I used Angie's List to get help for a small deck (240+ sf) refurbishment project and was referred to the Alpharetta, Andy Oncall office. I received a call to set an appointment with one of their handymen 2+ weeks out, 7/22 at 10AM (no email confirmation). Monday, July 22nd around 10 AM, I get a knock on my front door and it's the handyman from Andy Oncall. No pre-phone call or reminder prior. I take him back to show him the deck. It had just been pressure washed and it was showing all its warts. He tells me that only 20% of the wood can be used and that I will probably need 20-25, 12-16', 2x6 pressure treated boards. I wasn't surprised and also asked to have the lattice on one side replaced (6 6x8 pieces, and 10, 12', 2x4s) and the deck repainted. He wanted to include a trash bin, too. He said he would price it out and get back to me. Yesterday, I received a quote to replace all the boards and extras for $7200 plus $1160 for materials. I priced the materials at retail to be $750 w paint. It's at most a 2 1/2 day job and he's charging $7200 for his and maybe a helper's time? $4000 would have been a high bid. I am certain I can get a new deck built for $8000. Does the extra $4000+ cover the Andy Oncall markup? I wait 14-20 days for an estimate that says "I really don't want this job but I will do it for $8400". What a total waste of my time!

It went well, repaired the hole, painted and cleaned up. He even checked in the holes to make sure critters had not made nests inside.
Description of Work: Pesty woodpecker holes in stucco on 2-story house. Maybe a little pricey but no time to compare since birds were flying in and out of the holes (I think preparing to settle in for the winter!). The last person I used charged 2/3 the price but did a horrible/patchy job so I am happy with Andy on Call.

It did not. I will stick with the little nice guys instead of the ones who have gotten too big for their britches
Description of Work: Need some simple furniture put together. I requested a quote online and neglected to put the picture and link to the item with it. When the woman called, she was rude, condescending, and just plain nasty and made it plain that Andy on Call did not want my little business. She said they can not give price quotes without looking at the item. Their carpenter was to call me to look at my set up a time to look at my cube shelving and ikea bed. I waited since Oct 6 and one of Andys on Calls many competitors had no problem giving a price after looking at a few retail pictures and I picked one and got it done the same day.

Hello [Member Name Removed], after going through every record and call log we have no evidence of you calling our location. We believe its a possibility you have us mixed up with the Marietta location. They are of very close proximity of our location and unfortunately this happens often. You're not even accurately describing our process. We don't allow carpenters to schedule appointments or call our customers we do that in our call center ourselves. We're very sorry for your frustration but we would appreciate it if you could allocate your feedback to the appropriate location we're individually owned and not affiliated other than the same brand. Thank you so much! Owner, Doug Parker

To be honest, I had a near bad experience at first with the handyman that came in the first time. He did the job but the finishing quality was horrible. He promised to come back and fix it but after 2 weeks, he never did. To make the story short, I discovered that the handyman was no longer working with Andy OnCall (that is why he finished and left on a hurry). I have to give this company a perfect A because the way they stood behind their warranty and the way they handle the situation. They send another craftsman quickly and took care of everting at no cost to me (not all companies will do that).The craftsman was always on time, professional and clean. You can definitively see the difference in quality, and now, I am extremely happy with the results. Quality was near perfection! I will definitely call them again for my next remodeling projects resting assure they are a serious company that will make sure you are satisfied with the job done. Moreover, their one-year warranty is impressive.

Dear Ms [member name removed], We apologize for your frustration. In speaking with the craftsman he mentioned that you have a large tree over your house and that is perhaps why your gutters are continuing to fill after we cleaned them out. Unfortunately we don't have any control over them refilling. Our suggestion is perhaps you may want to consider installing gutter helmets. This will keep all debris out of your gutters. Again we apologize for your frustration. Andy OnCall

Hi, thanks so much for the review and your business. Please call us next time you need something!
had them come out to quote repairing some rotted wood around a picture window. While they were here, asked about filling in some post holes around an iron stair rail outside, figuring if it wasn't too much, I'd have that done as well. For the window repair, the quote was about $935 for labor to repair the wood PLUS Materials- and they weren't sure that's where it would end since they hadn't opened it up. I could buy a new window and have it installed for not much more. To fill the small 3 inch holes on the stair rails - $300+Materials - really???? When I asked what their rate per hour was - they said that's not how they work - it's by the job. And it would take at least 2-3 days for all the repairs - including 4-6 hours just on the stairs. They 'ran out' of quote sheets and hand wrote the quote on notebook paper. I told them I'd talk to my husband and they said they would email the quote to me. I still haven't seen the formal quote. I fixed the post holes myself for a whopping $9.00 and it took all of about 15 minutes. I'll never call this company again. I think they drove into a nice neighborhood thought - here's an easy way to make money
Description of Work: Provided me with a quote. I

Hello [member name removed], We spoke with our serviceman Gabriel about the quote he provided you and it was to do the following: -Remove hardie shake siding and hardie trim around second story 6'x6' window. -Remove window and flashing -Inspect for additional rotten framing and or sheething -Repair rotten window frame. -Re install window (second story) -Properly install flashing above window -Re install hardie shake siding -Re install window trim -Remove and patch interior drywall around garden tub -Caulk and paint siding and trim -Paint drywall inside -Drill out broken concrete around rail post ( metal) -About 10 holes 2 handrails -Remove handrails and reset -Anchor rails with anchoring cement. So it appears the quote was for much more than filling a few holes. In addition Gabriel stated that you turned down the estimate which was why we didn't send you a formal quote. Which we fully apologize for. We should have forwarded the quote anyway. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you! Andy OnCall

We have a couple closet bi fold doors that continually kept coming off the track. He came out and recommended that the track completely be replaced. He promptly went and bought the parts and got to work.They open and close so much more smoothly now. He was very professional and punctual, and too the time to clean up the mess he made. I would definite call him the next time I require a handy man.

For each item, - I talked through with the handyman and he gave me a reason why he could not do it or could not say if it would address the issue. "I am not an electrician" (yet the company advertises that they do electrical work and I confirmed this when I made the appointment. A valve that was leaking in my sink - the response was, "if it were me I wouldn't fix it". I called bc i want someone to fix it. Very much a waste of my time.
