Big Papa's Home Repair

I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. He told me that it would be a week before he could come and start my job. I told him that would be fine and I waited a week but he didn't show up. I waited another week and he didn't show up, so I called him to ask what was wrong and tell him that I needed to get my shower done before my renter returned. He never did return my call. I left a message to see what was wrong but he never did call back, and till this day I haven't heard a word from him. So, that left me two weeks behind of the vacation that my officer was on because I wanted to get the job done before he got back so that he would have a shower on that side of the house. I then called another guy that I had used before and he said he was free to take the job, so I hired him. Big Papa was going to charge me $1200 to do the job. I was kind of leery of guy because his eyes were bloodshot when he came out to give me the estimate. I am a midwife and I should have known right there but I thought that it could be some allergy. The price was good and lower than what I am paying now.

He came over to our house looked at the jobs. Said he would be back on Thursday. Never showed up or called. This is the second time thus has happen. We are done with him.

He was efficient and very quick. He was very comfortable in my home. He did a great job and the price was reasonable.

Provider came to my house to assess the damage I had. He quoted me a price that I thought was reasonable and was able to do the work that same day. I think he a great job and I will definitely be using him for more work in the future.

After explaining the situation to Big Papa I left him with the tenants phone number so they could coordinate a time to look at the house and directions to call me back with his findings. A week went by and I never heard from him but my tenant said he had stopped by. I called Big Papa who apologized for forgetting to call me. He assured me that it was a slip up and that he would be able to get to the work. I then gave him permission to perform the work we discussed. Three weeks have now gone by and he has not contacted the tenant to set up a time to take care of the work nor have I heard anything else form him. I called him today to let him know I would no longer be needing his service as I would be choosing another handyman. He said and quot;Thats fine, I'm too busy to do it right now anyway.and quot; No apology was given this time, nor indication that he had any plans to ever get to the work. I wish he would have been honesty with me when I originally called so I could have taken care of the problem immediately.

Do be prepared to be involved with the work. I have a 5'x10' trailer and picked up all the required supplies at home depot and lowes. He does pretty good work and put up with and accomplished my and quot;perfectionistand quot; requests.

I purchased all of the materials and he was just suppose to put them up. The first day he was suppose to come and do the work, he called in sick. That did not bother me and we set up a new appointment, and he has not showed or answered since. If he was in the hospital, I am willing to give him another chance since being is sick nothing something can control.

I hired Big Papa just before Thanksgiving to do all of the above interior remodeling. He worked very hard and I kept giving him extra tasks as sometimes happens in old house remodeling based on what is found while doing the work.So of course it took a little longer than the original time estimate. Sheetrock work is time consuming and requires many trips. He was able to keep working on other projects while waiting for the mud to dry. The precision of his sheetrock and countertop work is to be admired! You can't even tell where to old unsightly gas wall heaters used to be nor the extra large holes cut by the electricians. The texture matches perfectly and so does the paint. The flooring and the caulk were also very nicely finished. All of the matching door knobs open and close correctly and look much better that the hodgepodge found in the home upon purchase. Even tho there were additional tasks discovered during the work, his prices were very reasonable and we came in close to budget. The fact that he cleaned up as he worked was very impressive and he even cleaned up the garage! There is much work to be done in the future on the exterior of this property and I will be hiring him for sure!

I like him very much as a person. He does good work and is dependable. I feel confident about him. I'm going to have him do more work for me in the future.
