My parents called for a fence repair early this spring. The job was done quickly and happy with…read morequality. So I called for fence installation estimate in late April. After several days and another phone call, a surly gentleman showed up to take measurements. Have never heard back at all, despite leaving a vm. My parents called again for some soffit repair. Scott showed up a couple days later, but had left his ladder in La Porte. Promised to come back in a day or two. After more than a week, my mom called again and was promised someone would come right out to take care of repair. That was early June.... Nothing since then...Very disappointed!

I recently purchased some glass tile for our backsplash. My husband has experience with installing…read moreceramic tile, but this was his first attempt at glass. There were only a few tiles that needed to be cut, to fit around the outlets, but the tiles that DID need cut kept cracking a few days after they were installed. So, he would take the cracked tile off, cut a new tile, re-install the tile, notice that it had cracked AGAIN, and repeated these steps over FIVE TIMES. We sought out advice from a few friends, but none of their suggestions worked. At this point, we just wanted the backsplash to be finished already, so I reached out to Cedar Valley Handyman and told them I would literally pay them to come install these last few tiles! The Handyman that I spoke with asked questions about what type of saw/blade we were using, what kind of adhesive we were using, etc. and was able to identify that we weren't using the correct adhesive for glass. The adhesive we were using was only for ceramic tile, and the pressure was causing the glass to crack. Mind you, my husband is a handyman himself, and even with years of experience this was new knowledge to him. We went out and purchased the adhesive they recommended, installed the last few tiles and as of a month later NONE OF THE NEW TILES HAVE CRACKED!! Of course I was impressed with their knowledge, but even more so I was EXTEREMELY impressed that instead of taking me up on my offer and getting paid to finish the job, they chose to offer FREE advice. If we ever run into more issues in the future that we can't resolve on our own, Cedar Valley Handyman will be the first company I call!

What can I say about this company? From the front office operation to the installers, these folks…read moredid everything they could to make this experience easy for me. The installer went way over and above. The bidding process was standard and the pricing was fair (do your research, no fence is cheap). The length of delay (good summer months mean lots of people vying for their time) in installation was explained. Scheduling was exceptional - they worked it out so my dogs would have the least amount of time without their yard. Installation went smoothly and without a hitch - installer letting me know each day what was happening that day and the next until project completion. Fair pricing, good communication, helpful staff, and quality installation and product. I'd not go anywhere else for my fence and deck needs in the Cedar Valley.

I can't say enough good things about Austin and his team at Corridor Building & Remodeling. He…read moreliterally saved my project after I had to recover from other businesses that way over promised and under delivered. Austin is highly skilled, meticulous, honest, and cares deeply about making sure the job is done right, and will stand the test of time. He and his team are super reliable, and awesome to work with. Austin's company took on a huge project, installing new windows everywhere and exterior doors (including a super heavy bay window), completing a kitchen remodel that had been left a mess by a previous company, smoothing out and painting popcorn ceilings, installing baseboards and trim, etc, etc. Austin was happy to finish off a huge list of tasks that I had, and was very fairly priced. I give him my very highest recommendation. You will be very pleased with the hard work and results he provides.

I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone.
