excellent work

The owner, Wolfram came to my home and gave me an estimate for some minor handyman work and to repair my front lamp post which became loose and disconnected due to our snowplower pushing snow against it during the winter. After inspection of four items that were on my handyman list, he quoted me a price of between $400.00 to $450.00 and said that he charges $55.00 per hour, adding that he always estimates a little on the higher end -- just in case. I was pleased and we agreed he would come to my home 4/22/2011 at 8:00 a.m. Wolfram, who was very nice, arrived on time with a worker, who worked solely on the lamp post and Wolfram did the rest. He forgot the weatherstripping he said he would add to my front door and left with his worker for one hour. Wolfram returned alone and finished weatherstripping the door. When all the work was done, he asked for a check of $600.00. When I reminded him that he was here from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. (a total of 7 hours, including the hour he left) and also about his initial price quote, he just said . . . "I did more than I thought" AND "I have to pay my worker". This was not professional or honorable behavior in my book. Needless to say, if you hire this guy, DO NOT DO A THING WITHOUT GETTING A WRITTEN ESTIMATE FROM HIM ! I researched WM Remodeling on Angie's List and heard very good things about him -- He even has one of those awards ! I'm totally bummed and angry at myself for not getting his quote in writing ! UPDATE 5/6/2011 : This morning the hardware that Wolfram replaced on my lamp post to hold my flag had fallen off (and we have had nothing but great weather) ! I have had two great experiences here on Angie's List with providers -- this was my first "bad apple". It's too late for me, but hopefully, not you. Run, do not walk, from this provider!

The owner, Wolfram Mertz, gave us an estimate that was on target and while unexpected problems did arise during the course of the six week project, he had the solutions. What we like most about WM Remodeling is the attention to detail and that the work is actually supervised and performed by the owner of the company. WM Remodeling was also available to work around the few subcontractor we had to rely on (mirror and glass; shower doors etc) and they were always on time and professional.

This was actually a project we wanted to start a few years ago but never got around to it. We saw WM Remodeling on Angie's list a few months after we became members and having used this company years ago for a basement renovation, we immediately called the owner to give us an estimate. We recieved three other estimates and WM Remodeling's estimate was by far the most reasonable. We also knew the owner would be doing the work which was a great plus for us. If any problems arose, we knew he would be here to address them and talk them over with my husband and me. Fortunately there were no problems and over the course of 2-3 weeks the owner and his employee moved from room to room taking out the old windows and installing the new ones. They took care to cover carpeting and wood floors and protect our furniture. The entrydoor was a little trickier because of the glass windows that had to be replaced around the doors but that too was accomplished without any problems. We have noticed a difference in heating bills since this work was done and there are no more drafts in the foyer from the old windows and old door. The owner's recommendation for the bedroom windows - Marvin windows - was excellent and we love the way they look (also easy to clean). After this job was accomplished we hired WM Remodeling for two more projects in 2010. I am posting reports for these two other projects (hallway renovation in April 2010 and master bath remodeling in fall 2010)

The experience was excellent. He was very professional and he was on time. He had knowledge of and experience with the work.

In the middle of a July heat wave, my central air system stopped working. Wolf was the only local company to return my call. Other companies, when contacted, offered a repair visit in two weeks. Wolf called back after work the day of the system failure. Suspecting a Freon leak, he offered to come up after hours the same day and attempt a repair. Wolf came almost immediately and recharged the coolant system and determined that there was probably a pinhole leak causing the coolant to leak very slowly. He said such leaks are common and almost impossible to detect without disembowelment of the whole system, costing a lot of money. He recharged to system with coolant gas offered to return and put a sealer in to the coolant system, saying that he has found this product to seal effectively, lasting for a few years. This additional service was offered for about $100. The final bill for everything was about $200. Making me a very happy camper! He was extremely professional, polite, thoughtful and willing to discuss options that would save money. I was very impressed with this company.

It was a pleasant experience. He came and gave an estimate, and when we retained him, he came on the appointed days, performed the work with a high level of precision and high quality of craftsmanship, and seemed able to handle any task related to house repair. We would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone planning on doing some home repair or improvement. He is also quite pleasant, and easy to deal with. (Even our watchdogs liked him)!

First, communication was unclear. I had wanted a door into which a usual ( plastic with plastic flap) dog door could be inserted (by him). When he did order the door, he did not show me a picture of the door first, or I could have made it clear that it was not what I wanted. When the door was installed, it had a dog door which was made of wood, and was too heavy for my cat to use. I have to prop it open for her. Because the door opening was at an angle to the concrete slab (badly built in about 1960) he said he would provide a sill to close the gap. He seemed to have forgotten that. I did remind him and he did do that. A few weeks later the door no longer latched closed, and still doesn't. I didn't feel comfortable enough to want to call him back to fix that- I will have to find a way to do it myself.

We found a leak in the basement. It was the water softener. We look on Angie's list and found Wolfram. Within 10 minutes of the phone call, he came to the house and stopped the leak. It doesn't get any better than that. He came when we needed him, fixed the problem right away. He's pleasant and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

He did an excellent job all the way down the line. The price was right, and he did not overcharge me.

He was professional from start to finish and a pleasure to collaborate with on various elements of the work. He is reliable, friendly and honest in his dealings with clients. Without hesitation, I can recommend him for interior remodeling projects, although he also mentioned that he does larger-scale home additions and has trained as a home inspector which gives him intimate knowledge of construction requirements.

They have done everything including remodeling our whole kitchen. They are very reliable and professional and they do high-quality work. The price range for what they?ve done for us is pretty big and the cost depends on the type work they do.

He was most excellent. He was extremely prompt to the job, pleasant to have in the house and very clean. The price was very fair and the quality of the work was superior, as well. I've already recommended him to several of my friends and I would certainly use him again. This is the best plumber I've ever used. He does great work!

The owner was very helpful in answering all my questions during the planning period, so I could get a rough idea of the cost and complexity of several ideas my kitchen designer presented. Once the job was started, all the work was top quality. The owner is very experienced...there is nothing he can't do and he always found a solution to any problems that crept up. They always showed up promptly, they left the area neat at day's end, and they were in touch regularly with any issues or questions. As I work full time, I often called the owner in the evening to discuss things and he was always receptive to my calls.

Started on time. When decisions were needed, he clearly inquired and consulted when asked. He and his assistant worked diligently everyday. Did a few extras on our request.

They are excellent. They are professional and timely. They are neat and the work that they do is outstanding. They are easy to work with and arrived on time for the job. So far, I feel that they did a quality work.

Excellent, meticulous, original, punctual, professional contractor. we have always been pleased with his work.

America needs more people like Wolfram. He has worked for me on several jobs described above. The largest job was the deck which is about 600 square feet. He worked from architectural drawings that were not complete. He figured out all the details that the architect didn't. Construction techniques are the best. No shortcuts. The deck feels like the Rock of Gibraltar. He has completed other projects for me like retiling a bathroom which included minor wall alterations, rehanging doors and attaching hardware. Also, dealt with HVAC ductwork issues and plumbing problems. If he doesn't know how to do something, he thoroughly researches it and then tells you how to resolve the issues. Wolfram was always as courteous, punctual and professional as a person could be.

Every job has been outstanding! The quality of materials, quality of work, professionalism, neatness and punctuality. They are totally trustworthy and a pleasure to have in our home. Due to their outstanding work, they sometimes can't start work right away, but are up front about that and will begin as soon as possible. They are always worth waiting for.

Wolfram is consistently reliable with the work he performs. He is always on site to oversea all the construction and installation. He shows up on time every day until the job is done. If for some reason he is delayed, he always let's you know before hand. The mess he creates during the day is always cleaned up before he leaves at night. He is careful with every aspect & detail of the project as he himself wants to see it completed perfectly. His estimates were never exceeded unless we discussed the addition of an item or project. Most days he was left alone in the home. He let himself in most mornings and saw himself out in the evenings. He completes the job in the estimated period of time that he figures it will take. Additionally, if a problem comes up after the completion of the job, he has always come by to provide the fix. I should mention that he worked with well with our decorators.

No issues - very satisfied! W M Remodeling is a real gem!
