It went great. Marc was very knowledgeable and made suggestions based on his experience and expertise that were better than what we initially asked for. Our home was built in 1901 so there were many challenges. Our laundry list of projects was long and grew longer while he was there. He was patient and thorough and although the cost of the job increased, he involved us in the decision making the entire way through so there were no surprises that he did not ask about first for prior authorization. I have used Hoosier Handyman since and will continue to do so as things arise...and they always do with home ownership, especially with an Indianapolis Butler/Tarkington house over 100 years old.
Description of Work: We had a laundry list of handy man projects. Marc Devine came out and gave us a quote which was more than fair. The immediate need was frozen outdoor pipes (this was a t the height of the horrible Polar Vortex we experienced this past winter. .

Marc is great. Very personable, very reliable. He can see the problem and immediately knows the course of correction, and creates a plan to fix it. When he says says he will be at your home, he will/is, or gives you plenty of heads up. His plan works, and he keeps to his estimate.
Description of Work: simple projects around the home... changing out plumbing, some carpentry work, some small electrical work.

This is my third time using Marc (Hoosier Handyman) to work on problems in my home. I bought my home 3 years ago. My home was built in 1984, and I feel like there is always something going wrong with my home. This time there were problems with two of my toilets. The toilet in my guest bathroom was leaking down to the ceiling on the first floor, the toilet in my powder room, downstairs was causing my laminate bamboo flooring to buckle, warp, and mold. The shower door in my master bathroom was not locking and causing water to get on my floor. Marc Verified that the toilet in my guest bathroom was the cause of the leaking on the downstairs ceiling, and he reset the toilet and placed a new wax ring on the toilet. He did the same thing in the powder room. He also took time to find laminate bamboo flooring that matched and put down the new flooring. He was efficient, did a great job, and charged me a reasonable amount for all of the work that needed to be done. He got all of the work done in one day, and didn't leave any of the work unfinished. The flooring looks great, and the toilets have worked properly with no more leaking. Marc texts me pictures of the work as he is doing it, so I know what was done. Having Marc (Hoosier Handyman) to help with all of my home repair needs, makes my life a lot easier!
Description of Work: Marc (Hoosier Handyman) fixed all of my toilets that were not installed properly. He put new wax rings on, and installed them so that they would not leak any more. Fixed the flooring in my powder room, because of the leaking toilet. Fixed my shower door in my master bathroom.

I was very impressed with him. He came and reviewed the problem and he realized that he really didn't have to do anything. It was just not set up correctly. He fixed the issue and didn't even charge me. He was very prompt and reliable. This is unheard of.

Marc did a great job. We have an old dark basement that needed some additional light. Marc purchased and installed three new light fixtures in the area, wiring them to an existing switch. All around a great job-- not sure why we didn't put more lights down there years ago!

Badly, no response from the company. No one showed up for the job.
Description of Work: I have used this company in the past, and the work was excellent. However, I had an appointment on 02/02/12 at 8:15 am. to have some household repairs done. The workman did not show, nor did I receive a call to cancel. I left two messages, and as of the date of this report, I have not received a return call.
When I bought my house 2 years ago there were three huge solar panels on my roof. As the next two years went by I had water leaking into all three upstairs bedrooms. I finally decided to remove the solar panels and have a new roof placed on the back side of the house where the solar panels were located. I also wanted the interior work fixed as well so I no longer would have any water spots on my ceiling. Unfortunately, I decided to do this work in November. I asked Marc (Hoosier Handyman) to give me an estimate, and he gave me the best estimate of all the companies I had come and look at what needed to be done. Since the weather was up and down for the next few months he wasn't able to find consecutive nice days to get the work done. Thankfully, in the beginning of January the skies cleared for 4 days, just long enough for Marc to get the work done, and me to have a new roof! He was very professional throughout the entire process, and sent me an accurate estimate originally in November. He also texted me pictures updating me on the work he was doing. He was very kind and even let my dog outside and played catch with her when I wasn't home one of the days. He replaced the broken handle on my front door free of charge without me asking, and when the roofers didn't charge him as much as he thought he took money off of my original estimate. It is so comforting and nice to work with someone who is honest and a good person. I will definitely be using Marc for all future projects in my house!
Description of Work: Fixed my roof and fixed the interior ceilings where the water spots were from having a leaky roof.

The job is undone. We have two plywood windows.
Description of Work: I chose Hoosier Handyman, Marc Devine, because of good reviews on Angie's list. We had a rotting window sill and window frame problem. Step one was the downstairs, three windows in one frame. Marc did a good job, but he had our windows and frames out of the house and in his shop over the entire winter. Many e-mails and phone calls were exchanged, and promises to work on the job, largely paid in advance, passed. Finally, after a winter and some months into the spring, the downstairs windows were complete. As I was painting the entire house, I found similar damage on three upstairs windows. Marc asked to do the job to prove that he could be more timely. On July 13, he removed two of the upstairs windows and replaced them with plywood. He asked for $300. For materials and I wrote him a check for that amount. Despite unreturned phone calls and e-mails, we have not heard from him since. Marc is is very nice guy, and I believe that he means well. But for reasons I don't know, he is NOT timely and he seems to have abandoned this job mid-stream leaving us with two unsightly plywood windows on the front of our house. I am very disappointed.

Couldn't have gone better. From consultation to performing the work - outstanding communication, unparalleled knowledge and ability to spot issues, extremely efficient - and his price and value were unbeatable. On his consultation, he even went out of his way and identified some other issues we need to keep our eye on. We live in an older home that restored, so that unsolicited advice was greatly appreciated. Hire him, you will not regret it.
Description of Work: Marc installed new vents in our laundry room and repaired an outer-wall in our guest bedroom. We had the old vents removed b/c of asbestos concerns and he quickly got that work done...it was a cold day so I appreciated his efficient work so we could fire up the furnace! His work was outstanding and priced well below other quotes. We had a wall that was not properly holding heat and displayed moisture, and I had a few guys come out to try to identify the problem (water leaking from roof, improper insulation, etc) - Marc was able to make a quick diagnosis and proved knowledgeable on all possibly problems and solutions. Other consults were puzzled and either didn't feel comfortable dealing with the issue, or suggested we rebuild the entire wall - the quotes were outrageously high. Needless to say, Marc spotted the several different potential problems, opened up a portion of the wall to diagnose the problem, and fixed the problem without needless other work that was deemed unnecessary.

I e-mailed him after a week and asked if he had an estimate. A month later he e-mailed me and said he had been on "Spring Break for 3 weeks." I replied I would still accept an estimate. Still haven't heard from him.

At the beginning of 2010, I decided to update my kitchen and make it more functional. I needed a contractor to install additional cabinets to match existing ones, crown molding, countertops, sink, faucet, dishwasher, over-the-stove microwave and shelving brackets, all of which I selected and would be purchasing. Of the contractors I interviewed, Marc Devine of Hoosier Handyman impressed me the most. He arrived on time, was polite, and wore shoe protectors to not track snow in my home. His bid was competitive and once we started the project, he made suggestions that enhanced the project. A creative fix was to use a "L" base cabinet that I wanted removed and resize into a smaller cabinet to install in another location. Leftover material was used to close the gap between my stove and base cabinets, which you wouldn't notice unless I pointed it out. I like that he takes a green approach and doesn't waste materials. The electrician he brought in for the dishwasher and microwave installation also impressed me. The appliances arrived on the day the project began, everything went like clockwork, and the project was done in a few days. I do my own painting, and Marc made the drywall smooth and ready to prime. His attention to detail and neatness also played a part in this positive experience. I plan to use Hoosier Handyman for future projects and highly recommend this company.
