Description of Work: INSTALLED FANS IN 3 BATHROOMS WHICH INVOLVED CUTTING 3 HOLES IN METAL LATH AND PLASTER CEILING WITH EMBEDDED HOT WATER HEATING PIPES. HE DID IT WITHOUT DAMAGING THE PIPES EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS ONLY 1/2 INCH CLEARANCE. HE HAD A TOOL FOR EVERY NEED AND KNEW HOW TO USE IT. IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE SINCE I HAD HAD 5 OTHER HANDYMEN AND 2 ELECTRICIANS REFUSE THE JOB.

Description of Work: Dave was right on time & got right to work. He worked very efficiently and expeditiously and clearly explained everything he was doing so I could also learn a little bit. Final product looked great. I am happy to have "a guy" to call for handyman projects and would definitely use Dave again.

Newman Household Repair is great.
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's Big Deal to get some trim work, shelves and hooks installed in our mudroom. They came out soon after I purchased the Big Deal. I ended up spending $100.00 more than the initial price of the Big Deal.

Thanks for your feedback. I am happy to hear that you think Newman Household Repair is "great". I do strive to earn an “A” rating overall on every job. Based on your comments, I’m a bit confused as to why we did not earn an “A” from you for quality, and would like to see if there is something we could do to convince you that we are deserving of that grade. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at 312-401-7558. Thanks again!
