Description of Work: Estimate was performed on time, however in three month the provider was only able to offer one (!) day when he can come for service. Unfortunately I was out of town. Provider's response on my multiple inquiries was that he offered me a day and has no other days available in my area.

Description of Work: It started out well. We had a good email exchange about the work to be performed. Then just as we were about to schedule the work, he stopped emailing back. I tried emailing 3 times, and then tried calling a few more times over the next few months, not getting an answer or being offered to leave a message. I'm sure it would have been ok but I do not have time to try to track down non-responsive people. Also at some point he noted that the work site is quite far from the place of business, which is something the BIG DEAL did not take into account, He was still committed to try to get out here, but it probably wouldn't be worth it, so maybe that is why he decided not to come. No hard feelings, I just want my money back.

Never again.
Description of Work: Bought a coupon for handyman services on Angie's list. Took a long time for Shawn to respond. Came out once and completed some tasks. I had more hours left on coupon. Any further attempts to reach Shawn were not responded to or things I asked to be done he said he would not do on the coupon. What difference does it make what you are doing? I bought time. Shawn ran another special on Angie's list before all the people from the first time were taken care of. Bad experience. Asking for a refund for the hours I have left.

Im sorry but the coupon was not suppose to be used in multiple homes at multiple locations especially those that were further away. I recommended you get a refund.

Horrible experience.
Description of Work: The 300.00 dollars was for a deposit before the work began. Short and sweet, this guy took 4 weeks to do half of a one week job and the quality was bad. I have to get someone else to finish the job now. He was always late or didn't show at all for appointments and never called. Do not use this guy for anything.

Response from A-Z Home Repair & Improvements
3 weeks ago I gave this guy an estimate to remodel a bathroom. I explained that I had a number of customers ahead of him that had bought coupons and that I would have to try and fit his work in from time to time. Because it was a powder room he was fine with that. Apparently not. Why should his work come before the others? I was up front about the schedule and he agreed at first then tried to get me to change it to meet his demands.

See above
Description of Work: I had asked for several services. The work was done exceptionally fast and accurately, except for the cabinet hinges. He installed a new mechanism on a toilet, installed a light fixture, repaired a board on my deck, gave me some advice about tile work, and tightened the hinges on all of my kitchen cabinets. I had alerted him that there were problems with just tightening, but he said he had fixed everything. Unfortunately, the cabinet hinges came loose again, but I called him back and he came right back! A 1 year guarantee on work. I will use him for as much electrical and plumbing work that he feels able to do. He was very nice and very helpful.

Description of Work: Shawn came to look at the job( entry door replacement and sidings) but never sent estimates, even after I called twice. He seems very knowledgable, but maybe too busy!

When I came over to look at the work, this member informed me that he was going to have Lowes do the work. Till this day Im not sure why he had me come over there. I think it was to measure the door so he could call them and tell them the rough opening size that he needed to order.

We converted our existing screen porch to an enclosed 3 season room with new windows, floors and exterior door. This room was on a concrete pad with 1/2 brick walls under an existing roof. Custom Andersen Windows needed to be sized, ordered and installed. New raised sub-floor and exterior decking was then installed and finished with hardwoods and stained glass exterior door. A new gas line was pulled in to feed a small gas fired cast iron stove. Overall it was an excellent experience and was completed in a timely and professional manner.
Description of Work: Screen porch to sun room conversion.

Shawn has been a pleasure to work with, and has gone beyond my expectations in his efforts to "get it right".
Description of Work: Shawn Von Allmen is the owner and does the work himself. He gave me very specific quotes to replace exterior wood that was rotten, and as he found additional problem areas, he explained them to me and gave me an idea of what else needed to be done. I had some major water damage which had been covered up by earlier "repairmen". Shawn did a beautiful job of restoring the structure and the surfaces affected, efficiently and at a very reasonable price for all the work he did. I will definitely hire him again for any repair work, inside or out, that he is willing to do!
