Description of Work: Called for a request to do a bath remodel. Initial response was excellent and prompt - on time, etc. They sent a f/u requesting dates I was available again and I replied. I replied again a couple of weeks later. Never heard from them again. This is unfortunate b/c I was impressed w/ the initial response and was hopeful they would be a good fit for our project.

Response from Fairchild Property Services
We are disappointed this potential client perceived our efforts as outlined. We did meet with the client and followed up with her several times. Additionally, in our initial conversation with her we explained the desired product for the wall system of the bathroom (a metal, fabricated panel from the 1940s and 1950s that is scarce) was a product outside of our area of expertise. We appreciate the feedback and will be even more direct in the future.

After I discussed the project with the owner, I had to wait to fit it into some other work which I had to do before I would be ready to have them do it. Along the way, I made some changes to what had been previously discussed and the necessary adjustments were made prior to their purchasing the materials. They had forecasted that it may take all of one day plus part of the next day. However, the entire job was completed on the single day. They did an outstanding job, working around stuff I had stacked in the center of the basement floor. Before leaving, they cleaned up all mess and asked me if I'd like for them to vacuum before they left. They had done such a great job cleaning up that vacuuming wasn't necessary. They returned all materials which were not needed and I received an adjustment on my invoice. I should say that they purchased all of the materials which I had specified for them to get. The crew was lead by Matt Benson. He had two other men on his crew. This company was recommended to my by my carpet sales guy as the best one for the job. I completely agree with that assessment. His price was fair; the job was completed when they told me it would be, even earlier; And, most amazing, the clean up of materials was immaculate and all unused materials were returned to where they were purchased so I received a credit on my final invoice. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Replaced all paneling in my basement and trimmed it all around. Installed approx 300 Square feet of paneling; Installed approx 42 linear feet of cove molding under the grid for the dropped ceiling; Installed approx 42 linear feet of base. Purchased the materials and returned all materials which they didn't need. They also fixed areas of the previously installed drop ceiling, replacing blocks which I had damaged when I removed the old paneling and ceiling tiles around the perimeter of the basement. They also built out a wall and paneled that area.

It was pleasure to work with this client. We did not know he was an Angie's List Client, as we were referred by our flooring partner. When we met the client, we learned of his ultimate goal to sell the property and provided some direction on support on some of the repairs. We are appreciative of feedback!

We contacted Marc for a quote and it was competitive with the others we received. It was during the summer and he was quite busy, but was able to move our work up sooner than expected. Work was all completed to our satisfaction and within the time specified.

Professional from first contact to completion of work. The owner provided a detailed estimate after examining the issues and taking photographs. They had to work around a rainy stretch of weather, but they communicated with me about when the work would be completed. They showed up on time, were professional in their work, showed me what they had done, and answered any questions I had. Because we had more than one type of work to be completed, we were happy to have one company take care of these issues. A great experience!

Fantastic experience. Marc Fairchild was highly recommended by someone I trust, and I couldn't be happier with everything, from beginning to end. Calls were returned promptly, the workers arrived on time and were outstanding craftsmen, and the quoted price was fair. There is nothing that Fairchild could have done to make this a more positive experience, and I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

Great experience with this client. We were referred through Angie's List and a partner who was addressing another issue. The scope of this project included restoration work after some water damage, insulation, drywall, carpentry, finishing painting, etc. We also worked with the client on recommendations to avoid the original issue that caused the water intrusion. The client performed that work, but we were happy to offer our advice and procured the materials for his part of the project. Great client!

Fairchild specializes in helping homeowners repair issues that come up during a home inspection. We had Fairchild Property Services investigate a roof leak in our garage that was causing biological growth on our garage ceiling. We also had them look at a broken circuit breaker. Mr. Fairchild came out the same day we called to look at the problems that we received from the home inspection report. He also had us e-mail him the report. As anyone knows, time is of the essence when going through the home selling process, especially when dealing with inspection report and the deadlines to respond to them. We received a quote for the work needed within a day or two and scheduled the work for the following week. Workers arrived a bit late on the day of service, but nothing to inconvenience us. Pictures were taken to document the work completed and a detailed invoice was given to us. This was great since the realtor and buyer needed to see that we indeed had the problems fixed. The work itself looked great and they cleaned up after they were done. Unfortunately, after the first big rain, we had a small leak reappear. To their credit, they came back out a day or so later to re-check and look at some additional areas on our roof. A small repair was made which has completely fixed the problem. I would recommend Fairchild Property Services to anyone that needs fast home repair that covers a variety of specialties (drywall, electrical, etc). They were a great one-stop shop for a busy home seller!

Response from Fairchild Property Services
It was a pleasure to help the Stults Family with the sale of the home as they move to their new home. Fairchild Property Services completes roughly 200 of these such projects every year for clients who are buying or selling their homes and have done more than a 1,000 since we have been in the business. While are a fully licensed General Contractor and have a broad array of services we provide, we are uniquely apt at in providing what is needed to help our clients conclude the sale or purchase of their home. We have never been the cause of delaying a client's closing. These transactions (Inspection Repair) have a very tight window of time to investigate, estimate, and complete the repairs. In this particular project, while small had 4 different areas: water remediation/suspect biological growth, roof repairs, drywall removal and replacement, and electrical. Our client had one contact and the work was done timely, a minor additional leak discovered and resolved as quickly as possible.

We appreciate the positive feedback on quality, value, and service! This was a small, yet important repair (plumbing roof boot replacement). The existing boot was leaking and if left unattended could result in damage to decking, insulation, drywall, etc. Whenever possible, we escalate repairs of this nature to help our clients avoid further damage. We believe projects such as this demonstrate our commitment to our clients and is a great opportunity on a small scale to introduce Fairchild PS.

They did a big job and they were here for more than a week. They were very thorough. There usually was a team of them working. They did a great job. They are going to come back again in April to check to make sure that everything is still as it should be. We are satisfied with their quality of service so far. Other places that we called weren’t even available; they were too booked up and couldn’t even get to it. We really needed to have it done. I suppose that the price was reasonable. But we couldn’t compare it to other places.
Description of Work: Fairchild Property Services did exterior painting. They replaced a lot of rotting wood. They replaced the rotting wood with cedar.

{removed member name}was great to work with. We replaced several areas of trim and rebuild part of his fireplace chase, as well as installed new metal chase cover. The chase rot was behind the trim and was discovered once we removed board and siding. We walk {removed member name}through what we discovered and fixed what was wrong and what was causing the issue. We are going back in April, date is already on the calendar, to check everything after the the winter--something we do to assure top quality. We are grateful for the opportunity {removed member name}provided us and appreciate his positive feedback.

We provided targeted siding and exterior trim components for this client's personal residence. Client's original scope of work was larger than what was necessary to accomplish his objectives with his project. We talked through different approaches and his long/short-term objectives and agreed upon a scope of work that was under his budget and achieved the outcome he sought.

Marc is very responsive when I call him, he gets back to me right away When he comes to the house he goes right to work. He has done a fantastic job on all the projects he has done for me over the past year. Some of the projects are, painting on the interior and exterior, putting up shelves, installing light fixtures, taking down ceiling fan, taking a glass shower door. I highly recommend this company!!

Long-term client with multiple projects completed since she acquired the property 1.5 years ago, including interior and exterior painting, multiple small projects, lights, etc. This is client is budget conscious and we work together with well in scheduling and combining her projects to provide her the most value for her budget--a "win"/"win" for both us. We have also helped the client in liaising with other service providers to address concerns and have provided her an assessment of the major components of the home (roof, furnace, etc.,) and worked with her on maintenance and service that will extend their functional life.

Description of Work: We had a woodpecker put a hole in our wood siding. Marc came over several days after I contacted him, but the hole was too high up for his ladder to reach. His partner called and said he would be over in a couple of days with a taller ladder. We didn't heard another thing from them until after I called to complain and left a voice mail message. Meanwhile, our attic has a hole through the siding for animals and weather to come in. |I texted Marc and got no response. It's been approximately two weeks since I initially contacted Marc about the job. We finally contacted another contractor to do the work (not from Angie's List).

Response from Fairchild Property Services
We strive to exceed customer expectations and we were unsuccessful in this situation. When we were contacted, I explained we were committed to several projects and other customer and may not be able to do any repairs for a 2-3 week period. I personally inspected the property within one business day of receiving the phone call and had hoped it would be a project we could do with a limited amount of resources. After inspecting the home, there were was a greater scope of damage that he understood and required additional resources we did not have available. However, I did provide him photos from my inspection and identified other areas that were damaged of which he was unaware. Additionally, I explained that wood pecker damage was the result of insect activity and provided him a local, reliable, competent and reasonable exterminator who could address the cause of his concerns. I explained that until the insects attracting the wood peckers were removed, any repairs would be short lived in that the wood peckers would continue their damage (in pursuit of their food source). We always to try to help and in this instance, we inspected the property, provided the results of our inspection, and referred the customer to an exterminator to address the cause of the wood pecker activity, and committed to getting an estimate to him when our scheduled allowed it. None of that activity was charged. We simply could not respond as quick as the the prospective customer desired. An honest effort was made to help.

We were introduced to this client through our work Real Estate contacts. The client's Realtor, is a client of Fairchild PS, and we have done several projects on his investment properties. When the client moved into the home we reviewed the Inspection Report and helped them prioritize their projects to identify what functional repairs should be done and work with them on budgets and schedules for the updates they desired in their new home. As often happens, we started with a list of the functional items from the Inspection and before we were finished, we painted the entire interior, the garage floor, repaired drywall, installed new lighting, etc., We have done at least 4 different projects for this clients since meeting them.

I called Marc on a Sunday morning after returning from an out of town trip and discovering that my finished basement was flooded. Marc came over to my house that day and set up large drying fans throughout my basement. He fixed a problem with my sump pump and took moisture readings of the walls. He broke the bad news to me that I probably needed a mold inspection. He then called a mold remediation company and they returned the next day. Marc was present at my house to explain the problem to the mold expert. I can't speak highly enough about this company.

We have done several projects for this client and she has told me that I am her first point of contact, she said that she knows if we can help her directly we can help her find a competent, reliable, and reasonable service provider that will be able to take care of her and she knows I will oversee them until everything is taken care of. I met this client when she was selling her home and completed the repairs she committed to during that process. When she moved into her new home she called me to help her with some urgent issues on some appliances which I did on a Saturday and Sunday. Since then we have done several projects in her home from painting, lighting, door installation, etc. I have provided her help with plumbing, garage doors, etc. The greatest compliment was from her father, who does not live in the area, that he was grateful I was there to help his daughter and it gave him peace to know she has someone she could count on.

What a great family to work with and for. We worked on the home they sold and while doing so met their parents. Since then, we have worked at their new home and have done considerable work for their parents at their home and at their commercial office. This past Christmas I received a card from the family and am very proud of that. Whether it is a narrow project that is typically involved with an Inspection or the multiple repairs and updates we did at the parent's home, we desire to earn the trust and confidence of our clients.

I contacted Marc and told him what I wanted about a week in advance. He sent me a text the night before confirming the paint and trim colors. Marc and another worker showed up right on time. I was concerned about paint getting on my bathroom tile but there was no reason for concern as the first thing that they did was to cover the rest of the bathroom in plastic. They did a meticulous job on the interior painting. On the exterior project, I was afraid that I'd find out that a lot of the soffit had to be replaced due to wood rot. However Marc, carefully inspected all of the exterior wood and told me that the wood, itself, was in good shape-it would however need to be sanded and repainted. Because that will require a lot of work, Marc suggested that he just caulk the exterior trim at this point and come back in the spring to do more a more extensive job. I appreciated his sensitivity to my budget concerns. I also had him install a couple of exterior lights.
Description of Work: They painted a bathroom as well as the trim as well as sanded the walls prior to painting. Additionally, they inspected the exterior soffit around my exterior roof and caulked the soffit area and exterior windows.
