We were very pleased with what they did. They did what they said they were going to do. Since we were so pleased, we are taking bids from them for other work around our home.
Description of Work: They installed weather proofing strip around two sides and the top of two garage doors. His helper repaired our attic stairs, which had been problematic for some time. Also, for free, he attached some siding that had come loose, fixing it for the first time in 10 years.

They are great. I’m very impressed with the company because 2 months ago my footlight was out and they came out and did my footlight for nothing. My son had come along with me to call them. They are very efficient and on time. They are neat and tidy. I can’t say enough good things about them. There’s nothing that I disliked. Their price is excellent and comparable with others. I would definitely use them again in the future if need be.

I had a great experience with Home Experts from beginning to end! Ken called me 30 minutes before he was due to arrive to let me know he was on his way. I met him at my home and he took a look at the projects. He emailed me with a quote that same night. We agreed on a start date and his guy came out promptly on Friday morning. His worker was professional, quick, and worked without me barely noticing he was in the house. Ken's worker was fast and finished two of the three projects in just that one visit. Ken emailed me that same day to follow up and let me know when they would be back out to finish the last of the projects. I have to say, Ken was the most responsive contractor I have ever dealt with. He was always quick to respond to voice messages or emails. His workers were just like him, on time, professional, and very efficient. I was so pleased with their work and would definitely contact Ken for any future projects!
Description of Work: I needed help with three small projects. I had previously hired a contractor to lay down laminate flooring in my spare bedroom. He unfortunately didn't finish the job, so I hired Home Experts to finish laying down the shoe molding/trim in the bedroom as well as transition strips, and finish shoe molding in various places throughout the house. I also needed to have the dry wall in the ceiling repaired in two places as we had water damage and the dry wall had fallen off. Finally, I needed my cable wire re-run to another wall so that it was not cutting through our living room floor.

We have not got the bill yet but I think it will be around $1200. The gentleman was very polite and introduced himself. He told me what he was going to do. It was extremely hot outside and left early on one day which was appropriate. They were very good about communicating via e-mail about when they were coming back to meet my schedule. I have one more project to do which I won’t be doing till fall. I did not have to buy anything and they did that for me. It was very convenient. Everything they did, I think they did it very nicely.

We called for an estimate, and Ken came out within a few days. He measured our space, and made sure he knew exactly what work I wanted done. The whole visit took less than an hour. He sent an estimate by email, and we set up an installation appointment for the following week. The installer was prompt, courteous and very professional. The entire install took about 4 hours, and the only assistance he needed from us was a space to plug in his work light. It was a great experience, and we would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They added insulation to the inside of our attic closet (3 1/2 inch on vertical walls and back of attic door, 6 inch on rafters, and 4 inch on closet ceiling). There was originally nothing there, and the room was always drafty in the winter and sweltering hot in the summer - regardless of heating or a/c use. Now, the room temperature feels more 'even' and our utility bills are lower!

Home Experts is a wonderful company. Ken is the person who came to my house. He sent two workers out to see if they could fix squeaky floors in my kitchen which is laminate. They went into my crawlspace and worked extremely hard to lessen the squeaks without me having to rip up my floors. They actually went above and beyond to diagnose and attempt a fix. Although my floors are better, they could not eliminate all of the squeaky spots. No fault of their own. But because they did not entirely get rid of the squeaks, ken did not charge me a cent for the work that they did do. They hold themselves up to high standards. I have used them before in the past and I have been extremely satisfied with this company.

It didn't. They never contacted me when I tried to make an appointment to go over their estimate.
Description of Work: As with every other handyman service I approached thru Angie's List, these guys didn't follow up with me. They at least offered an estimate on the services but when I tried to set up an appointment, I never heard back. I ended up hiring a guy I know to do the work.

Ken was very professional from start to finish. He's knowledgable, punctual and easy to communicate with. He was responsive over phone and email throughout the process. We had 9 specific small jobs completed following an initial home inspection while selling our home in Broadripple. Unfortunately, the contractor I have used in the past fell through close to the re-inspection date, leaving us with only 2 weeks to have the work performed. Ken was super nice when meeting me at the home on a Friday and walking through what needed to be done. The work began the following Wed (exactly one week from the re-inspection, which was 2 days prior to the scheduled closing). I stopped by the house on a couple occasions and met Ken's workers. They were nice and seemed to be doing the work according to plan. Several parts of the job were in the crawl space, which meant it was difficult for me to "check" the work. I asked Ken's worker if the open splices in the crawl were fixed, the radon perforated pipe was installed under the visqueen, and the mold was appropriately cleaned and sealed. I was told that the work was done properly. I was also concerned with the damage that was done to the master bath ceiling when installing the new ventless exhaust fan. Even at the end of the job, you could clearly see where the ceiling was cut out (looking worse than before, in my opinion). Following the re-inspection, I learned that the open splices in the crawl were not repaired, there was still active mold, there were questions from the inspector about the quality of the mold cleaning process, and the radon pipe was not installed under the visqueen barrier. We were clearly not happy with the work at this point. To Ken's credit, he very quickly addressed the re-inspection report and addressed ALL of these issues that very evening and the following day. However, the process was stressful, required conversations between Ken and the realtors (which again went very well) and the work was completed in time for closing, although not in time for a re-inspection. After getting Ken's quote for the work, I was a little shocked at the high costs for such minor repairs (I chose not to have some completed and did them myself). However, I rationalized the high prices since we were on a short timeline and needed high quality work done. Given the cost, I assumed the work would be done right the first time. In the end, the work did get completed and we had a successful closing. However, the experience was not ideal.
Description of Work: 1 remove 20 amp breaker and install 15 amp breaker 2 remove the mold in the crawlspace that is active at the time work is being done, and let dry and seal with Kilz 3 remove the loose grout in shower at glass block, seat, floor, and sill as you step out, install grout and install clear silicone over edges 4 fix splice junction boxes in crawlspace one under kitchen, one in garage, rear light 5 haul away brush in yard 6 install perforated pipe under visqueen 7 remove vent in master bath and install ventless that meets existing building codes 8 connect vent in hall bath to vent in roof 9 rehang gutter on garage to drain properly

Response from Home Experts
We want to thank the member for his comments. By experiencing different home owners we can build a better company to meet the expectations of all our customers. We respect the member's comments, we feel our pricing is very competitive in our field. Before starting the job the member asked me to lower my price on the mold remediation. From the inspection report I understood that we needed to treat the entire crawlspace and he only wanted to treat the area by the shower and a few spots surrounding it. We cleaned those areas and upon reinspection they wanted the entire crawlspace done as I originally advised. The member contacted me flying the west coast and I told him I would do the entire crawlspace to meet the expectations to get his closing done on time at no extra cost. I met the new homeowners there Thursday morning to go over the items, 1 of the items was what the member had done and I repaired that at no cost to him since he was out on the west coast. I continued contact with the future homeowners and met with them and reinspected to meet there expectations. I did not charge the member for meeting with the homeowner twice or for the extra work, due to the member's circumstances. We wish the very best for the member and his new family and new home. Thank you, Ken Bennett

I called HomeExperts on Tuesday due to their excellent review on Angie's List. Ken answered the phone and was able to come out to give me an estimate on Wednesday. He scheduled the work for Thursday but was unable to come out due to the weather. They then came out on Friday and completed the jobs. Everything looks good.!
Description of Work: HomeExperts reattached a piece of aluminum siding that had come off of our home and tightened another piece that was coming loose. I also had them do some caulking in our entry way as due to resettling,there was a gap in the seams.

I called Mr. Bennett a few weeks before I needed the attic floored for extra storage. He agreed to come out and quote me a price for the decking and 2x4s as well as the purchase and installation of a new metal attic staircase. I asked for the 2x4s because we have original-to-the-house wiring that was pulled tightly over the joists, and I wanted to be able to easily remove/replace/add wiring without having to pull up the decking. That probably increased the costs right off the bat. Mr. Bennett agreed with my request, although he said he could do the decking without the extra 2x4s. Because of the price of the staircase purchase/installation as well as other work we needed done, I declined to have Home Experts install the staircase at this time. His two workers showed up promptly at the agreed upon starting time to install the 2x4s and decking and were there for just over two hours. They did a very good job considering that all the 4'x8' sheets of decking had to be cut prior to pulling them into the attic space.
Description of Work: Install 2x4s and OSB decking in the garage attic space.

We're pleased with the work that was done. We highly recommend Home Experts for handyman services and minor home repairs.
Description of Work: We hired Home Experts for some minor electrical repairs, minor roof repair, and some extensive repairs to the floor joists in our crawl space. While the job was not inexpensive, Home Experts completed everything as promised and the crew members were very professional. The crawlspace work was extensive... some of the sill plates and numerous floor joists ends were almost completely decayed; the workers did a very thorough job and the end shows craftsmanship and attention to detail. To ensure we had peace of mind, Ken Bennett (the owner of Home Experts) wrote us a letter testifying to his repair work and pledging a three-year warranty on all of the work performed. Overall, we're very happy with the work that was done and we would happily recommend Home Experts to anyone else looking for similar work.
