They never got back to us, which was very unprofessional. He was about 15 minutes to show up to give us the estimate.
Description of Work: They came out and were supposed to give us an estimate for stripping wallpaper glue, patching up drywall, and painting. The father took a bunch of pictures of the job, but they never got back to us. We never heard from them.

have used this company for job estimates in the past. They tend to be priced more in the middle to high range but they did not instill a sense of confidence in me. I thought they lacked professionalism compared to other contractors who priced out the same job. Seemed like nice people though.
Description of Work: did not use this contractor

Excellent work, reasonably priced. Very nice individual.
Description of Work: Ron fixed a pair of shed doors that wouldn't hang right for me.
I had every ceiling in my house replastered, because I had many cracks. Many cracks iin the walls, also so they took care of those, also. Ron had his son paint the ceilings after they were sanded, and they were great! I needed a few days to decide on the color of paint for the walls and he was understanding. Very timely. Also helped when I needed a tile man for the backsplash for the kitchen. My kitchen looks brand new for a fraction of the price. They were very clean, on time, and very reasonable. I can't say enough good things about my experience.
Description of Work: 5 plaster ceilings repaired. 6-7 plaster walls repaired. 5 plaster ceinings painted. kitchen and dining room wall paper removed and then living room and dining room painted (2 colors). Kitchen painted 2 colors (I hated the 1st color I picked) and Ron found me an excellent tile man for the backsplash. Ron also fixed my tiolet which leaked
I contacted Ron Sr. and he came out to look at our mess. He offered many different techniques that could be used on the walls instead of wall papering. He quoted us a price of $1000.00 to repair the walls and paint them, also to lay vinyl tile, caulk, and paint the baseboards. He said they would be here between 9:00-9:30 am on 2/3/10. They arrived on time and went right to work. They only stopped for a quick lunch break. They worked until late afternoon. They returned on 2/4 & completed the job on 2/5/10. It was a different room to lay flooring because it is not squared and the floor is not level. Ron & Eric laid the floor as if it was a level squared room, it looks great! Ron is very informative on the why's and why not of the different materials. I found this quite helpful in making the decisions of color and to compliment the gray fixtures. If I hadn't talked it over with Ron, I would have picked out the incorrect tile for the floor. We are VERY Happy with results.
Description of Work: Our bathroom was a disaster, flooring needed to be changed, and the walls needed a lot of repair/paint.

He is very helpful. He is very reasonable and very skillful in performing the tasks that you need to have done. He will find a way to fix whatever needs to be fixed. He is just very knowledgeable and resourceful.
Description of Work: Ron has done a lot of things for me. The last time, he helped me remove an old refrigerator and fix the floor so I could fit in a new refrigerator. He also helped me find an electrician to change the wiring.

This was a great experience from start to finish. Ron was prompt in answering my call for an estimate of the work I needed done. He was helpful and informative during this process. A couple days later he called and gave me the estimate and I gave him the go ahead. A couple days later he came over with the contract and they started work that day. Ron and his crew completed all the work over four days. They were prompt, reliable, and did a great job. I can't say enough about the quality of their work. I didn't even recognize my own porch after they had worked their magic!
Description of Work: Powerwashed, repaired, re-screened and stained porch. Put new doors on garage and porch. Also hung window boxes and address plaque.

Eric and Collin did a remarkable job from start to finish ! The first day after moving the furniture, one began painting the ceiling trim in the kitchen and then the ceiling. While that was in action, the other was working on the living room. In no time they had the first coat done in both rooms! They took a 20 minute lunch break and then started on the second coat. The next day Collin arrived at 10:00 and began working as soon as he removed his coat. He completed the bedroom by the time Eric arrived. The whole job was completed by 3pm and it looked GREAT! Eric and Collin both kept walking around examining the walls and celing to see if they had missed any spots. Both of these men respected my home and cleaned up after themselves. If they saw some thing they did not like (ie an area by the ceiling trim that needed to be caulked, they took care of it.) I would highly recommend this company as I have hired them before for different jobs in my home. I don't have to worry about the quality of their work, or if they are dependable, their work is always well above my expectations.
Description of Work: I hired Ron's Handyman Services to paint the interior of my 2 duplex. My home hadn't been painted in 4 years, so it really needed it. Ron sent his crew of 2 men Eric and Collin, to be at my house at 10:00am. they arrived on time both days and did an awesome job! They painted 2 coats in every room including the ceilings which I wanted to be painted white. They were very polite and moved all my furniture for me. They covered everything (though they didn't need to because they didn't spill at all!) They didn't stop and you can tell they really enjoyed their work!
He is very prompt. His painting is excellent. His crew is great and really listens to his directions. He does great work, stays until the job is done, his price is very reasonable and he is very reliable. There is nothing I would not trust him with. If he cannot do something he will have someone he can refer to you for the work. He also has very good suggestions to improve the work that you are anticipating to do, him improves your expectations.
Description of Work: I had him remove an old built-in refrigerator, fix the floor, fix the walls around the fridge. He has fixed a ceiling, replaced boards on my porch, installed shelving in my garage and basement, and he has done a lot of painting.

Ron and his crew have completed work before for us, so I know what to expect, promptness, efficiency, and always a good price. Ron and his crew arrived on time, Ron checked out the attic and gave me a quote. I agreed and then his crew left to purchase the insulation. When they returned they went to work and did not stop. Job was completed and my home was cleaned up (they even vacuumed the closet! The attic looks well insulated and we felt the difference in our den that faces north. Ron's crew through out all the garbage and even what garbage was left in the attic from prior owners.
Description of Work: I needed our attic re-insulated, not an easy job because the entries are small. Ron and his crew arrived on time and after surveying the attic got to work. The whole job took 3 hours and his crew cleaned up the area and threw all the garbage out.

Ron came to give me the estimate at the time he said he would come. He asked questions about what I wanted and gave me the option of buying the materials myself, or he would buy them for me. Since I have a minivan and wanted to select the paneling myself I decided to get the materials. Ron gave me a list of what to buy. Ron called the night before he was scheduled to come to be sure I had the materials and was ready for him. He told me what time he would come and he came at that time. Ron and his son worked together on the first day and his son completed the job on the second day. Ron checked on the progress of the work in the middle of the 2nd day. Ron's son had to go to a home improvement store for another piece of trim on the 2nd day. He volunteered to return some unused material and was able to get the returns credited to my credit card. He cleaned up completely before leaving.
Description of Work: Ron installed paneling on 2 walls in a basement bedroom over the old paneling. He also boxed in 3 windows in the room and a 4th window in another room. He caulked the seams where the windows meet the paneling and installed trim around the windows. He installed baseboard and ceiling trim. Ron made a couple of suggestions regarding the finishing of the windows and the trim around the windows. I took his advice and I'm happy with the results.

I contacted Ron back in April about having my deck and front rails power-washed and then stained, also need large overgrown bushes removed from the front of the house. Ron quoted me the price of $400.00 for the complete job, we set the date but I had a family death and had to reschedule. Ron was VERY understanding and told me to call when all settled down. I called him back and work was scheduled for May 2, 2007 at 9 a.m. His crew arrived on time, went right to work until it was finished. I never asked for the bushes to be hauled away, I figured that was my responsibility. I sure was shocked when I went outside and they were gone, the area swept clean! The deck and railing looked great! No stain spills and area was left clean. Ron's crew works like himself, efficiently, professionally, and always on time. They take pride in their work and it sure shows! Thanks Ron!
Description of Work: 10 x 12 deck power-washed and front porch railings also, both were stained, 2 very large bushes were removed and hauled away.

The other things that I wanted done, he said he would have other contractors call me, but no one ever did! Also, he said he would get back to me to fix my cabinet drawer when he thought of a solution, but I never heard back, either way! Also, never did get a certificate of insurance. Said he has it, but I doubt if he had workman's comp. And he did mention that he had helpers at times. So, buyers beware!
Description of Work: Minor household jobs - reinstalling light fixture, installing dead bolt, stapleing cabinet drawer, tightening window hardware - this took 6 hours and cost over $250.00!

Response from RON'S HANDYMAN SERVICE
I REALIZE THAT WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE I SERVICE, I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE EACH AND EVERY CUSTOMER HAPPY, ALTHOUGH I CERTAINLY TRY. I HAVE BUILT MY 17 YEAR REPUTATION ON PROFESSIONALISM, PROMPTNESS AND FAIR PRICES. FROM THIS EXPERIENCE, I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT I DO NOT NEED TO LEAVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD TO MAKE A LIVING. I STRETCHED MY LIMITS TRAVELING TO SERVICE THIS CUSTOMER, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PRICE OF GAS. I GAVE HER THE SAME PERSONAL ATTENTION THAT I GIVE MY REGULAR NEIGHBORHOOD CUSTOMERS. WE THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED WHAT PROJECTS SHE WANTED TO TAKE CARE OF AND THE EXACT PRICE (PLUS THE COST OF MATERIALS), WHICH SHE AGREED TO, BEFORE I BEGAN THE WORK. I COMPLETED THE WORK IN A TIMELY FASHION, IT WAS A QUOTED JOB, NOT TIME AND MATERIAL. I AM SURPRISED AT THIS COMPLAINT, BECAUSE I FEEL I WAS FAIR IN PRICE AND COMPLETED THE WORK, AS I ALWAYS DO, WITH PRIDE. AGAIN, I FEEL IN THE FUTURE I WILL HAVE TO BE MORE CAREFUL WHOM I WORK FOR OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT A REFERRAL. THE FOLLOWING IS AN ACTUAL BILL: REMOVE, REWIRE, REHANG OUTSIDE LIGHT FIXTURE, RESET ALL LOCKS ON WINDOWS, CUT HOLES IN DOOR, INSTALL DEADBOLT LOCK, INSTALL FREEZER LIGHT/LOWER FREEZER, TACK WEATHERSTRIPPING ON WINDOW FRAME, AND GO TO LOCAL STORE FOR MATERIAL NEEDED ON JOB. TOTAL COST:$225.00/MATERIAL- 1 DEADBOLT LOCK $28.00 1 FREEZER LIGHT BULB $4.00 GRAND TOTAL $257.00. THE MEMBER PAID ME $260.00 AND THANKED ME. SO, CONTRACTORS BEWARE!

I left a message with Ron Sr. and he returned my call in a timely fashion. We talked and he told me of his experience which made me feel comfortable. He was very courteous and professional. I explained what I would like done, and he gave me a rough estimate over the phone. We set a date and time which he arrived on time! He went right to work with his son helping. Jobs were performed beautifully! I couldn't have been happier! The room was cleaned up, carpet was vacuumed and I was asked of where I would like the garbage and old door to be placed. I plan on having Ron out for more projects in my home. This is the type of company I was searching for!
Description of Work: I had a ceiling fan installed and a closet door cut and installed.

Called and spoke with Amy to confirm whether this type of work could be done. She was very pleasant, polite and knowledgeable. Ron returned my call and answered all of my questions and gave me a quote over the phone. He confirmed the date and arrived on time and ready to work. He completed the job that day and restored everything, leaving no mess or trace of anything out of place. Ron is definitely a people person, answered all my questions and I will definitely call him for additional work that needs to be done without hesitation.

RON IS VERY RESPONSIVE, FRIENDLY AND HARD-WORKING. HE SPECIALIZES IN GETTING HOMES READY FOR SALE AND SO HE RETURNED EVERY PHONE CALL QUICKLY, HE PERFORMED GOOD QUALITY WORK QUICKLY, CLEANED UP AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE AND HIS PRICES WERE COMPETITIVE. HE RECOMMENDED REPLACING OUR DOORBELL AS OPPOSED TO REPAIRING THE DOORBELL BECAUSE IT WOULD BE MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE, SO HE IS ALSO HONEST. RON IS ONE OF THE MOST PROFESSIONAL TRADESMEN I HAVE DEALT WITH AND I WOULD USE HIM AGAIN WITHOUT HESITATION.
Description of Work: WE HAD OUR FRONT WINDOWS, FRONT DOOR CAULKED AND PAINTED, AN INTERNAL DOOR REPLACED, AND A DOORBELL REPLACED.
