DALE GEISE HANDYMAN

The best that I can say about Mr. Geise is that he returned/placed phone calls diligently and was punctual. He generally kept the schedule he promised, though if he had to diverge he kept me informed. As for the work, I am quite disappointed. The level of craft is mediocre at best. After "completing" the installation of the window and filler panels large gaps remained, which would have allowed torrents of cold air to enter the house come winter. His suggestion was that I get some caulking. Not satisfied, I insisted on proper work. His solution only partially corrected this lousy workmanship. In the end I was left with having to complete the painting myself. Furthermore it was left to me to pick up some of the building materials from his house prior to construction because they wouldn't fit in his truck, as well as get other materials from a home improvement store! In the end, for all this poor craft and service I was charged way more than his original quote.

The quality of work was questionable, pipe joints were not soldiered well, pipes were crossed, & plumbing leaked initially until it was fixed. Also I personally found him to be rude & somewhat unprofessional.

THE FIRST TIME WE USED DALE HE WAS FINE. THIS TIME, HOWEVER, HE TOOK 4 DAYS TO COMPLETE WORK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN A FEW HOURS, AND SUDDENLY INFORMED US HE HAD ANOTHER JOB WHICH WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM OFF OUR JOB IN THE MIDDLE. HE WAS GONE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THEN HE COMPLAINED HE WAS ILL, AND MISSED ANOTHER FEW DAYS. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GET AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL WORK DONE BY HIM, BUT WE ENDED UP FIRING HIM AFTER THE FRAMING WAS COMPLETE, AND SINCE HE CHARGED US BY THE HOUR WE OVERPAID HORRENDOUSLY. WE ENDED UP HIRING ANOTHER COMPANY, WHO DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. THEY ENDED UP FINISHING ALL THE ADDITIONAL WORK WE HAD PLANNED FOR DALE IN JUST TWO DAYS.

TOOK THE JOB ON VERY SHORT NOTICE, AND WORKED VERY HARD. WOULD DEFINITELY USE AGAIN.

WHEN HE WAS DONE, I ASKED HIM FOR A RECEIPT. HE DID NOT HAVE RECEIPTS WITH HIM AND PRINTS THEM OUT ON HIS COMPUTER. AFTER 3 DAYS HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE RECEIPT. I WOULD NOT HIRE HIM AGAIN FOR A FUTURE JOB.
