I was given a very reasonable estimate, and he stuck to it. When additional problems were found, he told me in advance, and gave me a very reasonable add-on estimate of $50, which I approved. He worked over a several day period, and completed all work in an excellent manner. He is a true craftsman, who takes pride in his work, and does what he says he is going to do. OUTSTANDING HANDYMAN - I'll be using him again for other jobs in the very near future.
Description of Work: Replaced all siding on exterior fireplace and several rotted out gable-end siding. Dobey found some structural damage after removing the old siding, and replaced that as well. Cost included all materials and supplies. Work was EXCELLENT!

Dobie was very pleasant, returned calls, and arrived at appointments on time. His estimates and charges were reasonable, and his work was skillful and backed by experience. I would recommend him to anyone needing a handyman or for a larger construction job. Although he only charged $80 I gave him $100 because he deserved it.
Description of Work: Hung picture, adjusted closet door, light electrical, installed hanging cabinet unit.

Response from L & D HANDYMAN
The day I was scheduled to start, I called member and told her I was still working on two other jobs and I didn't know when I could get to her job and rather than wait for me she may want to get someone else. She asked me if I still wanted to do the job and I said no. I didn't want to keep rescheduling her based on the unknown completion of the two ongoing jobs. I did tell her what materials she needed for her job and she had agreed to purchase the material to have ready for starting her job. The material I suggested she get was approximately $50 to $60 of which all should be returnable. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused her.

HE TOOK A SHORT LUNCH BREAK AND OCCASIONAL CIGARETTE BREAKS DURING THE DAY, BUT OTHERWISE WORKED STEADILY FROM 9-5. HE COMPLETED THE JOB FOR EXACTLY THE PRICE, AND IN EXACTLY THE AMOUNT OF TIME, AS HIS ORIGINAL ESTIMATE. I WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN WITHOUT HESITATION.

HE HAD A BLOCK WALL THAT HE WANTED ME TO DRYWALL. I SENT HIM A QUOTE AND TOLD HIM IT DID NOT INCLUDE A DELIVERY FEE. HE SAID OK. I GOT MATERIAL AT HOME DEPOT AND WHEN I DELIVERED I NOTICED ELECTRICAL BOXES MOUNTED TO BLOCK WALL. I TOLD HIM THE STRIPS WOULD NOT BRING THE DRYWALL OUT FAR ENOUGH TO MAKE IT FLUSH AND I TOLD HIM IT WOULD NEED 2X4S AND I TOLD HIM ANOTHER DELIVERY FEE WOULD BE NECESSARY AND HE AGREED. THEN I HAD TROUBLE FINDING NAILS, WHICH COST $50 A BOX WHICH I CHARGED HIM FOR. I DIDN'T CHARGE HIM FOR DRIVING AROUND LOOKING FOR THE NAILS.

Rebuttal: Dobie said the member did not complain to him and, in fact, said that they indicated that they were satisfied with the work. She also said she was going to file a good report. The member would not allow me into the house to use the bathroom or bring me anything to drink.
Description of Work: Painting touch up, built a deck and put lattace around home. Mr. Mc Caskill came w/ no supplies, not even his own ladder. He made mistakes on the material list, then blamed me when it was wrong, until I showed him.
