Richard arrived on time did the work in the time quoted ($70/hour), so there were no surprises. I hired him to come back and paint my front landing. When he came over, he had a moisture sensor and determined that the wood was too moist to paint, so he left without charging anything. We are scheduling a time for him to complete the work. At the same time, I am laughing because the exterior of the house next door is being re-painted after only three years because the wood was damp when the previous painter did the work

The crew did excellent work; planning & coordinating went well. There were less expensive options, but our instincts said we could be confident with them and we were not disappointed. The repairs look great, and our gutter finally works as it should. With this business, we found that communication is fairly informal as there is not a formal office presence. More importantly for us, their craftsmen are skilled, they answered our questions with patience and lots of helpful information, and everyone involved was pleasant to work with. We plan to call them back soon to fix the porch floor underlayment and flashing, which we delayed since winter was coming on.
Description of Work: Replaced rotted wood on house and garage exterior; reconfigured gutter/downspout to improve function; re-hung garage windows after homeowner restoration/repair work; opened porch threshold area to replace damaged flashing but found rotted wood underneath flooring; job deferred until next season

It went great! Richard arrived exactly when he said he would, texting us a couple of times to confirm he was on his way. The rotten wood was a bit more extensive than our photos had made clear, and he spent at least an hour more than he had expected, but insisted on only charging us for the original labor estimate. Materials came in a bit higher too, but based on other estimate we received, my feeling is Richard delivered extraordinary work at an extremely reasonable price. He communicates very well, professional in every way and I would call him again in a heartbeat for any job that needed doing. A great pleasure doing business with him.
Description of Work: The wooden threshold under our front porch door was badly rotted...a year or more overdue for attention/replacement. June seems to be a busy time for handman services and we'd had little luck finding anyone who would get back to us promptly. We sent Richard a description and photos of the problem area, and he responded within a few hours, estimated a couple of hours labor plus materials would run $200.

Response from Richard's Remodeling and Repairs
I don't always get messages that is why my contact information Is here if I get the message I will contact you but when I'm personally working in places like Boxford and Andover I don't always get messages due to lack of service on my phone if you call me and I don't answer I might be with a client or in a dead zone in either case if no voice mail is left I will write the call off as telemarketer and won't call back so leave a message. Keep in mind I meet up with anywhere from 3 to 10 people a day for estimates and just going over details on larger projects. I do try to make sure everyone we do work for is happy, but you have to wait your turn like everyone else.

The crew arrived on time, completed all of the work they said they would and in a manner that was better than expected. It was so important to us that they arrive on time as committed as we had an open house the following day. They did not disappoint. One of the guys even came back later that night after his dinner to give the vanity an additional coat to make it sure it looked it's best. We will definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: We had a list of odd jobs to handle prior to our open house. Rich and his crew stripped and stained a bathroom vanity, fixed 6 sections of backyard fence that had moved with the earth, weather stripped front and back doors, fixed garage door that was stuck, re-grouted tub and tile

It was a game saver for me. The heat is coming in and I will now be cool.
Description of Work: Rich installed a large window air conditioner. I was nervous about installing it myself and Rich knew just what to do. His work was detailed and I could see I could not have done the job like Rich. I am so pleased with Rich, his friendliness, his expertise was irreplaceable.........and all was done with a smile. I have dealt with many contractors in the past and Rich gets A+.

Excellent! Gave an estimate over the phone Arrived 5 minutes early Got the job done in about an hour Charged less than the estimate This was a small job, but he is clearly fine with that. Another contractor who claimed he would do small jobs wanted 300$ and wanted me to provide the concrete.
Description of Work: Installed a curb side mailbox (on a post). I provided the mailbox and post. Richard provided the concrete and labor.

Richard is great and I would absolutely use him in the future! This was a small job that a lot of other companies wouldn't even bother with. Richard was able to schedule me less than 24 hours after I called, showed up on time, and completed the work needed in record time. It's so nice when things go smoothly!

We really love this guy. Richard answers his own phone which is wonderful. They sent 2 guys out the next day to put calcium chloride bags around the roof and clear off the shed. The job took them 8 hours and he still only charged us 4 hours since that is what he quoted us and really stood by his word. The calcium chloride bags did not work and they did not do a very good job clearing off the shed and we called Richard and he came out within the hour. He let us know that he fired one of the guys that came out the other day. He did some research on the web and put some other treatment around the roof. He was effective in getting the water to flow out of the house. He is wonderful. We were so impressed with his responsiveness and honesty that we are going to use him as our handymen forever.

Response from Richard's Remodeling and Repairs
My guys are expected to give 100% in whatever project I send them to do. If it is building built in benches and entertainment centers, remodeling a bathroom, or shoveling snow. Each project we do is important no matter how small or big. I have some of the best guys I have worked with in my 20 years of being a contractor. My guys and I stand under everything we do, so long winded way to say thank you for the review and I will be happy to hear from you again.

I have been trying to be able to do on call services for emergencies. I am at this time the only one of my guys that will go out at 1:00 am to fix a blown pipe or clear a tree from a roof and tarp it so I cant take every one... Yet. But I am always glad to help out a past client / friend whenever possible. Thank you for the work you have given us and look forward to working with you again.

It went great! I can't recommend Richard highly enough! He responded to my inquiry on Angie's list about 5 minutes or less after I contacted him. He was easy to get in touch with, punctual and professional. The quality of his work was excellent and he really seemed to know what he was doing. Plus he was super friendly and gave my husband and me some great tips that will help us save money in the future. We will definitely use him again. Not to mention I was shocked at how reasonable the price was, we definitely got our money's worth.
Description of Work: Installed a dryer vent that went from the first floor out through the basement. Installed a new shower head and put up a shower rod.

Richard showed up on time to provide a free estimate. He looked at things I thought needed fixing and he informed me they didn't. He was able to salvage an old railing that they do not make any more. He squeezed me in to a small window I had to have the work done. The final cost was less than his estimate. Highly recommend.

Great work by Richard and his crew. He came out to provide an estimate and discuss work to be done. The backyard deck needed painting, which was very straightforward. Paint job turned out great for all of the deck boards as well as steps, railing, trim, etc. For our side deck, I had a few loose/weak deck boards. We took a look underneath and found rotting wood in both a major joist and a beam. Richard came up with a plan and estimate to completely repair all of the damage and was able to take care of it in no time, including replacement with strong new components, new boards, and reinforcing the balusters. Finished off with a great paint job - it's completely solid now. Looking forward to working with this crew again for anything else around the house.
Description of Work: Multiple jobs, including sanding and repainting large backyard deck, repairing side deck including complete rebuild of support structure underneath, refinishing/repainting.

Richard showed up exactly at 11am as agreed. He was very organized and pleasant to deal with. He finished everything in 6 hours, cleaned the job site and charged me even less than previously agreed. I am impressed to say the least. Looking forward to working with him on other projects.
Description of Work: I had another company finishing my basement and it took them three months instead of three weeks. At the end, I was fed up and and I decided that a small extra project I originally wanted them to do (at significant price I might add) I would switch to someone else as I could not rely on that basement company anymore. I sent several messages (with a picture) through Angie's list to A-rated contractors in my area and ALL responded. However Richard was first. We talked on the phone, he asked questions, we agreed on the price and on day/time. I later got in touch with other contractors and most of them (with two exceptions) were in the same price range.

Thank you for the review, usually a range hood is not a very complicated thing to do. that is why I had sent out one of my guys to do it by himself, but when he was unable to get it done alone I sent in my lead carpenter to get it done. from what he told me the vent was incased in a wood chase and not a normal set up, they found scrap roofing materials in the old vent and said that it wasn't connected inside the chase, but it is all correct now and I am happy we were able to get it done right for you.

I was expecting an elderly house guest for a visit and I needed the railing on the stairway fastened securely to the wall. I am very pleased with Andrew's job. I also needed the caulking around the tub replaced and happy with response from Rich, who went beyond my expectations, coming at inconvenient hours and leaving a great outcome. I am impressed with his wealth of knowledge and advise he offered for other projects I have around the house. Highly recommended! Thank you - see you again soon. \(^o^)/
