Wonderful. I almost hate to give a good review, because I don't want him to be so busy that I can't use him again, but with all his good reviews I think it's too late for that! They were booked but squeezed me in since it was mostly small items on my list. Everything went well and I am so thrilled to have these things working right again. He seems to be able to handle most any job, and I will definitely call on him again.
Description of Work: Changed five locks with deadbolts and keyed them the same, replaced outdoor floods with new motion sensitive ones, replaced dimmer switch, replaced lights in garage too high for me to reach, repaired light pulled out of ceiling by a kitten chasing a moth (really).

Total Home Repair was totally booked but found some time to come install my ceiling fan. Brent showed up on time, assessed the job and got right to work. My ceiling fan is oversized but Brent did not let that stop him. He had to improvise in some areas but got the job done! You could tell that he is skilled in what he does and takes great pride in the quality of his work. I was very comfortable in having him in my home and look forward to our next job.
Description of Work: Installed a ceiling Fan on an 18 foot ceiling.

Brent did a SUPER, SUPER job in renovating our house. We had a running joke that in every home renovation you always run into extra projects. When he and Jody were removing the sheetrock in our garage, he discovered a wall stud board that had been eaten up by termites from 2 years ago. The termites have been gone for 2 years but the wood needed to be replaced. EEWWW! Then, we wanted some more painting done on walls that had NEVER been painted and on ceilings that had never been painted from 1968! Brent and Jody took these extra jobs in stride and never ever seemed impatient. Time after time, Brent would receive or take a phone call from a prospective customer. I would hear Brent patiently explain, " I am ______ weeks involved in projects" but will be happy to give you an estimate on a future date. Running a home business as we both do, I can certainly relate to Brent's response to prospective customers. Brent would tell the caller, "there is a reason your other contractor can perform the work the next day"...and he is ssssooo correct! Contractors, like Brent and Jody, are a rare find and THESE FOLKS ARE WORTH THE WAIT!!! Ya'll will not be disappointed by Brent and Jody!
Description of Work: Re-attached bathroom cabinet behind toilet in J&J bathroom. (Non-AL contractor hadn't bothered to secure this in the stud, only the sheetrock!) Added 3 more handrails on staircase in basement. Painted our foyer, hallway, living room, sunroom and master bathroom. Removed the redneck contractors posts (supporting the sunroom) where one post was not secured to the concrete floor. Brent ordered steel posts with flanges at each base and secured them to the concrete basement floor. The wooden post was "jimmy-rigged" to fit by adding a wedge of wood to the top due to having been cut too short. Cute...if you ever have a recommendation from a contractor with the last name of Singleton...RUN!!!. Replaced old weathered framing in our garage and painted our garage floor as well as painting the L-shaped front porch.

General renovation of a house we had rented out; Work was professional, little cleanup, cooperative. Brent found things I had missed on inspection and reworked them. He constantly reminded me to call him if I saw something later with which I was not pleased. At the end of the first week, I had to arrange to have money in my checking account as he does not accept credit or debit, but I was advised far enough ahead that it was not an issue.
Description of Work: Removed popcorn ceiling, painted, repaired doorbell, corrected improperly installed range vent hood (done by someone else), telephone wiring problems corrected, doors hung.

Total Home Repair is extremely professional and easy to work with. They did a great job installing the hardware on all of the doors and worked with our schedule, making two trips because of some issues with the hardware. They also installed the electrical outlet without any issue. I would trust them with most any home repair.
Description of Work: I wanted the door hardware changed on all of the doors in my house and needed some dead bolts added. I also needed an electrical outlet installed for a garbage disposal.

I thought Brent did a good job until today. I met with a realtor who pointed out the one bathroom wasn't painted completely and another bathroom had the ceiling left untouched. Baseboards were left uninstalled. This project went on and on and on. Slow and sloppy.

Response from Total Home Repair
I have done multiple jobs for the member and they have all met with his approval. Now all of a sudden one year after the work was done he has decided to voice his disapproval. I did a complete walk-through with this member upon completion and I know all ceilings were painted, If a piece of base was not nailed down (And I'm not saying it was) it was an oversight and something I would correct. I would have even repainted the ceiling (again) at no charge. I thought we had the kind of working relationship that I do with most of my customers. If he found anything that he was unhappy with he should contact me, so that I am aware of it, and can fix it to his approval. (As I told him when I left). Guess his "agent" had their own people they wanted to give some work to. My pledge is to make you happy BEFORE I leave no matter what. This member was happy, told me he was happy, and never even bothered to pick up the phone to let me know otherwise. (Even one year later).

We realized he was way to far away to help me however he spent time with me and helped me analyze the problem of a leaky shower. I was so upset about the wet floor and carpet in the lower level that I didn't know what to do. Brent is very knowledgeable and was so very helpful and would not accept payment for his time. Pick Brent and i think you will be well pleased. Thanks,

Very well. Brent had to go to Home Depot to purchase a new light fixture for the ceiling lights, also being thoughtful in purchasing replacement bulbs, and had to enter the attic by using a ladder on a few occasions which wasn't easy in a cramped space; cleaning of deck was a hard and laborious job; getting rid of water stains was effective although a small one in the living room was painted over and, though hardly noticeable, is slightly whiter than the rest of the ceiling (but I'm the only one who knows this). Ceiling fan was replaced and new one functions beautifully. Punctual, very knowledgeable, hard working and professional team. I have recommended Brent to several friends and will certainly use him in the future.

We had a problem with a light in the garage that we couldn't shut off except to unscrew the bulb. After Total Home Repair replaced the switch, the problem persisted. They did a thorough analysis and found there was a short between the "hot" wire and the neutral wiring causing the light to stay on all the time. He discovered that two wires were touching somewhere inside the wall or ceiling. He isolated the search to the wire between the switch and the first light. He cut into the drywall, located the short, fixed it, replaced the sheetrock, mudded, sanded, painted. While I was trying to decide what to do to solve this problem, Brent at Total Home Repair actually contacted me several times to make sure I understood this was a potential fire hazard that had to get handled. I appreciated the personal responsibility he took toward the job and how quickly he completed the job. His fix worked! The quality of his workmanship was excellent and the wall looks even better than it did before! Thanks, Brent!!!

He said he left something on the roof while cleaning, so he was going to come back and sweep the roof, but he was too afraid of heights and had somebody else that does it for him. He was going to contact me, but he never did. He was also going to help me out with my bathtub and he never got back in touch with me. When we talked to him about the tub he said he was able to fix it and patch it up or I could get a brand new one, but when I said we could just patch it up I didn't hear nothing else from him. I guess it was such a minor job, so that was it. He said he was going to send me emails and pictures just in case I changed my mind about getting a tub, but he never sent that either. I tried to reach him numerous times and he never returned my phone calls. I even tried to text him. The gutter cleaning was fine, it was just we couldn't get back with him. I also thought the price was a little bit too high. The gutters were cleaned out right, but he left a bunch of straws on top of the roof.

Response from Total Home Repair
First and foremost let me say that I strive to provide good service (as reflected in my numerous posts) to everyone and want to make sure everyone is happy. I came to (member name removed) home to access a plumbing issue that someone else attempted and could not solve. Upon inspection I discovered a small pinhole in the tub. At that time I told her I could patch it (but it would definately look patched) and I wasnt sure how long it would hold. I recommended installing a new tub. She said that she and her husband would discuss it and she would let me know. She then ask me if I cleaned gutters and I told her yes. It had rained the morning of so the roof was wet and not safe to walk on, so i cleaned all the gutters from a ladder. I explained that there was some debris further up the roof but I couldnt reach it safely and it would have to be done later. From that point on I never heard from her again, no phone calls, text , or e-mails. I assumed they got someone else to take care of it or found a cheaper price. I regret to hear that she is displeased and would be more than willing to assist her in any way I can. just in case there was a mix up my # is 404-578-9998. E-mail is thr1990@charter.net.

It was great. They assessed the problem within 30 minutes and made arrangements to return the next day even though their schedule was overloaded over the next three weeks. They fixed the problems the next day in less than two hours and charged a great price. We couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: Our exterior wooden door would not close easily and allowed light to come shining through. A previous contractor work on the door for eigh hours over several days. He made the problems worse. More light was coming through and the door was even harder to close. So I called Brent at Total Home Repair and he came out the next day to review the situation. He returned the next day and fixed the problems in less than two hours for a great price.

Brent was wonderful to work with, very pleasant, knowledgeable, resourceful and friendly. He did a wonderful job ridding our basement of rodents, and we will most definitely use his services again in the future for a variety of needed handyman jobs. He also charges extremely affordable rates for his work!
Description of Work: Brent took care of a pest control problem we were having in our unfinished basement, and also repaired a squirrel-hole in the roof fascia. This required several follow-up visits, collapsing of tunnels the rodents re-built, sealing work in the basement (cracks in walls, ceiling), trap-setting and baiting. Brent always called in advance to schedule follow-ups, arrived promptly and on time, and performed the work thoroughly and efficiently. He also repaired a roof leak at a skylight.

I asked, since we were having a lot of drywall work done, that they vacuum and clean up the debris as the work was done. They did exactly as I asked and there was no awful tracking of drywall mud or dust all over the house. You would never know there had ever been an ugly chair rail because the quality of the repair is so good. I'm thrilled that the guest bath shower is now working. I am also impressed that Brent took the time to make sure that the sconces which were removed were replaced with handy boxes inside the wall, making the capped off wiring safe behind the wall. Brent and Jody may smile at my odd colors, but they do a really good job getting an even coat and a good finish on the flat paint I prefer. They also take great care to make sure that blinds and floors and furniture are protected from paint. Our ex-dining room needs only to have the shelves to transform into the library of our dreams. They do good work, and they listen. We can't wait for them to come back and begin the next step!
Description of Work: Brent and Jody removed an unwanted chair rail, repaired the drywall, removed and safely closed off wiring for three removed wall sconces. They also repaired flaws in the wall, sanded it and painted the room . They listened and put on the second coat I wanted without argument. They caulked and painted all the trim in the room and also painted the door. Brent also repaired the lock plate for the front door, repaired the plumbing for the guest bathroom shower.

This is the third trip here for a list of repairs or replacements and they NEVER dissapoint. They are an absolute delight to work with. They take pride in everything they do and everything is accomplished with professionalism, expertise and in a timely fashion. They show up on time or early, complete the projects within the time they say they'll be done and never complain if we add more to their list of things to do. Total Home Repair is nothing short of Stellar. We've used them three times and will never call anyone else. Their charges are more than fair and with them purchasing what they need, it saves me the time of trying to find and buy something I know nothing about. I don't think there's anything these two guys can't do. They DO EVERYTHING and do it perfectly. I see there are two Total Home Repair Company's listed with Angie's list. The one we use and HIGHLY recommend is Brent McCurdy's Total Home Repair on Brown Bridge Road, Covington.
Description of Work: On this most recent trip, they Purchased and installed new door for furnace room. Painted two coats on two decks and a gazebo, purchased and installed 100 feet of fencing and made a gate on one side. Purchased and installed two light fixtures. Repaired light switch over stove. Purchased and installed flag poll. Adjusted sensor on awning. On previous trips they installed new door frame on shed door, pressure washed the house and shed after bleaching bad spots, installed a new window in master bedroom, replaced screen on door, Installed 50 cabinet door handles and drawer knobs, painted all window and door frames on exterior of house and shed, Installed new kitchen faucet. Completed my bathroom faucet installation. Sealed crack between addition and orignial wall in ceiling from addition settleing. Researched and found correct replacement for French door and French window in dining room and installed.
