The ends of the planks on my deck were rotted and Greg was the only person who suggested the window-frame solution. Others suggested splice and replace. Though it cost me a little bit more, the idea is clever and the end result is polished, enjoyable to o view and took care of all the rotted ends. I'm hiring Greg to stain my deck as well. Unlike others, he doesn't pressure wash decks, unless he has to, because pressure washing destroys wood.

He came out and took a look at the work. He said he could do the work and took our email account so he would send us an estimate. Nothing came for a few weeks so we called, he said he was busy and didn't forget about us. Said we would here from him before November ended. Well that was last year and he has still not contacted us.

Response from The Fix-It Man
This was my bad. I never follow up when I send a proposal to a customer and apparently I messed up his email or something and he did not receive my quote. His disappintment in the service he got from me is justified. The best solution would be to follow up with the customer and see if they have a question a couple of days after I send a quote, that is what a good salesman would have done and closed the deal. Handyman is my second act my first act was sales and frankly I do not want to do that anymore. The Hoffmans are nice people, they truly deserved better than they got from me.

He was prompt in providing us a quote and was able to conduct the work within days. He was prompt, courteous, neat and ensured we were satisfied with his work. He was very reasonably priced. I will be keeping him on speed dial for all of my "handyman" repairs. He has already provided me a quote to paint two bedrooms and a bathroom. I will be calling him right after the holidays!! I highly recommend him for any handyman repairs you may have.
Description of Work: He replaced a light fixture in my kitchen area. He also repaired drywall in a bedroom and a bathroom.

He did a very nice job- he came out gave me an estimate and got started a week or so later. He took his time and was very concerned that I was happy with the job. He would recommend repairing something over replacing to help save me money which I appreciated. He was very professional, I would definately use him again.
Description of Work: Greg did a lot of odds and ends that needed done around my house including - installing lights on the outside of my house, fixing my front railing and painting it. He also fixed my backyard fence along with staining the entire fence. He also fixed my garare door opener and fixed my hot tub.

The Fix-It Man did a beautiful job! He researched for the best product, continued to keep me informed on issues that arose, and always kept a smile on his face. I will use him again in the future. The only downfall is that I didn't take a "before" picture to show others of the great job he did for me. The new door looks like it had always been there. Thanks Greg!
Description of Work: The Fix-It Man replaced a side-entry door that was badly damaged and always a cold area o our home.

The results and efforts were Fantastic. The Fix It man showed up to our very first meeting promptly. Even though the weather was still cold out, he took his time to carefully describe to me what he could do to bring my lawn and landscaping to the next level. He was precise in what his goals were. For the lawn treatment, other vendors would come out once a month and put a treatment. If they had to come out more than once, they would most likely charge additional fees. With the Fix it man, that is not the case. He would come out as many times as he needed in a month. That was his commitment to service he was providing. The first day he worked on the patches of my lawn that needed to green up. He utillized the sod that was torn up for the retaining wall. Throughout the process, he continuously kept me updated on the progress and changes. Another example of how commitment he was to the work was after he layed the first couple layers of the retaining wall, he realized it was off by 2 inches. The Fix-it man redid the entire wall to get an exact fit!. Talk about precise and commitment. When measuring the retaining walls for the tree, he was down to the millimeter and was precise on his level. It has been a couple months since the work has been done and I can tell you my yard has never been thicker or greener. Nor have I received as many compliments on the landscaping that has been done. My next project with the Fix-it man is to enlarge my deck. I will turn to him for any thing that is needed to be done around the house. His work and his demeanor is professional and he brings a great attitude to his job. Thank you again Mr. Fix-it man!
Description of Work: The Fix it man put me on a 6 month lawn treatment plan, put up a retaining wall in front of my house, around my two trees, and also put some river rock around the side of my house.. The Fix it man came out and analyzed my yard and gave me his opinions on what he thought it would take to bring my lawn up to speed with the neighborhood. Both in the thickness and color of grass but also with the landscaping.

Greg (The Fixit Man) answered an ad I had on Craig's List. I needed a walk-thru door replaced on my garage and the roll-up garage door scraped and repainted. Greg showed up at the exact time he promised. After looking at the doors he explained how he would do the repairs and gave us different options. Greg returned with the supplies and began working. Because of the age of the house and old repairs done to the door, Greg ran into some problems. It took him a bit longer to finish than he said, but he solved the problems. The finished job is very professional and detailed. I plan on using Greg for other handyman jobs in the very near future.
Description of Work: Greg replaced and painted the walk-thru door & door frame on the garage. He scraped and painted the roll up garage door. He also replaced and painted the siding trim that goes around the two doors. The new door was also fitted with a new dead bolt and door lever.
