Steve is a good communicator, and a thorough and efficient worker. He completed the job in a timely manner and the work was high quality. I will definitely be calling him again!
Description of Work: Steve replaced 7 outdoor light fixtures, re-attached a piece of siding that fell off the side of my garage and repaired a rotted piece of trim work on the outside of my house.

Not well at all he started the to repair the hole in the wall but never completed the job. I ended up getting a patch & placed it over the hole. I did all sanding & repainted it. The bathroom towel bar was old. It was falling out of the wall. He was trying to put the new towel bar where the old one was. The he was too large so o told him to screw it in above the old holes & patch the old he's. He didn't measure so it was crooked & he had to pull it out & start again. I patched the holes. The large picture in the living room went on a main large wall. He was putting the picture where he thought it should go. I told him toes sure the entire wall theneasure the picture & hang it in the middle. I had to show him how to do it. He wasn't very friendly either. This was the first & last time I used Angie's List.
Description of Work: I needed to patch a hole in the wall, install towel bars in bathroom, hang a large picture in living room. I had this done a very long time ago. I don't remember the date. Every time I want to use Angie's List I don't because I think of rent a husband. So I decided to finally write a review so I can move on & hopefully I pick someone good to do my small jobs at home.

This member never said anything to me about this job, so after 16 months I don't recall the details of this job, but thank you for telling me now.
We own a very old duplex which has the original heavy oak doors. Over the years, the veneer has begun to buckle and the finish has started to fade quite a bit. We were not sure they could be repaired, even though they are structurally sound and have a lot of character. We considered purchasing new doors, painting the doors, and even buying replacement doors from the same era. The options appeared to cost anywhere from several hundred to a few thousand dollars. As a last resort I called Stephen to get his opinion. We had hired him two years ago to do some work at our duplex and were very pleased with what he had done. Stephen stopped by and then called back right away. He assured me that the doors could be easily repaired and refinished, and that is just what he did. I am very happy with the outcome; they look great. While he was here, he also took the time to touch up the back side of both doors and the threshhold (without me even asking). He also offered to fix the sweep on the screen door. We had purchased an Angie's List coupon from Stephen a few years ago. I was not even aware that we still had a few hours of credit left when we called. Stephen actually had kept track and his visit to repair the doors didn't cost us anything more. He is a really nice guy, entirely ethical, does high quality work, and recommends ways to be as frugal as possible. Some jobs require a handyman,not a contractor, and he is the perfect person for that. I highly recommend him and we will definitely have him back in the future.
Description of Work: Stephen repaired and refinished the two front doors of our duplex.

I've had no more trouble with the toilet.
Description of Work: He fixed my toilet which had rocked back and forth since I moved in five years ago. The man who "flipped" this house had mis-installed the toilet, and Steven had to file off part of the old piping to get it to lay flat against the seal. It's worked perfectly since!

This represented the second deal that I purchased on Angie's List for his time. The time in this deal was pretty much consumed with deck repairs. Stephen has been very flexible in letting me use the deal time in both large and small blocks of time. The only problem was last year when he was very busy. As a result, he was scheduling out as much as two months from when I called him. This year the scheduling lead time has been more manageable (within a month).
Description of Work: During this last visit, he replaced 4 deck posts supporting the railing. That used up the remaining time left in the deal I purchased back on 2014.

the wok was done promptly. He did a nice job patching the hole on the roof. Some of the hardware wasn't installed tightly enough and the screws got stripped, making adjustments tough, so drawers are still wobbly.

Stephen did an excellent job and went above and beyond in all he did. Especially the outside painting. He used putty to fill in where some wood was starting to rot, rather than just painting over it. Had a great idea to fix the vent covers in my basement that have been hanging loose since I moved in 12 years ago. Would definitely recommend.

He set his toolbox directly on the countertop of the new bathroom vanity, and left scratch marks across the surface on both sides from moving it around. We were disappointed at what he was able to accomplish in the day, even though we were happy with the work itself.

We could not have asked for more from Stephen. He responded immediately to my email request, and he arrived early the following morning. He was very polite, courteous, and professional throughout his two-and-a-half hour visit. He did an excellent job of installing the two dog gates, and he managed the really hard part of moving the two pieces of furniture. My wife was thrilled when he noticed the broken towel rack in our bath, and offered to take care of it. We will be sure to work with him again whenever any variety of household repairs/maintenance/installation projects come up. We recommend him without hesitation.
Description of Work: Stephen installed two interior dog gates, helped me move a very large piece of furniture from one part of the house into another area, and moved an older tv from our master bedroom to the garage. He also volunteered to fix a broken towel rack in our master bath.

It was a Big Deal purchase. There were no additional charges. Everything looked very good and it was professional-looking. It looked quality. What I disliked was that he was trying to sell me some vitamins that his wife would sell. There were no issues with the work that he provided. I probably wouldn't use them again because I don't want to talk about buying products or something but it was just okay.
Description of Work: He did fixing of windows and painting that needed to be done and just general repairs.

Great. There were a few hours one day where he seemed to lose focus and didn't get much done, but other than that, his work was diligent, efficient, and top notch, especially on anything electrical. He saved me a fortune on those tasks alone, so I can't complain about a little wasted time, especially since it was not the norm. I really appreciate how much he got done, and how well he did it.
Description of Work: Stephen did a ton of miscellaneous tasks around my house, over three all-day visits (I purchased a deal for $500 for 20 hours, then paid for some overage). He installed a ceiling fan, switched out a few fixtures and outlets, put molding on top of kitchen cabinets, fixed a towel rack, removed a room of wall-to-wall carpeting, patched concrete steps, switched out and installed a new gas stove, and more. He even installed some gear on a bicycle.

My wife contacted him through this site for a leaking toilet. He responded via email the next day asking her to call. She called the next morning, but he didn't answer. Then he called back at 9:30pm that night (a bit late when you have a 1yr old). After some more phone tag, they agreed on 4pm Saturday. At 4:30pm Saturday, he called and said he would be 2 more hours. At 7:30pm he called and said he could come over, but by that time our 1yr old was asleep and the bedroom is right next to the bathroom. My wife asked to re-schedule for Wednesday. He said he would have to check his calendar and get back to her. By Wednesday we still did not hear from him, so we fixed the leak (we think) ourselves. Not the timely, professional handyman we expected from reading these "A" reviews.

Arrived in time; rented a large ladder; wired fixtures, removed existing fixtures and replaced with new. Was neat and organized.
Description of Work: Replaced two light fixtures; one in a vaulted entry.
Stephen arrived on time and was well prepared for the jobs he was to complete. He immediately went to work on the kennel enclosure and completed the task in a timely manner. He inquired whether I would like the blocks stacked or used as a walkway on the side of our house. His suggestion of creating a walk path was excellent. He was meticulous in making sure it was level and straight. When I hired him it was just for the porch/kennel but I had some metal window blinds that were removed when I put in new windows so I asked if he knew how to install them. He said yes and very quickly installed them. When you hire someone who gets paid on an hourly basis you want someone like Stephen who knows what he is doing, gets down to business to complete the task in a timely manner, is respectful of your property cleaning up when needed, takes pride in his work and asks good questions to make sure he does what you want but also makes suggestions as in the case of me telling him to put the stepping stones and pebbles on the side of the house and his inquiring if I would rather have him make a walkway with the materials on the side of the house which turned out nicely.
Description of Work: Removed dog kennel protection screens on 12 windows in a screened in porch that had been converted into a kennel. Removed the kennel enclosure fence. Removed concrete stepping stones and pebble rocks from the kennel enclosure & moved them to the side of the house. He then formed a walkway with the stepping stones and pebbles along the side of the house. He reinstalled metal blinds on two bathroom windows.
