We hired them to do the work in the winter, so it took a while for them to get started as all of the jobs, especially the painting, required dry weather. We were generally pleased with their work.
Description of Work: They corrected all of our Shaker Heights violations, including scraping and painting one side of our house and the floor of our screened in porch and installing the required Shaker Heights railing.

Placed call on a Friday morning, and was able to have the repair service performed that evening (even though I wasn't expecting service that quickly)! From the initial phone call, to the completion of the work, I was very pleased with this service provider. I wouldn't hesitate to use The House Doctors again, and will recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Repaired hinge for door which wouldn't close.

It went very well as usual. I've used this company before and they are very responsive. Bob called me back promptly after my initial call and said Rod would call to set up an appointment to come out. Rod came out to the house as promised and did the repair work.
Description of Work: Rod repaired a fixture in my front hall and cleaned the vent from my clothes dryer.

Everything went extremely well. Terrific service. The 10 year old garbage disposal that we had in the house ruptured, and sent water all over the inside of the cabinet and floor. I looked on Angie's List, selected The House Doctors, gave them a call, and they did the replacement on the day after I called, the serviceman arrived exactly on time, did the job in less than an hour. They put in a very comparable garbage disposal (same brand as the old one, high quality), and its performance is perfect. The installer was neat, clean, dressed in a neat uniform, and did the work quickly and cleaned everything up after the installation.
Description of Work: Remove old broken garbage disposal unit, provide and install new garbage disposal unit. Removed old equipment and cleaned up.

siding
  + -1 more
The awning was over a second floor porch. High winds during a storm ripped the awning off the house and dropped it onto the porch. The company replaced siding that had also ripped off and then jacked up the awning (it's probably 10 ft. by 10 ft.) and anchored it more securely to the house.
Description of Work: Reinstalled a large awning that became disconnected from the house during high winds; also replaced siding that had ripped off when the awning became disattached.

Two representatives arrived on a Saturday afternoon to look at the job. When I informed them that I would be taking a business trip to Chicago the following week Bob Vecchio called me the next day on a Sunday with the estimate. We discussed my preferences which included replacing the deck boards and removing the bench. This call was followed up by a written estimate of everything we discussed and the agreed price. When I returned home the floor boards of the deck had already been replaced. I was also traveling 3 days the following week and when I returned home from the second trip the lattice repairs were completed. My interactions with the company although limited as a result of my travel schedule were very professional and friendly in tone. I appreciated that the work was done without interfering with my work related travel schedule. The area was left neat and clean when the work was completed.
Description of Work: Tri-level deck built around 2 large maple trees required repairs when one of the trees became too large and had to be cut down leaving a large hole in the deck. A bench previously placed under the tree also was removed. Rather than patching the hole entire boards were replaced with new pressure treated lumber and the solid structure of the deck maintained. In addition sections of the lattice skirt around the deck were also repaired.

Response from The House Doctors
I REMEMBER TALKING TO THIS CUSTOMER. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE HOUSE DOCTORS NEVER CHARGE BY THE HOUR BUT BY THE JOB. I ASKED HER IF I COULD COME OVER AND GIVE HER A PRICE FOR THE WHOLE JOB. EITHER SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND OR REFUSED MY OFFER. I DON'T KNOW OTHER THAN SHE HAD A LIST OF SMALL REPAIRS TO DO WHICH WE WOULD HAVE PRICED AS A PACKAGE. WHY SHE REFUSED OUR OFFER IS A BAFFLING MYSTERY TO ME.

I was somewhat disappointed that they had come to the house without a disposal even though I had given Bob the owner the information from my current model. The serviceman were polite but had arrived quite a bit later than I had anticipated. They were able to reset it immediately but when it restarted, the vibration apparently caused a stress crack on the fitting, and it began to leak. So, they did end up having to replace the disposal. They did not have a disposal, and had to go purchase one. Once they came back the intallation went quickly.
Description of Work: My disposal was jammed. They were able to clear it, but it ended up needing replacement due to a crack in the fitting that in turn, began to leak.

The estimate was done in a timely manner by two professional employees and the owner called back in a timely manner to provide the estimate. The price was comparable to others from whom we requested quotes. When I asked for an estimate in writing, the owner refused stating that they were busy and his oral estimate was firm. We declined his offer because we do not do business without a written agreement.
Description of Work: We requested an estimate for several things to be improved and fixed at our house.

Our kitchen was drab, dark, and dated; but now, thanks to the House Doctors, it's bright, cheerful, and efficient. The water-damaged ceiling, stubborn wallpaper border, and dirty laminate counters were taken down. Recessed, track, and under-counter lighting, solid-surface counters, floor, and backsplash went in. Much prep work ensued before many coats of paint could go on ceiling, walls, and trim. They even got our doorbells working again! The House Doctors' attention to detail, and the floor and tile installers' perfectionism assured us of a superb result. Any concerns were dealt with quickly and professionally to our total satisfaction. Thanks Bob, Mike, and the entire team! We love our new kitchen!
Description of Work: Tore down ceiling, furnished, installed, taped, mudded (3 coats), sanded, primed, and painted new ceiling (3 coats of paint). Tore out old counters; did major electrical work including installing cans in the new ceiling, installed 4-foot track and under-counter lights. Took out electrical sub-panel and relocated into basement panel, moved ceiling fan box, and got all doorbells operating. Removed wallpaper border, prepped and painted walls (3 coats) and woodwork (2 coats). Installed customer-furnished floor tiles (on diagonal) and backsplash tiles. Caulked all areas as needed. Connected plumbing to dishwasher and new sink with new sink strainers. Furnished and installed door sweep for back door and 2 floor transitions. Cut down closet door. Painted inside kitchen cupboards.

We had a list of violations to correct in our house. Searched Angie's List and called The House Doctors, among others. We live out of town at the moment, and are renting the home that used to be our primary residence. Mike Vecchio called me back immediately, I emailed him our list of violations, and he gave a prompt and clear estimate for the work that needed to be done. He even sent a paper estimate via mail for our records, and assured us we wouldn't spend a penny more. They did the work quickly and within the time frame we discussed, when our tenants would be out of town and would not need to use the garage or driveway. Mike was easy to reach when I had questions and always very friendly and professional. Mike did more work on the steps than we had discussed, without changing the price. We have not seen the work done yet, but feel confident from our communications that Mike and Bob have high standards and a professional team.
Description of Work: We called The House Doctors to do the following: 1. Strip and paint our detached garage. 2. Tuckpoint the house. 3. Repair the front steps of the house, the brick was crumbling and foundation sinking. 4. Fill cracks and seal coat the driveway. We received several estimates and felt The House Doctors had the best reputation and price for our job.

Very well! They did all the work while I was away. They cleaned very nicely. They even did a side of the house I had wanted to do originally but decided to wait on to save money; they just included that as a good gesture because they were there. I had been unclear about how I wanted the side doorstep cemented, and when I called Bob after his workers had left, without hesitation he sent someone back to do just what I had asked. So I am very happy with the work!
Description of Work: I needed to rodent-proof the foundation of the house. The mortar in the foundation bricks was getting old and needed patching. They came out and dug along the foundation, patching with cement and wire mesh, to a foot and a half below the surface. One of the harder parts was under the front porch, which stretches across the front of the house. They also cemented under the side door step, bit to seal it and support the step.

We told the company the size of the snake we used initially to fix the problem. When the plumber arrived he bought the same size snake we used. Therefore, he had to come back the following evening with a bigger snake. We were a bit unhappy at what seemed to be a lack of communication between the plumber and the company. In spite of this, we were very pleased with the plumber. He arrived when he said he would and he stayed until the job was done. He did an excellent job.

They never really set up a time to come out. They just showed up one day and started working. It took them 6 months to complete. They accused the weather and scheduling conflicts. The would come in one day, do a few windows, leave, and then not return for months. I argued with him about the price since it was higher than what he had quoted. The finally billed I received was not detailed and didn't mention anything about how long there where or the work they did. I would not recommend them to anyone.
