This is the 2nd time we've used AHS (Advanced Home Services). Monty is always very professional and efficient. He arrived this afternoon, took a look at the job and took care of it right away. Very professional, very personable and the price was more than fair! We will definitely use AHS again!

goodl. Monty showed up on time and went out of his way to help complete a job. He came to our home, took the broken shade with him and when it was clear that he could not fix it himself he called us, then went to Home Depot and brought back the sample book with the shade he thought most closely matched. With our ok he ordered it, brought it to us and installed the shade. The color matches almost perfectly. We are very happy with Monty's work.

Monte arrived on time and took a few minutes to discuss what needed to be done and how to deal with each item. He brought up some things that might be issues, and also offered creative solutions to each problem I had. It took him about 4 hours to get everything done and all was very satisfactory. I was delighted with how well everything worked out.
Description of Work: Several small jobs including installation of grab bars and new shower curtain rod, adaptation of a toilet seat to accommodate a raised seat, relocation of a towel bar, and installation of a new light fixture.

Monte did a fantastic job replacing a service door on the side of our garage. He also replaced the trim around our main garage door. There were two other minor exterior repairs that we asked him about and he was able to take care of those as well. He was responsive and professional. He was reasonably priced and gave us an accurate estimate. The work done was high-quality with an attention to detail that left us satisfied customers when the project was complete. Will definitely give him a call for future projects.

I hired him for 4 hours thinking most of my list could get done. 4 hours worth of work and the only thing accomplished were the swapping out of the switches and outlets. I had a priority list set out with the more complicated things first (tv mount, vanity lights, blind) with the switches and outlets at the bottom. So the bigger projects I needed done weren't and I still have a list of items I need done. Im extremely frustrated. What a waste of money!
Description of Work: Hang TV mount, hang blind in den, hang towel bars in bathroom, change vanity lights in bathroom, swap out outlets and switches in bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

Sorry, worked the whole time on what was presented to me assuming no priorities. The time was fully used to accomplish the most valuable skill level project. Even gave extra time. Sorry, but no wasted time or money. Over four hours of work was accomplished..

It worked out just fine. I would give him an A, he did just fine. The price was fine. The qualify was very good. He repaired something that was just absolutely falling apart, and it is nice and sturdy now. I think we had some back and forth trying to get our stuff lined up. It wasn't bad. It wasn't like I was terrible frustrated. He would call me I would call him, it would take a couple days. Nothing horrid. He was there right when he was suppose to be. I would use him again if I had something like that that I needed to be done. I did ask him about some major work like remodeling but I don't think I would use him like that. He pays attention to detail, and does a throughout nice job. Everything was cleaned up he did a nice job with that.
Description of Work: He put in some new carbon monoxide detectors in for me.

It took him a long time to come. He is very busy I guess. I waited at least a month. The first time was 4 hours for $99, but second time was $70 hours. Unless it is something very important, I don't think I will call him. If he offer cheaper, I will use him again.
Description of Work: Some small things, replaced a piece on my toilet, put some light bulbs in, hooked up a small medicine cabinet.

This is the second time I have worked with Monty. He was very responsive and professional. I had to be out of town during the time the work was being done, but he kept in touch regarding how the progress was and what items needed to be purchased to complete the work. There were some problems that I could not figure out what was needed to fix, but Monty had the experience to do it in a way that was appropriate for a house going on the market.
Description of Work: Several jobs around the house preparing it for sale. This included obtaining equipment for and repairing a shower that was not functioning, putting up blinds, trimming wood doors to clear a newly placed carpet and repairing door handles.

after two phone calls it was apparent they had no desire to do the job; ll kinds of excuses, finally that "maybe" in November (2-3 weeks after initial contact). One wonders why they are in business, and certainly why they bid on this "special offer" on Angie's List. It also makes me question whether I will rely on this list for future work.

Description of Work: Monte called and left 2 messages on my answering machine. I tried to e- mail him and left s message about contacting me, but I never heard back from him until after I cancelled his services. I don't know how long customers are to wait for responses. He was told his services were cancelled.
