Norm and his crew did a fine job. They quickly and professionally repaired our water damaged garage front and painted our entire house. He went the extra mile and reviewed the whole house for rotten wood and siding while proposing a vary fair price for the whole job. Thanks Norm!

chimney repair

We have a Pulte spec home built in 1995 that has 2x4 frame / OSB chimney covered with vinyl siding. Like many of the homes in our sub-division, we began developing rot on the wood trim. I chose Reilly?s Handyman Services based on their stellar reviews on Angie?s List. After an initial estimate to replace and paint the rotten trim, Jeff and Alan showed up and began the job. After removing the trim, it was clear that there was much more water damage than what was externally visible. Norm Reilly showed up on site within the hour. We discussed my options and he re-estimated the job. In the end, the vinyl siding and trim were removed from the entire front and one side of the chimney. The damaged framing and OSB were replaced and the exposed surfaces and corners of the chimney covered with Tyvek. The trim was replaced with MiraTEC (rot resistant) trim, chalked, and painted. Finally, the siding was put back on the chimney with new J-channel. Norm?s crew inspected the chimney cap and the back side trim and gave it a clean bill of health. As part of the same job, Norm inspected the trim on the house and repaired one other section on the garage. It should also be noted that they did a good job of cleaning up. I am please with the result and am having Norm bid other jobs for the spring.
Description of Work: Repaired damage / rot to chimney 2x4 framing and OSB caused by water damange.

Their work was not excellent but was above average. They needed to come back and clean up some areas where we had some paint due to over painting and spraying. They were responsive and when we did have problems, they came back and fixed it.

They were fine. They were very professional and did an excellent job. I had no complaints. They were on time and they were clean. They repaired the floor around the toilet, where there was a leak. Later, they put in some new flooring and stained the same. They did an excellent job. I?ll definitely use them again in the future.

I spoke to someone over the phone and they gave me an estimate for the countertop installation but not the actual countertops, just the installation. It was like we would buy the countertops and they would install it for me. The estimate was 600 dollars to install countertops in two different bathrooms. I was impressed with the reviews that they had on Angie's List for them. The reason why I didn't get them out was because we just decided to try a different direction in terms of buying countertops from the company who was going to install them. So, I spoke to another company who could do that and want to use them for this work. If need arrives I would like to use them in future.

gutter repair, handyman service, roofing

He is actually a neighbor. He replaced one shingle that didn't match and now we have what looks like a bald spot. I wasn't happy about that. His workmen put in a plastic curved piece instead of the aluminum and it looks terrible. It was totally inappropriate. I'm sure it wasn't a misunderstanding because I described exactly what I wanted. I don't think he was the issue but I think he picked the wrong person to do the job. They did some things really well like prepare the rotted wood and the drip edge and reattaching the gutter. The other things were not done properly and I don't have time to keep following up and having them come back to redo stuff. They left some debris and when I came home I thought they weren?t done. They didn't do a good job of cleaning up and I expected a quality handyman service. It should have looked like they had not been there when they finished. I will not call them back. I think the price was on the high end. I had talked to other people and it was high for a day's worth of work. I would not have argued with the price had it been done really well. They were able to work us in right away and he talked to us right away.
Description of Work: I used Reilly's Handyman Services a couple of months ago to fix an aluminum downspout, which needed a curved piece on the bottom. They put a drip edge so the gutter would be firmly attached to the house. Also a 6-10 inch section of wood had rotted and he replaced that. He also fixed some broken shingles.

Response from Reilly's Handyman Services
I believe this member confused us with the other contractor I've seen working on her house in September. I did not work for her; I worked for her husband. All agreements were made with him. We did go back the next day to do some minor things. Once we were finished, he told me he was pleased with the quality and the extra work we did. The description above does describe some of the work we completed in June, not in September! The member chose to have a different color shingle on the roof. I gave him options: I can run to Raleigh from Cary to match the shingle before replacing it for $75, or I can put one on for FREE. We did clean up when we finished but we did not put back the plastic round table and chairs. We did go back and move them the next day. The plastic curved piece instead of the aluminum piece probably was the other contractor, because it is not on my work order and I don’t recall this issue. If we did this, and the customer was not happy, we absolutely would have corrected it. He made sure he was completely satisfied before he paid us and he told me he was pleased with the quality and extra work we did. We had three people working on the job the first day.

I had four companies look at the work that needed to be done. He was the only one of the four people who didn?t even realize that I was asking him to take down a false beam. He looked at it but he didn?t realize that it was false wood. He told me that I needed a lot of structural work done on it. I eventually explained to him as to what I really needed done. His prices were very poor. Currently, his prices are twice as high as that of the others because he has included structural work in the estimate, which doesn?t need doing. He was responsive, though. I will not use him again in the future.

My record of straight A's on over 50 other inputs should talk for itself. The home owner wanted ceiling beams covered. He informed me that the builder had installed the beams during the construction phase of the room. I assumed there was support beams in the center of the room like you see in garages and the builder added others to create a design and mask the real beam. This is common practice in older houses. I only provided a quote based on the owners input. I hope after the work is done, the hired contractor was correct!

They did a really good job. He came out the same day that I called and sent some guys out later that afternoon to do the work. The price was really good and reasonable for how long they worked.
Description of Work: I used Reilly's Handyman Services to put some siding on our house.
They are responsible, clean, and there are no foul mouths which is important when you have children around. Norm Reilly, the owner, has an electrician, plumber, painters, and they continually surprise me at their skill level and what they are willing to do. They are really working with me and my schedule because you never know what is going to come up at the last minute. I know it?s a headache for him, but he?s done a lot to help me pull off this remodel. We have a working relationship that I just trust that they will give me the best price.
Description of Work: Reilly’s Handyman Services replaced some trim, did the electrical and plumbing work in our new kitchen, and they’ll be laying a new sidewalk for us next week.

The workmen were very reliable and did the job pretty efficiently. Once, we figured out when they were suppose to come, they were definitely on time, but, it took a little bit of understanding about who is coming when. The price was not the cheapest, but, we felt that we were getting someone who is standing by his work. They were also very good about answering any questions. The experience turned out very well.

Once, we figured out when they were suppose to come, they were definitely on time, but, it took a little bit of understanding about who is coming when. There was rewiring with an electrical switch that was not exactly what we had asked for so, we actually had to have the electrician come back and make one change which was easy to do and he was happy to do it. The price was not the cheapest, but, we felt that we were getting someone who is standing by his work. They were also very good about answering any questions.

They did everything they were asked and also offered good suggestions for better solutions to the job. They were on-time and worth the money, and always explained anything and everything they were working on and doing.
