Wonderful! Brent was super slammed with larger projects than mine, but managed to squeeze me in (rain delayed one of his scheduled outdoor projects) because I was desperate to get the mirror frame installed (it was very much in the way uninstalled). He was originally scheduled just for the mirror frame, but I asked if we could add on the other smaller issues because I was impressed with him as a person and his work product after he got there. He added in the extra bits without complaint and even made a quick trip to Home Depot for a missing part that was needed. When we realized a second Home Depot trip would be needed because more was wrong with the closet overhead light than originally thought, he walked me through how to perform the simple fix myself. The pricing was beyond reasonable, and I would use Brent again in the future for any home repair needs. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Custom mirror frame piecing together and installation, overhead light problem diagnosis, armoire modification to fit slightly too tall tv, ceiling fan repair

Total experience was excellent, from initial interview to closing check-writing. Brent is a super 'can do' person who has all the skills necessary to work on your home. Assistant Jody is a superior painter with fine-line detailing talent. We would have been remiss to have hired anyone else. Total Home Repair came in under budget. Don't waste your time doing any other interview/estimates!
Description of Work: Whole house interior painting. Plus an assortment of minor repairs/installation/advice on walls, cable, wiring, windows and gas fireplace.

Brent came in to see what I wanted done and gave me an estimate. He and his associate came on the agreed upon date with all of the materials needed to complete the job along with the receipt showing me what it cost. They completed the jobs in less time than he originally thought it would take, therefore costing me less than he quoted. I would definitely have Brent do other work for me.
Description of Work: Brent & his associate put in a ceiling light fixture, repaired a hole in my ceiling and repaired broken tiles in my shower.

No Follow-up. I sent an email on 12/27 requesting follow-up and did not hear back. Never received estimate for work to be completed.
Description of Work: Contacted Brent 12/12 through Angie's List to determine if he serviced my area. He responded twice via email that he did and we made contact and setup a time to meet to start the estimating process. He explained that he charges a $20 fee for estimates that would be applied to the cost of the job if we decided to move forward with the estimate. He called to confirm the appointment and was prompt when we met the Saturday before Christmas. He took the necessary measurements, proposed possible solutions and advised he would get an estimate to me before Christmas.

I regret to hear that anyone is displeased and try to do my best to make sure that everyone is taken care of. I did meet ms. Member and told her I would get her the estimate before Christmas. That estimate was sent on Dec. 24. I never received her follow-up e-mail or I would have known there was a problem. I assumed she received it , reviewed it, and chose to go another direction or use someone else. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE CUSTOMERS TO CALL. It is the best way to get hold of me and I can rectify any problems you are having. I would be happy to re-send the estimate. But assume it has already been taken care of.

My husband and I were happy with the end results. Brent is someone I would recommend instantly and wouldn't hesitate using again.
Description of Work: He came to give an estimate of repairing shelves in a walk-in closet. Working with Brent was very pleasant. He actually forgot the appointment and thought it was scheduled for the week later. Once I made contact with him on the scheduled date – he immediately came out to give me an estimate. I was informed that he would not be able to start immediately, but work me in his schedule. That I did appreciate because my clothes were everywhere given that the entire closet shelves had fallen. Needless to say, he was able to complete the project in a week.

The good: Brent was clearly knowledgeable. He really spent time trying to figure out where the water was coming from, and he uncovered an additional issue with our patio. (It turned out it wasn't quite the issue we thought it was - the hole was improper, but not leading to the leakage. It was still very helpful). The bad: Although I was clear that I needed advanced notice to confirm the appointment, Brent waited until very short notice to confirm; I was very clear about when I needed to leave, and we barely had time for him to finish - he didn't actually have time to give an estimate on another project I'd asked him about. During the week it took to get his estimate, we uncovered an additional problem and sent him info and a photograph so he could include this info in the estimate. When the estimate arrived, it did not include this info; I inquired and he said he couldn't find it. I resent the info and asked the estimate be reworked to consider it; I never heard from him again. I think he knows what he's doing, he just wasn't able to follow up properly.
Description of Work: Estimate only; was looking for a solution to water that was washing away some dirt at our foundation/footer wall.

Response from Total Home Repair
I am truly sorry to find any customer or potential customer is dissatisfied with any service I provide. When I tell someone I will be coming for an estimate(always on Saturday) I always call on Fri. evening to confirm and make sure nothing has come up. I also tell them an estimated time of arrival so they are not sitting waiting on me all day. This time is an estimate that varies slightly based on weather, traffic, road construction etc. When they give me a time that works best for them I try to adjust my route accordingly and accomodate them the best I can. My estimate included all the items that I looked at on that day. When contacted regarding additional items I informed them that I never recieved their new e-mail and or photos could they please re-send it. I never recieved it and assumed they chose to use someone else or go a different direction. There was never any further contact and assumed all was settled. Once again I am very sorry to hear that they were displeased and wish they would have called me directly.

Overall experience was wonderful and they will be back to do more work for me next month.
Description of Work: They came and repaired my lights in my bathroom over the mirror. The whole light fixture had come off wall and fallen down and was hanging by just electrical cord. I also had them fix the hand rail in my staircase and hang some curtains for me in my bedroom. This was a great experience, always apprehensive when dealing with people that you are not familiar with but this was not the case. I cannot say enough good about this company. They were on time, called when they said and were quick to respond to me and what I needed. I would recommended to everyone.

Brent was super. He did everything from the tiniest thing that was glued back wallpaper corners to repairing stucco and repainting. He could not had been more professional. He was polite on time. He was about his business and I really appreciated that. He offered to do things that were not on my list. I know now why he has received so many positive reviews.

Finding someone to do this type of work, someone who would even come take a look, was an issue. The one company which did submit an estimate previously was very nice and would have done a good job I'm sure, but estimated cost and time was four time as high-think they gave worst case estimate if the whole chimney had to be replaced. Total Home Repair guys were here the day they said they would be, got the work done in the single day they had estimated at the cost they had quoted, went ahead and painted the whole side of the chimney so the siding would match. Very satisified. Only issue would be that they are scheduled several months out, so possibly might not work for "emergency" repairs.
Description of Work: several pieces of siding near the top of a 2 story chimney had woodpecker holes and other siding near the bottom were becoming rotted, caulking had worn out

Brent was on time and approximately 30 45 minutes we agreed what I needed to be done,which was to install key pad and new remote for my garage door, install a new sensor light at the side of the house and replace back patio light. Timeframe to complete this project was one hour. We agreed that he would purchase the items needed to do the installation. I was very impress with the timeframe in which he completed the job. Excellent! Excellent! service. Brent was extremely proffessional and I will be using hime for other projects.

Mr. McCurdy called the day before and stated he would be here at 11AM...he arrived 10 mins early...a major PLUS in my book! He surveyed the situation and immediately began deductive work as we had previously hired a contractor that did some very unsatisfactory work with these lights which led to improper functionality. Mr. McCurdy asked several questions and kept plugging away. He finally discovered that improper installation and wiring had caused the ceiling fan and light to arc out and that improper wiring of the switches had let to functionality issues with the other light. With minutes, he had the wiring redone and found that the ceiling fan and light had blown out due to an arc. While replacing and resetting the light and fan were not in his scope of work, he was patient enough to work on the other light switch while I ran to the store to purchase a new fan and light. He immediately installed it and VOILA! Everything is now working again! Mr. McCurdy was conversational, yet hard working. He only engaged in social chatter when I engaged him showing me that he was focused, but personal and polite enough to chat with me. His attention to detail and professionalism was well blended with a gentle demeanor. I will use him for ALL of my home repairs in the future. I am very impressed and am completely satisfied!
Description of Work: Electrical work was done on three light switches, two lights, and a ceiling fan was removed and replaced.

We have nothing but great things to say about the service and price.
Description of Work: My husband fell down our basements stairs taking the hand railing with him. Needless to say we really needed someone. I checked Angies List and was please to find Brent. He made time for us and we had it fixed within a week. Brent is honest and very dependable. My stairs were cleaner after he left than when he got here. The railing is stronger than originally installed by the builder. We are having Brent do some more work for us. We want the driveway pressure washed and repair. The deck pressure washed and repaired and sealed. We will have an estimate prepared for the painting of our outside home. I would recommend Brent and his crew at anytime.

The appointment went very well. I showed him the issues I was having on the two units and he provided simple solutions. I was quite pleased that the solutions were easy and completely inexpensive to fix. I will most definitely hire him again on my next handyman project.
Description of Work: Previously, the gas company have written up two warning notices when they turned our gas on and basically told me that I needed to hire someone immediately to address the issues. The exhaust elbow pipe fitting for the water heater and HVAC unit had rusted into two pieces and gas pipe line on the HVAC unit was vibrating against metal when the unit was running. Total Home Repair applied electrical tape to the exhaust pipe to provide a temporary fix until I could install a new elbow pipe fitting. To solve the metal to metal contact problem he suggested wrapping a rubber grommet around the pipe line, which I purchased and installed shortly after the appointment .

Brent arrived on Monday morning and we went over my list of projects. He quickly saw what was involved, set priorities and learned where previous paints and other supplies were stored. He then completed items on the list each day, managing his own time and requiring no supervision. Its took 8 working days to complete all items on the list but they were done in a most efficient manner. Brent is very professional and he treats your house as if it was his own - doing the work correctly as it should be done. We were extremely pleased with the results and would not hesitate to use Brent again or to recommend him highly.
Description of Work: Minor carpentry and sheet rock repairs, interior painting of repaired areas, exterior soffit repairs and painting and various "handyman" projects including securing and leveling dishwasher, adjustment of elevator, addition of water discharge tube for icemaker, repair and addition of screen on attic vents, and replacement of insulation in crawl space.
