We are very happy with the work Walt did. He was thorough, clean and polite. Walt was willing to get the extra parts we needed from a home improvement store to connect the new sink and fix the drawer. All in all a very professional guy who knows his stuff. He was also punctual and went the extra mile to get our kitchen back in working order as quickly as possible.
Description of Work: In preparation for granite countertop installation, Walt disconnected & removed our old kitchen sink as well as disconnected and pulled our gas stove. He also fixed a drawer that had broken in the kitchen and reconnected the sink & stove when the countertops were complete.

I had a little trouble scheduling Walt because he is so busy but felt it would be worth the wait. We eventually scheduled some time and Walt arrived 15 minutes early. He immediately got to work after I showed him what I needed to have done. He worked steadily for the rest of the day and completed everything I asked him to do. His work was professional and I was extremely pleased with how much he got done in one day. I would hire him again for any other handyman work I need done.
Description of Work: Walt did some drywall repair, painted my front door, fixed a broken fence, caulked 2 bathtub areas, repaired living room baseboard, fixed loose stairway railing, tightened sagging kitchen cabinet doors and repaired some closet doors.

Walt did a great job. I strongly recommend his work to others. He came and estimated the job, and the job came in close to the estimate amount. Walt picked up the wood materials in advance and brought them to the job. He showed up on time and worked hard, taking only short breaks on a hot day. As Walt replaced boards, he nailed in the replacements completely, and then completely caulked up the work. Walt did a more thorough effort than I expected.
Description of Work: Work on my house, to remove, replace, caulk and prime 40 feet of 1" x 8" exterior "belly-board". These boards sit low on the siding, at the foundation. Wood had rotted.

Excellent, Walt did a fantastic job. He was professional, prompt and finished the job earlier, than quoted. He worked with me on getting the time and date, that would work, due to my overly busy work schedule, and always returned my phone calls that day or the next day. I will definitely, be using him again for handyman services.
Description of Work: Walt installed 12 2 1/2 inch wood blinds for me.

Walt was great. He came when he said he would, he went out of his way to procure the molding and make sure the paint matched, and he worked with such quiet efficiency that I hardly knew he was here. In fact, I had expected to move the furniture around in my daughter's bedroom so he could replace the baseboard moldings, but he had the job already completed and the furniture back in place before I even realized he was in there.
Description of Work: I had about twenty odd jobs that needed completion in advance of listing my house for sale. Exterior siding work, pressure washing, deck repair, interior plaster work and interior molding replacement.

After we first contacted them about the jobs we needed done, Walt got right back to us and kept in communication throughout the whole process. Walt and his wife, Tammy, are a great team! They were always prompt, professional, courteous and fast and have the knowledge, experience and skills for the kind of home repairs we needed done. We would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: To get our home ready for sale, they performed a variety of tasks for us which included deck repair, drywall patching, light fixture installation in the dining room, vinyl floor replacement in the kitchen, a unique step ladder system for the crawl space under the house and other small jobs. The price for their work also included material costs.

Walt was friendly and helpful on the phone. He was extremely punctual in his arrival. The work was completed well, and he took care in what he was doing. He offered suggestions for future improvements. His hourly rate is more than I would normally pay a handyman, but he was upfront about it so there were no surprises and his professionalism merited a higher pay rate.
Description of Work: Walt removed aging and cracking caulk around bathroom and kitchen fixtures and a sliding glass door threshold. He then re-caulked all the areas.

I had contacted several handymen and Walt was the first to reply. He was a few minutes late but showed up as we had planned and got right to work. I had forgotten to account for the assembly of the cabinet itself but Walt went ahead and did that part as well while only charging a few extra dollars for the time (it took more time to assemble than hang). The cabinet doors weren't fitting well (product issue) and Walt spent extra time trying to fix it, even calling the manufacturer. He cleaned up afterward and was quite pleasant. I will definitely call on him again.
Description of Work: Walt and his assistant assembled and hung a large cabinet on the wall in our laundry room.

It went great! He and his wife, who serves as his assistant on the job, took care of everything on my list and they did it all well and quickly. They are a great team and they are pleasant to deal with. Walt really knows his stuff and he does good work. I will definitely call him the next time I need a handyman.
Description of Work: Walt did a number of miscellaneous jobs for me. He restored cold water to my kitchen sink, replaced a stripped bolt that was holding up my built-in microwave, taped and sealed the microwave vent duct, replaced an interior door knob, sanded down a bedroom door that wouldn't shut, relocated the strike plate so the door would latch, cut and installed two thresholds, removed a trim board that had nails cutting into a pocket door, took out the nails and glued it back in place. He also is estimating three other jobs for me: insulating four skylight tunnels with 1" foam board, replacing a garage door seal, and treating and capping six exposed beam tips.

Walt does what he says he will do-calls when he say he'll call, comes when he says he'll come, and does the work he says he'll do. The price was $25 higher than the estimate because he had to make some repairs to the beam underneath the drywall crack. As a result though, the crack won't return.
Description of Work: Walt fixed three areas where drywall had cracked due to settling. He fixed the area-including re-taping and re-mudding one area, then textured all of them.

It went very well. Walt was prompt in viewing the site, understood our requests, promptly returned with his price, stuck to the schedule and/or kept us informed of any changes in timing; he did excellent work, cleaned up after the project, and completely met our expectations. His price was less than the "big guys," with only one small addition over the bid. He's a good craftsman and a nice person.
Description of Work: Replace boards in about 1/4 of the deck, repair support beam, and repair a bench.

After calling about 4 times and leaving voice messages, and after talking to the helpful folks and Angie's List, I got one return call from Walt with no voice message and no further interest. I returned that call and left a voice message and haven't gotten any more calls. I understand he might be busy with existing work, but I'm sure he must have 5 minutes to leave me a detailed voice message or give me an email to send emails to.
Description of Work: No work done- wanted to get Walt to help me with some home theater speaker wiring and some minor drywall repair after the wiring.

8/7/2006: Walt's estimate: $360 (plus, he said he could caulk in the bathroom, if I wanted him to). 8/14/2006: After work was completed (4 + hours), he asked for only $300. I paid him $350, plus $25 to his ''assistant'' for helping me put together refrigerator shelves, removing and replacing a stuck vacuum bag, and cleaning up.
Description of Work: Installed two bedroom ceiling lights. Replaced two light switches with 2 dimmer switches. Attached a light for over the kitchen sink. Replaced two old bathroom toilet seats with new bathroom toilet seats. Installed two bedroom curtain rods: 8'' long. Adjusted the laundry rooms louvered door in track: (the doors would not close together, and, they dragged the carpet). Pulled out the refrigerator (for me to clean behind) and replaced and balanced it. I may need help to remove downstairs bathroom wall-heater fan (for me to clean fan) NOTE: Walt did extra: removed, cleaned, and replaced downstairs bathroom heater and ceiling fan.

Walt called to say he would be about 1/2 later and he was here within that 1/2 hour. When he got here there were several other jobs I had thought of and he did them all in a professional manner. He is coming back to install two sinks and a bathroom fan (all of which he will pick up for me). I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to friends.

Walt is an all-around great guy. He showed up on Sunday morning at about 10:30 with his wife (equally wonderful and STRONG!) and worked hard until 8 PM. They brought along some needed supplies and sent me out for some others. He ended up charging his going rate ($450/day) for both of them (total $900 + $60 supplies), which was a great surprise to me. While both of them worked very hard in hot, dusty conditions, I probably could have saved a lot of $ by having him there alone for 4 hours to do the electrical stuff, and hired a couple of other guys at $10-12/hr to pull up and replace the flooring. If I ever had a technically difficult job or a job that needed to be done ASAP, I would definitely call on Walt. But for jobs involving simple labor, there are more appropriate and inexpensive alternatives. If he brings someone along to help, you should count on doubling the price.
Description of Work: From the crawl space attic, he pulled a 220 V wire out of a strange place in the wall, placed it in a safe location with steel plate guards. This involved taking a chunk out of the drywall and patching it up afterwards. Placed a 110 V wire in a new location. Capped off yet another electrical wire. Replaced the electrical access wire for the former sink disposal to a wire suited for a washing machine hookup. Helped smooth out drywall patches in preparation for painting. Pulled up three layers of vinyl flooring and underlayment in the kitchen and replaced it with new plywood. Answered all kinds of questions related to our kitchen remodel and provided good tips and strategies about how to do the parts we're doing on our own.

Walt showed up at the arranged time. The job was well done and everything was cleaned up. He even cut up the LP siding in pieces that would fit in my garbage. Walt did such a good job. I would definitely use his company again. Also, I would highly recommend the quality of his work.
