Never received a call from this person. Done with Angies list. I gave him my phone number, but never a response. UPDATE AS OF 11.13.2019: He never contacted me except to text me nasty tirade 2-3 times as I gave him an F. Tried to leave voice mail but voice mail was full. I need to report him to BBB. I hoped with Angies List this would not happen. What is Angies List doing to handle this?

Response from The Maintenance Man
I replied with in 24 hours . i sent a message thru angies list for them to text me with my number. they didnt do that. they sent another message thru angies list for me to call them. does pizza hut call their customers to see if they want a pizza? I told them to call me first and they didnt do it so i get the F? This person is what is wrong with america today. A real troll.

This job is not what Mark does but he was very willing to help me out since there is no one listed with Angie’s List who remove junk. When he came to give me an estimate and discussed what the job entailed, we decided this was not a fit for his help. I have his card for any future handyman needs. I believe Mark is an honest, caring man and a professional and will call him in the future as well as refer him to friends who need a handyman.
Description of Work: I need storage buildings cleaned up and the junk carried off.

I can give Mr. Mark Gorton my highest recommendation. 1. He answered my call immediately. 2. Discussed the necessary repairs. 3. Viewed photos of the door, sent via text. Provided an estimate within minutes. 4. Made an appointment for 3 days later and arrived on time. 5. Installed a new wood door jam, rehung the glass door, with frame & installed new doorbell. 6. Results were excellent. Both wood and glass doors fit perfectly. 7. Repairs performed in a timely manner, all debris was removed and a receipt provided. It just doesn't get any better than that!

This is the second time that we have hired Mark to install a mailbox for us. (We live in a rural area, where mailboxes get destroyed by vandals). He dug up the old mailbox post (which was not easy, as it was cemented into the ground). I purchased the mailbox and post. He un-boxed and assembled them & concreted the new post into the ground. (He supplied the concrete also). He is quick, knowledgeable, friendly, seems honest, and reasonably priced. I always feel like his work is worth more than what he charges, so I always pay him extra. Will definitely be calling on him again for future household repairs.

mailbox repair

We purchased the mail box, pole and quick set, and had it ready. Mr. Gorton was on time, and went to work immediately after he arrived. It took him little time to remove the old box, and he quickly set about to put the new pole in place, attach a platform to the pole, and the box to the platform. It was obvious that Mr. Gorton had done this before. He also asked if we had address numbers to put on the box; we had not thought of that detail but found some later that day and put them on. We have needed a new box for some time and are very glad we found Mr. Gorton, The Maintenance Man, to get the new mailbox in place. It looks great. Another point, Mr. Gorton took the old mailbox away which was helpful. Thanks to Angie's List for the referral.

He showed up first thing this morning and began troubleshooting my fridge not cooling. Took several steps to track the problem and explained what the problem could be. Spent from 9AM till 3PM until he was ale to eliminate all the expense stuff. The control module was found to have been messed up from power surge from recent storms. Replaced the module which only cost $80. I was very happy with the service. Most places will try to charge you 150 for a new compressor, etc, etc. As always he went above and beyond what anyone would have.
