Description of Work: $500 for basically grouting a portion of my counter top and installing a towel rack. The guy came late, looked over the list of items I had for him to do in 4 hours, and proceeded to tell me how he could not do most of them and how it would cost soooo much more money (never mind that I've since had all the items fixed for around the same price I ultimately paid ABC). So in four hours he grouted some of my counter top and fixed a loose tile there, did a bit of sealant and weather stripping around a door, and installed a towel rack. $500? What a joke, ABC.

Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to speak with one of our Managers when he phoned about your posting here. We really do appreciate constructive feedback on how our specialists do their job and our customers’ perspective on the value delivered. We regret that our specialist was unable to complete all of the items on your list given the time constraints. He has been with us a long time and has always worked hard and efficiently, but based on your comments, we did review each of the items he was able to complete for you to determine how we could improve our service in the future. Quite honestly, it is difficult at times to strike the right balance between speed and quality when doing Handyman work and we do tell our specialists to always err on the side of quality. Most of the time, we’re able to deliver a great value for customers. When we fall short, we do our best to learn how we can get better. Thank you again for your feedback. We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced, and wish you the best of luck in completing the sale of your home.

Description of Work: Very poor communication. I called to get an estimate on weekly lawn service for two separate rental properties. I was told that they'd schedule someone to meet me at each property to give me an estimate. I explained that that was inconvenient as I did not occupy either property and that I was just looking for a quote for simple weekly lawn service. She understood and said she'd make note for the estimator to just call me when he looked at both properties. I also noted that the tenants were not to be bothered and that all communication go through myself or my husband as the property managers. I asked her if their commercial services would be more appropriate for what I was looking for and she said since they were SF homes that it needed to be residential services. Fast forward a week and I'm getting phone calls from the estimator asking where I am. After speaking with him and explaining AGAIN that I would not be meeting him at either property, I was told that what I was asking for was considered a drive by estimate and that's not how their company did things. he went on to try and reschedule a time for me to meet at both properties which I the explained would not be convenient for me as I was just looking for an estimate on simple lawn service for rental properties. He then told me that he rang the doorbell of the first home and was about to do the same thing at the second home. When I again explained that all communication was to go through myself or husband as the landlord and property manager, he told me that that made him uncomfortable as if I'm going to pay for some random persons lawn service without their consent. I spoke with three other services that were able to look at satellite maps or drive by to give me a cost, I will not be using ABC for any of my property needs as they took something very simple and managed to make it very complicated and demonstrated poor communication.

Thanks for taking the time to post your comments. You're right, our internal communication was not as good as it should have been. The Customer Service Agent did not properly document your specific request to not contact the resident, but rather to deal only with yourself or your husband. Our Inspector had no way of knowing about your comments, without that documentation and attempted to communicate as he assumed was appropriate. Management apologizes for that lapse. It is worth noting however, that the Inspector was correct in their statement that management strongly prefers potential customers be on site. The reason - safety. Although the possibility is small, an unknown individual entering a yard - front and back - has on occasion been mistaken for an intruder. This is especially a concern in owner/tenant situations where the tenant does not know or may not remember what the owner has asked of the potential contractor. Again, our Customer Service Agent should have spoken with you about this when you phoned originally. In any case, we apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have the opportunity to earn your business in another instance.

Description of Work: Been using for 25 years for quarterly pest control & annual pest protection of attic. Office always helpful. Some field personnel are superb -- some not. Obviously, considering the length of our relationship we consider them to be reasonably good for this type of business. Cost = approx. $70.00 per quarter. Business is VERY Eco Conscious. They do offer a lot of other services in case you want to use one source for pest control, lawn, handyman services, etc. - etc. - etc.

Response from ABC Home & Commercial Services - Austin
Dear Customer, ABC appreciates you taking the time to review ABC on behalf of other Angie’s List members. Management has gone back and listened to the entire phone call between you and our customer service representative. Based on your description during the telephone interaction, we thought we could help with your particular plumbing issue. As it turned out, we could not, but we were able to refer you to a reputable, specialized leak detection company AND did not charge for the time our licensed Plumber spent analyzing the nature of your leak. While we regret the inconvenience any customer suffers anytime they have home service issues, there are unfortunately going to be times that the nature of having to describe a problem over the telephone, results in temporary missteps in finding the ultimate solution. ABC regrets your inconvenience.

Description of Work: I use ABC for pest control at my home residence. I also just called them on Saturday for a water heater outage at my home. They are currently still working this issue and thus far the experice has been great. I came into my business this morning and discovered one of my AC units not working. I have a current service provider I have used (Airco Austin) so I called them and they said they could have a tech out today. Since I just had a home issue and good experience with ABC I called them to see if I could get ABC to come out instead of my normal provider. The ABC phone staff was excellent (Layla) but when I was sent over to the Air Conditioning repair dept the customer service person siad there was no way to get any service today and it would be tomorrow earliest. I am sending you this as an FYI . . .I would be willing to pay a premium for same day or same morning service. I really need this unit repaired this morning so I had to go elsewhere for service. Looking forward to hearing from someone as I really like ABC services but this is dissapointing. Regards,Ken TaylorCurrent Solutions, LLC3814 Woodbury DriveAustin, TX 78704512-600-7080

Description of Work: I have their contract for heating and airconditioning twice-yearly inspection of system. When my air conditioner developed a problem, I, by the contract got immediate service- someone came out at 7:00 p.m. of the day I'd called at 3:00 p.m. Also, they honored the contract by which I did not have to pay time and a half for after-usual-hours work. I also have their pest control service . They schedule well ahead by postcard , reschedule easily if the date they've picked is not convenient for you. they are on time and professional.

Description of Work: Last year about this time, I used ABC Home and Commercial Services to install Christmas Lights on my home. In January they returned to take them down and store them in my attic. I wanted to follow up on my initial report for 2010 on their allowing a 10% discount for re-installing the lights this year during November. They installed the lights very professionally and returned yesterday to set the timers and show me how to reset or turn off the lights. At all times their personnel were courteous and knowledgeable. This year I also had my daughter's new house decorated by ABC as a Christmas present and she was pleased as much as I.
