The old house we live in didn't have an outside dryer vent. We called, got an estimate within a couple of days, and had the work scheduled. He came out right on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up any trace he had ever been there. Except for a professional-looking vent and new gas valve. Couldn'thave gone more smoothly.
Description of Work: They are very busy, so you may have to wait a bit. It was worth waiting.

They were great. I am very happy with the work. The employees of the company did the work. They were on time. They were out at 7:00 a.m. The work was done in one day, which was the time they said they would take. The painting job was beautiful. The work was so much easier than doing it by me. They worked very efficiently and the end result was very nice. I got a special and good deal on the price. I paid $1200 for the service. I plan to use them again in the future.

I didn't end up using them for either job. Their estimates were enough higher than other bids that I could get a fine job done for less than their bids.
Description of Work: I have solicited bids on two jobs from this company. They are very helpful and give a very thorough estimate.

Previously had him for an $8000 job and was very satisfied. It was exterior painting for the home, he put in a brand new door, and stained my deck and fence. For this job I had him out for the estimate. He spent an hour answering questions and was very helpful. After that meeting we never heard back from him and never got an estimate or heard anything at all.

The painters were very professional. They insured I knew what work was going to occur. They arrived early. They spent quite a bit of time prepping to insure the final coat of paint would look good. Dave Beck suggested alternatives along the way. They were able to reuse some materials, reducing the estimate. They did a very good job.
Description of Work: Classy Craftsmen painted the outside trim and front and rear doors on my brick home. They installed new glass block basement windows. They repaired and painted the soffit over my front stoop and replaced two outside light fixtures.

This large project was done with the upmost care and consideration for our home. Furniture and carpeting was covered and construction mess cleaned up everyday. Everything was removed from my home/garage and disposed of. All items were delivered to me and the company and the workers handled all furniture moving and replacement. They will be completing another full bathroom remodel, followed by a full kitchen remodel. We are very happy with everything and no issues with any of the employees or how the work was done.
Description of Work: Our 40 year old home needed updating and remodeling. This company has completed 1 full bath gutting and total remake of the master bath and another half bath. Master was converted to a large shower with decorative tile on walls and ceiling, ceiling fan and light installed, new vanity, top, faucet, toilet, lighting, plumbing, painting, installed baseboards. The half bath was drywall repair/replacement and everthing that was listed for the master bath.

They are very professional and competent. They are not very good about communication, they are slow to get back to you and not punctual. I do feel like they are competent, though. We will for sure be hiring them for the work.

Dave Beck was a pleasure to work with. Although he was a bit slow in getting an estimate to us, he was very prompt and delivered all services on the timing promised. He worked with us to get the best price and service for our money, even suggesting ways to do a job differently/more effectively. Dave was very professional as were his workmen and I felt very comfortable leaving them in my home when I wasn't there. His interior painters did an outstanding job prepping and painting our plaster walls and ceiling, making them look brand new! The painting was done to perfection - I love this room now. I would highly recommend them! The only work I wasn't extremely happy with was the cement repair work - it was not as professional and polished as the rest of the work done by Dave's crew. However, Dave immediately addressed the issue and corrected the work at no charge. I will definitely use Classy Craftsmen again!
Description of Work: Overall, I was very pleased with the work done by Classy Craftsmen. We had a number of jobs done - kitchen vinyl flooring, wallpaper removal & wall prep, interior painting, deck repair (boards replaced) & painting, minor carpentry repair in our garage and front stone walkway and foundation cement repair.

Dave Beck had given us an estimate of work to be done five years ago. We didn't complete the work at that time, but decided we finally wanted him to do the work. Contacted him via e-mail, and he said he could give us an updated estimate, that his business had grown, so he could definitely help us. Date and time of meeting was set (5/17/2010). He called before meeting and said he was running late and would be 1/2 hour late. I said okay. He came and looked at what we needed done. He made suggestions on other projects he could do and said he would get us an estimate (via e-mail) by the end of the week. Didn't hear from him by the end of that week. E-mailed him asking where the estimate was. He replied to say he was busy but would have it to us in another week. Well, here it is July 2, and we never did receive an estimate. This was very disappointing. If he didn't have time to do the work or apparently even give an estimate, why would he take up our time and his? Why didn't he just tell us he was too busy? Not professional at all.
Description of Work: Came to our house to give estimate on interior painting, carpentry, flooring, and other projects neeced to be done.

The Classy Craftsmen were great. Each person that came to my house to do work was very professional, prompt, accommodating and did superior work. Classy Craftsmen were able to stick to the time line that they originally set. I would recommend this company to anyone!
Description of Work: Classy Craftsmen "re" finished my bathroom after I had a very poor job done by a previous plumber. Classy Craftsmen fixed multiple areas of drywall, installed a new sink and toilet, sealed the tile shower, caulked window, hung crowne molding, painted and re-hung mirror and accessories.

Was late in showing up due to family medical issues which is understandable. When he showed up I took him to various places of the house to show what I needed estimates on. Not sure they would deliver the most cost effective solutions as he kept trying to upsell things on the work. For instance add cedar wood to a closet that we wanted adding or to replace a garage door with a cat door even though I did not ask about the garage door work and the cat door was sealed. To top it all off no estimate was ever sent echoing other reports.

Very well. Very high quality job, great attention to detail. I am someone who was a very strong eye for the details, and typically find that even the best contractors do a great job, but miss some of the final details. Not Dave and his crew. I can honestly say that they did a 100% excellent and thorough job. They even took the house numbers off the front porch siding, sanded them, and repainted (sprayed) them. Got permission first, didn't charge. Those are the kind of details and extra service that are rare.
Description of Work: Exterior house painting: scraping, replacing rotten wood siding on one side of 2nd story dormer, priming, painting. Also painted concrete front porch/steps.

This was our second time using Classy Craftsmen (they painted the exterior of our house 2 years ago) and the experience was just as positive this time around. They are professional and courteous, and most importantly, the attention to detail and quality is incredible! They have the best painters we've ever used - we recommend them without reservation. Dave Beck, the owner, is very knowledgeable and helpful. We had a tight deadline to get the work done and we needed help getting the project within budget. He had several creative ideas to help us save money and he made sure the work was done on time. In addition, Classy Craftsmen does almost anything needed, so it was really nice to have to deal with only one contractor to coordinate all the different projects.
Description of Work: We had Classy Craftsmen do 4 major projects and a number of small fix-its, including: (i) paint master bedroom, bathroom and 2 WIC; (ii) replace master bedroom carpet with hardwood flooring; (iii) replace wall-to-wall carpet in 2nd floor hallway and on stairs from basement to main floor and from main floor to second floor; (iv) powerwash and stain 2 decks and backyard fence. The more minor items included installing several additional cable TV, phone and electrical, installing a new hose spigot in the garage, replacing a damaged gutter, and fixing a sticky door.

I had high hopes based on the grade of "A" and the great reports listed on line for this provider. Unfortunately, I was not one of the lucky ones. I had an appointment for an estimate on Wednesday, June 2nd. Dave never showed up and never called. I called him late that afternoon to see what happened. No one answered. I did receive a call back later that night with apologies and confirmation that the appointment was missed. He agreed to show up the next day. He did follow through showing up and I was able to show him what I needed taken care of. He took a lot of notes and was very congenial, easy to talk to. Shared ideas, etc. However, it's been over a week and I've not yet seen a promised proposal in email. For my part, I failed to ask when I should expect that proposal and if I accepted the amount, terms, etc., when work could start. Maybe it's a busy time of year? Maybe he just doesn't want the work? I'll never know since a follow up call (again made by me) has not been returned in over 24 hours. I've moved on to other providers which hopefully work out much better. I need to get this house on the market and had planned to use Dave's company for A LOT of repairs that I cannot do and much more. It seemed great to find a company that was able to do so many different things.

Response from Classy Craftsmen
Not fair. Following is my quote, oddly enough sent the very day this member submitted her report. I visited her home free of charge, identified the source of a substantial leak which had been ongoing for months, and had escaped others previous to me, and had been very frustrating for this member. I provided a detailed proposal one week from date of visit. Classy Craftsmen 1445 Colonial Drive Cincinnati OH 45238 "Member" Cincinnati OH June 10, 2010 Re: Proposal Sorry for the delay. Not my normal operandi… we’ve been very popular lately. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I am pleased to offer the following for your consideration. Toilet: Rebuild innards of one toilet as necessary to cease constant/intermittent loss of water. Also, replace one supply valve and supply line. Total for this item will be $140 Shower: Remove already damaged drywall from wall at head of tub, to access shower valve. Replace leaky shower valve with Moen single handle valve, similar to current. Repair affected drywall wall, ready for prime and paint by you. Total for this item will be $475 If the existing valve turns out to be salvageable (perhaps the leak is coming only from a copper pipe, etc.), we will reuse it and cost will be reduced by $160. Front Landscape: Modest landscape around front porch only, to include… Remove and dispose of all shrubs/bushes, various plantings Remove large stump in front yard Establish/define modest mulch bed with serpentine edging (we will discuss with you, and mark it, before we dig in) Supplement with topsoil as needed, to elevate the landscape, making it more visible from the street and concealing some of the foundation Install mix of evergreen shrubs, perennials, and two specimen trees. We will discuss this as well, and get your approval of a sketch. Mulch, grade, seed, straw, and first watering. It is important that you continue to water the new landscape to keep the soil moist for first 6 weeks. A reasonable budget for this project is $2900. I know you are a bit of a do-it-yourselfer, so… option for removal and disposal of shrubs only, removal and clean-up of tree stump, and delivery of 30 bags of premium black mulch to your driveway… $1300 Let me know if I’ve forgotten anything. Payment for completed items is due on receipt of invoice. Cash, or check made to Classy Craftsmen. Our schedule would allow completion of the interior items as soon as this coming Monday. Landscape work would, ideally, be after week following July 4. If you need it sooner, we can accommodate. I hope the above is acceptable. If we are favored with your business, you can count on superior workmanship delivered by courteous conscientious professionals. Please call or email if you have questions, or if you wish to accept and proceed, and discuss schedule. We look forward to being of service. Sincerely, Dave Beck Classy Craftsmen 513-207-1865

I called this company to get bids on the following projects: Painting interior of our house, new gutters, new door. They were prompt in coming and said that they would email a bid. After 2 weeks there was still no bid so I sent them an email through Angie's List. There was no response. We have since hired a another company.

Dave and his crew were very professional and courteous, and paid attention to details and were happy to answer my numerous questions along the way. The patching, crown molding, and painting work were all very high quality. They started and finished exactly when they said they would, and did a nice job cleaning up. The price was very fair for the amount of work they did.
Description of Work: Dave and his crew first patched a large hole in our plaster wall left from replacing an old cast iron stack. They installed crown molding in two rooms, and then painted those two rooms, our hall bath, and a large walk-in closet. They also did some patching and patch-painting for the 1" holes left from our insulation project a few months earlier. Painting included the crown molding and window trim (and baseboads in one room). They used some paint we had from a previous job, and then matched it and supplied the additional they needed.
