Description of Work: We were extremely pleased with the service of this company, mainly because of the flexibility of the owner in meeting our unusual needs. We wanted to provide supplies and this was allowed. We made a few changes as we went, which added to their plate, but the changes were accepted.

I called a number of roofing companies after our windstorm on 12/17/12. Greg was the only one that took the time to come out, get on my roof and give me an estimate. When he was here, he noticed that my roofing deck had a hole in it and he (without knowing if he was getting the job or not) fixed the hole so that it would not cause anymore damage. Greg also was sent the estimate that evening. The other roofers (Perfect Circle and Black Diamond Roofing) that I called to this day have not even called to see if I still need an estimate. Greg and his crew came out on the first day (in the snow) to start and I requested they start on the next day that it was not snowing. Greg also was in constant contact with me about the when they would be finished and called my insurance claims agent as well. Greg and his crew did a great job from start to finish, they made sure that all the materials from the tear off was removed and everything was left in better shape then when they got here. Revision: I am not so sure that Greg is as organized as he would lead people to believe. He was supposed to be over to fix a couple of small issues. 1) to fix a couple pieces of skirting (one that his crew ruined) and one that was destroyed during the wind storm. 2) they told me that they would come back over and touch up the paint on the siding where the old roofing scuffed it up. Twice he was scheduled to come over and both times he did not show up and DID NOT call.
Description of Work: Old roof --- gone with the wind
Once started the project went well (a few delays but it worked out), and the dressing room was nicely done. The lighting had a few glitches, but Greg did a great job getting someone in there that was an electrician. Overall satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: This is the second time we have used Absolute. This time was not for our home but for our retail space putting in a dressing room. Greg did the framing, drywall, tape and texture. We also had him do some handywork around the shop like putting in some lighting, etc..
Greg Hanrahan was excellent to work with. He was professional and communicated extremely well through whole process. The room turned out awesome! Patched up all the walls - installed new door - repainted walls and ceiling - put new molding around floor - repaired closet - room looks brand new! Greg went above and beyond my expectations.
Description of Work: Scope of work to be completed: Tape of carpet to perimeter of room.Remove and dispose of existing base mold and door wrap.Remove and dispose of a 32”x4’ piece of sheetrock under window.Remove and dispose of 16”x16” piece of drywall on South wall under window.Skim coat North and South walls using light topping joint compound.Apply new ½” sheetrock to both patch areas.Tape and mud both patch areas using topping compound.Sand and texture to match both patch areas and skim coated walls.Apply a liberal coat of kilz primer to all walls.Paint entire bedroom using Bear interior paint. (2 coats)Paint both window boxes and trim white.Install new 2 ¼” base molds to entire room and 2 doors.Caulk new base mold to hide shadow line.Re-attach shelving unit in closet per agreement.Clean up and haul away all job related materials.
After we agreed to the estimate Greg provided, he started work within 48 hours. The initial work went very fast. The wall was framed, installed, and sheetrock installed and taped the first day. It slowed down the following days while waiting for the spakel and paint to dry. The first coat of paint was not quite the right color but the second coat matched perfectly. The texture on the wall was also matched perfectly. It looks great. Greg had a friend of his install the rug in the master bedroom. As it turned out his friend had done a lot of work on my daughters house, which she loved, and we had some fun when my daughter arrived and realized who he was. The kitchen island proved to be a bit difficult and Greg summoned some of his friends. The island was very heavy with the granite counter top. After a couple hours the work was complete and looks real good. Gregs best assistant was his wife. She helped him with almost every step and did much of the painting. Overall we are pleased with the final product. We also appreciated Greg's quick action to fix any little defect we noticed. I will hire Greg again when I have something needing attention.
Description of Work: The job included installing a wall seperating a bedroom into two rooms. Both are now bedrooms. The original plans for the house included this wall. It was left out to make a very large work and exercise room. Work also included removing a 6 inch spacer which raised the kitchen island and replacing the carpet in the master bedroom. All materials were included in the price.

Greg is punctual and professional. He provides a written plan prior to the start of work. This is worth working on because it makes for more thorough planning and cuts down on surprises. I would call on Absolute Home Solutions again. They provide good service and great value!

Installed shower door in one bathroom and shower curtain in the other. Tiled bathroom floors. Tiled hallway floor; covered walls with sheetrock and painted.

Overall, everything was fine. Greg worked with his son Nate, and together they make a good team. Neither had ever installed the type of flooring that went into my theater room and office, and I am experiencing some flooring failure (tiles not sticking down, edges turning up, and so on). Proper installation would have required rolling the tiles in to create the bonding, or perhaps we shouldn't have gone with my idea to use an underlayment pad and we should have glued things down. I'll live with it until I can get to a different solution somewhere down the road. Greg is punctual and personable. He has a can-do attitude, and he will try hard to find a way to get what you want done. As a general all-around handyman, if you have a variety of things you just need to get done, it's hard to go wrong in helping you to conquer your to-do list.
Description of Work: Carpet removal. Concrete sealing. Vinyl tile installation. Door adjustments. Installation of Safety-Stop post in garage. Secure downspouts. Replace broken floor tiles. Re-grout a few spots in floor tile. Remove molded sections of wall and subsequent wall repair.
He called ahead of time to let me know when he would be there. The first day was mostly spent removing the old rotting wood and cleaning up the mess. The next day he completed a tremendous amount of the siding. During this process, he removed our exterior lights, house numbers, etc. Within the next two days, he finished the entire project, replaced the exterior light fixtures, house numbers, etc., cleaned up, including sweeping the driveway, walked us through what he had done, and reminded us that if for any reason we weren't pleased, to call him.
Description of Work: Our home is over 30 years old. A great deal of the cedar siding on one side of the home was actually rotting and pulling away from the home. Additionally, we needed a small piece of fencing and a gate replaced for the same reason. Wood eventually gets old. We found Absolute Home Solutions on your website and called the number for an estimate. Our oldest son is a contractor and had already given us an estimate -- he lives hundreds of miles away, or else we would have paid him to do the job. I called Greg Hanrahan, and he came the same afternoon to estimate the job. In less than 48 hours (as he promised), he emailed us a detailed estimate, including scope of work, materials, labor, and taxes -- very professional. He replaced the siding with a better product, caulked all the seams, replaced wood trim, used some cedar siding on the exterior of the fireplace to replace rotting wood, replaced a small portion of wood fencing and a gate, and also provided us with a written estimate for painting. I need to add here that the siding he replaced wasn't horizontal. Most of the siding he replaced was diagonal, meaning every piece had to be mitered. This means that the materials did, in fact, cost a very little bit more than his original estimate, but our son had already told us that would probably happen Greg spoke with us every day to be sure were were pleased and never left without telling us when he would be back and when he expected to complete the work. He finished ahead of his estimate. I've already given two of his business cards to friends.
The bathrooms in our home were original since the home was built in 1987. The company we decided to use was given good reviews on Angie's List so we decided to use their services. We were pleased with the estimate that was quoted and even though the job took longer than was estimated, the majority of delays were out of his control and were caused by supplies that had been ordered. The job performed more than met our expectations and came in a little above the estimate due to the items we selected. We plan on using this company in the future when it comes time to update our kitchen and garage.
Description of Work: Updated the master and spare bathrooms. Both rooms were original since the home was purchased new in the late 1980's. We replaced the shower and vanity along with the flooring in the master and the counter top, flooring and tub surround in the spare bathroom. Lighting and sinks were replaced in both bathrooms.

Did get a visit from this person. He was to get back to us within a few days. When that did not happen, I called again and was told he was waiting for a response from one of his vendors. Never heard from him again.

Response from Absolute Home Solutions
I made contact with this potential customer of recieving a request in referance to a kitchen remodel. After meeting with them and outlining everything they wanted done I sent product requests to the vendors. The customer contacted me again on friday and I told them I would have all the pricing back on monday which I did. I then emailed the customer the etimate, or at least I thought I sent it to the right email address. I'm not a high pressure salesman, I take pride in my work and guarentee all my pricing and workmanship. This obviously was an oversight on my part, when I didn't get a response I just figured they were not interested as they were getting estimates from other contractors as well. This particular situation has never happened to me before as I usually pay close attention to detail. I will be contacting these people and apologizing for my oversight and I will use this experiance as a learning tool and make sure this kind of oversight does not occur again.

If you are looking for an honest individual that has integrity and takes pride in his work, my recommendation is to contact Greg with Absolute Home Solutions. After just moving into a new place I contacted Greg (based on his Angie's List reviews) for a variety of handyman work items. I listed out the items in an email that I needed completed and he was very responsive from the beginning. He detailed out the cost for each of the items & that is exactly what I paid... he is very fair in his pricing structure & completes the work to perfection & communicates should there be any changes outside the original scope of work. It has now been about a week since he has completed the last item on the list and he has followed up with me in email to ensure that everything is in working order & to satisfaction. I am pleased with the service & quality of work for a reasonable price. His number is now a permanent contact in my phone as we will be bringing him back for other work that needs to be completed in the future.

It went well, they were quick and did a good job, was a bit messy with the dust from drywall sanding (next time will have them put plastic cover on door, or in area they sand). Flooring was done very well, they removed all the materials and the hardwood looks beautiful. Oil on hardwood was very slippery though. Overall was happy with the end result.

He gave us a quote within 2-3 days of calling and stuck with his quote throughout the job. His team arrived at about 9:30 each day they worked and accomplished the job in 3 days. He delayed the start one day to finish another job and missed a day of work in the middle of the week, but he always made sure to stay in contact and not just leave us hanging. He got the job done fast anyway and was happy to to fix anything we weren't happy with along the way. I wouldn't have a problem hiring him again.
Description of Work: We hired Greg of Absolute Home Solutions to demolish about 400 sq ft of existing tile, laminate, and carpet and then install new laminate throughout.

They came around 9:00AM and return home around 3:00PM , took them 3 days to finish all the work including the job for 2 bathrooms installed new tiles and kitchen backslash and fixed my sub-floor in 20 minutes. This could be a 2 days job if they willing to stayed longer each day ( He came with his son to finish it). Well, I will give them an 75% to of their quality work. Thanks.
Description of Work: He fixed my sub-floor , he go down underneath of my floor and fixed it. He pretty good on fixing and repairing. He also installed the new tiles on my main floor and second floor bathroom, I will say the quality is 80% OK, Another job he installed the kitchen backslash for me, I will say a little rough but is OK, quality 76% work.

The work began with the replacement of the exterior door and sliding patio doors. This work went well and was completed in about 1 day. Then the work on the floors began. He warned us that this process was going to be messy and it was. The old floors consisted of carpet (which came up pretty quickly) and hardwood and vinyl. The initial process of ripping up the old floor did create a mess but things got better as the install proceeded. We were very happy with the final result,
Description of Work: Greh Hanrahan of Absolute Home Solutions replaced an exterior door, a sliding glass door and the flooring in the kitchen, front room, utility room, hall way, and stairs and installed new molding along with the new flooring. Greg provided a lot of advice about products and sources for materials. Most of the materials we picked out and paid for and he picked up from the supplier, delivered them to our home and installed them. He hauled away the old materials for us. He had a lot of good ideas and suggestions along the way and was always willing to address any and all issues we had.

When my husband and I realized we were over our heads we checked Angie's list for a drywall guy. Greg had great reviews. He came over to check out the job in less than an hour after we called. He was still in his Hawaiian shirt just returning from his Honeymoon. That night Greg emailed us a profesionnal itemized proposal for doing the job. We accepted, and he whipped the demolation out in no time. He also had to replace some of the studs. I noticed that a couple of the studs did not go clear to the floor. I excpected that he would put horizontal supports in, because he mentioned it. When the electrician and plumbing were done these supports had not been put in, and though I was working when the drywall went up, the contractor from Southridge Construction (working on another project) said that the supports were not put in. Greg did a nice job on the texture, but failed to cover the electrical switches and outlets, and the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. I had to pay Dean from Southridge Construction to clean up the scattered texture before he could paint, put cabinets up, and do the finish work. I have to say, I got my money's worth from Greg. And it means a lot to have someone who comes to the job quicikly and stays with the job. To Greg's credit, he was adament that anything I was unhappy with he would fix. Unfortuantely I had a renter waiting for the unit and I am taking my chances with the studs as they are rather then rip out drywall. And I doubt after this review that Greg will EVER not put tape across outlets in the future. So I would hire Greg again with confidence.
Description of Work: Greg tore out layers of sheetrock and plaster. He also replaced studs that had been damaged by termites. Then he put up new drywall and textured. He also repaired the wall above the breaker box where the electrician had opened the wall to run wires. The bathroom wall was damaged during demolition of the kitchen and Greg repaired that as well.

I contacted Greg at Absolute Home Solutions to see if he would interested in a small job re-grouting my bath tub surround. I wasn't sure if anyone would want to do such a small job, but he was more than willing to stop by to give me an estimate within 2 days of my calling. Greg was very pleasant and eager to do business. He gave a great estimate (saved me from doing it!) and was at my house doing the job within 3 days. He also came back 2 days later to seal the new grout. The finished surround looks great and I plan on hiring him to do more work for us in the near future.
Description of Work: The services performed by Absolute Home Solutions were to scrape out old, crumbling grout in my bath tub surround and then re-grouting this area to make it more water proof and to look better. The tile itself was in good condition and so did not need a total make-over.

Greg was very timely and his quality of work was superb!
Description of Work: Floor boards were removed along one wall of open family room. Kitten had peed on floorboard causing it to swell. Greg removed the damaged boards from area, pulled back the carpet and sprayed entire area with anti-fungal sealant/spray. He then replaced the floorboard. He was done quickly and kept his work area clean.
Description of Work: Cabinet installation in two baths, Granite, sinks, lights throughout house, moved electrical outlet, fixed some drywall issues, trim and all the misc stuff that puts a bathroom back together. Greg finished my bathroom remodeling where others had left off, but that's a different story. Everything looks great. Since he was here, I had him do a bunch of other misc. things that really needed done. If I had found him at the start of this project he could've done everything and made my life so much easier. This is not a guy who gives you a quote and then sends someone else out to do the work. He can handle a broad range of jobs.
