My husband and I cannot say enough good things about how helpful John was. He was able to see what needed to be done and what didn't need to be done, and the easiest way to do them. His charges were much less than the other person we talked to. My sister had lived here well over 20 years and there were many things that needed to be fixed. John spent most of 2 days here. We are ready for the photographer!
Description of Work: We had many things to be repaired before selling my sister's condo.

It went beautifully. I can't express my gratitude enough. I had spoken to several contractors - but I didn't have a genuine level of confidence that the job would turn out very well. Also, the details that went into this project were not for an amateur. Everything was completed on time and with a level of excellence that is second to none. My neighbors have complimented me on the job.
Description of Work: I had repairs done to both my garage roof - which was re-shingled, but also I needed custom carpentry work done to the soffits and facia all around the garage. It was not an easy job - and it required a lot of professional expertise. The previous owners of my home had placed a satellite dish and a basketball hoop on the roof of the garage - when those items were removed - they didn't fill in the holes or patch the roof. The garage had extensive weather/water damage. There were sections that were literally falling off. It also had 2 layers of old cheap shingles on it.

After reading all the good reviews on Angie's List, I was disappointed that I didn't receive a return call from Milwaukee Home Services. I left a voicemail message, and I have not heard anything from them. I have hired someone else.

All of the work completed was top notch! John pays incredible attention to detail and goes the extra mile to ensure the job is done right, done well and on time. For example, the interior door required lowering the door frame and upper casing. Because the original wall was textured plaster, he brought textured paint for the finishing touches! Before he started, John explained the work/process he was going to use and why, potential costs, and was happy to answer our questions and concerns. He was punctual (he let us know what time we could expect him each day) and considerate of our property and pets. He cleaned up each of the work areas, and sealed off those that could expose our parrot to dust/debris or fumes. He was also transparent about a hiccup with the interior door (vendor had supplied the wrong size) and the delay it would have on our project. The price was reasonable given the quality of parts/supplies and craftsmanship. He provided an upfront estimate, and made us aware of changes as the projects continued. At the end, he walked through an itemized list of charges. Excellent customer care, service and work overall!
Description of Work: John replaced two difficult-size-to-find doors, one interior (including some drywall work) and one exterior entry door on a garage, installed baseboard molding in the kitchen, dining room and side entryway, added garage beam roof support, and also performed a few odds and ends interior items-caulking behind the kitchen sink and replacing woodwork around a window.

The wall looks like great. He removed the piping, capped the exterior pipe, insulated, dry walled and patched the area. John is a hard worker with great skills. He can fix anything inside and outside of your house. I'm having him coming back next month for another project.

Did a good job repairing about 12 areas of dry wall holes, wrinkles, and cracks; installed a new water heater and replaced itsfaulty venting system; installed new water faucet up to code requirements; removed and replaced kitchen light fixture; removed broken shower door and replaced with a better and more attractive door. He had some struggles with the water heater venting, but continued working on it until is was up to code and and there was NO leaking. John is very conscientious and a hard worker. Will definitely use him again and again.

the $69.00 was taken out of my checking account 4/15/14. We have talked and he is still trying to fit me into his schedule. If this goes on for another week I will ask for my money back. I'm not sure he will be able to put up a ceiling fan . He sounded unsure. He finally came but was unable to put up a ceiling fan. He balanced my washing machine and a few other odd jobs.

My porch looks awesome. Quality of work was excellent. I have had neighbors and strangers comment on how great it looks and what an outstanding job was done! Some of these people work in this business and the we're impressed! John worked with me every step of the way and was very professional and willing to make changes when I changed the plan. I also needed to have the front of the house resided and John found siding to match my existing siding which has faded over the years so I didn't need to reside the whole house. This saved me significant money. John handled every detail of this job and I could not be more pleased. He truly loves his work and providing quality at a reasonable price. Simply put - just outstanding! I wish I could post pictures here to do the job justice.
Description of Work: Complete removal of existing front entry way. Replaced with a large front porch with roof and angled steps. Also obtained permit for work and arranged subcontractor for electrical. Installed siding.

He seemed to have had too many deals sold for him to complete and asked if we could wait several weeks for service which was fine, but we never heard from him for service and eventually I forgot about the deal. I cancelled the Big Deal for a refund.

The work was done well and he was professional. Because my home being older he ran into a small issue but it did not take long to come up with a resolution. Matter of minutes. Everything worked out just fine and my son was very happy with his new light..will hire again. Thank you.

John did a great job with the curtain rods and pictures. He was professional, tidy, and respectful of my home. He's also not a smoker, so I did not have to deal with third hand smoke coming into the house. I have very old (plaster) walls, and the curtains and curtain rods that I wanted to use were very heavy and required some extra care. I noticed the negative reviews regarding the Angie's List coupons, but those reviews were not relevant to me since I was not trying to use any coupons. (In my opinion, it seems like this was a problem stemming from AL and the number of coupons they issued.) I would absolutely call Milwaukee Home Services in the future.

John was on time, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He provided some screws that were of a higher quality than the ones included in the rod packages. We did have a mix-up in dates, but my job wasn't urgent and I did not mind at all. I would definitely recommend John to others who need a bit of help with their homes and I would use him again. Thank you, Angie's List.

It was okay. He put up a couple of cabinets in the garage. We already had the cabinets. He said he couldn't find the studs and spent a lot of time just hanging 2 cabinets. He also put a strip on in the kitchen. I feel like he should have done more work for those 2 hours. He seemed to be a good guy & did a good job overall.

This handyman was overwhelmed with response to his Angie's List ad, so had trouble scheduling in a timely way. Nevertheless, he always responded to emails, and after a number of weeks (and one cancellation on my part, we did finally agree on a date. He arrived in the approximate time frame and put up my heavy mirror with help from a neighbor. He had trouble finding studs with any tools at hand, and seemed inexperienced at re-wiring the mirror in a safe way. With hit & miss approach, and one "re-do" for centering as requested, he succeeded. There are a lot of holes in the wall, but they are covered by the mirror. He installed bathroom floating shelves, with some complaints about the quality of screws being inferior (a Menard's product) - 2 broke in the process. He did not offer to replace them and told me one shelf would not be removeable without a lot of effort, should I want to when painting the walls. Overall,it took 2 hours - a bargain at the special rate - though he got a little less done than I hoped. The effort it took and aggravation expressed by this handyman was a bit over the top for a professional. He very kindly did not charge me for some incidentals (new bolts for hanging mirror).

I bought an Angie's List Deal of the Day for 2 hours worth of Handyman services. The handy man never got in touch with me. I reached out to him twice. He was polite and apologetic on the phone and told me Angie's List oversold his service. He said they sold twice the number they were supposed to so he was very behind schedule. I was understanding and agreed he could get back to me in late July to schedule our service, but twice I never heard back from him and it's now September.... we just hired someone else to do the handyman jobs we had hoped to get done in April....
