I have used Scott as my handyman for a number of years on various projects. I called him on Dec. 16 to let him know I needed help with a repair project for my Delta kitchen faucet and we made arrangements for him to do the work on Dec. 18. Scott arrived promptly and was very courteous, professional and helpful. I had replacement parts from Delta and Scott used the parts to fix my faucet. He also noticed that the faucet was a bit crooked (which was the way it was originally installed during a kitchen remodel years ago) and so he carefully worked under our sink (in a rather inconvenient location) to straighten the faucet. Just as Scott has done on many other projects he did the work efficiently and carefully and also instructed me regarding how the faucet replacement parts work. It was a relief to get the project completed before the holidays! I will definitely call Scott in the future when new projects arise.. He is honest, friendly, professional and efficient. I highly recommend Scott. He is a dependable, competent and knowledgable handyman.
Description of Work: Scott replaced a valve assembly and aerator on my Delta kitchen faucet.

handyman service, cabinet refacing

We had a small project (3-4 hrs) that we thought we could handle ourselves. We wanted to install stacked stone to the back of some built in open cabinets in our living room. After purchasing the stone, and assessing the project more objectively, we decided we needed the installation done by somebody with more experience. Angie's list was our resource for finding that person. I read the reviews and decided to contact Scott Dunn (Nicely Dunn Handyman Services). I left Scott a voice mail message and he returned my call in a timely manner. Scott asked me about the project and requested some pictures. I followed up on that request. Scott and I communicated by email regarding cost and additional materials. The decision was made to hire Scott for the job and a date was set. Scott checked in with us, close to the agreed upon date, to confirm the appointment. He and his coworker, Clint, showed up as planned. Scott and Clint were professional and considerate on every level of service. They were courteous, prompt, respectful of our home environment, and skilled installers. My husband and I would recommend Nicely Dunn Handyman Services with no reservations. We intend to use them in the future.

They told us that the issue was the hinges, spent around 4 hours working on hinges and locks etc., and at the end of the time, it ended up being that that didn't fix the problem and they said oh, well we can do this other thing (shave down the doors) and that took all of 3o minutes and helped more than anything they did for the three house beforehand. The doors are okay, still not perfect, but in somewhat better working order than before. Then, afterwards, they told us that our credit card wasn't accepting payment. We had to call the credit card company numerous times, each time we were told that the payment was in fact paid. By the end, they had tried charging our credit card 5 times (possibly user error) and then asked us to send a check instead. We felt very uncomfortable with this situation and are waiting to make sure that the credit card company is only accepting one of the 5 payments.
Description of Work: They put new hinges on our front and mudroom doors and worked on getting the doors to open/close/lock correctly.

Thank you for your understanding concerning the credit charge issue. I have limited control over technology, and it did'nt work this time. I'm glad that ultimately nothing was charged on your card and I thank you for the follow up check payment.

Scott gave an estimate for some work and was hired to do that work. However, once he was there, my mother-in-law asked for some additional work without asking for an additional estimate - totally her fault. However, at the end of the day she was asked to pay an amount that felt completely unreasonable. Upon questioning that amount (and negotiating a reduced amount) she was told it was standard practice to pay both handymen for their lunch hour (this was several hours of work but not an entire day. And paid lunch hours were never mentioned up front). The worst part is after they negotiated a price and my mother-in-law paid them, they took the intercom system that she had them uninstall without her permission.
Description of Work: I've used this handyman service in the past and had a great experience so I referred them to my mother-in-law who recently purchased a new house.

Response from Nicely Dunn Handyman Service Inc
Thanks to your mother-in-law for taking my phone call tonight to talk about this review. Here's a synopsis of our conversation: 1) We where at your mother-in-laws house for 5 hours and received payment for $500 although it is listed as $350 in your review. 2) My company never charges for lunch hour. 3) We did not renegotiate a price while we where there. We charge $100 per hour. 4) Because we where hired to remove a 1970's intercom system we cleaned up after ourselves by removing the old parts and wires. Our clients appreciate when we remove debris from their homes and have them recycled. It's just part of the service we provide to our clients. Regarding the review: Price: We charged exactly as listed on Angie's List Quality: When we talked on the phone you said you where very happy with the work we did while at your home, but the review does not reflect that. You said you thought the quality was very good, and so did your painter. Punctuality: We showed up when we where scheduled to. Professionalism: We where efficient, and you said you appreciated the quality of the work, You where at home while we worked, so you where witness to the work we did while we where there. I appreciate all reviews as long as they are honest and fair.

I found Scott on Angie's list and hired him based solely on the Angie's list reviews. A little risky I admit, but we have a vacant house that was under contract to be sold, when the plumbing problem occurred. Scott agreed to do the job based on pictures I emailed him. He was busy and had to be scheduled out about 3 weeks. He and his helper arrived as scheduled and got the job done in one day. It looks fantastic! I'm already trying to schedule him for work at our new house.
Description of Work: 1/2 bath had water damage to ceiling and Pergo flooring due to plumbing issue in bathroom on upper floor. The plumbing repair necessitated a new ceiling (slightly lowered) in the 1/2 bath, and Pergo flooring to be removed and reinstalled.

They arrived on time and were very professional. They completed the job in 2 hours and 20 minutes. We just felt that $300.00 for 2 hours and 20 minutes was a little high priced. At 150.00 an hour, we probably want to shop around a little more and check prices before deciding to call them again.

I believe the price was too high for the service provided. I think if Scott had worked while talking, it would have reduced the amount of time he and Cliff spent at my home. Also, Scott's estimate for window replacement was astronomical. The following year, I had all the windows replaced for less than the price Scott quoted for replacing one window.
Description of Work: Scott Dunn arrived with Cliff. Cliff did all the work; Scott did all the talking. Cliff replaced an electrical fixture in my laundry room. It works beautifully. He also fixed my front doorbell and did something with the wiring for my back doorbell. Scott advised my how to fix a burn on my dining room table and outlined what had to be done to fix tile around my tub. He also gave an estimate on window replacement.

Scott gave me an estimate based on photos. I compared his estimate with others and he was competitive. He is very busy now, so we had to wait a couple of weeks to get the work done. Also because he was busy, he was often hard to get hold of. He and his helper showed up on time and worked quickly. They put drop cloths down to avoid scratching the floor. They made good suggestions of things I should do to get ready for the installation of our cabinets. They also worked through lunch because we had a last minute funeral come up. I would definitely use NIcely Dunn again.

Scott replied to my message very quickly and asked what needed to be done. He gave me a ball-park estimate of $400 based on expected time to do the work and the materials. We were able to set up a time to do the work within 2 weeks. Scott later confirmed the appointment and asked a few additional questions about the job. On the day of the appointment, Scott brought another worker, was exactly on time, assessed the job and went right to work. He had all the materials needed, including a jack and finished the job quickly. After he was finished we asked him about another possible job and, after looking at was needed, he referred us to a plumber The work was completed quickly, well, and under the estimate. If I need to have more work done, I will call Nicely Dunn.

They re-vented my gas dryer. It went very well; they were easy to deal with, explained what they were going to do, finished the job on the first visit and completely cleaned up after themselves. The only thing that sort of surprised me was their policy of charging an additional 3% to customers who use credit cards. On the other hand, they were very willing to let me pay in two installments, with no interest or other charges. I rated their price a B for two reasons: the policy explained above, and the fact that I did not choose to get other bids, when Scott told me that he and Clint could do the job then and there. So I don't know how competitive their charge was.

it went GREAT! After having been stood up by another handyman I called Nicely Dunn, and discussed the project with Scot. We made an appointment and he and an assistant came right on time, looked at the project and began work immediately. The care in measuring the project out to meet USPS requirements was meticulous, and the way they trimmed the post to the correct height gave the project a much more professional appearance. They were done in less than 90 minutes and it looks great and is exactly in the correct spot to satisfy the Post Office. I will definitely use Nicely Dunn again for other handyman type projects as they are professional and have great attention to detail. Thanks!

Scott responded to our request for him to do some work for us within 24 hours and was able to schedule me for the next morning. They were on time, worked quickly and did an excellent job. Scott also noticed some issues on the outside of my house that needed attention but that he was unable to do due to the height, 3 stories up, and pitch of my roof and also the expertise needed (masonry, finish carpentry). I would definitely hire again and recommend.
Description of Work: They cleaned out and fixed my dryer venting, fixed front doorknob, installed a latch on my garage, fixed my garage door so that the auto door opener now actually works, fixed a cabinet door that would constantly pop off, emptied a disgusting compost bin into yard waste bags that the city then took to dispose of and more the old composting bin to near my recycling bin, removed old mildewy caulking around the bathtub (I plan on finishing the job after waiting 48 hours for it to dry), secured an electrical outlet in my living room, hung a mirror in my bedroom and informed me that the storm windows in my bedroom were very ill-fitting and they could not do much about that. While I was writing out the check, the stool I was sitting on dropped a screw so they fixed that and tightened all the screws on all 3 stools in my kitchen!

Two handymen arrived promptly, assessed the situation, went for materials, returned and completed the job, cleaned up after themselves and removed old materials and debris. Materials were about $40 and they were done in an hour. They explained what I needed to do to keep the problem from happening again. Very happy with the service.

Scott is a complete professional. Showed up on time to give me a bid, then showed up on time to get the requested job done. The one thing that really stands out about how professional Scott is, is that while he was removing a large and akward beam from my backyard, he accidently broke a window. He called me right away, explained the situation and apologized, then said that he has already ordered the exact replacement window from Anderson (could have tried to save himself some money using something cheaper, but he didn't), and wouldn't let me pay for the job that he already completely for me until he came back and installed the window that he'd broken. He waterproofed the broken window and made it safe, then a week later he called and he said that he got the window from Anderson, and he came back and installed it, then even offered to go find matching paint and paint a very small part of trim (which I declined, that's an easy thing for me). After all that, he didn't even think of charging me any more than his original quote. Scott's clearly a standup guy that takes a lot of pride in his work. Any time I have anything around my house that requires a handyman, Scott will be my first call.

It was an odd situation because I'm getting used ones so they have to be adjusted to fit. I ended up getting someone else to do it for $175. It was two guys and they seemed thorough but the price was too high. It was really a one guy job. They seem efficient but the price was a little off the wall.I would use them if the price was reasonable.

Scott is a great guy. I felt very comfortable with him. He knows what he is doing. He is very much in to saving money, which was very helpful. He did a great job on the repairs.
