I am happy with the work Tim did. He returns phone calls and arrives on time. Tim is personable and easy to talk to. He is tenacious and will work on a problem until it is solved. His hourly rate is on the Angie's List listing and is very reasonable. I will be using him again in the future.

I called Tim based on his good reviews on Angie's List. He called me right back, told me he could help and arrived on time 2 days later to do the work. Tim is personable and professional. No project ever goes according to script, and we had a few uncooperative doors that Tim had to spend extra time on. He handled the issues and did a great job. I'm happy to have found someone professional, honest, efficient and responsive to call on for the jobs around the house that I can't do myself (or that I did myself and need fixed). Thanks, Tim.

Mr. Shaw is unresponsive. I have called several times this week and left messages every time asking him if he would be able to give me an estimate on installing a laundry tub in my laundry room. After almost a week of trying to reach him, and no response from him what-so-ever, I have given up and I will be calling a licensed plumber. I thought it would have been more professional of him to take at least 5 minutes out of one of his days to at least call me to tell me that he is busy and he will discuss in more detail at his first opportunity. However, since I did not hear from him at all, he apparently thinks I am not worth his time. I had left him 3 messages over 4 days, each time being pleasant even though I was getting kind of anxious because I need this work completed within the next week or two. Regardless of how positive reviews of him are, I do not have the time to wait on someone so unreliable. I doubt I will be attempting to contact him again.

Response from Tim Shaw Maintenance Inc
This gentleman contacted me about installing a laundry sink and said he would get back to me when he had the sink. Subsequent to this original contact my mother who is in the country in Missouri had to be moved to hospice care. He apparently tried to call me when I was in Missouri and when I got home I checked my email and saw that I received an Angies List review. When I checked the review above I called his number and got his voicemail. I explained to him on the message I left that I was out of town on emergency family business. He never returned my call and did not retract his review. Hence I feel I have to respond.

Tim was great. First, he was very responsive, called me back the same day I contacted him, and showed up on time. We had a leak in our shower and Tim diagnosed the problem quickly. It will take multiple trips to fix the issue (leak needs to dry, re-patch drywall etc.) and I am definitely glad I called Tim to fix it. He is a really nice guy and does the work right. Tim could have easily ripped out our entire closet wall to look for leaks behind the shower as other contractors would have to charge more, but he wanted to prevent that if possible so that I would not have to pay to patch the whole wall. He was able to find out the issue (crack in the caulk), so he saved us a bunch of money and hassle. Highly recommended!

I called Tim and left a message on his voicemail. Within one hour he returned mix call and we discussed the work. Due to my crazy schedule he came on a Saturday and was on time. I showed him the space where the bracket needed to go and he spent a good bit of time with the installation manual to make sure he had the details right. He was very careful in finding the joist and marked a few spots that I could choose from. He did a great job with the install and made sure with the leveling and explained it to me along the way. He offered to come back if there were any questions or problems. I had some additional work to show Tim such as tile work and replacing a shower and instead of jumping on the work he actually advised me of where I could get it done at a better price. Additionally he took the time to help me prioritize my 'to doand quot; list with what needed attention right away and what could wait. I highly recommend Tim and will use him again in the future.
Description of Work: I needed a bracket/brace installed on a joist. It had to be specifically placed on the ceiling and away from ceiling fan and other obstructions. The attachment to the bracket had to be set level and be able to bear weight of over 100 pounds. Although the job may have been small by many standards it was technically very specific and detailed as injury could result if not properly installed.

Excellent. Everything was fixed. He is both professional and nice and clean.
Description of Work: Tim is the absolute best. He has done lots of little things for me around the house including fixing all the things that other handymen had done a poor job on. He is FANTASTIC! Absolutely the best. He has come about a half dozen times for me now and I am thrilled to have found him. I could not recommend him more!

It was great. He arrived on time, did the work I hired him to do. There were no problems. When he was finished, he cleaned up, I paid him and he left. Great Handyman!!!
Description of Work: Tim arrived on schedule. He was very professional and personable. He installed a ceiling fan and light kit in a bedroom. He was very neat and cleaned up the area. We discussed other services that he might perform for me. He charged a fair price and I was satisfied with his work performance and will definitely use him again.

Everything went smoothly. No problems whatsoever. I was pleased that Tim returned my initial phone call promptly, and followed up with subsequent emails wherein he looked at pictures of the damage to my condo. He gave me an estimate on the spot, and he did not charge more than he said. Actually, it ended up being less!
Description of Work: Tim helped me fix damage to my door frames from my cats scratching them. He also helped me repair baseboards that had been damaged by pet urine, and also pulled up some carpet and padding for me - also urine damage from my cats. He even made suggestions on what I could do with the area on my carpet to get rid of smell, etc! He is punctual, professional, and very affordable. I would definitely recommend Tim!

I used Tim Shaw about 3 weeks ago. He did a suburb job. The price included his labor and materials. I thought the pricing was well worth it. I gave him an additional $5! I absolutely will use him again.

This is the third time Tim has done work for us and we have ALWAYS been very pleased with our experience ijncluding all categories listed above.

Response from Tim Shaw Maintenance Inc
I may allow the member the benefit of the doubt on his point of esoteric metricizes like professionalism but price and punctuality grades are indisputably inaccurate. I was at his house every visit from 10 to 15 min. early. The prices I charge are clearly listed in on my Angie's list page. I reduced my prices considerably due to the member's insistence that every repair cost so much. Thanks, Tim

I always find Tim to be very professional but friendly. He is very punctual and excellent at returning emails and phone calls. His prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing home repairs.
Description of Work: Tim has done work for me on three different occasions including one he's currently working on (removing wallpaper from a half bath, painting and replacing lighting, faucet, etc.). Previously he repaired a door, doorbell, and replaced screens on my porch. Also, he created a barrier on my second floor half wall (open to the first floor) so that my cat wouldn't fall off. I have already asked Tim to return in a few weeks to put new faucet sets in two additional baths and to replace a ceiling on my porch.

He is very meticulous, and cleans up very well after himself. I highly recommend him. He has a great reputation in this area. No matter what size the job, I know we can always call Tim and he will help us.
Description of Work: Shortly after we purchased a home, he did a lot of major renovation. He did a kitchen remodel which included tile floors, he painted the interior, and installed wood floors in other areas of the home. We started using him in 2004, and have hired him several times since.

Description of Work: Tim is an exceptional handyman and painter. He painted our entrance from our house into our garage and it looks fabulous. He is very neat and clean and shows up on time. In addition he did some carpentry work for us which was excellent. I cannot recommend him more highly. His prices are very fair and he is very honest and forthcoming. We plan on using him whenever we need work done in our home.

We have found him to be exceedingly honest, capable, and meticulous in his work and the clean condition of the condo when he finished. We would hire him for any job, large or small, that we need in the future.
Description of Work: We have employed Tim Shaw for several renovation projects on our condo on Isle of Palms. He had both performed the work and supervised others. His jobs have included floor tile throughout our unit (including extensive repair of sub-floor), electrical work including ceiling light installations, plumbing and bathroom re-do, installation of new kitchen appliances, and cabinet repair, removal of "popcorn" ceiling and painting of the entire unit.

Once we decided to use Tim after he gave us a quote, he came back another day to measure the door/rough opening for us so we would know what size to order the new back door. He was available via phone and email when questions came up about what size to order. Once the new door came in, he did a great job installing the new one and swapping the door to the garage out. I would definitely use him again in the future for other home repairs. His price was very reasonable for the amount of time he spent on the job. Very nice guy and always on time.

TIM SHAW - I feel very strongly that a contractor who uses their own name as their business name takes pride in their work and stands behind the work they do. Tim Shaw is just that kind of contractor! Above all I wanted to feel that I could trust the person doing work in my home and I felt 100% confident in Tim's integrity, honesty and abilities. After carefully going through the painting and repairs I wanted to have done, Tim helped me decide on the best color combinations to achieve the and quot;lookand quot; I was trying to accomplish. Tim and Jimmy were very efficient at making drywall repairs and and I was impressed at how careful they were when moving my furniture and cleaning up at the end of each day. Their skill and speed at cutting in the edges I know saved me money and the end result was very neat and professional. I highly recommend TIM SHAW for doing quality work at a very fair price.
Description of Work: TIM SHAW responded to my call to get an estimate to do some drywall repairs and interior painting by showing up when he said he would and on time!! This put him at the top of my list - immediately! We looked at the areas I thought needed to be repaired and then at the rooms and open staircase that I wanted to have painted. Tim made several good suggestions about the transition areas with regard to where colors would stop and start. I wanted to bring the look of my home into the 21st. century and Tim suggested that we remove the popcorn texture from the ceiling and get away from that 70's look. I agreed and he put that option into the estimate. So, the work that needed to be done consisted of drywall repairs, popcorn texture removal/repair and painting walls and ceilings with some bold color changes. The open staircase area I thought would be quite a challenge, but Tim and Jimmy managed that with ease. The time it took to accomplish all that I wanted down was remarkably short. Tim was very organized and managed to exceed my expectations by creating a wonderful new look in my home. THANKS TIM !!!

He is the only one I have used and I did like him. He came when he was supposed to come. He did a good job. He was very professional so I did like him. He did come when he said he was going to come. He was here over an hour fixing things. Once I showed him what I needed him to do, he just took care of it. He was very professional. I would definitely recommend him. Everything is holding up well. There were no complications.
Description of Work: Tim Shaw Maintenance came out and rehung some hand towels, rewired two ceiling fans that had light kits on them so that one of the switches turned on the light and the other turned on the fan, and re-glued and fixed the handheld shower that fell off. It was all minor stuff.
