Response from St.John Custom Homes
When I arrived at the address and knocked on the door, my father and I were shockingly met there with a very loud voice saying who in the heck is knocking at the door. I introduced myself, and he said oh (name removed) said you were coming. I looked at this job on a Thursday to give a free no charge no fuel service charge estimate and placed it on my estimating list in order of first come first serve and said I will get back with you just to soon as I get materials and labor estimate up. I did not work over the weekend as that is my family time, and contacted and spoke to her roommate by phone at the first of the week, as I figured it would be the quickest relay of information since she is slow to reply by email. She called me back with an incorrect message from her roommate thinking the estimate was just over $200. I explained to her I didn't have my estimate book with me ( it was late and after hours when I received her phone call after dinner). I explained to her what I thought a rough idea of what the estimate was. In my opinion, she seemed shocked of what the estimate was, as it must have been more than she was able or willing to spend for the necessary work that we needed to do for a correct and proper installation. The door did not fit the opening and additional material and fabrication is necessary to make a proper installation, bringing the labor and materials charge above any normal door installation fee. She asked me to email the estimate to her when I have the chance. Unfortunately when people buy materials in advance, before getting a professional opinion and estimate first, they do not understand the expense and or additional fabrication necessary in order to do a proper installation, and expect the labor to be only as much as a basic door costs which is just not true on an older home with plaster walls alone. We are very sorry we couldn't satisfy her with a free estimate and sorry that she is upset that the price is more than she expected. I would truly hope someone cannot deface someone's good business name and reputation over those type of circumstances on Angie's list. Thank you, Kevin

Kevin and his employees were delightful to work with. Gave us good advice and did quality work. Stuck to their price even when the tear-down discovered the need for more work than expected. Not the cheapest in town, but worth it.
Description of Work: Remodel bathroom and closet.

Here is our progression ... I was given the name of Kevin St. John as a recommendation on a Tuesday evening. I called The House Doctor and was able to speak to Kevin; no answering system that never gets answered. We talked and I was satisfied enough with his plan to ask him to come to view and give an estimate. He did this on Thursday evening of the same week. I liked his plan and his estimate, and we agreed that he and his helper would come Friday morning for the repairs. They came Friday morning and finished the repairs that afternoon. They had to raise the house slightly to install the sill plate so the front door was raised and tight. No problem. Kevin and his helper adjusted the door. No hurry up and leaving things half done. The doorway looked and worked great. I was at work when the work was done. I spoke with Kevin when things were finished. He told me what he did and agreed to give me a detailed account of his work so I could show any potential buyer. He gave me a very detailed report. I told him that I wanted to inspect the work before I met with him to pay him. No problem. I came home from work, crawled under the house, inspected the front doorway and was impressed. Paid the man for his excellent work. All the work looks great and professionally done. I am ready for any inspection now. You can see in my ratings that I have given all "A's." I would highly recommend his work.
Description of Work: I had been searching for someone to repair some floor joists and a sill plate in my crawl space due to termite damage. This was isolated under the front doorway. I wanted a job well done as we are in the process of selling our house and wanted anyone to be able to inspect the work and be satisfied. A+ to "The House Doctor" in this regard. Just a few evenings ago I took our prospective buyer under the house to show him the excellent job that was done. Services performed for repairs due to termite damage under our front doorway ... Three floor joists and over eight feet of the sill plate were damaged by termites. The three floor joists were eaten away on the ends that rest on the sill plate. The House Doctor cut away the damaged part of all the boards. He slightly lifted the house to cut out an eight foot section of the sill plate and replace with treated lumber. He sistered in three new floor joists alongside the damaged ones and brought them to rest on the sill plate. All of this is very strong and secure looking. No need for extra floor support because everything is so solid.

Description of Work: I called House Doctor a few months ago, but they did not return my call. I called again a few days later and left a message that was not returned until weeks later, and the excuse was that they were "very busy" and couldn't return call. They told me they finally have time to see me and came to my home in november. They looked around and I showed them each area where I need repairs. They were courteous but after I mentioned that I am on Disability they gave me names of other people to call they left without giving me any estimates or a return date to do any work. Needless to say, I was confused and disappointed because they have a "good reputation". I will not be calling them back.

Response from St.John Custom Homes
This job was given a free estimate, we did a free electrical repair at time of visit that someone else could figure out (at no charge). We gave her names and phone numbers of other contacts to do other repairs she showed us and asked us about, as she continued repeatedly to expressed she could not afford to do all the repairs she needed around her home. My father and I spent over an hour and a half there walking around her first floor, her basement, and the exterior and fence outside her home explaining to her how she could accomplish the multiple repairs she pointed out to us, in a manor to save her money. Again she was not charged anything for time, and she kept expressing to us that she couldn't afford to do anything. This was even without receiving any price from us at all. She was very grateful for fixing her electrical issue for free that hadn't worked for over one year, and thanked us for coming by when we were leaving. I didn't expect to get this rating for donated professional advice and 3 man hours at no charge! I'm very sorry that wasn't enough to satisfy this client.
