It went well. Project was explained to us, quote provided and services were great. From Missy in the office to working with Chuck has been a wonderful experience. Both were very professional. In the future we will be using them to also seal the driveway new and already existing driveway. Sealing the already existing driveway was originally planned for this spring but we as homeowners needed to push the date into the future for next spring.
Description of Work: Widening of the driveway to make a double versus single car driveway

Bill would send me a text before and after he did any work. He explained everything really well, and more importantly anything i had to make a decision on. He separated part costs from labor very clearly in the final invoice. He got everything done way before the deadline, and seemed to take great care in his work. I will be sending his contact information to my friends and family. I will be using his services again.
Description of Work: I own a rental property that needed a rather long list of oddjobs, and fixes to pass a city inspection. I emailed Bill the list and he began the next morning on assessing quick fixes versus what he would have to order parts for. He was incredibly efficient with time, letting me know what he was getting accomplished, and decisions i needed to make on parts and whatnot. He would shoot me a text message when he started work, and also when he finished. He would send an email at the end of the day (with pictures) everything that was completed. Some examples on the list: * Plumbing - he fixed the water pressure problem in the kitchen sink * Electrical - he fixed a relay switch on the laundry dryer, as well as handled an issue i had with my gfci outlets in the kitchen. (He even went out of his way to label my circuit box and confusing gfci outlet.) * Cleaning - He removed a ton of debris (during the snow/ice no less) * Fixes - I had a window that would not stay open, and was difficult to lock. He fixed that. He fixed the closet door hinges in the bedroom. He fixed * Installed two Carbon Monoxide sensors for me on two different floors. *Painted - He painted a large section of wall in the basement.

Description of Work: I haven't listed a date or cost of service because I can't recall the exact information. Over the past 6 years or so I've used Bill Prehn (pronounced "Prane) for many jobs, including the following: |- installation of vinyl siding on a cinder block house; |-installation of a sump pump and drains (completely solved my basement flooding); |- repair of roof leak; |- gutter repair; and |- misc. handyman tasks (grouting, door jamb repair, etc.). |Bill and his crew have done an excellent job on all projects, and their prices are very reasonable. Bill's punctuality is amazing. He always arrives on the dot. I trust Bill to do a great job on each project, large or small.

The job started with me receiving several estimates. Bill Prehn was not the lowest estimate but the lowest estimate did not meet my schedule and did not build what I actually wanted done. Bill's was not the highest estimate either, but he had more finish features in his estimate than the highest estimate did. They broke ground quickly. Unlike some contractors who start a job and then leave and return Bill and crew were working most every day. They were considerate of not disrupting my yard or the rest of my house. Each worker was kind, polite, and skilled. There were smal glitches along the way but Bill always explained them to me fully and outlined two or three options for each. As the work progressed they were very respectful of the remainder of my house and of not disrupting things. All along the way Bill would give regular updates which were very helpful. There was never pressure for payment although I was never late. The last payment was expected when the job was done and was given. After the job was completed I did not hesitate in contacting Bill with questions or concerns and he always promptly and accurately replied. No problems.
Description of Work: Bill Prehn added an addiiton to my home. The addiiton was two stories and included a finished room on the top and a utility room underneath. We faced a deadline as my recent marraige increased my family size by 2 children. Bill and crew handled all the details of the work and got the necessary approval from our county government.

One person did the drywall while the other tackled the more tedious job of centering and hanging the pictures and mirror. Both did a very good job.
Description of Work: Drywall repair, touch-up paint and molding replacement (from a previous toilet installation). Hung 8 pictures and a mirror.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH HIS PERFORMANCE AND WORK. HE PERFORMED HIS JOB IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER, AND LEFT EVERY THING CLEANED UP. HE IS A VERY EFFICIENT WORKER.
Description of Work: I ASKED MR. PREHN TO REPLACE THE OLD HAND RAIL WITH ALL NEW MATERIAL. THE RAIL LOOKED ALMOST LIKE THE OLD ONE, AS HE DID A GOOD JOB OF REPLICATION.
