It went extremely well. David was on time, professional, very pleasant, knew what he was doing and worked efficiently.
Description of Work: Replaced all four (4) wooden posts on our front porch, which were original to our 1965 home and had rotted at the bottoms.

When I first called David, I left a message, and he called me back promptly. He showed up when he said he would, was efficient and pleasant to communicate with. He wasted no time with getting to the work and finished it in a timely manner. I would DEFINITELY call on him again for any other jobs that I need help with. What impressed me was David's professionalism. Even though it was a small job, he treated it in an important manner. I highly recommend hiring him.
Description of Work: I needed a post put in the ground to connect a rope for a 'no parking' area. It was very cold and the ground was icy and rocky. I was very pleased with David making the hole deep and wide enough despite these conditions. I thought his charge was very reasonable. He also installed a drop box by my front door (for tenants to drop their rent checks in).

David swung by a few weeks ago for a quick estimate. We got a few others but his ended up being the best. He got us on his schedule and showed up in the early afternoon to install the ladder. The job took him and his helper several hours but it was very well done and they cleaned up well.
Description of Work: David installed an attic ladder. He had to expand an old access hatch.

Everything was done professionally and was perfect. Highly recommend him for any type of repairs around a house as he has lots of experience renovating old homes.
Description of Work: Repaired bubble ceilings n four different areas that were damaged by water leaking around sewer vents. He was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Very reasonable prices and did an outstanding job. These were very badly stained areas in the ceilings and I was amazed how they blended in with the color and texture of the ceilings

The plumber suggested first replacing the gasket, or O-ring seal to see if that corrected the problem. He asked that I call back if the drip continued overnight and he would return to replace the entire control valve cartridge. The drip continued, so I call back the following day and he returned with the part and replaced the cartridge in about 10 minutes. The charge for the second visit was only for the shower part; no labor charges were incurred during the second visit.
Description of Work: Shower head had a continuous drip. Handyman sent out a plumber to assess/correct the problem. Replaced the shower single-handle control valve cartridge.

David worked in a quiet and timely manner. He completed the bathroom work in two days. He painted the bathroom and touched up the grout around the tub. He removed a door and installed a door jam. He was very professional and cleaned up after himself. I would use his services again.

We used Chattanooga Handyman to repair the facia on our home before selling our home. He was the first of 4 providers to return my call and the only one to show up that same day to give me a quote for the service. His quote was less than half of another Handyman, and he did it within one day. He was quick to respond, professional, fairly priced and hassle free. I would definitely use his him again!

His pricing did not vary from his written quotation. He was ALWAYS on time and put in 8 hour days until the job was finished. He exceeded our expectations and he cleaned up after himself at the end of the day. We would not hesitate to hire David again for any other jobs we may have and would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: We hired David to do a number of jobs for us during our kitchen and bathroom remodel. In our bathroom, he installed beadboard on the walls, crown moulding and baseboards. The job was flawless. In our kitchen, David painted our existing cabinet frames and painted and installed the new cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Beadboard was put in the space between the top of the cabinet doors and the ceiling. He installed our new countertop and sink and painted the inside of our cabinets and drawers.

This is one busy guy! It took about a month for him to get to our projects but he told me that upfront and he did get here. He installed a new kitchen sink. Some of the screws were backing out of an aluminum roof on a pole barn and rotting the wood under it, so he bought caulking and screwed those back down with the caulking, sealing them. Also, some crows for two years now, found a way to get in the soffit on one structure and they made quite a home there. He cleaned that out washed the side of the building and sealed the hole where the birds were getting in. Unfortunately, when he cleaned the bird poo of the side of the structure, it took off a bit of the paint, but he came out and put fresh paint over those areas - it looks fine now. (After he finished and had loaded up, we noticed one place they had missed in painting. He did the right thing -took the ladder back off the truck, got out the paint brush and did it...kudos to him for doing the right thing.) He also replaced a shingle over one structure. I was pleased with his work.
Description of Work: Had some repair work on a few roofs, soffit cleaned of a large bird nest, and a sink to install.

We met once, discussed what needed to be done and I left the rest up to David. He finished the work in a very timely manner, gave me a report by email, charged my Paypal account and that was it. He did excellent work and his charges were reasonable. Most of all, I feel that I can trust him for all jobs in the future. Priceless!
Description of Work: David did 3 small items at a rental house. He shored up some pavers, installed a padlock hasp and replaced a security light.

He is very professional and reasonable on how much he charges. I highly recommend him and the only wish I have is that there were about 3 of him at once.
Description of Work: I've had several services done through David. About a year ago he assembled furniture for me. Then he did some interior painting for my office. Recently, he has been working on a large project for me with many household repairs including putting in a new door, adding a stair handrail, removing some drywall in preparation for other work, and many other small repairs.

I emailed him and he immediately got back to me. He came, gave us a quote, we accepted. He gave us a schedule, showed up on time, gave us a detail of how he would work and what he would do. And he did it, exactly as he said he would. He completed the job as quickly and the work was perfect. He cleaned up each time he worked which I appreciated very much. He never wasted any time.

As one previous reviewer said, it's hard to find good people. We're so glad to have found David Young, and will definitely be calling on him in the future. He responded promptly, was always pleasant, was upfront about what work would be involved to achieve the results we wanted, took time to explain things and make sure that he was clear about what we wanted to see, gave us a fair estimate and stuck to it, and was meticulous about his work. He also recommended someone for a specialty job who turned out to be equally reliable and courteous. We recommend him enthusiastically.

Amazing: David arrived on time and began work immediately. He brought his own tarps and made sure that the work area was restored to pre-project condition. He was very thorough and double-checked his work. He finished the job in record time. I am very impressed. In addition, he is one of the few contractors that actually takes credit cards. This is important to me because it is a deciding factor in whether I can hire someone or not.
Description of Work: David completed the following: took apart the P-trap under my bathroom sink to retrieve an earring, fixed the lock on my back door, took television down from the kitchen wall, patched and painted the area repaired water stains on kitchen ceiling by prepping and repainting, and installed a new light fixture over my kitchen table.

David was very professional and timely. We had several holes in the roof from a tree that fell during a storm. David came out and did an estimate, we agreed to the work, and he insisted we didn't pay him anything until we were happy with the work. He did a fantastic job. Just after the roof work was done, we had several days of heavy rain. No leaking at all. And he said if we ever had a problem with it to call him back. I will not hesitate to call him again when I need some work done.

David Young returned my initial phone call within a short time and he agreed to come and provide the services I requested even though they were not a major task. We agreed on a time and date. David phoned me before he arrived around the approximate time we agreed. upon. He got to work right away and was very professional and very neat. His price was satisfactory and very affordable. It was great to have these changes done and I know I can reply on a very professional handyman for whatever needs may arise. I highly recommend him.

David is responsive to email and almost everything was arranged via email which is easier for me with my schedule. I met him about a week before he was scheduled to come out to provide him with a sample of my siding for color matching. He was able to match it. I can't tell which pieces of siding are the old ones and which are the new ones. He also managed to reattach a piece of fascia that had blown off and screw down some shutters that were falling off. He left the extra pieces of siding for me in case I need repair done again in the future. My original request to him was to replace two pieces of siding but he actually replaced three and told me that another one was also cracked so he just took care of it (no extra charge). I had asked to have a second story shutter secured and he noticed that another one was also loose and fixed it. I am extremely happy with the work performed and would recommend him to anyone needing some work done. I am looking forward to working with David again in the future.
