I received this referral from Angie List and contacted the provider to find out more information about the company. I contacted the provider on July 29, 2020 and begin to question the provider regarding his time in business, how many projects like mine that he has completed and his customer satisfaction rating. The gentleman became upset that I would question him and told me that he did not need my business! I ended the conversation and left it at that and found me another provider.

The work Eric and his crew did was great, we bought a house and the house needed work so it could pass inspection also I wanted some things changed and some things added. They did a wonderful job it has been 4 years now and nothing they did has changed or gone bad. Thank you to Eric and his crew.

The big box stores only cut up to 4x6 pieces of wood. And they don't cut 6x6 pieces at all. Other lumber yards refused to cut my lumber for various reasons including, the wood was not purchased at their store, or the wood was treated, or they did not want to ruin their equipment (they believed there was a possibility that some metal may have been enclosed inside of the lumber that could cause damage). Anyway, Eric made the time for me on a Sunday morning and brought his equipment with him. He did a great job cutting the lumber. I was very satisfied. He was also very professional.
Description of Work: I needed 2 pieces of wood cut. One was a 6x6 and 4 ft. long. And the other piece was a 4x6 that was 3 ft. long. This was needed for a diy project.

I have used their service several times in the past. Most recently they did a lot of small jobs for me to help get my home ready to be sold. It is always fantastic. Eric, the owner, is a true professional.
Description of Work: They installed some new flooring, patched the roof, touched up some paint and other small handyman jobs.

He had a group of guys came over, and did it in a day. He protected my house, because squirrels were going in the roof, and the tenants could here them walking on the roof. Put the sheet metal there, around the soffit area, and the squirrels never got through the roof again. The went around the hole house, so the squirrels couldn't sneak in. Got it done, and saved my tenant.
Description of Work: There was also another big repair that he did, the soffit around the house, had gotten worn out from age, and he got a crew of guys together to put sheet metal around it, to protect the soffit, so squirrels couldn't enter the house, then the soffit had to be replaced on the house.

Very last repair that he did, was he repaired the kitchen sink. Something was wrong with the drain line. Some parts were missing, and he knew what they were, and repaired the kitchen sink. Never will have to be fixed again. I remember him doing some soldering, to stop the water line from leaking. It was part of the heating system. Fixed that.

gutter repair, handyman service
  + 0 more
He is the guy you call up. A couple December's ago, I failed the inspection. The guy failed to read the sheet. They came over and did everything on the sheet for four hundred dollars, and I passed section eight inspection. So, I didn't have to worry about the inspection until next time. If you don't understand it, he understands the lingo. He came on time for what I can remember. He put the gutters up there, the wind was real bad one. I came and he put the gutter back on the house. The downspout was laying on the ground, and he had put it back up. Did it in no time. I was away from the house, when he called me. When I got home, he had the gutter up there, I paid him, and everything was ok.
Description of Work: He fixed the gutters, the drain line on the house, that had blown off, real windy weather. He came in and put in an new gutter line, he fixed it, got it reattached to the house, and fixed it.

The price was pretty good. They were pretty much on time when they came. This time around they weren't as detailed as usual. Usually they are very detailed with the clean out. This time they didn't clean up properly. The cement work didn't last even a year. Last time, it lasted a couple of seasons before crumbling. They left a hole in the wall, and did not tell me when they removed some shower doors. That caused some leakage in the walls. I was so frustrated. They need to follow up. I did call them about something that wasn't done properly. Their response was to give me a credit the next time I used them. To me, they should've just come back to look at it. I did take pictures and sent it to them, but I never heard back from them. I recommended them to my sister and the work was not great. She was a little disappointed as well.
Description of Work: They filled in some gaps in my cement stairs outside. They cleaned and filled the gutters with a sealant. They also did some interior painting. They did some remodeling work in a bathroom.

I noticed a wet spot in the ceiling on my lower level. Mr. Henry removed plaster panel and located source of the leak (toilet in room above). He repaired the toilet, replaced the ceiling and repainted the ceiling. The completed job was perfect! I will definitely use his company if I have any other needs for maintenance and repair of my home.
