    Where to start with my HoneyDo Men review? PART 1 I will make this as brief as I can just hitting the "high lights". My job consisted of putting a new roof on my house and tearing up my concrete garage floor and pouring a new one. The job was scheduled for two days although I expected it may take more than that. Well, the job took almost 3 months. The roof was done without much mishap. I had to have them come back and replace some siding they had taken off leaving a section of my houses wall, that we could not see, exposed. That did leak the first rain we had. Other than that, the roofing was fine. As for my garage floor, they were supposed to tear up the old concrete, level and remove dirt as needed to put down three inches of gravel and four inches of concrete. I will bullet point the fun from there. * They removed the old concrete, tamped down the dirt level then added wire reenforcement on top of the dirt. * I then asked about the three inches of gravel because there was no gravel on site. * I was told it was coming and it did arrive the next day where they proceeded to put it down on top of the wire screen and without digging any dirt out. * They then put the concrete down. * Mind you, this is three inches worth of gravel and 4 inches of concrete going into a 4 inch depth hole. * In doing this they took my cracked broken but FLAT floor and gave me a floor which was more than 7 inches high in the back down to 4 inches in the front. * On top of the very steep slope, the concrete was rippled, cratered and broom brushed with a big push broom leaving the ridges in the concrete .25 inches high. * That didn't fly, so they said they would add concrete to level the floor. * They added concrete but it was not close to level. It had waves and divots and was far from being level. I'm talking inches of difference. * They ground the floor down and added another layer. This one was pretty good. * The job was done! I thought I was home free even though my garage floor was now about 8 to 9 inches higher than it used to be. * Well once they were all gone I found two areas on my lawn covered in concrete where the workers cleaned their equipment. I had to pry that up so my lawn could be lawn. * They left my driveway covered in concrete dust and wet run-off which has stained the surface. * After this I got a dumpster to remove junk I had in my garage that had been sitting outside during the entire job. While loading it the dumpster I found three contractor bags filled with about 50 to 75 pounds each of dry, unused concrete. * Mind you I had to pay by the pound for this removal. They added at least 200 pounds to my total. * Once all the junk and trash was removed I found and 3 foot square area of hardened concrete on my driveway and the retaining wall that I still have to bust up. * Finally all is done!... except for the fact that the first time it rained, water ran into my garage because the new floor sloped into the garage from the doors. I had to buy a grinding disk For over $50 to grind those areas down sloping them outside rather than inside. Thats about it. I told HoneyDo Men about all of this and they did try to address everything except for the bags of dry concrete and the pile of hardened concrete under those bags. I told them about those issues but heard nothing back about them. I did not tell even mention to them about having to grind concrete outside the doors. Over all, they did a fine job with the roof (after the whole leaving my side wall exposed) but they should never have agreed to do the garage floor. The people they hired the first two tries had no idea what they were doing. Nightmare three months. It took three months because they rarely had anyone here more than one day out of three. Thats the "highlights". The short version. Oh, one more thing that was in the contract: they were supposed to remove and replace any rotter areas of sill plate. There was at least 15 to 20 feet of sill plate to be replaced. They did one maybe two foot section and just didn't do the rest even though it was brought up a number of times. Thanks

    Darrell and his team are extremely professional from quotes to execution of the job. His teams are timely and keep everything clean and clear from start to finish. The roof was starting to collect mold and needed to be cleaned. The fireplace stacks and caps needed to be painted and caulked. Finally, the driveway needed to be sealed. They arrived on time and got the work done on the days scheduled without being a distraction to me in my home office. With the grey blacktop sealer I had them apply, I can already notice the 20% reduction in surface heat from the driveway. Honey Do Men are not the cheapest nor most expensive; however, they get the job done right the first time and they stand behind their work. Thanks!!!

    $500 CHARGED to repair damaged roof tiles. 1 tile fixed the rest not!!!!

    I got Joe's name through Home Depot. He was professional, good communication, timely and…read morereasonable. Our Shed turned out great. I would use again.

    Joe is a friendly, hardworking, and resourceful contractor. When it comes to managing the projects…read moreand schedules, however, he wasn't very reliable. 1. Incomplete work to date I hired them for two separate projects: one indoors and one outdoors. I was impressed at how quickly he started and made good progress at the beginning. But as the project reached about 85% completion, he stopped coming and started getting busy with other client projects. After 1.5 months of trying to schedule his time, I finally decided to stop expecting him to come back. It's disappointing because they are "almost" complete but not "fully" done. He promised me it'll take just one more full day to finish everything up, but that "one day" never happened. Outdoors agreed scope of work - Fix the open gap from the chain link fence: incomplete (original ask) - Fix the retaining wall drainage system: complete (added scope) Indoors agreed scope of work - Replace all baseboard heater covers: incomplete - Renovate the bathroom: mostly complete, but he didn't reattach the door trims, window trims, and other finishing. 2. Clumsy scoping and invoicing I asked him to replace all baseboard heater covers at the house. He counted every piece in every room and ordered the items for me, for which I paid. But he missed taking corner pieces and end caps into account, and also missed one whole section. Fine. He ordered the missing pieces. I paid him immediately (worth $431.04) but haven't received any of the additional items yet. It's been over a month since the invoice. He told me he'll ship them to me, but I'm not sure when (whether) I'd ever receive them at all. As part of the bathroom renovation, he included $600 in the invoice for waste removal. But then he told me to call a dumpster company directly to dispose of construction garbage. When I asked for a refund of the amount, he refuses because he "loaded the dumpster" which counts as waste removal service. OK. So, a dumpster rental service cost me $380, and loading it cost me $600. This waste removal is more expensive than my lawyer and accountant combined. When my wife text him to set a schedule. Joe argued that according to his invoices everything has been delivered. Well, while all his invoices have been fully paid, and the physical items on the invoices have been purchased, not everything has been installed and finished. Where's this disconnect? Yes, the drywalls and tiles have been replaced. But the door trims that had been removed while working have not been reattached. Since "door trims" are not on the invoice, don't they count? 3. Scheduling mishaps The project started on April 17 and remained active for two months. During the period, Joe was very responsive and proactive. Starting in June, however, after I was told that "it'll take only one full day to finish up everything," it started becoming difficult to schedule a time with him. The last day he was at my house was June 14, and he promised me to come back the next day, then the following happened: - June 15 (Tue): he didn't come because his car broke down. Promised to come on Friday instead. - June 18 (Fri): he didn't come because he has endoscopy appointment. Promised to schedule another date. - June 21-25 (full week): he didn't come because he was busy with other project. Promised to come on Monday. - June 28 (Mon): he didn't come because he has a court appointment. - June 29-July 16 (three weeks): he didn't come because he's busy and weather doesn't allow for outdoor work. Then he suggests that he come on September 30 instead. I declined as some of the incomplete work posed safety concerns for little kids and I couldn't wait two more months. Life happens, I get it. But endoscopy and court appointments don't just happen--you have to schedule them. When I told him this "double booking" concerns me, Joe argued that his personal matters don't concern me. Right. But, failing to show up at "work appointment" because of schedule conflict with "personal matters" doesn't seem very professional and thus concerns me. Even then, I waited for a full month without complaining. Unfortunately, "the one last day" never really happened. BOTTOM LINE Would I hire him again? Maybe. Only if it's a tightly scoped, clearly defined task, which can be done in one setting. But probably. not. Would I recommend him? Probably not for big scale projects. Maybe for smaller one-day tasks. In any case, not as the first choice. I actually like him as a person. Joe is like a great handyman friend I wish I had. But I didn't seek friendship but a business relationship. It's where the expectation failed.
