Arlington Home Service

Description of Work: He gave me an estimate. Very nice and professional and knowledgeable. I got a slightly better price from another contractor.

Description of Work: He took down the old shutters and replaced them with the new ones I bought.

Description of Work: We were very pleased with the service, which included refinishing our basement laundry room and a few other things like putting in recessed lights in rec room and installing ceiling fans in bedrooms. The basement job was tricky because of low ceiling and ductwork, pipes and wires to work around. Also required moving a laundry sink to the opposite side of the wall into the unfinished part of basement. The job involved plumbing, electrical, drywall and installing floor tiles. The owner, Chris, called us right back when we requested an estimate and came out in a few days. He gave us a firm start date approximately a month later. The worker he sent over was named Dan and he was great. He did a very good job and was creative and resourceful in working around the several obstacles in the basement laundry room, so that the finished product was even better than we had expected. When the job ended up taking longer to finish than Chris had estimated, he was very apologetic and declined to charge us for an interior door and its installation which we had added to the project. Dan also corrected any imperfections we pointed out. We would definitely use the company again, and had intended to during the summer, but apparently Chris lost an employee and was short-staffed. We tried to set something up on a few occasions by email, and Chris responded and indicated that he'd get back to us, but never would, so we finally gave up.

Additionally, resculpted some molding around a door that was crooked, plus repaired molding around another window. Painted both. Rerouted downspout that had caused the problem.

Description of Work: The arrived the first day and each consecutive day on time. They started and worked through each day stopping only for lunch. Service was professional, clean, and complete. Contractor was ready to do additional work large and small. He provided his professional opinion on work issues and where he believed appropriate, recommended that I did or (equally important) did not do something as it was too early or not necessary. I was able to delete projects that I did not want to go forward with. Where I asked him to look at something after the job was done, he came back to look at it. Overall it was a positive work experience.

The job was to tear down the existing cabinets and replace them with some pre-made cabinets we bought from Lowe's. Though I'm very handy myself, I had never done this kind of job before and needed a more experienced handyman to help me out with the work. Chris Lamar, the owner of the company, was referred to me by a friend, and after talking to him for a bit I felt very comfortable with his rates and in using his services.
