Description of Work: Rod and his wife came to my house promptly to look at the job. They are friendly, lovely, professional people. The tile job was scheduled for the following week. Rod (and his assistant who did most of the cuts) came early and worked on the tile installation the entire day. The next day Rod came back and grouted the tile. I cannot believe what a wonderful job he did. The tile back splash has MADE my kitchen. I had a new apron sink, beautiful faucet, and wooden counter top put in last year and yet the back splash was exactly what the kitchen needed to make it really special. The pot filler over the stove had previously been plumbed, so Rod finished the installation to complete the job. I will definitely call Rod and his wife for any job we need in our house.

Rod was great. He gave us suggestions on some repairs we were unsure of. He suggested replacing the single pull light in the basement over the washer which was broken with a fluorescent and added a switch since it wasn't connected to the main light switch. He knew what he was doing, had the tools needed and he cleaned up after himself. The valve on the dishwasher had just cracked before he came and we added that to the list. He said he'd be able to replace it. That saved us another service call from an appliance repair company. I would definitely call Rod again. In fact, I'm already thinking of other projects he can help with!
Description of Work: Ron completed a laundry list of repairs. He repaired the basement inside door frame and rehung door, filled in gap between block windows and original sill for 5 basement windows, fixed falling ceiling under stairs in basement, replaced single light fixture in basement with 4 ft fluorescent light, reinforced wooden stairs going down to the basement, hung coat rack in entrance hall, replaced water valve in dishwasher, tightened ceiling fan in dining room and fixed broken drawer in kitchen.

Rod brought different sized supports with him and then determined which worked best. His wife came with him to hand up tools while he was in the attic area. The work was completed efficiently and competently. Since I wasn't able to get into the attic he took pictures of his work to show me what was done.

I think it went great overall. He did a very good, quality job. He was always on time. I thought the price he charged me was very reasonable. His wife came to collect the money and she was really nice. I didn't have any complaints. He works quick and efficiently. He gave me a ten percent Angie's List discount.
Description of Work: He came out to my house and fixed a door and got some mold off the house.

I called Mr. Barnes and explained our need. He drove to the house, examined the job and called me back with a quote. I agreed and he returned to the house that evening and completed the job. Excellent work.
Description of Work: Mr. Barnes covered damaged areas of our roof with a tarp. He did an excellent job of fitting the tarp and securing it to withstand the weather until repairs could be made.

We will not use anyone else for work in our home. Mr. Barnes rescued us from a dangerously botched and stalled remodel. We had worked with another contractor for months with nothing complete and our house torn apart. Mr. Barnes came in and promptly finished a significant amount of plumbing including new drains for our kitchen and new upstairs laundry. He set all our cabinetry, which had been sitting for weeks, and was a difficult job with many outer walls of the old home out of square. He completed much custom woodwork around appliances, etc. beautifully. When we ran into very serious electrical issues he recommended an electrician of equal quality. Mr. Barnes called each day to let us know his arrival time. He did not leave a job until it was completed. He is a great problem solver and left our home each day cleaner than he found it. His estimates were always right on, never any surprises and his fees very reasonable. His experience with older homes saved us and his professional demeanor was very refreshing.
Description of Work: Completion of total remodel to kitchen and laundry in 1920s tudor home. Total plumbing including running new drain lines through basement. Installation of venting for dryer and basement bath. Ceramic tile repair. Setting of all cabinetry. New electric and service.

I highly recommend him to anybody. He quoted $125, but only charged $100 after asking if I was an Angie's List member. Perhaps the discount was because I am a senior citizen. I will definitely call him for other things in his area of expertise.
Description of Work: He repaired the ceiling tile in the basement that was damaged from leaking water upstairs. He was here for 4 hours.

Rodney removed all the old carpet and padding from my condo and removed it to the dumpsters (in sections small enough to fit inside the dumpster). He also removed all the staples and swept up. He got the work done quickly and he did a good job. He is very pleasant to work with. In fact, after the work he did on this job I hired him to do a couple of other things for me. Wish I had found him sooner.

He does a good job at whatever he does, and he can do everything. He gets the work done in a very good time. He did a beautiful job tearing out my cabinets and replacing them.
Description of Work: He helped me pick out my paint colors and my door, he put ceramic tile in my kitchen and bathroom. He told me what kind would be best so that I didn't slip on it, and he replaced my cabinets.
