The House Doctors

Description of Work: I have a2 story house but at no time during any of my discussions with house doctors was I told they don't wash 2 story homes. Fortunately I was home when man came andstarted washing my house. I asked him why he didn't start at the top and work down and he told me he couldn't reach the top. He also said they don't wash 2 story houses for that very reason. I think that should be stated up front by the contractor if not in their ads.

Description of Work: First of all the dusting was not done completely, the floors still had spots on them , they did not mop the kitchen , and they left without telling anyone and it was suppose to be 3hrs, for two and they left in about an hour and 15min.

Description of Work: These ladies are great. They were very careful to do what I needed done, and then they also found the time to do some extras. I would gladly have them back again. Communication was prompt and clear, too.

Description of Work: Despite their great reviews, company took 10 days to return my call about scheduling the work. I had left 3 messages saying we needed the work done within 2 weeks. They weren't able to do it by the time they finally called back. Having to apply for a refund is a hassle. Also, having to supply your own materials is a hassle. It's not likely I'll do this again.

Description of Work: I needed some odd jobs done around the house and decided to call the number listed in the Angie's List magazine. I left a message and got a call back from Bob in less than 5 minutes! He was very polite, answered all of my questions about what types of work they would be able to do and what materials I would need. I was very excited to get the work done by the House Doctors because I moved an older house, and I don't know a whole lot about the upkeep of a (my first) house...learning as I go. Unfortunately, because The House Doctors are so good, and because of my schedule, I'd have to wait until the summer before I could take advantage of their services. Maybe I'll try again, because I'm sure I'll need help in the future. :)

Description of Work: Trued-up and re-locked an outside door to the basement.

Description of Work: This was to mount a large-screeen TV on the wall. We allowed ourselves to be suckered into paying far more than the job was worth, and allowing the whole process to go on and on. Avoid this company!

Description of Work: I rcvd a timely response to my phone message. They came out and installed a new fluidmaster, and water supply line to our toilet. This is the 3rd time we used them. Professional, reliable and fair priced.

Description of Work: Very fast bathroom vent fan upgrade and shower caulking!

Description of Work: I had wood nailed in my closet to create a rack.

Description of Work: Cleanning the Gutters

Description of Work: They primed, prepped, caulked and painted all the exterior window frames and wooded areas of the house. The replaced, caulked and painted all 1x boards at the rear deck window.

Description of Work: They replaced four, 6" supports for my deck and all the top railings and removed all the wood lattice and replaced with the new plastic style. They also replaced one of the supports for the gazebo. They pressure washed the entire deck and gazebo area. They applied two coats of stain to the whole deck and gazebo. They also cleaned the gutters for the entire house.

Description of Work: I saw that the company had Sunday hours so I called because of stroem damage on Friday. NEVER HEARD FROM THEM

Description of Work: Mr Vecchio was supposed to repair a roof job that he did on my garage several years ago that was already coming off. I decided to give him a second try to correct his error. Mr. Vecchio never sent an invoice and claimed that he sent someone out to do the work, even though he never called me to let me know he was sending someone out or sent a written contract/estimate. After getting two more estimates I called Mr. Vecchio to decline his services as the other two contractors that came to look at the roof basically said it was originally a shoddy job and they never would have done it originally as it was done. After calling Mr. Vecchio he stated the work was finished, again even though he never called to confirm a date with me to do the work, and the rolled roof still remains unnattached and blowing in the wind. What I found when I went out and looked was that the only thing done was that a gutter was nailed back. The rolled roofing remained as it was blown off, which was confirmed by the other contractors who took a look at it, despite Mr Vecchio claiming the work was completed and sending me an invoice. I will pay the $20 fee to nail the gutter back, but nothing more and am taking pictures of the roof to prove that nothing was done to it. There appears to be a either a complete lack of communication between him and his sub contractors or he's just a crook. Either way I will never use his services again and caution those who do to get an estimate in writing and insist on knowing when any "work" is to be completed, if you're brave enough to try his services

Description of Work: I sent an email requesting a consultation for deck lighting mid-July. A technician called several days later, and we made an appointment for July 25. An hour and a half before the appointment time, the technician said that he needed to re-schedule because he had an emergency. He had to go to a home without electricity. He asked if he could re-schedule for July 27. I had no problem with re-scheduling. I appreciated the phone call, but I said I preferred to re-schedule for July 30. A second appointment was scheduled for July 30. He said that he would be sure to be there. On July 30, he did not show up or call.

Description of Work: Came out (on time) inspected roof & attic. Found several problems.Professional, knowledgeable. I will use him again

Description of Work: I had them finish a floor and install a door.

Description of Work: We have worked with the House Doctors for the past few years. While I don't frequently write reviews, the diversity and quality of their work compels me to write a few comments. Over the past 3-4 months, we actually had 2 major projects with him (amount spent reflects both these projects). The first was concern that our back screened in porch was sagging a bit, with the brick wall underneath it clearly falling apart in some areas. They had to remove that brick, get in under the porch, and replace some support studs. They then rebricked the wall (looks great), and we also had them fix some of the bricking in the adjacent patio. They also repainted the entire porch. The most recent job was repairing a bedroom ceiling that was cracking/falling apart in several places (did a textured ceiling which now looks excellent). They also repainted the bedroom, and then did significant outdoor work, including replacing/ repairing wood on front of garage doors, repairing some stucco, and repainting garage doors, and kitchen porch, kitchen door, and outside of screened in porch. Overall, they are great to work with. Mike seems to be taking over the business from his dad, and is easy and very responsive to work with. The guys who came out (Jim and Mark) were also very easy to work with, responsive, and kept the place clean after what was necessarily a messy job. Will definitely be using them again.

Description of Work: Our mailbox was damaged during the night and I called the next business day and they came out to replace it for us. I purchased my own mailbox and they managed to pull out the old wood stand and install a new one that was treated, cemented it into place, and were finished within about 45 minutes. They are terrific! House Doctors are my family handyman and they are fantastic. They are local and are very quick to respond, which is a big plus in their favor.

Description of Work: I had several violations from city which needed to be corrected including extensive work on my garage including replacing wood siding, securing the soffit and painting entire garage. Also chimney repair and painting wood storm windows. The front dormer soffit was replaced with a new wood one and vents. My contact person, Mike, was easy to talk with, clearly wrote up in contract form what I was asking for and gave me a copy. He was professional, responsible; the work started on the datewe agreed to and was finished in a timely manner. Mike was receptive to fixing a minordetail I questioned. Good job done. The experience was satisfying and I would definitely use The House Doctors again and refer others to them. Jean Serkownek

Description of Work: Came over looked at the job said he would call saturday or sunday with an estimate that was 2 weeks ago

Description of Work: . The unit is 22 years old. The siding was rotting an the shingles were in worse shape. Peter and his crew sided and roofed the 10ft by 10 ft storade unit. I am very satisfied with the craftsmanship and the explanation of the work that was to be done through completion. I will use them in the future.

Description of Work: Gave a quote that was outrageous. To repair the roof, I could have spent as much as he quoted for a new one. Also wanted to do grout work in kitchen for 650- it didnt cost me that much to originally put the floor in. Hey at least he was going to fix the gate for free-how nice.

Description of Work: Can't remember the cost. total house cleaning; I had just had surgery and prior to the surgery had been unable to do much cleaning due to my illness/pain. My house needed a good cleaning. The girls were excellent cleaners. Hard workers. Left my house sparkling. Used them twice. Would use them again if the need arose.
