Thank you for taking the time to review us, however we were unable to find you in our system and are unsure as to whether we've ever done any work or ever given a quote to you? If we were to, we think you'd find we're one of the most professional companies around.

Description of Work: Repaired loose shingles on roof. I was afraid there would be a large patch or something but you can't tell where the work was done and my new roof still looks new.

Description of Work: They installed an additional electrical outlet in the garage and built /installed shelving.
Description of Work: Trim painting, installed receptacles and small plumbing job. Guy that showed up to do the estimate was very nice and professional. The person that they sent to do the painting was a different story. He didn't put down any dropcloths and dripped paint everywhere. Some places he didn't do any scraping, you could flake the new paint off with your finger. He also threw cigarette butts all over my yard which was great with a one and two year old running around picking them up. I called about the shoddy paint job and the office was very nice and apologetic. Imagine my surprise when they sent the SAME guy back to fix it. He tried to clean the brick but spread the paint everywhere, now I have a big white spot. Also for the electrical job, I had to supply a small piece of romex because it wasn't considered in the bid. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

We do not normally use a drop-cloth when painting outside, but we are taking your feedback into consideration and would like to apologize for any paint dripped in your grass. We are a bit perplexed about the cigarette butts as the craftsman assigned to your project is a nonsmoker and it is our policy to never smoke at a customer's home, even for smokers. The electrical job was not considered in the bid, but we did it at no extra charge to ensure your satisfaction. If there is ever a problem, we guarantee our work for a full year and welcome the chance to make it right. Again, we'd like to apologize for these issues and hope that you'll reconsider allowing us to serve you again in the future.

Yes, we are very busy, but that does not stop us from responding to our customers in a timely manner. Our office services the areas surrounding Bristol, TN & VA and Abingdon, VA and closes at 4:30pm EST. Your estimate request indicated that you were in Texas and could only be reached via phone outside of our office hours. We tried to reach you several times via the email address you provided on the form, but it came back as an invalid address and the email was undeliverable.

Description of Work: On June 16, 2011, I contracted with Honey-Do Services to replace the roof on a home I own at 112 Lexington Ave., Bristol, VA, for the amount of 3748.84. The company requested a 50% deposit for materials, which I foolishly paid with my check # 1644. Although I contacted them many times, and was told I was "on the schedule", no work was ever done on my roof. After speaking with my insurance agent and filing a complaint with the Virginia Better Business Bureau of Roanoke, I finally had to hire and pay another contractor to complete the job. Over the time period while I was trying to get work done for my money, I also incurred several thousand dollars damages to the ceilings and walls in the house, and lost a nearly new electric stove that was shorted out by leaking rainwater. My BBB complaint was answered by someone named Kathy, no last name given, and then I was referred to Brad Fluke who represented himself as a member of "Corporate" for Honey-Do. He plans to do nothing in the way of repaying me for money stolen and losses incurred, blaming it on a "former" owner of the company. If "corporate" wasn't aware of the way their franchisees do business, they are not doing their jobs. Since the company plainly states I am out of luck, I plan to continue to pass on this story to anyone who might consider using this company for anything!

Response from The Honey Do Service, Inc. - Bristol, VA
We received your complaint on September 7th, 2012, and we would like to start off by saying that we apologize for the treatment you had previously endured. That type of services is not our normal standard for conducting business under any circumstances. However, we would like to explain to you a little bit more about how our company works. Each franchise is individually owned and operated. After a franchise has been purchased, The Honey Do Franchising Group supplies continued business consultation and a program that has a proven success rate with a quality home improvement experience. We do not, however, claim any responsibility for services provided by the individually owned franchises. At the time of you contract signing, The Honey Do Service, Inc. branch in Bristol, VA was owned by a Mr. Chris Sloce. Mr. Sloce lost his opportunity to continue to be a The Honey Do Service, Inc. owner due to practices such as the one you have experienced. Since Mr. Sloce has left the company, Corporate has reopened the branch in Bristol, VA and can positively insure quality at the highest level, and business ethics our community would be proud of. We look forward to assisting you and all clients of The Honey Do Service, Inc. in response of this unethical practice. We also look forward to servicing any of your future needs. Sincerely, Thomas B. Fluke Chief Executive Officer Honey Do Franchising Group, Inc.

Description of Work: Called for an estimate on dry wall for living room. The quote was twice more ($1300) what it should have been. Living room is 11 ft. X 30, no fixtures in ceiling, no old celing to take down. Materials would have been $200 or $250 at most. I have heard from others that got quotes for various jobs, that they were very expensive. Didn't believe it until now. I have used them in the past for various jobs. Never a problem with price or quality. As a result of this I will not bother to waste my time with this company. Maybe since they have franchised into other cities, they have raised their prices. Who knows?
