"Randy Lane has skilled plumbers and a well-organized office staff. The plumber arrived at the pre-arranged day & time and fixed the two sinks. The plumber looked at the corroded sections of pipe that I pointed out and stated that his opinion was that replacing those would not significantly increase water pressure in the house. I appreciate the honest opinion.

"Great, Wayne did a great job and cleaned up when he was done."

"Paramount Granite Company was a joy to work with! They offered an incredibly reasonable and detailed estimate (including options and their costs) within a day. When I visited their offices, I was treated with respect and courtesy. Barb answered my questions and showed me their slabs of granite (as well as the sinks and faucets they offer). I had already viewed slabs of granite at the various warehouses, but they had some beautiful pieces to choose from. I ended up picking a gorgeous piece of St. Cecelia granite from their selection, which just happened to be in the least expensive category.
The whole process was made easy by Angie's prompt and helpful responses to my emails. Paramount was flexible with my schedule when we needed to postpone the installation by a week. On the day of installation, the workers arrived on time and worked quickly and excellently. I was impressed when they discovered (from a spec sheet they brought along) that the particular slide-in range we had chosen needed rounded corners for the opening. The worker finished the job except for this part, drove back to the office and returned within the hour with the rounded piece to complete the job perfectly!
Paramount Granite Company is a first-rate company. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends. I am simply thrilled with my countertops and the excellent experience I had with Paramount.

"Marvin did great work. He was on time, knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend his service."

"They are excellent. I have never had any dissapointment at all. They are very clean and professional. All around a good experience."

"One structure in the form of a arbor with a gate completed our fence.
     The other structure a small deck outside of the lower sliding glass doors, with a pergola added,
     gives a quiet shady respite to the yard.
      We also had Hal design and build a fountain feature added to the garden area itself.  Which gives a soft
      and flowing water sound near the small deck.
      The work overall is outstanding with a very finished look.  It was also accomplished as per estimate of
       time and cost.  They were very considerate to make the work space neat and clean each day at finish
       time.
     
       We would "highly" recommend these contractors to anyone wanting this type of excellent yard work done.

"He’s been here three or four times since then. He’s actually coming back at the end of January when we’re ready for the finishing. By January, he will be doing the plumbing on our laundry. It’s our first time to use him."

"This company has treated me well, especially Mike Museus, who worked over a year (last summer and this spring) to find out why there was a fluid leak in my new AC unit. The leak didn't affect the cooling of my home so I wasn't concerned, but Mike was persistent, even to returning finally with an "expert" to help diagnose the problem. What they found was that the A-coil above the furnace was full of tiny pinholes. On the day this was to be replaced, Steve came before 9 a.m. to remove the defective A-Coil and install the new one. He worked on it all day, without lunch or a break, leaving shortly after 5 p.m. There was no charge, as it was still under warranty. With all that, he still took the time to explain to me why the replacement was so important: that the defective A-Coil could eventually leak enough to damage the furnace below it. Because he was using solder, I believe, to install the new part, he turned on the ceiling fan in the adjacent room to mitigate the fumes. My only complaint is that a few of my vinyl floor tiles were damaged/discolored by the soldering process. That part of the flooring has had water damage before and is missing a few tiles so, after a day of hard work, he may have attributed the damage to work done before. It's not a big deal; I just wish he'd have said something. I have to hand it to Steve, though; he was working by himself, which frequently required him to leave the furnace area to check the outdoor AC unit, then rush back to the indoor work. I think it might have been a two-person job. At least, an assistant could have facilitated some of the work done."

"We first hired Paul in 2011 to handle the 'restoration' of a cedar sided greenhouse attached to our home (both exterior and interior). It proved to be a complex and challenging project.  Thanks to Paul, there were no 'surprises'.  His pricing was beyond fair.  You don't need to be concerned about any overselling or lack or concern for quality.  We were so impressed with the outcome on our greenhouse project that we didn't consider approaching other contractors to bid on projects we wanted  completed this summer.  
Paul is unusually effective in his ability to assess a project, anticipate what will be required, articulate the  project scope in a clear and concise proposal and keep the customer informed and aware every step of the way (i.e. no surprises).  Each of our three projects presented unique and often challenging aspects---project # 1 required judgement calls on evaluating the scope of the project  (e.g. how much siding/soffit material required replacement); managing angles and elevations that were problematic at best, and somehow meetIng a deadline so the painting company could proceed on schedule (remember June and all that rain--).  Project #2 required regrading the ground beneath the deck and installing ledger flashing to resolve a water leakage problem. Project #3 , well, it's our garden!  Details are everything, and Paul managed to deliver beyond our expectations.
Obviously, we have great confidence in Paul Landmann and have no hesitation in giving him our highest recommendation.

"Back outside door: After inspecting door, was told I would need to replace door and frame. My brother who had temporarily fixed door suggested an option to which provider agreed and then proceded to hang door to acceptable. It was thought the provider was going to opt out of fix if it was too involved?!... Front door glass payne needed replacement, so i needed to accompany him to hardware store to get fix-okay, I guess, wasn't expecting it, used my time for job. Job completed. I wanted the fan on the living room ceiling fan which stopped rotating to be useful again on relatively unused newer fan. Provider refused. Job not completed!?...TV wall mounts installed on bedroom wall.  Provider took me to pick up a wall shelf I wanted hung on kitchen wall but it turned out to be too wide, couldn't be hung without out modification. No options were considered or suggested. Job was not completed. Provider attempted to hang a new bathroom fixture but said it coudn't be done due to previous electrical wiring-was a problem and would need an electrician. Began to scrap living room ceiling and wall water plaster damage but didn't finish, stated I could need a plasterer to replaster. Not sure why he didn't want to finish scraping off rest of ceiling?!

I had this handyman on the other use of this provider for a handyman. Retirment age provider who seems to have skills but doesn't much want to or seem to think he can take on a bigger, harder or more involved job, perhaps with the time of year or tools available to him on their truck?!  I would appreciate someone with anitiative rather than someone who clearly seems to prefer to do the smaller jobs. I am not sure if the name on the company and whom I have messaged with on Angies List are one in the same or not, there are two names, a Don and a Daryl. Can't say I recall him ever introducing himself. Rather non talkative, but to me this is a plus, I an not a small-talker; unless I need info or ask questions. I would rather he do the job hired for than chit-chat.  Not happy that more than one job was not completed or attempted for the days work, which began at 9am and ended at 3pm due to him stopping the scrapping even though there was more to scrape. I would consider another handyman option for future options and feel that I did not get my moneys worth on either use of this company/provider. The first time this provider showed up an hour late for a 4 hour handyman and only one job was completed.
Response to PROVIDERS Response to Original Review: I JUST MAY TAKE YOU UP ON YOUR CONSIDERATE OFFER; I may be calling the number you provided to complete a task. Thank you very much for the offer! I do appreciate it."
