"I called Hometown Remodelling about repairing two walls in a room where wallpaper removal had damaged the drywall. Spoke with John Heansel. He came over and provided my wife an estimate for scraping the drywall, applying two skim coats and putting an orange-peel texture on the walls. He was very prompt and courteous. <br /> He estimated the start date to be 3-4 weeks out. After 3 weeks, I called and he said that it would be another 3 weeks or so. After 6 weeks, I called and he said he would begin work on Tuesday and would call on Monday to confirm. He did not call on Monday, so I called to let him know that we needed notification to arrange time off from work to let his crew in. He said that they would start at 8:00 am on Wednesday. <br /> John & his crew did arrive on Wednesday. They wore foot coverings or took off their boots in the house. I asked about how long the job would take and John said that they would be done in one day. At the end of the day, John said that the mud was not drying as fast as expected so they would need to finish on Thursday.  There was a bit of mud and dust through the house when they left, but for the most part they cleaned up well. <br />  John & his crew arrived on Thursday morning. Unlike the day before, they paid little attention to keeping the house clean. They mixed mud in the front yard and carried it into the house while wearing boots. About mid-morning I mentioned to John that I was getting concerned about the mess, especially on the rugs and carpet which we had just had professionally cleaned. He said that they would do a good clean up. <br /> When the work was done they cleaned up and left. John told me that his assistant wasbringing some carpet cleaner and that his crew would clean up, and then he left. His crew finished cleaning and then they left. I had showed John some specific areas of dust and mud to be cleaned, but those areas were not done. <br /> I understand that remodeling work can be messy and time-consuming, and that smaller residential jobs may not be their favorites, but I expect professional work from professionals that I hire. While John and his crew worked hard and were courteous, I think that they could have done better. Specifically: <br /> better communication  <br />   -  I needed to know when the job would start and how long it would take, but had to call and leave <br /> messages to ask for this information. <br /> better work  <br />  - we had agreed that the texturing would be orange-peel. Since the other walls in the room (not needing repair) had a light <br /> orange-peel texture, I assumed that the repaired wall would be the same. Instead, a heavy texture was applied that  <br />  overlapped the lighter texture by about a foot.  [why not make the transition at a wall edge?] <br /> - the electrical outlets were not completely taped off; I had to chip away the texturing to remount the wall plates. <br /> better cleanup <br />  - some overspray and mud marks had to be cleaned up after they left, even though I had pointed them out. <br /> - some chunks of drywall mud left in the yard. <br /> - they dumped their mud pail in the park across the street. [which was cleaned up after I called to complain] <br /> Summary: <br /> I think that Mr. Heansel seems to be a nice guy that wants to do well for his customers. Had he shown better communication and more attention to detail, I would have given him a much better rating. <br />"

"They did a good job."

"They were good, quick and timely. I wasn’t here and I don’t think that they left any mess though. I am satisfied with their work. They came out within three or four days when I called them and showed up when they said they were going to. It cost about as much and took about as long as they said they were going to. Everything was pretty upfront and pretty reasonable. They were extremely nice and friendly."

"It went very smooth. All i had to do was pick the paint and pay them. They took care of everything else!"

"I stressed that I wanted the new deck constructed exactly like the old one, 4 posts, 3 railings, no trim above the level of the deck or steps for snow removal. <br /> The new structure has one extra post , and side trim that extends above the level of the steps, making snow removal difficult; the snow cannot be swept off the steps because the side trim is in the way. Every time it snowed I had to remove the snow instead of sweeping it off, sometimes digging it out by hand with a small spatula. <br /> I will remove this trim next winter because he used the trim to mask uneven board lengths where the verfticals end. <br /> He also misjudged the amount of materials needed by $800 which resulted in a slight delay and extra cost. <br /> <strong><em>The finished project is very well constructed and adds to the appearance of the house</em></strong>, BUT the side trim creates a difficult to clean abutment making it difficult to remove snow and debris. <br /> I lent his crew a shop broom and they took it with them by mistake. To date they have not returned it even though I have left nemerous messages. I will consider this a donation to the work he does for charities. <br /> Ovarall I feel that another contractor would have litened to my requests and undertood why the tril was not needed. <br /> <br />"

"The contractor, Tim heisinger was easy to work with as were his sub contractors excellent work ethic, hard worker, cleaned up work excellent. Extremely pleasant with work and would hire again."
