I'm updating my review to reply to the truly bizarre response I just received from the owner. There…read morewas no place in my review where I stated that I expected you to "drop everything" or to "risk everything" in order to complete the job. In fact, in my review I stated that all I asked for was the curtesy to let me know you'd decided you were no longer interested in the job. I left a voicemail, asking if you'd decided not to do it. It would not have required you to drop anything to take less than 30 seconds to reply to the text I had sent with the photos and say you were no longer interested. That would have demonstrated a level of professionalism and common courtesy that should be a cornerstone of your business. Instead, you decide to respond to this review three years later with a passive-aggressive reply that only serves to make you look incredibly unprofessional. No part of my review was unreasonable, and the resolution that I said I hoped for was completely fair. Sending a text message would not have endangered your life or your health, but it would have gone a long way to showing that you're a decent person who cares about doing right by people, even when you aren't going to take the job.

First of all, Chris answered the phone when I called, vs leaving messages for other handymen who…read morenever returned the call. He made the appointment for two days after I called him. He also called the day of the appointment to say they were on their way, and showed up on time. Chris and Lee both wore masks, as well as booties over their shoes. They installed a door handle and deadbolt to replace an outdated set, which of course was a size they don't make anymore, and the door was metal They drilled the hole out, taking care to put down a mat to catch the debris. They also vacuumed up afterward. Price was very reasonable, and when they say no job too small, they mean it. I would definitely call them again. Nice guys, too.

Dave started working on buildings in the late 1990’s and continued onto renovating his own and friend’s homes for years to come.

Along with raising 3 children with his wonderful wife he enjoys cooking, gardening, listening to podcasts and audio books while driving on business, philosophy, economic theory, real estate, and technology and going to sleep while watching instructional videos of construction techniques.

As an out-of-state investor, the photos he showed me looked good. However, once the unit was occupied, a leak at the sink was discovered. He did not answer repeated calls and texts. I reviewed my contract as I prepare to sue him. He is avoiding me, but the court system will demand his attention. Since he is registered as a Home Improvement Contractor, HIC, with PA Attorney General's Office, I am filing a complaint with them as well as Better Business Bureau. Last, this company demands 50% payment upfront, which is against PA contractor regulations. Beware.

I also needed some help getting a new wind stop/chain installed on a swinging screen door in the basement. They were the only service I reached out to who asked for specific details about the jobs before providing a quote, which is a great way to do business. They also provided a real time of expected arrival instead of something like a four-hour window taking up your entire day. They arrived a little before the time quoted with two people - one the main handyman and one being trained. They did a prompt and excellent job and the cost was very fair.

This contractor was recommended to us so I didn't do the proper research before hand. I now have some partially completed, very poor quality carpentry work and a house that is at best half painted and most of that will need to be redone. If you decide to fall for his personality, hopefully you don't get scammed into paying money upfront that you will never see any return on. Likes to promise the world and talk in circles during the job which is what led to us to fire him.

I contacted half a dozen other painters, most of whom were annoying and difficult to just get a quote out of. Rick was courteous and prompt with his communication and his bid was very reasonable. He and his guys were always careful to explain what they were doing and their work ethic was unbelievable. They'd put in long days and worked through the weekend to get the job completed. Rick told me their crew does all kinds of jobs, not just painting. We were a bit skeptical hearing that initially, but after being very pleased with the painting project, we brought them back in to hang and finish drywall on the ~1000 sq. ft addition we were putting onto our house. Our skepticism was proved completely misplaced. They did a beautiful job on the drywall finishing and were out here working Saturdays and Sundays (once until 5pm). Rick and his crew are skilled, fair and hard working. I'm looking forward to hiring them again in the future.
