Dave has been extremely responsive to my needs, provides quotes for work I request plus makes suggestions for me to consider based on his personal experience(without any ''hard sell''). His work is always competed thoroughly and neatly, and he and his staff are extremely pleasant and polite. I will continue to use him for a range of home improvement/repair needs.
Description of Work: Dave has done a number of jobs for me over the past several years (from a few hundred, to $13,000 for a major project), from basic household repairs, playset refinishing, replacing fence rails, etc., to recently arranging for extensive landscaping that beautifully complements a home addition.

Exceptional job! Dave Beck, the proprietor, responded promptly with a quote and did the work within the time frame he quoted. They did a great job, were on time, we hardly noticed them, and they cleaned up as if they weren't there. I won't hesitate to use them again! In fact, they are coming back later in the summer to paint our whole house exterior.
Description of Work: Prepped and re-painted exterior deck railings. Scraped loose paint, lightly sanded to feather edges, and applied two coats of self-priming acrylic coating.

Our estimator was polite but the price was unreasonable.
Description of Work: We received an estimate to paint the one third of our house that is siding and the cost for prep and two coats of paint came up to $6,300.00. We went with another A rated Angie's list painter who will do the same work for $3778.00.

gutter repair

They seemed to do a good job. I was a little annoyed they charged their $89 visit fee for showing up and telling us Cinergy had to cover up some wires near the site. Didn't mind making the site safer for them, but I was surprised to get charged. They left a little debris around too. But overall, they seemed punctual, helpful and competent.

Response from Classy Craftsmen
I'M GLAD THIS MEMBER SEEMS GENERALLY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE. I EXPLAINED OUR BILLING PRACTICES FOR THIS HOULY WORK PRIOR TO MAKING THIS SERVICE CALL. WHEN WE DO HOURLY WORK SITE UNSEEN, WE DO HAVE A MINIMUM CHARGE, WHICH APPLIES AS THE FIRST HOUR'S CHARGE. THIS HELPS COMPENSATE FOR FUEL AND TIME IN TRAVEL, AND IS $20 ABOVE OUR NORMAL HOURLY RATE. HAD WE COME ILL-PREPARED, OR THERE WAS SOME OTHER LIMITING FACTOR WITHIN OUR CONTROL, WE WOULD NOT HAVE CHARGED. IF WE LEFT SOME DEBRIS AROUND, I IMAGINE SOME PAINT CHIPS ETC., I DO APOLOGIZE AND WILL ADDRESS THAT ISSUE WITH THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY.

As has been noted before, after my initial contact it took a looooong time to hear back from Dave Beck. He apologized for the long delay and inquired if I was still interested in an estimate. I had him give me quotes on other work that I have not yet had done, as well as the work done above. He was very prompt on appointments and did the work specified at the estimate price.
Description of Work: Repaired two lazy susans in kitchen; replaced tub faucet; replaced kitchen faucet assembly; fixed leaking bathroom faucet; replaced rusting drain in sink.

Response from Classy Craftsmen
THIS IS A YOUNG MAN WHO BOUGHT A VERY OLD AND BLIGHTED HOME. HE HAD GRAND PLANS WITH WHAT I FELT WAS A MODEST BUDGET. THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL MORE REQUESTED OF ME THAN JUST REMOVING A WALL AND MOVING A DOOR... SEVERE TERMITE DAMAGE AND GENERALLY COMPROMISED STRUCTURE, INSTALLATION OF SUPPORT COLUMNS TO EXPAND A KITCHEN, COMPLETE KITCHEN REMODEL, INSTALLING WINDOWS, ETC., ETC. I WAS NOT IN A POSITION TO TAKE ON A PROJECT OF THAT MAGNITUDE AT THE TIME, AND CONVEYED THAT TO HIM. I GAVE A VERBAL ESTIMATE OF WHAT I FELT THEY SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR - NEVER A QUOTE, AS I HAD NO INTENTION OF OFFERING MY SERVICES. I'VE NEVER BEEN CALLED ARROGANT BEFORE; PERHAPS HE MISTOOK MY DELIVERY OF BAD NEWS AS ARROGANCE. MY INTENTION WAS TO CONVINCE HIM THAT HE MIGHT WANT TO SCALE DOWN HIS PLANS A BIT.

We worked mainly via email, which was nice. He came out and bid and sent the bid through email. However, due to time constraints, we went ahead and did the work we were most concerned about ourselves.

Dave was polite, easy to talk to, and dependable. He contacted me the day before the scheduled service to verify the appointment. His partner, Joe, who actually performed the work was equally congenial. Joe crawled through blown Fiberglas insulation in cramped quarters to complete the project. He handled this hot, dirty work with a positive attitude and efficiency. It was well worth the money.

CREW WAS CONSISTENTLY THERE ON A DAILY BASIS. THERE WERE ISSUES ALONG THE WAY THAT WE AND DAVE WORKED ON TO GET SOLUTIONS TO. THEY WERE VERY FLEXIBLE TO DESIGN CHANGES AND WORK SCHEDULES. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM FOR ANY REMODELING PROJECT.
Description of Work: WE HAD A MAJOR REMODELING PROJECT PERFORMED BY DAVE BECK AND HIS CREW. THE PROJECT WAS REMOVING AN OLD (CA. 1920)2ND FLOOR SUNROOM AND REPLACING IT WITH A BEDROOM. THE PROJECT LASTED ABOUT 11 WEEKS. IT ENTAILED A NEW ROOF, FRAMING, WIRING, DRYWALL, PAINTING, EXTERIOR WOOD SIDING, TRIMWORK AND DESIGN. WE ALSO HAD A KITCHEN CEILING REDONE WITH RECESSED LIGHTS.

DAVE BECK AND HIS ASSOCIATE ARRIVED ON TIME. DAVE TOOK MY SAMPLE OF SIDING TO HAVE PAINT MATCHED TO IT, WHILE HIS ASSOCIATE STARTED THE CLEANING. DAVE LEFT AFTER RETURNING WITH THE PAINT AND THE ASSOCIATE FINISHED THE JOB. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THEIR PROFESSIONALISM AND THE JOB WAS DONE PERFECTLY. I HAVE NO COMPARISON FOR PRICE.
