Response from OCEAN STATE PROPERTY SERVICES
Look at the rest of my reviews to see that i do a lot of quality work and i am on time and don't leave till i'm done. I had gotten very sick at that time and had completely forgot that we had an appointment about a month in advance. Because i got sick i didn't look at my appointment book and that was the last thing i was thinking of with the flue. I wish she had called me to see what was going on. Some people like to point fingers. And it hurts my business that i work very hard to keep up good standards.

Description of Work: George Vieder arrived when he said he would and provided options and advice on a bathroom in my cellar. He had good ideas. In the end, he advised on an option that would only require a plumber and advised I not use him (George) as GC in order to save his fee. Now that's honesty & professionalism!

I first contacted George after flooding to get an estimate on replacing my basement floor. He came out within an hour and got back to me with an estimate. I decided to hold off on getting the floor replaced, but gave him a list of other things I needed done. He took time to look at every one and gave me an estimate. When I contacted him to come out, he said he was booked for 2 months but because it was hot and I needed the a/c installed right away, he took time on the weekend to help me out and charged me a really reasonable price. He has been fantastic, very professional and helpful, going above and beyond. I will definitely contact him for other handyman/home improvement needs and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: George installed a window unit a/c in a crank out window, which was fairly difficult to do as the window had to be taken out and a piece of wood screwed into the window to hold the a/c in place. Once in the window, the a/c didn't work so he took it out, took it apart and got it working again. And while doing that, he noticed that another window had come loose from the hinge. He fixed that one too. He also repaired an outdoor sprinkler system that had cracked over the winter. He looked at several other projects I needed done and while he didn't have time to get to them, he gave me alternate suggestions for what to do.

Fantastic. George is terrific- competent, professional, and even though it was a small job, he went above and beyond to do an excellent job... he even returned the following week to help me hang the curtains on the curtain rod he put up because I had not ordered enough curtain rings, so we couldn't hang them the day he was over... He also recommended a cabinet maker to help us with a built-in project we were looking to do- we used his recommendation and were very happy with that person's work too. I highly recommend George and Ocean State Property Services...
Description of Work: I contacted George because I had several smaller projects around our home- wasn't sure if he would be interested because I think he usually does larger projects, but he was more than happy to help us... he installed towel racks, replaced knobs on kitchen cabinets, hung curtain rods and curtains, and hung a number of mirrors, pictures, clocks, etc around our home. It took him approximately 4 hours or so to complete everything on our list.

George was professional, competent and fair. He provided an estimate following an initial inspection. His team was well organized, orchestrated a total job completion and left the area spotless. The team was very careful with items and protected the areas of the house that required traffic to/from the basement. I totally commend their work and recommend Ocean State Property Services!
Description of Work: George Veader and his team cleaned and removed my finished basement floor, conducted mold mitigation cleaning, removed carpeting and some affected sheet rock, all of which was damaged by the RI flooding. The team moved furniture and other items during this job.

He is a true professional.

We had to get estimates and put in a claim to our homeowner's insurance company regarding a water stain/damage to the ceiling in the kitchen. OSPS was very flexible, as I didn't have to take time out of work to be at home to have the work done. The owner of OSPS was onsite at least 4 or 5 times to check the progress and call periodically while the work was being done to check the status. It took 3 days to replace our kitchen ceiling and bathroom ceiling and everything was cleaned up well and all debris removed properly.
Description of Work: We had a water-damaged area on the ceiling of the kitchen. This was a result of an old pipe that had to be repaired under the bathtub in the bathroom. OSPS detailed the plan of action as to who to contact first (plumber, etc.) and advised us correctly as to how the project of repairing the ceiling where the water stain was to be carried out. This included contacting our homeowner's insurer as OSPS gave us an accurate estimate. OSPS dicussed the situation with our homeowner insurer after we submitted our claim which put us at ease. OSPS's owner was onsite four times to describe everything in detail. The company showed up on time and was in contact throughout the project's process as it was completed. OSPS estimated and stuck to that estimate about how long it would take, as they cleaned up everything when they were done. They also discussed all our options and went from point A to point B to point C always keeping us informed. They made great suggestions, were not pushy, and did an excellent job on our kitchen ceiling and walls. They completed an excellent job and we are happy with it.

George's estimate was the lowest of all three that we got, and we wondered whether his quality would suffer as a result-- but he got such good reviews on Angie's list that we decided to take a chance, and are very glad that we did. George did a lot of the work himself (carpentry, painting, tiling) with his crew of up to 6 men whom he supervised very closely, and he also sub-contracted jobs that required special expertise (floor refinishing, wallpapering, complex electrical, etc.) We started with a kitchen remodeling job, but because our kitchen has an open floor plan flowing into the dining room and living room, we had to refinish the flooring in much of the house. An additional complication was that there was a slant in our kitchen floor. Various contractors had given us different suggestions regarding how to handle this, with the consensus being that the only way to tell what was causing the problem was to tear down to the sub-flooring, which could be quite labor-intensive and not necessary. They also said that their estimate could change if the job required extensive floor repair. So we were impressed and appreciative that George tore down to the sub-floor, repaired some structural damage in the beams below the floor, gave us a level floor, and took it all in stride within his original estimate. As the work progressed, we decided to change some additional items beyond those in the original contract (switch from electric to gas stove, add ceiling fans, etc.), and paint the rest of the interior of the house. George's price for these was also reasonable, so we didn't bother getting additional estimates. We also asked George to take a look at an area in the roof where we thought squirrels were entering. We thought this would be a small repair, but as he opened it up we could see that a major section of the roof had rotted out due to extensive animal and rain damage! This turned out to be a major job, involving our homeowners insurance, which George took in stride, and again at a reasonable cost. In the end, we have remodeled much of the interior of our house and we have a new section of roof, and although we spent more than we had originally intended, we are very pleased with the work and feel it was well worth it. We feel like we live in a brand new house!
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen cabinets, kitchen/dining room flooring, tile backsplash, installed dishwasher, sink, "instant hot", ceiling fans, rewired outlets and light fixtures all over house, removed wallpaper, painted entire inside of house (including ceilings), wallpapered, added chair-rail and crown moldings, sanded and refinished wood flooring in rest of house, replaced bathroom medicine cabinet and lighting, replaced storm door, repaired closet doors, repaired roof leak due to squirrel infestation...and more.

George and his team were excellent. George has an unprecedented attention to detail and takes pride in his work. He called me after the project was done to find out what we thought of the final product. The team cleaned up at the end of every day so that it didn't even appear that major work was being done in the kitchen. We enjoyed George's laid back but meticulous style. Very easy to work with.
Description of Work: Kitchen cabinet install in a challenging kitchen...house built in 1930s so it has somewhat uneven floor, walls, ceiling. Installed temporary countertop, sink, and faucet so we had something while waiting for our countertop install. Installed dishwasher.

Very professional. If planning on moving or updating, George can stear you in the right direction. He knows what to recommend in order to bring out the best in your home. Quick response and good follow-up. Did not actually have him perform any services, but would hazzard a guess he would do a good job.

The day they arrived to start the project I had to leave on an emergency and was gone during the whole project. Gave them the keys and they would call if any changes needed to be made. When I returned it was completely done to perfection. Trustworthy, great attention to detail, completed project in record time, very fair pricing for quality work.

Overall the work was performed at a much higher level than expected. From start to finish his work is unparalleled. I would not hesitate to hire George for any of the interior or exterior work on my house. From electrical to plumbing to carpentry to painting, George can get the work done on time and on budget. He is the real deal.
Description of Work: I am writing this review in praise of George P. Veader of Ocean Space Property Services. The first job that George did for me was install a new roof on my house. His work was timely and solid. I can also state that his work is of the highest quality, as there have been no leaks or problems whatsoever for ten years now. George completed the work on time and on budget as promised. The next job did for me was remodel my kitchen. George spent numerous hours with me helping me design the layout of the kitchen. He also helped with material and appliance selection. This was a high end kitchen costing nearly $30,000. Again, George came in on time and on budget. I would highly recommend him. The next job George did for me was refinish my hardwood floors. My floors were in bad shape after years of abuse by my dogs. The work often required George to hand scrape certain sections of the floors in order to achieve a perfect result. I am a real estate agent in the Rhode Island area and have on numerous occasions recommended George to my clients. I have only received praise from my clients concerning the quality of George's work.
