Doug's Handyman Service

Ran cable and calked kitchen and shower. Two men for two hours (?), |Didn't show first day. Called twice then cancelled until the next day. We waited the day before for hours. | |They said they cancelled the day before because they were on a job and hadn't finished and said "you would want me to do the same for you". | |As soon as their two hours were up here, they declined to stay for additional pay. Other jobs didn't get finished. We were disappointed. | |However the work they did was quality. I guess I had hoped for the same courtesy as they said was their reason the night before. | |I'm not sure of the exact date work was performed.

He was very professional and we will be using him in the future. Just not ready to do the work at this time.

Everything went perectly! Arrived on time (a bit early). Finished on time. Very friendly. Couldn't ask for more.

Provider had to spend time to get materials. I also had to pay for materials which i thought were more than they should have been.

It went great. Every time. Doug does not always answer the phone, but he always returns messages. They come when they say and do what they say they will do. What I liked in the beginning of our relationship, is they were the only ones to actually itemize the estimate, so that I knew what everything was and could pick and choose. They listened to my concerns and tailored the work accordingly. They did the small things, like fixing up the floor after the floor guy would not (or could not), but they also did the big thing like redoing the bathroom and Doug even went tile picking with me. It turned out beautiful. He actually went twice: when the first tile we picked arrived at the house and he was able to look at it, he called me and told me that he did not like the way it looked. So off we went to choose all new tile! He was right, it would have been awful. Now the ne bathroom looks like a million bucks. I will use them again and again. I already have projects in mind....

He responded quickly. I emailed him with the list of tasks including installing a window shade, repairing a wall with holes, hanging book shelves and other small tasks. He and his partner arrived on time with the necessary equipment. All tasks were completed to my satisfaction.

I have set up to have them do additional work.

They were prompt, professional, and kind. We'd hire them again. Thanks!

I left detailed information and questions to be address when the Big Deal was purchased. I never got a phone call from the contractor. Later, I reviewed the messages on the website. He stated that he did not have my phone number. In the event that anyone forgot to leave a phone number when purchasing a deal, it should prompt the contractor to secure the phone number form Angie's List. The person has already paid for the service, they just forgot to leave the phone number. Most importantly, this is how business is conducted if the contractor wants to discuss the job, timelines, process, supply needed information and secure supplies if needed. You can NOT do all of the via email conversations.

Doug and his associate did a nice job. They arrived early and were pleasant and professional. I would have them back at anytime. Thanks guys.

Doug arrived at the appointed time, checked out what I needed done and told me he could fix the windows. We set a date for the repair and he showed up again, on time. The only negative I would have was his smoking. He has since performed another job for me and is coming today for some plumbing repair.

Doug was great - suggested solid color stain to cover the "age" of the deck. The showed up when they said they would and we are very happy with the results.

Called for an estimate to have some painting and repairs done on garage doors, windows and trim. Did not even return my call. Apparently my job was too small for him to worry about. Customers still deserve a call back so they are not left waiting and wondering if they should call someone else. Very unprofessional treatment of customers....

Doug called me the night before the projects. I liked that he didn't have to come for an estimate first. We talked about the projects, and he showed up the next day with the tools he would need. I bought Angie's hot deal ---3 hours of service for $150. I was very glad that I did not have to spend additional monies on the projects. On the downside, he was having crew issues and spent a lot of time on the phone, for which he apologized. And he left after 2 1/2 hours without assessing my dryer wiring, which was discussed in our phone conversation.

Really well. I had to run out to Home Depot & KSI to get parts to ensure a good fit for the new counter-top & cabinet, but I was able to do it and not cause a delay with their work. It took 3 hours for the two of them to complete ($99 - Angie's Deal which only covered 1 1/2 hours for two.) and they only charged $99 for the labor overage. I was extremely satisfied with their work and the value for my money!

I had a water leak on the second story. The leak was fixed by a plumber but had to cut a 2x2 access hole in the drywall to repair it. Additionally he cut a 2x2 hole in the 1st floor ceiling where the water damage occurred. I have had the materials for the small bath remodel for quite some time and just have not had the time to hire a contractor to do the job. Doug was brought in for a bid on the project. He gave us an estimate and was able to get us on his schedule almost immediately. This was great as I'm in the process of selling the house and needed to have the work done prior to the realtor taking pictures the following week. The original job was only to do the bathroom remodel and patch the drywall holes. We added in extra painting and some other small odd jobs that Doug was more than happy to complete. Doug showed up everyday when he said he was going to be there and detailed what he was going to get done that day while he was there. He made sure to cleanup each day on his way out. The work he performed was great, I couldn't be happier with the tile work and finished bathroom. The painting looks great throughout the house as well. While Doug was here, there was a storm and I had a tree blow over. Doug helped cut the tree up and get it to the curb for haul away. Overall, Doug is a great guy and does great work. He is friendly, clean and good at what he does. I would gladly recommend Doug for just about any work you need done around your house!

Doug was on time and did everything I asked him to do.

Called for information on a small job. Provider didn't have the courtesy to call me back.

He did good quality work, everything looks great, he showed up on time, he explained everything to me and gives me his very honest opinion.

Overall, the experience was excellent. Doug and his helper were very prompt and completed the initial work (prior to the granite top installation) in a very efficient and workmanlike manner. The communications were important as I needed to coordinate the kitchen work between Doug and the granite counter top installers. I discovered that he doesn't always respond to email communication, however, he was quick to get back with me when I called his cell phone. Doug himself wasn't able to come out for hooking up our plumbing after our new counter tops were installed due to a vacation. However, he indicated that he would contact his assistant, Jeff, to do the plumbing work. Jeff contacted me the day before they were to come out and indicated that he would in fact be there. He called again the next morning and indicated that he was running just a little late. The final plumbing work by Jeff and Tony went well... no leaks. We were very happy to have running water again in the kitchen! I would definitely consider using Doug again for other jobs around the house.

I had purchased the three hour handyman special. I was very pleased with Jeff. Made sure everything was working perfectly and I would gladly use them again.

When I answered my door, Doug introduced himself, handed me his business card and introduced his worker. Doug asked me to show him what was needed. I did and they went straight to work. After they were done, Doug asked me to review the work for approval. They did a wonderful job and completed in a timely manner. I will definitely call Doug again for other projects in my home.

Two men came out, very friendly, hung some pictures, a dining room light fixture, curtain rod. Were very nice and friendly and did a nice job.

Showed up on time, did a good job, very diligent. He also pointed out the need to wash an area I had previously thought was clean. The only negative was he didn't arrive with enough gas and had to go get more. And then he ended up asking me to give him some in addition. Not a big deal, but something for him to work on.

He was excellent. He treats your house like it is his house, and he takes a lot of pride in what he does - and so do the men that work with him. They were super super guys. I have already recommended him to some friends.
