The job went well. I called Paul on Wednesday, we met on Saturday morning to look over the job and take measurements on the glass, then Paul came back on Monday morning to do the work. Paul was very courteous, professional, and prompt. Paul did the work efficiently and was careful to put out tarps to contain the mess, and clean up after the job was completed.
Description of Work: Paul repaired two broken windows. The windows are wood-frame double sash, so this required removing old broken glass from frame, remove old putty, and then installing new glass putty. The windows needed to be removed from the tracks to do the repairs, requiring removal of some moldings, and disconnecting sash ropes and weights.

Overall, Paul is excellent. He responds quickly (to either phone calls or e-mail), does very good work, acts professionally, cleans up after his work. He also has followed up without charge on two occasions that his original work needed some additional tweaking. I haven't done enough comparison shopping to comment on how his price compares with other handymen, but his rate is well worth it for someone lacking either the time or skills to DIY. Also, he doesn't mark up materials that he gets for you - very nice!
Description of Work: Miscellaneous jobs over the last 3 years - 4 or 5 different calls. Included: putting in hardware for wall hangings and curtains, caulking, fixing gates, and garage gutters. Also changing a bathroom fan.

Throughout the whole process, Paul was always remarkably responsive, courteous and reliable. My first message was replied to within minutes, literally. He was going on vacation at the time and promised to call me on Sunday evening (9 days later) after he returned. Well, that Sunday evening, he called. We agreed to meet the following Saturday for him to look at what we needed done. Again, he called the night before as promised and was here on Saturday right on-time. He got us into his busy schedule for this past Friday (8/15) at 8 AM and was here unloading tools and supplies at 7:55 - on-time: a huge plus in my book. He knew exactly what needed to be done, and in fact, my wife and I had some appointments we had to go to, and we left Paul alone at our home for some time: this is how confident we were in him. The very few times I have left someone alone at my house, they have all been people I have worked with many times. I had just met Paul, yet I felt perfectly comfortable with this. He consistently came across as a serious professional who legitimately cares about his customers. After all was done, he showed me all his work and answered all my questions. After he left, I noticed a few spots with minor things to address. I called him, and he was here within 5 minutes and touched those spots up. For better or worse, I am very particular and notice almost every little thing. I appreciate that Paul made an effort to do his work to my standards and would not hesitate to hire him again.
Description of Work: Repair of cracked grout in perimeter of shower stall floor, baseboard around perimeter of bathrooms, joint between bathtub and tiled wall and joint between hot tub and tile base. Given location of cracks, repairs were done with silicone instead of grout.

He did a good, clean job. The steps were not peeling, they were just very dirty. We have a dog but they got along just fine, except the dog had to see what was going on. He is a wonderful worker and very quick.
Description of Work: He came out and repaired some screens that had been torn. Also he painted the steps.

deck cleaning, handyman service

I sent an email to Paul and to another vendor explaining what I needed done and asking them to respond if they were interested. Paul replied immediately and said he would call to set up an appointment for the following Saturday, which he did. He explained his pricing structure and thought the job would take 7-9 hours and that he would call to make an appointment for about two weeks away. He made the appointment, came at the time he said he would, which was early afternoon, and worked for three hours nonstop. The next morning, he returned to seal the deck which took an hour. Four hours total, which was much less than estimated. The work was completely satisfactory.
Description of Work: There were a number of little things, such as hanging pictures, replacing cabinet hinges, repairing and sealing the deck.

He advised us after looking at the situation that it was too big of a job for him but he recommended a tiler to do the work. He also very generously gave us the names of other related contractors - countertop person, tiling stores, and even an alternate method of painting the ceramic walls, and advice on a shower door. He even told us who to stay away from! He was extremely courteous and even followed up with a phone call the next day to ask if we had more questions and to see if he could help with anything else. All of his recommendations were on Angie's List as well so that added a reassurance for us. We will probably be using two of the vendors he steered us to. I even e-mailed him several weeks later about a shower door question and he was more than happy to offer us his advice. His reply came extremely quickly. When we get the right job I hope that we will be able to take advantage of his services. We would not hesitate to hire him.
Description of Work: Paul came on time for an estimate to tile our master bathroom - in particular our shower stall.

My wife called Paul on Sunday January 13th to explain what we were looking to have done. He said this was something he could do, gave my wife a quote which was acceptable and said he could be out on Thursday January 17th. He came out on the 17th as promised and did all the work described above. He was very professional in what he did and how he acted, including showing which type of light bulbs would be best for the new dining room light. Paul knew that we found him through Angie's List and says he's very proud of the ratings he receives from people on it.
Description of Work: Install new overhead light in dining room, replace two bathroom faucets, install toilet paper dispenser and towel rack holders in bathroom.

From start to finish, Paul was very professional and had a can-do, will-do attitude about the work. I plan to hire Paul again for a future project.
Description of Work: Paul cleared out and treated cracked grout in my master shower. He also caulked the whole area along with other areas in the bath where there were stress cracks. Additionally, Paul took care of some small jobs that I needed, fastening my garage door motion sensor to masonry, as well as hanging a mailbox.

Paul is great. He took the time to give me a thorough estimate and then promptly scheduled me when I was available. I needed to reschedule and he was able to come back in two weeks. He did a thorough job and is incredibly helpful not only doing the work but providing advice on where to put things. (It's nice to have things hanging on the wall that were purchased months ago!) I highly recommend Paul to others.
Description of Work: Paul caulked our tub, touched up a crack in the tile and installed a tool holder, two bike racks, 3 peg boards, a wire shelf, and a broom holder.

I was looking for someone to do this repair work (described above) and called "Paul On Call". Paul was easily accessible by phone and e-mail. He came to the house and gave an estimate including cost, his availability and how long it might take to complete the job. When I decided to hire Paul I contacted him and we set up an approximate start date. Paul started the job within our time-table, finished the job well ahead of schedule and under the original estimate. I was more than satisfied with the work and would not hesitate to hire him again.
Description of Work: About 10 floor-to-ceiling screens as well as screens for an entry door were replaced in an existing wood framed screened-in porch. The wooden moldings that held the screens in place were also replaced.

I was initially concerned about Paul when I read about him on AL, because his prices seemed higher than most others. But I called him and was THRILLED with his work. He knew I had a budget and he worked well under it. He spent time 'off the clock' educating me about a ton of stuff (as a 1st time home owner, I was pretty ignorant of stuff). So I got the work done, I got an education, and he even bought me a ladder at cost. All supplies are at cost, and he is very upfront about telling you what he can and can't do; what is more cost-effective to have someone else do (if appropriate). He was well worth every penny! I recommended him highly to a friend who also had a great experience with him! I highly recommend him! He is EXTREMELY professional and does a great job. He is also very productive with his time.
Description of Work: I bought a condo that needed a lot of little things that I couldn't do; hanging curtain rods (4, including 1 under a permanent wooden valance), hanging bathroom cabinet, installing shelving above stackable washer/dryer, spackling wall holes, changing old plastered-over shower curtain rod, shaving off bottom inch from a huge new heavy wood door, weather-proofing front door; punching speaker wire through wall from LR to bedroom; finding a way to hang ironing board hanger on a door that couldn't support it; and other handyman/home repair items. Paul did all the above and more.

I contacted Paul to take care of various general repair jobs in our townhouse. He called back promptly and arranged to come and give us an estimate within a few days. He was very knowledgeable and gave us some suggestions on cost effective solutions to updating bathrooms and kitchen. He was back within a week to do the work which took approximately 3 hours. His research indicated that replacement of bath shower doors and adding additional storage unit to bath both would have to be a custom job do to size issues and not cost effective for resale of condo. He even talked me out of changing old tile! Very professional and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend him!
