Description of Work: Installed two ceiling fans with remote controls and removed another fan. He did all the work in the two hour window as required. The Tech was nice, polite and cleaned when each fan was finished. I would use this service again.

Description of Work: I purchased a package for 40 hours of skilled "handyman services" thru Angie's List deals. Since I am out of their service area (Austin), I agreed to a "trip charge" and 2 "handymen" for 20 hours (a "husband and wife team"). They showed up later than the office represented. The "wife" of this team is actually 18 and appeared to be in training by the skilled handy man. He allowed her to hang 2 light fixtures which need to be taken down and re hung properly as they are crooked and wobbly. Most of the time she was watching him and get his tools and learn about what he was doing. They were nice enough, but I paid for 2 "skilled" handymen services. We rescheduled one of the days which they tried to cancel 2 times due to a staff meeting and other scheduling conflicts. I had to have the work done on that day. The morning of, they called to let me know they broke down and would not be able to make it. This left me scrambling to find someone who could come complete the work before renters checked in. The whole experience has been very unprofessional and disheartening. Also, I think it is worth mentioning that the additional "trip fee" they were charging was for the "team" to drive 17 miles from San Marcos to my home in New Braunfels. San Marcos to Austin, their service area is 31 miles.

Hey (removed member name)! I guess I'm confused on the B. We came out to give you a free estimate to remodel your kitchen and we got your estimate right out to you. I have done several follow up calls with no response. We do take pride in making our customer happy. We do appreciate you feedback and we would like to know what we could have done better to earn an A and your business! Best Regards!

Dear [Member name removed]! I don't know what your upset about! You called in and sent in pictures for us to give you a free estimate. Our project manager looked at them and said he couldn't really tell from the pictures and needed to go and see. I sent you an email back saying to call and I would get you scheduled for someone to come out and give you an estimate. I really don't understand why your angry! I'm really sorry for any inconvenience!

Response from OnCall Home Services
Dear [Member Name Removed], I Have gone all the way back to the first of the year and found where you purchased at 2hr siding call for $69.00 on 1/29/15. It also shows clearly where we sent you a response the next day asking you to please call us direct to schedule an appointment. I have no record of you ever getting in touch with us, and I have no record of scheduling an appointmet for you. The information that Angie's list sent me has no phone number or email address for you, so I have no way of getting in touch with you. I will be glad to honor the coupon if you would just give us a call 512-522-3554. Sorry about any inconvenience that this has cause you! Best Regards! OnCall Home Service

Description of Work: I bought a pkg for "handyman services" but when I called I first was told that Angie's List had not forwarded my info; then when I went over the variety of needs I had (e.g., check/fix elec outlet; install ceiling fan light; minor plumbing and other electrical (including, install outdoor yard lamp to pre-existing connections) I was told these were all outside the purview of a 'handyman." Asked what was covered under "handyman" I repeatedly got 'put up shelves' but no other services I needed. So I requested a refund, which was purportedly given (but I still need to confirm). What the heck is a 'handyman' if they can't do anything????

Hey [Member name removed], I'm very sorry that our services could not work out for you. Several things that you mentioned we diffently do, and you were not told other wise. We do replace light fixtures, we do small electrical work. we do small plumbing. What we don't do, and what you didn't mention was what you actually needed, that was to get a water heater installed and a pipe under your sink replace which would include the valves. That takes a plumber and is not coverd under the scope of the handyman coupon. Sorry for any inconvience this may have caused. We went over all this when I taked to you and those were the main things that you wanted done. ( You said you could do the rest). We like to make our customer happy and don't like anyone to be unhappy! I thought you understood the situation and we both agreed that since it was something our handyman didn't do that a refund was due. (I even offered to send out our plumber to give you an estimate) I think that an F is way out of line since we did all we could and we did not perform any work for you. All we can do is be honest and straight foward about what the coupon covers. Again Sorry for the inconvience! Best Regards! OnCall Home Service

Description of Work: David was very friendly and on-time, he was finished cleaning my dryer vent in about 20 minutes. |All went well, expect for a mess where the vent was located, dryer lint was everywhere on the ground (Dryer vent exhaust is on the roof) not a big deal but not how I would of left a customer's lawn. After about 15 minutes of clean up everything was well. |

Description of Work: They patched a hole in the ceiling. I don't remember what it cost but it was twice what was represented because they had to go to Home Depot to get supplies. They knew what the job was so it would seem they would carry supplies or at least tell you what they were going to need. And of course the supplies were extra as well as the trip to Home Depo. And painting over the patch work was not part of the deal. The guy who came out was really nice and personable.

Hey (removed member name)! Thanks for your feedback! We always like to hear from our customers. Sorry you are not happy! What you purchased was a 2 hr handyman for $89.00. I clearly states on the coupon you purchased that this was for labor only and you are responsible for all materials. It also says that we will go to get what materials are need but that is it billed towards the time you purchased. It's very had to have all supplies needed for any job since our service guys do such a different range of jobs each day. I see that you were satisfied with our work and I hope in the future if you ever need anything you might give us another chance! Thanks again for you input! OnCall Home Service
