The deck is very solid and looks great. After the first part was built we asked if the stairs could be relocated, and they cheerfully agreed to do that even though it called for another trip to the lumber yard for another upright. They cleaned up very well after themselves, and even kindly hauled an item out to the front for us, for heavy trash pickup! We recommend sunscreen for them--it was a hot day and the shirtless one looked like a lobster at the end of the second day.
Description of Work: Built a deck for above-ground pool.

Called on a Saturday and received a prompt return phone call. They were able to make room for us in their schedule on Monday due to the safety concerns of our door not being able to lock. Monday they were late and we called to make sure they were not lost. It seems as though they had forgotten they were scheduled to come to our house. We gave the situation and our address again and they sent someone over about an hour later. This was okay as we were just happy to get it fixed. The repairs were made quickly and we were kept informed of our choices and what was being done. We were very pleased with the experience and will definitely use them again in the future for other small projects around the house!

I was in the process of selling our house. We did a pre-inspection for the house which uncovered a list of items (major and minor) for our 30+ year home. Home Experts was referred to use by our realtor. Ken came over and went through the inspection. We came to an agreement on which items to fix. He had his crew out within days. Over the next 4-5 weeks Ken's crew fixed all the items we agreed upon including others that I kept adding. Ken would price based on the job/services so we could see individual prices. He would respond via email, call or text. Ken and his guys were very professional. Ken went out if his way many of times for me (services and research). I have continued to use him for my new to me house. His pricing is very reasonable on most services and you can work with him in the others. We ended up selling our house in the first day it went on the market.

Sent Ken an e-mail for a quote on Easter Sunday and he responded within a few hours. Came out a few days later to review my "to do" list with me and sent his quote when he told me he would do so (which seems to be rare these days). He kept me informed of the work schedule and completed the project timely and professionally. I am very pleased with the experience.

They showed up when they were scheduled to do the work and completed it in the time frame they told us. We were satisfied with the quality of work and the way the floor looked once completed. Since this was the first wood flooring we have had installed, Ken was vary helpful in giving us suggestions on the installations. Rather than putting molding down between the where the carpet meets the wood flooring, he suggested having the carpet tucked next to the wood floor therefor eliminating a trip hazard. When I found out I couldn't return the unused boxes of flooring, I was able to schedule them out to install the extra wood in another room at my convenience.
Description of Work: 1. Repaired small section of bad subflooring in kitchen, 2, Installed hardwood flooring in kitchen, entryway, hallway, and laundry room.

Overall,very pleased with work. My bathroom exhaust fan is quieter and now I don't have smug marks all over my cabinets
Description of Work: I purchased a deal for 2hr handyman. He installed a new bathroom exhaust fan in my half-bath and even cleaned up the mess from ceiling. Also, he installed 48 cabinet knobs for my kitchen cabinets. We ran into a snag with not having the right size screws for the drawers. However, the handyman identified the problem early so I could run the the hardware store to get the right length of screws so he could keep working on the others. I am a perfectionist. He measured each cabinet door and adjusted as need. I was very pleased.

We called home experts for them to come out to give us an estimate for a window leak. No one was here at the appointment time so we called and Ken said he was running late. It was disappointing that he didn't call us to let us know he was running late. We scheduled for them to fix our window on April 4th at 9 am. No one showed up and we didn't receive a phone call. We called and left a message with Ken. We didn't hear back for 6 hours. Horrible customer service. Very unprofessional. Will not be using them again.

The experience went pretty well. They were able to get me scheduled with in a day or so of my phone call. The person that did the work completed the list of repairs. He hung the changed out the light fixture but was unable to install the switches because they were double pole switches. That was not unreasonable as he was not an electrician. There was some miscommunication on what I wanted done on my roof so the roof repair I wanted him to complete was not done. That roof repair was the main reason I called. I called the worker and explained that the repair I wanted done was not addressed. They came back out and took care of it at no additional charge which I greatly appreciated. I would use there services again.
Description of Work: Hired this company for a 2 hours of handyman service. Fixed a loose gutter, changed out a light fixture, small roof repair, and fixed a loose faucet in the bathroom.

A neighbor ran into and completed broke our mailbox post down with his car on a snowy day. I contacted Home experts by phone for a estimate for intalling a new mailbox post. The insurance company needed an estimate. Home experts came out in one day and told me the estimated and sceduled the install. They installed the new post and re-attached the mailbox. The post is now in concrete and looks good.

Fully trustworthy and reasonable. Ken and his team did all of the work quick and could not have been better quality. I wish I had found Home Experts long ago. Give Ken a call and have a true professional do a top notch job! If there was an A+ rating I would have given Ken A+ across the board!
Description of Work: We relocated out of town and sold our house. We needed some evaluation, estimates, and repairs as a result of the home inspection due to a question of floor settling. While we were out of town Ken and his crew evaluated and isolated the problem, coordinated a structural engineer analysis including cutting into plaster walls and ceilings to expose structure. Ken and his team exposed the beam, fixed the structure, and replaced the plaster and painted. When they were done you could never tell anything was done. They do unbelievable work. If you don't talk to Ken you are crazy.

Home Experts rep. came to the house on time and did a thorough inspection of the house. Checked under the sinks tub surrounds, in the crawl space and attic. He found 2 small areas of mold. One in the attic and one in the crawl. He explained how they would remediate the mold and left an estimate. In my opinion, the estimate was very high ($6K+), but it would be done the right way. If I had larger areas of mold, I would definitely have them back to do this work. I have chosen to do the work myself to save money.

They did a decent job on these simple tasks. They said they would come back and paint the molding, but I never saw them do it. The storm door wasn't closing on my front door, so they said they would give me an estimate, but the never got back to me on that.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for them to cover the stain on my ceiling and paint over it. They replaced my doorbell button and a flowmaster in my toilet. They replaced the molding on the outside of my house and installed a smoke detector I purchased as well.

Did not start out well. Ken forgot the appt and asked to move appt to later in the day and they were still late. However, when it was determined there was space issues going up the stairs, Ken suggested a good solution. The work was done a few days later (his employee was still late by 45 min and I had to call). The work was done well and the end result was exactly what we hoped for. We appreciated Ken's willingness to devise a workable plan. He only charged for the work completed. He did not charge for the failed attempt (which again was a space issue, not his fault).
Description of Work: Original work was to be moving a large TV armoire one flight up. Due to space limitations, the project turned into sawing in half and moving upstairs in pieces.

Response from Home Experts
Member is correct that I did forget the appointment, they were kind enough to move it to the evening. We did devise a way for the large piece of furniture to be cut in half without any damage. We took the piece upstairs and put it back to the oringinal state. Since we were late we had 7 total hours in it and charged them 140.00 for there compensation instead of 280.00. We really apreciate the kindness the Member's gave us and we look forward to helping them again. Thank you Ken Bennett

We again engaged Home Experts this winter on two projects--winterizing the house and repairing a sump pump outlet. Both projects were started and completed timely, and Ken Bennett continues to provide the personal touch that makes all the difference. We are in very good hands with Home Experts, and we will continue to contact Ken about issues at our house.

At first meeting, Ken (the owner) seemed like a good honest guy. I was very happy when his crew started and seemed to get right on the job. It wasn't long after starting however, that they stopped showing up, leaving work unfinished, etc. In addition, the quality of the work was very poor. Despite being a "general contractor", Ken never showed up to project manage the work. I repeatedly had to call him back to have work finished, or at the very least, re-done. After many attempts at this, especially because his team's lack of finishing the projects, I eventually had to finish much of this myself so I could just get it done. And no, there was never money subtracted from the bill for this. To further prove Ken never inspected or project managed his team's work, he would repeatedly bill us for work that wasn't even done yet. This error, among others, resulted in over-billing, and us overpaying for the work. It took several months and threatening of an attorney to get some of the money back. Ultimately, he did not pay us back as much as was owed, but we gave up after a while. Although very angry with this situation, my goal here isn't necessarily to damage Home Expert's reputation, but really to save trouble, money, time, and heartache for future potential customers. There are plenty of other choices out there. Please save yourself the struggle here and don't choose Home Experts.
Description of Work: Please don't choose this company to work on your project.
