Response from Lil' Brother Construction
[Member Name Removed], I am sorry you felt our estimate took so [Member Name Removed]. We were at your house for the estimate on December 7th and we sent you the estimate on December 14th. We try to have our estimates out within two weeks normally. Since the guys are working during the day and do the estimates in the evenings. We give you a guaranteed budget estimate. This means we guarantee that we will not go over our estimate unless the scope of the job changes. We also will only bill you for the actual time on the job so if it takes less time than what you were estimated you will only get invoiced for the actual time. This is a different philosophy than other companies in our field. We also don't ask for any money down to start your project unless it is for a large amount of materials. Please call me personally if you have any questions. I would be happy to make it worth your time to give us another opportunity to earn your business. Sincerely, Jean M Jones, President, Lil Brother Construction.

The worker arranged with my wife to come at a time during the workday. He was on time and it lasted about as long as he anticipated (hour and a half). Both toilets were fixed properly. Prices were as estimated and would definitely call on them again for handyman needs.

The weather caused a delay from the original date. The two fellas coordinated the work. One washed the deck and a couple of days later the paint was applied. The final cost was under the estimate.

Very pleased from start to finish. Cost was higher than originally indicated, but this was due to the unforeseen need to build a base.

[Member Name Removed], I am not sure why the bad review. You never said anything to us about any issues and in your comments you stated that you would hire us again. Was this a billing issue? Thank you, Jean M Jones President

Description of Work: He fixed my old oak front door so that it closes better than it has since we've owned the house! He also built me a shelf for a coat closet. The shelf was a little rough but a couple coats of paint fixed that.

They did a great job. This was in a toilet closet so there wasn't much room to work. The water leak was on our ceiling on an inside wall. They traced it to our washer. They sprayed the ceiling so you can't see the mark.

We had a last-minute rush job that needed to be done in order to close on the sale of our home & Lil' Brother Construction came through for us! They got us on their schedule within 2 business days. Their communication was fast & thorough which is greatly appreciated when on a deadline. John was right on time for the appointment & was very fast, friendly, professional & courteous. He really knew what he was doing & did his best to complete the job quickly, thoroughly & at as little cost to us as possible. We're putting together a "TO DO" list of repairs for our new home & will be sure to call Lil' Brother Construction to help us complete it! Highly recommended!!!!

I received a quote over the phone, based on information I provided. The quote was based on 2 people because it was thought that a ladder would be needed on the stairs. I agreed on the quote and a work date was scheduled. They arrived right on time as promised, decided that they could reach to do the job without a ladder. They completed the work quickly, and did a neat job. They finished quickly and charged less than half of what I expected to pay.
