Ron was dependable and did great work. He arrived on time and worked with my rather tight schedule to get the jobs done as quickly as possible. We had some time delays on the kitchen door due to bad weather, but someone showed up to replace the door as soon as weather permitted. His quotes for the work were fair and reasonable. One of the doors that was installed was really tight and grew very sticky when the weather warmed up and got more humid. I called Ron to discuss the problem and he came out and fixed it right away. My washing machine was leaking so I called Ron to come fix it. The plumbing issue turned out to be a lot more significant than he originally thought but he managed to repair it. He did not charge me more for the extra time and effort it took to fix it. Ron was professional and punctual and his prices are fair. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again for more handyman services.

They did come out right away when I called them to give me an estimate. I was supposed to give some information to them. I wasn?t able to give the information to them because I am going through some legal action right now with a previous contractor. However, they did respond properly to my request to come out and look. The guy who came out didn?t give me the estimate in writing because I didn?t give him other information that he needed. I didn?t do so since I didn?t get it back from the Consumer Regulatory Affair. I called to ask if they would come out. Mr. Breeden responded within 2 working days. He came out and did look at my home and did indicate what could be done and what he could do. He had to have some measurements to give me a figure. He didn?t take the measurements, but he seemed extremely knowledgeable of certain things that had not been done since it?s an old house which was built in 1927. There were areas that were open in my home. He did give me some information, but he didn?t say as to how much it would cost. I had a contractor that came in and left me with some incomplete work on our kitchen and bathroom. So, I wanted to know if he could come in to have a look at my kitchen and to tell me what was wrong with it. He needed to cut down a wall because the previous contractor had built a wall that was too high. He had put in a bathroom that was wrong and the drywall wasn?t put up right. So, he was going to have to tear down a knee wall and he had to renovate my kitchen. It also included electrical work. He said that he had an electrician that worked with him. The electrical work had already been done, but we were not too sure with the electrical work because the previous contractor didn?t pull the permit. I wasn?t aware of it, since I was in the hospital. The plumber and the electrician who had worked on the house before were supposed to pull the permit and not the home owner. I had informed Mr. Breeden that I really couldn?t do any work in this house without pulling permits. He had also indicated that there could be a problem sometimes in pulling permits in the District of Columbia. However, I insisted that the permit be pulled. Finally we didn?t follow through and we didn?t get a finished project.

I was not pleased with them. Their timeliness about calling back and giving the estimate was not good. Their estimate was very high. I like their attitude on coming out to give the estimate but they did not respond at the time promised to give me the estimate. I would not use them in future.

He was fairly prompt. I had a fairly good experience with him as far as being professional.

Ron is a soft spoken, get to the point type of guy. I found him easy to work with. He's been doing this kind of work for years and I trusted him with my project. He and his co-worker Slim did most of the work. There was one other guy who did the electrical work. Ron was responsive and always called me back within 24 hours. This was my first renovation and numerous questions/changes of plan came up. Ron was patient with me as I made decisions and explained everything very clearly to me. He cost a little bit more than I would have liked but the final product turned out great. I had a bad experience with a previous contractor and always felt comfortable with Ron. I had all my blueprints and plans complete before I hired him. He basically executed a very specific plan for me. If you're looking to do a renovation I think that's the way to go. He's an honest, trustworthy and hard working guy.

We had a variety of tasks to be done in our older vintage house by this two-person team. Mr. Breeden and his colleague have a wide knowledge of plumbing and electrical systems and general remodeling issues,which is important in an older house that has had many previous renovations. Mr. Breeden analyzed and solved any problems encountered, explained clearly what needed to be done, and made appropriate and cost-effective suggestions. They were flexible about any time constraints I had. He gave me a reasonable time estimate and complied with it. I also appreciated that the business owner himself did a significant amount of the work and reviewed his colleague's work daily. Personable and friendly. Meticulous clean-up.

Excellent - from start to finish. Advised on where to locate W/D, how best to vent, etc.

Very knowledgeable about best way and place to install. I got estimates from 6 other plumbing/remodeling companies. Some suggested installations that would have violated building codes. Ron was very pleasant, professional and straightforward. I really enjoyed working with him, and would hire again.

Ron is a careful and thorough carpenter/tile layer/plumber and easy to work with (very patient). It took longer than we had hoped, but the end product is everything we wanted. We have used Ron often throughout the past 20 years and are familiar with his work for our family in the area. He is neat and cleans up the work area before he leaves each day.

Ron can be counted on to do quality work. Our kitchen is a show place, beautifully constructed and wearing well -- all thanks to Ron.

He was 45 minutes late but when he arrived did the jobs very quickly - he was only in the house 45 minutes altogether. The price was better than I had expected since he quoted an hourly rate after the first half hour, but he did break it down.

I was very pleased. The leaking facets were a bit of a challenge since they are a rare model. Breeden went the extra mile to find the right solution.
