Response from PERAU ASSOCIATES INC
We never received a phone call from this member. Perhaps they are mistaking my company with another company they called that did not return their phone call. We always return phone calls... it's a courtesy.

Peter responded to our email in one business day, came over to evaluate the work within two, and scheduled the work for 1.5 weeks after we accepted the proposal. He arrived on-time, got right to work, and finished the work in a surprisingly quick 5 hours. He even went out of his way to patch and prime two small holes that were near the closet opening. After the work was completed my partner said "oh, so he didn't have to drywall?" Of course, he did have to drywall, but the work was of such fine quality that it was impossible to tell what was new. Peter was extremely pleasant throughout the process, and even suggested some tips for future projects. We we're so impressed with the work, that I contacted Peter a week later to perform some drywall repair after a recent leak.
Description of Work: We requested an estimate for installing a bi-fold door in an oddly-shaped closet opening in our basement. Our initial thought was to have a 48" door resized to fit the 40.5" opening. However, Peter suggested shrinking the closet opening to 36" to fit a standard 36" bi-fold door. Brilliant! This would require studding and drywalling the opening to make it smaller, trimming the bottom of the door, mudding, sanding and priming the new drywall, installing new baseboard, and priming the door. We were in the process of repainting the room, so we did not ask him to paint.

Peter is very prompt to return my call, comes down in a very reasonable amount of time, and is very trustworthy. He does a very good job with whatever he is fixing. I've been using him for 20 years. He is very professional and he is the guy that I call when I need something done.
Description of Work: He did handyman work, fixed locks that were broken, fixed doors and screens, and just fixed everything that needed to be done.

We dealt with only one man from start to finish. He scheduled us for about 10 days forward, arrived on schedule, and completed in one full day. Did a very good job and was professional and clean throughout. This was the second time we used his services and once again were very pleased.
Description of Work: Repair of water damaged wall in living room. A little challanging since it involved existing wall of irregular plastered masonry and sheet rock. We requested only priming paint.

When I first was looking for a contractor, Peter was the first to get back to me with a phone call to schedule an estimate, and gave us the estimate within 2 days of coming to our home. He was able to schedule the actual home improvement within a couple of weeks from the estimate (which was about the same time another company said they could make it in to even give us an estimate). Peter arrived on time and was very professional. He did an excellent job with boxing off the stairwell; it looks like it was always meant to be boxed off and drywalled. He even cleaned our vacuum cleaner!! He also answered some questions I had about fixing up other areas of my house; giving me advice on how I could do projects myself, which will save me money. I appreciated Peter's professionalism and quality work and would definitley recommend him to a friend. Another note about price; we had another contractor give us an estimate for the same job; their estimate was $700 higher than Peter's. I'm so glad we went with Peter. We got a better price and the quality was excellent.
Description of Work: We had floating stairs between the 1st and 2nd level of our home and he boxed off the stairs and put drywall in on the "underside" of the stairs.

Excellent experience. Peter responded very quickly to my request for an estimate. He showed up when he said he would and did an excellent job installing my shutters. He made a point of checking with me during the installation process to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I was very satisfied with Peter's work and would definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: Installed 9 sets of shutters on a 2-story brick-faced house. The old shutters had already been removed.

He did a great job. He charged by the hour. To me that seemed expensive. If that's what everyone is charging then it is expensive but standard. I would say his price was moderate. The quality of work was excellent. I would consider using him in the future.
Description of Work: I had Perau Associates do screen repair and some woodwork for me. I had squirrels coming inside my screened in porch. I guess they got tired of being outside. He fixed the screening and also put a wood base around the perimeter of the porch to make it harder for them to come in.

He does anything for me that has to do with drywall repair, screen repair when I had squirrels getting in, and getting my rental property ready for a new tenant, for which he had to work on the toilets, doors, yard clean-up, and various other handyman type work. He does a really nice job on everything, and he is extremely honest. I feel perfectly comfortable giving him a key and letting him work without me there. He is very personable and professional, and I have been very happy with him.
Description of Work: Peter has been doing handyman services for me for around 10 or 15 years.

Peter returned our email query rapidly (next day) and made an appointment for the estimate. He arrived promptly and inspected the job thoroughly. He then wrote up invoices for two scenarios (one for a cosmetic repair and one for thorough repair). We opted for the more thorough repair and made an appointment for the work to be completed on Dec. 31. He arrived on time and continued to work until the job was done, despite cold and windy weather. While doing the work, he found that one board was not damaged and only needed repainting. He lowered the invoice amount $50 to reflect this. He cleaned up the job site. The job looked very good. Peter is a highly professional and responsible handyman and I would hire him again and recommend him to my friends.
Description of Work: Peter removed rotten boards from porch eaves, pillar base and exterior window frames, replaced the boards, matched the existing paint color and painted the new boards. He also fixed an external electrical outlet.
