Took too long to replace pipes since they were hand sawed and didn't fit easily. This made the cost too high and resulted in too many problems. They also said I must have bumped the pipes which caused them to leak I did not.
Description of Work: I had a leaking kitchen drain pipe. They replaced the baskets and completely re did all the drain pipes in a different configuration, There are 8-10 connectors. It took hours at a cost of over $200. twenty minutes after they left the drain was leaking. They came back and re tightened all the loose connectors.A few weeks later it leaked again so they came back. This was on September 14th. This week the drain began leaking again. I called and they came this morning. They changed a drain and then asked for a $25 service call. I would not pay it since the work had so many problems.(Also had 2 bathroom faucets installed and those are ok..)

Good Morning [Member Name Removed]. We installed your faucet and your pipes in Sept.14th did come out 2 wks Sept 26th later. Then in Nov last Friday. We do have a limited warranty on all our jobs. This entails 90 days after the installation of any project, with a clause of not be tampered with. You had stated to me that you tried to tighten the connections both times we were out and I told you," you shouldn't be tightening them if we installed them" . Hence the $25 service call. Al

It was $299 for a handyman for 8 hours. I would say that is was not a good experience. There was a certain amount of money or 4 hours of service. I must admit, he did come that afternoon and I guess it fixed it partially. When I called, I guess he was tired, that's understandable because he came from another job. After that he did rest. There is a portion that did not look the way it was. It's hard because you didn't see the one you brought the deal from. I guess It's partially my fault because I didn't check how many hours he spent on the siding. I didn't do that, and I don't want to deal with that. I don't exactly know how long he did it, maybe it was for three hours. That's the only thing, but I didn't pursue it either. He did call again and said that my siding really need some more work, but he made it clear that I would have to pay more for him to come back. I didn't even know how long he was here and I just decided not to. If I have any questions or anything, I just didn't call back. He completed the repair. It's not very much. It was very high in the house. When you hire people, you can't really say if it is a bad job because I can't go up there and look. I don't want him to come back and fix it. I don't think I would rehire them. His responsiveness was good. In all honesty, he came and fixed it. He came when we were not here, but if he would have came in the afternoon I think it would have been a good review for him. I never saw him, I only talked to him over the phone.
Description of Work: I hired them to put back the siding.

It went well. I had a list and they were able to knock out almost everything. They were not able to do the complete faucet replacement because they did not have the special plumbing tool. However they fixed the faucet so that it was serviceable again. Very happy with the work.

Ran into some issues that were not the fault of the provider. Most of the work I needed done was accomplished, after I contracted with them for additional hours. The deal was for 8 hours of handyman work, which seemingly was a good deal. What I did not know was that the handyman brought along helper, who did little more than make trips to the service truck and hold tools. They were at my residence for only 4 hours, not 8. Bottom line, it was not such a "Good Deal" This should have been disclosed in your ad, or by the contractor up front. I doubt I will use Angie's List again.
Description of Work: New doors installed, light bathroom remodel.

What a great experience. I called to ask if they could fix the weatherstripping on 3 doors. While leaving a voice message, Al returned my call (how refreshing to have such responsiveness!). They were able to come out the day I called. Joe and his son did the work. After looking at all 3 doors, only 2 needed to be fixed. They left to buy the right parts and came back to install them. They were thorough, efficient and professional. I have some other home repair projects coming up and will definitely use this company for them!
Description of Work: Replace the rubber weatherstripping at the bottom of 3 doors.

The work they performed was adequate, if a little crude. The sliding glass door broke again about a week after they had left. Mainly I was satisfied with the fact that we paid for eight hours of work and the tasks that we had for them that day only took about three hours. They would not come back again on another day to use the remaining hours. We had to use the hours all in one day or lose them.
Description of Work: Various handy jobs such as repairing a light fixture, resituating a sliding glass door, tightening a bannister, fixing a glass shower door.

I am sorry that we did not meet your expectations. If we had received a call that your door was not working we would have come. As for the hours stated in Angies deals we have 2 workers that come to the home and then it is only 4 hours. I usually tell all our clients this is how it works, and the hourly rate that they will pay if we stay over that 4 hours. It is Angies rule that we do the work in a single visit. Again we are sorry that you were not satisfied. Al & Joe

It went great! I was not even home when they did their work, and I was so happy to see everything fixed when I returned home. The woodwork is solid. There's no evidence of damage.

Work was good. However, we were surprised when we received an invoice in the mail for a "materials" charge (under $50) for one composite board the width of a front door) - honestly thought that because the actual time spent was less than that offered in the special they would have considered one board a wash ... but apparently not. While the work was good, and we can understand (but were surprised by) the "extras" charge, we felt it was a little to the tight side and left us with the impression that we would be concerned about pricing/charging on a larger project.
Description of Work: Front door threshold repaired - remove/replace rotted board.

Mr [Member Name Removed], I sent you an email stating that the work is for 4 hours. Angies list states 8 but that is for 1 handyman. and we use [Member Information Removed] for wood ro.t Why did you not call the office to ask that question. I do state at the time of booking of this difference in Angies sheet. You may ask them and they will verify this. Al

I live in an HOA community that requires proof of insurance for all work. Brothers Unlimited refused to provide proof. They were willing to show it the day they did the work but that wasn't acceptable. They said someone had stolen their certificate in the past. I've never encountered a co pansy u willing to provid proof of insurance. Not sure if they had something to hide but I had to request a refund and find another contractor.
