THEY FAILED TO COMPLETE THE TASK OF INSTALLING A NEW LIGHT FIXTURE AND A REMOTE LIGHT STITCH AS REQUESTED. THE FIRST GUY THEY SENT OUT GAVE ME A BID ON THE WORK, THEN SUBSEQUENTLY QUIT THE COMPANY (THE NEXT DAY). THE OWNER THEN SENT OUT A GUY WHO DID NOT COMPLETE THE JOB AS I HAD DISCUSSED WITH THE OWNER (IN PARTICULAR HE FAILED TO INSTALL A DIMMER SWITCH AND THE SWITCH PLATE I PURCHASED AND APPARENTLY MADE NO EFFORT TO DO SO). WHILE THE FRONT PORCH LIGHT NOW WORKS, MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH THESE GUYS WAS A HAPHAZARD EXPERIENCE. I DON'T THINK I WOULD USE THEIR SERVICES AGAIN.

Response from SMALL JOB SPECIALISTS INC
THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK ON THE JOB WE COMPLETED FOR YOU. THE COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED. WHEN CUSTOMERS PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO US, IT ENABLES OUR COMPANY TO CONTINUE ATTEMPTING TO PROVIDE THE CONSUMER WITH QUALITY SERVICE. WITH REGARD TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, I THOUGHT WE HAD COVERED ALL THE BASES. AS I MENTIONED TO YOU PRIOR TO SCHEDULING, SMALL JOB SPECIALIST INC. NEEDS SOMEONE AT THE JOB SITE TO REPRESENT THE HOMEOWNER. IN YOUR CASE YOU WERE OUT OF TOWN AND YOU CHOOSE YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW AS YOUR REPRESENATIVE. YOU ALSO LEFT ME YOUR WIFE''S WORK TELEPHONE NUMBER THAT I FORWARED TO MY TECHNICIAN. YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW AND WIFE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE DIMMER SWITCH AND SWITCH PLATE YOU PURCHASED. AFTER EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION BETWEEN OUR TECHNICIAN, YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW, AND WIFE A DECISION WAS MADE TO INSTALL THE PORCH LIGHT THAT NOW WORKS. THE DIMMER SWITCH AND SWITCH PLATE SHOULD BE A VERY SIMPLE ITEM TO INSTALL. BEST OF LUCK IN ALL OF YOUR FUTURE HOME REPAIR NEEDS.

MY ORIGINAL APPOINTMENT WAS FOR 6-27-05. THE WORKMAN CALLED EARLY THAT MORNING, TOLD ME HE WAS ILL AND WOULD RESCHEDULE FOR 7-5-05 AT 8:00 AM. WHEN HE HAD NOT ARRIVED BY 8:30, I CALLED THE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THAT WORKMAN WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, AND THE OFFICE KNEW NOTHING OF THE RESCHEDULED VISIT. WE RESCHEDULED AGAIN FOR 11:30 ON 7-8-05. ON THAT DAY, BOB ARRIVED SLIGHTLY EARLY, WAS VERY POLITE AND WILLING TO EXPLAIN WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. HE WORKED QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY, FINISHED IN UNDER 3 HOURS, INCLUDING A TRIP TO PURCHASE NEEDED SUPPLIES. BOB ALSO SUGGESTED SOME COST SAVING MEASURES WHICH I APPRECIATED. I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULING PROBLEMS, BUT BOB MORE THAN MADE UP FOR IT WHEN HE ARRIVED.
Description of Work: HE GROUTED AND CAULKED A SHOWER, REPAIRED AND CAULKED SIDING, REROUTED A CIRCUIT BREAKER AND PERFORMED OTHER MINOR ELECTRICAL WORK. I AM SELLING MY HOME, AND THESE ITEMS WERE REQUESTED REPAIRS BY THE BUYERS.

THEY DID EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO. THEY WERE 5 MINUTES EARLY, CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES, AND STUCK TO THEIR TIME AND PRICE ESTIMATE. THEY WERE CONCERNED WITH OUR TOILET, AND WAS CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT GET DAMAGED, BUT HE DIDN'T END UP BREAKING IT. I APPRECIATE THE HEADS UP. I WILL DEFINITELY HIRE THEM AGAIN

THE REPRESENTATIVE (BOB?) WAS RIGHT ON TIME, VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND ANSWERED SEVERAL QUESTIONS UNRELATED TO THE WORK HE WAS DOING. I WAS EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE RECEIVED. ALSO, SCHEDULING WAS HANDLED VERY PROFESSIONALLY AND COURTEOUSLY. OF THE HANDYMAN COMPANIES ON THE LIST, I FOUND THIS COMPANY TO BE MORE REASONABLY PRICED THAN SOME OF THE OTHERS. I WAS VERY PLEASED AND WILL USE SMALL JOB SPECIALIST AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR THE POSITIVE REPORT CONCERNING YOUR FAUCET INSTALLATION. I HAVE TALKED TO DELTA FAUCET PREVIOUSLY ON THEIR POP UP DRAIN STOPPERS. THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. THEY DID OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE DRAIN STOPPER. IT IS TO TURN IT SIDEWAYS IN THE BASIN. THIS LOOKS WORSE THAN FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION AND IS NOT AS SECURE IN THE OPENING; IT WILL WOBBLE AND WORK IT''S WAY OFF THE ROD THAT CONTROLS IT. I, TOO, WAS VERY SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT THE DELTA LOGO WOULD BE BACKWARDS WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED. THANKS AGAIN. MARK DUFFY, OWNER OF SMALL JOB SPECIALIST

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO ANGIE''S LIST ON YOUR REQUEST FOR AN ESTIMATE ON A NUMBER OF JOBS. MY COMPANY IS NOT IN A POSITION TO COME OUT AND GIVE FREE ESTIMATES ON A VARIETY OF SMALLER JOBS. IN ORDER TO STAY COMPETIVE AND WORK PROFICIENTLY, WE ATTEMPT TO GIVE FREE PHONE ESTIMATES ON JOBS WE DO, DAY IN AND DAY OUT, SUCH AS " MOVING FANS". IF WE [YOU AND I] WOULD HAVE SCHEDULED THAT WORK AND THE TECHNICIAN GOT THERE AND SAW THAT THE PHONE ESTIMATE WAS DIFFERENT THAN WE DISCUSSED, WE WOULD NOT HAVE STARTED THE WORK. IF WE DID START AND COMPLETE THE ORIGINAL WORK, THE TECHNICIAN COULD LOOK AND THE OTHER JOBS THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO QUOTE OVER THE PHONE. IF YOU LIKED THE WORK HE COMPLETED AND THE ESTIMATE HE GIVES YOU, WE COULD HAVE SCHEDULED THEM FOR ANOTHER DAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HELPING ME PERFECT OUR COMPANY, I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THEM. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR RESPONSE. MARK DUFFY, OWNER OF SMALL JOB SPECIALIST

CAME OUT ON TWO DIFFERENT DAYS FOR A VARIETY OF SMALL PROJECTS, AND MOST WERE WELL DONE. THEY FAILED TO LEAVE AN INVOICE, AND A FLUORESCENT LIGHT STILL WASN'T FUNCTIONING. I CALLED THE OFFICE, AND LEFT A MESSAGE ASKING THAT THE INVOICE BE DROPPED OFF AND THAT THEY LOOK AT THE PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT ON A SCHEDULED FOLLOW UP VISIT. THEY DID COME BACK BY, BUT DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUES I BROUGHT UP, AND NOW THEY ARE UNWILLING TO INSPECT THEIR WORK, UNLESS I COMMIT TO REPLACING THE FIXTURE. I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP HAS SOURED BECAUSE THEY WON'T PROVIDE QUALITY FOLLOW UP AND SERVICE.

BOTH BOB AND STEVE WERE VERY PUNCTUAL, CONTACTED ME TO RECONFIRM, DID VERY GOOD WORK, AND VERY CLEAN. I WAS SO HAPPY WITH THE WORK THAT BOB DID ON THE DRYWALL, THAT I CANCELLED THE ORIGINAL PAINTER AND HAD STEVE COMPLETE THE PAINTING. IT IS NICE TO WORK WITH A COMPANY THAT RESPONDS TO YOUR REQUESTS, DOES GOOD WORK, AND HAS REASONABLE PRICING.

ONE PROBLEM WITH ''HANDYMEN'' IS HAVING TO LEAVE MESSAGES. WHEN THEY CALL BACK AND YOU ARE NOT AT HOME THEY GET UPSET. MOST HANDYMEN RETURN CALLS AFTER 4PM. WHEN YOU WORK HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY GET TO TALK TO A PERSON?
Description of Work: I CALLED TO OBTAIN A PRICE ON REPLACING A BATHTUB WITH A WALK-IN SHOWER OF THE SAME SIZE. HE DID CALL BACK...TWICE, BUT I WAS OUT OF TOWN AT THE TIME OF THE CALL. WHEN I CALLED HIM BACK EXPLAINING THAT I HAD BEEN OUT OF TOWN AND THAT I WAS STILL INTERESTED, HE NEVER CALLED BACK AGAIN.

Response from SMALL JOB SPECIALISTS INC
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON THE SERVICE PROVIDER RESPONSE FORM. I AM GLAD YOU STATED THAT I DID RETURN YOUR CALL AND LEFT 2 MESSAGES (THAT IS MY STANDARD RESPONSE, 2 TIMES). I AM SURPRISED THOUGH TO HEAR THAT YOU CALLED BACK AND I DID NOT RESPOND, (THAT IS NOT MY NORMAL RESPONSE) I ALSO REALIZE THAT LEAVING MESSAGES CAN BE FRUSTRATING. HOWEVER THAT IS THE WAY TODAY''S SOCIETY OPERATES. PEOPLE CAN BE OUT OF TOWN, ON THE OTHER LINE (I HAD 7 CALLS BACKED-UP THIS MORNING, BUT I SPOKE TO EVERY CUSTOMER) AT WORK, IN A MEETING, ON BREAK, AT LUNCH, ILL, NOT ABLE TO COME TO THE PHONE RIGHT NOW, ETC. I DO NOT GET UPSET WHEN I HAVE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE, IT IS WHAT I DO MOST OF THE TIME. I ESTIMATE THAT I HAVE MADE OVER 6,000 PHONE CALLS THIS YEAR. I TRY TO BE IN POSITION TO ANSWER ALL CALLS, OR RETURN CALLS BETWEEN 8:30 AM AND 5:00PM SOMETIMES INTO THE EVENING. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL IF I CAN HELP YOU IN ANY MATTER. THANK YOU, MARK DUFFY SMALL JOB SPECIALIST.

WE TOOK TIME OUT OF OUR WORK SCHEDULE AND WHEN THE WORKMAN ARRIVED HE DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT EQUIPMENT AND COULD NOT PERFORM THE WORK. WE SPOKE WITH THE OWNER WHO WAS TO FOLLOW UP WITH US ABOUT WHEN THE WORK COULD BE DONE, ONLY TO HAVE HIM LEAVE A MESSAGE LATER ON SAYING THEY COULD NOT DO THE WORK AT ALL. A SERIOUS WASTE OF TIME.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION WITH YOU HAVING TO TAKE TIME OUT OF YOUR WORK SCHEDULE. WE WERE ALSO FRUSTRATED WHEN WE REALIZED THAT THE JOB I ESTIMATED OVER THE PHONE @ 4 HOURS [BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE SHARED] GREW CONSIDERABLY WHEN JOE ARRIVED AND REVIEWED THE JOB WITH YOU. JOE EXPLAINED THAT AN AUGER WOULD BE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE JOB. AN AUGER IS NOT A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WE HAVE IN OUR TOOL INVENTORY. JOE THEN TOOK ADDITIONAL TIME OUT OF HIS WORK SCHEDULE AND CALLED TOOL RENTAL COMPANIES. HE FOUND AN AUGER TO RENT AND WAS TOLD THAT A TANDEM TRAILER WAS NEEDED TO TRANSPORT THE AUGER. JOE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT A ONE TON RATED VEHICLE WAS REQUIRED TO PULL THE TRAILER. WE CURRENTLY USE HALF TON RATED VANS WITH NO TRAILING CAPABILITIES. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS JOB GREW FROM REPLACING A FRONT YARD LIGHT TO RUNNING A NEW ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS FROM YOUR BASEMENT BURIED IN YOUR FRONT YARD TO THE LOCATION OF THE YARD LIGHT. WE THOUGHT IT WAS ETHICAL AND IN EVERYONE''S BEST INTEREST.

I AM SORRY YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH ME ON THE PHONE. I DO NOT REMEMBER OUR CONVERSATION, AND I AM SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT I WAS NOT EVEN COURTEOUS TO YOU. I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS. IT SERVES NO PURPOSE AND IS A POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE FOR ME OR MY TECHNICIANS TO BE RUDE TO A CUSTOMER. WE SOMETIMES ARE HURRIED AND THINGS CAN BECOME OVERWHELMING. ON THE SMALLER JOBS, I NORMALLY AM ABLE TO ASK THE CUSTOMER SOME LEADING QUESTIONS THAT WILL ENABLE ME TO GIVE THEM AN ESTIMATE OVER THE PHONE. OCCASIONALLY, IT IS THE CUSTOMER THAT BECOMES FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROCESS. WE ARE NOT A LARGE COMPANY, AND IN ORDER TO STAY COMPETITIVE, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ABSORB THE COST OF A "FREE ESTIMATE," ESPECIALLY ON A REPAIR THAT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE TO TWO HOURS. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR ENDEAVORS TO CORRECT YOUR FAILING TILE AND I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. MARK DUFFY OWNER OF SMALL JOB SPECIALISTS, INC.
