We hired David and Matthew?s Dad to install flooring in our attic in August 2015. On August 28, 2015, David Young, Sr. and his son dislodged two pieces of PVC piping from each other in our attic while installing floor boards. The disconnected PVC piping leaked water through the attic floor to the bathroom located on the floor below. When we found the leak the following evening, the ceiling of the bathroom had been completely soaked through, damaging the bathroom?s ceiling and the insulation between the two floors. We had to call a water remediation company and a plumber immediately to remediate the damage. The costs we incurred to reattach the pieces of PVC piping and to remediate the water damage to the attic floor and bathroom ceiling were significant--$1,075 in aggregate deductibles with our home insurance company and home warranty company. Because the Youngs? actions caused significant water damage to our home, and we had already paid them in full for the work they had done in our attic to install flooring, we asked, on multiple occasions, that they or their insurance company reimburse us for these deductibles. They have refused to do so. Consequently, we feel compelled to submit this negative review of their work and to request the assistance of Angie's List in resolving this dispute.
Description of Work: David and Matthew's Dad installed floor boards in our attic.

Response from David and Matthew's Dad
This issue has been disputed for some time now, in fact it has gone thru the clients homeowners insurance and my liability insurance company and as far as I know they determined that we were not liable for the repairs. Before discussing details I want to make it clear that when we were notified of the leak we offered to come back and evaluate what had happened, they refused our offer and, less than a day after the leak started, called a Mold Remediation Company. Mold remediation companies only have two courses of action. One-do nothing (rare) Two- Rip out everything that saw even a drop of water. Have you ever spilled a glass of water on your carpet, it soaks the carpet, the padding and the subfloor…..Did you rip it all out? No. Now details. their complaint states that we "dislodged" joints in pvc pipe, specifically the condensate drain from the attic air handler. It is impossible to dislodge pvc joints, they are solvent welded together and the pipe will crack and break before the joints come apart no matter how hard you try UNLESS the pipe was never installed properly and the installer failed to ever glue the joints which without doubt is the case here as the client stated that the plumber they hired had to fix 4 or 5 joints. I have consulted professional HVAC companies, there is no circumstance in which pvc drains would be left unglued, further I suggested to he client how to look up the original installer of the unit thru the county permits In summary if I walk up to your house to ring your doorbell and your front porch falls off the house because the installer never secured it to the foundation Please contact the person who installed the porch (or in this case the AC)

David does many different jobs and did great work; we are hiring him again! There were many unforseeable bumps along the way but David made sure that all issues that came up were addressed thoroughly to our satisfaction. The projects took longer than anticipated, but he came weekends and in the evenings to finish things and I preferred it to be done correctly than quickly. David is honest. He notified me about a chip in the tub that he figured must have happened during his work and said he would repair it; I then happily told him the chip had been there when we bought the house and that I appreciated his honesty. His bill was true to his estimate, even though he put in many more hours work than he had originally anticipated. He is his own boss and takes pride and ownership of his work. We have recommended him to several friends.
Description of Work: 1) pulled up tile in bathroom, redid moldy boards on flood under toilet and retiled bathroom 2) leveled part of backyard, built fence and installed 2 level playhouse.

He explained what he was doing and solved the problem of getting the fireplace remote to communicate with the receiver in the fireplace. We didn't use it much, however, and I don't ascribe the fact that it was not working a year later to the quality of his work. Also tangential: I left a message (May 2013) about a different job -- mounting a large muti-room A/C unit in a window -- and did not get a return call.
Description of Work: He got a gas-fireplace remote to work.

David responded quickly to my initial call and stopped by to look at the job and provide an initial estimate. We agreed upon a time for him to do the work, he arrived as scheduled, and inspected and replaced caulking above three windows, around the front door, and at the joint at the joint between the front steps and the house. He said that a siding channel above a copper roof where some of the water intrusion occurred needed drain holes and offered to return later with the proper ladder to drill them at no added charge. He originally estimated 2 hours for the job; it took slightly more than that, but he charged for only two ours. Overall, I was very pleased with his knowledge, professionalism, skill, and punctuality. I'd hire him again without hesitation.
Description of Work: After experiencing water intrusion into my house during Hurricane Sandy above several windows and between the foundation and the wall plate, I wanted possible points of entry recaulked to try to prevent a recurrence.

I contacted them on a weekend, and got an almost immediate reply. I said I was not in any rush, but they offered to come over first thing Monday morning at 9AM. They even discounted their normal minimum charge of $150 down to $105 because I was very near by. They arrived a bit late, but completed the job quickly, and did a nice job. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I had them reattach a piece of fascia covering that had been blown off from a storm. Small job, but up higher than I wanted to deal with.

I received an email with the cost estimate that same evening David came to my house to see the list of work I wanted performed. I made an apppointment for them to come and do the work a couple of days later. David and his son arrive within the timeframe expected and I went off to work to leave them to their job. When I returned home the work was complete in a professional manner with only some dusting and light vacuuming left for me to do, about what is expected after having holes drilled in your walls. I will definitely hire David again.

Quick response.............he explained his proposal and how it would help........gave me an estimate, which was maybe 1% or 2% different than his final bill. I think the work took 1 or 2 days............cleanup was prompt and complete............at no point did I feel pressured to start..........he explained the situation & I fully believed the work was necessary.
Description of Work: Dave Young came out initially to fix a broken attic fan and/or switch. While in the attic, he noticed excessive moisture build-up on the plywood roof sheathing...( I could see myself some discoloraton of the plywood.......... perhaps the start of some mold ). Dave suggested replacing the attic fan _( which wasn't working), and additional measures to vent moisture from the attic: A large ridge vent along the peak of the roof, and quite a few circular vents in the soffit. I knew from observing other houses that the ridge & soffit vents were pretty standard, and that my house had neither-( just one louvre in both gable ends). I felt this work would extend the roof life, as well as be a selling point when we eventually put it up for sale.

David replied promptly to my email inquiry and visited my office within a few days to make an estimate. He investigated the first issue - malfunctioning fluorescent light - and quickly diagnosed a problem that I could fix myself. Then he investigated the second issue - non-functioning outdoor light - and diagnosed that problem. He made time to return to finish fixing the outdoor light within a week. David was quite personable and, although busy, was able to accommodate my schedule. Although I found him to be expensive, his prices are not really out of the ordinary.

David came and knew exactly what the issue was. He reset the tube connecting the dishwasher to the sink and in a matter of minutes he had the issue fixed. He was pleasant, professional and took care of the job without issues. I've actually made another to-do list and will be calling him very soon to tackle a couple more jobs.

Great. The time he took seemed needed. Since problem-solving was crucial (and easier for me to evaluate than workmanship beyond the obvious, I was extremely satisfied. The guy was friendly and open to input as well -- always a plus.
Description of Work: I needed to get the remote to talk to the gas log fireplace. This required disassembling the control box on the fireplace, using the instructions, and (the one thing I had not been able to do myself) figuring out exactly where the problem was.

Very pleased with work. Things look nice and no sign of leaks from copper pipes or from relocated drain. David came when he said he would, gave us a good price, and is a very pleasant person to deal with.
Description of Work: Removed old shower and installed new. Old was original one piece which has a patched hole in the base. Job required relocation of drain and new sheetrock. While wall was open, replaced copper water pipes (which are prone to pinhole leaks in this area). Also, replaced old toilet and tiled shower area.
The work was fantastic! He made several helpful suggestions that resulted in me saving a bit of money. I received several estimates to install the new fireplace surround, all of which were quite expensive. David came up with a solution for only $100 that looks amazing. I would highly recommend him to others and will continue to use him in the future.
Description of Work: David did several general handyman jobs as I was selling my home (painting, electrical and plumbing repairs, fireplace surround installed, etc).

David sets himself a high work standard completely in line with my expectations. His initial estimates were accurate. He arrived on time, worked diligently without interruption while on site and cleaned up after himself each day. I shall have no hesitation in calling on David again; however, I expect to move out of the area and so that is unlikely. Most of David's work was to address neglected tasks in preparation of selling our house. As David finished tasks, we found more for him to do as he was so versatile. In each case he gave us an accurate estimate before undertaking the work.
Description of Work: Over a period of several weeks David Young performed a number of repairs/maintenance tasks on our Potomac home. These involved, but were not limited to, painting, dry wall repair, carpentry (e.g., deck repair), plumbing, and electrical tasks.
