Wasn't worth it
Description of Work: He came out to quote some work, but had to have a sub contractor actually reach out to me - that sub contractors prices were ridiculous.

Couldn't have gone better. We needed him to work that week, and his schedule allowed that. He was fair priced, flexible in his time-frame, and finished the work well. I felt very safe having him in our home, and consider him a great resource.
Description of Work: Ed cleaned the windows, told great jokes, cleaned the gutters, advised us about some small repairs, and in general made our house much better looking than when he arrived. Besides which, he's nice, very smart and funny!

Each of the three jobs went extremely well, and he pointed out as we had asked him to do, some other areas of concern so as soon as we can, we'll have him back to tackle the other issues.
Description of Work: He has done 3 jobs for us. The first time he came to clean out our basement, and I think he underestimated how much stuff there would be, so extra trips to the dump were required, as his truck without the hauler on the back was not very big, thus raising the price since he charges by the hour. The second time, he was to clean and dismantle an outdoor shed. Not one bit of debris left behind. The third time was to repair and paint our front porch which had been infected with carpenter ants, put new "fencing" on the lower part of the house in the front and to fix a door that was falling apart. He did a beautiful job. That was over $900, but I have nothing to base the pricing on, so all I know is he is very nice, always comes when he says and does very professional work.

Excellent work; very neat; exactly on schedule as committed; encountered problem on storm door replacement and quickly priced various optional solutions, explained the options to us and completed job with the chosen solution. Ed has done work for us before and, just as before, this was very professionally and promptly completed.

He was very easy to contact and was very clear about what he could and couldn't do about the problem. He repeated back to me the problem I had reported, just so that we were both sure we had clearly understood each other. He was very clear about work time and cost. He arrived on time and stayed as long as he had said he would. He was very friendly and helpful about home maintenance in general. It was a completely professional, excellent experience.
Description of Work: He removed a damaged piece of drywall in both the bedroom and bathroom. He then returned a few times to add new drywall, coat it with plaster, and sand the dried plaster.

Job 1: Great! I had a mix of projects that needed doing & was the 1st time using a handyman. Ed responded to my call, came quickly to look over the projects, actually fixed 1 small thing (for free!) during that initial visit & scheduled me in for a few wks b/c he had prior commitments. Showed up when he on time, worked hard all day, contributed tips for how I could do some final work (painting, sanding) myself to save the charge for a return trip from him, & generally was an interesting & very nice fellow. Very professional, knowledgeable, & knew what he could & could not do. Job 2: From the 1st job he noticed that my old hot tub was looking pretty sad & asked if I'd thought abt having it removed. I d been thinking abt it & asked it he could do it. I then had an electrician come disconnect it & scheduled Ed to remove it. It ended up taking less time & he cleaned up the area & took the pieces of the hot tub to the dump & some other rubbish laying around. 2 problems were solved at once!
Description of Work: Job 1: He replaced broken deck railing, four screen porch screens, repaired damaged ceiling under leaky skylight, and replaced fluorescent light fixture bulbs and plastic panel.($598.) Job 2: Removed old hot tub.($250.)

Overall, an excellent experience. Ed was always on time, professional, and knowledgeable. He provided excellent solutions to every problem and was very willing to discuss these (and consider alternate options.) His prices aren't the cheapest that you can find, but in this case you get what you pay for, high quality professional work. I would highly recommend his services and we intend to hire him again in the future.
Description of Work: Repair, replace, and paint various trim boards including window sills. Winterize exterior of house.

As usual, Ed was "amazing" we had our house sided and the contractor had left gaps which needed caulking between all windows. Ed came on time, was entirely trustworthy i.e. billing for time and materials, and, as expected did a great job. (We would hire him to do any handyman-type services for us at this point, so we're hopelessly biased, based on a track record of 3+ positive experiences.).
Description of Work: Sealed and caulked all windows and window/siding intersections.

Outstanding work! Came promptly and on-time, after calling to confirm someone was at home. Did work impeccably, no mess or cleanup necessary after he left. Gave good advice on ways to minimize cost. One task had underlying problems requiring a specialist. He noted that issue and avoided getting mid-work and having to stop. Would strongly recommend him for anyone.
Description of Work: Varied set of tasks, including grout replacement on section of tile flooring (matching colors); grout replacement on section of bath tile (matching colors); stain removal and repainting of section of ceiling (without having to repaint entire ceiling); repair & replacement of deck balusters; cleaning of deck; resealing of deck; painting of exterior doorways.

He gave me a few referrals that I was needed work for, and he told me things that I could do myself. He didn't want take any money for fixing the cabinet door, but I think his prices are very reasonable. He said he'd return to fix the other things if I want him to. He spent about 2 hours here going over everything.
Description of Work: He came to give me an estimate and fixed a cabinet door that was uneven.

THIS IS A DREAM CONTRACTOR. HE ALWAYS CALLS BACK, ALWAYS SHOWS UP WHEN HE SAYS HE WILL, AND ALWAYS FINISHES THE JOB - INCLUDING CALLING BACK TO MAKE SURE I AM SATISFIED WITH THE WORK. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE TALKS TO ME ABOUT THE PROJECT, UNDERSTANDS MY FINANCIAL AND TIME BOUNDARIES, AND IF I WANT - WILL EXPLAIN TO ME HOW HE IS DOING THINGS. AND, IF HE DOESN'T FEEL HE CAN ADEQUATELY COMPLETE A JOB, HE WILL SAY SO UP FRONT.
Description of Work: I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROJECTS DONE BY ED KOPPELMAN OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, AT TWO DIFFERENT HOMES. PROJECTS INCLUDED INSTALLING NEW SHOWER HEADS, ELECTRICAL CHANGES, SOUND PROOFING, STAIRCASE REPAIR, WEATHERVANE INSTALLATION, AND OTHER CARPENTRY WORK.
