SERVICE WAS NEVER PROVIDED. ABSOLUTE SCAM!!!!
Description of Work: Once a quote was given to me, we called numerous times for a breakdown of services and NEVER RECEIVED A CALLBACK. They would return our phone call once out of ten calls. A date of service was set for 05/16/2014 and was told he would call and set a time the night before, which never happened. Today 05/16/2014 @ 2:31pm, I still have not gotten a phone call. I cannot wait all day for their call so I'LL NEVER USE OR RECOMEND THEM TO ANYONE.

It has been over 2 and one half years and the project has not even started. I have been incredibly patient. In May of 2011, Jason's daughter was hospitalized. Understandably, the start was delayed. The next date he gave me was the week of June 10. Needless to say the project. Further delays were blamed on adverse weather. Jason was apologetic but kept up postponing the start. The excuses continued through 2012 and well into 2013. We just experienced three weeks of near-perfect weather, which had been earlier forecast. Over the past few weeks I called the company number and Jason's private cell phone number numerous times. In each case I left messages to phone me. I also sent a number emails. All these attempts went unanswered. I have requested a return of my deposit as well the paint can samples that I provided them in April 2011. A recent check of the webside ot the PA Attorney General shows that registration number PA006358 expired July 1, 2011. It is that number that appears on the Angie's List page. .
Description of Work: A contract was signed early April 2011 for a job that was supposed to be completed by May 31, 2011. The job included the painting/staining of the back of my house and a second-level deck. It also included repairs to wood siding, replacement of a section of wood trim, and general recorking. I provided a deposit of $575 (leaving a balance of $550). The job was never started and the deposit was never returned. Now they do not return neither phone calls nor emails.

Work not performed because my own contractor arrived. I would have hired Hubby for Day with confidence.
Description of Work: Came and gave evaluation of the work to be done. Spent nearly an hour and went way under crawl space. They were genuine and professional. They were MOST impressive. My usual contractor suddenly found time to do my work, so I couldn't use Hubby for a Day, but I would HIGHLY recommend them

Jason arrived on time with his son, we explained that we needed to remove one large AC unit from one area and replace it with the other identical unit. They were fast, and efficient, within a short period of time the AC was up an running once again cooling the house. We had read some negative reviews regarding calls not being returned, as this was not the case with us. He explained that their has been storms at that time and they lost power and phone service. Hubby For a Day in our estimation, is prompt, reliable, honest, pleasant and reasonable. We had an excellent experience and will definitely call them again the next time we need a handyman. We highly recommend Jason & Son (HUBBY FOR A DAY!)
Description of Work: We have two identical thru the wall air conditioner's, one worked fine and the other was not cooling properly. After calling over a dozen AC specialist :( every one including Sears said "We don't work on through the wall AC. On one of the hottest days of 2013, we called "Hubby tor a day" (Jason) who returned our phone call within one hour and came to our house two hour's later. Jason's number is 570-594-2121 and his emergency number 570-216-1388

I was very understanding of some delays he had come up from his personal life including taking of his daughter who was in the hospital. The tile installation went well but I had to remind him and follow up multiple times to take out the old grout out first. He never took the old grout out so now the new grout is coming up easily. I find pieces all over. I have called him alot and he doesnt respond well or doesnt call back. I was going to have him do the wood floors but have since turned to someone else.
Description of Work: Installed new ceramic tile floors.

Description of Work: Something must have happened to these guys. They started out reliable and then disappeared. I gave them a $350 deposit on a $500 job to install and new door on the crawl space of our rental property. They never did the work and won't return emails. I hired them site unseen only because of Angie's List. It would be nice to get my money back....

Response from Hubby For A Day Home Improvements
He sent us to his house and the living there were very dirty. The yard was filled with dog doo. Everywhere. We told the client we would happy to do the work when the clients tenant moved out (he said beginning of Sept.) He agreed. We waited to hear from him. The next we heard was this complaint. I have a mail back up to prove this. We will be happy to refund at this point- this is a special order door and we will have to adsorb the loss.

They told me they would show up on Saturday before noon. They had my cell # as well as my home number. I gave them directions. They said they would be there. I waited all day. No one called to say they had a problem with keeping the appt. I e-mailed them today to ask what happened and to say that I still needed the job taken care of. They never bothered to respond. I am disappointed because they had a high rating on the list that is why I chose them.
Description of Work: It was a toilet fix. The mechanism in the back needed to be replaced

Jason came to look at what work we wanted him to do. He called back with a price within a few days, and we accepted his plan and price. We agreed to pay for all material up front so he would not be out any money if for some reason we decided not to proceed with the job. He came to our location and we paid him in cash for the items needed. His prices were well in line with what we could purchase the items for ourselves...ie...he did not mark anything up in any way. Moving the air conditioner was pretty simple and we supplied him the wire and fixtures needed. He did a wonderful and prompt job of doing this in just about a few hours. He had to come back to install the screen doors. When he returned to install the doors, he realized he could not adjust the doors properly the way they were made, however did suggest he could find two wood screen doors that he could make work. He took the aluminum doors back and purchased two wooden doors which he had to drive all the way to Allentown to get. He installed these doors in an hour....WOW.....they look great. No additonal charges and the doors were installed quickly so we could enjoy them. We have another project for him.....waiting for him to get back to us with a price. He is busy, but will find time easily to get your work done.
Description of Work: Jason moved an air conditioner from an existing window to a new location in a wall. He did this very nicely, and ran all electrical to the unit. In addition, he installed two screen doors for us. We wanted aluminum, however after purchasing two aluminum doors it was decided they would not work because the door openings were too short to allow any adjustment other than cutting the aluminum doors. Jason was able to get two wooden doors to work perfectly and we are totally pleased after he installed them. Jason is professional, honest, and punctual in doing his work. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants a fair price and a good professional job. I plan on using this guy again in the very near future. I am totally satisfied with his work and abilities. His prices are very well in line with this area, and the finished product is excellent. He has many talents, and will surprise you with his abilities. I cannot say enough good things about him.

called them up because they were referred to me. They called back and then came over and gave me an estimate there was some delay in doing the project, but it was a legitimate reason. The only problem was the prive of the tub changed because they quoted a fiberglass tub and I had wanted an acrylic tub which would have been about $400 more. So I agreed to the fiberglass tub as long as the original price stayed the same. They did include some extras which they didnt charge me. They were very professional and polite. It took a little longer than I thought, but overall I am pleased
Description of Work: replaced a bathtub. used a fiberglass tub. the also replaced put in new sheetrock

I contacted this company via e-mail from the ratings on Angie's List. I received an immediate e-mail response back from Jason and was assured that they do work on Saturdays (I'm only @ my PA home on weekends) and they would be available on the July 4th holiday. I explained that both the toilets in my home had been "running" and spontaneously flushing for, I'm ashamed to admit, SEVERAL YEARS! It was like having a ghost in the house with a really bad bladder problem. We arranged for noon on Sat the 2nd & I gave initial directions & both my home & cell numbers. That morning as I was driving into the development (around 11:00 AM) I was contacted by Don, Jason's Dad, and the owner of "Hubby for a Day". I completed the directions & he said I could expect them between 12 & 1 PM but no later than 1 PM. Around 12: 30 PM they came and were friendly and courteous, found & fixed the problem immediately and also fixed my water pressure problem. Probably a total of 1/2 hour. The price was more than reasonable, $45 and I'm arranging for more renovation work in the Fall- they gave me some great advice on getting started on picking materials....I highly recommend them- Great Guys for us gals who lost, or don't have, their own "Handymen" anymore.!!
