From the first contact with the provider everything went very well. I first called John to schedule an appointment and he picked right up. We were able to discuss what the job required and set up a time for him to come to do the work. John arrived when he said he would and had everything he needed to do the job in terms of tools. I had a big deal from 2 hours of Handyman Services from Angie's List. He was able to complete the job in the 2 hour window specified in the deal. The job was done professionally and looks great. The clean up was excellent and I could not be more pleased to have this improvement completed by DIR Home Consulting & Handyman. My experience from start to finish was excellent. I would definitely use this provider again and recommend him for big or little jobs you need done.

We found John on Angie's List to do an inspection on a house we were purchasing. John was super efficient and showed up early to the house. He explained everything as he went through, while showing us any concerns. Any questions we had were answered in detail so we had a clear understanding. It was very obvious that he takes pride in his work and has an extensive knowledge in his field. We would highly recommend John to anyone having a home inspection done.

John was very responsive and came the same day I called to preview the job. Even though it was outside work, he had no qualms about doing the job and gave us an estimate of the time it would take to complete. He arrived right on time on the agreed-upon day and got right to work clearing the area and building a stone perimeter for the pad to sit on. He also went out and purchased the necessary gravel to fill the area, and when he was done, the pad looked great. His price was very reasonable. Our HVAC provider was very happy with his work as well, and we're now enjoying central air in our newly repaired home thanks to the pad John built. I will definitely call upon him again if we need more work done and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Built a 5' x 5' pad for our A/C compressor.

John and his team came to my house at 3:15pm to install a vent on the side of my home for a portable AC.John got the job done very quick but did quality work. Very clean install and left little to no mess inside the home after. I haven't seen a handyman that put that much detail in their job as John did, and that was the best thing.
Description of Work: John and his team member were fantastic to work with, very friend, super punctual, and did the job exactly as I described it to them. I will definitely be using them in the future.

Considering the size and scope of the renovation, DIR delivered on time and within our budget. John has an exact attention to detail. He even helped us in our search for the right home to renovate which is something no other contractor would take the time to do. He took a personal interest in helping us find the right home to fit our needs and our budget. I would highly recommend his services.
Description of Work: DIR gut renovated our kitchen and bathrooms and changed the existing layout to an open floor plan for our main living area. Installed hard wood floors in our family room and tiled our kitchen floor and bathrooms. Main living area wood floors were refinished. Created a master bedroom suite with a walk in closet with built-ins. Structural defects were corrected and everything was brought up to code. New windows, front and side doors were also installed.
