We had several porch posts that were rotting due to water pooling on the concrete floor. Dave suggested a way to improve the drainage, and replaced the rotting posts, along with the footers laying along the concrete floor. He also rescreened the entire porch and painted everything. After our recent heavy rains, we did not have the water pooling like we used to! Success!

On July 29th, I called and left a message with Dave Milender asking if he could replace a broken handle to our sliding glass patio door. He returned the call quickly and said he would be out later that same day to look at the handle. He came as promised and as there was no visible markings as to the maker of the door, he took the handle's measurements and said he would see if he could find a suitable replacement. He asked if there were any other repairs needed at this time and we indicated we had 2 doors to the outside whose weather stripping needed replacement. He took those measurements and said he would purchase the new weather strips. He called us the following morning and said after checking multiple stores, he believed he had found a handle that would work and he would come out later that afternoon to make the repairs. He returned as scheduled, found the new handle was a perfect fit and quickly replaced the broken one. He then removed both doors, replaced the old weather stripping, rehung the doors and adjusted the threshold to insure a proper fit. He then swept the area. We will have other projects that require a handyman's services and we won't hesitate to use Dave again.
Description of Work: Replace broken patio door handle and replace 2 under door weather strips.
Dave called the sink manufacturer and was able to get replacement parts for free!! I just had to pay for his plumbing services. We had to wait for the parts to be delivered. As soon as I let him know the parts had arrived, he came back the very next day. One piece of the gutter had to be replaced and Dave knew someone who would create the exact piece we needed and for much less than other repair services I got estimates from. I had a few pieces of old siding and He was able to use what we had to repair the barn. He's willing to invest his extra effort to save the homeowner dollars on parts and materials.
Description of Work: Dave repaired a hole in our barn siding, replaced a gutter and siding damaged in a storm, fixed a leak under the kitchen sink and repaired the stopper gizmo in the bathroom.

Arrived on Time, gave estimate and I accepted the bid. Two days later they showed up, did the job and cleaned up afterwards. Very Professional !
Description of Work: Ran electrical and hdmi wires and installed flat screen tv to wall
David was quick to respond to my first call and was able to come over the next day. He started the work the following day. He was always on time and was maticulous and thorough in his work. He suggested that I add a vent opening in front of the pipe that was prone to freezing so that the room air could keep it warm. I thought that was a smart suggestion.

David from Milender Home Repair is a great person, has been fair with us, on time, and did great work. He worked efficiently, effectively, is knowledgeable about his craft, and explained things very well. He was able to guesstimate the hours and he would only bill based on the work he did. I've used him a few times and I will continue to have him do work at the house.
Description of Work: Milender Home Repair provided handyman services inside and outside including drywall repair, insulations, fan electrical, and a downspout through a paver patio.

Disappointing. We never received the estimate. After Dave came to our house to see what we wanted done, I did not receive any further contact. I left him a couple voicemails the next week, but did not receive a reply. Ended up moving forward with someone else. -Update - I heard from Dave. He indicated he had sent me a work estimate, but it appears that his email estimate may have been lost in my email junk mail filter. I consider this an unfortunate communication problem, but cannot rate his work.
Description of Work: Dave came to our house to review the work we wanted to be done in our master bathroom and to provide us an estimate. Scheduling him to come out went well.

He did a great job. He also came over to look at the project first then came back later with everything he needed to do the job.
Description of Work: He did a small job for us. I have a wire shelf in my laundry room that came loose and in order to fix it I needed to do something more than what was there before. I bought a board, painted it to match the wall, and he put the board up first into the studs and but the wire rack on top of the board. It can now hold a lot more weight than before.

He called very fast and we scheduled a time to meet and he gave an estimate. He came despite a bad cut on his hand. When he could not make it by 8 am, he let me know and came later that day and did our project. He and his son did a great job. I should have told him I needed the stain darker to match - one of us should have caught it but no big deal as I can darken. Had I mentioned , he would have fixed. Very nice man. I will use again. Great prices.
Description of Work: He was prompt on return calls. His price was great. Some of the trim needs a 2nd or 3rd coat of stain as not dark enough but I appreciated him and he did a great job. Thank you. I will use Dave again for sure.

Dave came to install the new fixtures I purchased and to make repairs on my house. I had a long list of items for him to do which contained the installation of all new items such as a dishwasher, kitchen counter top, cabinets, bathroom vanity, and replace a wall faucet. I also wanted him to install new lighting and outlets in the bathroom but he could not do these things because it took longer for him to make the installations. He said he Assumed that some of the work was already done on the dishwasher and counter top. He had made the asumption that the hole for the sink was already cut and the counter top was already put together. He assumed there was also some work done on the dishwasher etc. I explained these were new items still new in the box and that I did not have a hook up for the dishwasher yet. I made it clear that nothing had been done on these new items as he could look at the items to see they were brand new. He did not ask me questions about any work that could have been done on them and he could clearly see the counter top was not prepared in any way. He looked at the list and assured me the list could be done in 2 days and he estimated the job for no higher than $1500.00. He also said he could do all the work himself and would only need a helper with the counter top and the minor repairs. As it turned out it took much longer to do the work and he charged about $2500 for the work. I had told him I was living on disability and I could not spend a lot of money for his work. I made it clear to him that I would need him to do good work at a cost saving price. I had to purchase the cheapest items the home improvement stores had and I did not have a lot of money to spend on the installations. I told him that the house still had the original fixtures from when it was build in 1959. The faucets was corroding, the bathroom sink was barely still hanging on the wall, the counter top was extremely old and out dated and there was not enough cabinets in the kitchen. He did not have time to do the rest of the work because he spent so much time on the first items on the list and I can not afford to hire anyone else to finish the work on the house.
Description of Work: Dave was a nice guy but he under estimated the job tremendously. He had to come back to make corrections and some of the work he did still has problems. He was a curtious guy that did a good job overall but he turned out to be extremely expensive. I did not have a lot of money to spend for updating my house. He said he could do everything on my long list himself as opposed to having several people come in to do the work. He said he charged $50.00 an hour and at some point he may have a helper come and help him for a few hours. As it turned out he had a second help all three days he was here and they were here almost the same amount of hours as he was. He said I would pay them $30.00 per hour. So I ended up paying $80.00 per hour for three days work. I understood that he would only be here 2 days and he would be working alone. He estimated he could do all of the installations, repairs and replacements for only $1400-$1500. The list only contained minor jobs like installing new items like new dishwasher hookup, vanity installation, installing new kitchen cabinets, installing a new counter top in the kitchen and some minor repairs. There was no major renovations like tearing down walls or building anything.

First, Mr. Milender returned my call quickly. Given that I had called several, this was a first. He was available the very next day for a long list of tasks and showed up bright and early and on time. He fixed my back door which was skewed and he had to move the locks so the door would seal right. I didn't know how to fix it and he diagnosed and fixed it quickly. He uses quality dry wall repair materials and even offered to vacuum! He also replaced a bathtub drain, and had to make a trip to Lowe's for me. You can just tell he won't do something unless he can do it right. He hung several shelfs so that they were sturdy enough for storage - taking care to make sure everything was level and cleaned up. He's a proud grandpa and someone I am glad to have met. I will definitely call him should I ever need anything done in the house.

Dave worked with me regarding payment and schedule. It was 'by the hour' which I prefer. We knocked off chunks of the project throughout 2011... I'd pay him for that portion and would call him up once I was ready financially for the next step. I was comfortable with him working in my house when I was away. Great work and a great guy.
Description of Work: 2011 was a big year at my house and Dave was a huge part of it. Dave (and sometimes his son Josh) were instrumental in turning an old storage room and tiny 70s era bathroom into my new master bed/bath. We conquered many configuration issues and Dave was always patient, insightful, and efficient. The work included: -Wiring and installing multiple light fixtures -rerouting plumbing for washer/dryer, sink, and shower -extensive tile work in the new bathroom -rerouting exhaust vent for dryer -coming up with an ingenuous way to retain easy access to my crawlspace while making it completely inconspicuous -framing and installing a wall -installing 2 doors -painting the new rooms twice (first color choice was terrible) Also, Dave found a cost effective way to increase the height of my backyard fence to contain my adventurous dog. Finally one aspect regarding Dave that I really appreciated was he was always looking around and making suggestions regarding potential issues he saw and suggesting how I could resolve them on my own.
