Working with Hunter was a great experience. I was having to move for a job, and needed to get those minor repairs that tend to pile up done so the house could be put on the market. Hunter walked thru the whole house with me, inside & out, and pointed out some minor things in addition to the list that I had jotted down. He made a plan, arrived on-time with his assistant, & the two of them worked for several days. I found Hunter to be very organized, detail-oriented, and sensitive to my situation. His assistant, Buck, was great! Buck came back over the weekend to finish up some of the painting, while the weather was still nice. I really appreciate Hunter's skills, his ability to talk you through what needs to happen, and problem solving. There were a couple of things where I knew there was a problem, & Hunter was able to suggest a cost-effective solution. I would not hesitate to hire him again, for any project, big or small.
Description of Work: Hunter & his assistant helped me with some minor repairs & painting in my home.

Description of Work: We set an appointment and waited for him to show. When he didn't, I called him to find out the status of his arrival (my house can be hard to find). He told me that he was still at a job and couldn't make the appointment until later (why didn't he call prior to tell me that??). | |Upon arrival, he gave us an assessment of the work and a verbal quote, which I personally thought was way too high for the amount of work that needed to get done. But we were willing to go with it, given his recommendations. When I asked him to send me a quote via email and an approximate date that he could start, he got very offended and told me that he usually operated on a "hand shake deal." I've gotten burned in the past from such encounters and told him that I would be more comfortable with a written quote. I gave him my email address and he said he would send the information. Its been more than a month and I haven't heard a peep. Obviously, he believes himself to be too good to provide a quote, a practice that I find shady and unprofessional.

Description of Work: Hunter installed Atticat insulation in my attic. He had to go all the way to Winchester VA to pick up the 20 bags, because the Ranson WV home depot did not get the delivery they were expecting. Hunter and his helper were great! They were neat, professional, and cleaned up after they were finished. I will be using Hunter again for other home projects.

Hunter and his crew are extremely professional. He answers calls on the 1st ring, is punctual, and very thorough. I also appreciate that he informs you at all times what is he intending do and checks frequently to make sure the owner's wishes and concerns are being met. In addition, his fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend his and company and work to anyone.
Description of Work: Hunter tackled a very difficult problem that no one else would attempt. He replaced a rotten garage wall, reinforced a greenhouse structure, replaced and rebuilt the damaged places in the roof and greenhouse.

It went very well. Hunter responds promptly and keeps me updated as his schedule alters for minor changes. He is easy to deal with; he is polite, and accommodating, and will make suggestions to help make a project just that much better. His work is excellent. Everything he has done here is/works exactly as expected and hoped for. As several jobs remain on my list, Hunter will be asked to return, as I respect his abilities and trust his decision making and problem solving skills.
Description of Work: He has installed lights and mirrors, repaired drywall, put in a bannister, and installed a solar gate and fence.

Last week he came to the property, he looked at the problem, and then wrote down the proposal. He did not have a licences but he did have insurance. He said he would come in the next few days. After that I tried to get a time from him. He said he had a death in the family, so we were rescheduled for 8:00 Monday. He did not not call or show up, I waited and waited. I called him and he said well I forgot and there wasn't actually a death in the family.
Description of Work: He came out and gave a quote.

Response from Hunter The Handyman
After meeting with (member name removed)and giving him a quote we continued to talk for a while, after leaving the meeting I thought about our conversation red flags started popping up He didn't come across as a straight shooter.So I told him a story hoping he would get someone else I knew after reflecting our conversation Alan had told me he had been flipping house for many years I started wondering where and why he didn't have people to do these repairs .H (member name removed)showed me a paper from the prospective buyers that said they wanted a engineer certified repair .I told (member name removed)he would have to get a drawing from a engineer and I could make the repair.(member name removed)said to me the customer didn't need a engineered repair they get what they get.I was slow at the time and needed the work but after thinking about him saying they get what they get I realized he wasn't the type of people I want to work for.I should have Just told him straight up No.My mistake ,next time I feel uncomfortable I wont make an excuse I'll just say no thanks

Hunter answered the phone on the first try and did the job the next day. He and his assistant, Buck, did a perfect job that we're very happy with. Courteous and flexible. We will use Hunter again.

Hunter did a wonderful job. He was very punctual and he kept us informed of his progress. Hunter worked hard to stay on schedule when the weather interrupted the work. His work looks absolutely great.
Description of Work: Hunter re-built a porch that was suffering from rotted wood. He replaced tongue and groove boards on a second porch. He replaced windows frames that were rotting.
