McCulloch Remodeling

Very pleased with the work performed as well as communicating with me what was going on. I live in Houston and the work being done was in College Station but things went flawlessly.

great

He used his personnel to paint the house and did excellent job. Also they replaced floor plugs with new ones which will not come out of the floor. The slides he placed in the kitchen drawers have been a great aid for us.

The service and responsiveness from McCulloch Remodeling was unlike anything my family has experienced before. I started what I expected would be a simple ceiling fan installation in my daughter's bedroom in a College Station condo she shares with two friends. I only brought the tools that a simple installation would require. It turned out that the light fixture box was plastic and not braced well enough to support a fan. Not only that, but after taking the light fixture box out, there was no apparent way to even put the light back up because of the incredibly dumb way the builder had attached it. So, late on a Friday I turned to Angie's List and saw that McCulloch Remodeling was available for emergency calls. When I called, Clay listened to my predicament and then patiently described what I could purchase at Home Depot to safely install the fan myself to save the cost of a service call. However, I didn't feel comfortable because of the limited tools I had with me in College Station and because of an existing metal brace that I couldn't figure out how to avoid or use. Clay sent me off to Home Depot to get the part before they closed, and headed to meet me at my daughter's place. He spent nearly two hours of his time coming up with a good, safe way to install the fan and started the installation. He would have completed the installation but I had stripped the threads of a screw that was needed and by this time Home Depot was closed. He walked me through everything remaining that was needed until I was completely comfortable completing the job the next day myself, once I was able to get the few remaining parts needed. It was clear from my discussions with Clay during this work that he is extremely knowledgeable (I'm an engineer so I asked a lot of questions!) and is very "hands on" in his business. HIs background and his clear desire to help out and do a good job makes it easy for me to recommend him highly for any home repair or remodeling job. When Clay went to leave, I asked for the bill, ....but he absolutely refused to accept any payment! He said to chalk this one up as a "Good Ag" just helping out another. This was without him even knowing that the reason I had such a high urgency to get the fan installed was that my daughter was in a bad automobile accident recently. She was hit head on by a drunk driver going 70 mph, but she is bravely going to go to school this semester with the help of an electric mobility scooter. The fan is needed because the combination of medications she is on makes her very warm at times.

I had left two messages regarding the work I needed done and they never returned my call.

Great! Showed up on time. Completed work to the full and efficiently. Would call again for any building repairs!!!

Clay seemed to know his stuff. I wager that both he and his son do good work. The problem is that they are completely unreliable for even simple appointments, calls, emails, and/or estimates. I was taking bids on a huge job, which may have been too much for them to handle. However, if that is the case, then simply say it is too much. Do not talk up your work, give tentative ball-park estimates (which seemed to be competitive), and then disappear. I would love to have given a more thorough review of actual work completed, but that was not possible as I could not even get an official estimate (or even partial estimate).

Clay initially gave me a bid of $640.00 to install the controller and replace 5 valves. It turned out to be a more extensive job with broken pipes, etc. The total bill came to $1560.00. His hourly rate of $95.00 was for 2 guys doing the actual labor under his intermittent supervision. I do think the job was a real challenge and he rose to the occasion but the price was higher than I expected. I would use Clay again but I would get a firm bid upfront and have him tell me what the additional charges would be as he found additional issues along the way.

Great job. I believe I called thinking he offered handyman services and didn't pay attention that his service field is largely remodeling. He was happy to come take a look at a hot water heater problem anyway and I am truly grateful even though my brother ended up doing the work later on. Thanks so much Clay!

Just call someone else !

They made several appointments which they did not show up for or even cancel.

.See above- have done business with company quite a few times for a number of years. Always turned out well

These repairs were done in a timely way. They had to wait on some rain storms. It was taken care of so no raw wood was exposed to rain.

Clay worked diligently to complete all of the work quickly. He found additional related problems, which he fixed.

The customer service was really nice. They bothered to call me back. They call me back soon and were very prompt about it. They were very respectful on the phone. They were nice and willing to help. I would consider using them and would use them for another quote in the future.

I had several household repairs I needed done. I called Mr. Handyman Can because of ratings on this website. We set up an appointment and he never showed up. He left a message on my phone about 3 days later asking me to call him about the jobs I needed done. I didn't.

I did not use Mr. Handyman myself, however, my out of town neighbor used him once and liked his work so much, that he had him back a second time to do more work. I witnessed polite workers that cleaned up after themselves after each day till the job was complete. Mr. Handyman stayed on the job with his workers to assure good quality work. I asked him for his card and will certainly hire him when I have a need.

He came to perform service the same week I called. The limbs were on a water oak that extended over the garage roof. Clay and his crew used ropes and took extra care to insure that limbs were removed safely. He also cut another small tree without additional charge while he was here, and stacked all wood at curb for city pickup.

When I called the first time he said he was busy and would call me back in 10 minutes. He didn't return the call. I called one week later. He apologized for losing my number. We arranged a time for him to come to the house and do an estimate. He was on time and the completed estimate arrived the next day. I confirmed the contract. Work began 3 days later and was completed in a timely manner. He was very professional and did high quality work at a reasonable price. The main thing I enjoyed other than the quality of the work was that he showed up when he said he would be there. I would recommend him without hesitation.
