Never 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.

Rick always does a great job with yard work. My yard was a big, weedy, unkempt mess and he transformed it into a pleasant yard in one day. Rick is reliable, hard-working, honest, and personable.
Description of Work: Cut grass, weeded, trimmed hedges, transplanted a sapling, cleaned up yard.

I had called several times without getting any response. Thought he was over booked, so tried again few months later for other minor work that needed done, still no response. I'm not sure if he's in business anymore. His shop is on my way to work and the shop's sign is down.
Description of Work: I needed some yard work and work done inside the house and hooking up the water to the fridge.

Very poor responsiveness and professionalism. I will never call again.
Description of Work: I called Rick's Repair and Handyman Service for carpentry/handyman work. I asked to have an interior door and a garage door opener installed. No work was done because he never returned my calls. I called twice with no return call over a 10-day period.

Total lack of responsiveness. I called and left a message on 5/27. I had probably 3 days of work to get done. He hadn't responded at all by 6/2 so I called and left him another message. It's now 6/5 and still no response. I would never call him again for anything.

We 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.

Some 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.

He is exceptionally punctual, pleasant, professional, and efficient. He leaves the house cleaner than he found it. When he finds things that aren't on my list, he fixes those too. And he is very reasonably priced!
Description of Work: Rick has done LOTS of work for me- sanding, painting, plastering, yard work, repairing furniture, cabinets and doors, lawn mowing, faucet repair, and other odd jobs.

Rick is very professional. He communicates clearly, called ahead to let us know that he was caught in traffic, and is simply a nice person to have around the house. He also did excellent work on all our odd jobs. He charges $29/hour. He does such good work that even my cheapskate husband and I are planning on hiring him again!
Description of Work: Multiple odd jobs including: fixing motion detector on outside light, installing new light fixtures, installing shelving, taking down old wall mirror above fireplace.

Rick 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.

Wow! Rick and his son Harrison (age 11) did an unbelievable job. My yard and garden are tidy and beautiful again. I'm not afraid to sit outside! They did an amazing clean-up job, too. They are extremely professional and it was nice to meet them. They will be taking care of my lawn on a regular basis, now. In addition, Rick does Handyman work, so be sure to see his reviews in that category.
Description of Work: Mowing and weeding of lawn and garden that had been neglected most of this long, wet, weedy summer.

Rick was on time, very polite and reasonably priced. I will use him again. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: Attached ground wires, fixed bare wire and checked safety of attic junction box. Replaced switch in kitchen.
He is a great handyman. He is honest, prompt, & very fairly priced. He has become so in demand for his services that I have to book him many months in advance for my annual projects. I have used Rick for 3 years now & honestly don't know what I would do without him. He is local to the North Hills of Pittsburgh, but I do know that he will go to other parts of the city.
Description of Work: Yard clean up, mulching, planting flowers, wash inside & outside windows, clean blinds, install screens, replace light bulbs, paint & touch up work, install Holiday decorations, clean furnace & change filters, clean dryer vents, replace electrical plugs, grass cutting. Rick also will do home improvement projects like room additions & decks.
