Description of Work: Hired Scott to install drywall on the ceiling and walls in my kitchen/family rooms. The project started a week after originally stated, but Scott did very good work and the delay did not cause too much stress on the rest of the renovation.

Called to get estimate on fence, Doug called back immediately and came out two days later to give estimate for fence. Compared to the other estimates his price was fair and he was able to start immediately due to an opening in his schedule. In conversation I also mentioned other projects I was looking to get done and he gave me fair estimates on all. Doug and Scott were here when they told us they would be and always cleaned up after themselves. They were very conscientious and worked well together and with us. We enjoyed having them in our home and will hire them again for future remodeling projects.
Description of Work: Built dog eared privacy fence and removed old chain link fence. Hung shutters. Also removed stump of old tree.

Doug did a fabulous job, at a very reasonable price compared to the estimates we received from landscaping companies. He's very responsive and thorough, and he even fixed our fence gate for us at no extra charge. We would highly recommend him.

Doug and Scotty did a great job for us. They were prompt, worked straight through until the job was done, and paid great attention to detail. Even more impressive was Doug's willingness and promptness in returning to do some touch-ups after the job was finished. We couldn't be more pleased with their work and would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: I had two walls of paneling removed and replaced with drywall, crown molding was put up in the living room and kitchen, and the living room, kitchen, and hallway were repainted.

The house is a charming ranch style, shingled in cedar shakes, making the job of painting it more challenging. Special materials and tools are needed for this type of painting job. I was impressed when Mr. Schiffer took the time to explain this to us while discussing his previous experience with this type of work. He took the time to listen to our concerns & answer all our questions before giving us a written bid that included time and costs. He worked with our schedule to do exterior work when we were unavailable and the interior work when we were. He inspected, repaired loose or broken shingles, prepared the surface, applied the necessary undercoat for cedar shingles & applied two coats of oil based exterior satin finish paint. We were impressed at Mr. Schiffer's neat careful work throughout the project. He cleaned up drips, did touchups where needed, & applied smooth even coats. This paint work will last us 20 years, so as far as we are concerned he exceeded our expectations!
Description of Work: Sprucing up for winter we decided to paint the exterior of our house. We had just had an excellent experience with an extensive interior bathroom remodel completed by Home Remedies, a contractor on Angie's List, and we were so satisfied with the work that we asked the contractor to bid on the exterior painting job. The house is covered in cedar shakes making painting it problematic.

Our family takes turns hosting the holiday get togethers, & it's our turn. Much as I love my family, I was deeply chagrined about the state of my guest bath. Given the age & wear of this full bath, it was long overdue for a makeover. Frankly, I was afraid of what it might cost to do the project right the first time, & speaking of time, was there enough time for such an extensive remodel by the holidays? So I checked Angie's & found HOME REMEDIES. The owner/general contractor, Doug Schiffer, responded to our call for a bid the very next day. He set up an appointment to meet us at OUR CONVENIENCE to discuss the job. Mr. Schiffer was professional, positive, courteous, and ON TIME! He took the time to listen to us carefully, discuss options for the remodel, and returned the best bid within 1 week! The job is finished, on budget, on time, & it's beautiful. Doug's craftsmanship & attention to detail exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend Doug Schiffer highly enough.
Description of Work: This was a major remodel of a 50 year old vintage bathroom, including all new glazed ceramic tile for the floor and bath, new lighting fixtures, vanity, sink, and a high end low-flow toilet with painting for the walls and built-ins. We wanted this full bath restored to original condition in a palette of sky blue & lemon chiffon. And we needed it in a hurry! Just because we needed it fast, we wanted it done right the first time and at a fair price. Sounded like a lot to ask for, so we turned to Angie's List for help and found the solution for our problem. We found the right contractor for our job! That's where we found HOME REMEDIES by Doug Schiffer. Hooray for HOME REMEDIES!!! We were so satisfied with his work on the bath, we gave him the job painting the exterior of our house.

I've used Doug since moving to Columbus three years ago. He has been fairly priced and prompt in all I have asked him to do. No job is too small (removing a dead bird) or too much to ask (fixing a broken toilet on a Sunday evening. I have found Doug very trustworthy and feel lucky to have him both as a help and a friend.

Doug, the owner/contractor of Home Remedies was very prompt in replying to my call for a bid on a small but important job this past summer. I decided to have a secure privacy fence installed after my neighbors experienced a break-in. Even though this was a small job for Home Remedies, Doug was very prompt in returning my call and very sensitive to my security concerns. He arrived the very next day to measure the space and provided me with a written estimate on the spot. He scheduled the job within the week, and by the weekend had completed the work and removed the construction waste. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the work. Doug also installed fine outdoor security locks on the gates. I have already recommended Doug to several of my friends and neighbors and have spotted him working around my neighborhood on several occasions since.

This person was recommended to me by a neighbor. Mr. Schifer came to assess the work to be done in mid-June. Written estimate dropped off 60 days later with a very high quote. I called Mr. Schifer to tell him that I already hired someone else because I didn't receive the written estimate in a reasonable time, and that his quoted figure was too high. He became rude, told me I had wasted his time, and hung up on me. I would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: Did an estimate for hot water tank installation, painting, and odd jobs.

Response from HOME REMEDIES
THE PERSON GIVING THIS REPORT NEGLECTED TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS NEIGHBORS AND HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. SHE ASKED ME PERSONALLY AND I WAS NOT REFERRED BY A NEIGHBOR. I WAS ASKED BY MY FRIEND TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE FOR PAINTING THE FLOOR OF A WAREHOUSE, BUILDING CABINETS, TO ROUGH IN PLUMBING, TO INSTALL A WATER HEATER, AND A SINK. AT THIS TIME I GAVE HER A VERBAL ESTIMATE AND SHE CHECKED WITH HER SUPERIORS FOR APPROVAL AND IT WAS STATED THAT MY PRICE WAS WITHIN THE ALLOTTED BUDGET. SHE APPROVED THE VERBAL ESTIMATE AND SAID TO START THE WORK AND I WAS GIVEN A KEY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BUILDING. THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE WAS GIVEN WITHIN 48 HOURS OF HER REQUEST. THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE DID NOT VARY FROM THE VERBAL ESTIMATE. WHEN THIS WORK WAS REQUESTED, I STATED THAT MY WORK SCHEDULE WAS ALREADY BOOKED SOLID FOR A MONTH, AND IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO GET TO THE JOB ANY SOONER. I THINK IT IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL OF ANYONE TO CARRY A PERSONAL DISAGREEMENT ONTO A PUBLIC FORUM WITH A REPUTATION AS STELLAR AS ANGIE’S LIST. MY COMPANY PLEDGE IS TO DO QUALITY WORK AT A REASONABLE PRICE AND BE THERE WHEN PROMISED.
