He started and took his time but made it perfect for what was needed. We ended up having him do some electrical work. He had another worker with him most of the time. He cleaned up after himself. We couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: He was great to work with. He gave us estimates that were lower than we expected. Our whole house interior had to be repainted, all walls and ceilings, including tearing out of old wallpaper, replacing of multiple light fixtures, redoing some of the molding.
Overall, he is great! Could not have asked for a better guy. He was on time, honest, prepared, and did a wonderful job doing the wiring. He gave us a total of what it might cost at max. and they didn't go over it. There was two people working for two days. They first do all the wiring and then they come back later when we put the drywall up so they could put the lights up for us. I would say he went out of his way for us to make sure it was how we wanted it to be. And he fit us in, in his VERY busy work week. So not to hold up our DIY basement makeover. So I do not hold against him that it may take a few days to get back or he didn't pop right over. It is just him. He did the job much faster then any other place was willing to try to do.
Description of Work: He came and wired for lighting and outlets in the basement that we were finishing, And hung all the lights up.

He was terrific. He was very nice to work with. He came when he said he would. He worked hard and had a good attitude. He did good work. He was very reasonable in his price. He was much less for all the things he did than what we expected. We kept his card on our bulletin board to call him again.
Description of Work: We used Brant Dean to fix plumbing under the sink that was a mess. He also had to fix some other stuff because we had new counters put in.

I did not use him and I don't remember the reason for not using him. He seemed nice enough but maybe I got a better estimate which I don't remember. He was pleasant and professional. I get the estimates and pick the person that I can afford or pick one of the lower priced people. I don't always go with the cheapest estimate but I factor in the personality, punctuality and the price. I probably would not use him because I am pretty sure that his price was high.
Description of Work: I received an estimate from Brant Dean a year ago to paint the inside of my townhouse.
I contacted Brant based on information I read here. I found out right from the beginning that he is very busy. He came to look over what I needed to have done and told me that if I didn't hear from him by the end of the week with an estimate that I should call him. He lets you know up front that he might not get to everything right away. You need to have patience but it is well rewarded. Both he and his helper are hard workers. They do a good job and make sure everything is cleaned up each day before they leave. You can be sure the work will be done correctly down to the smallest detail. Both men are friendly and pleasant and are easy to work with. Being a woman I am always a bit hesitant to hire someone but I never felt I was being taken advantaged of. One thing I should mention is that I had already purchased some of the materials such as the fan and outdoor lights so those did not factor in to the overall cost.
Description of Work: I had a ceiling fan installed, 2 switches replaced, a porch light and a lamppost installed. In the case of the ceiling fan and one of the switches no electric box had been installed previously so he had to do that first before he could complete the job. As for the plumbing, he repaired a leaky faucet, and replaced the spout in the bathtub. Two walls around the tub had been damaged by water. He installed tile around the enclosure and made it look as if it had been there all the time. Over the winter ice had damaged two of the railings on my front porch. He realigned and tightened them. He also built two wooden steps.

I could not use Mr Dean because I was on a tight schedule, I would still consider using him in the future
Description of Work: I called Mr Dean because I had found him here on Angie's List. I left a message for him to call to get an estimate. He called me about a week later. He and his family had been on vacation. I had already contracted with someone else to do the work. I was grateful to Mr Dean for his followup phone call. Many people never return message calls if they are not interested in the job or can't do the job. Mr Dean took the time to call and explain why there was a delay. That simple act of courtesy, makes me want to consider his services in the future.

It went great, Brant is a real help! He doesn't provide sophisticated, computerized invoicing, but it is clear that Brant is a very hard worker and committed to his customers.
Description of Work: Brant kept my roof clear of ice and did several odd jobs around the house. He is a hard working, reliable guy. I was located out of state and he proactively called me about my home after a bad snow storm. Really appreciate his strong sense of service.

So far, He has done a wonderful job!
Description of Work: Brant came and wired our whole basement with very little notice. I thought it was nice of him to work us in. They did all the wiring in one day. However, our basement is all open and was easy for them to get to everything and was like a clean slate. So that might not be the case with everyone. They have not finished the job yet, because we have to finish putting up the walls and paint and then he is going to come back and hang the lights and put the outlets in. But A+ work. He has a great eye for things as well. You can tell he is a wonderful handyman.
I contacted Brant based on prior Angies List comments and he is everything the others said he was. The floor installation is almost done and I find Brant responsive, cheerful and pleasant to work with, highly competent, honest, well-priced, and I would recommend him highly, except I want him to spend more time working in my home and not to move to new customers too quickly! We have discussed more work, which will include sheetrocking/spackling, painting, etc. I have been doubling up with another contractor at the same time, who told me he'd hire Brant to work with him on building his own house, which is the best confirmation of my own gut feeling that I can think of.
Description of Work: Brant and his helper installed a bamboo floor purchased from Lumber Liquidator, with an insert of ceramic tiles. He also very agreeably stayed on to help with drywall and painting.

The repair job was completed as described in a timely fashion. Cosmetic work to the ceiling and the painting was completed as expected with great results. I am very happy with the work. It has been several months since the repair and I have no problems with water leaks or drips again. The paint coverage is also excellent. There is no bleeding through of any staining or mold.
Description of Work: A plumbing vent in my attic had cracked and was leaking water on my ceiling in my bathroom. The vent pipe was cut and recoupled and sealed. There was water damage to my ceiling and the sheetrock also need to mended. The sheetrock was repaired with mudding and sanding. The water damaged was treated and painted with mold resistant paint.

It went well. He was able to get the panel installed correctly, and repaired the damage done by the previous contractor. Considering he had never done this kind of installation before, he did very well. The price was quite reasonable.
Description of Work: Installation of a solar hot air panel. The installation was half-completed and botched by a previous contractor.

He did an excellent job. The floors look great and exceeded our expectations. He also did a great job with the floor transitions. He finished the job on time and on budget. Brant is polite, friendly, and flexible.
Description of Work: Installed porcelain tile flooring in 3 bathrooms, 1 mudroom and 1 walk-in closet.
He did a lot of house repairs for me. He did about 7 or 8 different things for me. He is very reliable. He did some electrical work, some plumbing work, and some interior painting work. He replaced some windows for me. I thought he was great. He was reliable and did what he was going to do. His cost was reasonable. I spent about $600 on the job, which included materials. I will definitely use his services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Brent Dean, two weeks ago.
Brant made it possible to sell our home. He is a true professional. He is friendly, prompt, and hard working. He is also a perfectionist. Everything he fixed looks spectactular. He is very neat and cleaned any work mess at the end of the day. He even brought his own rug to lay down near the door to clean his feet as he made trips to and from his work vehicle. We trusted him enough to give him a key to our home to work when we were not there. You will not find another person who does such quality work for such an affordable price. We will definitely call on Brant for any future home improvement projects.
Description of Work: Retiled a bathroom. Repaired cracks in and repainted two huge ceilings. Replaced several electrical switches. Fixed front door knobs. Finished a sliding door exit. Finished molding around windows. Fixed molding around front door. Installed new faucet in bathtub. Repaired holes in drywall. Painted walls.

While there was a bit of a delay in replacing these doors because Mr. Dean seems to be extremely busy, the work was done completely in one day. He did an Absolutely Excellent Job!! While I don't use these doors every day, I still get a thrill every time I turn the door knobs or lock them. They work so well. Both doors and frames were in quite poor condition and Mr. Dean had to replace most of both frames and sills.
Description of Work: Mr. Dean and his assistant replaced 2 rotting wood doors and frames, my front porch door and a rear garage door, with metal doors with windows.
