I had already ordered the parts based on Googling the issue. Turned out I was right and they installed and made some recommendations for future upkeep as well. Reasonably priced.

Jake and Dave were fantastic. They were very dependable and pushed the tins lag as much as possible without sacrificing quality. They started on time and on budget and were a pleasure to work with.

TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED! NEVER WILL I HIRE THIS COMPANY WHO ATTEMPTED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE! I purchased a voucher through Angies List from Davies Home Services in order to remove a garbage disposal. The voucher was for 1 hour of handyman service for $60. My garbage disposal went bad and wanted it removed. I originally hired a plumber from Angies List to remove and install my current one which took under an hour to complete the job last year. I even went so far as to time the installation and watched the entire process. Therefore, I was fully aware as to the amount of time it would take to just remove a garbage disposal. However, I was in total shock when Davies Home Services informed me it would take up to 4 hours! 4 hours to remove a garbage disposal, are you kidding me? In addition, they want dot charge additional money for the extra hours. They even went so far as to justify the amount of time claiming its better to over estimate. Talk about taking advantage of the customer, which is totally unacceptable especially in this economy. How unprofessional can one be as to claim that much time for a removal of a garbage disposal and making it seem it was such a major job! In reality, its not! I immediately emailed them and informed them of their inaccurate time estimate and canceled the job! I can only imagine if I had wanted a light bulb installed they would've claimed it takes 2 hours! Thats the kind of company your dealing. I even asked them to call and contact me originally, which they did not! All interaction took place via email, which is very unsettling! I mean come on, what ever happened to quality customer service that one can't even pick up the telephone to call and talk to a potential customer. Was it so hard to ask for? Either way, they dropped the ball and lost my business FOREVER!

Response from DAVIES HOME SERVICES
I would like to start out by saying I could not be more shocked at this review. This potential customer William Bermudez is someone I have never worked for. He contacted my company, Davies Home Services via email asking if we could eliminate his garbage disposal for him in one hour. I informed him that it may be possible but if we needed to go to the store to get new parts to rework the drain line, this job could run over an hour and I wanted that known by him upfront so there would be no surprises. I told him to figure 3 to 4 hours worst-case scenario. We have serviced thousands of customers and done hundreds of kitchen and bathroom remodels in the area. When everything goes smoothly we have found eliminating a garbage disposal in an hour may be practical but we always inform our customers that if we run into any additional unforeseen work there could be additional charges. Upon hearing this, William sent us a nasty email saying how unprofessional we are when all we're trying to do is look out for his best interest. He did not hire us, we did not charge him and we have never even worked for him. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction and are confident that if William were a customer of ours he would be satisfied. This is not the case as he was never a customer of Davies Home Services. I guess in this day and age someone can slander a company with no ramifications even if they have never met the owner or employees. Is not fair that a perfect stranger can announced their disappointment and accuse someone of taking advantage of them even though literally none of those things happened. Davies Home Services is celebrating our 30th year in business and look forward to many more years of high-quality and professional service to our actual customers. David Davies, Owner

The results are beautiful on the work that was done, but we received an incomplete and late estimate on additional work we had requested in the beginning. We ended up going with another contractor to complete the work in a timely manner.
Description of Work: They replaced and tiled an old shower. They replaced a ceiling and some walls in the basement. They finished and painted that area of the basement.

icWe were very disappointed in this contractor. We chose him because he was local and had strong family ties to the community. He came to our home to talk about a major home renovation project. Took measurements for a window we wanted to install and said he would be in touch. This was the last we heard from him. Has ignored calls from both my husband and myself. Would definitely NOT refer him due to this. Not returning calls is major poor business practice.

Response from DAVIES HOME SERVICES
I am very sorry we were unable to respond to your needs. I went through my record book and realized you called and left a message the day I left for vacation and I never got the message to call you back. I did talk to several of the brick layers that I work with to price out your job and the first one came in with a price that I thought was high and that is when I looked for an alternate estimate on the brick work part of the project. That price took a while to get and by that time we were swamped with end of the season obligations as the weather changed on us quickly this year. In any case, I dropped the ball and for that I do apologize. We do have a great track record with thousands of customers that were satisfied with our work. I am sorry I did not get a chance to show you what we can do. I wish you the best of luck with your home remodeling project. Dave Davies, Owner of Davies Home Services PS I will attach a $ 100.00 off coupon in the event you decide to give us another chance in the future.

They were recommended by a friend. They gave me a price for everything which was very reasonable. They moved items out of the way. I had gotten a new tub and when his people came to hook it up the tub leaked where it was joined to the pipes. They called him and he said he'd have to have a plumber come in. I asked him if it would cost me anything more and he said no and it didn't which I thought was very nice, too. I also talked to him about my steps that are in bad shape, other people try to talk me into ripping them out and he said it wasn't necessary and he could just patch them. He kept me informed all the time via email. He said not to bother putting up new paneling or anything. He was very good about not trying to sell me anything. He had the bricks blasted and said it was the new look, he also said the modern look is to just paint the ceiling and pipe plus it would be cheaper for me. I thought the price was very reasonable, it was about 5 days of work.

We hired Dave's Home services after interviewing a few other contractors to help us insulate and dry wall our living room and dining room. Of everyone we interviewed Dave was the only one who would give us an itemized list and pricing of what we wanted to do. They started work a week earlier then they said they could (which was great!). When we got a quote on time he said it would only take 4 days to do all the work and it ended up taking almost 3 weeks. We changed our mind about the wood work a few days before they were going to instal it, they worked with us to help us find something we liked better and also offered some cost cutting ways for us to help out. Close to the end of their time working with us our basement flooded and Dave helped us clean it and also brought in a sub contractor to replace our furnace and hot water heater the next day. I would use them again and recommend them to others!

Davies Home Service scheduled time for an estimated very promptly and Mr. Davies arrived on time. He provided an extremely detailed proposal. One of the best ones I received for the work I wanted completed. It did take him about 2 2 weeks to complete and mail the proposal, but I was very clear on the work he said he would perform. The price was about double his nearest competitor. I believe he would have done an excellent job, but price became the barrier.

I was very pleased with Davies. Dave Davies came to provide an estimate. He was prompt, professional and had several good suggestions on how to approach the project. His workers were hard working, efficient, polite and helpful. Quality was top notch. We are now going to use them again for another project in our house.
Description of Work: We needed our back porch and stairs repaired. There was a lot of rotting wood that had to be replaced. We also needed new exterior cellar doors to cover entry way to basement.
