Monty is a man of great integrity, I would not hesitate to hire him for any work you have. You can trust him to do the work you yourself would do if you were able :)
Description of Work: Monty helped us upgrade 3 of our bathrooms by removing old vanity tops and replacing with new vanity tops, sinks and faucets. He did a 73" double sink vanity, replaced a pedestal sink with a kohler vanity etc and another single sink vanity top in our basement. Monty did excellent work and we are hiring him to come back to do more work for us next month as he is booked solid for this one!

Monty took on this smaller job without hesitation, was reliable, professional, and did a great job. We were very pleased with the work he did, and his flexibility in completing more than we had originally thought. We definitely recommend Monty/Advanced Home Services. John/Kathy - Madison
Description of Work: Preparing our house for sale we had a number of needs for a professional to caulk.
1. There was an issue with fixing the laminate floor. I asked him to change three pieces of the laminate floor. He ended up patching the floor with a substance. the issue is that substance is a different color than the actual floor. The more I look at it the more I am convinced that I should not have let him patch the floor. After talking to him I got the impression that he does not do a lot of flooring. 2. The change of the light bulb went well. no issue there.

He showed up on time and worked very efficiently. He was very nice to work with.
Description of Work: They changed my front porch light and a shower curtain. They also changed some bathroom lights and a closet light.
Monte installed a sink and faucet in our kitchen after I'd tried to do it myself and made a mess of my laminate countertop (chipped and cracked) and realized I was in over my head. I contacted him this morning (a little before noon) and he responded very quickly. Because it was a rainy day, his afternoon job was not going to happen so he was able to help me instead. He did a great job, was very courteous, kind and professional. The sink looks great. The faucet looks great. Best of all, the job got done. Monte came through in a pinch and I'll ask for his help again in the future.

We purchased the "deal" for $189 for four hours of handyman work from Advanced Home Services, but Monte never called us to find out what we wanted done or when to schedule. We messaged him several times on Angie's List but he still did not calll. So we cancelled and requested our payment to be returned. I wonder why someone would advertise a "deal" if they were too busy to honor it or if they just didn't want to do the work.
Description of Work: We wanted him to do some touch-up painting and install a new door handle and lock, but he wouldn't know that because he did not call us.

Monty put knobs and drawer pulls on all of the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen. He put shelves in the hall closet (left side) that matched the right side perfectly. He was friendly and very capable. We will use him again!
Description of Work: kitchen hardware and closet shelving
Everything went very well from our initial contact all communication was very prompt. The work itself is great, we're so happy to have our lights hung and (finally) have the our railing back. I'm most pleased with the deck, he was able to shore up some of the problem areas and make sure our deck, which is quite old, is safe and secure!

I purchased 4 hours of services - but was not told that I was being charged 1 hour for travel time and 1 hour to pick up supplies - therefore, I really only received 2 hours of service. He did great work however it took all day to do 2 projects - I had to hire additional people to get my work done by the date I need things completed. If you use him get an estimate for time and then a cost (break down) of all charges then you know of all charges upfront. I think my experience would have been better if I had known this upfront. Like I said I liked the work he preformed.

He does good work, but charged for the 2nd hour despite all the work being completed in the first hour. I asked for estimates on some other projects, but he was not able to offer a free estimate that ultimately did not include a price or a time frame.
Description of Work: A pocket door needed to be fixed, dryer vent hose needed to be cleaned out. Full bookshelves needed to be brought upstairs. Half bookshelves needed to moved as well.
Monte did a very nice efficient job. I am very pleased. He had to work me into his busy schedule. I was scheduled for a section 8 inspection and we working it out with both Monte and the inspector.
Description of Work: Monte removed the toilet and vanity and ripped up bathroom floor. Added supports and replaced sub-flooring and flooring. He re-set the toilet and vanity and hooked everything up. He caulked around the tub and vanity.

Monte called ahead to let me know when he'd be over and was right on time. He's very friendly and easy to work with. He really knows his business and takes great care in his work. He worked quickly and efficiently and made sure the job was done right. He took the time to answer any questions I had and was very helpful. I won't hesitate to call Monte again if I need help with a job that is beyond my abilities. With over 30 years of experience he can do it all and I am confident that he will do the job well without wasting any time. I HIGHLY recommend him for any work you need done around your house. Thanks!

It was perfect. There were additional charges. They did everything that I asked to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: They did a bunch of miscellaneous items.
I purchased a "handyman special" through Angie's List of 2 hours of handyman services for $99 from Advanced Home Services. Although Monte (his business card did not have his last name on it) was punctual, and he completed all the tasks I had on my list, I was made to feel uncomfortable at the end of our appointment by a "pitch" Monte made for some kind of life coaching/self help group he belongs to. When he brought some light bulbs in from his van, he also brought a DVD player into my place with a DVD and some other materials that he "thought I might be interested in taking a look at". (The material related to this life coaching thing). As he was finishing up the handyman projects, I quickly glanced at the some of the written material, and could tell that I was not interested at all. I politely told him so at the end of the appointment, and although he didn't push watching the DVD, he did mention that there was a meeting of his group being held at a local hotel that evening, if I was interested in attending. I again declined, and was feeling even more uncomfortable at this point. I don't believe that any casual, polite conversation I may have had with Monte about his interests could have been construed as an invitation to bring in his DVD player, DVD, and other materials for me to have a look at, much less encourage an invitation to one of his group's meetings. I've mulled over whether or not to write a review, because he basically did a good job with the handyman projects, but the more I got to thinking about it, I felt that the other stuff just wasn't right. I thought Angie's List should know, particularly if he's approaching his other Angie's List customers with this same appeal. Long story short -- I will not have him back in my home, and I do not wish to be contacted by him in the future.

My offer was intended to compliment and/or help rather than offend. A person's sensitivity to human interaction may be difficult to measure. Sorry.
Monte was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful. He was very accommodating with my add on projects that were not included in our initial discussion. He was able to complete all of the projects I had been putting off for 18 months in just over a day and everything looks great! I will definitely use Monte at Advanced Home Services again.
Description of Work: Grout and tile work, sanded and stained doors, fixed a toilet, patched walls, checked plumbing in guest bathroom, other miscellaneous (ex. hanging towel bars).

Monte was very responsive to our request when we inquired on here if he was able to do the project. We used the 4 hour handyman service coupon offer. He came to our house a week ago to look at everything and formulate a plan and make sure we had the things needed to install. We scheduled an appointment for a week later. He was here 10 minutes early which was fine and began right away with cutting out the cabinet, installing the power source and new breaker and the plumbing. He did have to leave for about 30 minutes to get a couple parts for the plumbing and bracket to mount the dishwasher to the counter as the open box special dishwasher that we purchased did not have one with it. He worked quickly and was very detailed with his work. After installing it there was a gap in the baseboard between the cabinet and the dishwasher and he asked if I would like it covered and suggested using a piece of the cabinet that was removed and calking it in. I looks great and I couldn't be happier! I will definitely be contacting Monte for any other home projects in the future!
Description of Work: Installed a dishwasher in our home that did not have a dishwasher previously.
