He gave us a quote, it was more expensive than the other guy but his reviews were great so I was going to go with him. I gave him a date and asked some questions with no response. The other company was very responsive so I decided to go with them as the paint job was approaching.. aka one day away. I did not give Micheal the paint colors, or a deposit, so nothing was set in stone.. But I guess he thought it was? I informed him that we were no longer using him and he sent me a nasty text, that we are rude and *pissed him off* also he blocked my number.. no need to throw a temper tantrum, I made it clear we had multiple estimates we were looking at. He might be an absolutely amazing painter... but he needs to work on his kindness and revisit how he treats his costumers. In the end, I'm relieved I chose the other company who has been nothing but kind and responsive.

We had Rick from solid rock handyman services install a deck railing for us in April 2023. He was…read morerecommended by our real estate agent that we have good success with their previous recommendations over the years. Rick came out and showed us photos of his work on his phone. The photos looked good and he was pleasant to talk with. We agreed to hire him to build our railing thinking we were going to receive a quality and professional job. Unfortunately that is not what we got (see photos). The railing has multiple issues from split wood to different size pieces, two different colored screws and crooked gates. I asked Rick to come out and address the issues and he did come out to take a look. He said he would raise the bottom rail to fix the issue on part of the slats but then I would have a bottom rail that is higher in some areas and not level at all, so fix one issue by causing another issue is his idea of quality work. He would fix the gate as he noted he used warped wood to build them. He came back a few weeks later on memorial day which he picked so I canceled my plans so we could finally put this project to bed.. When he showed up he didn't have all the supplies he needed and didn't even have the correct supplies at that. I told him to come back with the proper materials. He clearly has no attention to detail and is not interested in fixing the project the right way, instead trying to take any short cut possible. Later that day after he left I ended up sending an email asking for him to fix the project by starting over which he even brought up when i was showing him all the issues instead of trying to put a bandaid on everything. Or provide us a refund and we will hire someone else. Rick's response was he was not going to fix anything now. He is not returning my phone call now either. Sadly we trusted Rick and we got burned. It was a very expensive lesson learned and took us a long time to save up the money and unfortunately will cost us even more money to fix the project. With spending almost $10k on railing we thought we were getting a quality product which is disappointing that we are now out the money and will have to spend more money to fix a railing that we should not have to do. I can not recommend Rick with Solid Rock Handyman Services. The lack of attention to detail from installing split wood, to different colored screws, and warped gates that don't latch properly i would never have him do work on property again sense he does not stand behind his work. I encourage you to look for a different handyman if you are in the need for one. Rick with Solid Rock Handyman is not someone I would ever use based on our personal experience.

When he came, he wore a mask and shoe covers which made me feel very safe and comfortable. He didn't know it but I'm immune compromised and that means a lot to me. He quickly determined that the job I was wanting to do would require an electrician and because of that I decided to not officially do it. It was so nice of him to apologize to me, even though I felt bad I couldn't have him do the job and pay him. I will gladly think of hiring again if I need a handyman.

When Shannon came out to do the estimate she noticed we also had dry rot in an upper window. Since we'd just received notice from our HOA that it needed to be fixed we were relieved to find out they could do repairs as well. In the end we had them paint the exterior of our home, clean the gutters and fix the dry rot on four windows. We were incredibly comfortable having them in and around our home. They were tidy, fast, respectful, easy to communicate with and sweet to our dog. Our paint and repair job increased in scope as more issues were found. Shannon communicated the additional cost compassionately and was very fair about keeping our costs down. I would recommend this business to friends and family. Excellent work done by excellent people.

Is quote was reasonable; not the lowest and not the highest. His staff was polite, efficient with time and made sure the work area was cleaned up each day, making sure the gate to the back yard was always shut to ensure the safety of our new puppy. In the busiest time of the year, Carlos kept us informed on when they anticipated to start on our project. The project actually started sooner than I had anticipated and I had not selected the house colors! He recommended using Benjamin Moore on Powell and to work with their color consultant. She was amazing. Carlos also went out of his way to show me pictures and to bring color samples by the house to help in the decision making process. Having to travel prior to final color selection was difficult. Carlos was flexible, rearranging the order of painting, to accommodate travel and to ensure that we would be happy with the final color selection. Once the project started he did a thorough walk around identifying rotting regions around windows and doors and personally replaced rotten wood and caulking all holes, cracks,etc. The end product is beautiful. We went with a beautiful, rich, blue with cream trim and black accents that compliment the style of our home. It makes a statement and brings color to our street and Portland:) We would hire Carlos again for any painting project and highly recommend Ocre Painting. Don't dely, check them out!
