So far, he's been able to repair everything I've asked him to fix, without collateral damage, and did it all very well and in a timely manner. He even removed a box attached to the outside, 2nd story of my house that was filled with bees. I've paid less for handy work but it was never at this quality.
Description of Work: Fixed electrical problems with chandelier & another ceiling mounted fixture 3' from chandelier. Also dismantled a large (approx. 7' x 7') plexiglass box and dragged it through the snow to specified location outside. I think the charge for this visit was very reasonable, especially considering what an electrician would charge....He was here on 2 other visits within the last month and repaired a long list of things I've needed done for ages.

I called Scott from work and he was at my house, work finished before I got home. Great job! Price was very reasonable too considering how quick the work was completed.
Description of Work: Sections of aluminum siding had come loose on the front of my house. Scott re-attached and re-aligned them.

He cleaned off the grill and got it work and it is like brand new. He arrived on time, the work was completed without harming my grass with his cleaning chemicals and he left everything cleaned up well. I also thought his price was very reasonable, especially in comparison to some of the other quotes I recieved. He also installed a furnace filter, helped me with some lightbulbs and checked the door bell. He did a very thorough job. He is also a very interesting man and I will be very happy to use him again.
Description of Work: I hired Simple Solutions to take care of my outside grill.

Stephen is very knowledgeable about home repair and his fees are more than fair. He arrived promptly and finished the job in less than an hour. I intend to call Steve any time I have the need of handyman services.
Description of Work: Steve removed an old storm door from the garage entrance, repaired and painted the broken door frame, then hauled the door away for me. I also had an old lamp that needed a new switch--though he didn't have one with him, he explained and demonstrated to me how to replace it.

It went very well, as described above.
Description of Work: I initially hired Steve at the recommendation of a hardware store owner to install an outdoor lamppost. He was prompt, did a great job and his price was very reasonable. He said he would do general handyman work, i.e. "honey do" lists. So, I put together a list of things I'd needed done for ages, like installing some new light fixtures, adding a shelf to a closet, some caulking, etc., etc. He did everything on the list beautifully and very quickly. He also installed a new garbage disposal for me. It's amazing what he can do, quickly and efficiently, and his prices are very reasonable. I've had him do work at my home four times now, and everytime I'm pleased.

Stephen responded promptly to the call and came to our home the following day and gave an estimate which was accepted. He was specific and clear on what the job would entail and the time frame required. As promised, he completed the work over a two day period. He was personable, professional, and did not disrupt the household.
Description of Work: We had a pipe burst in our family room, as a result, the job entailed insulating the pipe, drywall installation, and painting. Insulate outdoor faucet supply line inside wall by outside patio with foam pipe insulation. Fill wall cavity with R-13 fiberglass insulation. Fill hole in wall with 1/2" drywall, sand & paint to match existing paint.

I contacted Stephen Knapp at Simple Solutions on Friday, 6/21/06. I told him I found him through Angie's List. I explained my need and gave him directions to my home along with 3 numbers where I could be reached (home, work, cell). He said he would contact me on Sunday, 4/23 to schedule an appointment. He was nice and seemed interested in the work. I needed some drywall repaired in a guest bathroom amongst a few other repairs in the same room which we discussed over the phone. I never received a return call. Disappointing.
Description of Work: None.
