Description of Work: Although I ultimately did not end up using George, it was simply because of a timing issue on my part. He was great. |

Description of Work: Converted an unused room and space into a nursery and closet. All was acceptable and a grade of B until I was given an after-contract additional bill for about $800. I specifically stated in the beginning that any work had to be authorized by me, but he did not do that. I like estimates and contract addendum so that I am not surprised at the end. I felt the $800 was excessive.

Went great. Would use him again. Was very patient with us setting up a time to meet. We had to cancel three times due to appliances not delivered and granite not installed. Very friendly. Even my dogs liked him.

George was great and everything went well. There were a couple of minor glitches but none were his fault, it was mostly things like my having the wrong tool to spread floor glue and not having quite enough flooring and not knowing I needed a floor roller. George patiently went to the home supply store to get what was needed and rent the roller. The floor looks great! The other things I asked him to do were pretty easy projects as the lighting and wiring were all in place so it was just a matter of taking down the old lights and replacing them. The same was true for the ceiling fans, the rooms were pre-wired so all he had to do was remove the old light fixtures and install the fans. The bars in the bathroom took a little longer than he planned, but that was because the tile is so hard that it took him a while to drill the holes. All in all, George did a great job and was very professional. After reading the two previous reviews for him I was a little concerned that my jobs would be too small and minor, but that wasn't the case at all. Since I have no family member that I can call on for any and quot;honey doand quot; projects, I really needed someone that would be available for such things. I will certainly be calling on George again as I find other projects I need done. I know he will do a good job no matter what projects I need done.
Description of Work: George replaced two overhead lights with ceiling fans, installed a wall-mount shower curtain and two grab bars in the master bath, replaced a hall light and a kitchen chandelier with fixtures that I liked better, and removed carpeting from a small bedroom and laid wood flooring in place of the carpeting.

Work in the shower appears to be satisfactory. We appreciated George's ability to improvise when it appeared that the space would need a custom installation. The faucet on the back porch--we have had three people try and fail to fix it, but George kept working on it long after the time we agreed he would spend to fix it. He was finally able to rig a solution, but due to a miscommunication between George and the tenants and myself, the final part wasn't acquired for the faucet for a week and a half. George lives something like a hundred miles away so I wouldn't expect him to come back to town just for one part, but I wish I had known and could have sent it along to the tenants sooner. I think George just assumed they could pick it up at a hardware store, bless him. I never get the right thing when I go to a hardware store and I'm sure the tenants are the same, but my husband was able to pick it up and now the faucet works just fine.
Description of Work: George inspected a shower wall unit that was peeling away from the drywall, and gave us his recommendation. He replaced the thing and did some work on the drywall behind it. He also mostly fixed a problematic faucet on the back porch.

I have known George Patee personally and worked with him since I was a teenager here in Denton, Texas in the 1970's. For nearly half a century George Patee has been my and quot;Go-To-Guyand quot; on several projects. I've seen him build a house from the ground up, so he knows everything about construction, both residential AND commercial. He was trained in carpentry in college in Oklahoma, (but I don't hold that against him). In fact, I worked with George building several of the buildings that were destroyed at Selwyn School fire and have seen him since go back to help in the aftermath and recovery efforts. He has come to my aid on many occasions building barns and mending fences, but hist true talent lies in his dependability. Let me put it to you this way: people ask me why I call him, and quot;Colonel Pateeand quot;. It is because he has and quot;Drilledand quot; it into me- and quot;Reid, Do it the Right way or Hit the *@#$ Highwayand quot;. So just stay out of HIS way - George Patee WILL make it Happen ! Reid McDonald Gallop Brothers, Ltd. Co. P. S. He ain't just some Bum from Krum ! (TX)

Through it all, George maintained his professionalism and the end result was a beautiful bathroom with a new tub, plumbing connections, wall tile, and flooring. The clapboard exterior showed no sign of the damage that it had sustained. The job required many skills due to the unusual damage: carpentry, some minor electrical, tile - both floor and wall, plumbing, drywall, texturing, painting, - and maintaining a good relationship with the tenants through the entire process. George handled it all calmly and turned out an excellent product which made everyone happy. .
Description of Work: George Patee has done numerous jobs for us over a period of approximately 2 years - large and small. The first job George did for us was an insurance claim in which a property had been run into by a truck. The entire bathroom, (tub, wall tile, commode, and flooring) was dislocated by the front bumper of the truck. The damaged exterior wall was clapboard. George's bid was extremely reasonable and he jumped on the job quickly to return the bathroom back to good condition - not an easy task due to the extensive damage and the fact that he had to work around the tenants various schedules. He also managed to find the clapboard for the exterior (no easy task) and return the exterior to great condition as well.

The work he does is excellent and I have never been disappointed in his work. He is very creative and makes sure to use all of the materials before throwing any out. He built a shed for me as well that I would use as a tornado shelter it is so sturdy. He has had a lifetime in construction and is very knowledgable. He takes his time with the work but makes sure that it is done to best of his ability and always makes sure the work is done right. Overall a great experience!
Description of Work: He's done everything from rebuilding a home, repaired a beam in my ceiling.
