It went well. John from Milwaukee Home Services arrived when he said he would and he was able to install the new ceiling fan in the two hours of his time that I purchased as part of an Angie's Big Deal. There was a considerable delay between the time I purchased the Big Deal and John installing the ceiling fan. However, I do not fault John or Milwaukee Home Services. Angie's List needs to honor contractor requests to limit the number of Big Deals that can realistically be handled by that contractor and Angie's List members need to chill with the "F" ratings because they were not first in line and had to wait for what was obviously a VERY GOOD DEAL.
Description of Work: Removed an old ceiling fan and installed a new one.

John removed an old bathroom mirror without any damage to the wall. He then removed two toilet paper holders and a towel bar from the wall and patched the holes in the drywall that were left by removing them. Overall a great job. Happy with the results!

John was great when he got here, was very on time, and ready to go. Would use him again......
Description of Work: I don't want to give him a bad grade, but he emailed all of us saying he had a big project he had to finish, and would get us on his calender. I emailed him wanting something done after the 16th of May(upon his request to wait), and he did not respond. I will call him now, and hope he can help us soon

Provider contacted us in two days requesting suggested dates for service. We provided several dates, but hear nothing for several weeks. He phoned us later to say that he had sent email earlier explaining that there would be a delay because he was over-committed for a larger job. We did not receive any such email (which does NOT mean that he did not send it). We then explained that the job (reseating a support beam on a garage patio) was not an emergency, and that we hoped to hear from him at his convenience.

Description of Work: John replaced two smoke detectors (hard wired), repaired a sliding closet door that was "off" track, hung a wall shelf and advised me on an appropriate replacement for my 25 year old sump pump.

It went very well. I'd recommend him and will likely use him again in the future for other challenging projects I can't tackle myself.

He was very good. He did what we asked but it did take him longer. So he did charge us for the extra half hour. What was weird was after I paid him he said, " I forgot to charge the $5 for caulk." I thought, "Hmmm." but I gave it to him. I paid a check to him and after I gave the check he said that he forgot the $5 for the caulk. I thought that was unprofessional but that was my opinion. What he did was good but with his little side note I just thought "Hmmm." With 5 bucks I just shut my mouth. He came on time and he was personable.
Description of Work: I have a Big Deal purchase from Milwaukee Home Services for their handymen services. He caulked the tub and it was excellent. He also fixed two drains and out an electrical box.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review for my business. You are right about the caulk. I should have taken a little extra time to make sure that I included that $5 for the caulk when I had you write the check. I really enjoyed working for you and your husband, and I really appreciated the cup of coffee you gave me on that cold morning. Please don't hesitate to call me when you need something taken care of.

John hung a 2 x 4 pegboard in my sewing studio and fastened my fireplace screen to the hearth. He was very precise and careful measuring and hanging the pegboard. It looks wonderful! And I am very grateful that the fireplace screen is no longer wobbly! I feel very confident that John will bring the same integrity, care, and expertise to any job he does, and I will most definitely call on him again.

John was quick to follow up after I signed up for the deal on Angie's list. He was very thorough in his work and was able to purchase some of the items needed after I sent him cell phone pictures of the items I needed repairs on. That helped him focus on the work rather than having to leave to go purchase some items. A part for entry door repair is on back order and he will be coming back to complete that last job.
Description of Work: John took care of a variety of projects including drywall repair, electrical work, and cabinet installation.

John was very prompt in sending an email for the initial contact. He was immediately accessible by phone and easy to talk to. He set up an appointment with my daughter since we were buying the 2 hour special for her and her husband. Since the appointment was delayed by an emergency, he called to explain that he would be late. When he came, he worked efficiently and skillfully to fix all the problems . He secured their front door lock which had been a problem for years. He replace the front door bell. He replace 2 cartridges in the bathroom sink and cured a dripping problem. He added 4 large hooks to a front hall coat rack, so it is now twice as useful as before. He glued on a bathroom tile which also was a problem for years and the tile remains secure. Everything that he fixed is working perfectly now and looks good too. My daughter and her husband were very pleased.
Description of Work: John fixed a front door lock, Repaired a leaking bathroom faucet, secured a tile in the bathroom, added hooks to a coat rack, replace a front doorbell, and maybe more that I've forgotten.

Thanks to your daughter and her husband for their patience. I was fixing a pretty bad water leak at the customer before, and I needed some extra time to get things right. I called them and asked if I could delay and they were agreeable. I was really glad to get the jobs they needed done for them. I thought you giving them the service was a very nice thing to do. Thank you!

John responded to my purchase the day I bought the 2 hour service. He showed up exactly on time and went immediately to work. He was able to accomplish everything on my To Do list and was able to extend his time to accomplish some of the things on my Wish List. He is easy and comfortable to talk with and I felt very comfortable being alone with him in my home. I would definitely hire him again and will recommend him to others.
