Everything went very well,no chit chat,just non stop work. I was amazed at how fast they worked,at first I was a little worried about the per hour charge but not after I saw how fast they worked. Very pleased and looking forward to having them back next week to finish the rest of my chores.
Description of Work: John and his helper arrived on time and after a brief orientation went right to work. They swapped 2 fans from room to room, took a new fan from the box assembled it and hung it in another room took the old broken fan down and packed it in the box to return it to the manufacturer. Replaced a doorbell,fixed the smoke detector and a vacuum cleaner. They tried to install a new light fixture in a bathroom but I needed to get another part to complete it. they took a gas grill out of the box and put it together. They will be back to do more but first I need to get supplies (they will go by and pick them up for me,and return nest week.

He was my first choice, but he wasn't able to come out for several days. I called another plumber who came right away and fixed it, but within an hour the problem was worse. They weren't able to come back for a few days to look at it again. John Walking called me and said he just happened to be in the neighborhood and wanted to know how my problem was. He came by and had it fixed within an hour then said "what's next on your list?" He is really good and knows his business. He has an associate who comes along with him and they will do different projects and only charge for one hour of work. I plan to hire him again to paint a shed in my back yard.
Description of Work: John Walking was just here last week for a plumbing issue with my bathroom sink.

Overall, I would use Mr. Walking again. He is very knowledgeable and will not waste your time or money!
Description of Work: John replaced a dryer t and pipe that was sloppily installed by the builder, Hatcher Construction.It involved running a new vent conduit from the dryer to an outside wall. Very neat job done in a brief period of time. He left no mess and the ductwork is working perfectly

Other home improvement stores would not even come out the first time to see what was needed. Mr. Walking came out along with his assistant who helped clean the blades of my livingroom ceiling fan. I appreciated their service and will use them again!
Description of Work: Had an assistant with him that he allowed to clean my ceiling fan while he checked out my non-working bathroom fan. The above cost also included the cost of a new bathroom fan.

Poor workmanship, excessive cost. I get angry every time I use that bathroom, looking at the shoddy work. Cost did not include materials.
Description of Work: Remodeled bath, after I had gutted it to floor joists and studs.

Response from JOHN'S SHOP
I DO KNOW THIS GUY... WENT BACK THRU MY RECORDS... WORK DONE IN 10-04. TOTAL WAS 10,299.00 AND THIS WAS LABOR AND MATERIAL THAT I BOUGHT. THIS WAS WITH MINIMUM OF THREE PEOPLE WORKING AND ONE DAY WITH FOUR PEOPLE. WHEN WE COMPLETED THE JOB HE WAS TICKLED PINK BECAUSE WE DID IT IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS INSTEAD OF 5 WEEKS ANOTHER COMPANY DID ON THE OTHER BATH. HE WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH THEM. I'M WONDERING IF HE GOT US MIXED UP ON WHO DID WHAT.

He had to do extra work because he had to run wires down from the attic and he was able to do this with no problems. We have hired him in the past to do other odd, various jobs and we are always pleased with his work. I don't remember the exact price that he charged us, but it was definitely reasonable.
Description of Work: He installed a new light fixture over our dining room table.

We ordered the lamp from a catalog because we liked its unique looks and did not realize that installation would not be straightforward. I have installed many ceiling fixtures over the years, and expected this one to be a simple replacement job: disconnect the old light and install the new one. But the lamp came with a formidable safety cable, and the instructions made it very clear that the weight of the fixture required using it. I climbed into the attic and discovered right away that safe installation would require some additional carpentry, which I did not want to undertake. We called John Walkling, who had done good work at a reasonable price for us before, and he arrived on time and did the work. We were very pleased.
Description of Work: He installed a large, heavy dining room ceiling lamp which required attaching a special safety cable in the attic above. He did the hot, dirty job quickly and properly, and we are confident the thing won't fall on our heads.
