We explained our intent for painting was based on repairing the cracks in the ceiling. John assured us that he could patch the cracks so they would not be noticeable and stated "Oh that is easy, it's just a common drag texture". After texture, prime and painted, we said that it was not to our satisfaction and still visible, John became very agitated/frustrated and paced the floor, almost child-like. He complained the job took longer than he anticipated and didn't want to rent another hopper to texture again. He bought a can of texture and tried to somewhat improve the areas. Still under par, we settled for a slightly reduced price. A review of the job after they left, we found paint on ceiling fans & light fixtures, dripped paint on our curtain and down the walls. I do not recall seeing his workers sand the crown molding before applying the oil based paint, which is generally a standard procedure for painters. It is a shame that his behavior did not reflect his faith, which he shared with us. We did not feel that he wanted to make the job right, negating "All Work Guaranteed" Please note: his workers were very hardworking and courteous.
Description of Work: Primed, painted and patched ceiling in three rooms. Also painted crown molding from entry to back family den. Estimated completion time was 3-4 days. Job was completed in 5 days. Work began approx. 9am-4 each day.

This is nothing more than a perfect example of somebody wanting something for nothing. We did everything that was expected of us but this person was a micro manager on steroids whose mission was to find fault in every minute detail. In the end I told them they could pay whatever they wanted to because this job was not worth the stress. Some people are just never satisfied.

John texted me when he was on his way and installed the led light fixture successfully. I saved money purchasing myself and having John install it.
Description of Work: The florescent lights went out in the kitchen. When I called John he recommended that I purchase a new led light kit and he would install it. The led will save money.

I told him I'm a list lady and he quickly that out so when he comes he asks me "What's on the list?" He works all day on my list for 7 hours, then I pay him for the day and then I assess my money situation so I call him once I have the payment. He charges $62.50 an hour.
Description of Work: He replaced the whole light fixture in the bathroom, he took down a door and sanded it down and installed a new door knob for me and he trimmed out the grand closet and there's a door that goes from the dining room to the living room that he finished yesterday.

First time out we had some patio lights replaced. The second time he painted some cabinets, drilled weep holes on the exterior of our home, installed a dedicated 20 amp outlet and braced an aging rail on our deck. All work was top notch.

The job went very smoothly. John arrived ready to work and did everything we had talked about plus some additional repair required to one of our outdoor ceiling fans. John also provided us with a quote for our potential master bathroom remodel. He walked us through each item on our checklist and cleaned up behind himself. We are grateful we found someone to help us out around the house.

Improved Homes 4 You came out to assess the situation and agreed to replace my 150 amp breaker with a 200 amp unit. However, he went to one store to look for the parts he would need and determined he was unable to find those parts. I was able to find the parts required online within a few minutes. At that point, I decided he was no qualified to do the work.

No one ever called me. I now have some insight into how they run their business, which is probably reflected in the quality of their work. I'm glad I'm not using Improving Homes 4 You. There are several other companies who have been very responsive to my needs.
Description of Work: I called this company on December 1, 2015. I got their voicemail, so I left a message describing the painting work I needed, and asking someone to please call me so we could set a time for an estimate.

Please accept my sincere apologies for not responding in a timely fashion. At the time we were backlogged with work and in the middle of relocating from Nashville to Austin. You can see by my other reviews that we are reliable and do quality work. I look forward to doing more jobs for the fine members of Angie's List in the Austin area. Thank you

Talked to the guy September 16. He said he was a couple of weeks behind & asked me to text him contact info. I did so immediately after the call. After no response I texted again on September 28. No response. Texted again on October 7. He responded that he was 6 weeks out. I understand commitments, but he could have told me this when I contacted him 3 weeks prior. In my view very unprofessional. But that seems to be a common theme for Angie's list.

Well, sadly, this is true. We found ourselves back-logged and then suddenly under staffed Still trying to catch up. I told him it was my bad and that I dropped the ball and apologized We never did any work for him One thing I have learned over time is: Finish the commitments you have first before moving on to another commitment. Otherwise you get over stretched and satisfy nobody Thank you for understanding John

It has gone very well so far. Dependable, clean, efficient, professional. Looking forward to his work in our bathroom later this month. We've been able to be a bit flexible with his schedule. His workload increased with his listing in Angie's List; seems he's very popular. We recommend John.
Description of Work: 2 phases, one is done. He helped us install new lights in foyer and hallway and removed drop ceiling in kitchen and rewire for new ceiling lites there. Phase 2 will start in a week or so, and that is the plumbing project. He is now working for our neighbors upstairs and they like his work too.

The basketball equipment removal and the mailbox went fine. Pressure washing the house and fence were OK except that they got too close to the fence with the pressure washer in several places and damaged the wood. Mud had splashed up and dried on the fence during the washing and I was disappointed that they STAINED OVER the mud rather than brushing it off with a broom. They also stained over cocoons that were on the fence. So, I think small jobs are perfect for them. John and Ryan are very nice, punctual, and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Removed basketball hoop and pole, dug hole for new mailbox and cemented it in, pressure-washed wood fence and house and stained wood fence.
