Response from A&W Home Repair
This member called me at exactly 10:41 PM I asked me if I have 24 hour service which I don't , my hours are listed on my profile and I am sure it said that we are closed. I asked him what he needed and he told me that he attempted to fix his shower diverter valve and got the cartridge stuck in the valve body and with the water on it keeps running and would I come out. I told him that I can not come out and before he let me explain myself he literally hung up on me. I only have one question for this genius where did he think I was going to get a cartridge and 11:00 Pm. I would never say no to anyone that has a real emergency this was not one of them he had to turn the water off in order to attempt his failed repair I did not see why this could not wait until morning.

I can write a whole long review about how terrible my experience was with Abe. If you’re a property manager or a landlord use someone else. He will make it very clear every chance he gets how much he doesn’t like work with managers and tenants. Especially if they’re section 8. HE DOESN’T GIVE ESTIMATES! The only good thing I can say about him is that he is on time. Other than that, find someone else for a handyman.

Every story has two sides here is mine. Mr. [Member Name Removed] called me and I did tell him that I don't like working for landlords because the really don't care about the quality of the work as long as minimum is done to pass inspections. He convinced me that he is going to be different. He understood that I work strictly hourly and he agreed to that. We both arrived on time I already knew the scope of work because he emailed me the violation list and I came prepared to start working. He than told me that he does not have permission from landlord to approve all the repairs and I should call the landlord or provide him with estimates for some of the work. I felt he had wasted my time, we had an agreement and now he is changing what we agreed on. I decided that I had more to loose than two hours if I took that job . I will take this opportunity to let everyone that is reading this review know that I am only interested in working with customers that are looking for quality work for reasonable prices. If you are looking for someone to duct tape your violations please pass me by.

Abe (Abraham) of A&W Home Repair was fantastic. He knew what to do and had the tools to do it. He agreed to let me work with him to complete the task. I am very pleased I found Abe to assist me with this overwhelming project. Whenever I again need a helping hand Abe will be the first person I call. Not only did he assist me with my project, I feel like I made a new friend! Thank You Abe, I really appreciate you.

Good. Abe came out as at the time promised and found that it was the extension hose for our faucet nozzle that was leaking and could not be replaced. He suggested we select a new faucet assembly from Home Depot. He came out again at the time promised and installed the new faucet without a problem.

I reached out on Super Bowl Sunday in a panic. I take care of a 96 year old lady whose mobility is tenuous at best. This bathroom toilet issue had to be fixed, and fast. I figured either I’d pay through the nose, or nobody would show. WRONG. A & W came to our rescue. After explaining my issue, he came out, fixed, and charged a fair fee. A & W is on my Favorite List.

Abe is an *** et to the community. He is hard-working, reliable, and always arrives with a smile. I have used his service over the years for help on a variety of projects, but his best skill is ceramic tiling. His tile work is meticulous and his attention to detail makes his craft worth every penny. Give 'Honest Abe' a call - you won't regret it!

All went well. Plus, as a bonus Abe fixed my water facet cartridge so that the hot and cold water corresponded with the color coded tab on the faucet. From the time I purchased the prepaid special offer coupon to the completion of service was less than 24 hours. The best service I've had in decades!

Abe let me know that there was a chance of breaking the pedestal since it was cracked. Also, the pipes were very old and one actually had to be sawed through to get it apart. Abe installed the faucets successfully. It was a bigger job than he anticipated. He also, consulted with me on particulars of the other two projects. Abe is skilled and professional. He was not condescending. It was a pleasure to have him in my home.

I called Abe on a Sunday late afternoon and he questioned me regarding how urgent the problem was. Not urgent so he gave late Tuesday for a visit. He called early afternoon saying he could come a little earlier and did. He found the trouble and we agreed a new faucet was necessary. My wife and I bought a faucet at Home Depot that evening and Abe came the next day and installed it. The job was completed to our total satisfaction. His courtesy, honesty and skill was greatly appreciated. We will be sure to call him in the future.

The jobs went very well. The exterior jobs were tricky to schedule due to weather concerns, but Abe was able to get everything done and came up with creative solutions to solve some issues we had. Very personable and charges reasonably. I absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone who takes pride in their work.

Provider called me asked what service I needed done. I told him I needed a kitchen faucet replaced. I had already purchased the new faucet. The Deal I purchased stated ($45 Plumbing Service Call Plus One Hour Labor) It also has a picture of a faucet next to it. the fine print states Can be used for any number of plumbing issues, ranging from toilet repair to garbage disposal de-clogging. Provider stated that he has another deal for on Angies list for $90.00 for faucet replacement. I have replaced a kitchen faucet myself in less than an hour. I called Angies list I was told they would contact the A&W and that he could not place a limit on this. I told them that I found him to be dishonest and that I didn't want him in my home and requested a refund After posting this review the contractor called me and cured me out for posting this review. I had to call Angies List and my local police to file a complaint

I called the customer, I was told he wanted a faucet installed, I explained to him that I have an offer for a faucet installation and he would have to pay me the difference between what he purchased and the actual price for installing a faucet. I tried with no success to explain to him what is written in the fine print of the deal . It states that the picture on the deal may not always represent product/service. It also states that the deal cannot be combined with other specials or offers. For those very few that look at the picture instead of reading the entire deal description Angie's List has replaced the faucet picture with the hope that customers will not misunderstand the deal.

Abe was fantastic! Couldn't have asked for more. The first time I contacted Abe I left a message in the afternoon and he replied early that same evening. Abe put me on the schedule and arrived for the job at the time he said he would. I have had Abe come by three times now and every time he is prompt, professional, and does the job well at a realistic price.

It went well. He showed up on time. He replaced it within 15 minutes and since we paid for an hours time, he went over other things in our house and gave my husband advice.he was straight forward and helpful. He also fixed our constantly running toilet. My husband is not handy.

He did it so well, and it came out superbly. He gave me an estimate before he started, and he stuck to exactly what he told us it would cost. It was a relief. It is just one guy, who is very nice/professional. He is a wonderful guy. He is very punctual, and pleasant. The job is always done professionally, and I have not had any complaints. I have used him a couple times before, and would highly recommend him. His pricing is very reasonable as well. He is the only handyman that I would call now.

When the provider showed up I noticed immediately that he had filthy shoes on. I asked him if he has his booties, he claimed they are in the truck. I asked him to go get them. He said he can't because they will make him fall. He got my throw rugs dirty and now I have to wash them again. Later he admitted that he didn't think he has the booties in the truck. I feel that he disrespected me and my home. It took him 8 tries to get the number on my credit card right. I had to read the number to him over and over and over again. Yes, I was upset with his dirty shoes, but he did the work better than the previous big company that came out. I would like to have him come back again.

I responded to a call on Friday at 5:30 PM , the woman was concerned her water was running and she could not turn it off. I arrived at 6:00 PM she did ask me about shoe covers I went out to my van that was full of equipment from a job I had just finished. I wanted to get to this call as soon as possible it was getting late and all supply houses were going to close soon and I would not have excess to parts if I needed them. She had runners made of extra carpeting all across her floor and I told her I would wipe my shoes well which I do anyway. I took her faucet apart went for parts repaired her running water and replaced badly deteriorated water spout. As I was taking my tools out she started to complain about my shoes and accused me of going in to her bedroom. She complained about me not telling her how much the parts are going to be before I came out. She threatened to call the police if I did not leave and my reply was please do call them. She than preceded giving me her credit card number half a dozen time and it would not go through. She called me stupid every time and other things as well. I had than told her that I was not going to play that game anymore and I was going to turn her water off and leave. She than gave me the right numbers and the transaction went through. I feel good about what I did there that night I helped an undeserving person with a problem and I did my job. It's very sad to see a woman of her age acting so abusive and unappreciative to someone that came to help her. She made me realize how lucky I am to have so many wonderful customers that appreciate and like my service. I have asked Angie's List to look into this member past behavior with other service providers.
