.

Handyman was friendly.  Work was done well.  Only complaint was the first time he came, he didn't come prepared.  I had informed him he'd need a tall ladder for exterior work and he didn't bring one.  However, this worked to my advantage because I ended up having him do a different job since the original exterior job ended up being an issue with my roof and not masonry. <br />

He arrived promptly, got right to work and did a thorough job.  He's very professional, responsive and easy to work with. <br />

<p>The job went terribly and I cannot emphasize enough that you should STAY AWAY from this contractor.  I hired Nasser through a Deal on AL to install a new wooden front door and wooden interior railing. First, by his own admission he made a mistake and cut the opening for the door lock wrong. (See picture 1) So he left promising to get a replacement door and come back in two days (Sun).  Meanwhile the lock didn't work and I basically had to leave my front door unlocked. Sunday came and he texted me late in the afternoon saying he couldn't make it but would come on Mon at 9am. Mon morning at 930, I texted asking where he was, and he said now he couldn't come until Tue. I responded that he needed to keep his commitments and the front door posed a big security risk for me; if he didn't show then I would register a complaint with Angies List. He didn't respond, but late in the day I got a text at work saying that he had come by and installed the door and railing.</p> <p>When I got home to inspect, I was shocked; in the process he had badly damaged the door frame (see picture 2).</p> <p>Even worse, Nasser had installed the wooden railing completely wrong. On the first day I had told him how it needed to be attached to the landing, which should have been obvious, but he did a ridiculous thing instead (see picture 3, 4, 5). The bottom railing board needs  to cover the margin below -- the exposed nails in the pictures make this obvious - but for some reason he forgot my instructions and installed the entire railing board above the floor.</p> <p>He denies having made any mistakes and says I am "looking for problems."  The only problems I see are ones he created.  PLEASE DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS INCOMPETENT AND IRRESPONSIBLE PERSON.</p>

<strong>RUN from this company!  </strong>  Here's my experience: <br /> Naser Hamidi (owner) emailed the estimate at 7/10/15 at 9:19 p.m.  He was supposed to send it  7/9, p.m.   I ok'd the dollar amount of the  estimate and asked him to bring the itemized estimate when he came on July 11.  What he brought was a contract with a lump sum price for the list of items I gave him.  I should have known then to walk away. Lesson learned!  <br /> July 11 - Naser arrived a little after 11 a.m. I showed him the areas  where the work was to be done.  He repaired two fence panels and removed an old light in the kitchen and hung a new one.   He said he would return on July 14 to complete the remaining work on the fence and to work on some of the other repairs. <br />   <br /> July 14 - Naser never showed up or called.  I called him at 5:06 p.m. to fine out why.  He told me "I got tied up...will be there this Thursday (7/16). <br /> July 16 -  Naser arrived at 7:55 a.m. with a painter, Javier.   I asked about the fence, and showed him the ceiling where he had  removed the old light where a he had pulled a small piece (quarter size) of the paint off the ceiling when he removed it, and that the light he had hung was crooked.   Naser said, Oh, we'll fix that.  I'll be back later this afternoon", but he did not return that day.  The painter replaced two window ledges, patched small areas of the wall around them, removed curtain rods and patched small areas of the walls,patched a small crack in one wall,  patched drywall along steps in the basement, and patched the drywall on the ceiling around the light referenced above. The drywall was all around the trim of my new light fixture!.   <br /> July 17 - Javier returned to finish the sanding and painting.  Naser called  to ask if I had purchased the paint for the master bath, and told me "I'll see you later this afternoon."  He never came that day and didn't call to say why.  Upon inspection of the work Javier had done, I found blue paint spatters on my new hardwood floors, the window ledges he had repaired had rough spots and weren't sealed all the way, and there was drywall and paint on the steps in the basement .  <br /> July 20 - No work was done. Naser didn't call. <br />   <br /> July 21 - Naser called and left a message for me to call him back.  I  returned the call twice, July 22 and July 23, with no return call until July 24.  He told me "I've been out of town... and will be there Tuesday [7/28] early like before".  <br /> July 28 - I told and showed Naser the HORRIBLE work Javier had done, and told him in no uncertain terms that this guy could not do anything else in my home.  Naser told me that this was the 3rd home where he had had a problem with Javier's work, and that he had fired him.  Naser said he would take care of everything. He said I needed to have the entire ceiling in the kitchen repainted (where the light fixture had been replaced)., and he started re-doing all of the shoddy work Javier had done. <br /> July 29 - Naser arrived early and started re-doing the work.  He also painted the master bathroom.  I inspected all of the redone work and painting.  Not a bad job, but based on other experiences I rate it a C, at best..  Told me he would be back "tomorrow".  <br /> July 30 - Naser called around 9:15 to say he couldn't come. <br /> July 31 - Naser arrived at 9:30 to supposedly complete everything, including painting the kitchen ceiling. When he finished, I took a look.  White paint where the ceiling meets the walls had white paint too.  He asked me if I had the wall paint and he would fix it.  I did, but after he did the entire wall touch up, he told me "the paint doesn't match".  OMG!!! I asked him why he had painted all of the touch up areas without noticing that.  He said "the paint was wet."  REALLY!  It doesn't take painting 4 walls before realizing there's a problem, at least if you really know your trade. So now, I have to have my entire kitchen repainted. <br /> Finally, after two weeks of waiting and waiting for the fence to be completed, he told me he couldn't fix the remaining part of the fence because of rot.  Well, when he inspected it on July 11, he told me it needed to have concrete filled in. <br /> I gave a D rating on price because you get what you pay for.  And he didn't finish all of the work (minor items:  replace phone jack plate; repair hot water faucet; repair linen closet door that was sticking and not closing completely. <br /> There's much more, but I'm tired of writing.  Folks, all I can say is heed Angie's advice when hiring a contractor. 

I'm reluctant to give a bad review because Nasir was a friendly enough guy.  We had someone scheduled to do this work later in the summer.  I wanted it done more quickly, so I called Naser and he was very kind and able to accommodate me at short notice (a week) for this roughly two hour job which I was very grateful.  I offered to buy the $199 angie's list deal and he said he preferred I pay him directly, which I did. <br /> He kept saying he'd have to confirm again as it got closer and I let him know that if it wasn't going to work, to tell me asap so I could find someone else. He kept reassuring me it'd be fine but I just got a feeling.   <br /> Then, the day before he was scheduled to show up, he texted and said he might prefer to come a different day.  We were scheduled to be out of town later, I had turned down someone else for the job, and it really needed to be done as scheduled. I pushed and he ended up coming over as scheduled. <br /> He came and assessed the job and had to go out and buy tools even though I had been clear about what the job entailed in asking him to come.  I had pre-purchased the door and lock and let him know he would need a drill. <br /> He got the door installed and it left a huge gap on the outside where my previous storm door had been. He suggested I buy bondo and fix it myself which was an ok answer for then.  However, when he left, the key was unable to turn in the lock or able to be taken out of the deadbolt lock. We were about to go out of town for 4 days and we had to just leave it that way. I texted him to let him know the issue and he suggested "oh, i think that lock was just defective."  The thing is, i HAD a backup lock sitting right there (for another door) that he could have used.  I asked if he'd come fix it and he asked if the contractors working on other things in our house could just fix it.  I gave up and thought okay, well maybe this is what happens with using handymen. <br /> I recently had another handyman company come from Angies List to do some other things for me. He was outstanding, fixed the lock and added brick mold and painted it all within 30 minutes. He was quick friendly and accurate and it made me realize how bad the service had been on the job I'm reviewing right now. <br /> Finally, when here, Naser let the front door slam really hard and the plastic strip fell off our front storm door. Still haven't found anyone to fix that. <br />

The screen door for the front porch was of a type I had not encountered before, and nor had he. It was not the typical type that I have installed myself when I was younger, which was why I wanted someone else to do the job. He quickly realized that although the new door had some additional support framing, it still suffered from the stability issues common to such doors and suggested that I might want him to brace the door with some L-braces.The door was also delivered without a small part for the door closing mechanism. He checked out the other jobs before I went out to the hardware store and suggested that I get a different door lock while I was at the store since I had not picked up what I thought I was buying. <br /> While I was out, he installed the light, and then finished up the other jobs within the 3 hours allotted. He was meticulous and careful, cleaning up any mess. I recommend him highly. <br />

Air gaps in doors -- he could not fix them and didn't give sufficient information as to why.  I believe he was not skilled with that type of repair (Note:  he rescheduled my first appointment because he said he wanted to be sure he had the right person to do the work; well that didn't happen).   <br /> Realign storm door -- he fixed that, although right now I'm noticing the door closure to not be as good as it was when he fixed it.   <br /> Install new outdoor light fixture -- did a fine job at installing the light fixture I provided.  He showed me how it worked too.   <br /> Reconnect the electric outlet in my kitchen island -- he did a fine job connecting the wires.   <br /> He was very nice and willing to work on whatever he could.  My highest priority was repairing the doors and only the storm door was fixed.    I am still waiting for him to send me an invoice for the work that was done and it's been six weeks.   <br /> For the door incident and not mailing me an invoice, I unfortunately would not use him again. <br />

He did what he said he would do in the time he said he would do it. <br />

Everything went great with them.

<p> I am very pleased with the quality of the work performed; Naser and his staff did a wonderful job!  Naser and his staff were very courteous, professional, answered all my questions, provided guidance on what materials to purchase (i.e. tile, grout, etc.), made recommendations, and purchased and picked up materials on my behalf.  I am thrilled I picked EY Construction Inc for my first internal home renovation project (after getting bids from two other companies) and will definitely use this company again.</p> <p> <br /> <br /> </p>

They were very professional, effective and efficient. A pleasure to work with. I would definitely hire them again <br />

Excellent - this company wants to  succeed.  Notice one flaw.  On molding it should have been a 45 degree angle but with all they did excellently this is a minor problem.  Everything is functioning great. <br /> <br /> <br />

Naser contacted me to let me know when he was on his way, so he communicated his timing well.  He brought drop cloths, which I appreciated.  He did not bring a drill bit that was needed for closet door pulls and I did mention the size of the pulls when we spoke on the phone before the project, so that was a negative factor.  However, he did make a quick run to the hardware store for equipment needed for a light install, and he was very quick, which was great since I initially paid for 3 hours of his services. <br /> <br /> The closet doors were a bit tricky (due to settling and door frame measurements not being precise), but Naser did well to make them <br /> work. <br /> <br /> One of the two light fixtures installed appears to be done well.  However, the second one was not installed properly.  The base of the fixture is not flush to the ceiling and the light fixture swings freely when touched.  This was noted while Naser was at my home and he told me to apply caulking to secure the base to the ceiling.  I got a second opinion on this and it is shoddy work.  When asked, Naser also said that the electrical box is not screwed into a stud.  Rather, it is sitting on the drywall of the ceiling.  This is also not proper work.  To be honest, I would not trust Naser to fix this problem since he could not install it correctly the first time.  I would, however, like to get my money back for the time he spent on that light.  He should have been up front with me to tell me that he did not know how to install the light.  It would have saved me money and saved both of us valuable time. <br /> <br />

<p>Ah-mah-zing.  First, he was very responsive (called to schedule within a hour or two of us purchasing the service through Angie's List) and stayed in contact leading up to our appointment. He was right on time, down to the minute, in Friday afternoon traffic no less!  Extremely presentable, professional and well prepared (we had emailed pictures of the work we wanted done).  We prioritized what we needed done and he provided a rough estimate of what he could get done in that time (he was off by 10 minutes and completed the work, even though I was OK without it being completed, without additional charge anyway).</p> <p>I think the only hiccup was a mis-estimation of the weight of hanger wire needed for one project but we probably lowballed its weight in our own estimation.  Fortunately, he's quick and strong and managed to catch a 75-100lb framed flag with one hand! Ran out and got him heavier gauge wire while he worked on other projects.  Total cost of supplies, per receipt he volunteered, was something like $23.</p> <p>The master bedroom closet rack had not been installed properly before.  The rack wasn't affixed to any studs and had pulled the drywall anchors out with the screws.  His repair was perfect and managed to cover the drywall damage at the same time.  It was strong enough for him to flex-hang on it.</p> <p>The piece of laminated wood that separated the marble flooring in front of the fireplace from the hardwood floor had come up.  In lieu of just gluing it back in place he used a nail gun and glue to really fasten it in place and I've yet to discover the brads or nails he used on the wood.</p> <p>Everything was tidied up except where we asked for him to go on to the next project and we'd clean up after him.  Even in those spots, it was hard to tell that someone had done work there.</p> <p>Writing this review about a month after he did the work and everything is still holding up better than before.</p> <p>We will definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone (and have done so to our next door neighbors).  I'd give him a 9.9999999 (because I don't give anyone a 10).  I think the $199 is the price we paid for 3 or 4 hours of work for a special he was running at the time and would have been happy paying far more than that if we had known how well it would have gone. Seems very trustworthy, I'd probably be OK with him being in the house without one of us here and I've only felt that way with one other service provider/non-family member ever.<br /> <br /></p> <br />

<p>Mr. Hamidi called within 48 hrs of me placing an order for the 3-hour special via Angie's List.</p> <p>All the work was done very well and met and exceeding expectations.  Mr. Hamidi fixed a storm door that was a minor problem since it wasn't installed correctly by a previous installer. Mr. Hamidi uninstalled it, corrected the problems, and reinstalled it.  It works perfectly. I had several other annoying  minor repair that were also done as well.  I'm very happy with the work and will be calling E.Y Construction to do other more involved jobs in the near future.</p> <p><br /></p> <br />

<p>The crews were quick and made sure every thing was done right and made my house safe and secure</p> <p> </p> <br />

He was very professional. I will use his services again. <br />

It went extremely well and beyond expectations . Naseer did a great job - he quickly diagnosed the issue and figured out a part was daily and required replacement . After I got the new part he changed the whole flush and toilet system start working fine .

I  used EY Construction for an emergency leaking roof.  They quickly responded and created a solution to prevent more water damage.   They fixed the problem quickly and economically.  I appreciate common sense people who care. <br />
