The most important question I could ask myself is: Would I hire them again? .....I can say without reservation, yes we would! We first met Ben to discuss refacing our kitchen. This idea was soon replaced by our cabinet manufacuturer who replaced our doors and drawers. Ben and his staff aided us in renewing and updating our 1998 kitchen to a 2012 kitchen. Our project required a great deal of coordination with our cabinet manufacturer who had provided us with replacement doors and drawers on a warranty claim. Ben, stepping into our kitchen issue sort of mid-stream, did a great job working on our behalf with the manufacturer. His designer did a great job finishing the design improvements that had been illustrated by my wife, and the designer worked quickly and efficiently in helping finalize materials for the job.Once the work started, Ben and his team of craftsmen did an outstanding job on all the finish carpentry, tile work, electrical and additional lighting that we chose. Their crew was always on time, courteous, professional and cleaned up after themselves. You could tell that they enjoy their work, their boss and their clients. Linda and I have built 3 houses in our marriage and those are qualities that we always have looked for in contractors and these guys didn't miss a beat. The end result is a kitchen that Linda and I enjoy more and more each day. We are so glad we did this, and so glad we had Ben Trannel and Case Handyman & Remodeling do the work.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen cabinet doors and drawers Replaced existing crown molding with larger, bolder molding and accents Replaced laminate countertops with granite Replaced and added lighting above and under cabinets Replaced island lighting Added dimmers to all kitchen lights Added space and electrical access for beverage fridge Added gas line for new gas stove Added some new cabinetry and counterspace

I did not use them. My experience with them was fine and they did a good job. I cannot say that there was anything that I disliked about them in particular. They were very professional, well dressed and respectful. In the future, I would possibly ask them for a quote but I cannot say that I would use them.
Description of Work: I received a quote from Case Handyman and Remodeling a year ago for some window replacements.

Handyman - Steve Ford - 208-9694 - who responded to my home the next day. He diagnosed the issues that I was having - submitted a plan on how to deal with the issues - and was hired to perform the tasks. He performed the work above and beyond my expectations and was a true credit to his craft and to the term "handyman" in general. I will, and have, recommended, Steve to all of my friend's and contacts who need handyman services and HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM to anyone looking for quality, timely and professional work. Steve has definitely restored my faith in the small business community.
Description of Work: I contacted this company for an estimate of repairs for a plumbing leak at my home. I also had an exterior "spicket" that was in need of repair and was possibly Ieaking into the wall, which caused great consternation that the pipe itself was broken. The plumbing leak upstairs was confined to a pipe just below the sink. I contacted this company and was referred to another Handyman - Steve Ford - 208-9694 - who responded to my home the next day. He diagnosed the issues that I was having - submitted a plan on how to deal with the issues - and was hired to perform the tasks.

Response from Red House Remodeling
Just to clarify, Steve Ford is a licensed plumber and does not perform general handyman tasks. Steve is our plumber of choice for all CASE jobs and we're happy to recommend him to customers for jobs that are plumbing only.
Overall, it went very well as the timing and price estimates were met. It was a 5 week project that involved demolition, clean-up, re-routing of the plumbing and wiring that had been behind the bulkhead, then installation of new materials. They were pretty much on schedule start to finish, kept us apprised of the progress, and were very good on the communication front. The contract was very detailed but even so, there was still a very slight misunderstanding as to what was included (on our part) as options with the cabinets. Even though it was our misunderstanding, Case provided the items at issue as a good faith remedy. The project was at times very dusty and dirty. They took measures to minimize the mess and inconvenience daily. We were without use of our kitchen for most of 5 weeks and they did what they could to make things accessible to us each evening. We were impressed with the way they cleaned up after themselves each day. They used various subcontractors (painting, floor installation, electrical, plumbing) and they were all very professional. We didn't have to worry about who we had working in our home. Case has an employee who specializes in design. She (Emily) was very helpful as there were many questions where we had choices to make and did not know which way to go. Her expertise was very valuable on decisions we made as far as color schemes, floor material (bamboo), countertops (granite), sink, faucet, etc. She also met with us at various supply stores and helped with selections in person on multiple occaisions.. All the Case employees were friendly, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable as to this project. It was clear that they were very experienced and knew what they were doing. Case owner Ben Trannel was involved all along as the project progressed and was very available for any questions that came up. He is also very experienced in this field. We have and will continue to recommend Case to our friends for remodel projects.
Description of Work: We had our kitchen remodeled floor to ceiling. Flooring was also installed in a small bathroom as well as in the dining room and entry way. Walls were done in the kitchen, bath, and dining room. New countertop, new backsplash, new cabinets, old bulkhead removed, new lights installed in the kitchen, and the bathroom pocket door was replaced with a standard door. Behind the kitchen bulkhead, plumbing and wiring had to be moved and re-routed.

We have used Case Handyman service in the past for small repairs inside the house. I called Ben for a quote for replacing 3 large windows. He arrived with a designer to measure. I requested Pella windows. Within a week he had a quote for a good price. He then returned for followup measurements. The first estimate of delivery was Sept. 1st, however, that was changed to Sept. 22nd. Pella Windows delivered the windows to my home on the 21st and the installers arrived at 8:15 to start work. They finished at 4:30 after a beautiful job of installation.
Description of Work: Ben at Case provided wonderful service for the replacement of old windows with new Pella casement windows. Very professional installers.

So far it has been great. The owner Ben has been really good with scheduling and with managing the whole project amongst the different people. They are framing out the basement wall also. Price wise they have been a little bit more expensive. As for responsiveness the owner has been very good at co-ordinating everything for us especially with me and with the subcontractors who are coming in to do the work. They are very good at showing up on time and letting me know what their plans are so that I can plan around that as well. All of them who have come in really answers your questions and do a really good job. I will use them in the future.

Work began with a talented home designer helping to guide us and the keepiing within budget. Once work was started it became evident that the cabinets were more of a problem that first anticipated. Case took the time and effort to do it right.
Description of Work: We had the kitchen cabinets repainted. Problems developed with the original finish and Case stayed on the project until the cabinets were finished. Their interest in customer satifaction and an excellent final product was evident throughout the project. A great experience and would look forward to working with them on future projects.

Ben gave me a schedule of what would happen each day, this was great so I could plan my day accordingly. The project was even completed a couple days ahead of schedule. I appreciated throughout the process how everyone cleaned up after themselves. Ben and his team were able to take my vision and make it even better. I would definitely use them again for any future work that I want to have done. Everyone was prompt, prefessional, and courteous. Throughout the process if I had any questions Ben or his team were quick to respond. They are very customer focused. You couldn't ask for a better team.
Description of Work: I had a total kitchen remodel done, from new flooring to new lighting and everything in between. My condo was starting to show its age and needed a major facelift. My condo sits on a cement slab, in the kitchen there was a substantial crack in the floor that was visible with the current vinyl floor that I had. The flooring people that Ben brought in were able to put a compound down that leveled the floor and makes the new vinyl look amazing. I had flourescent lighting in the ceiling that was just plain ugly. The electrician put in canned lighting that is so much better, as well as adding lighting under the top cabinets. John patched the hole in the ceiling where the old lighting had been and textured it so that you can't even tell where the hole was. The new cabinets are beautiful and I have had so many compliments on them as well as the new counter top and backsplash. I appreciated everyone's attention to detail. I had attempted on my own to remove the old wallpaper, unfortunately that did not go well. Ben brought in a great painter who repaired what I had done and painted not only the kitchen but the livingroom. He even vacuumed for me when he had the furniture pulled out away from the walls.
His name was Ben. He charges $85 per hour. It went fine but the hourly rate is too high for me to use as a rule. I would use him again if I could afford it.

The project began within a short time frame from the decision as per my wish. The schedule was established carefully to maximize the least disruption and "down time" to the kitchen (which I appreciated and hadn't thought that much about). There were only a few delays due to unforeseen hurdles, but otherwise they were on task. I was well informed about what to expect, given a project timeline, and Ben contacted me when there were issues or hurdles to overcome. There were a few days delay, but nothing that was totally unexpected. I even added a few items and changed a few items along the way (which they assured me was common), but they patiently worked through all oft he changes and updated estimates. I'm a perfectionist - they were too when it came to matching crown molding with a custom molding they had made to match. I did have to have the cabinets re-painted as the first painting had a "chemical peel" type reaction that was corrected on the re-paint. They have a designer available to help make selections, but I like to choose my own, and was assisted as needed by their suppliers. It didn't always go perfectly... but the difference is that they listened to my concerns and immediately addressed any issues or questions I had, so there was really no room for any dis-satisfaction. They were responsive, and responded to after hour e-mails or calls so that I was in touch with their operations. The finished projects are a gorgeous kitchen and powder room that added immediate updating value to my home without a complete overhaul. They are a solid and trustworthy group. They really went above and beyond to make sure that it was all taken care of, so of course the next time I need to remodel or have a handyman come over for a few of those items, I know who to call!
Description of Work: They completed various handyman tasks including changing light fixture in all bathrooms and hallway, replacing a ceiling fan, changing out the towel racks in all bathrooms, installing a frame around a bathroom mirror for a "hung mirror look", and remodeling the kitchen and powder room with new countertops, re-painting the white cabinets, new sinks and fixtures, and installing a new toilet and kitchen appliances. Also painted the kitchen and family room. Installed crown molding around the kitchen doorway, and elevated some of the kitchen cabinets.

Excellent. I'll be attending a Case remodeling "seminar" for future projects in either my current townhome or future residence.
Description of Work: Case introduced me to their flooring supplier and suggested I work direcly with that firm, which saved a great deal of money (basically half what other bids had been). The job was to replace old bathroom flooring and check condition of flooring leading into bedroom, which involved lifting carper and moving furniture. Removal of old tiles and subflooring, removal of all waste, moving and resetting toilet. Plumbing leak immediately repaired. Prolite and competent crew. Excellent guarantee, in writing.

My overall experience was very positive . . . worth a phone call.
Description of Work: Ben returned my call the day I left the message, came out two days later, and was transparent regarding solving our porch problem. He recommended another person to do work his team couldn't and was up-front about pricing on things his team could take care of for us. He offered advice on talking with other professionals in the field and even an approach for moving forward with our project. I would certainly call again. **we did end up hiring CASE to sister a joist and install lighting. The guys were very professional and friendly! Ben was there when the guys showed up and then came back to inspect. I'm very please with the work that was done. And as far as price, you get what you pay for. We probably could have found someone who would do the job for less but CASE provided a lot of peace of mind both as a stable company and one that hires professionals in the field. I would certainly call again.

The project went very smoothly. Jeremy and Ben had purchased all supplies in advance. Jeremy got to work and finished the project on time and budget. Case provided us outstanding customer service. Jeremy is a great craftsman and takes great pride in his work. I would highly recommend Case for any project big or small. I have a growing list of things we will need done this fall. I look forward to working with them again.
Description of Work: We had Case repair our weather worn deck. Ben, owner of Case, came to our house to assess the damage. He offered several options for the repair work based on budget and need. We decided that certain boards would be replaced with new wood and other boards would be recycled from an exsiting bench that we were removing. We were put on the schedule. Jeremy, the craftsman doing the work on our project, and Ben were at my house on the day we were scheduled, on time and ready to go!
From the start the owner, Ben, was very informative and professional. He explained the different options for windows and really helped with our decision for placement. The window was ordered and the work was completed within a few weeks. The project took less than two days. We were amazed! The window looks like it has always been a part of the room. We couldn't be happier and we're looking forward to hiring Case for more remodeling projects.
Description of Work: We added a window to our family room. Woodwork around the window was completed on the inside, along with detail work on the outside including blending with siding.

The company's owner discussed the plan in detail with us prior to starting the project. He listed closely to our ideas and made a careful plan for completion of the two projects. He explained our options clearly and listened to our opinions. His workmen were punctual and very professional. Their skills and the quality of their work were outstanding. Despite installing drywall in our attic, they left each day with hardly a trace and completed the job exactly on time. We could not have asked for better service. We plan to use them again for future projects.

We designed it and built it inside of two weeks. The actual construction project took 2 days. I love the fact that the crew showed up with all the materials and worked until it was completed. No goofing off, no running for stuff they forgot, etc. They seemed very organized and were very businesslike.
Description of Work: Case designed and built a treehouse for our granddaughters. They took extra precaution to be certain the structure was sturdy and safe. This was a design/build project, so they sketched the design, and incorporated all the things I wanted in the treehouse - AND a few more! The treehouse encompasses 3 trees, has a built in ladder, trap door and even a bucket on a pulley so the girls can haul their "stuff" up and down. I think it will provide many memories and years of fun! I think the Case crew had as much fun as our granddaughters!
