My initial contact with Steve began well. We basically traded voice mail messages. I eventually did speak with him directly and we set a time for him to review the projects and work up an estimate. He never showed up and stopped returning my calls. If he didn't want my business, I would have expected him to say so either after learning what the projects were or at least leave me a message indicating he didn't want the job. This isn't a very professional way of conducting business but seems to be an all to common stereotype for the trades.

He was on time the day of the job. Sprayed the fence and used qty 2.5 out of qty 3 of the 5-gallon sealant.?Because there was 1/2 of a 5-gallon bucket not used, I asked him to come back to spray the remainder of the sealant. ?Sealant was very expensive ($160 per 5-gallon bucket = $480,) so I did not want the half bucket to sit around, collect dust for years, and not be used on the fence. ?I was on business travel that week, so once I arrived back home after his second visit, I noticed two things. ?1.) ?The used 5-gallon bucket was found across my lot in an empty lot. ?As a result, it was not disposed of properly. ?2.) When the sprayer was cleaned at my house, over spray was sprayed on my newly planted Bermuda tiff grass. ?Although it cannot be proved. there was a dead spot (about a 2' x 6' section) next to the fence while my entire yard was green. ?I used to work for a landscaper back in college, and this was no fluke of nature, as the grass was dead, not just turning color from a lack of water and/or fertilizer. ?Other than these two issues, he did a good job.

The Job went very well. Steve was on vacation when I initially called him. Once he was back in town he called and came to look at the job. A couple of days later he came back as scheduled and completed the job in a short time. I would not hesitate to use him again and the recommend him for any work to be done around the house.

Steve was on time and he answered the call while he was finishing up his vacation. I was in dire need of the faucet to be changed out. New Shower tile and didn't want any water problems as old one was leaking and I had company coming for the weekend. He had to run and get different molding for the closet and was right back. On time and finished to my satisfaction - sealed the deal! I would use him again.
Description of Work: Put new faucet on tub; replace closet framing, replace 2 smoke detectors that are wired into house, put up curved shower curtain rod and fix a bathroom drawer that was sticking
After dealing with a bad contractor last year, we were a bit jaded. What a wonderful experience with Quality Handyman Service. I am going to have them back for some extra work, since we are selling our home, I really feel fortunate to have found him. Thanks Angie's list, you have a winner with Quality Handyman Service
Description of Work: Steve and his crew are simply amazing, he is honest, and really cares about the job and your satisfaction. They repaired cracked ceilings, painted, fixed a patio fan, replaced a board in the front of our house.

Steve put me at ease right away as he walked through the house for the estimate. He explained what could be done and had a solution for every problem, as well as an explanation for the excessive nail pops that no one else had mentioned. His experience (over 22 years, I believe) was clear and he didn't try to make things out to be any worse than they were. His price was fantastic. He brought in a two-man crew and stayed on sight contributing himself nearly the entire time. They worked over two days, with Steve marking every single ding and bump he could find (even more thorough than my own efforts) and the crew making the repairs. His team was incredibly professional, friendly, and did a great job of minimizing the impact on our family - which was important since we both work from home and have a baby that's here throughout the day. The end result was great, and when I spotted a couple of areas that needed retouching (they only became obvious after painting) Steve offered to come back out to take a look and repair them. We were so impressed that we've asked him back to handle a whole other laundry list of general handyman repairs.
Description of Work: We purchased a very large home (4600 sqft) that was a foreclosure. It had been mistreated and had considerable drywall damage that needed to be repaired, including dozens of nail pops, patches, seams, and lots of texture work. Nearly every room in the house required some form of drywall work. We also needed the repairs completed quickly because we had to have the house painted prior to having wood shutters installed, and the clock was already ticking.
Steve is a busy guy. He and two helpers came and did all the work needed in a timely and professional manner. I hope he will work on the property next time we need help.
Description of Work: Repaired damaged deck railing, replaced or repaired window screens, replaced old laminate countertop with 4x4 tiles.

One job I had Steve do in my garage was to repair some sheet rock seams.on the ceiling. That included painting over the area so that it would match the rest of the ceiling. Steve and his helper were not happy with the way it looked Steve said they would come back and repaint the whole ceiling at no extra cost. That is exactly what they did. I will be using Quality Handyman Services again.
Description of Work: This was an Angie's List Deal for a Garage Clean Up and Organize. Quality Handyman services did a great job of cleaning out the garage and organizing it. I have already had them back twice for other jobs. Steve and his crew beside cleaning the garage have hung a ceiling fan, put up shelves and changed my exterior door locks. Steve is very nice and easy to work with has done a excellent job.

Everything went smoothly. Steve was very professional and courteous. He accommodated my harried schedule. He came over to gauge the work that would need to be done and figure out what supplies he'd need. He returned with a small crew, ladder and drill to install the solar screens. I couldn't be happier. Thanks!

VERY SATISFIED WITH THE EFFORT & WORK PERFORMED. THEY WERE ACCOMMODATING TO THE NEEDS OF THE TENANTS (PETS). I USED A BIG DEAL COUPON FOR SOME OF THE COST. FINAL COST OF THE WORK WAS MISUNDERSTOOD, DUE TO THE WAY THE ESTIMATE WAS WRITTEN, ESTIMATE WRITTEN SHOWING MATERIAL COST ONLY ACCORDING TO OWNER. I THOUGHT THE ESTIMATE WAS FOR LABOR & MATERIAL AVERAGING ~ $14XX PER FOOT; FINAL COST AVERAGED ~ $16.XX. THE FAULT IS EQUALLY MINE & THERE WAS A SCOPE CHANGE (EXTENSION & BRUSH WORK). AVERAGE COST FOR FENCING NORMALLY IN THE $14- $17 RANGE. I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OTHER ESTIMATES HAD I KNOWN ACTUAL COST. I WOULD STONGLY ADVISE PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS TO REQUEST A MORE DETAILED ESTIMATE. AND GO OVER IT BEFORE WORK IS SCHEDULED.
Description of Work: WOOD FENCE/GATE REPLACEMENT. REUSE OF GOOD BOARDS. CLEARED BRUSH TO EXTEND FENCE TO APPROPRIATE BOUNDARY.

He was very punctual, efficient, professional and cleaned up after himself when the projects were completed. I was very pleased with the services he provided and will definitely use him in the future.
Description of Work: I had made a list of household items needing attention, and called Steve Lee who responded by phone the same day. We made arrangements for him to come to see what work was needing to be done, and he came as scheduled. After showing him the list, he made notes and agreed to email me an estimate shortly, which he promptly did. He scheduled me according to my schedule since I was having out of town guests the following week, and promptly came with the supplies necessary to do the work on the day promised. Being a perfectionist, I was pleased with his thoroughness and the quality of the work he did.

Steve Lee is a very nice guy. We trusted him completely. However, he has a classic case of "over-promise and under-deliver". The carpet we provided and he installed was done very well. We had asked for a trim on the carpet, and, after installation, Steve indicated he "was still searching for the trim". When we asked a second time, he responded that he would place some transparent caulk on the edges so that it wouldn't fray. It looked great until it rained, after which it turned white (on the edge of a brown carpet), which looked horrible. When we told him about it, he indicated he would be back "tomorrow", and now three weeks later, we have not heard from him. The cracks he filled in on our tan-shaded patio were filled with light gray caulking, except around our front steps where his helper (without our asking) filled in a crack with some orange caulk in an attempt to match the color of the steps. None of this was to our satisfaction, and when the watering system came on and got the caulk wet, we saw that the colors were incredibly mismatched. When we told Steve about this, he indicated he would be there "tomorrow", and we have yet to hear from him. The price was right, the guy seemed to understand what we wanted, he was prompt in returning phone calls and coming quickly to do the job, but unfortunately, he never returned to finish the job. We depended upon the Angie's List ratings to hire Steve, so I feel bad that he did not live up to our expectations. Handymen need to learn how to "under-promise and over-deliver". That is the secret to a successful business. We tried to "go local" and help the local economy. The next time we might go to a national handyman service.
Description of Work: After an estimate we both agreed upon ($299 for 8 hours' worth of work by one man), Steve performed the services we requested, and more. He caulked some cracks in our patio, and replaced an indoor/outdoor carpet we requested. He also patched a crack in our driveway. He (and his two helpers) also patched three cracks that we had missed, for which we were very thankful. All of this work took about 3.5 hours for two men (while Steve went to get supplies and do whatever).
