Roger was right in tune to what home inspectors wanted done prior to selling house. He repaired many things on the list ( rafters- siding- gas fireplace - furnace duct work- etc)

It went great. Roger not only fixed all the issues we needed to have fixed following our inspection, but he found a couple of additional items that also needed a little attention. The work that he did was fantastic and he was very reasonably cheap. He was also incredibly responsive. If we continued to live in the area, we would definitely use Roger again and again.

Roger and his team are excellent and very thorough. They do high quality work. I am very particular in how things are done and Roger meets or exceeds my expectations. His estimates are pretty close and he is good about working in changes as the project goes. It can be tricky to get in touch with him at times.

It went great. They were very patient with us, considering we figured out what we wanted - in part - as we went along. We chose hardware (towel racks, vanity, tub etc) at Lowe's and they picked it all up and did the install. The plumber bill was about $900 and the Original Bros bill another $4-5k, I forget the exact number. I should note that there were some unknowns - how much hidden water damage to the floor/wall near the tub, etc, but they gave us good ideas of what to expect and the range of costs we might incur. They were very upfront with us about all costs, and gave good recommendations as in "do what you want but I don't recommend doing X and Y." I was Very impressed. I should mention that a certain unprofessional plumber who came by our house quoted us over $10k for the tub repair alone. I went into this with a lot of apprehension and expectations for problems, and was really pleased how it turned out. I am normally very pessimistic and suspicious and they put me at ease with the manner in which we prepared for the work, how it was done, and getting everything wrapped up. A problem after the fact (GFCI outlet went bad) was promptly remedied at no cost to us. I very highly recommend these folks.
Description of Work: They remodeled our master bathroom. In partnership with a plumber they brought on, they fixed the (upstairs) bath/shower drains (working from the downstairs ceiling), tore up and replaced the bathroom floor, replaced some rotted wood, replaced the tub and wall behind the tub, removed the old vanity, installed a (heavy...) new vanity plus mirror and lights, fixed the exhaust fan and its exhaust-ing to outside, put up new towel racks, painted, and installed a new GFCI electrical outlet.

We had severe water damage to our upstairs ceiling after a leak in the roof on our house. My husband and I could not have been more pleased with Roger and his team. They were professional, honest, knowledgeable and the quality was excellent. Roger also helped with other minor issues we had around the house. His experience and guidance were refreshing during a difficult repair. We would highly recommend his company.

Roger, Angela and Tom were great. They covered all of the items including fixing a broken spa tub stopper, an improperly angled drain pipe in the kitchen, a non flushing toilet, a broken pocket door latch, a "dead" outlet, and resealing a boot/flu cap thing on the roof, and I'm sure I am forgetting one or two other tasks. They finished these in one afternoon and the final bill came to over a hundred dollars below estimate. They even showed me how to install the new water filter I bought that I wanted to install on my own.

The gutter corners had previously been sealed with a tar like substance. Original Bros. thoroughly cleaned and sealed each gutter corner. The corners are difficult to reach on our house, but Rodger did an excellent job making the repairs. He then cleaned the length of the gutters and the downspouts. The work was completed on time and the work area was cleaned.

I requested a quote for the removal of a basketball hoop that was in poor shape. The quote I received from Original Bros beat the competitor by a LOT. I assumed the quote I received was for removal only based on the price difference. I was very pleased to see that the hole was filled with dirt and I believe it was also seeded. I did have a bit of an issue hearing back or receiving confirmation while trying to get an appointment scheduled. Nothing that would warrant a negative mark. Overall I am very happy with the service I received and plan to seek out Roger for upcoming projects.

awaited insurance claim to process and Original Brothers then provided estimated date of repairs. Due to nature of repair action, they had to reschedule due to rainy weather and windy conditions. That was acceptable to occupants and repairs were scheduled and completed soon after. Finished job looks great.

We hired Roger to remove and replace a fascia board which had split along its length leaving a gap big enough to put your hand in. The project was complicated by damage to the roof left over from a tree coming down on the house years ago. Roger and his crew removed the gutter and old section of split fascia, jacked the corner of the roof back into the correct position and braced it, then put up a new section fascia and replaced the gutters. They are a pleasure to work with and very, very neat. The cleanup after the job was excellent. Excellent service. Great communication by email. Highly recommended.

The wood beneath my 40 year old patio door had begun to rot due to water and insect damage so the patio door and the flooring underneath had to be removed. Roger's quote was less than half that of the other contractor I had contacted. Part of that is due to the fact that Roger did not quote beyond the necessary and requested work. He helped in recommending the replacement door, and worked with it even though it did not match the original door specs. The work crew was very punctual and professional and respectful of the property and materials. They worked with me leaving me with the decision to handle the minor tasks which I could do myself, rather than charging their contractor rates for the simple tasks. The job was completed in less time than I had planned, which was important to me since I had a narrow window in which to have the work done. I would wholeheartedly recommend Roger and his crew for your handyman and remodeling jobs!

This was a chronic problem of a leak in the basement around the doorway. I thought it was because the grand-kids had bent the door by running up and down it for years. (It was a great slide for them) but Roger showed me it was the seal around the door and the wood was rotted and needed replaced. He gave me several options to fix this, one being wrap the wood in aluminum and this would create a good seal for the caulk or replace the wood. Have the door sandblasted and I could paint it myself or get it powder coated. I choose to replace the wood, have the door removed and sandblasted and paint the door myself. Roger was very aware of costs and always gave me choices to fit my budget. It was EXTREMELY hot while he did this work with the temperatures in the 90's both days. He is a very hard worker and finished in a very timely manner and did a very good job. The repairs look great. His estimate was spot on, only went over by about $50.00 which was necessary and he explained everything as he went along. I would highly recommend him and will call him again when needing work done.

I was very pleased with Roger's work, as always. The price, $280, was the full price of the job, parts and labor. I did need to check back in double check on getting the work on his calendar, but we had a loose time frame. I had communicated to him that there was time to get it done when it fit into his schedule, so I didn't consider that to be a big problem. I highly recommend Original Bros. for a wide range of home repair needs. Roger is professional, skilled, and pleasant.
