We Show Up

Alan is very efficient, professional and yes he does show up! His work is impeccable and is very creative. Neat and clean are also attributes. Quote was right on and works with you through any obstacles encountered on the job. Keeps you informed of when he will show up and any issues on the job. I would highly recommend We Show Up! and have to many of my friends.

Alan, of "We Show Up" was very polite and responsive. He charged us a very reasonable fee for reattaching a shutter. I would definitely hire him again.

Terrific! Alan was prompt, professional, neat, and highly skilled. We're so pleased that we can call on him when we need a hand.

They did show up, early in fact. They had previously painted a room and did a fine job. This was just some odd jobs, moving furniture and putting together a pool table. The furniture took 30 minutes. The pool table was complicated and after 2 hours, I was told a critical piece was missing, rendering the piece fairly useless. I understand this was not thier problem, but the fact they left a mess (the box the table came in, all the packing peanuts), didn't bother to clean up, and didn't try to offer me a discount because they could not finish the job, was disappointing. Additionally, instead of charging the rate he had before, he doubled the rate without telling me, and then sprung it on me as he left. I ended up paying more for them to try to figure out putting together the table than the table was worth itself. I felt ripped off. Still angry about it. Would not recommend them nor would I use them again.

I originally contacted Alan in early June, after finding him on Angie's list, and asked him to quote some jobs that we needed done. At the time, the list included (1) enclosing the space at the bottom of the cellar stairs by building two walls and installing a door - this created an enclosed space for our litter box farm, as we have four cats; (2) repair weatherstripping on our front door; (3) install lattice around the deck; (4) replace shed doors and trim, and (5) remove rust and repaint bulkhead. Alan promptly responded to my email request for a quote, and came out to our house 2 weeks later. He provided a quote and required 1/3 of the quote as a deposit, and once he received that he scheduled the job. At the time of the quote he told us he was booking in late August, but that turned out to be mid-October. While we understood that he was busy, the delay did surprise us a little bit and in the end we decided not to have a couple of the jobs done - partially due to the delay. So once we set the start date, Alan promptly arrived (along with Dave), and they did a super job on the "litter room" and front door repair. They were courteous, asked questions to make sure they did the job the way we wanted, and each day they cleaned up completely. They were professional and really did an excellent job - the cats love their big new space and we now have access to our cellar and a great place for litter boxes. I will definitely work with Alan again - in fact, some of the jobs that we put off are already scheduled for next spring.

The space around our shower insert in the master bathroom was drywalled and painted when the house was built about 8 years ago. Recently, we noticed the caulking around the top of the shower insert had failed, with several paint bubbles and the beginnings of some mold issues. Alan came out to take a look, and agreed that tiling around the insert would solve the problem long-term -- he also recommended a waterproofing product to go behind the tile. Although we expected to wait a few weeks to schedule, Alan called a couple of weeks after the estimate with an unexpected opening. Luckily, I was able to source tile quickly, so the job was done in record time! It took Alan and his assistant, Dave, a day and a half to finish. It was very meticulous work, with lots of tile cuts, walls out of plumb, and a mosaic tile inset -- all in a very small, tight space. They "showed up" right on time, let me ask tons of questions, and did a fabulous job. The actual cost was a bit over the original estimate, mainly because the tiles I purchased were more time-consuming to install than what I originally requested. We've hired Alan before, and knew he would approach our job as if it were in his own house. He ALWAYS does what he says he's going to do, no project is too small for him to take on, and his prices are very fair. If he can't do something, or believes you need to call in a licensed electrician or plumber, he'll tell you, and we trust him implicitly to work in our home. Alan is truly the perfect "handyman," and a rare find. We couldn't be happier with his work on this project, and we'll definitely call him again.

I received a call back the next day, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, he's so booked that he couldn't do the work quickly enough for my schedule. However, I'll try him again in the future. I was very impressed with his professionalism and promptness.

Alan did a great job for us. His work looks great. He is not cheap, but very reasonably priced. He did everything we asked of him, was punctual, and showed-up when promised. He also helped us save money by figuring out ways to salvage ballisters as opposed to replacing everything. We would definitely hire him again.

Alan did a great job. Even though I needed help with very small job, he responded courteously and did some drilling and cabinet/pictures hanging very professionally. I am very satisfied and will use his service again! Thank you!

Alan always comes ontime, and takes pride in his work. He has a great work ethic, is pleasant and patient. I am happy to have such a reliable person to call on!

Firstly, Alan was extremely prompt in responding to our initial phone call asking him to get in touch with us. He was professional, courteous and showed up on time EVERY time he came to the house. Not only is he an all-around great guy, his work is exceptional! He pays great attention to the tiny details and is meticulous. He also takes great pride in making sure he does great work and that his customers are satisfied. His prices are fair as well. We were 100% satisfied with his work and would not hesitate to hire him again!

I called Alan early in the week and asked him to move a towel rack and repair a hole in our wall. He was there within a week and completed the job in only a couple of hours. He's responsive, efficient, and thorough. Can't ask for much more. Will definitely use him again on other projects.

Alan came in on time and spent about an hour carefully going over the bathroom and suggesting various steps we could try ourselves to identify and correct the problem. We were impressed by the fact that he spent so much time, not getting paid, explaining to us how we could do a lot of work for ourselves. Alan patched several seems and tar-sealed a spot around the bathroom skylight. He scrapped and patched the damaged wall and ceiling areas, and painted the entire bathroom. All of this work was done in a day and a half, and looks great. Alan's estimate was extremely reasonable, and though the final price came in slightly higher, it was generally in line with the estimate. We will absolutely use Alan again!

We Show Up lived up to their name. They were early for the estimate and on time for the services to be performed. The estimate process was quick and easy, and he actually came in under the estimate. Due to unforseen circumstances we neede to move up the date of the service and Alan was more then willing to accomodate and made it out just a couple days later. He performed the service quickly and competently and I would defientely contact We Show Up for more handyman work in the future.

On time everyday, listened to suggestions, work progressed rapidly, were very pleasant.I believe that price was very reasonable.

I could not have been more pleased with Alan's work - he was professional, skilled, punctual, pleasant, and cleaned up his workspace daily, even for a job that lasted several days and required that he leave equipment behind. He painted 2/3 of my home (the rest was not part of the job) and did so quickly and professionally. Not a drop out of place! He also custom designed a wine rack for an alcove in my dining room that was an odd size (due to duct work in the walls) and was actually narrower at the back than the front. He hand cut each shelf to exactly fit the required space. He also showed up on Easter Sunday (when no one else was available) to put a temporary lock on my front door when the lock I had broke and the door would not close properly. I would hire him for any work I need done in my home.

Not only was the job done on time (actually earlier than expected!) and done well, Alan was considerate of my time and money. The job cost a bit more than the estimate, but I have found this to be true in most remodeling projects. Overall, this remodeling job was a good experience for me and in my lifetime, that is rare!

They did not do a good job and had to end up taking the air conditioner out of my window myself. They had to keep canceling and rescheduling. When I had to get in contact with them to come back out they were hard to get in contact with. They had to come back to fix a job that was done wrong but they didn't charge me extra for it. I didn't feel that they were very professional. Their prices were low but they didn't do a good job. Sept 9, 2013: I'm updating my review in response to the business' reply to AL via phone. They state that the slope of the window didn't allow for proper installation ("...did not allow for the AC unit to be sloped appropriately."), but I had someone else out here and he fixed it completely within a few minutes. He only charged me $10 for the work and there hasn't been one drop of leakage since! The exact same A/C has been in place in the same window for close to two years now and no other repairs or alterations were performed on the window. As such, I say buyer beware! I'll review the other person in a few minutes because he is absolutely wonderful and reliable (Teague Construction).

Like their company name..everyone showed up on time and acted in a very professional manner.

I had a really good experience. Alan, the owner, was really accommodating to my schedule, working always at odd times but convenient for me. He quickly replied to my messages and provided prompt estimates. He is very knowledgable and he gave me some advise me on how to go about of my ongoing house projects. In addition, he works neatly and I had very little to clean after the job . I am happy with the cost and the results; the vanity looks excellent and the room cealing like new. I would definitely call him back if I need help in my next project.

Alan is a pleasure to work with. He helped us to identify our options, and gave us two different estimates to enable us to determine the scope of work we wanted accomplished. Once the project began, he was professional, diligent and patient throughout.

He will be doing the work son. He was great. He came and he was professional, courteous, and prompt. So far he has been so good, so I am hoping that his work would be just as good.

We Show Up was responsive to our initial phone call. They requested that we get our own paint in the color we wished to have the doors painted. They showed up on time and finished the job in a timely, professional manner. I was extremely pleased.

The particular challenges of the many renovation and repair problems in this old apartment are never ending...so we expect a long and happy relationship with Alan and "We Show Up" .That said, it will be pleasure to entertain a long relationship with a real pro. After consulting with Alan way back in the Spring of 2011, it was not until October that we were finally able to actually start work! Alan stayed in touch with us as the weeks turned to months and the job(s) we had agreed upon initially, continued to change in scope and form. Alan always showed himself to be flexible, and honest about his time, commitments, and experience. Where work didn't have to be done, or could be accomplished with less expense and effort - he SAID SO! - Never resorting to the "hard-sell" Not only does he SHOW UP. He LISTENS!!! And he ANSWERS! Fortunately, Alan utilizes email and modern communication to stay in touch with his customers: and answered within 24 hours or LESS! Once work had begun, he arrived promptly and was prepared. His assistant, Dave was, likewise, a pleasure to work with, always upbeat, careful and considerate - and VERY CAPABLE! Together they formed a reliable, responsive team that never lost site of the fact that they were in the middle of someone's home! NO RADIOS BLASTING or unnecessary noise or loud yelling. Alan treated OUR house...as if it was HIS.He met each task with sound advice, competence and patience. If we had issues or concerns about some aspect of the repairs, he was always polite and patient and offered answers and solutions. He was up front about the kind of work he did - and did NOT do - and offered names and resources whenever possible. The electrician he suggested was likewise, jovial, competent, reliable and mindful of our costs. Alan and his colleague Dave undertook an incredibly difficult (and dangerous) job wallpapering our old 10 feet high ceilings - a daunting challenge. They worked hard and long - with precision and care. The results were beyond our expectations. At the end of every work day, they cleaned up the area meticulously - even washing the kitchen floor to remove any traces of plaster dust and/or debris! We have spent many hours gazing in satisfaction at the result of their handiwork and efforts. And we are looking forward to working with Alan and "We Show Up" well into the future...

The result is beautiful and perfectly functional. Alan did a good job with the cleanup and was always prompt with our email communication.
