BRUCE'S HOME REPAIR

Bruce did an outstanding job both doing the work himself and with dealing with the subcontractors. Everything was performed on time and to perfection. In addition, Bruce made accommodations to give me access to the sink, stove and refrigerator while constructions was being performed. He came back after the bulk of the work was done to make sure I was satisfied with all of the work performed.

Work was done very well. I was very happy. The work was professional and he looked for the best product to use for the project.

HE WAS IN & OUT BEFORE I KNEW IT, GOOD CLEAN UP. HE WAS NICE, POLITE, & COURTEOUS.

HE OFFERS EXCELLENT PRICES, WONDERFUL WORK, VERY FRIENDLY, GREAT WITH MY ELDERLY PARENTS AND VERY PROFESSIONAL.

CALLED THE OWNER TWICE. FIRST TIME IN JULY; HE SAID HE WAS VERY BUSY. SECOND TIME, IN NOVEMBER 2004; AGAIN HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ''SWAMPED'' AND CAN GET BACK TO ME IN 5-6 WEEKS. HE RECOMMENDED I FIND OTHER PEOPLE AT ANGIE'S LIST.

I CALLED ANOTHER COMPANY AS A COMPARISON, THE OWNER CAME OUT AND ESTIMATED $150 FOR THE SAME WORK. WE HIRED HIM BASED ON PRICE AND HIS WILLINGNESS TO FIT US INTO HIS SCHEDULE AT THE END OF THE UPCOMING SATURDAY. HE DID THE WORK FOR $75 AS IT TOOK LESS TIME THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. IT SEEMS, IN RETROSPECT, BRUCE'S HOME REPAIR MAY OVER CHARGE. ALTHOUGH HE WAS VERY POLITE ON THE PHONE, AND HELPFUL, THE PRICE GAP BETWEEN HIS COMPANY AND THE ONE WE HIRED SEEMS VAST. BOTH COMPANIES ARE HIGHLY RATED ON ANGIE'S LIST.

BRUCE CAME WHEN HE SAID AND HE DID A SUPER JOB EVEN GOING TO THE HARDWARE FOR FILLER TO REPAIR WINDOW SILL & PEGS TO HOLD SCREEN. IT WAS A DIFFICULT JOB, BUT HANDLED WELL. HE LEFT ME WITH DIRECTIONS ON FINISHING UP THE WINDOW FRAME WHICH WAS APPRECIATED. HIS PRICE WAS REASONABLE AND I'M HAPPY.

BRUCE WAS GREAT. HE WAS SKILLED, TIDY AND PROFESSIONAL. HE CHARGED A FAIR PRICE. I WILL DEFINITELY USE HIS SERVICES AGAIN.

HE IS JUST AN A++++++. WHEN HE IS HERE HE IS HONEST AND WILL EVEN GIVE YOUR HOME AN OVER VIEW TO TELL YOU WHAT MAY NEED TO BE REPAIRED. WHEN HE LEAVES EVERYTHING IS SPOTLESS.

HE STATED HE WOULD BE IN MY AREA THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY AND WOULD CALL ME BEFORE HE CAME. HE NEVER CALLED OR SHOWED UP. I CALLED HIM AGAIN, TO FIND OUT WHEN HE WAS COMING, AND HE NEVER RETURNED MY CALL.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF HE HAD INDICATED 2 MONTHS AGO THAT HE WAS TOO BUSY TO TAKE ON ANY MORE WORK. INSTEAD I WASTED A LOT OF TIME BECAUSE HE WAS SO WELL RECOMMENDED. NEVER AGAIN.

MY DECORATOR AND I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CONTACT HIM TO SEE WHEN HE COULD BEGIN THE JOB AND HE NEVER CALLED BACK. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HIS LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM! THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS TERRIBLE. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE!

BRUCE VISITED OUR LOCATION TO CHECK OUT THE JOB IN ADVANCE. HE CAME ON THE DAY BEFORE OUR MOVE, ON TIME, TO TAKE EVERYTHING APART, THEN CAME ON THE DAY FOLLOWING OUR MOVE TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER AND MOUNT ALL OF OUR BOOKCASES. EVERYTHING WENT VERY SMOOTHLY FOR THIS TRANSACTION. HIS WORK WAS EXCELLENT, INCLUDING THE SHORTENING AND RE-LEVELING OF ONE OF THE DESK SURFACES THAT DID NOT FIT IN OUR NEW SPACE.

BRUCE WAS VERY POLITE AND ON TIME. HE WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE WHEN WE NEEDED HIM. HE SHOWED UP WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD.

BRUCE WAS PROMPT, EFFICIENT & REASONABLY PRICED. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL & GAVE GOOD ADVICE ABOUT SOLVING PROBLEMS.

BRUCE DOES GREAT WORK AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. HE'S DONE MANY THINGS FOR MY FAMILY AND HAS CONSISTENTLY DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

BRUCE IS MY HERO. WITHOUT HIM, MY 100 YR OLD HOUSE WOULD BE A DISASTER. HE IS A PERFECTIONIST AND WORKS INCREDIBLY HARD TO MAKE SURE I'M HAPPY, TOO. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HIS SUPERB CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DESIGN IDEAS. HE ALWAYS TAKES THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND IN THIS DAY THAT IS TRULY A RARITY.

HE FOLLOWED UP WITH A PHONE CALL. HE EXPLAINED CABINET REFINISHING WAS NOT SOMETHING HE DID. I EXPLAINED OTHER JOBS I WAS LOOKING TO HAVE DONE AND HE PROMISED TO CALL ME BACK BUT OUR TIME LINES WERE NOT COMPATIBLE. I NEVER RECEIVED A SECOND CALL.

THE WINDOW CAME AS A KIT TO REPLACE AN OLD (1920S) SASH WINDOW. SOME ADJUSTMENTS HAD TO BE MADE TO THE WINDOW STOOL. THE WORK WAS PERFORMED EFFICIENTLY, WITHIN THE ESTIMATE GIVEN, AND THE WORK AREA WAS LEFT QUITE CLEAN. THE QUALITY WAS VERY GOOD.

WAS ONE HOUR LATE SHOWING UP FOR THE JOB.

HE WAS REALLY A GOOD GUY. I HAVE HAD OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB CLEANING UP. HE HOWEVER DID A GOOD JOB. HE WORKED REALLY HARD AND I WOULD CONSIDER HIRING HIM FOR SMALLER JOBS.

I NEVER HOOKED UP WITH BRUCE. HE WAS LOUSY IN RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS AND DIDN''T SEEM TO WANT TO DRIVE THREE TOWNS AWAY ( I COULD BE WRONG). ALTHOUGH HE WAS POLITE, WE NEVER CONDUCTED OUR BUSINESS. HIS SCHEDULE WAS BUSY WITH PERSONAL FAMILY RELATED OUTINGS. I BELIEVE IF I WAS GEOGRAPHICALLY MORE DESIRABLE FOR HIM, WE WOULD HAVE HOOKED UP.

WHEN I CALLED HIM, HE SAID HE WAS VERY BUSY BUT WOULD CALL ME BACK IN A FEW DAYS IF HE COULD DO THE WORK. HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK.

BRUCE IS A TREASURE! WE GOT ESTIMATES IN THE $3-4,000 RANGE FROM SEVERAL CARPENTERS ON THIS JOB TO INSTALL CROWN MOLDING. BRUCE CAME IN AT LESS THAN HALF THE LOWEST BID. THE OTHER CARPENTERS ALSO SAID THIS JOB WOULD TAKE 3-4 DAYS. WHEN BRUCE ARRIVED FOR THE ESTIMATE, HE NOTICED THAT THE NEW MOLDING COULD BE PUT UP OVER THE EXISTING MOLDING, THUS SAVING TIME AND ENSURING THAT THERE WOULD BE A SURFACE TO NAIL THE NEW MOLDING INTO. DUE TO OUR TIME CONSTRAINTS, BRUCE SCHEDULED THE WORK ON A SATURDAY AND COMPLETED THE JOB IN ABOUT 11 HOURS (CLOSER TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME WE WERE TOLD BY FRIENDS THAT IT SHOULD TAKE), INCLUDING SOME TRICKY NOTCHING WORK AND CAULKING. BRUCE AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL, ARRIVING ON TIME AND CLEANING UP THOROUGHLY. WE ARE EAGER TO WORK WITH BRUCE AGAIN!

HE WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND PROMPT AND FULLY LISTENED TO MY DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS.
