To make a long story short I purchased an out of state investment property in Indianapolis…read more However, I was swindled by the seller and the properties were not as they appeared. I was stuck in a horrible position with the property management company I was working with and being out of state only made it worse. I searched for a contractor to help me get the properties fixed and rented out so I could finally make some income. I found a Val here on yelp and we began to communicate. Since the very beginning Val has been responsive, kind, understanding, knowledgeable, professional and attentive. He provided me with estimates for work that need to be done and we went forward. The properties were rehabbed thanks to Val and not only did it and there. Val went out of his way to meet with potential tenants to show them the properties during the day while he was working on other projects for other customers. He must've showed those properties to a couple dozen people and eventually he helped me decided on tenants. Val even helped me find a good lease agreement. Does it end there? Nope. Val continue to help me and get the lease agreement signed by the tenets. He mailed me lease agreements, first months rent and deposits through money orders in the mail. That's it's right? Again no. Doesn't end there. Soon after the property is rented out small issues came up with tenets mostly regarding the plumbing. Val was quick to show up to the properties and take care of the issues. Of course none of this was free, but was it worth what I paid. Absolutely. Now is this the end? No. After this experience with Val I have decided on one thing. I will continue to invest in properties in Indianapolis and I will only work with Val. He is a one stop shop and I know that working with him I will be OK. Val thank you my friend for all the work you have done for me. You are a great contractor but I consider you an even better friend now.

We are first-time homeowners. When our gutters EPICALLY failed on Day 3, the day after they were…read moreprofessionally cleaned, I panicked. I contacted Val who immediately got back to me, did research on the property from the listing photos, and diagnosed the problem instantly. The next day, I got an estimate much less than another company's, and Val was continuously in contact with me at all times. We scheduled to do the gutter replacement about a week after the first conversation, and his crew arrived on time and got the work done without fuss. But here's the best part: not only did he look at the roof for me because I told him I was concerned about my inspection report's inadequacy, he surveyed almost everything on the exterior of my house. He identified roof issues, vent issues, pointed out rot, noted where things were installed cheaply, etc. He didn't pressure us into any work, he simply laid out the things my inspector should have caught, sent me pictures, and gave me advice for how and when to address some of the issues. He was honest in explaining much of this is on our dime. He was also frank in saying the inspector should give us the extent of the money laid out in the contract because he did such a poor job. He also was clear in that so long as I don't have stains on my ceiling, it wasn't an emergency, so I didn't feel pressured, I felt educated. I'm going to fix this house. I'm going to use Val to get it done. If I were you, I'd use him, too.

They were very thorough and explained everything very well despite our many questions. I appreciate their expertise! They went above and beyond any contractor that had previously done work at our house. They ensured crews showed up and knew their assignments.

Their combined expertise solved years old issues for us and our house now looks beautiful again! Thanks so much!!!

Unfortunately, this is a little bit of a half review because the work with universal was not really…read morecompleted from start to finish. Universal was very responsive and very helpful in coming to inspect and assess a house. I was purchasing in the Hamilton County area on the roof. The individual they sent I believe his name was. Kyle was very nice and very thorough. He took lots of pictures and gave me lots of very clear communication and explanation. He was very honest as well as far as how good or how bad his findings were. Which was fantastic!! His findings also coincided with the findings of the home inspection report and home inspectors that were also on site. So it's good to know that not only were they looking at the same things, but that they also assessed and concluded similar findings. Unfortunately, I had asked for a report that detailed out the findings that I never received it. I did follow up twice and still never received it. Although this assessment was free of charge that is irrelevant, I was still expecting and promised a report. While they did come with high recommendation, which is why I reached out to this company I would expect that they close the loop with a potential client with the report in the findings so that those estimates can be taken into consideration for actual execution once I close on the house

No show at the job. Told me the bank took the money for past bills due that hadn't been paid. Tried to then tell me he had a wife and 2 kids die in a car crash in February. Sent me photos of a woman and kids who could have been anyone off the internet. What kind of logic is that. Also said that he took his deceased wife's grandmother in to live with him as she didn't have a place to stay. Then proceeded to tell me he needed another advance of $1400 to go back to the job. I ended up calling the Avon IN cops to see what his public record is. No record of a car crash in Camby in February with a mother and two children passing. Public record for anyone that wants to get info on some other things he has done. Do your research!!!! Anyway - gave him a second chance and sent him $100. No show at the job again. Zeke T and Carla C can tell you as well.

Gordie helped us through many of the nuances of this very bad claim experience and he did this before knowing they were going to get the job or get paid. His character showed through in the fact that he was more concerned with justice and helping us out than just trying to 'get the job'. Working with Trim It Up was a pleasure and dealing with Emily who keeps the communications flowing and is very responsive. We felt confident working with them for the entire 7 months it took to get our work done. I can say a lot more, but the point is ... they went over and above.

He gave us a quote and we agreed. Brett told us it would take 2 days. Brett was at our house two days. He saw my wife on day 1 and saw me on day 2. He commented that things were going well and he would be done at the end of day 2 as originally stated/quoted. Brett never stated there was an issue with supplies or time. Two days later via email, Brett lets me know that he will be charging us $400 more for the job because of the extra supplies he had to buy. Brett, said he was being "gracious" and not charging us for the extra man hours he put in on the project, even though we were originally quoted 2 days and the project took two days. Him not being upfront and communicating when he was onsite, as his website says (he has a new name Haus Craft, formerly Fairly Handy, and you can't find any reviews online of Haus Craft), was disappointing.

Paul did an outstanding job and made what could have been a stressful project feel easy and straightforward. From the very beginning, Paul was incredibly responsive and patient with all of my questions, and I had A LOT of questions! I'm sure some of them were a little over the top, but Paul never made me feel like I was asking too much. He took the time to explain everything, answer every question, and make sure we were comfortable with the work and the process. The communication throughout the project was excellent. Everything was scheduled as promised, and the crew completed the entire roof in just one day! They did a great job, and the cleanup afterward was excellent. They were very thorough and left our property looking great. Even after the job was completed, Paul and 3 Kings Roofing continued to make sure everything was taken care of, including following up on the lifetime warranty. That kind of customer service really makes a difference. I would absolutely recommend 3 Kings Roofing, and if you have the opportunity to work with Paul, I think you'll be very happy with the experience.
