Very well. Rannet was timely and worked with us and our work schedules. He was very courteous and tidy as we allowed him to leave supplies in our living room while he worked. And he took criticism well when we requested an additional coat on our kitchen walls where our pumpkin colored paint didn't take well. We also are very pleased working with Faith as she was kind enough to allow us a payment plan.
Description of Work: We hired Handymen and Mrs. Helper to repair drywall over a door in our basement and to paint all the trim in our living/dining room, kitchen, stairwell and hallway. In addition, we had them paint our kitchen, hallway, stairwell and ceiling.

HI FOLKS, THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS AND THE GREAT GRADE! YES, SOME COLORS JUST DON'T TAKE WELL AND NEED ADDITIONAL COATS. WE ALWAYS PLAN ON PRIME AND 2 COATS WHEN WE ARE DEALING WITH A COLOR WHICH NEEDS TO BE DEEP AND RICH. WHEN WE GET A CREW ON A JOB, WE CAN MOVE PRETTY QUICKLY, SO GLAD WE GOT DONE FAST FOR YOU. SOMETIMES WE CAN JUMP ON A JOB RIGHT AWAY AND SOMETIMES NOT. ESPECIALLY WITH SUMMER COMING AND LOTS OF EXTERIOR PAINTING COMING UP. USUALLY WE CAN GET ONE OF THE GUYS TO START QUICKLY. NORMALLY WE ARE A WEEK OUT THOUGH. STARTING THE SAME WEEK CAN SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES NOT. THANKS FOR CONTINUING TO CHOOSE US THOUGH! WE VALUE YOUR BUSINESS! FAITH
In both cases, the work was outstanding and Faith did a wonderful job of providing accurate estimates, and supervising and scheduling the work to fit our needs. The workers did an incredible job of quickly turning our flooded basement into a warm and welcoming living space, and the painting they did upstairs was thorough and done with obvious care. It was no "rush job", but they did it far faster than I ever could have imagined, and the wallpaper which we so dreaded removing is now gone, with no sign that the walls had ever been covered by anything but paint. I recommend them highly!
Description of Work: We contracted with Faith twice, once immediately after our basement flooded in October to replace drywall, paneling, trim and to repaint the entire basement, and again over Christmas to repaint several rooms in our upstairs. The work conducted upstairs included removal of decades old wallpaper, repainting of doors, wall and ceiling surface repair and removal and replacement of draperies and drapery hardware.

Scott was terrific! I basically gave him a list of all the things I needed to get completed and he took over. He worked very hard and the quality of work was excellent. The communication between the office and me was very good as well as the communication with Scott the installer. He explained everything he had to do before he began the work. He obtained the supplies and did a good job of buying high quality materials at a very reasonable price. Scott cleaned up after the projects and made sure I was satisfied with an inspection along with him of the work. He was always on time and called before he arrived.
Description of Work: Install switches in the garage and powder room and installed a baffle over kitchen sink. Install overhead exhaust fan, roof vent and light over shower with new power. Install new combo switch. Install electrical box for ceiling fan in the bedroom.

Very well. The workers completed the work promptly and as planned. The painting and installation of trim, molding, and doors was done together with drywall work done at the same time to repair water damage in the basement and as spot repairs on the walls adjacent to the new entry stairs. $7700 was the cost of the total project.
Description of Work: Painted walls and ceiling in our entry, living room, and upstairs hallway. Installed crown molding and painted it in the living room and entry. Painted the risers and spindles and sideboards on newly installed entry stairs and landing. Replaced and painted baseboards and trim of doors, windows, and closets in two upstairs bedrooms, one bath, the trim of several basement doors, and installed and painted new baseboards throughout the basement.

Very well. The workers completed the work promptly and as planned. They were especially careful in removing wallpaper with the portion of drywall removed in the bedroom, so as to not disturb the paper above it. This drywall work was done at the same time as other door and trim replacement, installation of crown molding, and painting, both upstairs and downstairs. $7700 was the cost of the total project.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced the lower 2 feet of the drywall of one basement bedroom wall that had been damaged by flooding. Repaired numerous holes in the drywall of walls throughout the basement where it had been damaged when our family had pulled the baseboard away after it became wet from flooding.

Spoke with Faith on a Tuesday to set up an appointment for getting the estimate. We agreed upon that Thursday at 5-5:30. While on the phone with me, I heard Faith confirm with her painter 3 times that day & time would work for him and it was confirmed. She asked if the painter, or maybe she was supposed to do it, could send me the estimate vie email, I agreed. The painter showed up at my house the next day, Wednesday, while I was not home. I know I didn't set it up for that time, because I already had prior commitments. I never spoke with Faith or the painter or had a voice message left either at my home or cell requesting a change of appointment time. My husband, who is busy working from home and had no real time to take to do this, did explain to the painter what we wanted done. He was told by the painter that an estimate would be done and emailed to us by the end of the weekend. It is now the next week and I have never received an estimate or a phone call to explain anything. :(
Description of Work: Asked to give estimate for interior work- painting walls of kitchen, dining, & living room that is open and all flow into each other. Also strip wallpaper and paint walls in a hall bath. Second estimate was requested for exterior painting (to be done when warm enough outside) of our 2 story home.

I AM SO SORRY THAT THIS POTENTIAL CUSTOMER WOULD GIVE US AN F FOR SHOWING UP A DAY EARLIER! YES, UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE WRONG IN COMING A DAY EARLY. ONE OF OUR SUB-CONTRACTOR'S FATHER PASSED AWAY THAT WEEK AND WE WERE TRYING TO GET COVERAGE WITH ALL OF OUR WORK AND QUOTES, WHILE HE WAS GONE. YES, OUR PAINTER DID COME EARLY BY MISTAKE. WITH ALL THAT WAS GOING ON, OUR QUOTE CAME BACK TO THIS CUSTOMER ON TUESDAY INSTEAD OF MONDAY. I CALLED HER ON TUESDAY TO GIVE HER THE NUMBERS AND SHE DID NOT RETURN MY CALL, I ALSO CALLED WEDNESDAY MORNING AND FINALLY WED. EVENING SHE CALLED TO TELL ME SHE WOULD NOT BE NEEDING OUR SERVICES AND THAT SHE WROTE HER COMMENTS ON ANGIE'S LIST THE DAY BEFORE,EVEN BEFORE HEARING MY COMMENTS OR MY GIVING HER THE QUOTE. NORMALLY WE TURN QUOTES AROUND VERY QUICKLY. I GUESS I FEEL THAT SHE WAS PRETTY HARD ON US FOR THAT. I TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE HER AN E-MAIL AND APOLOGIZE FOR COMING EARLY AND NOT GETTING THE QUOTE BACK TO HER AS QUICKLY AS SHE WANTED. I ASKED HER TO PLEASE FORGIVE US AND GIVE US A CHANCE TO MAKE IT RIGHT. I THEN FOLLOWED UP AND CALLED HER TO TALK ABOUT IT AND STILL SHE WAS UPSET AND TOLD ME NOT TO WASTE HER TIME. I ASKED HER TO RE-CONSIDER AFTER HEARING OF OUR SITUATION, AND SHE SAID THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER TO HER. OH WELL, SOMETIMES WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BAD THING, CAN ACTUALLY BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

Both tasks were completed to our satisfaction. Replacing the bathroom ventilation fan required a follow-up visit to patch a gap in the drywall and touch-up the surrounding paint. This was due to the replacement unit that I purchased being slightly smaller than the original unit - not a problem with the work that was done. Both the original visit as well as the follow-up visit to fill in the drywall around the replacement fan were on time and completed within the estimated time frame. I appreciated that the handymen who helped us out were very neat and left the bathroom looking clean and tidy.
Description of Work: The bathroom ventilation fan and light fixture in our upstairs bathroom had quit working and needed to be replaced. Additionally, we needed help hanging a wood-slat blind in a window about 18' up on the wall over the front door in the foyer/entryway.

Overall, we were very happy with the results. Faith and Mark gave us an accurate and fair estimate up front and the work was done on time and on budget. Mark did a great job of keeping the areas he was working in clean and tidy. He also very clearly marked the associated room on the leftover paint, which I'm sure will help us if we ever need to do any touch up down the road. My wife and I felt like we got top notch work for a reasonable price. No surprises or worries at all.
Description of Work: Faith connected us with Mark, who did our interior painting work. We had three upstairs bedrooms, one full bath and one half bath painted. Mark also helped us refinish some of our baseboards and other wood trim. All of the rooms were painted unique colors, with the ceilings being painted in lighter shades as well. Mark applied test patches in all the rooms to help us make sure we had the perfect colors picked out before he started on the entire room.

Problem solved. The electrician showed up on time and completed the work in about 3 hours. He gave me a written estimate before starting the work. No more electrical problems and the work was done very efficiently and slightly under the estimated charges.
Description of Work: We had a good previous experience with Handymen & Mrs. Helper for some painting work we had done, so we decided to use them again for some electrical work. My wife and I recently purchased an existing home and we noticed that the circuit breaker would frequently trip when using a hair dryer in the master bathroom. Faith sent out an electrician and he determined that the circuit in our master bathroom was overloaded due to being shared with another upstairs bathroom and other outlets in an upstairs bedroom. He pulled an additional circuit through the walls and split off our master bathroom so that it was on its own dedicated circuit. He also replaced a malfunctioning GFCI outlet.

They did a beautiful job. This was a very quick turn around job due to my time constraints. On Monday, the first day of the job, one painter arrived and I wasn't sure he was going to finish on time, but a second painter came two of the five days and they finished by Friday, which was very important to me because I was starting a new job the following week. This was also a week that dumped about 15-20 inches of snow on us! Each room is gorgeous! They did a great job patching all the holes and repairing the hole in the ceiling. They moved all the heavy furniture and covered everything as they went to avoid any spills. They also did a great job cleaning up each night so it was minimal inconvenience to us. This is a small house and I didn't have a lot of room to store things, so they did an excellent job working around all my stuff! I will definitely use them again. It was a pleasure working with everyone.
Description of Work: Painted the entire interior of 1,500 sq. ft. home excluding two bathrooms. Removed wall paper and chair rail in living room. Repaired hole in ceiling related to water leakage in upstairs bathroom.

Scott was outstanding. He was able to come out the same day that I called. I originally had him out to look at some painting and carpentry, but when he advised against the course of action and provided his rationale, I had him take a look at the gas line. Without skipping a beat, he was willing to take on the job. He was professional and courteous the entire time. His work was extremely clean and very, very well done. He took extra care to make sure that he protected the floors and other parts of our home when he was working. He also provided advice on a few other items at my request at no charge.

To start off they were very responsive. The entire project from start to finish was perfect. During the initial visit Mike understood exactly what needed to be done in all rooms and was very helpful in giving us ideas and options. We were impressed with his knowledge of the type of repairs that needed to be performed in the foyer and powder room. When we went to pick out the tile Mike was able to give us direction in the type, color and style of tile that would best be suited for the area. It was apparent from the beginning the craftsman who work for him were well trained in their profession. We appreciated them explaining what they were doing along the way. Mike managed our expectations from day one! He told us exactly what to expect and how the project would progress. Once started, the project progressed quicker than we expected. It was completed on time, and on budget. I have other projects that I will be calling Mrs. Helper on.
Description of Work: Removed old ceramic tile in foyer and powder room including a coat closet. Fixed subfloor in powder room around toilet. Subfloor was rotted due to toilet leak. Fixed curve crown in foyer floor. Removed laminate tile in mudroom/washer dryer room. Installed new porcelain tile in foyer, powder room, closet and mudroom. Installed new moulding in foyer, powder room and mudroom. Removed carpet in living room and dining room. Removed old hardwood floor in kitchen and parkay floor in family room. Installed hardwood floors in living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. Sanded, stained and sealed hardwood floors. Sanded and re-stained stairway entry to second level.

Faith was great in helping meet our needs on fairly short notice. We were scheduled to move into our new home in less than 2 weeks and had a narrow window of opportunity to get the work done before the furniture and family arrived. The painters arrived on time and completed the work in a timely fashion as well. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations and I must admit having very high standards. I will use this company again.

It went very smoothly. Rein even came on a Saturday morning for two hours to finish it all up. I never thought that the walls could look as good as they do.
Description of Work: This is the second time we have used this company. We are very satisfied with their work, employees and prices. We had a bedroom with badly damaged walls that needed a lot of work. They completed the patching and repair work in about one day so we went ahead and had them paint the room as well. The entire job (3 coats) was professionally finished in a little over a day. Rein does excellent work. I can comfortably recommend them to anyone for drywall work or painting.

Heath, the handyman, managed to do all this by himself and stuck with the job through some surprises (including needing to reframe the attic door) until it was done. Heath did an excellent job and I'd hire both him and the company again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: They replaced a broken attic door for me. They also installed a ladder to that door to give access to the attic. The attic access door is in a bedroom ceiling--the door pulls down from the ceiling and then the ladder is pulled down in segments from the attic door.

When I called to arrange the work, my call was returned quickly. Scott was his usual courteous and helpful self. He began installing the new ceiling fixture, but found that one of the parts was missing. He went to the hardware store to find something else which could work. He tried using a marker to match the fixture, but I decided that I wanted an original part. So he put the fixture aside, ready to go when the new part comes in, to install later. He installed the new towel bar, and, wisely, counseled me to go with some toggle bolts rather than the screws which came with the bar. He patiently waited as I decided which pictures should go where, and he was very careful not to mar the new paint job we just had done. We are very pleased with all the work Scott has done and wouldn't hesitate to have him back in the future. All in all, a great company to work with.
Description of Work: Scott installed a new ceiling fixture, installed a new towel bar and put up about 20 pictures.

Ron came out for an estimate in immediate response to my phone call. He is good fellow with expert experience and insight. He conducts business with professional, straight forward, responsible and helpful manner. The installer Heath is quick and precise. His work shows great quality of fine workmanship and he shows the superb professionalism to take ownership of the work. There were some minor problems associated with the shower set after the work. Heath came out immediately each time there was a small problem to fix it. The attitude of ownership and taking care of customers is the best I have seen.

Primarily, the job involved plumbing, but I needed an electrical box installed for the dishwasher and garbage disposal, the dishwasher set up and secured to the countertop, and holes drilled in the cabinet to run the new bx cable.

Kenneth came and gave the estimate for the work. He came and gave me an estimate right away. On the day he was supposed to come and start the work Kenneth came with another gentlemen and Kenneth left him at my house to complete the job. The gentlemen couldn't speak fluent English and I was trying to tell him that the paint wasn't taking and the job was not being completed correctly. He tried to assure me that the paint will be fine. Kenneth came back and notice the job wasn't done right so he came back the next couple of days to fix and correct the work. They were prompt with the estimate also arrived on time to complete the job.
Description of Work: They painted the ceiling in two rooms.

THIS CUSTOMER WANTED ONLY KEN BECAUSE OF THE FANTASTIC COMMENTS ABOUT HIM. HE QUOTED THE JOB AND WAS OVER SEEING IT, BUT THE ORIGINAL QUOTE DIDN'T INCLUDE SOME WORK THAT SHE WANTED DONE. WHEN SHE TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO KEN'S HELPER, HE HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DO ONLY THE PAINTING, NOT A REPAIR AREA SHE LATER DECIDED SHE WANTED DONE. KEN WENT TO SURVEY THE SITUATION AS TO HER CONCERN WITH ME ON THE PHONE, AND RATHER THAN ARGUE ABOUT WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF THE JOB, HE JUST FIXED IT AND SPENT THE EXTRA TIME AT NO CHARGE. RAUL ALSO SPENT A LOT OF EXTRA TIME THERE TRYING TO COVER THE WALLS AFTER ALREADY DOING A COAT OF PRIME AND 2 COATS OF PAINT, (WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL QUOTE). THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE ON THE WALLS ( A SMOKER LIVED THERE) WE HAD TO ALSO DO ADDITIONAL PAINTING TO COVER IT, AGAIN AT NO COST. WE DID A LOT OF WORK FOR $600, JUST TO TRY AND PLEASE HER. SORRY SHE DIDN'T SEE A LOT OF VALUE IN THAT. MOST COMPANIES WOULD HAVE CHARGED FOR THE ADDITIONAL WORK. BUT ANYWAY, AM SORRY SHE WAS NOT PLEASED AT 100%. FAITH

Overall they did a very good job. They were on-time and courteous. One minor complaint, they did not complete the caulking job in the family room. I think the problem was a language barrier with the worker. He caulked a spot or two, but I requested the entire room be done. Also as an FYI...they do not accept credit cards as payment. Faith was GREAT about waiting for me to mail a check though!
Description of Work: Wallpaper stairwell hallway, repair drywall, caulk quarter-round.
