Went GREAT. There were previous problems with our outdoor faucet. When used it would wet the basement floor and the sump pump would run. We bought this house 4 months ago and the wall HAD been opened there before and closed back up. When Joe & Matt opened it again we all saw Why it had been closed back up with the work not having been done... It was a HARD job. The faucet pipe had a stress hole in it likely from previous freezing yes, but the extenuating issue was that the pipe was very close to a 2x4 and very hard to work around, so the PAST plumber just closed it up UNDONE for us to find later. Enter Joe & Matt from Brothers Unlimited. They opened the wall removed and replaced a section of the 2x4 and put in a beautiful new faucet and offered to come back to fix the wall after it dried too. And they did it all for the Angies List price of $225. I know this is usually a $300 or so job (even without the "issues"). So I was VERY happy. They also came back and installed a whole house water filter for us too. And we have other work that they will hopefully be doing as soon as their schedule allows. We are very happy with their manner, their prices, abilities and their work and we highly recommend them. Jeff & Wilbert
Description of Work: Replaced outdoor faucet and installed whole house water filter.

When I purchased my promotion back in October, they were so busy they couldn't schedule me till the day after Thanksgiving. They came that day and there was some confusion as to rather I had purchased the wood or not. Someone was supposed to stop by and see what needed to be repaired and never showed. By then, it was too cold to do any repairs. The work was done this past week. They did a nice job.
Description of Work: Joe came out and repaired the wood around our windows that had begun to rot away.

It went very well, Joe and Matt were able to finish these projects in the time-frame we needed before we moved in and so we could have operating bathrooms. We will be hiring them again for our next project in the kitchen and building out a porch off kitchen..
Description of Work: Joe and Matt demoed one and a half bathrooms for us and rebuilt them for us, working with us on what to save and what to keep. We needed new drywall, new vanities, new faucets and shower heads, new light fixtures, new plumbing, new sinks and mirrors, all new 'age in place' shower in one of the baths, with heavy sliding glass doors, new baseboard and quarter round, and new floor tile in one bath as well. They were very careful not to damage the halls or floors in and out during all this work. (Of course the bathrooms are always at the other end of the house!).

They were very accommodating and broke down the shutters so that they could be picked up by our regular garbage service, which I appreciated. When I later called to try to schedule more work, I received no call back.
Description of Work: Needed shutters removed from outside of house and some installation of wall lamps. Only the outdoor work was done, as someone in the home was sick that day.

It took a little time to figure out the most direct and least invasive way to run the line, but Joe figured it out and made quick work of the project at a very reasonable price. Al (Joe's wife) was great to talk with and did all the scheduling. I would definitely have him do work in my home again

Good! But I noticed that on a current Angie's list, Brothers advertised again but @ $38.00 an hour while only last week he was at $25.00 a hour. Why so much of a increase. I don't care for that kind of culture. So I will look else where. Tom Koch

Hello [Member Name Removed], I do not know where you saw the Angies list advertisement that we charge $38.00? We have never put what we charge an hour on there. Our fee just labor is $35.00 an hour this year. Last year it was $25.00 an hour. And I always tell our clients if they ask what would it be just for labor per hour. We do not like to have our clients not know what price a job would be hence the estimate. nor not tell them what our hourly rate is. I will have Joe call your with this matter too Sincerely Al

They had to come back a 2nd time because 3 of the 4 bathroom faucets were leaking after the installation. He also scratched up the wall in one of the bathrooms replacing the faucet. The 2nd guy, who replaced the inside of the toilets didn't know what he was doing at all. He set the water level so low that I couldn't even flush 1 square of toilet paper. Upon pointing this out, the other guy fixed it. I'm still don't think they did everything right with the toilets. After they did the work, one sometimes keeps running after it's flushed (never a problem before) and another randomly fills (also never a problem before).
Description of Work: Bought 2 hours of handyman work. Had them replace 4 bathroom faucets and the inside of the toilets.

Will revisit in the spring when the work is done.
Description of Work: I hired these guys to caulk my windows. Not knowing this, they informed me that I didn't need my windows caulked! They did notice there was quite a bit of wood rot on my trim, which I was aware of. They quoted me a good price and is giving me credit for what I paid through Angie's List for the caulking job. The work will be don with the weather breaks! These guys are amazing and honest!! Even though the work is not done yet, I'm sure the quality of their work is equal the quality of their integrity!!! Looking forward to spring.

Wood that had been exposed to moisture for a long time. Joe did an excellent job of chipping away the spoiled wood and filling in the needed amount of wood filler to even out the surface. He was early and very professional.
