They were super. John came out to evaluate the job. Hewas honest about the potential for uncovering more work during demo, but luckily that did not occur. His crew showed up on time, they worked from morning until the job was done around dinner time. John came to supervise. They did an excellent job, the porch looks amazing. They were hard workers, polite and good communicators. Would use them again for another job without hesitation.
Description of Work: Front Porch Repair: Replaced deteroriated ceiling, patched & painted. Sealed leaking gutter. Scraped and painted porch ceiling, dental molding, porch siding, and fascia. Replaced a few rotten pieces of porch guardrail. Scraped and painted intricate wood guard rail. Scraped and painted concrete porch floor.

I needed to deal with flood damage quickly before moving into a townhouse, and My Hunny Do came out the day after I called to give me an estimate and, as luck would have it, they had an opening 2 days later to do the work. John quoted me a flat price for the work and material they would provide. Two guys showed up on the designated day, and one got to work setting up while the other headed out for supplies. I went back to work, came back in the afternoon to check on progress; one of the guys' little dog was hanging out on my back patio, which was fine (he was cute and friendly), but kind of an odd surprise. John called me later to let me know the joint compound wasn't drying fast enough, so they needed to come back the next morning to finish -- a lucky bonus to picking the flat rate price. When all was done, I had two pretty good looking solid ceilings (the joints between the patches and the rest of the ceiling are noticeable if you look, but probably to be expected considering the hacksawed way the sections were removed by the flood people). Although they took precautions by hanging plastic sheeting and doing a quick vacuum afterward, I was a little disappointed how much drywall dust I had to clean up before we moved in, even in the farthest parts of my living room away from the kitchen, which stuck pretty good to the hardwood floor. In retrospect, the price seems on the high side for two man-days of semi-skilled labor (assuming the second guy was always around, which wasn't clear), but I needed it done fast and I got it. Random note in the professionalism category -- whenever I called, I always felt like I was interrupting and annoying whomever I got a hold of on their personal cell phone.
Description of Work: Repaired two large (~6'x10') sections of ceiling drywall in the kitchen and the basement rec room that had been removed not-so-neatly due to plumbing leak damage, including re-hanging a pendant light and two smoke detectors; repainted ceilings, applied touch-up paint to walls where required.

Response from Water Heater Man
To our prospective customers: this is another case where we gave the price up front and after the work is completed he says the price was too high which fuels the negative words he desired to write about us. Angies list is a two edged sword sometimes. We deal with many types of people. Some are never happy. While this gentleman says he is generally happy with the work that was done and gives us above average to good grades. We then see that he turns to demeaning us with phrases like Semi skilled labor or saying that we were unprofessional when we answered the phone because he felt we were interrupted or annoyed. That by the way is just an unfortunate product of electronic communication because we never said or did anything inappropriate to this customer! We won't to you either. When you see below that his work included re securing two smoke detectors and a pendant light as well as replacing Sheetrock, taping, finishing, and painting large areas of drywall on ceilings. Judge for yourself whether you would let someone who is semi skilled perform it. We actually have both a professional carpenter, and a professional painter perform this job. I show below what he contracted we usually charge more for this type of job and were having a slow week, we underbid this job by far in the end result Per our quick phone call, I have two ceilings with ugly rectangles cut out of them by ServiceMaster (a small leak had 24 hours to make its way from upstairs bathroom down to the basement). Pictures attached. Kitchen is missing about 4'x11', basement is closer to 5'x12'. Both patches need a smoke detector cutout and in a couple small areas run right up to the corner tape; there's one radiating crack near the ceiling fan that hopefully can be patched; and the kitchen has a pendant light dangling in the void that I think was just mounted with drywall anchors. (I'm not 100% familiar with the townhouse yet, we just bought it and haven't even moved in yet.) To the customer:The remarks about seams showing were unusual because if there was a problem with the quality why am I only hearing about it now. We would have fixed it that day.or soon thereafter with a simple phone call. As far as the dust in your house goes you had said that service master tore down all this drywall which could have also caused the dust and industry standards are that we sweep the area clean where we worked.

Owner provided a written estimate after visiting twice for six small jobs. Work was completed on time, but it was a little messy inside. When I asked the owner for a price difference as the quoted work was not completed per the written estimate for materials and the size of the jobs, he offered me a 2% discount.
Description of Work: Replace/repair gutter, patch ceiling, install two light fixtures in closets, install drain in landscaping, patch patio roof, replace flashing on roof.

To prospective clients: We are a full service professional contractor and give the price up front. You don't need to call the plumber or electrician and then call us to finish the mess they made, we do the job from start to finish. We are attentive to detail and always willing to fix a job if it is not finished properly the first time. What this gentleman did was try to take advantage of us nothing more. We gave him a price and added a material cost on top he haggled about that and we told him we would do the job for the original price quoted and and we would supply the materials. We don't make a habit of doing this. Then he wanted a reimbursement on material costs because he felt he hadn't gotten a fair deal. When you cry foul after you agree to the price up front and then tell the world you weren't happy with the quality, you lose credibility. Also trying to leverage me by threatening a bad report if I don't give you a bigger discount is low brow and speaks to your character sir not ours. If there was a problem with the quality why has it taken almost three months for me to hear about it and then instead of calling me you make a report here? I wish you well in your future endeavours.

I could not be happier with the work performed. John closely inspected the areas to be painted when developing an estimate, something others did not take the time to do. The work was performed two days later. They were there promptly in the a.m. and completed the job in one day. They were polite, thorough and neat. Fabulous job. I will definitely be using them again for other handyman jobs.
Description of Work: Repainted trim around doors and windows, including sidelights for one door and the grid of one large window. Included scraping and repainting rusted metal strips above some windows and replacing the frame around one door. Ladder work required for upper story windows.

My Hunny Do was a class act all the way. They contacted me immediately and gave a fair estimate with 2 options. I chose to go with ??time and materials??, rather than a fixed price, since based on other reviews and my discussion with John, I felt that I could trust them to put in a good day?s work and finish the job as quickly as possible. John?s best guess was at least 2 days? work, with some work on day 3 likely. In the event, it required 3 full days because there was more rotten wood than was apparent. They did a LOT of work in 3 days. The crew that worked on our job seemed highly skilled and were very friendly and easy to communicate with. After they finished, there were 2 small issues that needed to be taken care of, and John and the crew immediately came back the next day and completed them to my full satisfaction.
Description of Work: The job was to replace a considerable amount of siding that had rotted over time, fix one spot on the roof that had rotted, and re-paint.

I waited over one month to write this. I am still angry. The Hunny Do technicians were on time, polite, and neat. My renters are very pleased with their work. They replaced the broken items I asked them to repair. However, as the landlord, I am not pleased. I still do not know what products they installed. I did not receive an itemized statement of work. Their bills was "bedroom fan $175, bathroom fan $175, GFCI $175". What are the type of fans they installed? Their technician said all documentation on the items they installed was destroyed (boxes and manuals). I have no idea of what they installed. As the landlord, I want more information for historical documentation and taxes. In addition, they did not install the bedroom fan we had agreed on by email. I sent model/make and received a positive email from the technician that implied he was at the store to purchase the item I sent to him. After I discovered that the fan installed was not the fan we agreed would be installed, they offered to install the "agreed upon fan" for free if I bought the fan and had it delivered to the property. That is a very noble offer, but I do not think I will use them again. I think they tried to get over and were caught. Although they were punctual, polite, and neat, I feel they installed a cheaper product(s) in my house and charged premium prices.

We charge $79 for trips to the store to get materials. We did not charge you this fee. You picked a model of ceiling fan off of Home Depots website that clearly said not available in store. We bought a comparable model and charged you accordingly. We did nothing to deceive you. You paid a fair price for the work which was done. We gave the price up front. How can you now act as though you were cheated?

We had a sticky situation with a leaky jacuzzi tub which we wanted replaced with a conventional corner tub. Walter's team was the most responsive and were competitive in pricing. Best of all, they said they could do the job the way we wanted it, and did not try to sell us on bad alternatives, like other contractors did. Hunny do are good craftsmen, and finished the job on time, and worked with us to schedule the job within a reasonable timeframr. Walter even inspected the first tub we ordered and found a crack, leading to us ordering a second tub and returning the first. Best of all, Hunny Do does everything - plumbers, caprenters, electric - so you don't have to run around and find 4 different companies to do one job. Highly recommend.

They were very responsive to e-mail and responsive to a quote. The quote was very high.

I met with Walter several weeks ago and he looked at my building plan. I explained to him i had to get the building permit and HOA approval before we could start building the deck. He was very flexible in scheduling my build to accommodate those processes. Once I had all of the approvals he worked out a pretty quick timeline to get the guys on site to start working. I had the materials delivered and his team showed up to start putting in the holes so they could be inspected. The building inspectors that came by had no questions and were quick to give approvals. The project went great and the deck is better than i hoped for. The team working on the deck were meticulous in measuring, checking level, and other key things you see with true craftsmen. After looking at the workmanship and quality of my deck two of my neighbors have already asked for My Hunny Do's contact information. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

The project was done as contracted. The quality was good, but what made the overall quality a "B" was two things. 1) When they made the cut in the wall to add the switch, they cut too much and even after putting the switch cover, you still see the hole, so I need to fill it up. They told me that if I update the cover to the modern cover, it would cover the hole, but unfortunately it didn't. 2) They forgot to add one of the outlets so we called them up to add it. They came, but they tried to use the 14 gauge for the outlet when they are supposed to use 12 gauge. My dad was there and he caught them trying to cut corners. We use that outlet to plug the microwave and using 14 gauge might cause issues. One thing I wasn't happy is that they never call back when they say they will.
Description of Work: Removed the wall partially and relocated 3 outlets and 1 switch. In addition, the wall was reconstructed with drywall and plaster. The wall was also primed.

The plumber did an excellent job installing the sink. I was told the price above and beyond the discount price ahead of time. After the plumber arrived, the plumber indicated to me that since he had to adjust the drain about an half inch, it would cost me more. I indicated that this should have been included in the price of installing the sink. The plumber was approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hour late for the appointment. The $170 was the amount above the amount paid for the coupon.

So you got your sink, faucet installed and we moved the drain over for $170 plus the $119 you paid for the coupon. That's a total of $289 I challenge you to find another plumber who does this for less. Moving the drain alone would have been $300 at normal plumbers rates. We gave you a great deal!

Was in a jam, left a message early Thursday morning to see if work could be done Friday morning. Called me back within five minutes, understood the urgency (for health reasons, truly did need the A/C unit installed) and agreed to come Friday morning before I had to leave for a doctor's appointment. The owner, Walter, called at 9:30 and told me the worker was on his way. He arrived 20 minutes later and immediately got to work. Very nice, responsible young man. Obviously knew what he was doing but still took the time to read through the instruction booklet which I appreciated. He was very exact, even though it only had to be adjusted 1/4" of an inch, he wanted perfection. He was done in 40 minutes, left no mess, told me if I have any problems to let them know and they'll take care of. This window A/C unit is the BEST I've ever had installed. We've had heavy rains and there is no leakage. There is absolutely no vibration. Unit was perfectly installed. My Hunny Do is an excellent, professional operation.

I purchased 2 hours of plumbing services for $119. Provider was able to schedule to come over to provide estimate on my next day off. I explained what i needed done and they explained what they needed to do in order to meet the request and the time it would take and the additional cost - they had to cut wall in order to replace front outdoor faucet and washer faucets. We agreed on the work they would do and the total cost. They were then able to schedule the service day on my next day off. Plumber arrived and brought paper shoe covers, very considerate of keeping my home clean. He did not have to turn off main water, was at my home most of the business day, did the agreed upon work and where he had to cut the drywall in the front entry area in order to access the front outdoor faucet looks great! Also, the drywall that had to be cut in order to replace he leaking washer faucets looks great! Estimate was $950 for all the work, minus $200 that I paid $119 for!
