Description of Work: Vendor was unwilling/unable to work with my unusual closets, because my closets are in the attic and are on an angle. A communication barrier hindered the relationship, initially, as the man who was sent over was more interested in my stairs than my closets! (Turns out Splash specializes in stairs!) A partner company was called upon to help out with communication, and he was great. He will likely complete a different project for me down the line but my closets were unable to get completed by Splash so I want to return the Big Deal. I feel that if Splash's owner, Adrian, would have just come by himself then we would have been better off. I am due to give labor any time now so the rush hindered him from coming by directly. It is what it is.

Response from Splash Carpentry
I sent my best carpenter to tackle this project. I understood that is a time sensitive project but buying a coupon does not give anyone the right to dictate our schedule. The member claimed that the carpenter's English is poor. With all due respect, the scope of the work is to build some simple shelves and drawers, not to support the main character in "The King's Speech". However, we sent Dylan, born and raised in Chicago, to brake the language barrier then we bumped into the real issue: we wont complete a $1,300 project for a coupon. So, long story short: this is the 6 th bad review coming from a member who bought a coupon without bothering to ask for availability and an estimate.

Description of Work: I e-mailed and called Splash to find if the could handle the project I had in mind. They did indicate that they could, I purchased the coupon as I already had an estimate for the job and wanted to compare prices. Splash estimate was double any other estimate received, Job description - tile an 10 X 10 room, remove drywall from one wall, add 2 X 2 to existing wall, insulate drywall and paint

here is our proposal: -demolition of the existing wall from the bedroom; -extend the thickness of the existing studs with 2"; -install insulation R 13 -remove and save crown molding, reinstall, caulk and paint; -install 2 new closet doors; -hang up bedroom door, touch it up, prime and paint; -repair the wall (chewed by the parrots); -remove window casing, apply the jam extension to accomodate to the new thickness of the wall; -reinstall casing, prime and paint; -repaint the whole room including the closet; -clean up the concrete floor, level the floor with self leveling cement; -install new ceramic tiles -install new basoboards and base shoe and paint them. -remove and dispose the debris. total cost $3,120 including the coupon purchased $1,499. The member stated "i bought the coupon to compare prices". Nobody needs to buy anything to compare prices, they only need to ask for estimates. The review is completely ridiculous and childish and it has nothing to do with punctuality, being responsive, professional etc. This is our 5 th bad review since we started on Angie's List. What they have in common is two things: they all bough coupons without asking for an estimate and they all got frustrated when the estimate was higher than expected. In other words, we have 5 bad reviews for 5 jobs we refused to do for the price estimated by the members themselves.

Provide and install 2 posts, two sections of railings and balusters. All in red oak. Provide custom stain to match the rest of the stairs and finish with 3 coats of water base varnish. We wont do that for less than $2000 including the materials regardless how many times cheaper other vendors are.

Description of Work: It just didn't work out w/provider. He wants to do pre-service online and I couldn't provide pictures of where work was to be done, online.(I'm just not good at downloading pictures) I was going to be charged more if he was to come over to the house to see the stairs and a ridiculous price for 10 extra balusters.

Response from Splash Carpentry
the coupon specifies very clearly what we offer: $200 for the first 10 balusters. Our bid was $600 for 20 balusters. This was the customer's reply to our bid: "So the whole job will be $600? If I decide to use wooden balusters, instead of iron, would the cost be the same or lower?" . Buying a coupon does not mean we lost the right to estimate our work or that the customer can completely change the scope of the work. We understand that some people can't send pictures but since it's we were found online, i assume they can call or email if they have questions. Please note that the few bad reviews we have are from customers that bought coupons and got frustrated when we refused to do the extra work for free.

Description of Work: Adrian from Splash Carpentry talked to us via email and phone. He was very nice and knowledgeable. We have a single-family home, plus an investment property where my sister lives. Both houses have several small project needs. Adrian seems very talented and flexible, but our projects are too small for the amount of money and time we were quoted. The Big Deal was $299 for 8 hours of labor, excluding materials. For the initial project we asked about, building/installing rails on a front porch, we were quoted an additional $900 including materials. This ended up being 4 times as much as the provider we hired (and that provider also did a great job). We had other projects in mind, but they would have required Adrian to come out and look in more detail to quote us, and I didn't want to waste his time if the cost would be way more than we could get with the other servicers we have hired. If I ever need a fancier, bigger project, I would keep Adrian/Splash Carpentry in mind, but for handyman carpentry, this Big Deal just didn't work out for us. I will still give good marks to Splash and continue using Angie's List. Thanks.

i went to inspect the job site. I realized that everything that she wants to be done it's a 5 minutes task that is not even related to carpentry. I advised to use the coupon for something else or simply ask for a refund.

Description of Work: We had some crown moulding and some base boards installed in a bedroom at our condo. They where excellent! They made the whole process so easy. They picked up the supplies for us, installed, and painted everything within 4 hours. True professionals! We will be using them again for future projects.

Description of Work: Purchased a Big Deal coupon and used it for front door/storm door installation. They were on time, very clean, and extremely patient with my old off centered non-squared house. The scope of the work was way beyond the value of the Big Deal and Adrian was very reasonable with the cost of overage ($140 for an additional 6 hours of work).

They were excellent!
Description of Work: I had 485 square feet of flooring refinished. They performed the job in two days, moving furniture to one side the first day, and to the other side on the second day. Because I used a more expensive, low fume finishing, I was able to sleep in my apartment while the floors were being done -plus the floors dried within a few hours. I was so impressed with the professionalism and quality of their work. They were punctual, worked quickly and on the second day were gone by 11AM. They left very little dust (used a special dust collecting system) and best of all my floors are beautiful!! I would not hesitate to use them again.

We never received any calls or emails from this gentleman. After a phone call, we request pictures from the job site if possible and a list of the task that we have to handle. After that, we provide a general estimate and the final one only after inspecting the job site and in writing. We never gave an estimate prior to have this email or the job site inspected by one of the company's specialists.

Very well.
Description of Work: The team of two drywalled the walls and created a knee wall for the basement staircase. They also installed risers on my open basement stairs. This project has made a big difference and has incorporated the lower level as part of our home. They worked hard, cleaned up after themselves and were very coureous.
