Steve did an excellent job and was able to spend 7 hours dealing with the issues of an older home, such as the excessive studs to fish wires around. He finished it all in one day of solid work, and the results were excellent. He is also a very good guy and a pleasure to have around. We would hire him again in an instant and most likely will do so when we buy another home with its little surprises in hiding. You cannot go wrong because he has very wide-ranging expertise. His prices are quite reasonable, and the results are high quality.
Description of Work: We needed some lights,cabinets, and doors installed as part of updating the house before putting it on the market. Many of the lights did not have electrical boxes for mounting or the wires were not near the center of the new lights.

Steve is a WONDERFUL man! Very punctual, great work ethic. Cannot say enough good things about him. And the price is right!!! Before he left, I hired him again for a bigger job in the summer. He was able to give me an estimate right then, talked about supplies, etc. I am sure I will be hiring him again after that for more things. Very reliable and pleasant. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help around the house. :)
Description of Work: Steve removed a very old work bench from my basement wall, fixed 1/4 round in a couple of rooms, adjusted front door to eliminate draft, checked to drains for me.

We are quite happy with what he did. He did what he said he was going to do. He told us way ahead of time that he is going to take extra amount of time and is not very fast. He called us in the meantime and updated us the progress.
Description of Work: He replaced a door that was outside so he had to place a special order and get it.

On time and worked efficiently - had all necessary tools. Cleaned up - very respectful of my home. I had several ceiling fans to be installed, but unfortunately this could not be done because he needed a 12' ladder - otherwise, he would have done the electrical work - trained as an electrician.
Description of Work: Interior/Exterior door painting; installed new hardware on all kitchen cabinets and doors (including storm door), installed switch plates; repaired pantry cabinet in kitchen (expert carpentry work); polyurethaned window sills in bedroom; insulated areas in garage;installed new mailbox; II cannot remember everything else, but I felt like I had won the lottery - all the little things that had needed to be done for years, were now done to perfection. I used ChoreBusters on 3 different occasions this month.

Description of Work: I called chore busters on Sunday 9/02/12, and was told they charge $50.00 per hour for labor plus any parts needed which I thought was pretty high for a handyman but was also told my particular job ( replace 2 sets of faucet handles to laundry tubs) should not take more than 1 hour to complete. I made an appointment for the following Wednesday 9/05/12. The repair man arrived on time. I was not able to greet this handyman into our home myself . However my husband was here to let the repairman into our home. The man went into our basement where our laundry room is located. .He looked at what was needed to complete the task and then he came back upstairs to let my husband know what parts were needed to make the repairs. He then went to hardware store to purchase parts. He did not give an estimate on how much the parts would cost to make the repair t to my husband . Which I think he should have done , however I was not at home as mentioned earlier . My husband thinks he was gone about 45 minutes Which is much too long since the hardware store he went to was only about 3 miles from our home. Remember now I am paying this handyman $50.00 per hour for his labor !He came back to our home , went back to the laundry room started the repairs . He then came back upstairs to tell my husband that there was a mistake with the parts that he had purchased. I do not know if was due to his error or the store's error ? I would think as a handyman being in business for more than 10 years he would not make a mistake such as this causing him to return to the store again and come back to complete the job. Again remember I am paying him $50.00 per hour. So all said and done it cost me $12.00 for the parts and 2 1/2 hours of labor @ $50.00 per hour. Total was = 137.00 . I am glad the work is done but the handles do not even match . Not that it is very important but for the price I may have been able to have a certified plumber do the same thing and had matching handles ? Chorebusters did the work and it was done the same day but I think I would not really reccomend because I thought it would only cost around $70.00 total for labor and parts .Chorebusters is ok but expensive .

Response from ChoreBusters Handyman Service
I'm sorry you were not completely satisfied. My estimate without seeing the job was one hour plus parts if only the handles had to be replaced on the two laundry tubs as described. However, after seeing the job, I realized the faucets had to be totally rebuilt before new handles could be added. On one tub, the stems were so stripped on the handle end and so corroded on the washer end that the stems had to be replaced. Before leaving to get the parts, I explained to your husband what parts were needed and he realized they would be hard to obtain because the faucets were so old. Because the faucets were so old, it took a long time for the employees at the hardware store to find parts that would work. I had to return to the store because the store employee forgot to put something in the bag (I did not charge for the time I had to return to the store). The handles on the two laundry tubs couldn't be matched because they were two totally different style stems. I could have replaced the stems on both laundry tubs so the handles would match, but it would have cost more to replace the stems. If you double check your bill, you will see the total charged included 1.5 hours of labor and $52 in parts, which was only a half hour longer than my estimated time even though a larger scope of work was completed.

He is courteous and polite. He's prompt and always does a good job. He's the best handyman I've found and I've been using him for about four years now.I trust his judgement and is very trustful. He comes up with suggestions on different things that may need to be done and it always works out great. I would definitely recommend him.
