Handyman John
With my decades of construction experience, I am familiar with the many past and present construction methods. My goal is to make a proper-safe repair that will last and is "very" reasonable in cost to you. I perform all aspects of construction (except landscaping) and this allows for one-stop-shopping for your project needs. No money up front and partial payments as work is progressing.
"We explained to John exactly what we wanted him to do and the materials we wanted him to use. He accepted the job. When he brought the first load of materials to start the project, they were not what we told him we wanted, but what he wanted to use. We insisted he return the materials and bring what we initially instructed him to use. Throughout the project, he was periodically argumentative. Once he finished, we noticed that the doors of the shed had been built too small leaving a large gap on top where he tried to fill in with weatherstripping. Also there was not compensation made for swelling from moisture so when it rained, the doors did not open. Some of the door hinges used were not installed straight which caused them to go bad immediately. His excuse for all these problems was that wood is heavy and warps. We had the doors completely rebuilt again using another local handyman. They are now perfect - exactly what we wanted and they function perfectly. Too bad we had to pay twice to have the doors built, but realize now that we should have terminated the agreement early on when he purposely brought the material we specifically told him we did not want."
