BUSY BEE CONTRACTORS

He was horrible. He came out for the estimate with no tape measure, no clip board and no place to write on. He didn't seem like he's got his stuff together. I felt like he had some issues with alcohol. We told him what was involved so he comes and I show him around and he pulls out a piece of paper and a pencil from his pocket and he was scribbling down notes. When I took him outside to look at the shed, he wouldn't walk over to the shed. He told me he could see it from where he was standing. I thought that was odd because I didn't know how he could be able to get an estimate if he didn't physically go over and look at it. When I told him to help me with the concrete planter, he told me that was something simple I could do. That I should go and buy a five pound jack hammer and then break it up. He was pretty quick to call back when we contacted him and he was on time to show up.

Tad has my phone number, address and email address. After one week had passed and I did not receive the email estimate as was agreed upon, I called and spoke to him. He said he was going to catch up over the weekend and I should have it then. It is now exactly one month and I have had no communication from Tad or anyone else at Busy Bee. It is totally unprofessional to waste my time of meeting with him at my house to go over my project and then waiting for him to give me an estimate. Zero communication from him mean zero work from me now and in the future.

It went well. They ere prompt and the job was well done. They wanted to argue a little about what should be caulked but quickly changed their position and did the job just as we had asked.

I left a message with the wife, and she said she would have him call me. An entire week later, I have still yet to hear from them.

Great. not only created a new doorway through the back of a closet but finished it off in a clean neat way. Cleaned up all debrise. Very professional, polite and on time

It went very well. I am overly satisfied with their work. They came earlier than the scheduled time and assembled all the furniture (Queen size bed, 6 chest drawer, 2 drawer nightstand and mirror) in a very less time. They even fixed an existing problem in my closet door, which was not in their list. They have given me additional service ! I am very happy with their work. I am planning to get a few more furniture and will definitely call them to assemble.

The chimney cap on my roof came loose in a bad storm. To secure it was a very small job, but one that I could not do. I contacted Busy Bee which Angie's List indicated was close to me. Busy Bee indicated that they were willing to do the small job and quoted a price. We set a time for a few days later. On the appointment day, Busy Bee arrived on time, maybe even a little early. He was neat and courteous. After a quick review of the situation, a ladder went up and the cap on my roof was re-fastened. He even added an extra screw to ensure that it would not come loose again.

Tad came out the evening of 5/24 to give us an estimate. He was punctual and very friendly. He recommended we replace our roof, although we indicated we would not be proceeding with that option at this time. He was able to give us a quote of $600 on the spot to repair the master bedroom leak, which seemed reasonable to us although we have not had work performed by anyone yet. The only part of the experience that was disappointing is that when I called his office to make the appointment I specifically told the (very nice) lady who set us up that we had cathedral ceilings in the places where the drywall was cracking. I was looking for a contractor that could handle both the roof work and the drywall. When Tad came out he explained that he is getting away from that work and could not help us with that portion. We won't be using him since he can not accommodate both repairs, and I felt badly that he had driven out for the estimate as a result. We would have not proceeded and saved him the trip if we had been told he didn't do that sort of work. I would call him in the future however for work he can perform, as the overall experience was positive.

He was very nice, came on time, took the old air conditioner away.

Great job and resonable price!!

He was very punctual, professional and responsive. He gave me suggestions to help me find the more ecomonimal solution. He was also very honest about what needed to be done. I could tell he was all about giving the best service at the best rates. I really appreciated his service.

He was very good and the price was very fair. The service quality was good and they were very professional.

The owner came to my house to give me an estimate to replace my bathroom vanity which had been damaged in a basement flood. He took about a week to get back to me with an estimate. His price was nearly double that of other estimates I had received. I took this as an indication he just didn't want the job for some reason. I'd probably consider asking him for an estimate in the future but if I got another one that high, I'd strike him off my list.

Tad and his son were great! I cannot overemphasize how thorough and efficient they were in their work. My wife and I are very pleased with the job they did. We will hire them again in the future.

I received no response when trying to contact these people. I suspect it is because I just needed some small jobs done, because the only handyman that responded told me that was probably the case; no sufficient money in it for them to even give me an estimate, let alone show up or do any work. That said, at least a response that they didn't want my business would have been helpful.

It went pretty well. Tad and his son did a very professional job. There was a little bit of a wait from the manufacturer to build both the front and storm doors. Other than that, I would highly recommend this company. As a matter of fact, I have asked them to install a new kitchen window in December.

Busy Bee did an outstanding job. They were prompt & courteous. The old door wasn't level and you could see slivers of light coming through the top and sides. Upon removal, they disposed of the old doors and materials. The new doors were level, installed extremely well and they are energy efficient and secure now. They went above and beyond. They truly did outstanding work that was professional and exacting in its standards.

It was a waste of our time having Busy Bee come out to quote the job. I wish he'd had been honest with me when I called him 2 weeks after his visit to our site and just told me that he wasn't interested in biding the job.

I was so impressed with Tad's knowledge and professionalism during our appointment for an estimate, that I scheduled an appointment for 2 days later to get the work done. As expected, Tad and his crew arrived on time and completed the repair the same day. He also provided lots of very helpful advice. I will definitely hire his company again for other handyman-type repairs around my house.

Everything was fine, the only thing I don't know is if the price was competitive. I took the first contractor that came by, that was not a smart thing to do. I would give the price an "A" unless I find out they over charged. I'm not sure if I would use them again.

Working with Busy Bee was a pleasure. The person I dealt with, who I believe is the owner of the company, was polite, responsive and extremely nice- a true gentleman. He let me know exactly when the work would be done and followed through with that schedule. I felt he dealt with pricing in an up-front and honest way. He was able to make a complete and accurate assessment of all the work and materials needed in one careful inspection. The work he did was meticulous and excellent. I would use Busy Bee again and have already recommended him to others.

It was very good. They came to my home and gave me an estimate, which was right on. They were very timely and they did good quality work. They picked up when they were finished.

I called on a Friday, got estimate and committed to job the following Tuesday. Work started the following Thursday, when he took down the old ceiling and installed new railings, and was completed the next day, when he installed 2x2 ceiling tiles and light. A slight delay because new florescent lights take a (new) T8 bulb, not the old T11 bulb. Work started at 10 a.m., finished around 3:30, giving me time for my pursuits morning and afternoon. Cleanup could have been better; there were some plaster bits underneath counters and such, but I could have done more clearing of the floor myself. He was friendly, quiet, efficient, professional, and concerned for safety in my somewhat suspicious neighborhood, careful to close and lock doors. He also, without my asking, fixed a hard-to-close door.

OUTSTANDING! They were nice, courteous, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

I really trust him. His prices and his workmanship are excellent.
