The short answer is that Adam and Pat are excellent. The long answer is as follows: we needed our kitchen remodeled/repaired after water mitigation services left us with a gutted kitchen and at least a two month wait for repairs through the service. Fortunately, we found Adam! Adam's estimate was thorough and realistic, and he spotted things other contractors giving estimates didn't. As for the job itself, Adam is great about communication. He rolled with the punches throughout the job, and he did things the right way. Adam and Pat: -- removed the remaining cabinets in the kitchen -- discovered uneven floor joists causing a slanted floor -- removed three layers of vinyl and two layers of subfloor (our kitchen was completely open to the basement for a bit!) -- repaired the floor joists -- rebuilt the subfloor -- replaced the cabinets and rebuilt part of one cabinet -- laid floor tile -- hung drywall -- redid ceiling and wall insulation -- fixed electrical -- hung a new light -- moved and rebuilt a soffit -- installed a vintage cast-iron sink -- installed a dishwasher -- repaired some seriously wild plumbing from the previous owner -- installed a new faucet -- repaired heating vents -- replaced new baseboards, trim, etc -- tiled the backsplash -- painted Adam and Pat are great with kids and dogs, and their work is excellent. They do the job the right way. We'll be hiring them again for additional projects in the future.

I needed some pieces of furniture assembled that I had purchased. I ended up going with another business. I put in a quote request online twice. One on 7/10 and another on 7/17. I also called on multiple occasions and was unable to reach anyone or receive any kind of response. It seems that this business just doesn't want customers. You should at least reach back out to potential customers even if you are unable to complete the work requested.

Response from Adam's Handyman & Remodeling Service
I’m very sorry this Angieslist member had this experience. Unfortunately we are just a two man business and the second guys just helps me with the actual projects, not returning phone calls or other messages. I do not answer my cell phone during work hours as someone else is paying me to work on their projects any given day so they have all of my attention. While we do take on smaller projects we mostly do bathroom and kitchen remodeling, finish unfinished basements and build a lot of deck and sunrooms along with almost any mid sized projects. We live and work in the metro Madison area and this customer lives in Baraboo. Nonetheless I’m never would intentionally ignore a prospective new customer. Sincerely, Adam of Adam’s Handyman and Remodeling Service.

We had water damage in a garage ceiling. Adam was able to get it fixed in a matter of days and left the garage so much cleaner than when he got there. We had done the mitigation already, but we didn't have the time or equipment to put the drywall back on the ceiling. He was able to work around our schedules and is great about communicating potential issues that we needed to fix.

My project apparently wasn't worth his time. He came last fall to look at the job. Said he would have a quote in a few days. After a period of no response I contacted him for the quote and he said he couldn't give me one until March. That is the last I heard from him. Not bothering to communicate, not bothering to follow up. He obviously felt no need for any semblance of professionalism or customer service.

I’m sorry this person had a bad experience with a contractor she found on Angieslist but the only thing that could make this review make any sense at all is that she has me confused with another business. I would never and have never told someone I would get them an estimate in a few days and then a little while later tell them I couldn’t send them an estimate for 5 months!?? The whole thing just has me scratching my head. Anyways I do hope she was able to find someone to help her with her project.

We cannot say enough about Adam's work on our basement remodel. He talked us through all of our options, was very responsive, and did the work efficiently and well. For example, we wanted to put in a very nice drop ceiling rather than dry wall so we can access it better for future bathroom/plumbing projects. Adam talked us through the pros and cons of each option but did not pressure us to do the (more expensive) dry wall ceiling. This was true for every option along the way, i.e. types of recessed lighting, particular ceiling tiles, molding, etc. We can't recommend enough!

Response from Adam's Handyman & Remodeling Service
I am very sorry this member had this experience. We are a very small business with just myself and one other guy. I don’t answer my phone during a work day because that time belongs to whom ever we are working for that day. I do try to reply to everyone that contacts me but unfortunately once in a while someone slips through the cracks. I answer all my messages, give all my own estimates and do all the business paperwork along with working full days Monday-Friday. I know some people are expecting an answering service or a secretary but unfortunately we are too small of a business to have those services. Thanks, Adam of Adam’s Handyman and Remodeling Service.

Great. I wanted to do the tile on the floor of the bathroom myself, but I didn't have the skill to repair the rot around the toilet or install cement board, Adam came in and did exactly what I asked him to so I could do my project. He and his assistant were very prompt, professional and explained the repairs needed and my options. He went above and beyond, returning to reinstall and adjust the toilet when I called him at the last minute!

Adam has helped us with projects around our older, quirky house that no one else wanted to take on. He did an amazing job repairing our window sills that had rotting extending down into the casing He noticed, while he was here, that the joints between our cedar siding had never been sealed by the previous diy homeowner so we had him back to do that job, which improved the appearance and integrity of the siding. He worked hard to match the colors of the house and put up with our 3 barking dogs. He kept us up-to-date on the progress of the job.

It went well and looks beautiful. The leak issue was really small and Adam provided solutions to ensure it wouldn't do it again. Adam and Pat made sure all of the dust/mess was cleaned up and were good about communicating what was done and what was left to go within the project. They asked questions and made sure it was what I wanted. At the end of the day, with the leak being small, the actual cost was considerably less than the original quote. Materials and time were spelled out for me so I could verify it and ask questions. I will use them again.
Description of Work: Partial Bathroom remodel. I thought that there may be a leak by my toilet, so I wasn't sure what they'd find. Tear-out and assessment of the leak. Then tiling, new countertop & faucets, adding pulls to vanity and hanging new mirrors. I had asked Adam to provide an estimate to worst case scenario, so I new the maximum I would need to pay for the services.

Things went really well. Adam was able to quickly repair the items that were repairable, gave clear advice on the items that should be replaced, and gave solid advice on how to proceed with the window sill replacement -- i.e., the window should be replaced. I appreciated the wisdom and knowledge behind each item. I will definitely hire again, including for some larger items I have on my wish list.
Description of Work: This first project was a number of small repairs needed and one potentially large window sill replacement.

Excellent service and work. We could not have been more pleased. Adam was very professional. The work was very well done and very high quality. He asked great questions to ensure the details met all of our expectations. He was very neat and cleaned up the work space every night before leaving. Our remodeling project came in on time and under his budget estimate. We would highly recommend him!!!

I'm very sorry that this homeowner and I could not connect on her projects. While it did take me longer than the usual week to get her estimates for all her projects, she did receive all of them. I think she posted this the day I emailed them to her. I had hoped she would have changed this review after receiving her estimates but unfortunately she never responded to my efforts to contact her.

This is the 3rd time we've hired Adam and Pat. They do excellent work and the attention to detail is very impressive. We have a 1930's home where no project is easy and they always find a solution to make things work without compromising quality. They finished our basement which had plenty of challenges such as original windows to replace, very low ceilings, and old original doors/doorways. The final outcome exceeded our expectations and is a great addition to our house where living space is at a premium. Adam is by far the most honest contractor I've ever worked with and truly cares about providing quality service to make sure his customers are satisfied. Please realize he is in high demand and getting ahold of him can be difficult until he is actually on your project at which time he is always available to you (I appreciate that he dedicates his time to my project, generally not to answering calls from others while at my property). Adam and Pat can pretty much take care of any home project and have very fair pricing, making their skills for the price hard to match.

Response from Adam's Handyman & Remodeling Service
To [Member Name Removed] and anyone else reading this review, I'm sorry I was unable to follow up on all of the calls and emails I received this fall from Angie's list members. I am a very small business with only one employee that helps me do the actual work. Other than that I run all other facets of my business. Unfortunately I had some unforeseen health issues this fall and was unable to keep up with everything and everyone outside of the projects I had already committed to. If you have the time to look at my reviews going back years you will find I don't have a single negative review from anyone I have actually done work for. Adam Shirley.

He showed up for his initial appointment but never bothered to give me an estimate or return my phone call. It's understandable if there is other work that is more profitable, but I don't appreciate the lack of communication. HUGE waste of my time!!!!!!!

Response from Adam's Handyman & Remodeling Service
I am very sorry to hear that these homeowners came away with this response. Unfortunately there seems that there were some communication breakdowns. I spent almost two hours of a weekend afternoon with them going over the Posible solutions to there kitchen remodel. Unfortunately they didn't know what they wanted to do; refaced and paint the cabinets or gut everything and start over. After approximately an hour and a half the homeowners expressed that they were a little overwhelmed with all the options and decisions that needed to be made. They needed some time to come up with what they actually wanted me to do before I could construct an estimate. I left after we had discussed 10 different possibilities. My understanding was they were going to meet with a designer or at least come up with a plan not just possibilities and then get back to me. I never received that call/email. I hope that they came up with a plan and found someone that did an amazing job for them. Again I'm very surprised at their review and apologize if somehow added to the poor communications. Thanks, Adam.

Adam and Pat did an excellent job! Every room in my recently purchased home needed to be painted. I was impressed with the care they took to pull baseboards, remove closet shelving, and patch dozens of nail/screw holes to ensure good results. Adam also replaced rotted trim around the exterior garage door and caulked areas he felt could be problematic in the future. He did several other repairs around the house, which I greatly appreciated! There's more work to be done on this house, and I will definitely want Adam and Pat to do it. I could have gone with a larger painting company at a lower cost, but I don't believe I would have received a comparable level of service.

Adam and Pat were AWESOME to work with. Very thorough in their approach and consistent in their initial proposal and estimate. They made sure the bathroom remodel was perfect upon completion - they were very exact and detailed in all execution. Adam was really thorough and good at explaining any changes or surprises that came up along the way so that I could make informed decisions on all purchases. Even with that, they were able complete the project on budget. The remodel turned out exactly as we wanted it to! Super modern, clean and no longer "grandma's bathroom." These guys are the real deal!
