Classy Craftsmen

I've used him many times. Everything is excellent. They do the best. He made some faux columns to hide some i-beams. He painted the ceiling in a room. Also put in a new floor board to hide some water damage. I'd definitely use them again. He also replaces the motor on the furnace.

It went great. They showed up as expected, moved part of our basement gym and completed all of the work in one day. They left the place cleaner than they found it and did everything on the list. All of the work looks great. They even took down and reinstalled a mirror I had left on the basement wall. These guys do a great job.

His name was Dave. It was a Big Deal that I purchased. They were very upfront and understanding. They were very professional. Their carpenter was excellent and I had no problem with the pricing. I would most definitely use them again.

Excellent. Looks great (like new, if not better) and works very well. CC isn't the cheapest handyman company, but they do a fantastic job, which is why we've used them several times on both small and big projects. While I gave them a "B" on price (based on a strict comparison of quotes), I'd give them an "A" on value.

After being told that a plumbing leak was going to involve tearing out most of the wall, ceiling and floor affected by the leak and two days of plumbers to repair the leak I called Dave at Classy Craftsmen. Dave inspected the leak, we discussed several options for the repair; none of which entailed the major tear out of walls,etc. While he was at my home I had Dave prepare an estimate for the replacement of the floor in the master bedroom and some other small repairs. Scheduling has been done to work with my schedule; everything has been completed on time and correctly. I plan on using this group again and would recommend them to anyone.

Contacted this company via e-mail on 10/13 and received a response within 30 minutes. We discussed the work and he told me he would call the evening of the 16th to schedule a time for an estimate that same week. I have yet to hear from him. Seems this guy has a real customer service problem.

Things went really well. It was easy to set up and appointment and Dave was great to work with assessing all of the issues. It took a little work to get the quote due to some technical issues but the quote was clear and precise. They completed the work over 3 days because each phase was a different person but was very heappy with the finished product. They did everything they said they would and everything looked even better than I was expecting. They cleaned up and the bill was exactly as expected even though part f the job was time and materials. Very pleased.

Seemed like a nice enough guy, but I called him twice to come over and give me an estimate. Once he gave it to me about 2 months late and apologized. I didn't go with him. About a couple of years later, not remembering this was the same guy, I called him again to do another estimate. He showed up, took down some notes, and said he'd get back to me. Never got back to me. This guy seems like he's good when he does the work, but just blows people off when the job isn't big enough without even responding. Do NOT go with him.

The entire project could not have gone better. They showed up on time every day and kept in contact with me regarding their schedule. They were flexible and willing to work around various issues with my schedule. They were very fastidious with the demoliton and were extra careful when removing all old materials. Every aspect of the remodel was done with a high level of expertise and professionalism. They were able to solve problems that other contractors did not offer to attempt, leading to a much more attractive final result than I would have gotten if I had chosen a different contractor. They took extra time with the details such as staining the baseboards to match the existing woodwork. The wall and ceiling repairs were expertly completed and I am very picky about such things. Everything was completely clean when they left. The cost came in in line with the bid and I will definitely be calling these guys for every single project I have going forward. Top notch.

It didn't go very well at all. We had an appointment to meet us at our house at 2:00 pm. Didn't show up, didn't call. Now we have to search for another handyman to get some things done before we move into our house. Very disappointing.

Requested bid through Angie's list e-mail. Got a response in about an hour. Bid was detailed and specific. Work began on time with several excellent hard workers who always cleaned up at the end of the day. They spent almost 2 weeks prepping our Tudor house repairing stucco and scraping wooden surfaces. This inluded getting rid of yellow jacket nest. Dave back at the office kept us apprised of stages of the work. We were impressed with the attention to detail of the workers and the great follow up and communiciation from the "office" part of the team.

Mr. Beck should learn the first rules of customer service: work with your customer. His company removed a window casing from a bathroom we are remodeling. His carpenter did a crappy job leaving old woodwork riddled with old nails laid on our floor. Additionally, he was supposed to return to install what now was new woodwork due to the changes in the bathroom. It took an ENTIRE week to try to schedule this simple job. Mr. Beck was NEVER available - only answered the phone twice in about 10 calls that we had back and forth. He kept calling different numbers and promising calls back that would take forever. AND once he scheduled the appointment which was at HIS convenience, he CHANGED the appointment on me because he chose to commit his contractor somewhere else. Here's a "don't": DON'T HIRE HIM IF YOU WANT THE JOB DONE. The man should learn to run a business. Plenty of carpenters out there. Thank God! e-

I am extremely pleased with the results. Brady is an excellent painter very meticulous. I had additional striping on walls that turned out really well. Greg and Joe also did excellent with electric , window and shutter installation. I am planning within the year to have all interior walls painted and if price is right will definitely have Dave's team do it. They are a great company to work with very professional. I usually have work done by recomendation from family or friends so I was very skeptical using the internet. I would highly recommed Classey Craftsmen.

Dave Beck is very easy to work with. If you are clear about your expectations, he is willing to do as little or as much design/planning of the project as you need. His crew are very neat and personable, particularly Brady and Joe. Very nice to work with. From assisting with tile, plumbing, and fixture selection, to working aroung the existing bathtub as requested, all went very smoothly. Even the unexpected, such as small damages to plaster in adjoining rooms which was unavoidable, was handled efficiently and almost without comment. Once the project began, it was completed almost exactly as estimated. He has done other projects for me previously with similar experiences.

It was great I was very pleased their work. They were very attentive to detail and accommodated to our satisfaction.

He took measurements, walked the property, talked to us about color selection and discussed some other work that we were considering. He took my email address, promised to follow-up, and we never heard a word from him. No call, no email, no estimate. I guess he wasn't interested in the job.

Promptly came out to give a quote. Made suggestions and worked with me to tailor the quote to my needs. We scheduled the work to be done. Work was delayed about a week due to the extreme heat, but I was kept in communication the whole time and the work was done as soon as possible, and was a high quality. The quote wasn't the lowest, and definitely not the highest, but I was very impressed by the company, the work, and I'd definitely hire them again in the future.

He was very professional. They were detail oriented and did good work. He is a little pricey. We had a slight problem because they went to replace a few windows and they got the wrong windows. They ended up getting the right windows in pretty quickly. It was an okay experience overall, but the price was a little high.

This job was completed while I was away from my home. They did a good job removing the barm and cleaning up. Afterward they re-sodded the area where the barn was located, which went above and beyond anything I had expected. I am in the process of selling my home and you can't even tell there was a barn there previously.

Everything about their operation is excellent! They arevery specific and detail oriented when writing up the estimates and cost. It is evident that they focus on that part of the business.

By e-mail, on the 4th of July, 2011, I requested an estimate on having our deck painted. I received a quick reply thanking me for an interest in his business. He proceeded to say that he would stop by and then e-mail me with an approximate cost of doing the job. Today's date is July 18th, 2011. Haven't heard anything more from him. I did tell him to come at his convenience. But 2 weeks have gone by with no communication of any kind. Seems like a "no show" to me. I will move on to someone else with my business.

Our first appointment with Dave was on May 12. We needed to have our back door repaired and spoke to him about some landscaping we would like to do and a drainage issue in our back yard. After our initial meeting we were very excited and felt that Dave understood what we wanted/needed. We finally received a proposal from Dave on May 27, and this was after a follow-up call to ask why we hadn't heard from him. He apologized and explained that he sent the email to the wrong person in his contacts list. Fine - everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. On June 6 I responded that we were interested in moving forward and made another appointment for Dave to come out on June 10. He wanted to bring a landscaper to help with the quote for expanding our patio. On June 10 we felt the appointment went well and were very excited about their ideas. There were a couple of curious things, however. Dave didn't want to provide a contract. He told me that a handshake would seal the deal and this is how he operated with most customers. We also asked when they could start. They both looked at each other, as if they were having a silent conversation, and never gave us any kind of commitment. I did not hear from Dave again until July 4! At this point my husband and I were feeling uncomfortable with Dave?s lack of response. We had also decided to forgo the patio and go to Hawaii instead. I responded to Dave on July 6, telling him of the change in the work, and asked for a revised proposal along with a contract. Dave responded on July 12 and basically blew us off. His response follows in quotes ? ?I assume I messed up somewhere along the line with you. Whatever I did, I apologize, and I there?s no need for you to feel obligated to stick with us for the other projects. We actually keep quite busy. For the French drain, I recommend XYZ Company (changed for the purpose of this review). For the other work, I really don?t know who to recommend. Any skilled and conscientious carpenters I come across, I usually hire?? I guess a $2,000 job wasn?t as important was a $10,000 job. We definitely saw a trend with Dave, which is his lack of response. Also, his reluctance to sign a contract or commit to a begin date threw up red flags. Dave told me he built his business as a result of good grades on Angie?s list. It seems like maybe his business grew to the point where it?s more than he can handle.

My wife bought me a Big Deal coupon for Christmas. It was for a handyman for a day. We had some trouble setting up a meeting time because our schedules didn’t really match up, but he assured me the expiration date wouldn’t be a problem the whole time. He came out and gave me some estimates, then sent me 9 proposals totalling $62,826.00. It started out as $299 coupon and ended in him advising thousands of dollars worth of home improvements. We exchanged emails and again had trouble matching up the dates for a meeting time, and I told him I only wanted to do the work from the coupon. He then at that time told me it was expired and I couldn’t use it, even though all along he told me the expiration wasn't going to be an issue. Since he kept it going, the deal expired and I was unable to get my money back.

He came out and we talked through what we wanted. He wasn't able to get back to us with the quote because he had a family emergency and so we never ended up getting a quote. He was polite and he had good ideas. He was on time. He could have got back to us whenever he could and we would have been happy to discuss further but he never did. We would have probably used him.

Generally went really well. Was very responsive via email, was never able to get them to answer phone calls, but responded promply via email. Put in gutter repair, and I asked them to make some adjustments, which they did. Painting was done very professionally by clean-cut gentlemen. Missed a couple windows with caulk and they were more than happy to do it when I pointed it out. Always there by 7:30 and worked until 4 or 4:30 most days. Never worried about my wife's safety...very professional. Would use them again!
