AB Meyer & Company

The grout between the kitchen tiles started breaking and cracking fairly quickly in multiple areas. The area between the kitchen and dining room, tile versus wood floor, had a small piece of wood that provided a rounded edge as the kitchen floor was now higher than the dining room. This nails began to come out of this piece of wood and snag sock and foot within a month. The wood coming loose may have contributed to the cracks in the tile's grout. The painter took a month to paint a 1000 square foot home. The faucet was installed improperly. The water valves for the kitchen faucet had the washers forced in to the pipes. I visually confirmed this as the plumber I had hired had to determine why I had lost water on the second and first floor spontaneously. In his opinion someone may have tightened the valves so tightly that the washers were position to eventually come loose and block the flow of water. This was an expensive lesson. Depending on the project AB is fine. Like most contractors he has multiple sites at any given time, taking the more skilled labor to the more important jobs. The end results was low quality work that requires additional expenditures to rectify. That money would have been better spent hiring higher skilled labor.

The team did fantastic job with some minor patches to dry wall and a small plumbing fix. They could not have been more pleasant, thorough or professional in their work. <br />

<p>I called Ab Meyer for a quote to do some "chores" at my home.   Although he didn't want to give me a quote, he said that "this is easy stuff.  It is a small job. I will charge you 20% over my labor costs plus materials."</p> <p>Ab Meyer, the owner. sent a young man to do the appointed jobs.  The first was to fill the bee holes in the wood.  Each hole is about 1/2" long.   Althought he was very nice, this young man said to me, "I don't know why he sent me.  I've never done anything like this.  I'm a painter."   He did a satisfactory job on those holes.   But when he grouted the cement pad on my back patio, it was a disaster.   The worker came to me and said, come look at this.   It looks terrible."   And he was right.   He then spent the next </p> <p>5 hours trying to undo his work.   Ultimately, all of the grout work was terrible.   </p> <p>They didn't fix the broken steps, nor hang the mirror in my living room.    When I complained, Ab came over with a bill for $975 and said that to remedy the deficiencies he would need another $250.   Needless to say, I did not accept his offer.</p> <p>I called Ab to try to discuss my displeasure.   He got very defensive.   I filed suit at the magistrates office.   Ab got in touch with me after he got his notice.   He offered me $400 to settle, which I accepted.  </p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <br />

They were on time. Cleaned up after themselves and reasonably priced. <br /> Id use them again. <br />

It was difficult to schedule the work.  I needed to call several times after they did not come when they were expected.  The work was not done in a satisfactory manor and I did not feel that the owner was being honest with me.  <br />

I called Ab Meyers on Thursday about installing a grip bar in my parent's powder room for my handicapped father. I explained that my father's PT wanted it ASAP. Ab called his foreman immediately and he scheduled the intallation the next morning.  My son purchased the grab bar so it was available to them. The foreman arrived on time Friday morning and installed it securely. He was very pleasant and helpful. He even fixed the sink that was separating from the wall. My parents were very pleased with the service and the senior citizen discount. We would call them back for any other hanyman chores we need done. <br />

It took from October to April to get things satisfied with getting the work done.  I would not recommend him to anyone.

Ab is a very fair and honest contractor.  He and his crew were very consciencous about making sure that the job was done to our satisfaction.  We are very pleased with the final job and just love our bathroom! <br />

The project went smoothly and the work was of very good quality. <br />  Ab brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to any home improvement <br />  or renovation that he and his crew take on. <br />  I have  recommended  A. N. Meyer Company to my friends and neighbor for a range of <br />  different projects- plumbing, painting and carpentry in particular, and will continue to do so. <br />  They are reliable, honest, reasonably priced and can handle many aspects of home renovation-- <br />  a great find. <br />

Went well, my back porch door (an add on by former owners) was done so poorly that the door hung several inches away from the jamb, was incorrectly plumbed and let in a Pittsburgh winter conctantly.  They had to re build the entire enclosure, rehang the door (saved money not having to get a new door) and do the finishing work to re join it back to the house.   Closes nicely, keeps heat in and cold out. <br />

Ab was good to work with as far as communication.  Showed up when promised and worked consecutive days to finish the job.  They worked fast (maybe too fast).  They were pretty sloppy on detail work.  For example, they put a crown molding on but one piece just kind of ended randomly leaving a challenge for me as to how to paint it to make it look right.  Everything ended up costing more than the original estimate and they were not careful to cover stuff as they worked.  My new white fridge ended up covered in black soot from the ceiling that was replaced.   In general, I guess the price was OK but the work was just OK as well.  If you're detail oriented you'll not be satisfied. <br />

We had a great experience with AB and his team. AB was responsive from the beginning, getting back to me quickly after I reached out. Followed up quickly with an estimate and was able to start the job as soon as we were ready. Justin did the work at our house and he was great. Polite and on time, did a nice job on the basement and cleaned everything up when he was done. <br />

They do great work, are very good men.  This is the second job they have done for me.  I didn't even bother to call anyone else for this second job.  I will use him again if ever the chance arises.  A+ rating as far as I am concerned. <br />

In the three weeks I spent in Pittsburgh remodeling a house we own there, AB MEYER was BY FAR the best thing I discovered.  I honestly do not know how I could have done the job without finding him and his crew. <br /> Ab is one of the nicest men on the face of the earth, very courteous and honest and fair, and additionally comes from a wealth of experience as a general contractor building million dollar homes. <br /> Ab's employees are all such hard-working and excellent craftsmen.  I was so impressed how they hit the house early every morning, with jobs being completed in jaw-dropping time, and with complete competence.  Ab would arrive and send workers flying in all directions, and at the end of the day it was amazing how much could be accomplished (granted, a few even stayed very late, knowing I was running on a tight schedule!) <br /> It came in so "handy" to find Ab Meyers's Handyman Service that anyone needing help would be smart indeed to give Ab a call. <br /> Sherry Braden <br /> TEXAS <br />

AB Meyer's firm did a very good job on our wainscoating and the trim work in our kitchen and entry way front door. The carpenter was very meticulous and precision in all his work. Our only concern was the overall work took a little longer to finish than we first thought. This put pressure on the team to get the job completed when we expected. But in the end, they did a beautiful job and AB Meyer was a joy to work with. Highly recommend him and his firm. <br />

My aunt asked me for a list of handymen to remodel her powder room in the basement.  The first phone call was to AB Meyer.  They arrived on time every day of the job and it was completed as promised.  They even cleaned up after the job was complete!!!!  The powder room looks brand new and my aunt was very pleased with the work and will be using them for another job in their house. <br />

Ab and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Our old townhouse looked pretty shabby, with stained vinyl, peeling brown paint on the shutters, and a broken, makeshift porch railing. After getting the run-around from a different contractor, I was down to the wire with three weeks until my wedding, when we'd have a house full of guests. From the first contact, Ab returned my calls immediately and promised he'd do what it took to get the work done on time. He definitely delivered. He and his crew were polite, on time, and cleaned up after themselves. And when we needed some extra help in the kitchen for work we'd planned to do ourselves, they got through that in the timeframe, too. Our foundation was in worse shape than we thought, so the original estimate was a little off (they couldn't just paint, and had to patch first), but Ab kept costs as low as possible and always let me make the call on what we should do. In the end, it was still much cheaper than the estimate from the other flaky contractor, looked fantastic, and was all done a week before the wedding. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome, and several of our neighbors stopped by to tell us how great it looked. And after our wedding, Ab and his team even sent us a card of congratulations! Good, honest, hardworking people. Will definitely call again next time we need any work done. <br />

We get compliments on the game room - they find ways to save you money. <br />

They replaced my basement floor where my toilet had leaked through. The work was done well and efficiently. They were friendly, courteous and cleaned up after themselves. <br /> <br />

Everytime we hire them it seems to be a little worse then the time before. We have had them out before and been pleased however it seems to be average the more we have them out. The owner is ok however some of the workers are a little questionable.
