The House Doctors

Good he did a great job and provided pointers

Jim came here for three days. In 90-degree heat, he worked diligently at scraping and painting the garage. When a sudden rainstorm came, Jim just waited it out by sitting in his truck. We asked him to come inside the house for ice tea during the rain, but he preferred to wait in the truck. He was very neat, polite, and pleasant.

I called for a deck repair estimate. I received a call from Bob who said Mike would call and set up a time to provide estimate. Several days later than stated, Mike called back. We made an appointment for the estimate. He was on time and professional. He called back with the numbers and description of work 5-7 days later. When I called and said I wanted to schedule, he said he would email a contract. Didn't hear from them for weeks. Never received contract, just another phone call asking if we received the estimate. By this time I had contacted someone else and sent in their contract.

Getting to the first visit took some time so I gave them an average grade for responsiveness. Once the repairman arrived, everything went very well. He did a very good job and cleaned up well. He did the ceiling touch up, too.

It went amazing they not only did everything we asked, they also took initiative and cleaned or suggested ideas not even thought of. They really go above and beyond and take their jobs ver seriously. I will call them in the future again and again!

Called twice (approx. one wek between calls). Never did hear back from anyone.

I don't remember the details or when these people were here - a couple of years ago. They came and looked around for our water source. We are on a well and have limited water pressure. they should have asked about our source of water before they came- We would have never ordered the service, knowing they would have to use our water. i thought they brought their own water in a water truck. The job done was most unsatisfactory - I just wanted them to leave before they used up our water. Terrible idea to hire this company.

We have found services elsewhere.

Three teen girls arrived who looked as though they had been told at gunpoint that they had to clean this house. I had talked to a mature sounding woman and thought she would be coming. They sped through the two story house in two hours and then told me I owed them for 3 hours because they thought 9 am to 11am was three hours: 9, 10, and 11! I paid them for the 2 hours from 9-11 am. Someone had set a bathroom cleaner bottle that contained bleach, sitting on the hardwood floor in the hall that left bleach marks on the wood. Someone who worked upstairs picked up a throwrug without cleaning it and dumped it on a built in bookcase and left it there, dirt and all. They barely cleaned inside the kitchen cupboards. I had left them there to run a few errands and when I came back, the whole house smelled like they had spilled a gallon of air freshener throughout the first floor. There were one or two ants on the floor due to heavy rains that year, so they told me the house was infested. That's a lot of money to pay for some excessive air freshener and 3 surly teens.

GREAT! When I explained to the owner that the front door issue had a safety factor, he happily expedited my service call. The gentleman that came out was extremely competent and very nice...he handled all my jobs quickly, and was professional throughout. He cleaned up after himself, and did not go overtime (as this was 2 big deal coupons). The front door issue was particularly tricky, and he made it work. Will use again! THANKS!

The House Doctors - Bob Vecchio - followed up on our calls and rescheduled the pressure wash. He sent two of the nicest young people who spent the time and took the care to do a great job on the house and garage. And this was on one of the hottest days when the temperature in the afternoon was in the 90's and probably felt like over 100. In fact, I would have understood if House Doctors had called to reschedule on a cooler day, just to look out for the safety of their people. At any rate, they did a super job. My husband was especially excited by the job they did pressure washing the back of the garage where some green algae had been creeping up the back wall. It looks like new again. We are very appreciative!

Did a very good job power washing front walk and stone path around garden area. Courteous and professional. Did not call before coming over to do the job, luckily I was home.

They were fine. They were very helpful.

Everything was fantastic! Quick reponse from the first phone call - they promptly returned my phone call and scheduled an appointment time within a week. Robert arrived on time and promptly knocked out my entire to do list in record time. Before finding the The House Doctors on Angie's List, I had a hard time trying to find anyone to simply return a phone call. The House Doctors are now in my speed dial and will be my first call for upcoming house projects. I have already shared their information with my friends!

I purchased a 2hr. certificate for Handyman work from the House Doctors on April 27, 2013. Called to schedule an appointment the week of June 10th. Reached the House Doctor and was given an appointment for June 17, 2013. On 6/17 I received a call from Bob Vecchio stating that his handyman was on his way but en route the truck broke down and he would have to call a tow truck for service. He stated he would call me that evening (6/17) to re-schedule. However, he never called. I called back again 6/18, 6/20, and 6/24 with no luck of a reply! As of this day (7/8) I have not received a call back to re-schedule an appointment or been offered a refund of $89.00 for the purchase of the service certificate!

I needed to have the wood trim around my sliding glass door replaced and also there was a section of the facia board that needed to be replaced as well. They came out and did the work, things seemed to be fine. The wood, where it is connected, is coming apart and water pours into my home when it rains. I contacted the company to come out and fix the issue and left a voicemail. I never heard back from them so I called the second number that they have listed and again got no response, I have left messages on both numbers now. I am needing to have the issue fixed before I can have the exterior of my house painted. The wood trim around the door still needs to be stained and painted before the exterior painting can be done.

Repairs were excellent. Good craftsmanship.

I have tried twice to reach them and each time have gotten their answering service, but they've never returned my calls or messages. I won't be doing so anymore, I'm getting a refund.

They did a great job! The house that they worked on is around 100 years old with a lot of wear and tear throughout. Because of the age of the home, each time the crew would try to accomplish something, they would find further problems below the surface. They handled each situation with skill. They are very courteous and professional. The price was very reasonable considering the amount of work and age of the home. Lastly, I would like to comment on their ability to get the job done within the time frame stated. We would definitely use them again.

The repair was fine but I was not really happy with the pressure washing. They showed up, and they were fine. The fellow finished it in two hours and my complaint is that I could have done the same with my host. He basically just host down my deck.

i knew if I hired Bob he would come to water the flowers and garden while I was away. Of course he did. He did not charge me for a weekend when it rained. I chose Bob because he is reliable. I can count on him.

Went well. The couple that came out were very friendly and professional.

I had lost faith in all handymen, until Bob came to the rescue!! I have been readying my house to sell. This meant doing a number of home improvements, most of which were simple enough to tackle myself. However, when it came to replacing some cracked grout in my ceramic kitchen floor, I wanted someone with more expertise (and a greater ability to spend all that time crawling around on the floor!!) I called a number of different handymen services. Some of them didn't bother to return my calls. A couple actually came out to see the job and provided quotes, but then wouldn't return calls to schedule the job. When I called Bob and explained the situation to him, he jumped to action. He was very understanding of my time frames and promised that he would not abandon me like the previous companies I had called. Bob stayed in contact with me, calling me multiple times while he was working to schedule someone to come to my home. Within two days we had an appointment scheduled for the following Sunday. He called again on Saturday morning to confirm the appointment. Later on Saturday, I received a call from the actual handyman that was coming to repair my grout, Robert. Robert asked if it would be possible to stop by that evening to look at the job so he could make sure he had everything he would need the following morning. I agreed. Once he arrived and assessed the job, he provided a quote on the spot. We started to talk about the schedule for the following morning. When I mentioned that I had a family get-together to celebrate the return of my nephew, he offered to do the job that evening so I would be free for this important family event. He left to get his tools and 30 minutes later started working on the grout. He removed all the damaged pieces and regrouted the floor. Two hours later, the floor was done, cleaned up (as clean as you can make a freshly grouted floor) and I couldn't have been happier. The job was done less than a week from initially calling Bob, and for a price that was better than the two quotes I had received. My faith is restored!!

They called me to schedule a date/time and asked in what order I would like things powerwashed so that they made sure to get what I wanted done in the amount of time the Big Deal allowed for. The employee arrived on time and checked in with me at intervals to again make sure he did what I wanted in the allotted timeframe. Even more was done than I expected, and he did a good job. I am very pleased with the service received for the price paid.

It was delayed a couple days but he called me and explained which I appreciated. The work was done in a timely manner and the work was very well done.
