Atlanta Custom Construction

I purchased a Handyman for a Day deal to have someone replace a few boards and apply a coating product to my deck. These tasks seemed consistent with the ?minor painting, general repairs? listed for the deal details. The contractor contacted me very promptly and when we discussed the services I needed he indicated the task was more of a custom job than a general service. He indicated custom jobs would be priced separately. Based on this conversation my husband and I decided to cancel the deal and pursue other options to have our deck repaired and coated.

It went fine and the guy did a good job. He wanted to up sell me and get me to do more things. He was a little hard to schedule which was kind of a thing.

knowledgeable, meticulous--a hard worker who pays attention to detail, I've hired Keith Tindle and Atlanta Custom Construction to fix the various odds and ends mentioned above that needed to be fixed in my home, which is a contributing structure in a historic neighborhood. I have been very pleased with the results, and have just hired him to do major work on my kitchen. I have been very impressed with his work up to now: Keith guides you thru the job, offers advice, and makes sure that everything runs smoothly.

He came and worked for 4 1/2 hours. He did an excellent job. He was prompt, professional, courteous and cleaned up after himself.

They came and did a great job of fixing up the leak in my gutters. I would definitely use them again for general handyman tasks.

We had a 49.00 Angie's List coupon for 2 hours of Handyman services and wanted to limit the visit to approximately two hours. For that reason, we didn't request more complicated jobs on this visit. Keith Tindle is the owner of Atlanta Custom Construction and did the work himself. While doing the requested jobs, he was able to advise us on other projects we have to work on in the near future. We will definitely call him again and would recommend him.

The replacement went according to plan and was painted after installation.

He arrived on time. Checked out the roofline to see where rats were getting in. He located the whole and gave a price to fix. From the start he was rude and unpleasant and gave a price and then started adding on. We decided not to use him because thought he was so rude and unpleasant.

Overall, the work was completed in a timely manner and probably would meet most everyone?s standards. I tend to be a little on the picky side, and hesitate to give reviews for this reason. The price was excellent, since I had purchased a last change coupon (2 hours/$45) - but I felt Keith Tindle resented having to do the work for that price. My main reason for not wanting to work with Keith Tindle again was his attitude. I found him to be a little too abrupt for my taste.

Keith is friendly and knowledgeable. He also pointed out a major problem with our soffits (rotted out in spots but hidden by vinyl covers, so I was unaware), but he did not pressure me to contract with him to fix them. He also gave me some practical advice on how to rectify some of our rain drainage issues around the house. I will definitely keep Keith's number handy for future work around my house!

The provider was pretty rude, and blunt. Refused to do the service, or to even come out and take a look at the job without counting it out. Made me feel like an inconvenience from the beginning.

Initially, we were scheduled to meet with Keith at our new house, so he could see the space and understand the full scope of work. Unfortunately, however, the seller (who still lives in the house; we are under contract for 2 more weeks) decided not to allow us in the house on our scheduled day. After scrambling around to find a solution that wouldn't delay the reno even more, we decided to send each contractor we'd called (a total of 4, including Keith) a layout we'd designed online and asked them to get at least a cabinet cost estimate and to meet with us in our current home just to see who we felt we'd have a better working relationship with. From the beginning, Keith was very displeased with this back-up arrangement. He stated several times that he didn't understand how he could give an estimate based on a drawing (it's just cabinets!) and that he'd really prefer to get in to the house himself (us too, but the seller said no!). But, after much convincing, Keith did finally agree to meet with us in our home. Keith arrived on time to our house and was respectful to myself, my husband and our baby daughter. He was a fairly pleasant person to talk with and seemed knowledgeable, however he kept mentioning how good this renovation could be for *him.* (*He'd* really love to do a kitchen in our new neighborhood, *he* sure could use a new project, etc.) Keith also made a point to tell us that he "normally" charges for estimates, but that--again--he really wanted this job so he'd make an exception for us (how generous, considering most of his counterparts give free estimates these days!). During our meeting, Keith gave us two catalogs from his cabinet suppliers as well as a print out one of them did of the layout we designed. I tried multiple times to tell Keith that I didn't need both catalogs (I didn't particularly like anything I saw in one of them), but he insisted on leaving both. The next afternoon, Keith sent a follow-up email to see where everything stood. I did not immediately answer him, as we hadn't heard back from all the other contractors yet, and so--only 2 days after our initial meeting--I get a follow-up voicemail from him... In the voicemail, Keith complains that "some people" like to meet with "contractors like him" and "steal" their information...implying that, since he hadn't heard back from me in 24 hours, that's what I was after, too. He then insisted that I return "his" catalogs (can't he get more from his contacts at the company?!) AND the printouts of MY design! After hearing these things, I certainly had no desire to speak with this man over the phone, so I reply to his email and say that, clearly, we'd be using another contractor but that I would return "his" things the following week (now today), when I'm in the area. I thought that everything was settled after that...until I receive an unknown number calling at 8am this morning...I pick up my phone, only to find that it was Keith, demanding to know why I hadn't returned his things yet. Angrily, I remind him of the email I sent him and ask to never be called again. As I'm hanging up the phone, I hear Keith going on about how he wishes we hadn't "wasted his time..." In summary, DO NOT even contact Atlanta Custom Construction unless you are POSITIVE that you will be using them as your contractor. Otherwise you will be harassed and made to feel like a terrible person simply because another contractor was more professional and better priced.

Keith was very proactive arranging a meeting at our house to review our list of repairs, tackling what he could on the day of the initial visit and buying the supplies he needed to finish the other items on our list. He was polite, professional, did good work and cleaned up after the job. I would highly recommend him as a handyman and will use him again.

Keith fixed our wooden fence in several locations and the gate. I could not be more pleased with the work. He made it better than it had been in the first place.

He completed all of the work according to the details of the Big Deal.

I got in touch with Keith about a small job replacing some rotted wood in a screened in porch. He said he was currently renovating a bathroom and he might be able to help me in a few weeks. I checked in via email and he informed me that it would be another couple of weeks. I told him I couldn't wait. Keith was so gracious, professional and forthright with the entire process. I would still hire him in the future.

Keith provided us with a detailed estimate of all the work and kept good records for costs not included in the original bid. He gave us great suggestions for design, and accompanied us to the tile store to help us purchase the right items. He showed up when he said he would, kept us informed about the status of the project, and completed it as soon as all the parts came in. The subcontractors that he hired (plumber, shower glass installation) were top notch and very pleasant. Keith was sure to be in the house whenever subcontractors were working. We have had a number of remodeling projects done in our home, and are familiar with what it takes to provide good service. Keith was easy to work with, flexible to our suggestions and questions, and a pleasure to have around. We are so pleased with the job he did that we have hired him for a similar project in our master bathroom. If we have other projects in the future we will call him for sure. He did a really nice job.

After purchasing their Handyman Big Deal coupon for $70, in my phone conversation to make an appointment, the contractor, Keith Kindle very abruptly “instructed” me that attaching the replacement fixture to existing wires was electrical work, not a handyman service, and that I should have known that by reading the disclaimer in the description of his Big Deal offer. While I don’t mind being politely informed that this project needed to be performed by an electrician, he never mentioned a code requirement and his antagonistic tone and condescending attitude, overriding my attempts to speak and ask for further clarification was stunning. I finally was able to say “thank you for your explanation” after which the call was summarily terminated. He was on our call late in the work day while driving. I am fortunate to not have encountered his negative attitude after engaging him as a handyman for a project, which, as it happens, I do have need of.

Keith did a great job. I joined Angies List because I had a bad experience with a handyman service in the area. I feel that I got my values worth out of the membership just on Keith's job alone. He grouted and sealed all my showers and tubs. He also installed new toilet paper holders in the bathrooms as well. He was on time. Very mindful of my sleeping baby and considerate overall of my children. He called to confirm and called again from my driveway (as requested) so I could put my dog up. The grout work was great. His quality of work was excellent. He even removed all the old caulk and started over as opposed to just recovering with sealant (like the other handymen services said they'd do). The seams look straight and clean. He cleaned up after himself very well.

He said he would be here on Monday, at 7:30 and never showed up. I called him and he called me back and said that it was just tentative baised on weather he had other work. He then got very upset and told me to call angies list to get my money back and hung up one me.

Great work, very fast and done right.

After I purchased my big deal on Angie's List, Keith called me to set up an appointment. I loved that he did this because it immediately removed this from my to-do list. I described the handyman services I needed performed and we set up an appointment. When Keith arrived, he didn't have all of the supplies needed for the job (my fault, as I thought my husband has purchased window locks for two windows that would not close all of the way). He went to Home Depot and picked these up for me. Again, I loved this because I have an infant and him going out and getting the supplies saved me some time. Keith hung up two shower curtain rods in upstairs' bathrooms that needed to be replaced. But the real work were the windows. We've lived in our home for a year and haven't been able to get two windows in the guest bedroom to stay shut. Part of the problem is that the window locks needed to be replaced but the previous owner also painted the trim, making it nearly impossible to get the upper and bottom windows lined up to a place where we could lock them shut. Keith fixed both windows. As he runs a company that does bathroom remodeling I also showed him stained grout in my master bath and received an estimate on the work needed for this while he was here. Keith was fantastic! My only suggestion for improvement for his company is that he needs to get a GPS system. He had a difficult time getting to our home and was trying to use a map to get here (not possible in newer neighborhoods that aren't on maps).

Keith showed up at the time and dates agreed upon. He worked around my schedule and was a tremendous help as a I am handicapped. He worked at a good pace and got a lot done while there. Keith made sure to keep the work area clean and left the part of my garage he was working in cleaner and more organized than when he started. Keith made sure to let me know ahead of time any additional costs and did not try to overcharge. His prices were very reasonable and work was top quality. I would highly recommend his services as I have had negative experiences with other handymen/ contractors and had none of these problems with Keith.

If you are looking for an incompetent, failed contractor to act as a handyman and ruin your project, this is a unique opportunity for you. Best of luck!!

After several phone calls explaining that I wanted to build a simple base for reused wall unit to sit on, mr tindle came to my house said that I needed skilled carpentry and it was not handy man service. said the price would be $45.00 hr for 6.5 hours, and couldnt do it today because he didnt have the right tools with him. He said the 49 I spent could be applied but I would decuct trip for today since he gave me an estimate becuse although my area was included he felt I was outside the area . It was at that point I asked him to leave. Typical bait and switch.........
