Had called three contractors for bids. The first guy didn't show for his appt. and did not call or return my call. The next two showed up on time and gave virtually the same bid, but this outfit could come earlier. They were here the next week with two people. I was amazed that the two of them were able to replace those large 4x4's within a few minutes. Impressive. They worked for most of the day and then cleaned up and did the power washing and were out of here by 5. They were on time, friendly, competent, and I am ready to use them again.
Description of Work: We had several porch railings replaced as well as three support beams for the porch roof. The porch railings were disassembled and repaired and replaced. We also had siding and window framing replaced where the sun and rain had started to rot it on one window. They also power washed the deck and two small flights of wooden steps. Made them look like new wood.

Response from Old Fashion Handyman
I do apologize for the inconvenience, though I did not recieve the call on my phone. I cannot help how sprint works or if my phone is having problems. I go through about 5 phones a year due to the kind of work that I do........they get wet, I drop it, and it goes through a lot of punishment. I am very sorry that you are unhappy that I did not get back with you. I hope that you have found someone that will do as good of a job as I do, for I value my work ethics and all my customers. Once again I do apologize for the incovenience that i have caused you..

He was punctual, curteous, did good work and charged a fair price. However, he smokes cigarettes, and anyone who may be sensitive to the smell of cigarette smoke does not want him in their home. He left a trail of smoke smell wherever he went, and even smoked one while taking a break outside our house. He did take the butt with him, which was the only good thing about his smoking.
Description of Work: Changed fixtures on sink & garden tub (I had purchased fixtures) repaired one bathroom faucet (I had purchased repair kit), replaced toilet fixtures (I had purchased toilet kit). After he left, the toilet was running after flushing. When I called him, he told me how to perform some adjustments to fix the problem. His suggestions did not fix the problem, but I discovered that the pressure was too great, and when I partially closed the inlet valve the problem was solved.

Handyman was very puctual. He brought all materials needed to finish the job. It had been a pretty windy couple of days; so, his work was constantly interupted. It actually took a few days longer to complete. In the end, my fence looks great. I live on the corner. So, i got a lot of complements aout the work.
Description of Work: Repaired my fence. Removed warped planks and added re-enforcement to prevent future warping. Power washed and stained the fence.

Mr. Perkis arrived on time and surveyed the area on the roof of the addition in question. Mr. Perkis took pictures of the damaged area with his phone to show my Mother-in-law the problem and explained that caulking would solve the problem. After the explanation and receiving approval from my Mother-In-law Mr. Perkis proceeded with the repair. As Mr. Perkis was preparing to leave my Mother-in-law noticed the front door of her home was sticking and asked Mr. Perkis if he could take a look at it. Mr. Perkis adjusted the door so it wouldn't stick. My Mother-In-Law was very pleased with Mr. Perkis from Old Fashion Handyman service and would gladly use them again.
Description of Work: Service request was to patch a leak on the roof of a porch addition.

I was just going through the list and he was fairly close. He had a lot of good comments about his reasonable price and him being very professional. Therefore I decided to call him. The quote was fine and he did a good job. It took me two phone calls to get him out here. He was professional. I would consider using his services again in the future.
Description of Work: I got a quote from Old Fashion Handyman. I did not use his services. He came out about a month or so ago to give me the quote. He was going to caulk the bathrooms and do some handymen work around the house. He was also going to fix some cabinets and do some drywall work. There are a lot of little jobs that has to be done.

On 15 Mar 10, I contacted Rick Perkis to see about tearing out an old deck and building a new one. He came and took measurements and called back with an estimate on 17 Mar 2010 ($1,615.00). He said he could do the work on 24 Mar. I accepted the estimate and gave him the go ahead. On 22 Mar he called and wanted some financial help before he commenced with the work. I refused as I have been burned before. He called later that day to see if I could at least pay for the lumber. At this point I told him to forget the whole thing. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME i HAVE SUBMITTED THIS REPORT. tHE FIRST BEING 27 MAR 10. I subsequently contracted with "Quality Custom Decks" (7 Apr 10) to do the job. I was very pleased with their work but it took quite awhile to get started.
Description of Work: Did not provide any service other than an estimate. This is a second report I have submitted. The first being 3/27/2010.

Response from Old Fashion Handyman
I spoke with the member about this project and had asked him for material monies. I told him I would buy the materials and take them to his house the same day and he refused to finance any upfront cost. I suggested he go to Lowes or Home Depot with list of materials and pay for them and I will pick them up myself. He would not do this either. I am glad he found someone to complete this project and hope that all turned out the way he wanted.

I found the company "Old Fashioned Handyman" on Angie's list, and gave him a call asking him to come out and take a look at the situation to see if he could fix it. He did come out, and said he could roof the area in for me. (It forms a kind of porch at the front door). He and a helper came back on the day agreed upon - got a lot of work done, then came back the next day to finish up and paint. He matched the roofing material very well, sealed it against leakage, then painted it to match the house. He and his helper did a good job, and were very pleasant and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Filled in the roof area between my house and the garage - There was an indention of approximately 6'x3' that he roofed over to make it a part of the whole house. He also put a latch on my gate.

. They did excellent job. The only thing they could have done better is to clean up a little bit better. I always used the vacuum cleaner to pick up the dry wall stuff that comes out. The workmanship was good. They did a good job. They did everything the way we wanted it. My neighbour wanted him to come in and do some work for him and they might give him another job. Some of the tar boards that builder put up had come loose. So they refitted the tar boards, also put a glass board on the outside of our sunken tub where the shower is. Then my husband had him put up some gadgets. When it rains he can look at this little gadget and find out how much of rain has gone and also registers the temperature outside. I had a local company come and do minor things for me and he was quite a bit more expensive. I will have several other jobs for him to do.
Description of Work: I used the OLD FASHION HANDYMAN to refix some tar boards, cleaned the gutters and put up some gadgets. .

Richard was able to do the work a few days after my telephone contact. He is professional, polite and knows what he is doing. His hourly rate is quite reasonable. He will be returning next week to complete another list of small jobs. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Richard was able to do a long list of home repairs including hanging drapes, putting up shelves, replace shower head, fix a light plug, repair the wall mount for the television and a long list of minor repairs.

Response from Old Fashion Handyman
I deeply apologize for not getting back with you over the weekend. I had a family emergency that took me through the weekend. I did not in any way ignore you, I was thinking about the issue at hand with my brother. If you still need the work done please call me and I will take care of what needs to be done. Once again I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I would definitely recommend him! He was prompt to call AND he didn't require any downpayment until we were completely satisfied with his work! Imagine that? He completed the job in 3 days and did a fantastic job! My bedroom was painted a dark blue (almost black) and now its a pastel color with no left over dark color! He even moved my heavy bedroom furniture. The kitchen looks like new. He called me to make sure that I wanted certain things done before he did it. He even let my dogs out when they went to the door. Now how's that for a job well done? Now I'm looking around my house for more jobs to get done...Hire him! He is honest, trustworthy and a fantastic handyman. I must add also he had a helper with him that was so very good also.
Description of Work: Rick painted my bedroom, textured and painted kitchen. We had him seal all along the edge of the granite backsplash and paint. Fill in holes, take out and fill an extra phone line connection that we didn't want. We also had a crack in the celling that he fixed. Moved my microwave 4-5 inches to the level of the cabinets and reconfigured the cabinet above the microwave to match the smaller size. He actually build a new cabinet for me!
