Guth Handyman Service

Would give 0 stars if I could. Would NOT recommend as a general contractor. I hired him for a 300 sq foot addition to my house. He subbed out the work to Robison construction. Robison construction did some demo work to remove some deck and a shed addition on the house where the addition was going. They were not good at cleaning the construction area when they left for the day. They piled insulation from the demo work in my current bathroom and left it there. Robison did the footing and stem wall for the addition. The problems with the stem wall were numerous. First it was only 6 inches wide for an exterior 6 inch wall, which could work, but on top of that it was 3 1/2 inches out of square per 3 other contractors that I had come look at it after Guth pulled out of my project. They put no horizontal rebar in the wall to tie into vertical rebar, per the men that actually poured the concrete. They pulled the forms off the wall withing 4 hours!! They lacked about 6 inches of getting the forms all the way to they existing house where it was tying in and so they used 2, 2" PVC pipes (one on each side) as forms tie it into the house. They removed one of the PVC pipes with the forms, but couldn't get the other one out. The sub had to cut the other one out. So where they used the PVC pipes as forms, the wall was only 4" thick tying into existing house. With so many issues with the foundation I told the general, Ryan Guth, that I wanted the foundation inspected before they built on it, because it had so many issues. When I told him that, he pulled out of my job, claiming hostility on my part and delays. After he pulled out and I had other contractors inspect the foundation, I asked Mr Guth to honor his warranty for the work that had been done. So he sent his sub out and the sub cosmetically fixed the area that was only 4" wide where it tied into my house with a bucket of some sort of cement mixture. I had given him 33% down for the entire project which was $13,860. When he pulled out, he gave me an itemized statement of the work that had been done and issued a refund of $165. He significantly inflated the price of the horrendous, substandard work that had been completed to keep most of my 33% down. His sub at one point when I was questioning him about the concrete work, actually lied straight to my face in front of the general. This general and the sub he used are dishonest and unethical and I would absolutely not recommend them.

Ryan was great. 1st to respond. Understood my situation and job I needed done. Kept in constant contact and showed up as promised. Completed the job quickly and at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be using him again. Absolutely would recommend.

Would use him again didn't fool around got job done as we discussed

I am really happy with the job he did!
