C&R Home Remedies

She does an excellent job, very conscientious, very professional, he does a little better job than others.

Horrible experience, my house is in worse shape than it was before they came in. Trim has to be pulled and replaced. He cut the new doors down way to far, they are useless. Tried to install used railing on my deck. Totally botched the paint on the exterior of the house. He basically robbed me of $6200.00.

I’m May I reached out to Home advisor for a contractor that could build a patio cover for me. I’m getting on in years and have had back problems, otherwise, I would have done the job myself. CR home remedies (Robbie) responded saying he got the lead from Angie’s list. Initially he was very polite, personable, and helpful in understanding what I wanted to accomplish. After consideration, I decided to hire him and he came to my house and filled out a contract for the scope of the work and cost. He asked for half down for material which I readily gave to him because of his sincerity. We established a start date on June 17. The day before he called and said there was a delay with the permit because they were too busy so he said he would get it the next day only to have him tell me that he needed to apply for a separate electrical permit (Which is not true) and reset the start date to June 22. Robbie called me before and told me all his tools were stolen so the start date was pushed back again. Mean time I called the city to find the status of the permit application only to be told there was none on file. My next conversation with him, he assured me he would have the permit by the next week, he even offered at that time to refund my down payment. I said not yet because I really wanted this job done. Finally on the last promise date, Robbie called me and told me that his office manager had applied to the wrong county (also b.s.) so he would refund my money. I waited a week and no check. I sent him an email asking him in the end to overnight it to me. He even responded to me saying that if I did not receive the check by weeks end he would overnight it. That has been over a week now and after repeated phone calls and text messages asking where is my money he fails to respond. In hindsight all these excuses why he couldn’t start were lies and fabrications. Even after promising a refund he still has not complied. Don’t trust this man - he’ll scam the pants right off you. The job has not even been started now I’m going to do it myself anyway.

He called me right away and schedule a time to meet to look at the project. And then called me back the next day and said he had a family emergency and needed to reschedule. So I agreed to reschedule. Then he showed up on the job and bid the job and we talked about all kinds of ideas and ways to finish the project. He wrote up the bid and said give him a call if I want to move forward with the project. So I called him back a couple of hours later and said let’s do this! At this point thought he was a reliable handyman, although I thought his bid was high. $3500.00 to finish some stuff and lay a floor in a shed that is 160sqft and 80% finished. So he comes to my place of work and picks up a check for half down ($1500.00) and get me on the schedule for June 9th 2020. Needless to say June 9th (which is a Tuesday) came and still no word from him. So I texted him and asked if he made it to my place. He texted back and said “oh I’m sorry sorry I forgot you were on the schedule for today, can we change it to Thursday or Friday?” I reluctantly said Ok. From there he calls me Thursday and tell me he’s been up all night with his mom that he took to the hospital and she passed away and wonder if he could call me in a week or so he had time to figure everything out with his mom passing way. I said of course. About a week went by and hadn’t heard from him, then he shows up early one morning and tells my brother in-law that he can’t do any work while he’s here because all his tools got stolen out of his truck the night before!!!!! From there he processed to tell my brother in-law that he is going to come back tonight after another job he was going and is only going to be able to work on my project at night?!?! At that point I had my husband call him and tell him that his tardiness and excuses are not working for us and we need our money back! ($1500.00) He didn’t have any idea why we would want our money back ?!?! He said he will mail it to us........ it’s been 2 weeks and no check in my mail box!!!!!!!! And he takes days to text back or doesn’t at all! And of course he’s got all kinds of excuses why we don’t have our check yet. Beware of Robbie

They were great. They were personable and helpful. I am very impressed with them and I would definitely hire them again.

After quoting job for $75.00 an hour they decided we needed to replace hot water tank. Then charged us 29.5 hrs. Then only after billing is did they advise us they were charging for two man hours (Never quoted price even spoke about two men), “because I’m not a body builder”. Very unethical practices. Although his work was average he was late to arrive. Couldn’t complete an average 4 hr job in 10, apparently with two people, came back the second day for more hours to complete job. Didn’t know he had to change fittings on old piping to new, something a handyman should know to do after working on the project for hours. Added 2.5 hrs for that. Then when done the insulation he sprayed glued the shed door closed so had to spend $250.00 to fix that. Will never use this company again. He quoted $75.00 on what he said would be a four -six hour job, then charged $2200 in labor + 1100 for the new tank. And we never saw a receipt, manual for the tank or warranty which he promised, he forgot to bring with him.

It was fantastic. They were very clean, didn't made a mess in my house, very polite, and very nice to work around.
