It went fine.
Description of Work: Doug came over and repaired fascia siding on upper floor that blew apart in the windstorm we had. He came over when agreed and repaired issue. He followed up next day to see all was well, which it was. I also asked him to comment on some light fixtures and garage door possibly replace in the future. He also wrote his comments on these issues on the invoice. Good service.

He has also never returned or responded in any way to my subsequent phone calls.

Doug and his service did a fantastic job. They charged true to the estimates, performed the work in a very timely matter, and didn't leave any mess behind. He even gave my father some extra helpful tips about doing other minor repairs on the house. Overall, my experience with Doug's Handyman Service was awesome. I would definitely use him in the future and recommend him to others.

Doug and his son came the day after I called because of a leaky toilet supply line. They installed a new line and a new toilet at the same time. They picked up the new toilet of our choice at Home Depot on their way to our house at no extra charge to us, sold us the toilet at cost, and only charged $65 to install the toilet, $7 to replace the supply line, and $4.50 to replace the flapper on another toilet! (That toilet installation price is MUCH better than the $175 we paid another plumber to install a different toilet last fall!) Doug and his son were courteous and friendly. I will definitely use them again if I have the need. Because Doug is a handyman with several skills, I have asked him to provide a bid to patch cracks in, and paint, our living room walls and cathedral ceiling.
Description of Work: Replaced an old toilet and supply line and repaired the flapper in another toilet.

Dough and his team are very professional. Everything was done on time, at no extra cost that quoted before hand and the crew cleaned up after themselves. I love the new finished space in my basement. I would call Dough again anytime I need Handymen services around the house.

The O rings in our whirlpool tub dry rotted from lack of use. Needing to use the tub for medical reasons caused water leaking from the second floor all the way to the basement. We had a young plumber come out to take a look at it who was clueless. The plumber wanted to punch a hole in our kitchen ceiling just to see what what happening...mind you he was not going to fix the hole. Doug came out the next day, took a look at the whirlpool jets, told us the O rings were dry rotten and tub need to be replaced. He also told us we do not need to punch a hole in the ceiling. We need to find and order a tub about the same size. He could do the install for $500 but because of my medical condition (and that I didn't need to use the tub any longer) he recommended we wait until I could tolerate the mess that would come with the installation of the new tub. We plan on using Doug to do the work this summer. If I am still a member of Angie's list, I will give you an update! :)
Description of Work: Gave us an estimate on fixing the whirlpool tub in our master bathroom.

Overall, great. Doug always came on time, estimated the time it would take him. We agreed on a price range since this was a "mystery" job. It seemed to me to be complicated, but he knew what he was doing. His estimate came well within the range we discussed, he and his assistant were very professional, competent, and extremely tidy. I highly recommend him. I only used him on a plumbing project, but wouldn't hesitate to call him for the other kinds of work he does. A VERY satisfying experience in getting a complicated problem fixed.
Description of Work: Repair/replace water pipes due to blockage in a 67-year-old home. The water pipes in homes built in this era were snaked through the house with little or no access. It was a mystery job from the start to find the problem. Doug was able to identify the path of the pipes with accuracy that only required knocking through two plaster walls. He replaced the cold water pipes (the problem) and also replaced the hot water pipes since they were exposed. He then repaired the holes which included rebuilding cove trim to a point where I can do the painting etc. required. A beautiful job.

Doug showed up right on time, accessed the attic, mounted the fixture, ran the electrical and even gave me two separate switches - one to control the fan and one to control the light. He did a beautiful job and cleaned up after himself. He even noticed a leak in the attic while he was up there and traced down it's source for me so that I could have the condo association repair it. Also offered free advice on my furnace thermostat while he was there. Doug goes above and beyond what you expect.
Description of Work: Doug installed a ceiling fan in a condo master bedroom with cathedral ceiling. Originally there was no fixture there at all.

I called Doug and reached him on my cell phone. He agreed to meet me the next day to take a look at the outlet for me, informing me there would be a transportation charge on a small job like this. I agreed, he arrived at the appointed time the next day, and took care of the outlet for me. He was punctual, professional, and very fair in his pricing. I couldn't have gotten an electrician from a company to even agree to come out for such a small job, but there was a definite sign of overheating on the outlet and Doug agreed it needed to be looked at.
Description of Work: Checked an electrical outlet which had signs of burning.
