Description of Work: Wooley provided an estimate on March 24 and scheduled April 27 to begin work. I called all last week. He never returned calls nor did he show up. I took off 3 days of work.

Description of Work: I had him out to install a garbage disposal on one side and replace the drain on the other. Installed the garbage disposal on the wrong side and ran out of time for the other item before his next appointment. Acknowledged it would have made more sense on the other side, "but oh well." Workmanship was fine, but you need to be VERY explicit with what you want or you'll end up disappointed.

Everything went great! He did a very good job, was very punctual, cleaned everything up when he was finished, and his prices are more than fair. I would very highly recommend him!

Although there was a small snafu, Wooly encountered an injury on another project which postponed our start date, he communicated really well with us throughout the process. Always prompt, friendly, and professional...we never felt that the process was difficult...which ultimately important because that's why we pay someone to handle stuff we could do by ourselves. Invoice came in under budget, work went by quicker than expected, and again...we appreciated the outstanding communication. Would certainly recommend and use again.
Description of Work: Wooly cleaned out our gutters, scraped and painted our windows and overhang, and re-wired a lights on our deck.

It was excellent. I highly recommend him to anyone. I would call him at anytime to do work for me. He always does great work. When he says he will be at your house to do the work, he will show up. If something comes up and he can't make it, he will always call and reschedule. He is very careful and neat.
Description of Work: I had him do some painting, help me clean windows, put in a waterline in the side of the house through the brick, connected a water line to a hose, and did some carpentry work.

My wife came home and was amazed how well it looked.
Description of Work: I have a number of exposed electrical connections for the power (UPS - 1500 watt) setups regarding my computers. We also have two Siamese cats who are extremely curious about these connections. In order for them not to be electrocuted, I required two enclosed cabinets with self cooling. He created two framed and screened cabinets under my desk system that would keep the cats away from the electrical systems and yet allowed for me to have access to each. The cabinets where screened and stained to match my systems. His workmanship was excellent as always and not overly expensive.

Extremely well. John rarely takes a break and works quicly and cleanly.
Description of Work: Cabinetry repairs, hang materials in garage. Relocate materials to garage and locate.
Wooly has been doing work for us for that last three years. He does beautiful carpentry work, and I haven't found anything that he hasn't been able to do as a handyman. He is always punctual and charges fair prices.
Description of Work: Wooly has built shelves, a vent hood for our range, corbels for our mantel and breakfast bar to name a few. He has done numerous remodeling projects and repair projects in our home. He's repaired siding, repaired our outdoor fence, cleaned our gutters, demolished our basement after water damage, and more. He is very knowledgeable, and when there is something he doesn't know he always does research or gets a second opinion. We don't know what we would do without him.

was mischarged for services. Was quoted a labor rate of $25 per hour for our job. Without informing us, he brought along a helper and charged us an additional $20 for labor without discussing this with us. Not only did he charge us this additional fee but he charged us for hours that his helper left to run errands and go to class. When we received our bill and was surprised with the additional charges he wouldn't compromise. We ended up in small claims court. Beware and get everything in writing.
Description of Work: installation of hardwood floor in dining room. Work was less than perfect. The floor ended up un level, he should have bulit up the base better to have it level and board "popped" up. Although he told me he installed a hardwood floor down by gluing it, he didn't seem to have much experience with it.

I used Angie's list to find a handyman. I had a number of jobs that I wanted done in a timely manner. Our home is 15 years old and I want to keep it looking good. I was very pleased with "Wooly's" work. He had a workmate, Rich, who was also a very conscientious, fine worker. They came on time and worked full days. They worked until 9 pm on the last day of the job to finish it. Without question I will contact Wooly in the future.
Description of Work: Scraped, primed and painted four dormers (two story house). Scraped, primed and painted four areas on our Hardiplank that were blistered and peeling . Reinforced the frame of our garage utility door, installed a dead bolt lock on the door, replaced yard light ficture and a door bell. Power washed deck, replaced sections of the railing and one post that were rotting. Scraped, primed and re-stained the deck.

The job went very well. Wooly called when he said he'd call and came over to double-check things if there was a question. He was always on time and did a beautiful job on our kitchen and our fireplace mantel. Everything looks like it has always been there except that it's much better. He was always polite and neat.
Description of Work: "Wooly" built a new vent hood for our cook-top and new shelves for the kitchen as well as new mantel corbels and support base for our flat-screen TV. He also perfectly matched the two different stains of our existing woodwork.
