HOME REMEDIES

Very well. Scott came over to our house and provided a very reasonable estimate which was 75% lower than a previous estimate we had received from another company. Scott was available to perform the work as soon as we needed it done. Once the work began, it was necessary for Scott to perform the drywall, sanding, spackling and painting over a three day period. On all three visits to our home, Scott was extremely punctual, professional and a pleasure to have around. In additional, he worked very efficiently and we were quite satisfied with the end result. This was one of the better experiences we have had over the years with professionalism, reliability and quality of work. We will definitely use this company again on future occasions.

Was very pleased with the work and the neatness of accomplishing the job. Work was completed in timely fashion. The price was fair.

We are very pleased with our partial bathroom remodel. Scott was at our home every day redoing our tub/shower, plumbing, fixtures, painting and whatever else needed done. He was a pleasure to work with, and I had no concerns leaving him alone or with just our nanny and toddler in the home. The bathroom looks great. They do quality work and at a reasonable price and just seem like very nice, hard working, and honest people. Highly recommend!!

This isn't the first time I worked with Doug and Scott. Doug did this job on his own. I trust him completely to do the job to the best of his ability, and to do it quickly. As before, I couldn't be more pleased with the work that he did.

Excellent! On-time. Easy communication.

Scott and Doug were very responsive, friendly and professional. The quality of the work was excellent! Scott cleaned up (which is very important to me!) as he went along. He was quiet when we were in the house (no blaring music-also important) and considerate. Will definitely hire again! Highly recommend!

Doug and Scott we fantastic to work with and very professional during their time in my house. The complete project took about 3 weeks and they showed up everyday at the time they said they would. Scott really helped us come up with some solutions to some issues that came up as the work was being completed. The attention to detail was great and made sure that the job was done right. After completion of the project, I gave Scott a call the next day because of one more item that I wanted addressed and he responded the same day and showed up his next available time to complete even though it was not in the original plan. I would highly recommend Home Remedies for home projects and will be sure to call them for my next one.

Scott and Doug did great work. They were always very punctual and accommodating when we changed the scope of the work (like adding the exposure of a brick wall). We felt that they gave us a practical timeline for the project completion and stuck to that timeline. We had an issue with the sink after the work was completed and Scott was over the next day to get it fixed. We trusted them to be in the house when we were at work and they were very kind to our dogs. We were very happy with their work product and would definitely use them in the future.

Doug and Scott were great! They completed our project quickly and to our satisfaction, for an affordable price. They showed up early every day and worked steadily to minimize the disruption to our routines. They were attentive to detail and maintained good communication. They also were flexible as our project evolved. Doug and Scott are also entertaining people to have around the house, are good spirited, and work extremely well together as a team. We're so happy to have worked with them and look forward to doing so again. Thanks!

Everything went very well. Doug and Scott were a pleasure to work with. They always made sure I was completely satisfied with their work and allowed me a voice in how certain things would be completed.

Things went very well. Doug and Scott were very receptive to my needs and were willing to rework a few things to meet my satisfaction. They were always on time and respectful to my property. The work took about 2 weeks (on and off) to complete. I would certainly hire them again and recommend to my friends/family.

We are happy with the work that Doug and Scott from Home Remedies did on our home. They are prompt, pleasant, professional and dependable. They show up consistently at the time when they say they will be there, and are some of the hardest working people I have seen. Even our neighbor (who sometimes observed them them from his porch) commented to us on their dependability and work ethic! I felt comfortable having them in my home. Having them around actually was a pleasure, and they were very kind to my family, including our little daughter. They did good work, and in the instances where I wasn't completely satisfied with something, they were responsive and made it right without complaint. Scott did the majority of our project, with Doug pitching in as needed (and to do the painting). They make a good, balanced team because Doug's strength is keeping things on schedule, and Scott's is attention to detail. I felt that they were looking out for the best interests of our project and our pocketbook. I thought we were going to need to have some expensive new custom kitchen cabinets made to match existing, historic ones that we were keeping. (Home Remedies does not make custom cabinets or custom doors, although they did make wood trim that matched the original trim in our old house.) However, Scott suggested that I buy ready-made, stock cabinets onto which he could install custom doors that match the old ones. He gave me the name of someone who makes custom cabinet doors at a very reasonable price. We followed through on his cabinet suggestions, which resulted in a beautiful end product and saved us over $5,000! As for the scope of the work done, a lot of the work was somewhat cosmetic because we did not change the footprint of the rooms or the location of windows, doors, sink, stove, etc. In the family room, everything else was gutted down to the studs. The main work there was installation of new windows, new doors, new drywall on the ceiling and walls, new trim and moldings, updated outlets, baseboard heaters, a new floor, and building a wall and frame to accommodate a new pocket door. In the kitchen, they installed a new hardwood floor, a portion of new cabinets that they detailed to match the existing ones that we were keeping, new outlets, constructed new shelving in existing cabinets, new lighting, a slide-out trashcan under the sink, a new sink and faucet, a new tile backsplash (Scott's tile work is perfection), all new cabinet hardware, a stove hood/fan, and changed the swing direction of our new refrigerator and modified a cabinet above to accommodate it. (We had a granite fabricator do our new countertops because the wholesaler of the granite that we chose would only work with certain large fabricators that specialize only in installing countertops.) Unlike large design/build firms, Scott and Doug ask the homeowner to independently research and choose most of the renovation materials, so I did all the leg work of researching and ordering most of the materials (eg. flooring, doors, light fixtures, faucet, sink, tile, etc.) with some advice from them here and there. This was time consuming for me, but saved us quite a bit of money in the long run compared to estimates we received from the larger design/build firms who walk you through this process and do the ordering for you. *Please note that the $18, 500 price listed below is mainly for labor, although it did include certain materials such as dry wall, wood trim, insulation, electrical supplies, and electric baseboard heaters.

The service and quality was great. Doug went above and beyond and made other small repairs needed while he was on the job. Very trustworthy and friendly!

It was wonderful. They were on time and gave great advice during the project. They did very good work. The important thing was that when they said they would be there, they were there. They are very trustworthy.

Brilliant! The guys were very responsive. Super nice to my dog when I left him there to go to work. the cleaned up the work space very well (and it's dry wall, so it's super dusty).

We are out of state owners and Home Remedies was responsive and punctual. They completed the work on schedule and got the house ready for us to put on the market. Also, their price was right and in line with their estimate. It's tough contracting home repairs on a house that you live 3000 miles away from and it was great to find someone that we could trust. If we still lived in the Columbus area, we would definitely call them again.

He helped me out with a code violation and came out promptly. He gave me two choices and took care of the problem right away. He is extremely professional and I would highly recommend him. This is the 3rd or 4th time I have used him and will continue to use him.

Everything went wonderfully. They came out and assessed the walls and ceiling in each room. They worked with our timeline (baby on the way) even with it being very tight, not to mention baby arrived three weeks early! All the repairs looked great and when we pointed out a few spots we would like retouched they came back out within just a couple days and had those done quickly. They also cleaned up perfectly. I've had contractors here before that left it a disaster, but these guys made sure everything was put back in order. i would use them again and would highly recommend their services.

Doug did a great job. He was very professional.

Doug was great to work with, responsive and more than willing to touch up spots and work with us as we added a couple additional items to our maintenance list. Overall, a pleasure to work with.

After a frustrating search for a contractor or handyman to build a small soffit in our walk-up attic, I got in touch with Doug at Home Remedies. He understood what I had in mind and arranged for Scott to come over and quote the job for me. Both Doug and Scott were very easy to work with, and their quote was very agreeable to us. Doug and Scott were upfront with us about their full schedule at that time, which meant our job would not be started for about a month, which I appreciated. Since we weren't in a hurry, that was fine. Sure enough, about 3 or 4 weeks later, I got a message from Scott letting me know that they were ready for us! In the meantime, I had found out that we needed to change the original dimensions of the soffit to make it slightly larger, but Scott was easy-going and said it would be no problem. Scott arrived on time on the appointed day to start the work, and came back a further 3 times to finish the job. (This was planned and necessary, due to the nature of drywall and our need to have the HVAC unit installed before Scott finished the bottom wall.) After his second return trip, we had the HVAC unit installed; once that was complete, Scott came back to put the bottom on the soffit to enclose the space. I opted to have him use plywood for that so that, if it became necessary, we could get that piece off to access lines for the unit from underneath. Between the slight change in dimensions and cost of the extra plywood, the final price was $55 higher than the original quote, but we are very happy with the work. We are glad to have found Home Remedies, and will keep them in mind for any future handyman jobs we may need help with--both Doug and Scott were great to work with and helped us achieve exactly what we needed!

I contacted them to provide an estimate. Doug did a no call, no show. The next day he called to apologize and reschedule. The 2nd time he came out, he couldn't give me an estimate. He had to schedule a time for his other employee to come out and take a look (since he didn't know much about plumbing). After the other guy came out, I was expecting to receive an estimate, but Doug didn't contact me to give me an estimate. This was a complete waste of my time and theirs. Quite unprofessional. Since then, I've called several other plumbers and it seems to be a common theme. One guy came out, but never gave an estimate. Another company quoted $8k. Another quoted $3k. I finally found a professional company that was extremely prompt, professional and reasonable. I'll post a separate review of them when they complete the service.

job is underway. will update review once job is complete

Doug accommodated my busy schedule, and was able to redo the caulk in all of my bathrooms and touch up a spot in my kitchen. As always, Doug was great.

The job they performed was flawless. They were able to match the 10 year old paint in the rest of the room exactly. You would never know we even had sky lights. They communicated well about what they were going to do and when they could do it, always working within our schedule. I have had them come out again to do some miscellaneous repairs and put up knobs on all of my kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Scott and Doug are very personable and professional and trustworthy. I really appreciate their talents as I am not handy at all.
