"I bought the $558 "Handyman for a day" coupon (the total cost above includes $72 that was needed to buy parts at Home Depot).
Travis showed up promptly at the agreed upon time and was friendly and professional. I outlined the list of work items, which included everything listed above as well as running speaker cables in the walls for 4 surround sound speakers and fixing a leaky sliding door. Travis had me explain all of the jobs, as well as telling him what the priority was in which I'd like them done.
The speaker wire job was going to be a tricky one, I suspected, since it involved running cables from the first floor up to the attic, across the attic, and then back down to the first floor. Travis stated that it may not be possible for him to do, but that he would take a look and see, since this was one of the higher priority items on the list. Unfortunately, he discovered that drilling would be required between the attic and the second floor in order to drop the cables back down through the wall. He was up front and honest that he didn't have experience doing that kind of work, and after calling his boss and explaining the job to him, they recommended that I get an electrician or a home theater expert to do that job.
Even with that off the list, Travis wasn't sure if he'd be able to do all of the items on the list. In particular, the leaky sliding door could be time consuming, since to do it properly would require him to do a "water test" of the few different trouble spots that he found during his examination of the door. Ideally he would want to test them each to determine where the actual problem was, and then do the repairs.
Ultimately, after 8 hours, he was able to do all of the jobs except for the leaky door and the surround cables. For the jobs that were performed, I am extremely satisfied with his work. He was friendly and professional for the entire day, and he did a good job communicating with me as needed about the requirements of each job. He cleaned up after himself in his work areas.
I shopped around before deciding on TD Services for this work. There were other places which offered cheaper rates, but the consistently high reviews are what made me go with TD Services. I figure it's senseless paying less for a job if that means you won't get the same guarantee of quality. Because of this, I've already scheduled for Travis to come back next week and take a few hours to work on the leaky door.

"The technician, Robert Castro, Arrived on time and got to work immediately. After he finished examining all of the switches, electrical outlets, lights and light switches, and the indoor and outdoor electrical panels, he filled out his paperwork. He explained the checklist showing that the electrical system has been well maintained and that he did not find any problem areas. He preformed his job very professionally and was very courteous."

"George seems to be a nice guy. I'm sorry that my review is poor. But here's my experience...

George is very difficult to reach, and it can take several days to get a response to any messages. I am also difficult to reach, so I made sure to say, when I left messages, "I am available on these specific days, just let me know if any of them work for you." It never helped. It literally took a month to get a time set up with him, and to his credit, we had set one initial date and I had to cancel the appointment the day prior due to an emergency flight related to a death in the family. It then took another 2.5 weeks to get a new appointment set up.

When I initially wrote to him after buying the coupon (2 hours of electrical labor for $99), I disclosed the fact that I had bought the coupon in order to get (3) Nest smoke and carbon alarms installed. He saw that on my response, in writing, and knew that coming out here. Here's what happened when he got here:

First, I had a faulty switch in a room with a fan and attached light. The light was stuck in a very dim "on" position and I could not get it to turn off. George fiddled with it for a couple of minutes, and then we turned off the breaker to see if it would trigger it to go off. That didn't work. George fiddled a couple more minutes, and got the light to come on very brightly. He then announced that the switch is broken (not that I did not already know that) and not able to be fixed. In the meantime, the light is now stuck in bright mode and who needs a tanning salon when you can just walk into the bedroom? Onward.

Next, the Nest alarms. First, he opens one of the new packages, tearing the packaging. Only important if you need to return them because they can't be installed. Next, he looks at them like a cat would examine a Rubix cube, and notices that they "are 120v and need to be hard-wired". Yes, that's why I disclosed it up-front when I bought the coupon. He then walks up into my attic, which was floored by an electrician who left plenty of openings for later wiring. George then descends, and announces the following:

"First of all, these things need to be hard wired. Your attic is floored, so it's impossible. And second, it's going to take at least two men and three hours, so it's going to be very expensive." With that, I let him know that "we're done" and he left. It was a total of 15 minutes. I waited for more than two months for THAT. I'm asking for a refund, and giving up on Angie's Coupons."
