My wife and I couldn't be happier with the work that was done. We have owned the house for 25 years and have had many experiences with contractors and handy men. This is the first time we can say we are completely satisfied with the work that was done. Eric, Tim, Matt and Julio,are professional, courteous, punctual and most importantly, they know what they're doing. They take pride in their work,, and really pay attention to detail. They were here for a close to four weeks and during that time I realized that they truly care about customer satisfaction.

They did a beautiful job. Two guys came out at night to fix my leak and they were here for three hours. I didn’t get an estimate up front and when I asked them what I owed them, they said $150.00. I told them that they wouldn’t make any money at that price and offered to pay $200.00. They didn’t have a part to completely fix the drain and offered to come back on Sunday. They didn’t come out and haven’t returned my calls since then. I have since fixed the last piece and it hasn’t been an issue and it hasn’t been a big deal.

We called Eric and he came to give us an estimate the same day. We needed this job done within a few day's notice and also needed it complete within a week. Eric said they could do it. To ask this of a contractor is pretty crazy but he agreed to take on the job. Eric and his guys came in a few days later and started up. They removed the wall, moved the electric, installed a supporting beam to form an arch nearly the entire length of the rooms and covered it all in drywall. They removed the door in one of the rooms and sheetrocked over it. They ripped up three rooms and a hallway (including three closets) worth of carpet and installed 450 sq feet of laminate flooring and 1/4 round trim throughout. They matched up the baseboards and installed it where it was needed. They ran into some electrical issues along the way and got their Electrician in to fix them. Eric and his guys even took care of a couple things not on our list and made sure everything was done perfectly. They took an extra day to finish it all up but considering the short notice we gave them and the excellent quality of the end result, there's no way we're complaining. Everything looks amazing. You would swear the flooring came installed with the house and that those two rooms were always one big one from the start. Their attention to detail is great. Also, they're just really good guys. They're friendly, they offer good advice and solutions to problems that aren't part of their job, and they conduct themselves like professionals. Eric kept us informed of their progress all the way through and always called with questions or if anything unplanned came up. We wouldn't hesitate to call them again in a heartbeat. As long as Able Hands is in business, they'll be our first and only call for projects like this. We found them here on Angie's List but us being dummies, we forgot to mention the 10% coupon. That was our fault, though and has nothing to do with these guys.
Description of Work: Remove a load-bearing wall to combine two rooms into one, remove an interior door, install laminate flooring and trim throughout the entire second floor, install ceiling fan.

Eric was kind enough to squeeze me into his already booked schedule... and within days at that! Work was performed on time and at estimated cost. Workers were very professional and courteous. End result was a beautiful new wall... and a huge monkey off of my back! I would highly recommend! A++++

I wish we would have found Able Hands from the start of our project!!! We are in the process of renovating a century-old, multi-unit home and had some set-backs with other contractors along the way. We found Eric through a trusted referral and had him do a walk through. He immediately put us at ease with what we thought was a "monster load" of repairs ahead of us. He provided us with a detailed estimate of the work needed on the spot and a time line for completion so we knew exactly what to expect. All of the work was completed with PERFECTION and ahead of schedule, even considering all the hidden flaws he came across and fixed at no charge. I've had a lot of experience (good and bad) with contractors in the area and I can say with utmost sincerity that no one can match Eric's passion and care for the work he does. Not to mention he is friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and extremely fun to be around! Most importantly, I cannot stress the value of a contractor who is trustworthy. We were completely comfortable with leaving Eric a spare key to the house to continue working when we couldn't be there. He did not let us down. If I had known about Eric and his crew when I started this renovation, I would have no need for any other contractor. Eric is now our "go-to guy" for EVERYTHING and we couldn't be more grateful for all the flawless work he has provided. We look forward to working with Able Hands again and again and again...

Eric and his crew were excellent. They were very responsive and professional; they did their work promptly and under their initial estimate. When we found the bathtub had to be re-sealed, Eric showed up the next day to do it himself. He also helped to replace a light switch, free of charge(which still isn't working but it turns out there's a wiring problem, not his fault). He was very solicitous to help, but not pushy; good with my young sons who wanted to watch everything, and was determined, even if he had not gotten the job, to give us good advice on how the job should be done properly. He found tile that closely matched our 1963 bath tile and was very eager to listen to what we wanted.

Very open and honest with the estimate provided on the spot. Did not exceed amount. Took a bit longer than expected but the job was thorough. Able performed additional minor work not originally included in the estimate. Even fixed a clogged pipe at no additional cost over a weekend. I would definitely use them again.

Would definitely recommend Able Hands, Inc.
Description of Work: We purchased a "fixer-upper" for our daughter to eventually move into and buy. We wanted to get her into the house as soon as possible to avoid further rent payments, so we immediately signed up for and searched Angie's List. We live an hour and a half away so we were unfamiliar with contractors in this area. We called 2 contractors, and Eric responded exactly when he agreed to, while the other didn't call to let us know he would be a day late. He gave us a (free) estimate to re-do and update the plumbing and electric in the house, and could start within a few days, so he got the job! Eric and Tim were very professional and courteous, and stayed on the job, even with my additional requests, until it was finished to our satisfaction. Eric also parked his dump truck for us to fill twice , and hauled it away, allowing us to be more flexible with the demolition. We called them to install a tub/shower unit and a stand up shower at a later date and they completed it exactly when they said they would. We worked alongside them many times and they were helpful with advice. They guarantee their work and we couldn't be happier - would definitely recommend them! And more than likely, we will be calling them again in the future.

Eric is a competent, conscientious worker. We hired him to do repairs to our roof which involved replacing and/or repairing shingles which were buckling and coming away from the roof and to correct areas where water was not draining properly and causing damage. His recommendations for repair work and to rebuild roof extensions and power wash the roof has given us a few more years on a roof we thought we would have to replace. While he was on the job we asked him to do some siding repair and to haul away some old materials. Eric is knowledgeable and helpful, and we were very pleased with the work he has done. We would recommend him wholeheartedly and have already contracted with him for more work.
Description of Work: Roof repairs: Replaced bad sections of shingles and repaired others; re-built roof extensions. Siding: Replaced damaged sections of vinyl siding. Power washing: Power washed roof and house. Hauling: Hauled away old materials from under deck.

At first I was really excited about the work he was doing. He was really thorough. Unfortunately it rained a lot last fall so he had to not work some days and it took longer than expected. I was understanding, but it seemed he was a little frustrated with the job being behind. He finished up the fence and did a really good job. He power washed my deck at the beginning and he did a great. Then when he stained it he even started out taking off all the white wood beams holding up the rail, but by the end he got rushed I think. It was very splotchy. I told him, and he was willing to come fix it, but it still looked spotty. He told me that he would come back and fix anything if I felt like I needed it. I then later noticed that the whole outside of the deck never got stained. The part that you can only see when you are off the deck. When he called later to see how everything was, I let him know about the deck. I think he thought I was being a bit ridiculous. He said he would come by, but he never has. I really was happy with the job he did for the most part, but unfortunately the job is not done until its done, and he rushed the very last part. I also was disappointed that he said he would come back, and never did. Just tell me that you won't instead.

Eric was very professional. He promptly returned my call, came out for an estimate and completed all the work exactly when he said he would. The work was very well done, very professional. He did more work then we had agreed on. The retaining wall near my fence was all messed up and they fixed it at no extra charge. The fence looks great. I would highly recommend Eric and all his crew at Able Hands for any work you might need. I will be havng some more work done around my house and wouldnt even think of using anyone else.

Everything went flawlessly from start to finish. The crew members were neat, professional, and really cared about their craft. I was charged the amount we agreed to and they showed up every day on time. The one time they couldn't make it I was notified well in advance and we agreed to a different day. Able Hands is the only home improvement company that I have used in recent memory that actually care about their work, they didn't cut corners, didn't leave a mess behind, and didn't try to hide mistakes. Anyone looking for quality work for a fair price, accomplished in a timely manner, by a group of guys who love what they do and are proud of what they do should hire Able Hands, Inc. This group is truly a "throw back" to a time when Americans took pride in everything they did.
Description of Work: Eric and his crew refinished a banister, railing and stairs from circa 1940 including strip, stain and poly. It is now a piece of art and the focal point as one enters our home. You would really have to see the before and after to appreciate this completed project, but even just seeing the finished product will make one smile. In addition, Able Hands installed solid wood doors, including window and doors frame moldings and hardware in two bathrooms, a medicine cabinet in one bath, and trimmed a bedroom door. The crew installed two ceiling fans and crown molding in the living and dining rooms.

Overall exceptional service, exceptional price, and quality. Would highly recommend, and would use him again for other needs myself.
Description of Work: He came promptly after being called, and gave me a very reasonable fence estimate. He got our permit in place and paid for it. Had the power company come out to make sure there were no power lines drilled into. Drilled holes for the posts a few extra feet and added stones so that the fence would drain, poured cement. He called us at the depot to tell us there was a better fence then we had initially picked which I thought was awesome he would go out of his way to do. He powerwashed our deck, and is staining it. The fence is all in except the gate. He is going to paint the fence white, and has given us a great warranty on the work that he has done. He has also offered to remove the ugly old shed we have under our deck for free. Overall, great service, great quality, great price, very impressed. Would highly recommend, and would use him again for other work.
