The whole experience was excellent. The contractor assigned to do the work was knowledgeable about the materials and installation. New siding was installed without a problem, and the contractor corrected many faults in the original work. Even where siding was patched into existing work, the results were beyond expectations. The porch post repair went easily and smoothly with no damage to my existing trim. If not for the new treated post, you would not know any work had been done. Can't argue with skill and good workmanship. Best of all, total cost of work came in below estimate. Would definitely use this company again, and recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Replacement of rotting back porch post. Replacement of damaged vinyl siding.

Fantastic! The previous construction had a lot of errors when being built, but they managed to remedy the faults and build a beautiful set of stairs. Also worked very fast (less than 4 hours) giving them time to help me begin tiling my master bathroom. Do not hesitate to hire this company. The employees are courteous, professional, and more than competent.

He used his time so efficiently that he knocked out my list in no time. He was organized, quick, and well equipped. I just got the feeling that there was nothing around the house that he couldn't do. My experience with Greg was two cuts above any other handyman experience.
Description of Work: This was a special deal. 8 hours of handyman service for about $400. My experience with handyman service providers has been overall OK but not great. Greg changed that. He arrived at 7:00 AM sharp. We had already made him a list that ranged from fixing/replacing the door between our house and garage to installing a new threshold ramp to my back porch. We went over that list together when he arrived and then he examined and diagnosed that door as repairable and went to work.

Since I have had bad luck with "Big Deals" I was wary but decided that, since I had excellent prior experience with this company doing over $7,000 worth of painting & carpentry work, how could I go wrong? My in-wall light timer broke & I needed it replaced to control my outdoor lights as I was going out of town. I called about 2 weeks before Xmas & Ron came in about a week. Ron & James had done the exceptional jobs for me before. On the Fritsch site a temporary warning appeared that said the company had no licensed electrician but when I went to reviews I saw that they had done electrical work for other clients. My very un-handy husband had installed the original timer so I figured it did not require an expert. Two different hardware "experts" sold me two different timers that should work. Ron started with one but later decided the other was better. He proceeded to read the directions & worked & worked at it. From the start he complained that he is a trained carpenter & didn't understand why Jon sent him to do this job. He was so afraid that he would get fired that he kept at it trying different wire connections. All the while I am thinking "do I get to pay for his learning experience?" Didn't keep track of how many hours he spent & he finally said that he would have Jon come the next day as "he knows more about this stuff". Well guess who showed up - Ron. After wasting more time he finally gave up. Evidently the codes have changed & the wiring is not compatible with the new timer. Jon finally came & said I would need a different kind of timer that he would have to order online. He charged me $40 for the timer, & came & installed it in about 20 minutes. I had to call every time to get the other jobs done but eventually Ron did stabilize the post & do the plaster work. Again I had to call to get the plaster sanded down. James came & did that in Feb. & also hung the blinds. In the meantime another urgent job presented itself so I had James get to work on it figuring that there would be cost, beyond my "Deal" to complete it. James dismantled one of my front steps which would need some cement work. Since the weather was too cold to do that he said he would buy the necessary cement & wood & return when it warmed up. In the meantime I became ill with the shingles, then a bad cold & light-headedness which remains so have done nothing about getting my work completed. I hear you advertise your "guarantee" constantly so maybe you can help. I am 87 years old & am rather unsteady on my feet & am left with my front steps in a semi-hazardous condition.
Description of Work: Replaced an in-wall light control, light plastering, hung blinds, stabilized post, started & never completed repair of steps.

Garage issue went well. There was a problem with the window box brackets that necessitated refabrication (not a problem associated with this contractor), however when it came time to install the new brackets the workman did not have the the appropriate masonry bit. I was then charged the travel time for him to go get the bit. Since this was the same workman who took down the brackets I would expect he should know what materials he needed to get the job done and would show up with them in the first place. When I brought this point up to the owner (who was also familiar with the project having been to the house and handled the brackets) he asked "what are you trying to do squeeze me out of $60". I responded that I thought it was not appropriate for me to be penalized because his workman was ill-prepared. I also told him that I thought his response to the problem was not professional. I ended up paying the full price because I found it distasteful to argue with him any longer. I can't recommend this contractor to anyone.
Description of Work: Fixed garage roof, replaced gutter, replaced 10 sets of window box brackets.

I was very impressed. John set everything up. He called the day after I placed the order. He told me he would have someone out on Thursday morning He was early for the appointment ( I apologize I cannot remember his name). He did an exceptional job on the everything. I previously had 2 other companies put a toilet paper holder up and both times it fell off the wall. He did it right and it has stayed on. I will definitely use them again. The screens were replaced and are done better than new. My lock is fixed.

It was good. There was an issue with when they would come. I had to call them and get everything straightened out, I forgot what the issue was but it took awhile to get them out. I think it was about $200. The gentleman that was here could have more professionalism. They have a big crew and that is a positive for them.

Great! Jon & his crew did exactly what we needed. Very prompt and professional. Will use again!
Description of Work: I needed my storm door repaired on the back of our home. I was out of town, and I called Jon on monday 5/16. I left a short message and was called back within 5 minutes. I explained the situation and told him I had the parts needed for the repair but couldn't get to it as I was out of town. He replies, " I can be there tomorrow at 7 am ". Keep in mind this was around noon on Monday the 16th. Wow, that's service. He called me at 7:00 am saying his guy was there and he would get it knocked out. I called him back around 10 to " check in " and Jon explained everything was good to go. I was impressed Thanks Jon and crew. You saved me in a pinch!

They took off my siding, opening a hole through to the kitchen sink. This saved me ruining my nice granite countertops by accessing things from outside. They also went into the basement and opened a clean hole in the drywall and framing. The work was very smooth and they were easy to work with. Will use again.

The provider arrived ten minutes early. He obviously knew everything he needed to know to do the job. There were logistic problems because of the design of the attic space and he talked with me about them, giving me options. In the end, he had to re-install some flexible duct work to raise it above the folding ladder. He shopped for the necessary materials, including the wood for the door. He finished the job in 6 hours. At that point, he asked if I wanted him to paint the wooden door opening and I chose to do that myself, saving me some labor time. He took the time to clean-up after himself as well. I was extremely pleased.

I bought a coupon for 4 hours of handyman work. James showed up on time even though I learned later it was nearly an hour drive for him to my residence. He was extremely professional and helpful; recommended the appropriate action and did a great job. He went the extra mile to make sure I understood what he was planning to do to ensure we were on the same page...which I appreciated. James' work was superb and I would not hesitate to hire him again for other projects.

It went great. He was pleasant, prompt and professional. Would be happy to call again for a list of items to be done.
Description of Work: He hung a pre-finished door slab, fixed a broken front door jamb and hung a wooden blind across a large window. He also fixed a drywall repair that my husband had started but had left a big lump in the wall. It looks pretty good now, and I'll be able to lightly sand a little in a couple of hours -- nobody will ever know there used to be a hole in that wall.

It went great. They were very prompt with getting me the lean waivers when I needed them. Jon responded quickly and sent Ron out. Ron got there early, got the materials he needed, and built a first-rate staircase in less than 5 hours. Jon estimated the job at way more than it actually ended up being, which was a nice surprise.

I hired them to reroute my dryer vent and do minor drywall repair. They did everything I asked and a pretty good job. It was done one way and when I asked if we could try something different they had no problem changing or fixing things. The only downside is that the repairman said that the drywall repair could of used another round of mudding and then needed to be sanded and they didn't return to do that.

He's busy and sometimes hard to schedule, but that's probably because they do such good work. We went in with the simple plan of updating our bathroom with some flooring and fixtures. Of course, like many construction jobs, we found some major problems and ended up having to gut the whole thing and redo it. The contractors they send do great work and in the end we have a great new laundry and bathroom. I should also mention that right as we were beginning to wrap up construction, St. Louis got hit with severe flooding and almost everyone with a basement had damage. Luckily one of the workers happened to be on the job that day and contacted both me and Jon, the owner. Jon came over and found out that I had a broken sump pump. He waited for three hours, rolling up collared sleeves to help pump out the water, until I returned with the last sump pump available in the entire area. He installed it at no charge and we haven't had any problems since then. I'd say that's going above and beyond.

James showed up on time. He was friendly and jumped right in on my punch list of items. I had him cut and install new trim in my master closet, install screens, paint, hang curtains and a little touch up drywall in a bathroom. He was friendly, the work was completed quickly and to my expectations, and the price was very reasonable. I would recommend this company to others and would definitely use them again.
