He was terrific. I had a rental house that needed multiple things to be done. He ripped off some carpeting and he plugged some holes in the attic which had some birds. There was also a leaky faucet in the kitchen which he fixed. He was very quick and responsive. He was very friendly and just what you expect when you ask somebody to do something. I don't know the market price and it was what I had expected.
Description of Work: I used the service of Sam I am Inc for handymen service about two months ago.

Contacted Sam for estimate. Promptly returned my call. Set up time for meeting. Showed up at agreed time. Gave estimate. Agreed on price. Work started 2 days later. This man is a gentleman, very professional. His work is excellent. He cleaned up everything. We didn't have to do anything! He is worth every penny and we wouldn't hesitate to have him return. This job took 2 full days. He definitely worked those 2 full days and didn't take a break. Had to force a Pepsi on him. Thank you Sam for a beautiful job.
Description of Work: Sam provided interior painting 2 bdrms and 1 bath. Moved all furniture and returned it to original position. Everything covered and protected. Painted ceilings first, then walls. Worked 2 full days.

Sam came and looked at the paint job along with some tile work in our kitchen on 2/17. By 2/19, he delivered a written proposal. I called and asked him to start the painting and he started the paint job on 2/22, finishing up on 2/23. I can't say enough about his work - it's close to perfect. He was on time as well and cleaned everything up. I'm going to use him for the tile very soon.
Description of Work: Sam prepped and painted a bedroom. He also replaced all switches and wall plates. price includes materials.
I just moved to Schaumburg and had several things our 50 year old house needed. I found Sam I Am on Angie's list. This guy is unbelievable. I don't think there is much he can't do. I've recommended him to several of my friends. He is prompt in returning calls and shows up on time, all the time. His pricing is very fair. I didn't do all this work at once. It was done over several months. When he arrives he gets right to work. He's very fast and cleans up after doing every job. Everything I've had done works properly. You really can't go wrong with Sam.
Description of Work: Sam replaced 2 toilets, 1 bathroom sink and our front storm door. He installed a new security light, garbage disposal and 3 electrical switches. He secured counter tops and window sill. He removed our old T.V. antenna and a huge work bench in our garage.

Our daughter inadvertently broke the temperature control on the shower faucet. Tried to fix it but was too complicated. First went to parts replacement store. Was told to contact Grohe to see if part was still under warranty as it would be expensive. Grohe said we would need receipt. We could not locate it. Grohe sent instructions on how to dismantle and replace part via email. They were seven pages long. Ordered part which took several days to come in. Tried to dismantle according to instructions. However, a special tool was needed to do the job. That was the last straw. Called Sam I Am. He did not return our call for a few days. Later found out he was ailing during that time. When he did call a time was set up for him to come out on the next business day. He arrived according to the appointment time and performed the work in a professional manner and in a short period of time. His price was very reasonable. We were delighted with his work.
Description of Work: Replaced broken part from Grohe shower faucet.

Great job. I had called Sam on the 9th and made an appointment for the next day at 11AM. On the 10th he called at 8:30AM to say could come in twenty minutes, would that be okay. He came pomptly with the right tools and knowhow to get the job done in a professional manner in the least amount of time. He was neat and left the sink in a clean condition. Needlesstosay, I would use his services another time.

Overall it went well. He quoted me a price. I decided to set up a day and time for him to come out and install the doors. He asked if the old doors were still attached and I said yes, but I could remove them. He said don't worry he could do it. He called me back 5 minutes later saying if I wanted to, I could remove the old doors and he would drop the price to install the new ones. I thought that was a great bargain. He scheduled a Sunday morning appointment. He called me in advance saying he would be at my house in about 40 minutes. He was on time and punctual. He installed three doors then he and his helper went out to his van for a cigarette. They worked diligently, neatly and quickly, yet taking their time to make sure the doors were plumb, level and square. I hadn't bought enough doors, so I went to the store to buy one that I was missing. Came back and found out the label for the door was mislabeled and it was the wrong door. Went back to the store to return it, got another an it too was mislabeled (thanks Home Depot). Went to Menards and they had one out of the box and it too was the wrong size. Sam, in the mean time, continued to install the remaining doors. When I returned, with the wrong door for the third time, he said he would return the next day, pick up a door and finish the job - which he did. The only problem I had was this: before he arrived on Sunday, I was cleaning out my garage, I had a motorcycle seat that I just took pictures of to post on Craigslist. When I returned the second time from the store, there was a cigarette butt on the seat and it had melted part of the seat. I asked him if they were throwing the butts out the window of his van while they were taking their cigarette breaks and he said no and that they were smoking Marlboro Lights - that was the brand of the cigarette butt I found on the seat. It didn't melt a hole in the seat, but I did melt a circle shape in it. That is my only complaint. I have recommended him to a friend of mine who is installing a new door in his house.
Description of Work: I emailed asking estimate for installing prehung, interior 6 panel pine doors. He replied that evening with a quote.

Sam arrived promptly at 0800 and started working with a fury. He was organized and went from one job to the next leaving time for the drywall fix to dry and then paint. He was clean and professional and VERY reasonable. He refused two of the jobs I additionally asked him to do because he said he was afraid he wouldn't do a good job. He is very honest and I would use him again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Sam fixed a downspout, body shower that didn't work, and drywall on a ceiling. He also painted the area of drywall that he fixed. He caulked two sliding patio doors and releveled one so that it closed properly.

I called Sam I Am after referring to Angie's List. He came out promptly and gave me what I considered a fair estimate. He waited several days until the rain stopped and the railing was dry and scrapped the old paint. Then he came back after the railing was completely dry and painted, 2 coats of primer and paint. He plugged the hole left by an installation by Comcast and is going to repair a leak in the gutter. He was thorough, put tarps down and tape to be certain no paint got on the walk or downspouts, cleaned up after himself.
