Description of Work: I scheduled service with Steve for May 2. On May 1, due to an unforeseen medical issue I contacted him to reschedule. He called me the morning of May 2 and told me it was okay to reschedule and that he would call me to do that once he got in to his office later that day. He did not call. I left voicemail for him twice the next week and twice the week after with no response. I also emailed him through the Angie's List site several times the two weeks after the previously scheduled service date. He never responded to emails. I would like to have the Big Deal purchase price refunded. |

Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for 3 hours of handyman work. Mr. Schaefer showed up on time with an assistant and worked for 1 1/2 hours (to total the 3 hours). He was very pleasant and completed the work I wanted within the time frame. It was well done and he cleaned up afterwards. I would use him again.

Description of Work: I have left several messages for the owner of this company, Steve Schaefer. He will not return my calls. We had an apt scheduled in December, which I had to cancel due to illness. I have not been able to reach him via email or voicemail since. I believe the deal has expired but I called several times before and after it did. They have my money and I still need the work done. I used this company before and thought they did a good job. But this is unacceptable. I will not renew my Angie's list membership if this is not resolved.

Couldn't have been better!
Description of Work: If it wasn't for buying a Big Deal I would never have met and have been able to rely on Steve. Over the past several months, Steve was able to repair, replace and provide advice regarding work that needed to be done on my house. Steve was honest, dependable, fairly priced and great to work with. If there was something that was out of his scope of work, he always had a recommendation or referral. I was even able to rely on him to haul away junk that was left in my house when I moved. Thanks Steve!
