drywall, handyman service
  + 0 more
One of our town homes had a water leak. Once the leak was fixed, we then needed the drywall replaced in the ceiling and adjacent walls. Dave, one of their best guys, did the work for us, and he was terrific, opening up the damaged areas, pointing out where the insulation needed to be replaced, tracking the flow of the water (water leaks never seem to just come straight down) and actually finding damp sections we would never have discovered on our own. He was very thorough, explained everything, gave his recommendations, gave us options on how to proceed, and then did exactly what he was chartered with doing, and did an absolutely incredible job -- we have a "floating" ceiling, meaning the drywall is not just nailed or screwed to the studs -- it is floated about a half inch below the studs for additional sound-proofing, minimizing vibration transfer and eliminating unsightly nail pops -- but this is a very difficult type of ceiling to repair -- others have tried and completely botched the job. Dave from S.N. Peck is a true master with drywall, and clever at spotting future, potential problems down the road.
Description of Work: Replaced and repaired drywall that had been water damaged.

One of our wooden decks actually needs to be totally rebuilt from the ground up. However, we did not have the budget to do the entire replacement at the time, so we S.N. Peck "repair" and "resurface" the deck. They were very neat and tidy in tearing out the old splintered wood and showed me the specifics of the structure underneath. They recommended a couple of different recommendations to us, and we ended up replacing a couple of the stringers and generally shored up the entire structure so it will survive a couple of years until we have additional funds to replace it. Excellent Job. Super tidy, super fast, and again, gave us options and explained the time/cost/pros/cons of each option as we went along. Very happy with experience and results.
Description of Work: Replaced worn wooden deck boards as well as some of the underlying support stringers.

Dale was responsive to calls and questions. Dave was nice, timely, and neat. The first two days of demolition revealed problems with 2 walls; other than that, the project was fairly smooth. The new casement windows are airtight and easy to open and clean. The L-shaped bank of 4 windows needed to be built up a few inches from the previous window frame to allow for a counter-height peninsula to be added under the. There were some small variances in the floor, so Dave added a strip of moulding to cover the slight gaps and stained it to match the cabinets. Floors and cabinets were provided by other companies, and Dave was able to work around that scheduling. The project took about 8 weeks.
Description of Work: We remodeled the kitchen. This company removed soffits, installed new windows, added new window framing, and installed new cabinets. Due to problems discover when the soffits were removed on two walls, the walls needed to be removed, which added an unexpected cost. However, it allowed new installation to be added to a north wall.

We hired Harry Hernandez who was half the price, did the job in five hours, and his workmanship was excellent.
Description of Work: I was given a quote over the phone and told that it would take approximately 4 - 6 hours to complete the installation of a front door and a storm door. The workman arrived at 7:30AM - smoking a cigarette - looked at the job and said that there was no way he could complete the job within that time frame (the quote was for an hourly charge) and he was scheduled for another job at noon. I tried to call the fellow who had scheduled the job, but I got an answering machine. After several more calls I gave up and told the workman we did not need his services. The scheduler finally called me at 9:30am with a lot of excuses.

As it's been almost a year since this appointment, I'm not sure what can be done at this point. I'm sorry to hear about the member's experience with one of our handymen. It was unfortunate that she was unable to reach our customer service as the appointment was at 7:30 a.m. - before the office is open. We would love the opportunity to provide her with a better experience.

The project was estimated earlier this year. I waited several months to start the project, and then called back to get it started in June. The work was done in two days, and both days the contractor was at the job on time. The first day the tile was installed, and the second day the grout was applied to the tile. After the grout was applied and the contractor left, I reviewed the work that was done and found several tile joints that either didn't have grout or the grout had holes. I called the contractor back, and he returned to fix the issues. The next day I found more tile joints that had either no grout or holes, so I called him back again. The contractor returned and applied more grout. Again, the next day I discovered more missing grout or holes in the joints. He returned a third time and applied more grout. After returning three times, I still have tile joints that don't have grout. I have some experience with home remodeling, and have done enough work to know when workmanship is lacking. The planning, scheduling, and majority of the work was done very well, but the finish work could have been done a lot better.
Description of Work: Install glass tile backspace in kitchen.

John was very helpful during my initial contact and in scheduling the appointment. I knew just what to expect and he worked to meet my availability. Mike arrived on time and was quick in getting to work. He did a nice job on all scheduled projects and was helpful in understanding how future projects can be addressed. Over all I was very pleased with Case and will hire them for future projects. (As an FYI.... Case is now S.N. Peck.... same people, just name change.)

They helped us find a company to make the door. We had to wait for the door. They did install the door, but it did take a while to get the fan. They kept putting us off until we got fed up and broke the contract. They did refund some of the money. Everyone that I had dealt with at the company during our project ended up quitting. I finally had to deal with the president to some resolution. They were cordial, but they are inflexible and use the contract to their benefit. Now the door frame is cracking.

Response from S N Peck Builder, Inc
WE WERE VERY SURPRISED TO RECEIVE THIS REVIEW NOW AS THIS PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN JANUARY OF 2007 - ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO! WE HAD TO PULL THE FILE IN ORDER FOR MY PROJECT MANAGER AND I TO REVIEW IT AS WE DIDN'T RECALL THE PROJECT AT THIS POINT. FROM REVIEWING THE FILE, IT APPEARS WE INSTALLED AN INTERIOR DOOR WHICH THE CLIENT PROVIDED BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT WE INSTALLED A NEW DOOR FRAME - WE SIMPLY REPLACED AN OLD DOOR WITH A NEW DOOR. AFTER CLOSE TO 2 YEARS, IF THE FRAME IS CRACKING NOW, IT IS UNLIKELY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE INSTALLATION. HOWEVER, WE DO OFFER A 2 YEAR WARRANTY ON OUR WORK AND IF HE WOULD LIKE, I'D BE HAPPY TO SEND MY PROJECT MANAGER TO LOOK AT THE FRAME AND SEE ANYTHING WE DID 2 YEARS AGO WOULD HAVE MADE THE FRAME CRACK. REGARDING THE BATHROOM VENT, WE NEEDED TO CUT A HOLE IN THE ROOF TO VENT IT AND IT WAS FEBRUARY, VERY COLD, AND WE WERE UNWILLING TO CUT A HOLE IN THEIR ROOF DUE TO THE WEATHER. AS WE COULDN'T FINISH THE PROJECT BEFORE SPRING, WE WERE WILLING TO REMOVE THE VENT WORK FROM THE CONTRACT AND REFUND THE MONEY ESTIMATED FOR THAT PART OF THE PROJECT. WE DID FINALLY COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON FINAL PRICING AND MONEY WAS REFUNDED TO THIS MEMBER.

From start to finish, they were very professional and competent. The entire job took about five days to complete and they were able to do the work to my schedule. They even dealt with a last minute change to the original contract without a problem. They may be a bit more expensive, but it was worth not having to deal with rude, incompetent, or unprofessional work.
Description of Work: Hook up sink, faucet, garbage disposal; replace 47 cabinet door pulls, replace gas line to cook-top with code compliant line, fix damaged molding, replace shower head and control valve including making a new access panel, re-finish acrylic tub, replace two vanity faucets, install picture rail in two bedrooms.

The person who came was very professional, and he went about his business very quickly. He even gave me suggestions on how to take care of some matters on my own. In fact, he gave me a small can of varnish and a brush that he had in his vehicle so I could take care of a flaw in the door. His gesture more than paid off for this company, as I've told a lot of my friends and business associates that they should use Case.
Description of Work: I needed some work done around my new condo such as hanging decorative items, rods for my curtains and lights, and I called Case because I saw that they had gotten high marks on Angie's List.

The company was responsive, punctual and practical. They determined that there was no leak (just a window that was left open, but caused a lot of damage), and that we didn't need to replace the duct work and venting. They also did a great job fixing the odd jobs around the house. They were creative in some cases since none of our walls are completely straight.
Description of Work: We had a water leak in to our hot water heater. Case handyman checked it out and determined the cause. Also, since there was a 2 hour minimum, we had them fix a couple of other items around the house, including re-securing towel bars, etc.

I just had other cabinets installed from another company so now have a better sense of judgment on the quality of work from Case. My general assessment is that the install took too long and the work was not that great. There is a spacer that had to be placed and I can see a gap on one side that light shines through. The room is not plumb, but with this other install I just had done in another area of my house by another contractor, I think much more care was taken to ensure the spacers filled the gap exactly. Aside from this, I think it was overpriced for what I got. Also, the under-cabinet lights were installed and not placed where I would have liked. They have a very impressive initial consultation, but also had a issue with a call back on a second job I was getting a quote from them on.

Contract was based on their rep's time estimate, which turned out to be way too high. I should've shopped around but was in a pinch w/ in-laws coming and relied on Angie's List rating. They did fine work on cabinets and one set of lights. Other lights, however, came out of pkg. w/ too-short cord. Rather than tell me, worker hung lights w/ transformer right over where kids' heads would hit in bed. If worker had alerted me to obvious problem, I would've had time to make (multiple) round trip(s) to the home improvement store for replacement and still been well under the unnecessarily high amt of time they budgeted & I paid for job.

They weren't extremely responsive in calling me back, I had to call back myself a couple of times to get it scheduled, but they were very nice and helpful once I got them on the phone. The handyman came right on time and got the mirror off very quickly. Although I had explained to the office as well as the handyman when he arrived that I wanted the wall patch afterward, he would have left after removing the mirror if I wouldn't have stopped him. He was hesitant to patch the wall and I had to push him to do it. There is a 2 hour minimum and it took him less than 20 minutes to get that mirror off. So he finally patch the wall and then he was able to repair the toilet that was running. He was obviously in a hurry to get done and off to his holiday party.
Description of Work: Removed a bathroom mirror that was glued onto the wall and patched the wall. Repaired a toilet that was continuously running.
