Gary showed up on time and ready to work. He is experienced and easy to work with. He did a quality job on all projects and the caulking was not easy to get to with the terrain here and even through a sudden cloud burst he finished the job. Would hire him again in future for many of the jobs that are just too big, heavy or complicated.
Description of Work: Laundry shelves hung up, ceiling fan installed, caulked outside 2nd floor windows, remounted a deck light that came loose.

We used BJs Hubby for Hire Inc. The service with them was very good. They redid a bathroom. The price was pretty reasonable from what I was told by the other people who were in the trade. They have very good cost. His professionalism, plus how well was the time that took him to put in toilet and all, he was very good with that. I think he did a good job but he left some grout on new floor that we just put down in and my wife was not happy all about that. We had mat put down on the floor and the grout does not easily get off of that. I would rate him an 'A' except for the cleaning.

Gary did a great job. He returned my call the day I called, then followed up the night before he was scheduled to do the work to confirm time and address, and reviewed the work we wanted done to make sure he brought all the necessary equipment. Gary arrived on time, introduced himself and then reviewed the various jobs before starting. Originally, we only asked for the fans and doors, but while he was there we found a few other projects and he was happy to help. I would hire Gary again, and would recommend him to others.

At the time of [member name removed] call I was overloaded with jobs and working 6 - 7 days a week trying to keep customers happy. I try to return all calls even ones out of my service area. Being so busy I failed to return [member name removed] call I am sorry he is upset.

He's really good and he's doing some more work for us again right now. He's very responsive, he listens, and he's very easy to get along with. He does good work. He's also highly skilled in a lot of things and is truly a handyman, but it kind of goes beyond that. He's a very handy guy and his price is reasonable.
Description of Work: BJs Hubby for Hire says that he doesn't do any roofing, but he's done some stuff for us like put in a vent for a bathroom fan and things like that on the roof. He's done some re-pointing for us on the front of the brick foundation and is currently doing some painting for us. He came in and did some pressure spraying to get some loose paint off and is scheduled to come in to do some hand scraping and painting for us in the near future.

Sometimes it is hard to get a hold of Gary and I have to call him a few times before he calls me back or I reach him. Sometimes, he is hard to nail down on which day he can come because if I have an inside job and he also has an outside job he is working on, it will depend on the weather which job he is able to work on. But, he does come the days he says he will come and works all day or until the job is complete. I generally pay him for the day, so I will ask him to do another small project if he finishes my main project before the end of the day. His work is very good. Occasionally there is something that isn't quite right, but he will fix it if I ask him to. He is very friendly and professional. He is very knowledgeable so when we aren't sure exactly what we want done, we can discuss what we are looking for and he can suggest ways to make it work. For example, when we wanted to add a door to an odd-sized doorway, my husband had tried to install a folding door and cut down a regular door and neither worked quite right. When Gary came out to look at it, he suggested that a solid door would work best. He also suggested which direction it should open even though I had originally thought I wanted it to open a different way. The finished result was very good and his way worked much better than my way would have. I like that we can trust him to help us get things done right since we are not very experienced at remodeling. We have an older house, so it had a lot of peculiarities we have to work with.
Description of Work: We have hired Gary on numerous occasions. Most recently, he installed a new ceiling in our basement office, along with new recessed lighting. He also installed all the baseboards and door and window moldings in our basement, cut and installed a custom-sized door in an odd-sized doorway in our basement, and installed a new drop ceiling with new light in our bathroom. He's probably done other projects as well since we've been using him since about 2009. I don't remember his actual daily rate, so I just put in 500. My last project was 2 or 3 days anyway.

I have a rental property in the Pittsburgh area and live out of town. The tenants had brought to my attention that one of the trees on the property had died. I called Gary and he provided a quick estimate and set a date for the work to be performed. To my surprise, Gary performed the work ahead of schedule. I am satisfied with the work as are my tenants.
Description of Work: The scope of the work was to remove and dispose of a dead maple tree and replace with a new tree.

Service was excellent. Gary called me right away and we scheduled for him to come out 3 days after calling me. He did a great job, was friendly and professional.
Description of Work: Replace 2 bathroom vents on my 3 story townhome.
He charged over $1000 for the whole work and he was here a couple of different days. He was a little hard to get because he was busy. If he says he is coming, it might take a while. He is very pleasant to work with. He does what one wants him to do. He is a nice guy. I would use him again in the future.
Description of Work: I used BJ's Hubby For Hire Inc in October 2011. BJ painted my fence in the back. He fixed up my patio. He did some power washing and brick pointing.

Like I had mentioned above, he handled a variety of tasks for us, all done professionally. He was also very easy to deal with and gave us a lot of valuable home maintenance advice over the years.
Description of Work: When we used to live in Cranberry until 2006 Gary Snow was our handyman over many years. He was excellent and did a variety of jobs for us ranging from tree removal, exterior house painting, door repairs, lighting, repairing plumbing problems, and a host of other stuff. We relied on him a lot, both for home maintenance advice and for getting things done. His rates were also very affordable. We left Western Pennsylvania in 2006 and moved back again in 2010, but this time to the South Hills. Since Gary mainly operates in the North, we haven't used him since moving back, but if we lived in the north again, I would definitely use him. He was the best handyman we have ever had, and have not been able to find someone of his caliber since.
