Description of Work: John repaired the side of the large door of my garage that I had clipped with my car. He replaced a number of trim boards and repainted the whole frame of the large door of the garage. In all of this we was very punctual and professional and did a wonderful job. I asked John about other jobs of a more handyman nature, and he decided against those, but gave me the name of another good provider.

Description of Work: I was very pleased withe all the work the client did and the professionalism with which is was performed but due to Groupon giving the service twice as many service calls as they had asked for it took many months before the client was able to perform the work. Then they were to have come back to me with a quote on a new side garage door but have yet to receive anything after a few months.

Description of Work: We had him repair custom cabinet built-ins that had started falling apart. It was a challenge, but he came up with two potential solutions, asked us for our preference, and then made the repairs to our satisfaction. It's very nice to be able to use that cabinet again.

Description of Work: We received an email from the provider that AngiesList had oversold his services, and that he would contact us again in the future when he was caught up. This was on 4/24/2014. Today is 9/9/2014 and we haven't heard back from him yet. I would've expected some kind of monthly update email from him, letting us know where we stand on his list. This is too bad. We have no idea if we missed out on a great, local handyman. But the lack of communication says something, so perhaps it's for the best.

Description of Work: We hired him on a deal for 2 hours of handyman work. He hung some guitars in our basement that we needed hung and did a very good job. | |Angie's List oversold his deal and it sounds like he lost some confidence in some clients because of the work overload. Angie's List should work to support these businesses better than just trying to raise revenue for the company. I will not be renewing my Angie's List subscription as a result of the treatment given this provider.

Description of Work: Signed up for this service on April 10, 2014. As of June 16, 2014 services still not performed. He had so many responses, he could not handle them all. I can't review the quality yet, and I think the provider is sincere, but there must be a better way of doing this.

Description of Work: John Ginderske seemed like a nice guy on the phone. I initially got his phone number from Angie's List to see if the work I needed done would be covered under the Deal. He said no, but that he would come and visit and give me a bid. I called him back and said that I purchased the deal anyway for some small work and would be glad to see him for a bid on the larger stuff. When I called him again he said that Angie's List had sold twice as many deals as he was able to handle and that he was upset because not being able to respond was going to make him look unprofessional. But since I had called him he promised to get to me no later than May 16. It's now May 27 and I have not heard from him. So It seems that blame falls both on him and Angie's List (if his story is accurate,) and |I wonder where in cyberspace is my $69.00? | |Patsy Norman |2580 N.

We had initially wanted a clothes chute installed in our home, so John came over and spent some time looking at our house and analyzing the options for a free estimate. After further consideration, we decided against the clothes chute, and instead had him install a garbage disposal for us, which required some electrical work, as well. He completed the work in a timely manner, cleaned up after himself, and overall seems like a nice, trustworthy person. After the work was done, we spent some time chatting with him about other possibilities for updates to our home. John seems to have alot of knowledge and experience with many types of work, we will have him back to do more work for us in the future.
Description of Work: Installed garbage disposal. Looked at garage roof leak.

Thanks for the review, it was certainly my pleasure to work for you. I hope that I can continue to help you with your future projects.
He fixed my faucet; as it was down to a trickle. It is running well now. I then asked him to shovel some snow off of a short roof. He tried to chop up some ice for me. But the ice won. We also talked about some further options on the roof. I called him in the morning and he was here right on time at 1:30 pm. Very pleasant man.
Description of Work: I hired a handyman to work on the sink and clear the roof.

Well, I just expected John to put in a total of four screws to secure the wood boards to the bottom of the couch, but he used his screws and put four in each end of the boards for a total of 16! That couch is stronger now than when it was new over 20 years ago! The hooks for the wall required some anchors. I showed him the different anchors I had and he picked out two and installed them. Those hooks will still be standing 100 years from now. Excellent job!
Description of Work: John repaired my couch(it needed to be braced with some 1 X 4's as the one leg was giving way)and fixed a row of hooks that were falling out of my wall.

John did a great job unclogging and cleaning all the gutters on my house. He was very professional, showed up on time, and performed all tasks thoroughly. John even made sure that one of my gutters was securely re-attached with additional screws (at no additional cost). I would hire again for this task and other home maintenance tasks. Highly recommended.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. It was a pleasure working for you.
John from Milwaukee Home Services was probably the most professional contractor I have ever worked with. We were in the process of selling our house and needed our deck in the back rebuilt and pitched away from the house because the basement had some issues with water entering into the house. Not only was the price very reasonable but everything was done very professionally and on schedule. He started early and finished late and made sure everything was finished on time and done correctly. I highly recommend John from Milwaukee Home Services for all your handyman work and I know that I will be calling him for any and all of my repairs in the future. Not only decking but pretty much any handyman services. It's always comforting finding honest and hard working people in today's environment and I hope that this review brings his business some well deserved work.
Description of Work: Improve wall behind deck and doorway so that flashing can be installed. Install and seal flashing at house so that water will follow the path of the re-pitched ( mudjacked ) side walk and flow away from the house. Build new porch with treated lumber the same size as the damaged porch. Pitch porch correctly so that any water will flow away from the house.
