It went well. He showed up, gave me an estimate. It was lower than previous estimates. He was able to complete the job the same day. His work was good. He was a pleasant person and conducted himself in a professional manner. I have already recommended him to others and plan to hire him for another job.
Description of Work: Down spouts on my two story 110 year old house and garage were crushed, fell off due to rotten trim boards. He painted replaced, caulked trim. reattached down spouts. He replaced crushed down spout.

Barry Roach helped us address some issues an inspector found when we were selling our house. Since the sale was contingent on getting these issues resolved quickly, we really appreciated his prompt service, even in the dead of winter. He replaced some siding, repaired some loose/lost shingles, cleaned the exterior of out upstairs windows. He provided materials, and did a great job matching the siding (although he had to go to several places to find the right match). We would use him again.
Description of Work: General exterior repairs.

Barry was all round absolutely wonderful. He was professional. Timely. Exceptional work. Extremely neat and clean. Work was done in my 1000 sq. foot 1900's cottage which is not a lot of room yo work in. I plan on doing more renovation and will defiantly rehire him.

While Barry may come across as a little odd at first, he's a true gem as far and handymen go. He keeps his appointments, he calls ahead, he communicates any difficulties and any necessary changes, double checks on any choices that need to be made. The job took quite a bit longer than estimated and there for a moment I had my doubts that these projects would ever come together. It was a huge mess for a while, but when all was said and done, all jobs were done perfectly and he cleaned up really well after himself. I own an older home and inevitably there are problems and surprises with any job done on this house, so the jobs took quite a bit longer than anticipated. However, I was not charged an outrageous amount of labor because of that. And he had given me a shopping list prior to the job, so I could purchase the items I wanted. There were a few things that were needed throughout the job. He went ahead and picked those up at the store, paid with his own funds and provided receipts for everything at the end of the job so I could reimburse him. Altogether a great experience. He will be my go-to handy man from now on.
Description of Work: Installed a new exterior door including a storm/security door installed a handrail for steps leading up to front porch installed new kitchen sink, faucet and garbage disposal hung 2 shelves and a towel rack in bathroom

He did a great job!! My deck and front porch area looks sharp and the trim on the house really pops out with the rest of the house color. I had boards on the back deck that needed replacing and also the wood trim on many of the windows needed replacing as well. He did an expert job! He was very meticulous with his work. If he saw an area that needed to be redone, he did it without my input. He treated his work on my house as if he was working on his own. Barry was very friendly and professional. I was comfortable with him the moment he shook my hand and introduced himself. The bid was by the job and not the hour. This could lend toward doing the work too fast. Not with Barry. He took his time and did everything right! I will hire him again when I need repairs done.
Description of Work: Barry repaired and stained all my outside decks and repaired and painted all my outside trim. He also checked my roof and replaced a few shingles that were missing as well as making sure the siding on the house was ok.

It went great, Barry worked around our schedule and family. He showed up when he said he would, and worked hard to finish the job on time and to our liking. He even did a great job cleaning up after himself. We couldn't be happier with the result and overall experience. Not only would we hire him again, we will hire him again. I've already recommended him to co-workers and friends.
Description of Work: Barry made improvements/repairs to two of our bathrooms. Bathroom #1 had mold issues in the shower (mostly due to lack of ventilation and leaking pipe). Barry ripped it down to the studs, added an exhaust fan, prepared the plumbing, hung cement board, and tiled the shower. Bathroom #2 was outdated and not very user friendly. Barry gutted the sink area, added a door to the shower/toilet room, redid the subfloor, changed the flooring from carpet to hardwood, and converted a single sink vanity into two single sink vanities. This required a lot of plumbing and drywall work.

Barry did a great job. He came out five days earlier and bid the job, then came on a Saturday morning to do the work. From beginning to end, he was a competent, Christian workman. He supplied all the materials required (plywood, luan) and had all his own tools. He finished on time, and well within his estimated amount. I've asked him to comeback and do more work.
Description of Work: When replacing a toilet, I found the subfloor was soft and rotting from leakage around the old toilet seal. I asked Barry to replace the bad subfloor and even it out with the rest of the floor in the bathroom.

It went very well. Barry showed up on time, did thorough work and cleaned up when he was done. He went out of his way to make my job of sanding and painting after him as easy as possible. Lastly, I felt comfortable leaving him alone in my house, not something I would say about most contractors.

Barry was recommended by a friend who was very impressed with his work. He responded right away when I called him. He came to the house and went over everything that needed to be done and gave us a quote. He started the work just when I asked, came promptly every day, always cleaned up at the end of the day, and was professional and pleasant to have around. He told me that he also does dry wall, decks, electrical work, carpentry, and remodeling. I will definately hire him again.
Description of Work: Barry did a great deal of interior painting: 3 rooms, 2 halls, lots of touch-up, several walls, and 4 doors. He did a great job. In many areas his touch-ups were so good that we didn't have to repaint the whole room. He also moved furniture and pictures etc and put everything right back. When I noticed an additional area that needed to be touched up, he did that for me. I then asked he about painting another door, and he did that also.
