handyman service
+ -1 moreThe handyman first sealed the modeling, not the floor as per his instructions. The work everywhere was sloppy and obvious. Furniture was moved--mostly he made me move it myself-but never moved back. Cans of material that were used were left everywhere. The man was unprofessional and certainly a mess. He finished a half-hour early and did not offer to do anything else. Will never use again and do not recommend.
Description of Work: sealing of floor cracks, ceiling, walls, installation of sliding drawer

handyman service, doors
+ 0 moreI had a bathroom door with loose cherry veneer that prevented it from closing. Over the phone, David suggested just replacing it with an oak veneer hollow-core door and staining it cherry. The first problem was that the arrival of the workman and delivery of door were not well coordinated -- the workman had to wait, and when the door came, it had a crack and had to be returned. We rescheduled for two days later, and the door was delivered, but was not the proper size (although I had given exact dimensions), and the workman did not have a plane with him. Rescheduled again, and finally it was installed and stained. Appearance is acceptable, but not great. However, the workman was skilled, punctual, and intelligent, and a pleasure to employ. The price was very reasonable. The workman also repaired other loose veneer in the apartment, and he was resourceful and skilled.
Description of Work: Replaced a bathroom door, stained it, and did other minor woodworking repairs in apartment.

+ -1 moreUnorganized company. Failure to be prepared for a job.
Description of Work: I contracted with Imacuclean for a ceiling repair job and painting service. I was provided an estimate and confirmed the job. I was told all materials would be provided. Upon the employees arrival he had no materials. His supervisors had informed him that I, as the client, would have all the necessary materials. This was an hourly job and I was told by Torrie, the supervisor, that because I did not have any materials to complete a the job (i.e plaster etc) the employee would have to leave and purchase the materials. Additionally, I would be charge for the hours he was not on the job. I informed her the mistake was on their end and as a client, who was contracting for two jobs that day with them (carpentry and painting), should not take the responsibility of the hours needed to obtain the materials for the ceiling. Torrie indicated I would be responsible for the additional hours regardless of the fact it was their mistake.

flooring contractor, hardwood floor, remodeling, interior painters
+ 2 moreThey were professional, courteous, and very punctual.
Description of Work: They completely tore out a 3 door closet, which stood in the middle of two rooms. They then replaced all the flooring with new wood to match the wood that was in the rest of the room, and painted the ceiling with latex paint to match. They took 3 full days to complete the job and they did not take the garbage with them when they left.

home remodeling
+ -1 moreHe came up with creative ways to deal with a curved wall and a slightly uneven floor while installing the tiles. His demeanor was that of a down to business guy and kept in good touch through emails and cell phone. I have used him in the past for house cleaning and he did a great job of that as well.
Description of Work: He installed marble tiles on the floor and backsplash, compound walls, which he then primed and painted. They also installed the kitchen cabinets in my about 12 x 14 kitchen.

contractors
+ -1 moreJeremiah came for an initial appointment and David (the office contact) sent me a detailed estimate. Jeremiah was very reliable and showed up when scheduled or at least called if delayed. He was very focused on the task and showed great care for getting the job done. David was also really efficient and consistent in contacting me. Both were very patient with my design plans and helpful in communicating some revisions to the plan as needed. He always left the apartment clean and was careful while working. My only surprise was that all of the wood ended up being cut to fit on site. This was pretty loud....I understand that he was able to cut every line to fit exactly.....but working on a cutting table might have been slightly more precise. Not a huge deal because it still came out great at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: They built a custom designed and fit wood radiator cover. Jeremiah (the handyman...more like a true wood craftsman) came for the first appointment to discuss, then returned and completed the entire job on site in 3 days. All of the wood was cut and fitted right in the apartment. The front of the cover has 6 open slits cut out and is removable to get to the radiator. The sides have cabinet doors with hidden hinges. He spackled and sanded trying to keep everything as even as possible. I later painted this white.

handyman service, plastering
+ 0 moreThis guy is not friendly at all. The bathtub leg has fallen off again, since he did the work. The shelves that he installed are excellent though. The plaster job was good too. I was not happy with the fact, that he tried to make me pay a different price after the work was done. There were two people doing the work and it took them about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Description of Work: I had them install a shelving system that I purchased from the store, repair a leg on the tub in my bathroom, and plaster one hole in a wall.

Description of Work: The folks at Immacuclean were terrific. I needed a carpenter to install some chair rails quickly and they came right away, did the job well, were extremely pleasant and easy to work with. I will definitely use them again.

handyman service
+ -1 moreJeremiah was an efficient and highly competent workman. He completed each job with an understanding of its priorities and effective decisions. I would highly recommend this company for its quick response to my calls and its receptive attitude about the work. The company manager came to my home to assess the jobs to be done and then scheduled an appointment .
Description of Work: The handyman (Jeremiah) repaired the hinges on a swing door, replaced broken hooks in the bathroom, and a broken curtain bracket in the bedroom. He also attached a curtain rod in the living room and placed a saddle on the floor between the kitchen and the dining room.

drywall, handyman service, plastering
+ 1 moreThis job was estimated on 8/16 by one person who came to my home and then said he would return to do the actual work;however, he did not return. Another man came to my home on 8/22 to do the work (he was 1 hour late). He was very pleasant but his work was just adequate and not worth $45/hour which I think is quite high for such work.
Description of Work: Drywall and plasterwork completed by a handyman to fill in @ 2 space around a new circuit breaker panel which had been installed by an electrician (not affiliated with Imacuclean).

handyman service
+ -1 moreThis company performed well from the first phone call to the end of the job. The phone person was friendly and efficient and to my amazement, especially for Manhattan, gave me an appointment for later that very day. Their system is efficient as well. They calculate how long your job will take and tell you in advance exactly what the job will cost. No surprises! Only $45 an hour! The handyman arrived on time. He was polite and professional and got right to work with no interruptions. The job took three hours just as I was told. He gave me a small survey to fill out after the job and I was glad to give him and the service high marks.
Description of Work: Had old carpet in one bedroom pulled up, cut in pieces, and bagged.

handyman service
+ -1 moreThey worked quickly and neatly. Instead of dragging a large, rolled up rug into my buildings elevator, they quickly cut it into smaller pieces which they were easily able to take down in trash bags. They did a good job and even wiped off the furniture with a paper towel when they finished. They were very pleasant and polite. They offered to assemble a piece of furniture, something I had not asked them to do, because they had not filled the first time minimum of 3 hours. Because they did not have the appropriate tools we will set a time for them to come back.
Description of Work: They moved furniture to remove a large old area rug, disposed of the rug, laid down the padding and the new area rug, and returned the furniture.
