As of 12/3/2014 there has been no additional moisture noticed on the drywall in the bedroom. It is safe to say the leak has been successfully repaired. The drywall cutout and repair ended up being about 18" x 18". I would estimate the craftsman spent 4 hrs. of total onsite time for this project. If you do the math the cost of this project was over $200 per hr. The materials used where common items such as caulking, drywall compound, drywall tape and sandpaper. Their handheld credit card reader did not work so it took more time than expected for payment.
Description of Work: Job #1) Leak Repair and Replace Water Stained Drywall in Bedroom: - Setup/Cleanup/Materials Pickup Med. Job This is to get the Craftsman to the work site, get any required materials, clean up after the job is completed, and remove all trash from the work site. We cannot guarantee a leak repair. They are very difficult to find and it may take several tries to find the leak. Further repairs will be at additional cost. - Dry Wall Repair - 4ft x 4ft or Less Remove drywall in the second story bedroom in the corner that is water stained. We will remove the drywall and investigate a leak into the wall. The drywall hole will be repaired and that area prepared for painting. We will have to make several trips if the drywall mud does not set quickly. Painting to be done by others, - Wall Insulation - Fiberglass (2 Ft) The wall insulation in the corner is most likely wet and will need to be replaced. - Investigate Roof/Flashing for Leaking The roof over the bedroom in the corner will be checked for potential leaking. Once we determine the cause of the leaking, we will generate a Proposal for any repairs. These repairs will cost additional.

We are pleased that the leak has been fixed. Leaks can be difficult to find. The outcome was good and the job was completed successfully the first time. We price our work by the job, not by the hour. You need to re-think your 4 hours site time on the job. There is more to the job than what is spent on the job site. The Craftsmen made two trips, he had to get materials, and we spend time preparing for a job so it goes smoothly and efficiently. This is time that you don’t always see. Our Craftsmen are skilled and properly equipped to do this kind of work. Because of this, it looks like it doesn’t take that much time to do the work.

After having several companies look over the work and bid, we selected Home Solutions Handyman since their bid was very competitive and their rating on Angie?s list was excellent. I worked with Dan during the bidding process and we were back and forth a few times as things got tweaked in. He was always very professional and quick to respond. On the designated day, three men showed up on time (one actually early). They behaved professionally, used very good quality materials, and completed the job in one day, as promised. The quality of the work overall was very satisfactory. The only negative I saw was a single board in the not-very-visible end of the deck that was noticeably shorter than the adjacent ones (1/2? or so), which I didn?t consider a big deal. I suspect that if I had made a big deal out of it Dan would have replaced that board. If I have more work like this, I would use Home Solutions Handyman again.
Description of Work: The decking/surface of our deck was in pretty bad shape so we decided to have just that portion of it replaced (i.e. the underlying structure would be left as is).

Dan came out one day and then sent a specialist back a week later to do the work.. They fixed a problem that many others had just caulked around - which didn't solve the issue. I'm highly pleased with them. They're extremely professional and he puts everything in writing. He calls ahead and when he's on his way too.
Description of Work: I had a water leak around 2 windows. They took the siding off and found where the windows weren't installed correctly.

Paul the handyman showed up on time as expected, sized up the job, and went to Home Depot to pick up some materials. In a short time, he was back to take down the cabinet, repair it, and reattach it to the wall. The job took about 3 hours in total, and was done better than I expected. Paul was courteous and professional, and it was clear he had significant experience working with cabintets as well. This is the first time I have used Home Solutions Handyman, but I will use them again. Their high rating on Angie's List is well deserved.

Thank you for your excellent report. We're glad the cabinet problem was solved. The problem was that the cabinet was not mounted to the wall in the back.
Very well! My main issue was the drip edge where the siding on my house meets the brick. Part of the wood needed to be replaced. Dan gave that job to figure out how to fix and make it happen to Paul!!! Mission accomplished! Dan and his men are very easy to work with. I called Dan at the last minute to add the door lockset as it broke before they came out. He had no problem adding to my list of jobs, immediately sending me a revised proposal which I approved. Dan was quick to respond to my phone calls and always professional and friendly. I am completely satisfied (and happy) knowing that my list of things to have done is now done! I will absolutely contact Home Solutions Handyman should I need anything done. Thank you, Dan, Paul and Dave.
Description of Work: Replaced damaged drip edge at base of aluminum siding at the brick. Repaired brick mortar. Caulked and painted drip edge. Installed gutter filter where needed. Wrapped front posts and trim. Replaced broken motion sensor light. Replaced broken lockset on entry door.

He arrived on time to look over the job and promptly emailed an estimate. Within a week the damaged siding was replaced. The new siding exactly matched the existing siding on the house. The repair is nearly invisible. He gave me the leftover pieces and wrote down the style and color for future reference.

As always Dan and his team were courteous and very professional. They arrived on time for each of 2 appointments and were very thorough in the work they did. They worked with my schedule and let me know if they needed to alter their initial plan. The work looks great and my house is now ready for the seller to move in. I was able to use my Angie's List discount without any problem. I highly recommend Home Solutions Handyman.

The employee did an excellent job replacing 3 shutters and some siding that was damaged during a wind storm! He even noticed the bird's had built a nest under a piece of siding and took care of that at no additional charge. The repairs are undetectable even by me and I know where they are. A total stranger would never even realize any repairs had been made. I asked for a received a proposal to pressure wash the siding and got the proposal in less than 48 hours. A very professional company in my opinion and I would recommend them to anyone looking to have this kind of work done.
Description of Work: The company replaced 3 shutters and some siding that was damaged during a wind storm. He removed siding from the back of the building and placed it in front of the building where the damage was so that it would blend in better. Purchased new siding and replaced siding removed from back of the building. He even bought a couple extra pieces of siding in case we have more damage in the future.

Have a bathtub that wouldn't hold caulk more than 6 mos at a time. The guy who was sent to do the job came late, but, he was very nice and personable and a delight to talk to. However, after he removed the caulk, he thought you only had to remove the residue with soap and water. Everything I had read on the subject indicated you had to clean everything very well with denatured alcohol (which I had on hand but he didn't use)...figured he was a handyman and knew more than me, a woman. He got the job done and after one or two days I could see it already coming loose near the downspout where it always came loose. He made a quick trip back to see what was up, determined I needed to empty my bathroom closet to see behind the wall, but neither he nor I had the time that day to accomplish that task. Made another appointment, discovered I needed more backing foam (which I had), so he added more and recaulked the the faucet wall only. I still had the caulk, so he used no materials of his own and the company charged me another $135 or so for this redo. I complained to the company and they said that I had to pay for his travel because he didn't do the job the day he came to see what needed to be done, the day NEITHER of us had the time for. I must say though, it has been almost a year and it's still holding, so HE really is the hero, although I didn't like the way I was treated by the owner on this redo, and that's why I'll never recommend/have them again. I don't remember what the original charge was, just the additional because it made me angry...I know it was too much, but when you need something done and can't do it yourself, you have to pay what they ask.

We went to the member’s house and re-caulked the bathtub/shower. The Craftsman removed the old caulk and cleaned the residue off the tub with denatured alcohol before installing new caulk. I’m not sure why the member thought he only used soap and water. The Craftsman had his own supplies, and wouldn’t ask to use the member’s supplies. If he did not clean the residue properly, the caulk would not be holding up after a year. The member contacted us a few days later and said the caulk was coming loose at the spout. The Craftsman made a trip to take a look and it was determined that whoever did the bathroom remodel, left too large a gap around the spout and the caulk would not hold up without additional support. The Craftsman was prepared to do the work on the second trip, but the member had to leave and the Craftsman came back a third time to install a backer and re-caulk around the spout. The additional charge was for the additional work that was due to someone else’s shortcomings, and the fact that we had to make an additional trip. The member was only really charged for one additional trip. It costs time and money for the Craftsman to make a trip. That is why most companies charge a service call.

Had work done to repair a leak through my kitchen ceiling near a light fixture. They came out and opened up the ceiling, checked out all the wiring to make sure there was no permanent damage, and then came back after a couple days to re-plaster. The guy who came out took his time explaining everything to me about what he was doing, the material used, and even kept a ceiling sample so I could take it to Home Depot for color matching. Overall, a great experience and excellent workmanship.

I contacted Dan the very last week of the year hoping to get a small 3 step stair case put on the back of a rental property. I knew it was going to be a ridiculous request to get the work done before the end of the year so I had some capital improvements on this property for the tax year but I made the request anyway understanding if he could not get the job on such short notice, but he got it done and it looked good! Very nice work!

This project was more complex than normal because Dan's crew was renovating an older house in Cincinnati and I was not in the area most of the time. He kept me advised of all aspects of the job, through phone calls, emails and lots of digital images of the work in progress. We started in the spring with some minor trim and downspout repairs as a trial project. I was pleased with this service so I decided to have Dan Landon undertake the complete exterior renovation of the house. During the course of the work, I found Dan Landon to be very responsive and ready to implement logical and economical solutions to emerging issues, such as a badly deteriorated gutter box over the porch. Work was complicated by the extended illness of a key craftsman that made it necessary to reschedule a large amount of work. This was done in a reasonable manner and the work was completed on the flexible schedule that we had laid out because of the generally poor condition of much of the home's exterior and uncertainty of what might be discovered in the course of the job. I am completely satisfied with the work performed and recommend Dan Landon and Home Solutions Handyman without reservation for a skilled, economical team to satisfy your building repair and renovation project.
Description of Work: Dan Landon and his crew transformed an ugly duckling dwelling into a gem of the neighborhood. The project consisted of replacing much of the front porch structure, replacing the garage door and its framing, shoring up several locations affected by installing steel support piers, and installing a new wooden stairway over deteriorated cement steps. There was also significant trim and gutter/drainage system work that emerged as a necessity as the project proceeded.

We had accumulated several jobs around our 25 year old house. On Angie's List I searched for a company with a good rating, not too far away from our home and could accomplish everything. I found Home Solutions Handyman in Milford, called for an appointment and Dan came over. We went through the list of tasks, and Dan agreed that they could do it all and added a couple good suggestions. Dan came back promptly with a bid. It was a couple weeks before starting the work, but that worked out fine with my schedule. Adam came over to do the work. Adam was great. He was pleasant, worked hard and cleaned up after each day. Adam had the skills and tools to do all the work. We are very pleased with the work. I think the price was O.K. considering the hours required to do each task and the materials used. I wouldn't hesitate to use Home Solutions Handyman for another job and undoubtedly will.
Description of Work: Replaced damaged exterior trim around a window, patched water damaged hole in bathroom ceiling dry wall, installed new bi-fold doors in mud room closet, replaced damaged deck railing, caulk and paint roof trim over screened in porch, shave hinged wooden gate between house and garage and re-install gate handle and installed plywood on an inside garage wall.
Home Solutions Handyman performed a variety of projects for us at our residence: exterior carpentry repair, window repair and replacement, drywall installation, bathroom remodeling and tiling, chandelier repair and installation, and more. In each case, Dan Landon and his team's performance was exceptional. Dan provides a great deal of personal attention and care during the project. His people are experienced and committed to doing great quality work. The work was completed on time and on budget, and the results looked and performed great. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for better quality and service. When our next home project comes up, Dan is the first person we will call. We encourage you to do the same. There is a reason he has won so many Super Service Awards from Angie's List over the years. They are a product of his commitment to doing quality work and providing excellent customer service. Highly Recommended!

The painting was poor quality and they did the minimum. I had the painters calling me at work asking if I was going to come home so they could get paid. Very unprofessional and I was supposed to pay the contractor not the repairman. They used old paint found in my basement versus matching and purchasing new paint (which was part of my estimate). They were just trying to cut corners to increase their profit. The sales person who sold me the job was very professional and together - the people who showed up to do the work were not. 6 months after they painted, it has already started to fade and peel.

We find it interesting that the work was done a year ago and we are just now hearing about concerns with the work. Since reading this report, we have tried to contact the member so we could make an appointment to address the problem. The home phone has been disconnected so we left a message on the cell phone. We have not heard back yet. Part of the work done was to repair a front door system that really needed to be replaced. We patched the door jambs in several places and told the member that patches do not last and are not a very good idea. The member insisted that the house was being sold and they did not want to invest in a new door. We painted the front door with the paint the member gave us to use. We did not go looking for “old” paint to try to save money. We recently stopped to look at the peeling paint. The “peeling” is the patch that did not hold; just like we said it wouldn’t. With regard to the fading paint, all exterior paint fades; we have no control over that. The member should take this up with the paint manufacturer. The Craftsmen that did the repair work also did the painting on the front door. There was no subcontractor doing the painting. The Craftsmen asked the homeowner to come home and do a walk-through of the work that was done and settle up with us. We apologize if the member felt pressured, but our policy is to review the work when it is completed, address any concerns, and then settle up. We are more than happy to repair the patch on front door again if the member will contact us, but it will not last.
