Home Solutions Inc

The "handyman" who was sent out to work at our home was nice enough but didn't know how to caulk. The house looks terrible and we have to live with it. I fell for their "special coupon" and the service reflected the poor quality of the work. He also applied the garage door weather stripping poorly. I called the office and someone came out to cut off the extra length that was pulling the weather stripping off the door. Now it is pulling away from the door because the screws are not holding it on. I would never call this company again.

Mike was on time to review the work to be preformed and give me an estimate. they offered a much lower price than the other 6 companies i contacted. even though it took me a couple weeks to get back too them, they were able to start work immediately,and finished the job in just a day.i am very pleased with the work they preformed and they left no mess behind. i would definitely use them again should the need arise, great job!

They were great! I am happy with the services.

we were severely overcharged. The coupon was 299 for 800 worth of work. They charged 1200 for three hours of work plus materials.

Home Solutions was good. We used him only once and are thinking about calling him because there's a couple of other things that we would like to have done and installed. They're close and are not far from here. He came over and gave us an estimate, we called and set up a date, and he ordered the stuff for us. He provided the bars and everything and they were really sturdy. I said if we were going to pay to do them then we should have them done right because they had to go into tile, but behind the tile was wallboard so they had to hit a beam and all that stuff. He gave us an Angie's List discount. He did mortar work in three different areas of brick on the outside and then they installed four of the bars. The one in the tub is really long and the one in my shower is long. They also installed another bar so you won't slip getting into the tub, so that was four things that they did in my bathroom and we thought the price was reasonable. He was available, prompt, and they came when they said they would. They did a good job and they laid stuff all down in my bathroom and there was nothing left in the tub or the shower. There was nothing on the floor and they were clean workmen and that was good. We really like Mike and the other young men that was with him that did the brick work and things like that. We're definitely going to use them again and my husband has already put them on our list. I would recommend this company to my neighbors.

We had purchased a second house within the past year. It is a mother/daughter layout, and until recently we had assumed both sides of the house shared a water heater. Unfortunately, we discovered that that was not the case, when the "mother's" side of the house lost its hot water and we were unable to locate the tank. After a few days of investigation we were able to locate the unit, which was boxed in to the void corner of our built in cabinetry. Several plumbers, and handymen, had indicated that they have never seen anything like it before and were concerned that if they tried to access it through the countertop or cabinetry, they would have to replace the whole line of cabinets (because they are one-piece & built-in). Very frustrating! In order to avoid this, Home Solutions agreed to go through the outside wall of the house, so that the plumber could access the heater from the back side. This was a cheaper solution then possibly having to replace the cabinetry. Once open, a header was put in place to secure the opening and the area was prepped for easy access for the plumber. After the heater was replaced, Home Solutions returned to close up the hole, seal it and replace the siding. Mike, the owner, and the whole team at Home Solutions, were very helpful and professional. Having been out of the area at the time, they had successfully coordinated most of the job through my family members without a problem. Home Solutions met all our expectations. Their professionalism and communication made a very difficult situation a little less frustrating.

mike picked up the door this morning at Lowes and installed the door in about 1 1/2 hours. looks great. will definitely do business with this company again!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU HAVE A SIGNIFICANT JOB THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND DO NOT AGREE ON A QUOTE OVER THE PHONE. I was tremendously overcharged for a 10 minute job. All that was needed was for two closet doors to be adjusted back on track. The first appointment had to be rescheduled since Home Solutions was running 2-3 hours late and could not make it to the original scheduled timeframe. I was given a quote over the phone, first I had heard of quotes over the phone, then was told the amount could possibly be less or more depending on the work needed to be done and materials needed. This was false, I was told after the job was completed that $185 is the minimum charge. The handyman came over, made a few minor adjustments in 10 minutes, used no materials besides a small piece of wood and a screwdriver and I was charged $185. By the way, they forgot to give me the Angie's List discount and/or Armed Forces discount, so now they are mailing me a check for the 15% difference. I will NOT call these guys again unless it is a big job that would be worth more than $185, but even then I may not. Had I known what was wrong, it is something I or a teenage kid could of done for free.

I give top grade to these guys. They called right back, gave me a price, an estimate, came out on time, went to work, did a real good job, very polite and professional. And, they called and asked me if I was satisfied, which I was.,

I had a whole list of things to do before he came and they were all done really well. He was very pleasant. My only complaint was the painting job, and that he left early telling me he got everything done when he didn't.

Mike Esposito, the owner, arrived on time to review the work we wanted done. A very nice gentlemen who provided some insights and recommendations. As scheduled the next day, I received a written estimate (via email which saves a lot of time). I called and talked to Mary (co-owner) to find out if the Angie's List coupon had been applied. It had not. A new price was quoted over the phone which I agreed to. I returned the signed contract with Angie List coupon (via email) and Mary scheduled the work for the next day and she told me that I would be called at 0800 the next day to find out who would be coming over and schedule a time for the work. Promptly at 0800, Trey called telling us that Mike and James would be over between 0830-0930. James arrived promptly at 0830, evaluated his portion of the work (the brickwork), and immediately began working. He told me Mike had stopped to buy hardware and Mike showed up shortly after and began work on his portion of the work. Things went smoothly and everything was completed within a couple of hours. For the work done inside, tarps were laid on the bathroom floors as well as tub bottom and shower floor (making my wife very happy). After finishing the tub and shower, Mike policed up his work, explained what had been done, and left. James completed the brickwork and cleaned up what little (and I mean very little) debris there was. James and Mike were appropriately dressed and had everything they needed to do the work when they arrived. They were both polite, cheerful, courteous, and answered all my questions about the work. Mike and James did an outstanding job on all the work and it looks great. I will definitely use Home Solutions for any future work. I have had a lot of work done in and around the house in the last 30+ years and Home Solutions (House Doctors) has moved into the top company we have worked with and the first one we will call in the future.

I spoke to a woman in the office and described the job I wanted done, and the steepness of the roof. She called back the next day with an estimate and I accepted. We arranged for the work to be done on a certain day.On the morning of the day they were to do the job it had started to rain. They called to see if it was very wet. They decided to do the work because, they found a way to secure themselves on the roof. In about an hour all the work was complete. He showed me how to adjust the thermostat too.

Handyman 1 was on time and professionally dressed. He started on the window job, and when he was halfway done, Handyman 2 showed up. The two of them finished up the window job. There was some confusion about whether they were to paint the new sill. Handyman 3 arrived and began to repair the faucet, while handyman 1 left. Handyman 2 replaced the wood siding and painted the window sill. Handyman 3, perhaps the least professional of the crew, did not have a T wrench to turn off the water. He then replaced the spigot, but did not want to fasten the faucet handle to the spigot with a screw. With some pleading on my part, he finally found a screw and fastened it. He then finished painting the sill and replacing the shingle. In the end, there is minor damage to the frame of the window, which wasn't painted over, and there are gaps in the painting near the storm window frame, as the frame was put on first and then the sill painted. They did leave a pint of paint with me, which was nice, so I can touch it up myself, and they did match the color well. Everyone was polite, but I did feel that the mix-and-match handymen caused some confusion, and the third handyman definitely was not of the same caliber as the other two.

They are great. They aren't the cheapest but you can count on them and if you have a problem they are back the next day to fix it with no questions asked. I've been using them at least once a year for the last five years. They are value priced, they show up on time, the work is performed "as discussed", and they clean up after themselves.

It works and I'm glad to have it. They came out and gave me a quote for different items. I felt comfortable with the person who came out to give me the quote. All the different things were line itemized in the quote so that I could have some done and some not done. I had them do some extra things as well.

I was very impressed with the service they gave me. The price was below the estimate they had given me initially. They were worth the money.

Quickly agreed on date. They called to confirm. Handyman arrived as scheduled. Left a bit early (as agreed) as he had finished the list. Excellent work.

The House Doctors rep was pleasant and professional and we are quite satisfied with his work. They did everything they said they would do, and on time.

Mike Stevens arrived around 9 AM on Friday October 28th. He did a nice job installing the toilet. He did not use the wax toilet bowl gasket provided with the Kohler toilet. The Koher Wax Gasket look a little small to me also. The toilet works great and the valves operate properly. He did a nice job as usual.

This was an outstanding experience. I signed up for 8 hours of labor on an Angie's Big Deal. Deborah called me the next day to set an appt and get project list. It took me a while to get a list together, and when I called with final my list, Deborah had notes from our previous discussion. We set on a date. She told me that she would call the morning of the appointment at 8 am and let me know when to expect the handyman. Deborah called as promised and told me Michael would be on his way. Michael showed up on time. He was very professional, courteous and efficient. We walked through the house and discussed the projects. Michael prioritized the order and went to work. Projects were expertly and very efficiently done without cutting quality. Nicely done! When Michael checked the plumbing job and explained the situation - could fix the problem but needed the right parts which I didn't have. I asked if he could patch the hole in the kitchen ceiling instead. For some reason, I inexplicably forgot to add that to my project list provided to Deborah and I wanted the ceiling hole fixed more. As stated above, he obtained permission to fix the ceiling and did an awesome job! I definitely will use House Doctors again.

All of the work was extremely neat and professional. No bother or mess for us. Required absolutely no clean-up on our part. We were very pleased, particularly since this was the second time we had dealt with this identical issue. The first company diagnosed the program as a faulty joint in a fitting below the commode and repaired that but did not mention the wax ring. We're not sure if it was examined at that time for a leak. it is possible that a new leak developed, though we doubt it. After about three years, when stains appeared again, and since the guarantee on the first job had expired, we decided to go with another company and see what was up. This time we are confident the repair is permanent. Every promise made was fulfilled from the first contact until the completion of the job.

Got a quote on bathroom ventilation - scheduled the job - got a call the day the work was suppose to be done and they asked if I had the ducting for the fans and if i didn't there would be an additional charge. I agreed to buy the fans prior to quote, HOWEVER, ...I asked during the "QUOTE" process if this would be ventilated outside and they said "YES" I assumed this "DUCTing" was included in the original quote. The phone lady Deborah is quite nice (mostly). The Worker Mike is unpleasant.

Technician was courteous and knowledgable.

Mike showed up on time to give an estimate for drywall repair, replace a french door, and build a deck railing. I decided to go with the french door and deck railing. He gave a quote and a start date. Showed up on time on the start date. It took less than a day to have the railing built and door installed. The railing looked excellent when finished. The installation of the door was excellent. The only issue was the old door hardware did not match up with the new door holes so I had to go purchase new handles and locks. They offered to do it for an additional charged but I decided I would do it myself. Final price was as quoted and they honored the angie's list discount coupon. Overall I would hire this company again to do future work.

In March of 2007 had we 17 windows replaced in our house. 6 of the windows have lost the seal between the glass panes and the argon/krypton gas escaped. There is now severe discoloration between the panes and they have lost their energy efficiency. I contacted Mike Esposito, the owner of House Doctor's at his office on 2625 Production Road in Virginia Beach, VA. At the time he installed my windows in 2007 he was doing business under the name of "Window Depot" at the same address with the same phone number (757) 306-4748. The phone number (757) 306-0500 rings to the same location as well. At the time I purchased my windows Mike Esposito provided me with a written lifetime warranty, including glass breakage, under the business name of Window Depot. Unfortunately, Mike explained to me that as he is no longer doing business under the name of Window Depot, he will not honor the warranty. The primary reason I gave my business to Mike Esposito's company was because of the warranty. It is disappointing he will not stand behind the warranty. I have since learned that Mike Esposito is doing business under a number of business names. Based on an internet search I located the following business names with Mike as the principal, operating at 2625 Production Road: Windowizards Virginia Windows Home Solutions House Doctors Virginia Vinyl Siding Virginia Awnings Virginia Green Homes If having a warranty is important to you, I caution that you carefully consider using any of the companies listed above as your warranty may not be honored by the owner should he choose not to operate under that business name any longer....
