Sent the provider a message thru Angie's List and did not hear back from him. Followed up with a phone call. Provider said he ONLY ACCEPTS PHONE CALLS -- NO E-MAILS. He also said that he has had brain surgery and does not do any services. Not sure why he is listed here on Angie's.
Description of Work: Please DO NOT e-mail this provider. He says that he has asked not to be e-mailed and does not provide these services any longer. He has had brain surgery and does not do this type of work any longer.

Description of Work: Bid was very low. Did not come out, just asked me size of deck and type of stain currently on it. We intended to cull the high and low price bids anyway, but not even looking at the deck made us nervous about estimate.

Eric, who works with Kevin, arrived promptly on a very hot day and took down an old basketball hoop, jackhammered out the old cement, dug a deeper post hole required for a new hoop, and installed the new hoop anchor and poured cement. It seems like a simple job, but he and his helper were working for five or six hours straight and it was hard work. The anchor was perfectly even, resulting in a straight pole and hoop when the company came to install the new hoop on the anchor. One Call does it right.
Description of Work: Removed existing basketball hoop and hauled away, jackhammered out old cement base, dug a deeper anchor hole, installed new anchor for new Goalsetter hoop.

He does a great job. His prices are fair. He returns calls or texts. He is nice to my kids and my dog. He is reliable. If you are someone who must have a set bid that will not change at all before proceeding with a project, he may not be the handyman for you, but I have never been shocked by his bills at the end of a project.
Description of Work: We have hired Kevin to do several projects in our home, the May 2014 was just the most recent. In May he built 3 raised planter boxes, fitted two of them with a wire fence to keep out the deer, removed a stump, and moved landscape rock around. He also repaired two lamp switches. Over the winter we also had him do two major projects including adding another closet in a bedroom and dry-walling in a open space in the basement where the prior owner had an older rear projection TV sitting, and installing our flat screen on the new wall. He has also done many smaller "honey-do" projects such as hanging shelves, hanging pictures, and fixing dripping faucets. He is puncutal, returns calls, and his prices are fair. I would hire him again and will.

I misread this contractor's ad and missed that I should contact them by phone and NOT email. I feel horrible about this so I would like to retract my previous review. Because of MY mistake, I didn't get an email back. Totally MY fault. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Response from One Call Home Repair
[Member name removed], I now have my own laptop instead of going to the library for computer use. I have seen your review of my company and I am concerned. On my profile it clearly states no emails as the process delays good service and is disruptive to be called by a third party to tell me I have an email which after a hard day of work I need to long on, read and respond to an email. Before you’ll call me and we actually talk about the job. I still believe the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. My phone number is provided to call me directly (I rarely don’t answer) as this is your best way to communicate your needs. My service to my customers is very important to me! As to large or small jobs it doesn’t matter to me – if you need me and I can help you I will be there. I have done some jobs for nothing and even lowered prices for jobs that needed to be done but weren’t “budgeted”. You stated in your review of my company that you “contacted me”. Let’s be clear about this I have never heard of you or received any phone calls from you. I found out that you sent 2 email messages to an email box on Angie’s List, when on my profile it says no emails. Then when you got no response, instead of just calling me you made inaccurate and derogatory remarks about my company. I by no means meant to ignore your request for an estimate. The best way to contact me is by phone at 319 361 9567. I would have been happy to give you an estimate. Best Regards, Kevin Grommon, owner One Call Home Repair. P.S. New to computers maybe emails next year!

We had a large crack in the ceiling. Had to go into the attic and put a support board in to bring the crack up in the bathroom so he could put mud on it evenly. Kevin gave me a max estimate in time and then what he thought it would actually take. He was right on and he did a nice job. His pricing was right on as well. I would use him again in the future if needed.

Kevin does a very nice job. He comes when he says he will, cleans up, and the work is good quality. He is not very good about giving a hard bid, but prices are still reasonable.

Kevin is prompt, knowledgeable, and takes pride in his work. He did a nice job with everything we asked him to do, while keeping the cost reasonable. He was also very accommodating and worked with us to find the best time/date for our schedule. And he figured out what was wrong with our shower...we are thrilled to finally be able to take a hot shower without having to pre-heat it 20 minutes in advance by running the water! We appreciate his work ethic and expertise, and would be happy to have him do more work for us.
Description of Work: Replaced bathroom faucet with new faucet we provided, replaced caulk between bathtub and shower surround, and fixed water temperature for shower.

Kevin came out to look at the projects to give me an estimate the same day I called him. The start date had to be delayed but Kevin was very good about communicating any changes. Both projects wound up being bigger than expected once the work was started Kevin was very good about communicating changes that needed to be made and why. The bathroom remodel was done on the only bathroom in the house Kevin made sure we had a functioning toilet and shower to use everyday. Both rooms look great after the work was completed. I am very pleased with the jobs Kevin did and would highly recommend his services to anyone needing any work done on their house. Wanted to update this review since sometime has passed we have had several areas in the bathroom that the drywall keeps cracking. Kevin has come back and fixed them but they reappear in a short time. I will have to have someone else come out and fix the problem.
Description of Work: Repaired water damage in master bedroom. This included removing drywall and stripping floor to bare concrete, sealing floor and walls replacing 2 windows and new carpet. Complete bathroom remodel.

One Call Home Repair is fantastic. Bids were timely and reasonable, the work was quality and One Call Home Repair was helpful in making suggestions. One Call Home Repair goes above and beyond, treating each project as if he were working on his own home. One Call Home Repair made every effort to meet the unreasonable deadlines I had given him. I have used several contractors in a professional capacity. He is the only contractor I have considered using in my personal home. His work and ethics impressed me, but more importantly it impressed my husband when he saw the finished results.
Description of Work: As a Realtor I have used One Call Home Repair to complete a wide variety of services on a couple of homes. In the last two months he has gutted a basement, refinished wood floors, painted, repaired drywall, removed discolored drywall, replaced doors, installed vinyl flooring, removed bushes, repaired concrete walls and numerous small items.

One Call Home Repair replied promptly when I called them for an estimate, and asnwered all of my questions thoroughly. They explained the options I had in the work I wanted done and even provided clever solutions that I hadn't even thought of. They did high quality work and were very professional and courteous when at my house performing the work. They did everything we agreed upon in the timeframe they committed to, and when they were done, all of the old materials were completely cleaned up. I am planning on using them for another project this Spring.
Description of Work: One Call Home Repair replaced an exterior door and installed new vinyl in my kitchen/entryway. They removed all old materials and installed new.

We called for an estimate and it was scheduled right away. Work started the next day and was finished in a very timely manner. We have a very old house that was flipped by someone who took many cheap corners. Our main floor bathroom had leaked into the subfloor and ruined the wood down to the rafters. Kevin tore it all out, replaced it, put in new flooring including our new floating floor. It looks great! We also had a leak in our kitchen piping for which we've already had 3 different plumbers "fix" in the past 8 years. Kevin realized they had never fixed the actual problem and for the first time since we've lived here, our pipe from the Kitchen to the basement isn't leaking. He also fixed the caulking job that another handyman had messed up in our second floor bath. Our kids really liked him and our dog loved him which is important to us because he was in our house alone with them at times. We will definitely be calling him again as we have many issues that need his skill and TLC in our old house. Our project took longer than he had estimated but he charged us for what he had estimated. Price was right. Skill was definitely there. Good guy!
Description of Work: Very pleased!

I got them from Angie's List. His name is Kevin Gromman. I love him, he's great. He typically charges $35 an hour plus expenses and then depending on what we need to do and how long it needs to be done. We have just developed a really good relationship in terms of how we are doing it. It's really very nice. He is very meticulous and a perfectionist. He likes to get it just right. If he spends some extra time, he will come in and say that he spent some extra time, because he wanted to learn more and that this was what he was going to us for and not the time he spent. I think his price is fair and reasonable. It's not the cheapest, but it's certainly not the most expensive. If he wasn’t as good, maybe I would have a different feeling. But he always is really good.
Description of Work: I use One Call Home Repair for handyman services. He has done multiple projects for me. He has replaced some windows and completely replaced some doors. He has done some new lighting fixtures. He has also worked on my dryer vent.
