Always excellent work and will do what it takes to make it right.
Description of Work: I've been using this company for years and didn't realize they were on Angie's List. I highly recommend them for just about any project; woodwork is their specialty. What is good about this company is they will adjust their estimate for the job's quality requirement. In other words, I just redid a part of our basement because of a flood and his task was to match the woodwork and provide fantastic quality...they did and at an excellent price. In contrast, for some resale properties I've had, I asked for okay quality at a discounted price. The still provided excellent quality and a fantastic price. The best part of this company is that they will tell you no. If they cannot do the job you want because they're not sure they will meet your expectations, they will turn down the job. I trust this company and John completely!

Very difficult to get a hold of business proprietor. Final work took longer to complete because of scheduling problems based on difficulty in reaching owner. Work was not done by proprietor himself but by someone he dropped off and picked up. Cannot recommend this business based on my experience.
Description of Work: Had minor carpentry work that nevertheless, required, some careful thought before final execution.

I had the handyman from Hell and John rescued me. He is very clean-cut and he is very honest. When he had to go buy things to do the job, he bought them and charged me later rather than asking me to front the money before he started the job. He was very conscientious about the work that he did and he made sure that we were on the same page about everything that needed to be done.
Description of Work: John Couls is the handyman I use from Your Honest Handyman. He's done varied things for me like painting, scraping, fixing a rusty vent, repairing the deck, patching concrete, and power washing the driveway and patio. I don't believe that they do mechanical contracting but I understand John can do roofing.

The finished roof did not pass inspection and Mr. Couls is aware of this ( beam heads to be doubled and supported to footings). The pad is not finished. While putting up the roof they ripped a hole in the siding. Mr Couls does not respond to my phone calls. I had a builder look at the roof and he said the only way to correct this is to take it down and start over. He said not to take his word for it and have other contractors look at it which I intend to do. As for the top and bond it was a quick fix for some crumbling spots on the steps and I don't know how it will hold up. Mr. Couls had done some work for me in the spring. Pressure cleaned and painted the deck, cleaned out gutters, and replaced a closet door. All of that went well (except I have asked him several times to put the knob back on the closet door and he still hasn't done that). I was comfortable with Mr. Couls and he assured me that they do decks and roofs over them all the time.
Description of Work: Build roof (12ft x 10ft) over deck. Install 8ft x 5 ft pad at rear of garage, Installed 2 coats of top and bond concrete topper over front steps.
