Rick responded to my request for his services the same day that I called. He listened to what I needed done and stated that he would stop by the next evening. He arrived, as promised, and was on time. He was professional in his manner, and after looking at the jobs and giving me a quote, he gave me a date that he could start.. Relocating the kitchen chandelier required climbing up and squeezing through a very small opening to get into a dark attic that has only enough space for you to crawl and inch over to the work space. Over the years, I have had others to go up and do work for me, and they all came down and complained. Rick went up, did the job and did not mention the difficulties. He and his brother, who helped him, were always prompt, pleasant, comfortable to be around and I am more than happy with the job that they did.
Description of Work: Electrical work to relocate a ceiling chandelier, re-routing plumbing in kitchen sink , filter and O ring change in water softener, shower head change in bathroom, ceiling repair

Horrible, wouldn't provide contract or proof of insurance. He ordered doors for me said could get deal. Brought wrong size doors out 1st day. He took back and placed order again. Brought totally incorrect type of door 2nd visit. Third visit still no doors and very little work done, used my supplies and tools. During this visit, property damage from using my tools. Left nails and screws on floor, my dog cut paw. Nearly a month had passed during all this, said would take 4-5 days. Only worked 11.5 hours total and horribly completed maybe 40% of job. Told him could not take any more time from work and didn't need service any longer. Wanted 80% of pay, advised not fair price. He said everything done except installing doors. I had ordered my own doors and paid for them online when realized he wasn't capable. He went to store and picked them up without permission. Then threaten to keep doors until I paid and put lien on my house. I originally told him when he came out going through divorce and getting ready to sell. He bullied me until I paid. I am still in home and all work he did has to be redone by a real professional. The pics I attached are just a small portion of mess. Trim work was not being installed for carpet, he just didn't measure anything correctly and therefore large gaps between pieces and even the floor. No threshold installed. All doors now have gaps, floor is still a mess, but in his mind he did a great job and finished 98% of work. Stay clear of this guy, he is bad news or get iron clad contract.
Description of Work: New patio doors, trim and drywall, floor and ceiling repair, vinyl siding repair, caulking windows, repairing front door, and few other minor things

Response from Rick's Lawn & Handyman LLC
I have been in the handyman business for over 17 years and take great pride in my work and in customer satisfaction. I treat my customers as I would want to be treated and perform the work as I would want done. I am fully insured and always provide proof of insurance when requested by the customer. I am sorry that Ms. [Member Name Removed] is struggling in her personal life, but attacking me and my work is not going to fix that. Below is a timeline of my dealings with Ms. [Member Name Removed]. I have text messages and receipts confirming the same. Ms. [Member Name Removed]'s constant harassment is also being documented for future legal action if necessary. This customer contacted me the first of October 2017. I met her at her residence to see what work she was needing. She stated in our first visit that her future ex-husband would be paying for it, so she would need a quote. October 7th - I emailed the below quote to her and she responded on October 9th by text that her husband approved. I ordered the doors we discussed from Menards in Jeffersonville, Indiana. October 20th - She received confirmation that the doors were in and stated she would need to clear her schedule for me to start working. I was unable to pick up the doors until she gave Menards the okay, which she texted me on October 23th at 8:04 p.m. that "everything ok now on order, you can pick up." I responded at 8:10 p.m. that I would pick them up in the morning and be out to her house. October 24th - I, along with my 2 helpers, picked up the doors from Menards and went to her house, arriving before 9 a.m. We proceeded to do the work described in the email below. Before installing the doors, I measured them only to find out they were not the size listed on the order. I explained this to the customer. She was very happy with the work completed the first day and offered to pay that day, but I said she could wait and pay upon completion. I texted her at 7:52 p.m. that night that I had returned the doors to Menards and ordered new ones. November 1st - She texted me at 12:42 p.m. that the doors would be in that day or the next. I asked if she could be off Tues and Weds of the next week and she said she'd check and asked if I would be finished Weds, I stated yes I would. She texted 3 days later saying she would be home and I responded I would pick up the doors and be there Tues morning. November 7th - I arrived at her house before 9 a.m. and completed the work I could for that day. Later that evening, she texted me that the new doors were only half glass, not the full glass. Note that when I returned the first set of doors to Menards, I told them we wanted the same doors, but needed to make sure they were the correct size. Mendards placed that order, not me. November 8th - She texted me that she had ordered new doors yesterday and Menards would cancel the current order when I returned the doors. She found new doors online at Menards that she liked better than the ones previously picked out, so she ordered them. I arrived at her house by 1 p.m. on Nov 8th to get the vinyl off the front of house. I returned the doors back to Menards on Nov 9th. December 10th - She texted me that someone was out on medical leave at work so she was working a lot. She would need to terminate services and asked for a fair price. I responded by text that I understood and it would be $1,275 for material and labor. December 16th - She texted that she thinks $800 is fair, and that the doors were $832 and since I picked them up, we were even. I explained by sending this text at 9:51 p.m. "That 11.5 hours was 3 different men working, and does not include 3 trips to Menards. I have $265 in materials (utility door, moldings, vinyl and drywall). Other than installing the 2 patio doors, I completed everything else we discussed. I don't need the 2 doors, but picked up them when they called me assuming I would install as agreed. You're the one that terminated services. The agreed price was $2,250 plus $500 for materials. The amount you owe is $1,275. Once I have received your payment in full, I will bring you the doors. I don't need the doors. The agreement was payment for services, not doors for services." After threats of police, I simply stated that I had all the emails and text messages and we would settle this in court. December 21st - After several nasty text messages from her, with no response from me, she texted me at 12:11 p.m. stating she did not want drama and wanted to know if we could settle on a fair price. I asked that she give me a call to discuss it. December 29th - She texted back that she thinks $800 is fair with other nasty comments and threats. I simply responded with this text: "The first set of doors were marked as the right size, but they were 2" wider and an inch taller with full view. That's not my fault. I took them back, Menards apologized and said they'd give us the right size. Then they came back the right size but half view. That's not my fault, Menards made that mistake. I can understand you being upset about the doors, but I didn't like it either. It was out of my control, but I still had to take time and effort to return and deal with Menards on your behalf. Then I had a third trip to Menards because they kept calling me telling me the doors needed to be picked up. The agreed price was $2,250 plus $500 materials. I did almost all the work that we agreed to except the doors, which was out of my control. $800 is not a fair price for the work I completed and I do not want or need these doors, so thinking you're going to "give" them to me for payment is not going to work. It will cost me $120 to file a law suit and I will ask that you be responsible for all legal fees when I file." She stated that she had an attorney and would be suing me. I simply did not respond to her. January 2nd - At 6:47 p.m., she texted "I discussed this with my husband since it involves him, he said you did good work on outside and $1,000 is fair. We want this done and over." I responded that I would settle for $1,000, she could mail a check to me and I would return the doors to her once her check cleared. She texted that she did not want the doors, do not bring them to her. January 10th - She again texted about suing and getting police involved and stated that "things are getting serious". I simply responded that I had talked to Menards and she should do what she thinks she needs to do. I was diagnosed with the flu on January 8th after being sick all weekend. I wasn't able to return the doors until January 18th (which I had my brother do as I was still sick with the flu that had gone into double pneumonia). Ms. [Member Name Removed] mailed a $1,000 check to me for services, which is the price we settled on to resolve this. The check was dated for January 2, 2018, but the envelope is postmarked January 12, 2018. I have copies of the check and the original envelope. I have all the text messages and emails that have been exchanged. I understand it took longer than expected, but as you can see from my timeline, that is primarily due to Menards getting the doors in, and the doors not being correct, none of which was my fault. I have several customers that would recommend me and would confirm my professionalism, timely and satisfactory work. Of everything listed on the email below, the only things not completed were replacing of the French doors, repairing the hole by the French door and I did not texture the ceiling in the weight room. "email sent Oct 7th at 12:33 p.m. This is what we have written down. Before we do the work, I'll draw up a contract detailing everything. Replace upstairs and downstairs french doors, Repair hole in floor by french door, Repair hole in garage ceiling and install door molding, Install door molding in dog room, Repair wall in weight room above door, Repair wall on inside and outside of front of house, Install 32" door with jam for closet, Repair vinyl siding, Repair facial front of house, Repair front door and drywall, Repair drywall around window seal, Repair ceiling in weight room, Clean out gutters, Repair screens as needed (11 total). All drywall work will be finished and ready for customer to paint. That's what I have in my notes. It'll be $2,250 for labor and $1,800 materials. Menards has the French doors for $599 each plus tax and $100 for the 32" closet door. If you decide you'd like me to do the work, I can go to Menards this weekend and pick out the doors and then you'll need to go there to pay for them. It usually takes about a week to get the French doors in. When they're in, I'll picked them up." Rick's Lawn & Handyman, LLC

Response from Rick's Lawn & Handyman LLC
Rick's Lawn & Handyman was a father/son partnership until Aug 1, 2016. The partnership dissolved and father/son went their separate ways. Rick Hubert is now the sole owner of Rick's Lawn & Handyman, but was not the one that performed this job. Any work that is done by Rick Hook should not be a reflection on Rick's Lawn & Handyman. Rick Hubert takes pride in his work and in keeping his customers happy. This review is not a reflection on Rick Hubert or Rick's Lawn & Handyman, but on the former partner.

Rick can do just about anything that needs done and is quite professional and conscientious about his projects, doing them in the best possible way. I have been more than pleased with his work and feel that he not only does great work, promptly and efficiently, but is very reasonable in his prices. From yard and flower beds to putting in electrical fixtures, painting and carpentry work, or just helping out with smaller jobs, he has been of invaluable help to me . And in addition to his good work, he just seems to be a really nice and considerate person. I am lucky to have found him.
Description of Work: Rick put in quarter round molding and thresholds on new flooring. He also removed window hardware from all windows in the house. A month ago he painted several rooms, installed electric fixtures, and numerous other jobs. I rely upon him for much of my redecorating and he has never disappointed me.

Rick and his workman came at the assigned time. All work requested was done as requested, promptly and efficiently. The charge was reasonable, considering it was almost 4 hours of work. The yard was left in very good order. Prior to the work, maintenance had not been done for some time, so it was in pretty bad shape. Because of the quality of Rick's work, I have hired him to do regular mowing and lawn work. I have been impressed with his professionalism and integrity and have also engaged him to do other handyman work, such as fence building.
Description of Work: Yard cutting and clean up. Lots of debris, downed limbs, etc. Also, removal of firewood and weed removal. Install security light bulbs. Clean roof gutters and roof.
