They were easy to work with and they worked long hours. There were some things that weren't as good as they could have been, but overall, they did a good job.
Description of Work: They covered up a doorway in the entry of our home with drywall and they painted our living room, dining room and family room. They also, filled in some small cracks in our walls.

The work was done efficiently in so far as quality as well as quickly.
Description of Work: Troy Jenkins, owner of T & E Home Improvements, was professional, punctual and polite. He stayed by his estimates for general home improvement jobs including painting ceilings, installing garbage disposal, installing bathroom light fixtures, smoke alarms and track lighting. The people who worked for him were also very capable. I would not hesitate to recommend his work as having been of a high quality and would call him again for similar improvements.

Troy came out to give us an estimate very soon after we called, and he was very professional. He did such a good job on the fence, we hired him to paint our baseboards and he did a great job with that, too.
Description of Work: Installed a new fence on one side of our house. Troy's work was very good and we have referred him to our neighbors. He showed up on time and completed the work on time.

T & E Home Improvements gave us the estimate and we accepted it. His price was pretty good. He said he would come the next day and we never heard from him. We called one evening and he told us there was not enough money in it for him. We then offered him more work and he said he would be out the next day. We haven't heard from him since.
Description of Work: We received an estimate for some plumbing work under our 4 sinks. T & E Home Improvements scheduled the work, for the next day.

Troy is very creative in his design and ideas however the craftsmanship on the closet was a little rough. He did come on time and really did a nice job on the windows and ceiling fan. We were really happy with his overall performance with all of the projects except the closet shelf. He designed and built a shelf in the closet but the trim was uneven, it was not sanded very well and the color of the paint was uneven too. I don't think we will hire him again because of this.
Description of Work: Troy, the owner installed a window into a hole in the wall of our bedroom that previously contained a wall air conditioner and replaced a window in our living room. We also had him install a ceiling fan which he had to do a lot of extra stuff to make it work right in the living room and re-design and paint a closet. The windows were $360, the closet was $300 and the ceiling fan was $375.

Once again , Troy Jenkins did a wonderful job. Troy showed up on time, worked fast, and completed all of this in about a day and a half (he had to come back after the concrete base dried). I will definitely call T & E again for more work.
Description of Work: This is the second time I have used T & E Home Improvements. I was replacing three light fixtures inside and five outside. Also, I needed a new mailbox set in place. The light fixtures inside were high ceiling type lights and the mailbox replacement required that a new concrete base be poured.

Called contractor to look at repairs needed and provide work estimate. He showed up on time and prepared and provided a written estimate for work. We were to provide scaffolding for chimney repairs, and he was to begin the other repair work within 10 days. We have communicated twice by email and he's not returned those messages or appeared to begin the work. We have a feeling the chimney repairs may have been beyond his normal scope of work, but we would rather he tell us that than just not show. We have hired another contractor. T&E seemed like nice guy and knowledgeable, but reluctant. We were disappointed it didn't work out.
Description of Work: Work NOT performed included repair to wood trim and insertion of mesh screen and caulking in about 7 areas were mice were getting in. Work also NOT performed included replacement of chimney exterior wood with hardiplank.

Troy was very professional and courteous. He put together a detailed estimate for all work and requested a deposit to cover materials. He was on time to work every day and carried out all work with professionalism and an excellent work ethic. He was very understanding of our changes and additions to the project, and he proposed good solutions to challenges encountered along the way. The quality of work performed by Troy and his crew was very good, and we were so impressed by his workmanship and work ethic that we hired him to repaint the exterior of our house. We would recommend Troy for any kind of work, ranging from small jobs to major remodel.
Description of Work: Full remodel of master suite. Included: remove all drywall and carpet from upstairs bedroom, hallway and stairwell; remove existing wall between bedroom and hallway; install new outlets and recessed lighting fixtures; frame new wall at stairwell and entrance to closet; enlarge existing doorway to bathroom; install and float drywall on walls and ceilings; install new baseboards and door trim; repair/replace floor boards where necessary; prime and paint drywall and trim; install 3 new doors and hardware plus bi-fold closet doors.

I needed someone to perform a host of small jobs on a Saturday at a last moment's notice. I called Angie's List on Saturday morning to get a referral and Troy answered my call even while he was on the roof. He then asked to call me back and he in fact did. He came out to my house by 2:30 pm at exactly the time that he promised and stayed until all the jobs were done (approx. 8 pm). He then returned on Monday as another emergency arose and helped me complete the jobs while in between his other assignments. Troy was professional and courteous. His prices were reasonable. He showed up when he promised and cleaned the work area as needed. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Jobs performed included hanging blinds, taping & painting baseboards, cleaning windows (2nd floor), changing locks on exterior & interior doors, hanging drapery & mirror, rehanging A/C vent grids, and fitting doors back into door frames so they can close smoothly.

When I called for an estimate Troy was prompt, professional and provided the cost the same day. Troy completely replaced one gate, and repaired the other. He also stained the new gate for no extra charge. The work was done expertly, and finished on time as he promised. My new gate is beautiful. He cleaned up the area, and provided a sales receipt for the materials he purchased. I recommend T&E HOME IMPROVEMENT for any fence repairs.
Description of Work: My husband put up a beautiful fence, but the gates were too heavy, and large for the posts. As a result they had started to sag, bend, and warp, making them difficult to open. They were practically hanging off the hinges when I called T&E HOME IMPROVEMENT.

Outstanding job. Mr. Jenkins used a concrete saw to cut through 4 inch thick cinder block and created a standard 32"x 80" doorway. With little room for error, this was accomplished superbly by his steady hand and precise measurements. Despite the tremendous dust and noise, he forged ahead undeterred. Troy has done many projects for me, and I have yet to be even slightly disappointed. His painting skills are excellent, his prices reasonable and competitive. Troy completed the project on time and budget.
Description of Work: Created a doorway from an interior concrete wall. Cut off and trimmed part of a built-in book case to make way for the new doorway. Primed and painted 1 room and 2 additional walls.

Troy gave an itemized, written bid. His crew started the job early, which was great because the holidays were approaching. They were a joy to work with. His crew was dependable, honest, & trustworthy. If they said they were going to be at my house, they were always there as promised. The job was finished on time, on budget. They did a great job - true craftsmen. You couldn't ask for more! Troy will definitely be working at my house again.
Description of Work: Troy finished the inside of our garage by installing insulation and sheetrock, as well as decking for storage in the attic. He also added 2 windows and some fencing.

Based upon information on Angie's List, we called T & E for an estimate in mid-August, as well as others. We were impressed with the owner, Troy Jenkins, and after an unplanned delay, we selected Troy to perform the project. We appreciated Troy's cooperation and skill. The fence looks great!

Troy did a very good job. He showed up on time to give my estimate. Prepared the estimate while I waited. Gave me a start date and maximum no of days to finish. He was able to start early and finish early which was fantastic for me, because I am trying to put my house up for sale as quickly as possible. He even worked on Saturday and Sunday. Troy had a great attitude and was easy to work with. I liked him so much that I am going to have him install wood floors and make misc repairs at my new place. I highly recommend T & E.

Troy is THE best handyman I have ever come across. First his quote for the project was unbeatable. To be honest, I was a little unsure at first about the kind of work he would do for the price he quoted me. I was quickly amazed at this guy. He called to confirm the appointment, he showed up right on time and he worked NON stop. He wouldn't even stop for me to buy him lunch!!! Troy is a first class guy, great work ethic and very friendly. His honesty, professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. From the moment he stepped into my house, I felt at ease with him. Not once did he try to rip me off or change his quote. I m not kidding, this guy is awesome. We have already talked about other projects that I would like to get done. It's such a great feeling to know, I will never have to look for another handyman again. Based on my experience, I have to recommend Troy highly to anyone looking for help with home remodeling projects.

Troy Jenkins called me to inform me he could come a day early and that worked great for me. He was on time and very, very, polite. He had to go to Home Depot twice and didn't mind that part of the job. He was very particular with his work and made sure the work outcome pleased me. I was very happy with the outcome. We discussed other jobs I needed done and I will definitely call him and use his service again.
Description of Work: Replaced base plates on the floor of three doors. The old base plates had been in place since the house was built in 1980. I had attempted to loosen them and failed. I considered this a difficult job.
