John and his son came to do the work. The work itself was done well. However, it took at least two hours longer than it should have. I discovered John on the phone and it appeared that his son was doing all of the work. It ended up costing me more than $300 more that the price of the Big Deal itself.
Description of Work: Assembled several bookshelves and a file cabinet.

John and his son Brian worked quickly and performed quality work. They are very personable and know what they are doing. I will definitely use them again for projects in the future.
Description of Work: Purchased a deal (149$ for two hours of labor with two workers plus $100 in materials for my project). Installed two exhaust ducts for two bathroom exhaust fans (ducting two bath fans to outside via louvered vent in attic), recaulked a portion of the tile in bathroom, and also refastened several return vents that had come loose from the drywall.

Everything went great. John & his son were very professional. They installed a new foyer light in no time. Then they were flexible & were able to stay longer than intended to do an additional job for us that took a couple hours. So were able to get 2 "big" projects done in one visit which was great, especially since we didn't have to schedule another time for John to come back.
Description of Work: John replaced a foyer light as well as our front door.

The contractor was responsive and showed up as scheduled. They recaulked an undermount kitchen sink and partially recaulked a shower. The quality of the completed work was very good, however, they did not fulfill the service expectation. The team left after 2 1/2 hours and did not finish recaulking the shower. I will need to finish the job myself or hire another contractor.
Description of Work: Caulk repair - $99 for 3 hours (Angie's List Big Deal). They recaulked an under-mount kitchen sink and partially recaulked a shower.

He just came on Monday. He was here for just under two hours but he had someone else with him. He did what I asked him to do. I spoke to him right away and he said he was booked until February 20th. I was told to contact him after that. I contacted him this Saturday to book a time. I actually spoke to him on Monday and he came that day because he had some openings. He came when he said he was going to come.
Description of Work: I used a big deal purchase for John Elliott General Contractor. He caulked all around my master shower, which had started to crumble, etc. He also replaced the caulking in the ceiling and around the bathtub.

It was pretty good. It cost us about $40 more than the big deal, but my husband didn’t complain about anything; so I think he did okay. I wasn’t home but the door looks fine; it opens and closes fine, so it went well. My husband said he did a good job. He was reliable. We had a door put in previously which turned out to be terrible, but when this guy put it in, it was good.
Description of Work: We purchased a big deal for John Elliott General Contractor for up to four hours of handyman service. He put in a storm screen door for us.

John was excellent. He was very professional and prompt. When I first set up appt. I asked him could he stop by to help me pick out grout and caulk colors as this bathroom is old and I do not know what to purchase. He stopped by and helped me and the rest of the experience was just as great. We set up the appt. and then John called to confirm on the day before just like he said he would do. He arrived promptly and was very professional and did beautiful work. He cleaned everything up when he was finished. It was a great experience altogether. i would definitely use his services again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Recaulked and grouted complete bathroom.

John's response time to my call was quick. He was out at the house the next day and we discussed what might need to be done. Appointment was scheduled, John was on time and kept me in the loop each step of the way. He did what he said he was going to do in the time he said he would do it. The job appears to be very well done. We are pleased and will be using him for some remodeling projects in the future. John appears to be a consummate professional who can handle most all building and maintenance jobs. He is very easy to work with.
Description of Work: Checked for roof leak and repaired. Removed and replaced damaged drywall. Fixed bathroom sink issue.

We recommend when you purchase anything you read what you are buying. We work in a pair which generally suits our customers best and it is clearly stated on the big deal.

I thought it went very smoothly, considering that I hadn't prepared very well for the handyman visit. I am basically clueless about this stuff! John and his son worked on hanging my framed artwork while I headed out to Home Depot to purchase all of the necessary supplies for various repairs, replacements, and installations, including toilet repairs. John advised me to purchase certain materials with helpful and specific detailed information, e.g. specific measurements. This was helpful when I arrived at Home Depot, because I just turned over this list of supplies and they got everything I needed. Also, before finishing up, John noticed that my toilet was still running and asked me to go to Home Depot again to get the necessary part to make the final repairs. He didn't charge me for the time it took me to get the necessary parts! I thought this was incredibly thoughtful - not to charge me while I was getting the materials from Home Depot - he was "off the clock" and waiting for me to get back, and he only charged me for the actual time he spent working on the job. Thank you for being fair, John!
Description of Work: John Elliott and son completed all tasks on my long list of "to-do's" - various handyman services ranging from hanging heavy framed artwork to toilet repair to installing a new kitchen faucet.

He did good, I would probably consider calling him on the future. He was good and there were two of them here. He could of started working on the other door while there was someone doing the front door and then went ahead to charge me an extra amount. I'm not a carpenter but he seemed like he was sort of standing there talking to his friend more than helping. But again, I'm not a carpenter so maybe there was something he needed to stand there and help him with so I don't know. He was here when he said he would be. He was professional.

John was friendly and professional in all aspects of the service from the initial call right through the completion of the work. They arrived right as scheduled, went straight to work and fixed the roofing problem without delay. They were extremely respectful of me and my property and cleaned up thoroughly when finished. It was as if they were never there. I couldn't be happier with the service and the work and would not hesitate to use or refer John again in the future. Excellent!!
