Started deck over two years ago. Did not complete installation of lighting on deck, customized steps, and secure safety issues with loose boards and unsecured railing. Left flush mounted lights without securing with screws. Met with Mr. Meadows in mid June and he said deck would be complete this summer. No screws in half of flush mounted lights. One flush mounted light busted and would not work. One light is not flush mounted as the others. I sent texts month of July and August 2018. I sent email requesting response. I also phoned to request schedule of completing light installation so I could get ready to paint deck. He has not responded at all. He has totally abandoned this project. Very disgusted with his services.
Description of Work: Complete Deck he started 2 years ago

I left a message on 09/20/16 since I explained I needed. As of 09/27/16 no one has called me back. This leaves me to believe that the company is too busy to make a courtesy call or this was not the work they wanted to do.
Description of Work: A few pieces of siding that needed to be replaced, caulking, gutters cleaned and maybe painting.

James was excellent. Arrived at the house, took a glance at the space, and got straight to work. The job was executed very efficiently and James charged a very honest price. I will not hesitate to call him or use his services for a project in the future.
Description of Work: James installed a very large medicine cabinet into a master bathroom partition. This particular install required additional framing removals and adjustments.

IT WENT GREAT! James did a fantastic job and we LOVE the new master bathroom. We ran into some issues with Lowe's and special orders from them but James was nothing but the best. He demo'd the entire bathroom expect the bathroom counter. He did titling on the entire floor and shower, replaced the sinks, titled the back-splash, installed a new fan, installed a light dimmer switch and a towel warmer. He had to come back and fix a couple grout issues but all was foxed and it looks great!
Description of Work: We used James for a master bathroom remodel. I had used James before in the past for handyman jobs around my house but now that I needed the heavy remodel he was the first person that I called.

I had put in a excellent review on June 10th 2015 with Rainier Handyman services for James,he had worked on landscaping from 5-31-15 thru 6-27-2015 and did excellent work and I was very pleased! I also had put in that he was then going to continue from there to projects inside my home as I wanted to try and get my home up for this spring to sell..James said he could get them done by then. But since then he hasn't come thru at all and has continued to give me excuses and I always said I understood... But now we are in Jan. and still he has not started on any of my projects....and the last straw was James sending me pictures of the remodel he is just finishing! I was to have James from summer on and we'd agreed I was his until spring.. I feel he took advantage of me in putting other projects before mine since he had promised I'd be he would start on mine.... When I called it on him after seeing the pictures he said that I was somehow mistaken.... But that isn't true and James and I both know what the agreement was and now I have wasted so much time on trying to wait and be pleasant and understanding of all his excuses... So now I have to start over getting bids etc. My last comment on June 10th was I was happy that I tried using Angie's List.....now not so sure

Kept promising to finish the work but did not show finally gave up and had other contractors come and finish the job some of the work had to be redone Update 10/20/2015 Rainer Handyman services facts are a little fuzzy: Yes I loved the look of the powder room despite the fact that the toilet leaked that night due to improper installation. The wiring for an in floor heating system was not done the way the flouring contractor specified and had to be redone. Other items that were 9 areas of drywall that were left unfinished along with an area that had to be re-taped due to workmanship. I had planed to discuss these issue with James in person and had set up a time with him. He was a no call no show on two occasions. James simplistic view of my husbands work and that he could not have any interruption to his clients connection is not worthy of addressing in this space, If James thinks that he is owed more money he can invoice me on this matter. I think long and hard about placing comments at Angie's List and that it can effect a business and want to be fair, I stand by my rating.

Response from RAINIER HANDYMAN SERVICES
I will always take a bad review if I truly deserve it. Sometimes my punctuality is not the best and it may take me a day to return a call but I always make sure my clients are happy before I leave the project, even before they pay the balance. This client was truly happy. She loved the powder room I did and wanted even more work done. The issue here is I decided to pass on them as I had other work to complete. So she did not like that. In fact she waited a month to call me again to see if I would do here fence. I did say I would do the work but it would have to be at the end of what I already had scheduled. Not ready when she was, another strike against me. Now, the only thing another contractor had to finish was a switch, which I tried several times to change. The catch here is her husband works from home and under no condition was I allowed to turn the power off. He was afraid it was going to affect his P.C. so I was stuck. I also want to mention I was not paid to do that either. I think her review shows her frustration with my schedule and the fact she had to pay more using someone else.

Part of the reason I wanted to join Angie's List was to provide reviews. I will do a few over the next several weeks but James had to be first. Unqualified endorsement. Can't say enough good things. Used a variety of providers in the process and he was the best. Date is just a guess. The process took a couple of years and use was as needed over a period of time.
Description of Work: I redid all a number of areas in an older home. James did plumbing, electrical, general carpentry and more.

James was very nice and able to come out fairly quickly after I contacted him, just a day or 2 later. He was knowledgeable and made sure that he explained to me what he was doing, and the process of tracing the power to the source of the problem. He was able to find and fix the issue in about 2 hours, it was something we would have never figured out on our own. He also did not waste any time while he was there, which we appreciated. We will definitely contact him again in the future for any of our electrician needs and other things we need help with around our home.
Description of Work: About 1/3 of our outlets throughout our house just stopped working one day. A light or 2 had also stopped working suddenly.

He got the fan synced to a new remote because he knew how to accomplish that when we'd been told it couldn't be done. Fan has been working flawlessly since (over two years and counting). Price was very reasonable. I wanted him to come back and give quotes on additional work, but he never returned. Hence, I lowered his score because of his lack of follow-up. Work he performed was first-rate. Price was more than fair for value delivered.

Wonderful. We put the house up for sale shortly after James finished and got many compliments on the areas he'd worked on. The house sold in under a month, even when the market had just tanked.
Description of Work: Complete remodel of downstairs rec room and assisted with remodel of one upstairs bathroom. Owner will do the work himself or coach you through the job if you want to save some money and learn at the same time. James is a good craftsman and knows a lot of tricks of the trade. My husband picked up a ton of plumbing & electrical tips from doing the bathroom.

I got an estimate from RAINIER HANDYMAN SERVICES, but I ended up actually just doing the work myself. They had very reasonable prices. They were also very timely getting back to me. I would get another estimate from them in the future.

They were prompt to respond, thorough in protecting the rooms worked on with plastic tarps, and the final product was great. Would certainly engage them again.
Description of Work: We had a number of nails "popping" through the dry wall of our arched ceiling, as well as two spots in the drywall damaged by previous leaks in the roof. Rainier came in and surveyed the issue, and then completed the work by replacing nails with screws, filled the holes, re-taped the seams, and then sprayed to texture the ceiling.

The first job James performed was installing an induction cooktop. The installation went well. A problem that wasn't James' fault occurred which was the fault of the utility company. James stayed late and worked to help resolve the problem - which was very helpful. James re-tiled our bathroom and did other miscellaneous jobs around the house as needed. I recommend James highly. He is in high demand, so its good to get on his calendar early.

We wanted to modify our kitchen to improve it's openness and look. James was able to make excellent recommendation on how we could accomplish what we were looking for. His work quality was outstanding. He was always professional and friendly. The value for the work done was incredible. We do not hesitate to recommend him.
Description of Work: James did several things for our kitchen: 1. Removed window and closed and finished the opening: framing, exterior siding, drywall, and finished mud. 2. Moved cabinetry & Installed a countertop 4. Installed a new range hood and vented it 5. modified out soffits for said range-hood

On August 5th, when James had not arrived or called by 9:45, I called him. His phone went to voice mail with the message that he was sorry he could not come to the phone, but he would be out on vacation until AUGUST 19TH! I left the message that our appointment APPARENTLY had been cancelled, and that I would now attempt to find another company to provide the service that he apparently could not. This experience has been very disappointing because we really did like the service he provided the first time we hired him.
Description of Work: I called James Meadows on approximately July 21st or 22nd. We had had James do a project for us previously and liked his service. This time I called to see if he could level a spot in our backyard to put a shed on. He said he could do that but that he would be on vacation until August 1st. We scheduled the appointment for August 5th, at approximately 8 AM, after he said he would be back from vacation. I then proceeded to order the shed for delivery on August 9th.

James has always done excellent work for us. He has always shown up on the day scheduled although sometimes a little later than planned. Unfortunately, he is very busy and has been difficult to schedule follow-on work with. We would definitely recommend him.
Description of Work: James has done numerous things for us over the last couple years, including pressure washing our concrete patio, installing a new dryer vent, replacing bathroom fans, cleaning the roof and gutter covers, and re-caulking and painting.
