DO NOT HIRE TERESA AND HER COMPANY to do any work on your home if you care about it. We reached out…read moreto Teresa starting the beginning of February to finish some last parts of repairing/painting our front porch. She blamed some delay on weather, illness, and scheduling, but since March she has ignored our text and e-mail entirely. It's safe to say now that she has NO INTENTION TO FINISH THE JOB, despite us paying in full (our mistake). Not only has she been unprofessional but I have photographic evidence of some of the issues. The details: We hired Teresa Snyder late December to fix some areas of our porch and stairs that had wood rot. The bulk of the work finally was completed after about 3 weeks due to her van breaking down as well as labor problems. We encountered the following problems in hiring Teresa: - UNRELIABLE WORK CREW: During this time she went through 4 different work crews (5 different people altogether). One never showed up the next day, two were fired, the fourth walked off the job, and the last was hired last minute off of Craigslist for the day (he was the only one who stuck around). - CARELESS EXECUTION: One side of the porch was initially installed visibly crooked; it was only after we brought this to her attention that she fixed it. - Steps were installed at about a steep angle downwards (about 4 degrees with our calculations). Again, it was only after we checked it ourselves that night that we noticed and we had to bring this up to her attention. - She installed a board on the lowest step leaving an almost 2 inch gap between the riser and the ground that has remained unfixed (see picture). She was supposed to return to add another board to fill the gap but never did. - TIME DELAYS DUE TO FIXING HER OWN SHODDY WORKMANSHIP: Both problems above were major fixes and delayed the "completion" of the work. The stairs took her nearly an extra day to re-do. - FAILURE TO PERFORM NECESSARY COMPONENTS AND USE PROPER MATERIAL: Teresa failed to sufficiently caulk any of the seams of wood that she replaced. She seems to claim that weather had a lot to do with it, but she didn't advise us that doing the repair in December would lead to the caulk pulling away and therefore this would become an issue. SEE PICTURES. She also did not use galvanized nails and therefore they've already started rusting. - FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE JOB: Back in December after we paid in full, we agreed that once the weather warms up, she would return and paint over the areas she "fixed", as well as fix the bottom rise. As mentioned above, she has ignored our requests to return. Again, if you are considering hiring her, see the photos here that document the work that she did, both in-progress and after that may make you think again. Please go with someone more reliable, knowledgeable, dependable, and capable. Teresa Snyder, and by extension, The Fix It Service is none of these things and we hope you don't make the same mistake as we did.

NON LICENSED PEOPLE DOING ELECTRICAL WORK WITH NO SUPERVISION…read more (Just read what the owner Eric says about people who post negative reviews about his company. He trashes the person writing the review, it's always the customers fault if they write a negative review, and he'll claim the "customer is unreasonable." That's his default fall back for every bad review. I posted his text messages (which I still have all his text messages) which back up my claims of poor workmanship, and employees working by themselves, unsupervised with no electrical license or experience. The employee that worked on my house, and that could have burned it down, is still a student at Athens Tech trying to learn how to be an electrician. Eric sent this kid who is still in school to my house unsupervised, and he could have burnt my new house to the ground. But again, he'll say it's the customers fault, "just look at all my 5 star reviews." Buyer beware is what I would say with this owner and this company. There's so much that happened with this company that I just can't put in this review due to character limits. This company is scary at best. I wanted a licensed electrician to install a generator inlet power box next to my electrical panel, so I could run a whole house generator through my electrical panel, in the event of a power outage. The "electrician" worked on the electrical panel for a few hours, then notified me that the job was done. As soon as I inspected the work, I immediately knew something was wrong. The outlet the "electrician" installed was wrong. I told the "electrician" that he had installed the wrong outlet, and he said, "You can just use an adapter." He had in fact installed an outlet for an RV. The outlet he installed was a female outlet. The cord that runs from a generator needs a male outlet to work. There is no way this outlet would have worked with a generator, and there's no "adapter" that could make that work, it was the wrong outlet. The "electrician" called the owner (Erick Carnes) and they figured out that the "electrician" had in fact installed the wrong outlet. The "electrician" had to go find the right power box to install. A few days later I tried to test the outlet box when I received my generator cord, and the outlet box failed. There was A LOT of back and forth with Erick, but all I can post is this below. Erick insisted on looking at the problem (not him, the same "electrician" that made the mistakes). Erick did offer to refund my money, "If the issue was on them." I began to question the credentials of the employee who came to my house by himself and installed the outlet. To my shock and dismay, Erick told me that the "electrician" that came to my house was not an electrician at all. I was told the following by Erick. "Tony is allowed to work under my license as my employee. This could all be a very easy solution and may not even be a problem we did. I would like to at least check out work." I found out "Tony" was still going to Athens Tech to learn how to be an electrician and is not a licensed electrician. In fact, Tony had no certifications whatsoever to be doing electrical work on someone's house by himself. I was shocked by this answer, and equally stunned that Erick was not interested in looking at the job himself. I told Erick that I would be checking with the county and state to see if an unlicensed employee was legally able to do electrical work on customers homes by himself, with no supervision from and actual electrician. I received this answer from Erick. "We have never had an issue with an insurance claim. I would like to confirm that the issue is on us. Tyler is well qualified for the job. Tony has worked on several of these with Tyler. But that day Tyler had an appointment. This is really a simple job and I am not sure how he could have messed it up. I would like to fix it and we can refund your payment in full." Even though Erick was insisting on sending his people to look at the problem, there was no way I was letting this company touch the electrical in my house again. My house is brand new, only a year old. When I told Erick his company was not touching the electrical in my house again, he blamed the problem on me. He basically said I wasn't using the generator properly, and the issue was that I wasn't switching the breaker on the generator. I explained to Erick that this was a brand-new generator, and it did not have a breaker that needed switching prior to use. Long story here. I was right Erick was wrong. Erick still offered no refund, not even a partial refund, unless his unqualified employees worked on my panel again. The plug and panel were later checked, and it was confirmed that the outlet was wired incorrectly. I am still out 500.00 that Erick has not offered to refund. The only way Erick would entertain a refund, was if the same "electrician" that caused the problem, could come back, and try and fix the problem they created.
