The price quoted by Suffolk County Carpenter Handyman was probably a little bit higher than it should have been. They showed up four hours early and I was supposed to pick up supplies prior to them coming so it created an issue. They didn't cut any wood to fit, they just jammed the wood into place, which then made the rest of the door frame uneven so now the door does not close properly. There is a gap at the top of the door and the door doesn't fully shut now. They chipped a lot of paint and wood from part of the door frame on the other side and they left a pretty big mess. They were friendly. I called the owner about this a week after the fact as I had to go out of town the day after the work was done and he would not entertain coming back for a repair to the work that was done. I highly suggest staying away from this company.
Description of Work: Suffolk County Carpenter Handyman replaced a door jam.

I got this company from Angie's List and had them come and give an estimate which the worker told us we needed to get all of these other things done or it would damage the house. We said okay and agreed to a set price. I had asked that the prices be broken down and they never were and when I ask each time, I am given another price quote. The first day they power washed the house which was good and the second day they did the construction work that we had contracted for but they never finished the job and also ripped down our gutters and never put them back. I have been trying to call them but they don't get back to me and I have to keep calling. They require payment up front before doing the work and they say I still owe them money but I have paid 85% due and the work is not even close to be done. I do not feel that this company is a honest company in dealing with for large projects.
Description of Work: They were supposed to work outside by power washing the house and caulking around all the windows and other outdoor projects. The work was not completed and they have not shown up in almost two months to finish the work.

Response from SUFFOLK COUNTY CARPENTER HANDYMAN
The member received a verbal estimate with price quotes. A contract was typed & faxed (Contract=$6550). She read & signed the contract over 1 1/2 wk giving her ample time to make any necessary changes &/or additions. A $500 deposit given as in any business transaction. (Since inception scheduling problems experienced.) On 10/31 worked 3 days straight: Power washing, installation of bead board vinyl siding w/ bendable j-channels, caulking & installation of vents leaving very few items to be completed. Money paid $4025 as work done. Rescheduled 11/19. (Customer out of town.) However, due to weather, scheduling, Thanksgiving unable to return that week or the following of 11/26. She called 11/30 wishing to cancel remainder of contract (crown molding inside, installation of shelf, attic door, deck caulking) in order to use the money to fix her leaky porch. (Credit given $1150). Leaving a new balance of $875. She became irate saying that she did not owe any more money & is now demanding a refund on services already rendered. Proposal to credit her account ($875) to get another contractor to finish the odds and ends. (Approx 2 hrs worth of work.) She rejected the idea, later stating that she was only willing to pay $475 with the ultimatum that the work could only be done between 12/3 & 12/10! Thereby leaving little or no opportunity for us to complete the job, while in addition attempting to blemish our A-1 rating in customer satisfaction!

The two uniformed workmen arrived on time and did the work without any problems. They had all the latest equipment, and cleaned up when done. The job was well planned and took about an hour and half from start to finish. I would recommend them. If had to point out a weakness it would be with the office who took my calls. I never got a copy of the contract they promised to send me until the day the workmen came to do the work.
Description of Work: They built a door frame and hung bi-fold louver doors to hide a stack washer and dryer that protruded from the closet where it was installed.

THE WORK IS EXCELLENT. THEY HAVE WONDERFUL WORKERS. THE ONLY THING IS THAT THEY ARE HARD TO GET A HOLD OF. THEY ARE LATE TO SHOW UP OR DON'T SHOW UP AT ALL. THEY ARE JUST DISORGANIZED ON THEIR SCHEDULING.
Description of Work: THEY DID SOME PAINTING IN THE INSIDE, PUT IN AN ATTIC FAN AND ADDED SOME GUTTERS. THEY DO ALL AROUND THE HOUSE TYPE OF THINGS.
