Description of Work: Sam did outstanding work at a very reasonable price. He worked on both the half bathroom to add bead board and put in a vanity. Additionally he worked on building a custom closet for my wife that would have been extremely expensive going through something similar to the container store. He was able to do the closet for plans that we found on the internet very reasonably. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a handy man.

Description of Work: I gave him a list of items to complete beforehand and he was completely prepared when he arrived. Before his visit he asked questions and suggested items for me to get before his appointment time thereby saving time on the day of which is great since he charges by the hour. Went out of his way to complete each task, again making suggestions to improve upon what I asked him to do. |He hung hooks in the garage and created a hanging space (and hung the items) for my shovels, brooms, etc...), replaced a shower part to stop a drip, hung baby gates, installed an elfa shelving system, attached a strap to secure TV to console and secured a fire place screen so kids can't pull it down. Oh, he also picked up the hooks before he arrived in case I didn't find the right ones. |

Description of Work: Sam Axton is an absolute pro. He can repair anything. He fixed doors, windows, fence gates (including hand carving the top of a new post to match the old ones), lights, outlets, and rotted wood on the front stoop, which he made look like new. Get that long list of small annoyances around the house that you either don't want to or don't know how to fix and call Sam. Highly recommended.

He did a great job with all of the tasks we set before him. The caulking looks great, and I have high hopes it will last and prevent the leaks we had been seeing. He found another possible issue while he was investigating the shower leak, and may have resolved it. He repaired all the electrical items he could do properly, and helped our electrician when the job got too complex. Calling for the expert in that case was absolutely warranted, as the electrician found that the original installation had been horribly botched. Overall, Sam did a great job, and we will absolutely use him again. His rates are more than fair, he gave us suggestions but listened to our preferences, called me whenever he needed a decision made, and really could not have been more pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: We asked Sam to come and look at our bathroom fans, repair/replace some caulking in one bathroom, fix a few outlets, and figure out why a 3-way switch wasn't working properly.

I had an on-going battle with a squeaky sub-floor which I really wanted to fix before installing my bamboo floors. It took me 2 nights and consecutive screwing and removal of all screws and re-screwing the floor to figure that the problem lies underneath the subfloor. Scheduling a time with Sam was a breeze. He was on time, veryknowledgeable, and willing to teach me all about floors in general. He was uncertain about the type of floor joist my house has (they type with all truss structures rather than the simple joist) but he was committed in making it work. I would have stayed and learn from him, but unfortunately I have a couple of important meetings i had to attend. I asked Sam to take some pictures for me so that I can understand and learn from the experience, and he obliged and I got many good pictures, complete with an explanation for most of them. A couple of hours later, he fixed the issue. When I went home the next day, the floor were NOT SQUEAKING! And to add on to that, Sam also went around the new board and personally drove in the screw heads so that I would have a easier time installing my hardwood floor. The areawas clean, and the leftover piece of subfloor was left neatly stacked in our garage. Overall, he is very knowledgeable, willing to share, and very professional. Very easy-going guy. Definitely a good find and I would use his services again.
Description of Work: Repaired squeaky floor joist by isolating the rootcause, removing sub floor, and reattaching a new piece of subfloor

Sam Axton has done many handyman jobs for me in the past and each time he arrives on time and works steadily through the day. He is always professional and his work is excellent. He is cautious when bringing in his tools and always cleans up after the jobs. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam to others.

From start to finish, Mr. Axton was extremely helpful, responsive, and professional in all his dealings with us.
Description of Work: Mr. Axton advised us on selecting appropriate flooring for our remodeled kitchen, and then proceeded with installation of a new subloor and Forbo Marmoleum (linoleum sheet) resilient flooring. He also provided samples of shoe molding prior to installation, so that we could select the best match to our new kitchen cabinets. In addition, as part of the job, he designed and provided a thin board (fiberboard) platform and removable "runway" to allow for safe movement of the refrigerator over the new flooring.

Description of Work: Sam helped with several home improvement tasks including siding repair, flashing, and bath fan installation. Sam was very knowlegeable, honest, and accomodating, and made the extra effort to do things right as opposed to quickly.

Sam Axton was referred to me by another highly rated Angie's list Handman service that was unable to get me on their schedule prior to our son's wedding. Fortunately, Sam accommodated our last minute request due to our son's upcoming wedding and was able to squeeze us into his schedule. Our guest bathroom had undergone a semi-renovation and I needed someone to come in and put things back together - faucet, towel bars, lighting fixture, etc. Sam was prompt, extremely personable and easy to talk to. He understood when I told him I was very picky. He discussed placement of certain items with me before the work was done to ensure that he and I were both on the same page. I would highly recommend Sam Axton and certainly plan to use him again. This was our first experience using a handyman service and I can tell you it won't be our last. My husband and I both work and realize that there are only so many hours in a day and sometimes you just need to call in help. I'd also like to say that upon entering our home, Sam noticed that our hardwood floors were slightly cupped - something that we had not noticed. He highly recommended we install a dehumidifier in our basement which would correct the problem and we immediately took action on that recommendation.
Description of Work: Sam installed a bathroom fixture, new faucet, towel bars, toilet seat. He also installed a mailbox as well.

Mr. Axton's work was done with extreme care and precision, . He did an immaculate job of cleaning up after his work. H was most helpful in moving furniture . His attention to detail is best evidenced by the fact that when he was all finished, had loaded up his truck and been paid, he was crawling along the floor cheking to see that there was no residue of glue on the boards.
Description of Work: Mr. Axton installed engineered hardwood flooring in our family room and hall on a cement slab.

Overall, it was a great value for what we needed to get done. I highly recommend his handyman services, and I plan on contacting him again in the future for additional projects.
Description of Work: I was referred to Sam Axton from a friend. I hired him for handyman services to work on a kitchen cabinet repair, removal and installation of a new bathroom medicine cabinet, installation of bathroom lighting fixtures, and installation of bathroom towel holders. Sam was extremely professional, courteous, and prompt. I showed him the areas that I needed the work on, and he was quick to handle the different projects. I felt confident with his work product. Additionally, he showed a keen attention to detail with some of the bathroom work, and he was able to spot some issues that I had not considered. He also was able to assist me with instruction on some cosmetic improvements that I could make on my own regarding wall sanding and matching paint colors. Overall, it was a great value for what I needed to get done. I highly recommend his handyman services, and I plan on contacting him again in the future for additional projects.

My experience with Axton Floors and Handyman Services was flawless. Sam Axton, the owner of Axton Floors and Handyman Services, arrived on-time, and the worksite was ready to go as he had provided written instructions on how best to prepare for the services he was delivering. This helped both of us maximize our time, and frankly allowed for my wife to trust me to manage the installation on my own! Sam's eye for detail and relentless drive for quality are the sole reasons for why our new floors have turned out great. We have an older house, and during installation, Sam adjusted the subfloor to prevent continued squeaking - an approach I didn't know was feasible to abate an annoyance. Sam is incredibly honest and reasonable. I have had a lot of experience with using general contractors/handymen and I can safely say that I will always look to Sam first to help me with my next home improvement project!
