I requested a visit to review tile work to be performed. After a number of telephone calls it was agreed that he could perform the job. Yet, I never received the bid after a number of empty promises.

Their price was reasonable. They did a small job and the overall job went on fine. I would rate them high overall. I was satisfied with their price. The wall is not leaking after they repaired the wall and the quality of work was excellent. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Buckelman Builders Inc two years ago for roofing and some handymen services. There was an opening in the awning underneath the roof line. Water was coming in through the hole and ruining our wall inside. They closed the hole in the awning and they also repaired the damaged wall.

snow removal

Left a phone message on 2/3/11 regarding possible availability to do the necessary snow removal. Received a call back early on 2/4/11 which, under the general circumstances, was courteous and reasonable. We had left over a half dozen phone messages during busy and difficult times. We are appreciative of the call back and would certainly have considered giving them the work, except that one other firm responded to our initial call on 2/3/11 and did the job that evening.
Description of Work: Snow removal from residential driveway following a major 20-inch plus snowfall.

They repaired a disconnected gutter/downspout that was flowing directly under the roof for a house we were purchasing. They were kind enough to jump through all the insurance hoops the house seller wanted to complete the job. It was mostly an easy fix, but they did the job well.
Description of Work: repaired a downspout that was causing water damage to the roof

Overall I have been happy with Buckelmann Builders. They are easy and cheap to work with. Jimmy is very nice and shows up on time. Although I have to say the quality is not the best so I wouldn't use them for any type of asthetic indoor projects, but for maintenance and outdoor work I would recommend them.
Description of Work: I have used Jimmy for a couple of different projects in my house over the years. He always shows up on time, works hard and gets the job done quickly. I have had jimmy remove a hot tub from my deck, build a bench and trelless on my deck, fix a leaky sky light and a leak in my basemnt that required dry wall work and masonry work to fix.

He did a great job on all aspects of the job. Until, we tried to start up a gas based wall heater he installed. It would just not light, even though he claimed it had worked when he installed it months earlier. We hired another firm to replace it and it turns out that it was a PROPANE heater that he installed on our gas line (written clearly on the back of the wall heater). He also used the wrong piping for the gas line he added, which had already started to corrode. We called multiple times to ask him to fix this problem, but he refused to engage and we are out around an additional $400 to have this fixed correctly. Based on this, we cannot recommend his work -- until he contacts us on this problem.
Description of Work: Tuckpointing and finishing off our basement laundry room.

They came out right away, gave me a quote on work and started on it next day. I had lots of work for them to do - various things I needed done. They did them all. Took care of the windows first, fixed lock and door as I requested. Had to wait to do the concrete until the rain stopped but all went well. I used them before and I'd use them again.
Description of Work: Broke out old concrete. Poured new slab in back yard. Sealed 6 of our leaky gutters. Fixed lock and re-hung door. Put in glass block windows in basement windows.

We have a brick building and it needed sealing to keep it from getting mold and water damage. We got lots of estimates and a wide range of prices and spoke to lots of companies, but when we talked to Jimmy with Buckelman Builders we picked them. I felt like he really explained everything to me. He gave me a written quote and arrived EXACTLY on time. I think it shows respect for my time. The price was much less than some big companies. It was nice to know that we would have the same people to our home too. They were very professional and cleaned up after each day's work. My neighbor even remarked that they worked fast and quietly. After a few days they finished the entire sealing job.
Description of Work: Brick and block sealing for our building.

The contractor is doing an excellent job. The prices are reasonable. He gives me a good quote and if he undercharges me he will stick to that price.

No big story, just did the job, completed it as contracted for the amount he told me. I paid the down payment and balance at the finish of the job. This is what I wanted. No fuss. Just came in and got it done.
Description of Work: Completed new roof. Nothing fancy, just did what I asked, made great suggestions. His team completed the work quickly and they cleaned up after themselves. Also easy to talk to, with no language barriers. Also, nice guy.
