We have used Don and Doug for several projects at our home including roof repairs on both the pool house and, most recently, the carport. We acquired this house in 2012. Although it is in excellent shape we have discovered some shoddy work that was done, likely in an effort to restore the house following hurricane Katrina. Nonetheless, we noticed that water appeared to be collecting on the vinyl ceiling of the carport after it rained. Upon calling Don it was noted that the "pitch" of the roof was off thereby causing rainwater to collect in some sagging areas on the roof. Given the fact that the tiles on the roof were also incorrectly laid the water would seep through the crevices between down to the underlying plywood and, with nowhere to go, pool on the vinyl ceiling below. Needless to say that the plywood was rotten and served as an invitation for termites, among other things. Don and Doug replaced the plywood, adjusted the pitch of the roof allowing the rainwater to flow off properly, and replaced the tiles, laying them correctly. They also added a center beam to provide greater stability for the weight of the roof. The carport now looks higher, and we have had NO problem with leakage after heavy rain. Don Goodworth and his trusty colleague Doug are knowledgeable, efficient, and very thorough. They go beyond the call of duty to ensure that you are completely satisfied with their work. Their combined years of service in the construction industry serve them well. We have every intention of re-hiring them as the need arises for structural repairs to our home. We are VERY satisfied customers!!!
Description of Work: The provider repaired the roof on our pool house and carport.

Don came out and talked to my wife while I was out of town. She walked him through what we wanted done he was polite and gave suggestions on ways to make the driveway better. His price was very good and his crew showed up on time and did the work. The weather did not cooperate to use tractor to scrap yard so his crew did it by hand. The job ran a little long because of weather and concrete availability. They did a great job and I will call them again if needed.
Description of Work: Poured 2200 sqft driveway 3.5" thick and replace a portion of patio demo'd during other project.

.It went perfectly! I was busy with other things and was unable to be present while work was being done. Upon completion I was impressed with quality of work and totally satisfied. There was nothing to ask to be corrected or to complain about. It's been nearly a year since completion and have had no problems or reason to call back for any fixes.
Description of Work: Repaired a badly leaning fence, replaced 2x4 beams, replaced missing boards, and added approximately 20 ft of additional fencing. I would also like to mention that Don and helper came out on very short notice 3 days before Christmas and did work on the weekend! Very few providers would do that. I know because I called several before finding Don on Angie's List.

Mr. Goodworth and his partner were punctual, reasonably priced, great carpenters, electricians and overall craftsmen, they were both personable, easy to talk to hard working. They even cleaned up after one of our dogs when she got excited about the noise the power tools were making and took care of her while we ran an errand. We have them coming back in a couple of weeks to add a screen porch and driveway to our house. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Mr. Goodworth and his partner built a double gate cedar fence, ripped out and replaced the tile on our fireplace (floor and face), retiled both. ripped out tile on the front of our kitchen tall bar, and tiled the floor in our utility room. changed ceiling fans , switches, and other minor electrical, painted the kitchen bar area after replacing with beaded board, installed trim, calked and painted molding.

Don Goodworth and his partner are two of the nicest, well equipt and talented carpenters I've ever dealt with. They installed a privacy fence and picket fence in the back yard. The quality and precission of the cuts and fit were outstanding. They used quality materials, built them solid and true. excellent workmanship. Next they removed tile from the fireplace face and floor and from the bar area in the kitchen. After removing the tile, they retiled the fireplace and put beaded board on the bar area. Once again, excellent craftsmanship. Fitted, painted and finishe quickly . Once we saw the kind of work Mr. Goodsworth had done, we had him come back and retile the laundry room. Once again, top notch. My wife asked if he could change out a few light switches one day when he was available and he said he could do it now. Five hours he spent changing switches and other various issues. If that wasn't enough to sell himself... our dog Molly (nervous from all the construction) regergitated on the dining room rug. He cleaned it and her up , put her in the back yard until he was through and let her back in. He is the man. We have other work we would like to have done around our place in the next few years and believe me, we will call no one else.
Description of Work: Refaced fireplace, removed and refaced kitchen bar area, tiled laundry room, built two fences (cedar), changed out faulty light switches.

Wiring for existing fluorescent was about 4 feet from where we wanted the new hanging fixture located. Don and his assistant had to locate ceiling joists and cut small holes through drywall ceiling and then drill holes through two joists to re-route wiring to new fixture location. Assembled and hung new fixture over kitchen island.
Description of Work: Replaced existing kitchen fluorescent light fixture with a modern hanging light over kitchen island. Work was done promptly and as requested. Price was appropriate for this job. Both men were very professional and we were very satisfied.

I got in touch with Mr. Goodworth on 1/24/13 about some repairs to my home. We agreed that he would call me on 01/28 to set up a time to come the next day. i did not hear from him but talked to a man that works with him on 01/31 and that man came by on the same day to take a look at what needed to be done. The man was polite and personable . He said that Mr. Goodwoth would call or email me with an estimate. Today is 02/13 and i havent heard a thing. I rechecked my email, email trash bin ,spam and answering machine to make sure I hadn't missed his message by mistake . I have not. I have never hired a handyman before so I didn't try calling him back because this just seemed like a bad sign to me. Hope i have better luck with the next name on the list
