It turned out the lock is self was defective and/or cheaply made. Not his fault. I'm the one that bought the cheap Kwikset lock. I told him to leave it out and I would buy a replacement and slip it in the hole he drilled earlier. No charge. Very professional the way they backed up their service.
Description of Work: He came back to look at a deadbolt lock he had recently installed that was rattling.

Everything went great. They were very easy to work with. Can't think of anything to improve on. They went right to work but did ask how I wanted things done (ie clear caulk or white caulk), let me know when they were done with each item on the list so I could check to see if it was what I expected, fully explained things when asked. I now know how a garbage disposal actually works. They not only did the jobs on the list but did them to my satisfaction and made sure I was happy with their work. Will definitely use them again.

Robert is a thorough professional and we had a great experience working with him and his team. We had to get our entire 5 bedroom 4000sq ft single family home completely renovated, because our tenant destroyed the house. We had to get the entire wooden floors sanded and polished, carpets stripped and Kiltz treated and walls/ceilings painted. Robert completed all the work within 2 weeks and most importantly he did everything while me and my family were staying out of state in Philadelphia. After meeting Robert and speaking to him, I handed him the house keys, and we laid full trust in him. We instinctively knew that he is a thorough gentleman and a great professional and would get the complex job done on time. Robert kept sending me pictures of work completed each day and he started and finished his work with utmost precision and on time. His team subsequently remodeled our master bathroom and also helped with kitchen remodeling. You will not be disappointed with Robert and his team’s professionalism, workmanship and punctuality. His quote estimates and final pricing are fair and accurate. I thoroughly recommend him and his company for any handyman and house repair service. I will rate Robert A+++, since we got our house back fully restored, after being gutted by a nasty tenant. Loved working with Robert, Roger, Mike and Mark. Excellent team.

The wood structures around the second floor windows were rotting out, and with winter approaching Robert was able to get them all repaired quickly and professionally. I was overseeing the work from out of town so it was great to get frequent updates on the project's progress. Robert an the whole crew were very friendly, they even made a birdhouse from scrap wood for my 3 year old daughter. I would highly recommend contacting Silver Hammer, in fact we plan on having them work on some additional projects for us this winter.

Response from Silver Hammer Construction
[Member Name Removed] and his mom [Member Name Removed] were a pleasure to work for. There was a significant amount of "unforeseen" wood rot that we encountered on this project, that caused the estimate to increase in cost. Both [Member Name Removed] and [Member Name Removed] were glad that our approach to the work was one of doing a quality job, and happy that the attention to detail was being paid. The re-build of these exterior window boxes on the second story was no easy task, but in the end , my crew and I were happy with the finished result, and glad that the customer was pleased as well. Birdhouse: [Member Name Removed] and family live in Seattle area, and this house was grand-pa's , and grand pa passed unexpectedly... the birdhouse was made from the original wood that framed the windows. Just a little something for the kids to keep from grandma and grandpa's house. Happy to be able to have a little fun on the job. Thanks for the nice review to the [Member Name Removed] Clan, and thanks for the work. Robert and Team SHHS .

A Silver Hammer Construction did excellent work for us. Robert was quick to respond to my estimate request. Our project was set and they came as agreed on time. He was also responsive to questions via text messages. His prices are very reasonable. All the work was completed as we planned. Roger, our pro assigned to our project was knowledge and professional and we enjoyed having him in our home. He was careful to protect our home while working, and cleaned up very well afterwards. So, if you have a list of of projects to get done in your home, I highly recommend Silver Hammer Construction. Looking forward to working with them in the future.

Response from Silver Hammer Construction
Sadly this customer is correct with her review. I do apologize that the attempt to stop by and evaluate the painting project did not take place. Silver Hammer Home Services makes every attempt to provide prompt customer from start to finish of all projects. Estimate visits take up an enormous amount of time, and require not only the visit time, but office time also to prepare the final quote. Try as hard as we do, sometimes during a VERY busy season, some situations fall through the cracks. My role as owner and project manager is : Customer contact , estimate visits, material procurement , job set up, quality control, and final customer project evaluation of a completed job. I mentioned above, I would agree with the review of this customer, that we failed in the responsiveness and punctuality of our mission to provide good customer service. Many companies suffer from certain growing pains, this is/has been one of ours. I have identified this , and strive to resolve our shortcoming in this area. I again apologize to this Angie's List member for any and all inconvenience that might have been caused by contact with our company. Robert Omelson Owner/Project Manager

Robert from Silver Hammer rebuilt our pergola. He was very thorough in inspecting the project, explaining what needs to be changed/repaired and what does not. He followed up daily on the progress. He followed up diligently, stayed on budget and delivered an excellent pergola for us to enjoy. I would definitely hire him again.

Robert came and looked at the project I needed done and said he would e-mail me a quote in a couple days and that's the last I heard from him. If he didn't want the job he should have just said so. Very unprofessional.

Response from Silver Hammer Construction
We were contacted by customer on Friday 9/21/18, regarding getting an estimate for some extensive wood header replacement over a double garage door. I responded THAT day to come by for an estimate. I spent an hour explaining what was happening that had caused the wood to rot the header wood area. Upon leaving the home I explained that it would be "A few days" before I would have an estimate back to him, due to pricing out of materials. I suggested a text with the preliminary costs, and he advised me that he was not able to receive/sent text and [Member Information Removed]-mail would be best. What with the weekend involved, I prepared an estimate, and called the customer on 9/25 to give him a cost for the job. I then followed up with an emailed detailed estimate on 9/27/18. Apparently , we were not quick enough in the response time to the suit this customers needs or anticipation. I do regret the time that it sometimes take to prepare an accurate estimate. However , Silver Hammer Home Services prides itself on concise, accurate estimates that can be trusted to reflect the final costs at the end of the job. Nothing upsets a customer more than additional expenses for time or materials as the project progresses, or a huge cost additions at the end of the job. This job required such accuracy in the estimation process. I apologize for any inconvenience that our delay of submitting an estimate might have caused the customer, and hope that they were able to secure a contractor that would be able to complete the job for them. We will certainly work to improve our turn around time in the estimating process. Silver Hammer Home Services Inc. is and always will be driven to assure customer satisfaction is JOB #1. I appreciate the time that this customer has taken to give his opinion of his individual experience with our service. Regards, Robert Omelson Project Manger/President Silver Hammer Home Services Inc.

It was a last minute call to see when he could take care of the work I needed done before new windows were installed. He was able to come the same day and took care of everything which included taking down a honeycomb blind from a 2-story foyer and patch the nail holes. He had left over patching compound and patched a few nail holes by other windows.

It was one bad experience and was the first time for me from Angie's list contractor. Communication from was a nightmare from the get-go. Called Silver Hammer multiple times and finally got hold of Robert. I explained the work, then he sent his associate Rogers to the place of the project for an evaluation. Based on Roger's pictures that he took from the project place and perhaps also based on Roger's opinion (Roger -- he is a nice guy ) Robert texted a quote. After a couple of conversations/questions/concerns, I agreed with the quote and Robert texted me saying one of his guys can start work following week and will send the contract to my email. I provided the e-mail, sent a text to confirm it. No response at all. His answering machine is almost always full, so unable to leave a message. Hardly pick-up the phone or return back. Sent three more texts asking for his contract to be sent, NO response. If a contractor cannot perform what was discussed and verbally agreed for whatever reason, at least should have the decency and the professionalism to inform the customer, so I would look for somebody else. For me, it was the time, the greatest asset that was lost by waiting and expecting a response from Silver Hammer. Overall, terrible experience that I or any other homeowner would not want to deal with.

Robert was excellent to work with. He was very responsive and communicated well about when he we be at our house. Even though it was late on a Friday, he spent time not only doing the work but also explaining to us a few risks we have with the way some patchwork was done in our home. It was an overall great experience working with Robert - the quality of the work and ease of doing business stand out.
