Description of Work: Wallace came to the house and performed several handyman tasks including putting on a door knob, unsticking a window and looking at other things in the house. Very helpful and professional. Showed me how to do things myself next time:)

Response from WALLACE L RAINEY
ARE YOU SURE YOU GOT THE RIGHT NUMBER? I DON'T RECALL GETTING A MESSAGE FROM YOU. ONCE IN A WHILE, PEOPLE LEAVE MESSAGES THAT ARE GARBLED, CUT OFF, OR JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND. I TRY TO LISTEN TO ALL MY MESSAGES OVER AND OVER TO DECIPHER A CORRECT PHONE NUMBER, BUT SOMETIMES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. COULD THAT BE THE CASE HERE?

Wallace came over to look at the work to be done. He mailed an estimate, but not for another week and a half, and we had called him twice in the meantime and left messages. But the price seemed reasonable. He was busy right away, so we waited a few weeks for the work to commence. He did it all within 8 working days, but no weekends (except the 2nd Sat. since he had promised it done the day before, and we had a party on the Sun. and we established that we wanted it done before then up front). The work was done quite nicely, with the exception of some debris still on the wainscoting from when I removed the wallpaper before; I would have liked to clean it before he replaced the sink cabinet, b/c now it's impossible to get to it, but you can still see the white film on the side between the wall and the cabinet. We paid him on the last day, and he charged $350 over estimate for supplies. I am not sure why that much (we bought the floor, sink, fixtures), but did not ask.(should have!)
IT DOES TAKE ME SOME TIME TO PRODUCE A GOOD ESTIMATE. ESTIMATING IS THE WEAKEST AREA OF MY BUSINESS. I TRY TO BE AS ACCURATE AND FAIR AS POSSIBLE TO BOTH PARTIES. AS FOR THE MATERIALS, IT WAS IN FACT ONLY $167.22 & YES, YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED ME IF YOU HAD QUESTIONS. ALWAYS ASK, IT'S YOUR HOUSE! THE $167.22 WAS FOR: UNDERLAYMENT FOR THE FLOOR, PRIMER FOR THE WALLS, ADDITIONAL PAINT FOR THE ADDITIONAL PAINTING YOU WANTED ME TO DO,THE NEW HINGES AND HARDWARE FOR THE DOOR AND MEDICINE CABINET, SUPPLY LINES FOR THE SINK & TOILET, WAX RING, RING SHANK NAILS (FOR FLOOR), COLONIAL CASING FOR THE DOWNSTAIRS WINDOW.

The whole experience was great from start to finish. Wallace took an extra week to give us his estimate, but made up for this with his hard work, great communication and great results. The bid was close to the final cost, a thousand extra was added for some additional plumbing, but this cost was shared as we own a duplex with a friend. Wallace did excellent work on every facet of the bathroom and it came out even better than we'd hoped. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is willing to share this knowledge at no extra cost. When some of the plumbing work done needed some additional work, he made sure to come back to do the repairs in a timely fashion. The timing of the work took longer than expected (approximately 10 days) but Wallace made sure to keep us updated as to why delays occurred and did his best to do it in as timely a manner as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Wallace to anyone interested in quality work at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: Demolition of bathroom (to studs), replaced drywall, replaced tub, installed pedestal sink, installed vent fan, installed medicine cabinet, prepared floor for marmolium, plumbing work, electric work to install lighting. Painted walls.

The basic things are timeliness, knowledge, quality, professionalism and attitude. Wallace was outstanding in all categories. He never missed a day of work. Rare part-day absences were always explained. Wallace always seemed very knowledgeable about construction techniques and he worked with exceptionally well qualified sub-contractors. I found that his quality standards and finished work to be quite high. His suggestions and recommendations were always useful. Wallace shows an excellent work ethic and a professional but friendly attitude. The job was always left in a neat and orderly fashion and after construction was complete the entire area was thoroughly cleaned and inspected. I would not hesitate to recommend Wallace for kitchen, bathroom or any general home repairs.
Description of Work: I had a complete remodel done on my kitchen and Breakfast Room. Everything from floor to ceiling, from wall to wall was replaced. Electrical and plumbing were updated as needed. New walls, ceiling, recessed lighting, chandeliers and all new appliances were installed. New fire door between garage and house was installed and many other smaller but no less important jobs were done quickly and efficiently. As many as possible of the old kitchen cabinets were recycled and installed in the garage, with laminate countertops and recycled light fixture, as an additional work and storage area. Price noted includes all products, all materials and labor for the complete job.

Wallace Rainey has remodeled my kitchen, bathrooms and other rooms in both my condo and now my house. He is honest, fair and very dependable. He is truly one of the most trustworthy individuals I have ever had in my home. When there is a more economical solution to a job, he encourages his clients to go that route. Wallace has done small and large projects for me for over 10 years, and I have always been pleased.
Description of Work: Wallace repaired walls in my guest bedroom, painted, and installed baseboards. He also repaired cabinets in my kitchen.

Wallace has been my go-to guy for four years. He is friendly, respectful, tidy and creative. I might be able to find someone cheaper, but I've come to know that I can trust Wallace and he stands behind his work. He keeps pretty busy, but he's worth the wait.
Description of Work: Wallace came over and installed a new tub and shower surround for me. He took out the old tub and tile wall and repaired the dry-rot behind and underneath. He put in a new shower valve and grab bars. Then he had his drywall guy come in to smooth out the wall to make it look brand new. Wallace also put in base board, re-keyed the door locks, and installed a dog door.
