"Several days after he came, I went to use the back two burners of my stovetop and they were suddenly not working when they had been working just fine before he came. The front two were still working. He was only to check on the oven's broiler element and fix if necessary. He pulled out the stove, disassembled the top to get to the wires and also then tested the broil at which time he said it was working ok. It seemed that the switch was funky so fiddling with it will make it work ok so he left that alone, reassembled the stove and put it back against he wall between the cabinets. Then quickly moved onto diagnosing the microwave issue as being related to the magnatron which is too expensive to fix. His visit was more a diagnosis than a repair appointment but he was on time, quick and charged me as per expectation. But after he was gone I needed to use the two back burners of my stove and found they were not working. Since they have been totally fine, and it was odd that they both went out the same time, I had to pull out the stove and look at the wiring myself. It turned out that these two back burners were pulled OUT (and in two different locations in the wiring in the back so it is odd). I am not sure how they got unplugged. I plugged them back in, reassembled the stove and pushed it back into place and they are working just fine now. I am not sure if this was a mistake on his part or intentional. I assume a mistake. It was easy enough to fix but was very inconvenient."

"Gerry's website indicated that he was available until 11 p.m. so I called and left a message. He called within half an hour and I explained what was happening. Because I had put some warm soup in the fridge late in the day and because there was also a possibility that the upper door had not been closed properly, he suggested waiting until Saturday morning to see if the refrigerator would come up to temperature on its own. It did not, so I called him again Saturday a.m. and left a message. Again he called back within an hour or so and spent probably 10 minutes or more asking me questions over the phone to troubleshoot the problem more specifically. He had done his research on the model and by asking me questions over the phone was able to pinpoint the most likely source of the problem--I believe it was a power unit that controlled the airflow. As a result, the vents at the bottom of the freezer plugged up with frost which blocked air flow to the upper portion of the refrigerator. He then called two different parts suppliers to see if he could get the part needed to fix the problem . Because of the age of the refrigerator, neither supplier had the part in stock and the manufacturer said that it was on back order so it could take anywhere from a week to several weeks to make and receive before a repair could be made. Given the age of the unit and the estimated cost of the part alone (approximately $200) plus labor, he advised that I buy a new refrigerator.) When I offered to pay him for his time, he refused to accept any payment. Now THAT is great service! So to thank Gerry for his selfless service, I am writing this review in hopes that it brings other new customers his way. In addition, I will definitely recommend Gerry to anyone I know who needs their refrigerator repaired!"

"We had several small drywall cracks that needed repair, and our pull-down attic ladder had a bad hinge.  Walt and Tammy were prompt and responsive to these issues, and they also took care of a couple of additional drywall repairs without changing the estimate.  The attic ladder was an unusual repair, as it involved modifying a poorly assembled lower segment, but Walt was able to correct this without issue.  In addition, Tammy noticed some cracked caulking in our bathroom by the tub, which she also repaired for no additional charge.
Overall, we are satisfied with the work done, and we will definitely use the service again for handyman needs."

"Quick in and out and tested both before he left on water pressure and leaking. Will be our plumbing service for sure. Got 4 bids and this was great"

"Our CPVC house piping had a lot of water hammer. After turning on the washing machine, I walked out for a moment, and then when I came back in water was dripping from the ceiling exhaust fan onto the washing machine. We have a two story house and they ran the hot water plumbing from the water heater in the garage through the laundry room ceiling. I removed the exhaust fan and could see water dripping from a tee way back beyond reach. The water hammer from the washer likely caused the fitting to start leaking. I turned the house water supply off and sent a message to Simpson plumbing through Angie's list. A lady from Simpson plumbing contacted me right away the next morning. She was courteous, but was having a hard time understanding what the problem was. Maybe I was giving too much information or something, but when the plumbers arrived later that afternoon they didn't understand what was going on. I ran through what happened again and showed them the wet spot on the ceiling. They had to cut an opening in the ceiling and we turned the water on and confirmed the leak. We moved my washing machine out of their way and they cut out the CPVC tee and replaced it with PEX. The piping was brittle so it took him a couple of attempts to get a straight cut which is why I called them to mess with it. After installing the PEX tee, we were leak free and at my request they provided a reference for the drywall repair. He also advised getting some water hammer arrestors installed on the supply lines to the washing machine to stop the water hammer, which I have since done."

"Kevin was out the next day and took care of our project quickly and efficiently and at a more than reasonable price. Basically, we needed the water supply to a refrigerator door / ice maker properly reconnected after we were left hanging by earlier "service." Thanks, Kevin!"
