***CHECK PHOTOS LABELLED: "Ensuite"***…read more We had hired Alex for some work previously and had been very impressed. When we got sufficient resources together to "repair" our master bath's cracked shower liner, we knew that the best solution might be to gut the entire bath and remodel. Alex guided us through the gut-rehab process with top notch professionalism and pragmatism. Having an ensuite bathroom gutted while juggling work and two young children can be unsettling. At the time we also ran a business out of our home while he and his amazing crew got the job done in a week's time. We worked together to get the right materials/aesthetic and to keep things quiet when our business demanded it. SO AMAZED with how his people graciously worked around those impediments. And their workmanship was great. We also found the price to be so MUCH, much more competitive from the other plumbers/GCs we got quotes from. It was a PLEASURE to tip his crew because they worked so hard and so professionally. Alex and his crew can really handle it all: they have the expertise and resources to gut a 1960s en suite bathroom start to finish, they can also solder a spigot's faucet back on. They have the pragmatism to work with your (wife's) craz--- colorful and beautiful vision for the space. We already have materials lined up for the next job we do with Alex; highly recommend.

We had a leak in our front door and noticed Hopkins & Porter was a local DMV handyman business with…read moregood online reviews. They turned out to be a huge ripoff. Over the phone with them, we mentioned the leak, shared our ideas on some quick fixes such as sealing the bottom area around the door to see if that resolves the issue, and provided some photos that clearly showed the potential gaps to be sealed. We were communicated that Hopkins & Porter has a policy where they charge an upfront $150 fee that includes an inspection and where the balance is applied to subsequent time and materials work. We were led to believe that a technician would come, inspect the front door leak and some other home interior issues we had, and initiate some fixes. However, when the technician arrived, he only inspected the front door leak for 8 minutes, dismissed taking a look at our other issues, dismissed doing any quick fixes we had mentioned over the phone, but rather asked for the $150 check, and left. He did offer his thoughts on needing to replace the allegedly custom design door weatherstrip ($$$) and sealing a side of the door as well. That's fine but we didn't understand why he wasn't equipped to seal the door area as we discussed over the phone to see whether that would resolve our leak. After some email exchanges following the 8-minute inspection where we indicated this wasn't the job we signed on for, and Hopkins & Porter claiming they would only do things "the right way" (funny how that never came up in the initial phone call), trying to guilt-trip us for expecting an affordable solution, but at least offering to void our $150 check. We wouldn't have even engaged with this company if we knew they would just ignore everything we requested, take our upfront fee, and come up with a large estimate. After 2 days waiting for an estimate of the costs, we were fed up and asked that they go ahead with voiding our check, ending this debacle. Several weeks later, I took a look at my bank statement and was shocked that rather than voiding the check, they deposited my $150 check a few days after our last correspondence. It's disturbing that Hopkins & Porter resorts to taking advantage of potential customers by: - Charging $150 for an 8-minute "inspection" on an issue that was clearly shown in our photos, without fixing anything as we were led to believe - Parroting back potential fixes that we already mentioned when we shared the issue, without actually fixing anything - Claiming to tear up our check but not doing so, instead waiting several days later to cash it in To be honest, I've never seen such dishonesty in a local DMV handyman business.

Alan informed me he has been doing siding work for over 30 years. I looked at the color options, styles of siding and a material for my porch ceiling. The pricing was actually less than I thought so we worked in new vinyl porch rails as well. And they are beautiful. Just warm water will keep them clean, which is great. All of my eaves were closed in with white vented soffit material. The siding install manager was very attentive to all my questions. The job looks wonderful and I love the fact I am done worrying about painting it. Once again Click Construction performed well. And I recommend them highly and will have them do more work for me.
