817 Home DRs LLC

Brian is top notch! I’m so glad I found 817HomeDrs on Angieslist. Brian and his partner worked my problem hard and even potentially found ways to save me money by proposing less intrusive means of repair. Honest men, high quality work, and superbly trustworthy. They also have me the best price on the work over several other vendors. I intend to call Brian again for more work.

I cannot speak highly enough of Brian and Scott. They did an amazing job on a complete remodel of my kitchen and new flooring throughout the house. I had a budget I needed to stay within and Brian made sure to get me the most bang for my buck. Both he and Scott went so far above and beyond to ensure I was happy with their work and received a final product I would be proud to show to my friends and family. They are very professional in their work, but also very easy to talk to and even helped me make better choices in some of my selections of colors and products. They were respectful of my home and made sure the job was completed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend 817 Home Drs for any home improvements or repairs and plan to use them again.

Brian and Scott remodel my bathroom. They made it handicap accessible for my dad. They did a great job!

The siding job was done, but they punctured the freon looks ne of our air conditioning system. Our system warranty requires that the a/c company perform all repairs. The estimate for the repair was about $2100. The head of 817 Home Drs, Brian, said he would only pay $500, or would have his own guy do the work, since he was an employee of the a/c company. The a/c company said that was not acceptable, and the employee in question was a duct cleaner, not an a/c technician. The a/c company did the repair, and now Brian is holding our deck job hostage until we eat $1600 of the a/c repair bill.

After terrible experiences elsewhere, Brian was great to work with during the bid process. He was on time, very helpful, and very candid. His pricing is excellent compared to other vendors. We ultimately went elsewhere because my wife wanted to work with a particular designer. It was a very difficult decision to not use him. I'm recommend him for any home improvement project and hope to use him on other projects in the future.

Brian and his co-worker did an excellent job. The quote we received beat the others hands down. They were very friendly and professional. They cleaned up the work area as they went from window to window. We would definitely hire them again!

Brian & his team did a great job of planning our project, helping identify materials and a style that would work well in our 1940s house. They were punctual in arriving for estimates and to do the work, and kept the project clean as they went. We are amazed by the quality of their finished work and communication throughout the process.

You see these shows on TV where they make Dream Remodels look EASY! Well, it isn't. It isn't easy for the homeowner, or the homeowner's pocketbook, or the contractor. Someone is doing all of the dirty work all of the hours between takes, and off camera. Brian is that guy. He makes it all look AWESOME. Once again he overcame every obastacle that we, or our house, or our schedule could throw at him, causing us the least amount of inconvenience as possible. and usually at his own inconvenience and expense. Our home had not had an improvement since the 60's, and now it can hold its own against any home in the neighborhood. I cannot overestimate the convenience of hiring someone that can do it all. My brother was performing a similar remodel at the same time as mine and it ook him over twice as long because the plumber was always waiting on the tile guy who was waiting on the carpenter who was waiting on materials. In the 5 weeks that the remodel was being performed we were without a kitchen sink for one night, and that was due to the granite work, whcih I had contracted and Brian had nothing to do with. Oh yeah, and while they were doing the granite Brian had them make a kitchen window sill to match and it looks beautiful. Brian does it all. And he is constantly figuring out how to overcome all of the little hiccups every job will have. He was infinitely patient with all of our requests, additions and changes, and there were many. He doesn't cut corners and he won't settle for less than perfect. I wrote this review as Brian was finishing up, and was waiting to post it after one last window was installed as promised. I began to notice and Brian even commented on it when he came back to install the window that some of the kitchen flooring was having issues. After several months haggling with the installer, and the bamboo supplier ( I won't print the name but it rhymes with Dome Repo) to no avail, Brian assumed all responsibilty and has paid to have it re-installed. This was at least 1500.00 out of his pocket, not including several days of his time to remove an island, baseboards etc, and then reinstalling and performing the detail work that makes our kitchen stand out,2 a hit that I am pretty sure few contractors would be willing to have taken care of, especially a two man operation like Home Doctors, and it speaks volumes about Brian's professionalism and his integrity. Instead of us having to pack up and move to our dream home, Brian built it inside of our house. I can without hesitation recommend Brian and 817 Home Doctors.

when new countertop was installed, bottom row of tiles had to be removed in order to complete installation. I called Brian to install the tiles. He came immediately and completed the work swiftly and beautifully. This was not the first time I had used 817 House Dr...I had previously had them come to repair the soffit on the outside of the house, among other odds and ends. Overall I am very pleased with their work.

We found Brian's company on Angie's List. We contacted Brian, and scheduled for him to come over to take a look at what we wanted accomplished, and right away we felt at ease with Brian. He listened to us, mainly my wife, and took notes, and then he made some recommendations. We felt after visiting with Brian, we wanted him to do the kitchen renovation. He gave us an estimate, and told us there would not be any hidden costs. He came in, and removed the popcorn ceiling, textured the ceiling, and painted the ceiling. Then he brought in his painter, and he completely stripped the cabinets, inside and out, and painted them. Next was the granite counter tops. Brian was here at our home everyday, doing the renovation exactly as we planned out. Brian completed the kitchen by installing the back splash, and installed our new kitchen lights. He also installed our new dishwasher, and his painter painted our pantry door, back kitchen door, and of course the whole kitchen. Brian then stepped up, and installed a new commode in our guest bathroom. To say the least, Brian can do pretty much anything, and it turns out perfect! We would highly recommend Brian to anyone that needs any type of renovation to their home. Brian is very much the professional, and by the way...he starts at 8am and does not quit until 5 or 6pm! He cleans up everything, and at the end of the project, we did not know he had been here, except for the beautiful, new kitchen that we now have!! Thanks, 817 Home Doctors!!

I really hate to say what a great job Brian did for us because we have a whole list of projects that we need performed and he is already pretty busy, but we cannot say enough good things about his work, and working with him. In so many ways he went above and beyond, taking the time and doing things that we would never know about such as waterproofing behind the shower walls, and replacing small worn plumbing components without charge. It was also impressive how he cleaned up the work site every day, or taking the time to make sure that related components all worked properly in other parts of the house after he had to shut off gas or water. When you perform a remodel of your only shower in the house it is already a major inconvenience, but he took extra steps and put in extra time to make our shower available in an impossible amount of time, while he completed the remainder of the remodel. I don't think Brian is the cheapest out there, but when you figure in the peace of mind knowing that the guy you have let into your home cares about his work, and you aren't worried about missing a TV or all of your silverware when they leave, he also is nowhere near the most expensive. He did so many What I am trying to say is that if you want an HGTV bathroom, and probably built even more solidly , hire this guy. As difficult as it is to even find a competent contractor, when you come across on that also has some pretty amazing customer service skills, it truly is a blessing. We cannot express our gratitude enough for everything that Brian did for us. Oh yes, I almost forgot. The bathroom looks amazing.

Brian listened to what we wanted and had a lot of great ideas about how to get us to the final product. He and his crew came everyday on time and worked hard until 5. They were professional and the resulting workmanship is very good. No hidden costs.

Brian returned our phone call within 24 hrs for an estimate. He and his assistant Brian showed up on time as scheduled. They were professional and did not rush the time. They were both easy to talk to and very knowledgable. Brian made a list of all our needs and detailed it out in the estimate along with a price for each item. That was very helpful. He emailed the estimate the next day. The work was completed as scheduled and priced. The quality exceeded our expectations. We plan to use them again next year for additional projects.

Brian and his assistant were very easy to deal with. Price was better than I had anticipated, even after the work took longer than planned because of difficulties in removing the old items. They improvised and maintained a very positive attitude throughout, performing demolition, construction, plumbing, drywall, texturing, a little tiling, etc. all of which turned out very well. The new French Doors turned out to be about an inch shorter than the original sliding doors - Brian filled in the gap and trimmed it in a way that looks original. Great cleanup also. As I was at work when they finished, Brian sent photos of finished work and seemed concerned that we be pleased with it. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would use again.

Provider did a great job at a fair price, showed up on time each day & always cleaned up at the end of the day. I would use them again.

Jeff and Brian made this overwhelming project a breeze for me. They listened to me explain what I wanted and my overall vision of the kitchen layout. These two even got creative and made a wine glass holder over my sink for me. I could not be more pleased with their work and will hire them again as well as refer them. Their cleanliness and professionalism was very important to me. I did not feel intimidated by them or uncomfortable with them in my home.

Brian and Jeff were super. Didn't try to talk me into anything - understood what I wanted and did just that. The house is 30 years old, had it share of challanges that were well handled. Floors had to be leveled and walls in the bathroom were not quite plumb.I know it was not easy but it looks wonderful and I am happy with the results. It's just what I wanted -and the refinish on the vanity cabinet probably saved me about $500 since I don't have to replace it with a new one. I've had nothing but compliments from the family when they saw how great the bathroom and all the flooring looks. The last company I had out about doing a tub to shower conversion gave an estimate that was nearly 3 times what I was quoted by Brian. I was well pleased with the value for the work. I was told the job would take 6 to 7 days and that was what it took. Again, I had been told previously it would take 2-3 weeks by another vendor. I would definitely use 817 Home DRs again. And I have already recommended them to a couple of people I know who were looking for a reliable company.

They did what we requested. They finished the work within the required amount of time. They cleaned up well after themselves. They were great themselves but they subcontracted the work and we didn't care for the subcontractors. They had written down that certain things were going to be done and he didn't do them.

Everyone was very professional and polite and showed up and called on time when they said they would.

Brian and Jeff did a beautiful job. The windows are odd sized and my house is old so it was not a simple remove/replace job. They did a great job on both the removal and the replacement with no damage to interior or to brick on exterior. Everything was foamed and caulked. The bathroom tub had to come out in pieces, but there was no unnecessary damage. The new tub was installed and tile laid, Brian suggested a custom pattern that looks wonderful. They also installed a new fan/light that is perfectly centered now! The trim they installed is great, they had to custom fit in many places and you can't tell there is even a seam there. The exterior paint looks great and was completed very quickly. They continually clean the area they are working in so construction residue and dust is kept to a minimum. They kept me informed of progress during project, notified me for input on out of ordinary issues, and were very timely in being there when they said they would. Truly a great experience.
