Joshua is very good at what he does! I LOVE my new bathroom. I had intended to just get needed repairs done in my bathroom, but Joshua suggested some tweaks that would update the entire room. He was willing to do whatever I wanted, but I went with his suggestions and could not be more thrilled!! And he stayed within my budget. Excellent work, professional, kept work space clean, responded quickly to any concerns, and price was very reasonable.

After much back and forth as to time to do the work, a schedule was finally agreed upon. I took off work and waited and waited. . . finally I emailed him and his response was that he had not put my name in the time slot. Not a word yet about rescheduling or refunding coupon cost.

[Member Name Removed], sorry for the disconnect, your time is very valuable to me as well. Really this last coupon was sent by someone else, this is a really busy time for me now. And yes I do all my scheduling and I did make the mistake of not putting your name next to the time allotted. I would offer to reschedule, but due to your frustration I understand why you wouldn't. Sorry again.

He began work as agreed and on-time. Was careful in repairing what could be repaired and what had to be replaced. Nice job "distressing" replacement wood to match original. Came in at the lower end of the quoted range.
Description of Work: Repair exterior wood facia boards in a "Swiss Chalet" style home. Joshua pointed out that some boards needed to be completely replaced. We agreed upon a budget range dependent on how many boards would be replaced.

Sun porch is approximately 10 x 12. We supplied paint and primer. Joshua recommended a high-quality primer since we were painting an interior vinyl surface. He also supplied some extra primer. Joshua took extra care with caulking brad holes, taping baseboard and metal hardware, and any other imperfections. Nice job! Repaired a 90-year old "Russwin" door latch. Removed a bathroom door to completely rehab, which included removing and polishing all metal hardware. Very well done! Work done on-time and, as always, at a fair and reasonable price.
Description of Work: Primed & painted a sun porch. Removed (90-year old) bathroom door to repaint along with rehabbing metal hinges and latch. Hung a portrait in a stairwell approx. 8 - 9 feet above the steps.

While in the midst of a renovation, we ran into a problem requiring installation of a new ceiling electrical box. Joshua has done multiple jobs for us in the past so I called and asked if he could come the next day so we wouldn't have to delay our project. Joshua was gracious to come even though he had a full day's work scheduled. He's a gentleman and always does a good job.

His caulking job was fine, good work. BUT: IT took him 3 1/2 hours to caulk 4 tubs??? He double charged me because he said the Angies List deal was only for one residence and I had him do two apartments. What's the difference: $75/hr for two hrs. of caulking in either kitchen or bathroom is what I bought. So I paid him additional $75 - culda got it done with Lowe's or Home Depot guys for $50. But: The guy knocked a tile off the wall, left it barely hanging. Going to have to have that fixed now, thanks to him. And then, somehow he pulled the handle on the handheld shower head, dropped it, and broke it. So, now because of him I have to go out and buy another showerhead extension and pay another handyman to put it on for me. So,,,,,no, don't think it went very well for me at all. Mr. Roark, however, made out like a bandit.
Description of Work: caulked around 4 bathtubs.

If you are a perfectionist (or are married to a perfectionist like I am), Josh is your guy. He replaced four exterior doors and three screen doors in our circa 1964 house with new doors from Home Depot. They look great and fit perfectly. He is a great communicator, and does an outstanding job for a very reasonable price!

The drywall repair was okay, but wasn't smooth, and they suggested it was ready to be repainted, which is just silly. In the process of the ceiling drywall repairs, the moulding at the top of one of my cabinets was broken off, and repaired by haphazardly nailing it back in place (crooked) and bending the nails onto the wood (?!). I would have preferred that they admit they did not have the proper tools, and wait to do the repair. We contacted them to come back and repair it, which they did. It was done, but still not very well. it's obvious not flush with the rest of the cabinet, but it seems to be permanently warped or something. He showed up in a bad mood-- pretty much just coming in and leaving without saying anything, obviously upset that he had to come back. Even though the repair was mediocre, we were ready to be done with them.

It was alright. We were not able to come a convenient appointment until the March or so. He offered to come but we were unable to make our appointments work. He showed up when we agreed to and kind of cleaned up after himself. The price good. I don't think that he did as good a job on finishing it up especially with the spackle. I think that could have been done a little bit better.
