can appreciate what a rare treasure it is to find true craftsmen And who are ethical, responsible, reliable, friendly, and reasonable in pricing. His assistant, Elvis, handled all the painting chores which involved changing colors the next day in some areas, and a lot of trim work and the walls just look beautiful with rich and warm colors, and a professional finish all around. Our shower handle broke in the middle of the project and Google told me forget about replacing. Greg knew where to go to reconfigure another handle and saved us a lot in emergency plumber visit and we would have had to buy an entire kit, not just the handle. Greg's Home Improvement will be our new go-to handyman service. We had a small awful bedroom and now we have a cozy, comfortable room to enjoy. All the skills and attributes you look for when hiring someone for your home projects is here. Greg and I discussed how happy we Both are with Angie's List too, which is where I found his service. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: Bedroom Renovation. Removed jalousy window, drywalled and insulated to create continuous wall panel.Painted entire room and ceiling, detailed job with trims and two colors plus white accent. Removed screws, anchors, patched holes. Painted outside window wall. Removed ceiling fan/light and installed ceiling light fixture. Installed wood blinds. Installed large TV wall mount. Attached TV to mount. Installed vinyl baseboard. Found shower handle replacement and retrofitted. Repaired and strenghtened bed frame. Installed bed headboard to wall. Moved and returned bed to room. Hung large mirror. Installed closet shelf, and double hanging rods. Removed all old materials, complete clean up.

The process was very easy and painless. Greg arrived when he said he would and completed the work to my satisfaction, even going above and beyond the minimum reqquired. I had a friend staying at my house while I was away, so he let Greg in to do what work was required. When I returned September 17, not only was the leak fixed, but Greg also had finished the other three projects I had mentioned. In addition, he had bought some paint to match the paint in my home and had repainted where he had worked. Greg was completely professional and very thorough. He also was extremely accommodating. When my friend unexpectedly needed a ride, Greg took him and then brought him back again. I will definitely use Greg for other projects as they crop up and also will recommend him to the Homeowners Association for my development.
Description of Work: Greg came in response to a problem I was having with leaks during heavy rainstorms. He honed in on the trouble right away and showed me what he would need to do. I was leaving for an extended trip August 24, but before I left, I mentioned, almost as an afterthought, other projects I would like him to do - setting a medicine cabinet into the wall and also recaulking the stall shower, as well as fixing what appeared to be a leak in a wall near the front door.

Greg and Tom arrived on time every day. Took appropiate breaks dduring the day and did a thorough clean up every day. They didn't play loud music, shout or otherwise behave in any manner other than that of a good Christian worker. Throughout the job Greg or Tom would keep me posted on unexpected findings. If they tried to up-sell me on a portion of the job, they gave me the facts and didn't pressure me. They did not overcharge for the service performed and offered to leave unused materials or scrap. I need them for another job that would cause many to laugh but they took the time to understand and reserved judgement. I like that. Greg and Tom are professional, courteous and genuinely nice people.
