PTO Home Service & Repairs

Handyman Services, Plumbing, Drain Cleaning,

About us

Estimates are free. Some plumbing jobs carry a standard price in accordance with National Average for our area. My personalized service as well as problem solving create repeat, trusting customers. It' s about quality, a finished product and fair pricing. Attention to detail in your home is important. I wear many hats as plumbing and carpentry sometimes fall together.. Whether its whole house plumbing, a repair or replacement. The job gets completed and I guarantee my workmanship. Large jobs may require a deposit. Being just one person may cause time constraints as I pace myself. I deal direct with homeowners: No coordinators, no absentee landlords or bank building loans. Final approvals are done by the owner during a walk through. Any coupons are redeemable for services only, not for materials. Sales tax is added as required. I make appointments (leaving a 2 hour window usually on Saturdays) to review the details of a job thus calling back with a price and a start date. Some emergency jobs accepted. if emailing please include address, phone number & some details about the work needed. Prices cannot be given sight unseen. Details are important to assure fair pricing. Hourly rates do not apply. Thank you. Phil O'Brien

Phil came out when he said he would to look at the job and offer a quote. The price was fair, so I went ahead with him. He indicated he thought it was a one day job, but I thought this was over optimistic and expected it would take him most of two days. He and his assistant arrived when they said they would and removed the fan and patched the opening. They then removed the old wood pull down stairway and installed the new one. They needed bigger moldiing for the stairway opening, and we agreed that it was late enough that they would stop and come back two days later. Phil returned when he said he would, put another coat of mud on the ceiling patch, installed the stairway molding, and started on the gable vent. This turned out to be a little tricky because his ladder was not quite long enough to reach where it had to get. As a result he installed the vent working from inside the attic. Because of this the job look a little longer than we hoped, but he finished it up and the work looked good. Phil was a pleasure to deal with. I would be happy to use him again.
Description of Work: Replaced existing pull-down attic stairway with a new one that I supplied. Removed and patched opening for an existing full house attic fan. Also installed a gable vent on one end of the attic.

He responded promptly to my call, came by as scheduled to discuss my requests and give an estimate, gave me valuable advice about a drain issue in my home and returned exactly as scheduled at my convenience to do the work. He was very pleasant and professional, the workmanship looks very good and he cleaned everything up nicely. I was very pleased! It is not easy to find someone like him willing to do a variety of small jobs.
Description of Work: Phil did a number of jobs for me and I hope to have him return for a few more. He replaced a side door and rotten wood on my garage, removed a very old metal swing structure from my yard and took the debris away with him and secured a sink that was coming loose from my wall. I plan to have him return to replace a kitchen sink when I have picked out what I want and repair drawers in my kitchen.

siding, replacement windows
  + 0 more
After several quotes from reputable siding firms we spoke with Phil and decided to hire him to replace the siding, several windows and make a major repair to one of the walls in our garage. His quote was substantially less than the other firms we looked at. Though we had hired Phil to preform smaller jobs in the past, I must admit we were apprehensive about hiring him for this major undertaking since he doesn't do siding on a regular basis. My fears quickly subsided after watching him and his assistant work the 1st day. He handled every detail of this job far above my expectations. My wife and I (and everyone else it seems who has come by the house since it's completion ) have nothing but praise about the job that was done. Professional, punctual and responsive to our questions and additional requests. They were on the job "everyday" promptly at the appointed time. They worked even through the hottest of days. They were a pleasure to communicate with. Phil and his assistant went the extra mile to ensure everything was to our exact standards. We couldn't be happier with the results.
Description of Work: Resided the entire house. Installed several new windows. Repaired garage wall.

The members offered an opportunity to vinyl side their home. This was the kind of work I was involved with some years ago. I decided to take them up on the offer. I will admit, we worked in a heatwave and pushed hard to complete the job. The members made the job easy to deal with. Thier sense of humor was a highlight that kept us on the upswing all day. They are great people to work for and are cooperative in so many ways. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

Not good, because he never called me back.
Description of Work: I called this handyman and left a message with my contact information. He never returned my call. I understand people are busy, but a return call just to say he can't take on any more business would have been nice. In my opinion, that's not a way to run a business.

This caller is not recognized as all phone calls get a response even if I'm on the road. So something else may have taken place beyond my control. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I called Phil after finding him here on Angie's list. I explained what I needed and the fact that I needed it done quickly because I was having some construction done and the area where my current washer and dryer was in the way of the construction. Phil got back to me quickly and we set up a date for him to stop by and give me an estimate. Phil worked around My schedule and met with me within a day. After discussing what I needed done. Phil left and called me back within 24hr with his estimate. Because of my need for speed he was willing to work on a Sunday to make sure that the work I needed done was complete before construction started. Phil was working on another job but was able to fit me in. He got the most urgent changes done first which allowed the construction people to start on time. Once that was done he worked on my projects once his day was done on his other job. He ended up coming two other times to complete the work. He worked around my schedule too, so that I could be at home while he worked. He brought all the plumbing supplies and tools with him. Phil is a very nice person with a relaxed personality. He was very easy to talk with.
Description of Work: Phil Removed the existing plumbing and electrical for a washer and dryer from one room and moved them to another room. He capped off my existing plumbing. He Updated my Dishwasher drain and tied it into my kitchen sink drain. He moved an outside faucet to a new location, and replaced a broken toilet in one of my bathrooms

In trying to fix the water spigot on the back of our house, we had accidentally ripped it completely out of the wall. I called Phillip O'Brien, who said he would come over the next morning to take a look. He ran a new pipe, through the concrete block and welded everything back together. I noticed after he left, that he had also reconnected our sprinkler system, which was definitely above and beyond our request. Mr. O'Brien is a professional and an honest businessman. I highly recommend him. I have already given his information to some neighbors. I will be sure to call him again.

I spoke to Phil on the phone and asked him when he could come over for an estimate. After I explained to him that we needed the work done soon, Phil came over for the estimate 20 minutes after we first spoke. He took his time and mapped out a plan for the work that we asked him to do. He called me back the next day with an estimate. I booked the job with him on a Thursday, he came over to do the job on Saturday. He arrived on time and began work immediately. The two tasks were completed in a timely fashion. The quality of work was excellent. Phil payed attention to detail throughout the entire project. I had a couple of other estimates and know for a fact that PTO does quality work at a fair price. I will be using PTO in the future for a different plumbing job in our house. I cannot recommend PTO with any greater confidence.
Description of Work: PTO ran an new gas line from one end of my basement to the other. The gas line was used to install our new gas range. They also took out and installed a new dishwasher.

Phill showed up exactly on time. He was polite and ready to do the job per my instructions. He has yet to do the final stage of the project but so far he has done an excellent job.
Description of Work: Phill and his partner removed existing countertops, cooktop, downdraft fan and two sinks. On 4/.15/2011 they returned after the template for the new countertop had been completed and re installed the countertops, cooktop and one sink. We were getting rid of the other sink. When the new counter top is installed Phill and partner will return and install the plumbing for the new sink and the cooktop and downdraft fan.
