I called and left multiple voicemails asking for a callback to schedule an estimate, I have a water leak with some minor water damage, and I never even got a call back. Very disappointing.

Pleasant, friendly and honest. He also pointed out other areas that I should show the contractor I will end up hiring and told me questions I should ask. I certainly appreciate any education about my home. I will be calling him in the future for other jobs around our house.
Description of Work: Doug and his partner came by the house to look at the job I needed done. Unfortunately they do not have the equipment necessary for my repair (scaffolding) and the area could not be accessed by ladder.

We were very pleased with their work. They arrived when they said they would and were very professional. They do great quality work at a fair price. We have not had the best luck finding reliable, honest and knowledgeable professionals since we moved here so we were very happy to find Happy Home Repairs as they met or exceeded our expectations. Doug is very busy (because he can be trusted to do the job right) so be prepared to wait but his work is worth the wait!
Description of Work: Doug replaced our walk-out basement door as well as the thresholds and weather stripping around 4 other doors. He also repaired the drywall from a water leak.

We were in the process of selling our house and were required by buyer's to do repair to soffit and build a handrail around porch. Doug was quick in response to come out to give quote. They arrived on time and did all the work in the He said they would. I would use them again if we are ever back in the Chattanooga area.

It went great. Doug's work is very well done and detail oriented. I can't believe how good everything looks. He cleaned up some of my painting mistakes that I made and caught things that I missed from things that had been done in the past.Batt

The work was done in response to a urgent need and by luck, was able to be done on the same day. Doug called late in day and after explanation of the situation, was in a position to come over and do the repairs at the end of the day. Work was done well and in a very professional manner. This group can be only described a truly outstanding and I would recommend them for all types of plumbing work, big and small. The group took total interest in doing this job even though small in nature by as the homeowner, it was a life saver in many ways. I will return to them for any other plumbing needs or services they would provide. Cost: Extremely Fair along with Quality Work. Billing provided with all details of work performed and associated cost. As one would say, Bravo to Happy Home Repairs.

He was outstanding in workmanship and price. I thought I was going to have to replace most of my exterior windows but he did only the necessary work and the window frames look like new again. He paid attention to detail in his painting of the window frames. He gave me options to replace the rotten portion of the window frames with better materials at a lower cost than the original. He completed the work on time and gave me a new customer discount as he stated in his initial visit. I was very happy with this contractor.

Very professional and on time. Built a beautiful porch. Took the time for added touches. Cleaned up everything. Also tore away back steps to laundry room and built new ones with a railing. Installed two windows and framed out beautifully. I have used them before and knew what type of work they did. Told he and his son what I wanted done and it was completed with great craftsmanship. Would highly recommend him.

It is difficult to find someone in the Chattanooga area to do small jobs like this. Happy Home Repairs is really a find for us as we have an old house and it is in constant need of something or other. The quality of the work and finishes is high. I feel like Doug is very detailed in both his quoting and execution. He was good about conserving and reusing materials as possible. They left the site clean and tidy. We are happy with the work and will hire Happy Home Repairs again.
Description of Work: Happy Home Repairs installed an inside attic access, replaced a rotted bathroom window, repaired siding, installed gable vents in our attic and hooked up an attic fan to electricity.

I called and requested estimate on needed work. Doug arrived punctually and worked up estimate and sent it to my email exactly when he said he would. We had asked for several different items to be estimated. I emailed him as to the work we wanted him to do first and he scheduled an approx. wait time of 3 weeks as they were very busy.....He called a couple of days before that estimated time and told us exactly when they would be here......Doug and his son arrived on time, were very professional, and they cleaned up behind themselves. We were impressed with the quality of work, the price seemed fair, and they did the job exactly when he said he would......We have found those traits to be so lacking in today's world......We will definitely use Happy Home Repairs again and already have estimate for more work to be done.....

The first time he came he installed the light that I purchased but the light didn't work. I returned the light from where I purchased it and got a new light. The gentlemen came out the next day and installed the new light. Everything turned out very well. I was very pleased with their services and would hire them again in the future.

The job was not very satisfactory and they did not seem to know what they were doing. They were not supporting the roof appropriately so I had to get a different company to come in and fix what they promised to do actually. Persons should avoid this company when doing major remodeling.

Response from Happy Home Repairs
We completed this job in August of 2013 to the satisfaction of the customer. When I looked at this job I made what I believed to be the correct procedure for removing a wall and supporting the ceiling joist in the attic. I explained what we would do and actually did more then we had planned on without any additional cost to the customer. When we completed the work he inspected the work and seemed to be pleased with the final results. He paid us in full and I told him if there was any problems to contact us and we would come back out to correct any problem. He never contacted us once in the last 9 months to tell us he was dissatisfied. This is the first I have heard he was not satisfied. We always attempt to do the work correctly but on occasion we do have to go back to make a correction, when this happens there is usually no additional cost. If he had contacted us and we couldn't correct the problem to his satisfaction we would have refunded the labor portion of the project.

Doug was very responsive to my request to come out and look at the job. He also went out of his way to make a suggestion for a model that would fit the tight space we have. It took a few weeks for him to come back out and do the job but I guess that is because he is in demand for his good service! The job was completed to our satisfaction and I was very happy when Doug offered to take back the damaged dishwasher to Lowes for me and have it swapped out same day so we could get the job finished. We have had bad experiences with other handymen in the past so were happy to find a quality handyman.
Description of Work: We needed an old dishwasher removed and new one installed. It is an old kitchen so was more complicated than a regular installation. They took the old one out, did some re-wiring for the new dishwasher, altered the space so it would fit and installed new dishwasher. When the new dishwasher was unpacked it was damaged so they even took it back to Lowes for me same day and had it swapped out.

I was very pleased with Happy Home Repairs. Doug was responsive to my emails about scheduling the work. He showed up on time. He finished the job in a very reasonable amount of time. He charged me less Han what Inaas expecting to pay for the job, which is always nice. He was very professional and explained to me what was wrong with the door and how he fixed it. He was very knowledgeable and I will trust home again with any work around our house that he can do.

Response from Happy Home Repairs
I'm sorry you had a bad experience in contacting us. I was out of town on a family emergency from the 4th to the 12th. With out a phone number I can't check me caller ID, I have checked my phone messages and don't find a message. This is why I prefer email messages with name, phone number, address and a brief description of the work you are requesting. We do try to respond to all calls and at least leave a message if we don't receive an answer in person. There are times when the voice message is garbled, or the return phone number is different then the caller ID number. In these cases we aren't able to respond. Thanks for the feedback.

Doug responded promptly to our request for quotation his questions and comments made it obvious to me that I was dealing with a real carpenter something that is hard to find around here. Here looked at the job and responded one week later with a very well done proposal. After review I accepted the proposal and asked Doug to put me in his schedule. Doug and his Son showed up as scheduled after tearing the bay window down they discovered other problems associated with its original build over 20 years ago. To make a long story short Doug rebuilt the bay window in a very professional manner with wonderful workmanship nor normally seen in the south. The door replacement was performed equally well. We are very satisfied and will definitely use Doug and his son in the future.

The job was done professionally, and when extra rotted wood was found under the exterior he fixed it economically and got to the bottom of the cause for the wood rot. Do yourself a favor and hire Happy home repairs you won't be sorry.
