Description of Work: When he arrived, he was very nice and said he could do several of my projects in 2 days for the same deal he offered in one day. He botched one job and I had to pay $1100 to correct and redo it. He never finished the job I hired him to do and I attempted many times to contact him with no response. When I mentioned reviewing him on Angies list he agreed to come back but hasnt returned my calls. I gave up on him.

Response from Handyman Services--The English Handyman
Seems some of the review is a little mis-leading. I pressure washed, sanded and then I sprayed a deck with stain. The customer ran out of stain leaving the stairs not stained. Due to weather etc and the time of year we had to wait to return to finish which the customer does NOT state. I did come back and finish the stairs that were not stained. It was in the spring .Then the customer stated she wanted wanted the deck stained again !!!!!!!! I did try to stain another area but it just looked the same I told the customer this so staining again would not have made the deck look different. I did have an employee who put in drywall in an outside shed and insulation. The drywall was not correct on to the studs. The insulation was back to front. That job was 6 hours so I'm not sure where the $1100 comes from ??? There were 2 of us working for a day and I only charged for one person. All materials could be re-used e.g drywall and insulation. We did play phone tag for a while and the weather again did not help me. But to stain the whole deck again why ??? I also built steps to the shed at the customers request. No mention of this job. The employee no longer works for me and Yes I should have checked. My fault on that job. Its so easy to leave a negative review for anyone and leave out a few facts. However I do need to improve my communication and have someone who schedules my work now.

See above.
Description of Work: He was hired to caulk areas around crown molding which had cracked due to lack of moisture and house settling and also to grout in showers where we had some cracks. He used the wrong color caulk in most areas of my home which left the moldings/ceilings looking dirty and muddy, and did a sloppy job as well, with a large amount of smearing the caulking on the ceiling in many areas. Additionally, he used the wrong material type in the showers and the wrong color although I had provided the information about what color the existing grout was when I made the appointment. I had to hire a professional for remediation in the showers which cost me more than twice the cost of the original work and I also had to spend approximately 10 hours of my own time to paint over the wrong color caulking. He was cheerful, pleasant, and punctual.

The customer, smiled, laughed and paid me for work well done even saying " is that all you want for payment" Then suddenly it's all wrong. I used DAP almond in a tube and all looked well when I had finished. The bathroom grout seemed to match the best I could. I have worked on over 100 showers this last year and never has it not dried. I contacted the customer but the response was polite but not welcoming. I say again. If you find a problem ask me back at no cost to you. I am more than willing to fix anything you feel is not right I wish the customer well and am sorry she paid someone else at more cost when I would not have charged a penny to come back

Description of Work: The tile in my shower was separating from the house settling and water was seeping into the cracks between the tile. The grout was eroded and dingy looking. Noel removed the damaged grout and re-grouted the shower. And he cleaned up behind himself.

I am very pleased with the overall quality of work and how pleasant Noel was to work with. I fully recommend him to anyone in need of handyman services. I will most definitely use him again. Thanks Noel!!!
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for handyman services from this company and was EXTREMELY impressed. Noel contacted me within a matter of hours to thank me for purchasing the deal and to set up a time for him to come out to my home. He was very responsive and worked with me to find a convenient time for the both of us. Once he arrived, I wasn't there, but he had already begun to access the things I previously told him I wanted fix. My main item was a few broken fence panels from a bad wind storm that had completely come down. He told me what items I needed to get from Lowes. While I ran to Lowes, he started working. I asked him to: hang a large mirror, fix the fence and fence doors, and fix the gutter. Noel was very knowledgeable and offered many suggestions on solutions. At one point it started to rain heavily so he came in the house and began working on hanging the mirror. Meanwhile, I asked him to take a quick look at my gas fireplace (it leaks cold air in the house during the winter) - he said sure no problem. He checked it out and helped me figure out what to do.

Overall, I'm so pleased with Noel and his handyman services that I've hired him for more work! He removed and replaced the old chaulking in my bathroom and made sure it was done correctly in all places; even where not even asked. Noel provides high quality work at a comfortable price range. His friendly, easy disposition is a bonus!

Re-grouting the shower floor turned out to be a good bit more difficult as previous owners had used caulk between the tiles rather than grout for repairs. Poor guy! He had power tools to dig the stuff out and it still took longer than expected. Noel hung in there and finished all tasks requested though he was pressed for time to get to his next job. Highly recommend!

Noel was great. He showed up on time and went right to work. He came up with great solutions for some problem areas we had with our house. He took care of all the things we agreed to when we scheduled the appointment. I was able to find a couple of other items for him to look at and will be scheduling him for that work as well. Overall a great experience.

Noel arrived on time and stayed over the estimated time .He demonstrated skill and efficiency in his work and was ageat help in getting things completed so that I could continue to unpack. He stayed over the estimated time even though the special was for an hour and charged me the special rate per hour. He is detail oriented and efficient in his skill. Every thing went perfect.My biggest concern was my three English Mastifffs, he was great with them even when they tried asist him with his work. He is great and I would strongly recommened Noel .I will be using him again soon. Thanks Noel

Overall a very good experience. He listened to what I wanted, and provided what he promised. Very pleased with the result and with the experience. I would definitely hire Noel again.
Description of Work: Noel added 2 small sets of stairs to my deck, which had been built prior to my buying my home. On one of the hottest days of the summer, he dug the footings, secured with concrete, and completed the steps. He had come by, consulted on what I wanted, measured, then bought all the supplies prior to starting the work. He left a clean area, and the stairs look great. Not just plain boards, but attractive grooved treads that channel away the water to keep them from being slippery.
