Delauro Remodeling & Repair Co

Dan was very friendly. He listened to the ideas we had for our kitchen. He offered suggestions too. He did up some plans and sent them to us. He then came out again and went over the plans and did some more measurements. We discussed all of our options and now we are waiting for estimates. Dan was great. He is not pushy he doesn't tell you should do. He listens to your needs and cost concerns. We are very pleased with him.

Great. Very professional and courteous. He made my wife happy, which is the biggest compliment I can give him.

I talked to Dan and he had set a date to come and fix my garbage disposal, but due to the fact it was my kitchen sink and I needed it fixed ASAP and he was extremely busy, I had to cancel the Big deal. I told him we would use him again. It was not his fault.

We were unable to use Dan because he was too busy and we needed it done immediately. It was the garbage disposal that was in my kitchen and i need to use that daily. We will use Dan again.

The service turned out fine. I think he did a fine job. He actually came back for one thing, but that was just to redo something in what they did. The price was good.

Dan takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. He is punctual, ethical, and professional. His workmanship is superior. I appreciate the fact that he high-balled his estimate and then adjusted it down when the job was done ahead of schedule. He is someone you would not hesitate to have in your home. He is neat, clean, and polite - a real gentleman.

They did great work! I was pleased with their service. I was told their were 2-3 painters and the service took about a day to complete. This was my first time using them.

We had purchased a big deal for the service, and the experience was very good. We had scheduled the service at our convenience. We were very satisfied. They were very courteous, thorough, and they were responsive to our schedule.

It took several calls to schedule the appointment. Once we set a date, however he was punctual and did call to let me know the morning of that his previous appointment was taking a bit longer than anticipated. Once he arrived he was very thorough and took great care to examine the area and determine how the outside outlet was wired and to give me an assessment of the condition of my wiring. He fixed an outlet that had become loose and replaced the whole outlet. In the basement we had a light fixture that would not fit in the spot where we had taken down the old fixture because of a vent nearby. He extended the wires and moved the box over a few inches to accomodate our new fixture. He installed it and it works great! Very happy with the work - it exceed the two hours I had purchased that is why the repairs cost a little more.

They did a very nice job and all came out well. Would use them again without hesitation.

I purchased a Big Deal for 8 hours of remodeling for $249. When the contractor made the first move to contact me, I got what turned out to be a completely inaccurate impression of professionalism. I explained my project and what I was thinking of doing, and asked when the contractor might be available to come have a look and give me an idea of the scope and cost of the project. I explained that my schedule was full for the next week but I would be able to schedule a time for the following week. He emailed me back and told me that he would be in my neighborhood the following day, during business hours, and would I be available then? I answered no, and explained again that I would need to schedule a time at least a week out because my own work schedule tended to fill up. I named several specific dates and times that I would be available the following week, and said that I was currently very flexible the week after that. A couple of days later he responded, asking about a time for the following day that I was clearly not available. I again stressed the importance of scheduling a time in advance so that I would actually be home, and listed some times and dates that were open on my schedule for the following week, noting again that my schedule was widely open after that. He waited until the day before one of these days to contact me again, at which point I had already penciled in another obligation. Nevertheless I made the time available, and lo and behold, he didn't show up. At this point I basically gave up trying to schedule time with this contractor. A few months later, knowing that my mother was doing some remodeling at her house, I figured I would ask if I could transfer the coupon to her, as she might be more able to work with this guy than I am. I asked, and the answer I got was that they would provide a crew of 2 men for 4 hours but since it was out of their driving radius of 35 miles, they would have to charge an additional $70 for gas. I checked the distances between this provider's location and my mother's house, and it was 40 miles. The distance between the provider and my house was 34 miles. I wrote this off as another unfortunate example of a contractor who publishes a Big Deal and then realizes that he doesn't feel like honoring it, and asked Angie's List for a refund.

I would definitely hire Dan Delauro again. He's a sharp and honest guy, he keeps a respectful crew, and I was entirely pleased with the result.

It went very well. i was contacted quickly after purchasing the deal and sending the email with the details of what I needed. the gentleman I worked with went to my house a couple of days later and completed the work while I was at work. He also followed up with a phone call to explain exactly what he did.

On time; polite & professional!; both fellas dressed neatly & in co. "uniform" tees & well groomed, worked steadily. Did I mention polite & professional? Cleaned up when done.

Dan was punctual and did a fantastic job. I told him he is our new handyman.

We chose DeLauro because he had A ratings and Dan said he could do the jobs performed above and also repair & paint the stucco on front of our Tudor home. We also wanted a quote for removing wallpaper and painting an inside hallway. He also was offering a 4 hours of work special for $325. In my first call to Dan he says to email what I need and then he will call me back. In my email to him I included 2 pictures of the front of the house so he could see all the areas needing work. This is an up/down duplex with walk-in 3rd floor attic, so it is quite high. We've had painters and contractors who would not work that high, so I wanted Dan to see what he was working with. After several days I don't hear from Dan and I call him back. He apologizes for not getting back to me and says they can do the job but he wants to send someone out to take a look. So Dan sends out a young man on his crew to take more pictures and assess what might be needed. Afterwards I spoke to Dan and asked him to give me an estimate of the costs. The following Monday he calls and wants to come out Tuesday, also saying he needs to see some things in person before he can give an final estimate. We agree that he and his crew (Dan and 2 others, including the young man) will come on Thursday. He also gently pushes for us to agree to let them do the hall painting as well so they can have a full day of work, thinking they will finish the railing work and electrical in 4 hours. I said no, that I need an estimate to show to the co-owners of the house. He further teases me with "what if the price is good," can we do the painting? I say "we'll see." They arrive on time at 8:30 am Thursday and soon discover that they do not have a long enough ladder to do the stucco work. Dan immediately tells me they don't do a lot of outside work, and if he had known it was that high he would have rented a ladder. Then he notices that there is stucco work above the metal awning over our front door, and says no way could they do that without some scaffolding. I told him that's why I sent the pictures, plus he had a crew member here. Dan apologizes saying the young man is not very experienced. I am very unhappy at this point, but we agree that they will prep and paint the railing, and he will go to a nearby Home Depot to buy the new hand railing to be installed. While the others paint, Dan installs the railing and then does the electrical work, finishing close to 3 pm. So much for painting the hallway. The painting and electrical work was very good, but I don't think Dan knew much about installing metal railings. It took him longer than he expected, and it wasn't as solid as we'd expected. I think Dan agreed to quickly to do this job, knowing that they don't do much outside work. And he should have come out himself to see what was needed in the first place, so he could realistically plan and give an accurate estimate. He lives in Novelty and we're in Rocky River, so that may be part of the reason. I'm sorry I didn't stop working with him early on when he didn't respond to my email and didn't send the requested estimate. I learned a lesson- to go with my instincts and not be swayed by A ratings. By the way, as Dan was leaving with my check in hand he said he would send an estimate for the hallway painting. That was 8/15 and today is 8/26. Do you think he will send one?

It was fine. They came out shortly after I purchased them. I spent more than the cost of the big deal, would say around $1200 total. He took the time he needed to get the job done. It was a bigger job than he thought it was originally but he came back for a few days to finish it up.

Dan did a great job! He was very thorough and professional. He did the repairs the right way instead of just doing it quickly to get it done. He and his coworker seemed to really care about the work. Communication was great.

It went very well. Dan DeLauro exceeded expectations. He and his crew completed the job to my satisfaction, were polite, worked carefully, respected my furnishings and were easy to have in the house. They even finished a day earlier than expected. I would gladly hire him again and probably will. As to price, it was a big hit for me, but fair. I checked out a site beforehand that gave low - high estimates for square footage of painting and Dan's price (without patching) was in the middle.

I purchased a coupon via "BIg Deal". Dan Delauro contacted me right after my purchase to schedule an appointment. The work was done at our rental property. We hope to make improvements in the home to put it on the market. Dan met me at the property right on time; was very professional. Work was scheduled within a couple of days. He arrived on time; work was done in a timely manner. He was very helpful in advising me of what he felt should be done and what appeares to be fine as it was. He sees a lot more homes than I do, so I very much appreciated his honest evaluation. He offered to help us with future projects at our rental property as well as our condo. I would not hesitate to hire him for other projects.

I used an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it was okay, nothing great. He went through the list and spent about 6 hours here. After that he said he would give us a quote for the two or three things that he did not finish but we have not heard back from him since. His work was fine and he did minor things like putting a shelf on the wall, mounting the flat screen TV on the wall and replacing a couple of electric switches. He was here when he said he would be and he did the job within a week after I contacted him. He also was going to put in a new sink, but I was going to have to buy the sink.

There were additional charges quoted so I decided not to use the Big Deal.

The service I purchased for the big deal went well.

/He was very pleasant. He explained what he was doing. He was through and made sure there were no leaks. He made a trip to a hardware store to get a part. Because the sales person at the hardware store did not return all the parts he had to make another trip to a closer store to get the part he needed. The leak was absolutely stopped. I am pleased for the success. The cost was a surprise. I had arranged for a special offer of $99.00 for two hours. I asked what the estimate would be and he quoted $50.00. He worked for three hours. I thought the charge was too high. I am sure the parts did not cost $50.00. It wasn't clear what the estimate included. Next time I will ask. Even so, the leaks are gone.

Dan responded quickly to schedule services. He showed up promptly and efficiently repaired some minor plumbing issues including leaking faucets and a leaking water line to the refrigerator. Everything was successfully repaired. Would definitely recommend this company.
