The work went great. Phil showed up on time as promised and went to work. I was out of town and gave Ryan had a key to get into the house. They did a great job with everything I asked them to do. The floors turned out great. The basement ceiling tiles and basement work was also done well and everything was clean and put back together. I would recommend Ryan's company to others.

Phillip stopped by examined the exterior of my house and in addition to the chimney siding he showed me some lower levels of siding that were water logged and in need of replacement. He assembled a quote and presented it and we agreed on a date for him to come out and perform the work. I agreed to purchase the wood primer and paint. I requested that replaced pieces be primed and painted upon completion. When Phillip came back out to perform the job he was on time and started by prepping the cedar wood panels he brought. He replaced one layer of panel and then came to tell me that the remaining siding was all rotted out and would need replacing. He started to pull apart the siding on the bottom of the chimney and showed me the lack of insulation and fact that everything was waterlogged and needed replacement. He never put things back the way he found them but left nails hanging out of my chimney siding. I was very upset by his determination especially since he had previously come out to provide the quote. I told him to stop immediately and at this point he called his supervisor, Ryan and owner of the business. Ryan decided that based on what Phillip had done so far, and after spending 4 hours at my home, I should simply pay $150 for the cedarwood and so I did. I also asked that they measure the entire house for replacement siding and that I preferred vinyl or aluminum instead of wood. Phillip stayed behind for about an hour and took measurements. I was also disappointed because he did not completely clean up after himself and he also left my replacement panels unpainted. Despite reaching out to Ryan and informing him that I had not received my quote (over 1.5 months ago), I have not heard back from Greenleaf. When I contacted Ryan and informed him I was not happy with the delay in quote he informed me Phillip had been sick. Till this day I have still not received a quote and I am out $223 plus the cost of my painting supplies.

Also the deal was to prime and paint any replacement pieces and that was not fulfilled. I have two out of place slabs on the side of my house that have been primed but not painted and crumbled wood shavings all over the ground on the side of my home. Please let me know if you plan to provide me with a quote for vinyl siding since I am skeptical about going the wood route. If not, I need you to be honest and I can move on. I am about to complete your company review on Angie's List and right now it is not favorable. Also Phillip should have discovered the extent of the problem the first time he came to estimate the job and not after he had started it.

I have since had an insurance representative and other contractors stop by and the first thing they mentioned is how the wood panels were soaked all the way up. Second, if they were not capable of handling the job they should have said so and not pretended to come back with a quote or install vinyl or aluminum siding.

They were on time, neat, polite, and professional. They cleaned up as they did the work. The job included painting the trim and since they didn't have time to do that the same day, he sent his helper to do the painting the next Monday. They were both neat, polite and got the work done. I have hired them to replace my kitchen counter tops and kitchen sink, so I really would recommend them to anybody looking for someone honest and polite who does a great job.

Purchased the Big Deal to have a screen door and a couple window screens re-screened. Wasn't rocket science and could have no doubt done it myself. But we were in a time crunch with a big party we were hosting coming up and all my time was focused on completing several interior renovation projects in time for the party. So given the situation, $99 was well worth it to me to have someone else do the work. I have mixed feelings about this review. I doubt window re-screening is this company's "bread and butter" when it comes to the type of work they specialize in so i'm not sure a "good or bad" type review really benefits anyone considering this company. Instead, i'll just give my story. Ryan was able to accommodate my schedule by coming in the late evening, after I got home from work. He was prompt and professional. I let him do his thing. After reinstalling the repaired screens, I inspected the work and noticed that the new screen on the screen door was already starting to rip along the edges. I pointed it out to Ryan and without hesitation or attitude, took the screen door back off the track and re-screened it a second time. I inspected it again and it looked o.k. The two window screens he did were o.k. They are tall and narrow screens (approx. 15"W x 96"H) and the new screens were a little too tight so the frame kind of bowed in on the long side of the frame so much that daylight could be seen between the screen frame and the window casing. I didn't make an issue with this, because I know the screen will "relax" and stretch after awhile and so too will the frame (not to mention, it was late and he already re-screened the door twice). Ryan and I chatted a bit after he was done (I'm in construction too) and he left and I was satisfied. About a week later, I noticed that the screen door was starting to rip again along the edges. In one spot, the screen had actually slipped free of the compression gasket that holds it in place around the frame's perimeter. I called Ryan and again, without hesitation or attitude, he scheduled a time to come by and re-screen the screen door a 3rd time. He was again prompt and professional. And when he left, I was satisfied with the screen. A few weeks later, I noticed the screen was again ripping along the edges and working free from the gasketing. I didn't have the heart to call Ryan back again. I figured, after 3 unsuccessful attempts, I didn't want to be the very definition of insanity, expecting a different outcome with a 4th try! I've since gone to Home Depot and a local window and door company and it's clear that the screen material Ryan used was VERY low grade stuff. And the gasketing he used should have been a different size and type. This is my only beef. The local company charged me $30 to rescreen the screen door with high end screening and the proper gasketing. They even tightened the frame so now it opens and closes nice and crisply. Yes, I had to drop off the screen, wait a couple of days, and pick it back up, but come on...$30? I paid $99 for a screen door and two window screens. Knowing what I know now, at that cost, I would have expected higher grade materials to be used. In conclusion, I'm sure this company is probably a decent and competent interior renovations type company. But when it comes to window screen repairs, I recommend you have a windows and door company do it or take it to Home Depot and select the material and do the work yourself.

We purchased an Angie's List deal for Greenleaf. He was very prompt and did a good job with the molding and window treatments. It took a little longer than the time allotted in the deal, but was still a fair price overall.

He was pretty good at doing everything we asked him to do. Pricing was fair within the hourly chaege he said.

Ryan was very professional. He looked at all the items on my "to do list" and tackled them quickly and efficiently. Actually got more done than I expected. I'm very happy with the results - fixed things I hadn't thought fixable!

easy to work with and very timely I would recommend them

TV mounted over a fireplace - HDMI and power cables routed through plaster walls, around fireplace, down into basement and back up into room with an additional outlet. Plaster patched and painted - flawless. Excellent work. Also used left over plaster to repair some holes in my entry - without me asking - very nice!

Work was completed promptly and efficiently. Felt like I was getting an honest shake on the estimate as well. Plan to use Greenleaf for the bathroom later this spring.

Everything went very smoothly. The workman came in, assessed the job, went to get the materials, and did the repair in the time limit allotted with the coupon we purchased.

Greenleaf Home Services were good. They were able to do a job that was not too big but it was a little bit complicated. They were able to make adjustments and do the things they needed to do. It was more of a finish carpentry more than it was rough carpentry. Their price were a little bit high. They had an appointment with me which they forgot about after that things worked out fairly well.

They were great. They did everything right. They were here on time and they organized everything well. They did just a perfect job.

I was pretty happy with him. He indicated he can do other types of jobs such as woodwork but he mainly does electrical work at this time.

Ryan responded extremely fast to my phone call (within hours). He had to come to my home twice because I did not have the proper wall mount for the microwave, but still only charged me for the complete service as if it were completed all in same day. Microwave was installed expertly, even after he encountered some site specific issues. I would definitely recommend him for handymen services and plan on using him in the future.

He arrived on time and called ahead to let me know he was on his way. He very quickly installed the blinds and shades and repaired the sliding door. I had purchased the wrong hardware (and wrong shades) for additional windows and he drew a diagram for me of the correct hardware, and also measured the windows to make sure I got the correct thing. He offered to come back the next evening (night before Thanksgiving) and install the rest of the shades if I had time to get them. He is very pleasant and knowledgeable. He clearly is skilled and knows what he is doing. We discussed repairs in another room. He is the first person who presented me with a straightforward and uncomplicated solution to the problem. Because he also does remodeling I have asked him to come back and give an estimate on remodeling my kitchen.

Overall, my entire experience with Ryan was 5 out of 5 stars (see description).
