handyman service, window cleaning
 + 0 moreNever returned call. Didn't do any work.
Description of Work: Called to get an estimate on exterior window washing and gutter cleaning. The woman said he would call within the next two days. He never returned the call. When a place of business does not return a call, I assume they do not need my business. I do NOT call them again. If their business depends on getting and returning messages then that aspect of their business had better be reliable and professional. I found another business that answered the phone, came within the week and did a good job.

Description of Work: I needed some yard work and work done inside the house and hooking up the water to the fridge.

handyman service, interior painters
 + 0 moreWe normally do this sort of work ourselves but didn't have the time. Rick was surprised we had done so much of the preparation ourselves. He was very easy to work with and would have prepped the room and bought the paint but we wanted to. We didn't shop around for prices and simply used him because he had the best grade on Angie's List.
Description of Work: He painted the combined living and diving room area of our home himself, with no crew, which took about eight hours. We provided the paint and we moved the furniture.

handyman service
 + -1 moreSome of the paper didn't absorb the paint in the right way, so there's a small area in one wall that is pretty apparent. He is something of a perfectionist though. I will point it out next time he comes in. He really did do a great job.
Description of Work: He tore down as much wall paper as he could in my living room and then he painted it. It is a 20 by 16 foot room, with 7 foot high ceilings. He also put up a chair rail.

interior painters
 + -1 moreRick was very polite. I read his reviews and was very disappointed at the prices he quoted me. He was super high on everything. There are too many other people to choose from! Not at all what I expected-but he was very well mannered.
Description of Work: Rick came over to bid on several jobs. He gave me a price of $1200 to paint my great room. He was substantially higher in price than the other people who bid. I ended up hiring a professional painter for nearly half of what Rick bid. The next bid was to remove two light fixtures and hang new ones he quoted me $600.00 and an extra $150.00 to add a box and hang a new fixture. A professional electrician charged me $150.00 and it looks great. I asked for ceramic tile in three bathrooms. He gave me a price of $1900 for all three (labor only 180 sq feet total) Larry Lint Flooring did all four baths plus additional decorative tile work around the master suite soaking tub( Labor and all materials, sub floor etc for $2,010.00)-and it looks fabulous.

In addition, Rick does Handyman work, so be sure to see his reviews in that category.
