Description of Work: Russ was great to work with. He did roof repair work that was excellent. As a "handyman" he can tackle lots of variety around the home, so we are in the process of having him work up more substantial renovation proposals for our home.

Response from Russell M Smith Construction Inc
Thanks for your business. I am very happy that we found the cause of the water leak that was coming in the ridge vent and the skylights.we removed the skylights and the ridge vent to fix the problem. It looked like there had been many attempts to fix the water leak before we started you repair. We have been doing this type of roofing work for about 30 years and my guys are some of the best in the business. I am very lucky to have them working for me all these years. We replaced the ceiling in the sun room after removing that old tile ceiling tiles that had been glued and stapled in place.That took almost a day to complete and we kept to the budget. And installed the new drywall ceiling and finished so you could not tell it had ever been worked on.I was very happy to help you get this done and will work for you any time you need us. Thanks Again Happy Holidays !!!! Russ Smith

Russ was very responsive and came to the house the same day we called. The estimate was right on! The work was done efficiently and on time. The crew cleaned up thoroughly when the job was complete. We would certainly recommend Russ to others for quality, timeliness and price.

Russ was able to offer several courses of action based on price and longevity of the finished project. He fully explained the advantages and disadvantages of all the options. Like many homes, ours has certain "features" (READ anomalies due to poor construction decisions when the home was built) that posed challenges to fixing the issues at hand. Overall Russ was able to save the windows and thus save us over $5,000. We found Russ on Angie's list several years ago. He came with a very high rating so we decided to give him a try. Some key points I would like to highlight are: Russ is very responsive. He returns phone call and email promptly Russ is very upfront about pricing. He is a stickler for quality. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. He is very professional and courteous. We plan on using his services for all home repair in the future. In the end, you get what you pay for. We are very happy with Russ Smith.
Description of Work: We have a bump-out window that extends two floors. There was extensive wood rot that needed to be addressed.

I purchased a Big Deal coupon in April (Order #1181740). Expecting the job to not be much more than the 4 hours that I purchased for $149, I was surprised that the estimate included another $800+ of work on top of the promo. Yesterday, I had another company (also found on Angie's List) come out and give an estimate. Their rate was less than half of the original one from Russell Smith.

When I went out to look at the scope of work that needed to be done there was a lot of wood rot behind the bushes that the home owner did not know about or at least he looked like he didn't know about it.There are a lot of people around here that really don't know how to take care of there home and when they find out that the neglect has caught up with them and it needs to be repaired. They see deals like this on Angie's list and they think they can get the whole house repaired for $149.00. There are a lot of guys around here that work out of the trunk of there cars and think that they are a carpenters. So you get what you pay for..... My estimate was @ a handy man rate of $95.00 an hour for a class A general contractor to do finish carpenter work. We also gave you a ball park price to use composite/pvc materials. I can't say if the people that you found are as Qualified as my Company or if their Insurance and licensing is up to date. Or if they will use the same type of materials. You get what you Pay For.....Best of luck and thanks for your input.

As always, Russ is very responsive to our calls. When we called about the garage door he said he would be by to look at it, which he did and he fixed it. He didn't charge me to come the house or for fixing it because it was not a major job. He could have charged me to do the small adjustment he did, but he didn't. I really enjoy working with him and he is always the first person I call when I need something done.
Description of Work: We had been having problems with my garage door. I contacted Russ and he came out and got it working and didn't charge me for it. He came out the same day I called him.

The work was done as requested on the day they stated, but the had to come back to finish up the next day. The work looks great and I would use them again, but I thought the estimate was a little high for the amount of work to be done. I was told it would be an all day job. I guess the materials were at a higher cost than we assumed and we bought our own paint. We had budgeted about $1,000 to include one other area in addition to the work performed, but after that job cost as much as it did we elected to wait and have the other work done later.
Description of Work: Reattached a gutter downspout that had detached from the house and replaced a door trim that had some rotted wood on one side.

He indicated it would take him all day and I would receive a $150 credit for the coupon. In my opinion this is an unreasonable estimate and his offer to credit me $150 for the coupon is not in the spirit of the coupon which is for 4 hours of labor. The provider was very prompt and courteous but way way overpriced.
Description of Work: Provider gave estimate of $3000 to replace 3 pieces of 44" long wood rot because it is on the 2nd story of the house.

Response from Russell M Smith Construction Inc
Wow It is funny how people think it is so easy to work 24 feet high on a ladder.This job was not just replacing one piece of wood.It was a complete cornice with crown molding and two large blocks of wood that were nailed to the brick.I would have needed to use a man lift to be able to remove the piece safely because of all the pulling and prying to remove the pieces.It would be very dangerous and you could fall very easily on to the concrete drive way 24ft below.I would have to rebuild them on the ground cut all the crown molding reassemble and paint them .It also had no metal cap on top that needed to be installed to keep it from rotting out again.If you break it down the lift would cost about $700.00 for the day plus delivery and pickup $250.00. The materials would cost around$800.00 for all composite/pvc stock so it would not rot out again It would take a very good carpenter and metal guy to put this all together and reattach to the brick face so $1750.00 for the lift and materials leaves $1450.00 for two guys to work all day that would be less than handyman rates and a handyman could not do this kind of work. If the homeowner had read the big deal fine print he would have seen that any repair about one story would not be covered on this deal. I also gave him another option to just repair and paint and install a new metal cap to keep it from rotting out again for half the price.I guess he just wanted it done for the $150 big deal price and I told him he could get a refund because the big deal didn't apply for two story work.Coupons don't have a spirit to them they are fact....People that don't understand or have any clue about how to work or take care of a home should not try to learn about it in ten minuets on the internet and think they know it all....And then just go try to trash a Professional like my self that has 30 years in the business and would try to help anyone any time to get things fixed correctly.I didn't have to even credit $ 150 in the job because it was not included but being the nice guy that I am I was trying to help him save his $150.For all that time spent estimating the job and giving him options. He gives me a C rating and says I am way to expensive.I am one of the best "A" class GENERAL CONTRACTORS in Northern Virginia and people like this should be happy that people like myself are still here to do work like this just look at the rest of my references on here ALL "A" and that is that way I want to keep it if he had a problem understanding how much it cost we could have talked about it so he could understand but instead he just he just gave me a bad review and there was never any WORK DONE !!!!! I am so easy to talk to but some people don't know how to communicate so they get on the computer and make a fool out of themselves in public.So people you just can't help. Sorry that you don't understand or communicate very well.....I hope you have better luck next time Angies List is a great co and they do a Great job helping people get things done.

The project went very well. We did have unexpected findings during the job which cost more and an extra day. He picked up the door for us at Home Depot and disposed of the old door. He was very professional, easy to work with, and pointed out other potential problems that we hadn't noticed and helped arrange for the other work. The door looks great!

Before I purchased this, I called to confirm that there would be an inspection and a de-stink. If there was a need, they would do a service. If there wasn't a need, they would do a preventative. They came for less than 5 minutes, sent me an email with a quote of more than $1000. He didn't do anything. I am now getting a refund through Angie's List for this deal.

Response from Russell M Smith Construction Inc
I would like to set the record straight.I never told anyone that we would do any treatment for anything.I told her this is just for inspection only.The house is in need of a lot of repairs. I gave her an estimate for and tried to contact her by phone and email she never returned any of my calls.I think this is a big miss understanding.I was also at her house for about 45 minutes taking pictures and working on an estimate.I would never treat any one this way. I am shocked that she would say the things she has said about me and my co.If she had read the info she would have known that this was for inspection only.I think I woke her up when I got there at 11:00 am that was the time she wanted me there. I could not get into the attic because it was locked and she could not find the keys that is a big part of our inspection that I could not do.look at all my other reviews how is this possible that she is the only one that had a problem over $85.00 dollars. If she would have returned my calls and talked to me about this I would have refunded her money.I was never given a chance talk to her about this.The first thing I know is the review she wrote.I have never in thirty years had anything like this been said about myself or my co.I am very sorry that she miss understood what she was getting I think there was a language problem.But I tried my best like always. Some people you just can't make happy and I guess one in thirty years is not to bad.Thanks for reading the truth about this customer. Russ Smith Owner/Pres

Russ is a great guy. He is honest and up front and doesn't try to take advantage of a person. He doesn't bully or pressure you into work. He is also very responsive.
Description of Work: Russ installed a drip edge on my roof, screened off gable vents to eradicate the pest infestation. Since installing the drip edge and screening the vents, I have not had any pests. He also made repairs to my roof. The last job he did was to repair holes that were in my wall.

This was an awesome experience from start to finish. All work was was completed on time and any changes in schedule were communicated well in advance (had to watch for a sunny day to perform the work). When the work was completed you would never have guessed I had a roofing job done as there was not one nail or any trash left behind. Russ stayed in communication to ensure the workers were there on time and doing what was expected. Quality was very important to Russ. True customer service not found often in the world today. I would engage him for other projects I have and recommend him to others.
