"The first time that I used this service about a year earlier, the guy that came out went above and beyond and did a great job. Exceeded expectations. This time was not as good. He got most of the house, but missed spots here and there. Especially if they were high on the house. I am mixed about wether of not I will use them again.

"RCF came highly recommended from a very highly renowned Angie's List handyman (CSC). I had originally wanted CSC to do our work simply because of his amazing ratings in every category as well as the flattering and descriptive details about his work. Anyways, when CSC had stated that he was unavailable for my job he referred me over to RCF. I was excited when I found someone to do everything mentioned above in the and quot;what did the provider do?and quot; section for the price my wife and I had budgeted for this portion of our renovation (not to exceed $3000). At our initial meeting on August 30 a bid of $2500, but absolutely not to exceed $3000 in a worst case scenario for labor only was given. He mentioned that he would do everything he could to give us breaks and cut corners where he could to meet our budget which was much appreciated and lent further credibility to his recommendation. Full disclosure was given that the drywall to be hung was of the 5/8 variety. I was also given the estimate of 100 sheets to be hung. Our home was down to bare studs at the time so there was nothing hidden. Given that I was told that RCF had over 25 years experience hanging drywall among other handyman services and many references to back up the quality of his work I took him at his word while at the same time refusing to take him up on the offer to view referrals from previously satisfied customers (my own fault). I was also told that if we chose to use his services that he would be staying at a hotel locally in town (didn't happen) so as to complete the job sooner. I was initially given a 1.5 week time table to hang, finish, texture, and prime/paint. I was all in at this point since all but one other bid I received was much higher (most between 5-10k). Furthermore, I explained that I would be available 2-3 days each week as needed to help with any work that would make the job go by quicker and /or make my final bill less expensive.

The good...They began work on September 3. At the early stages of work, RCF recommended bullnose corner bead instead of regular 90 degree angle corner bead as a finish to the drywall. He explained that he would not charge any extra for this at the time and that was much appreciated b/c it does lend a nicer, more updated appearance to our home. Also, there were several occasions where I had questions about something and he would answer them to put my mind at ease. This was much needed and appreciated again b/c we had been previously burned by another drywall handyman with shady craftsmanship.

The bad...I received phone calls on several occasions citing reasons (broken down truck (twice), finishing another job (twice)) why they wouldn't be working on a certain day which only delayed things further. I will say that I did appreciate the phone calls as a mere courtesy as opposed to just leaving me to wonder. When they did show up to work they typically came on time (that is another good thing that belongs in the above paragraph). Since I was given what I thought at the time to be a fair price and time frame of completion I was trying to be as flexible as possible with RCF. Even though our home was in stages of remodel I was constantly cleaning up pieces of broken up drywall, screws, sweeping, etc. to keep them from doing it so they could work faster, safer, and more efficient. At the time upon which most, if not all, the drywall was hung and finished a note was left for me describing how many man hours RCF had into our job and that he could no longer continue finishing out the remainder of the job (prime/paint and texture) unless more money was given. I spoke with him about this in detail and explained why I did not feel comfortable doing this seeing as how he was the seasoned professional who gave the estimate and had full disclosure of the materials involved. I was given the reason of and quot;I didn't know until I started doing the work that there was going to be this many boards...that it was going to take as long...and quot; He offered to walk away, no hard feelings, and be done. But since I knew that I was in a tight spot still needing the work to be completed by someone RCF and I agreed to split the difference (my own fault) of what he was asking which was around $650 in addition to the $3000 that had already been given. So my bill was now at $3650. Thankfully, payment for the job was never given in a lump sum. RCF would work a little then ask for partial payment here and there. Payment was always on time and the exact amount requested. At times there were breaches of professional etiquette where things would turn slightly heated and /or argumentative. Soon after RCF would apologize and carry on with his work. I chalked this up to sour grapes over an inaccurate bid on what turned out to be a difficult job that was taking longer than he wanted and /or anticipated. Once the job was labeled and quot;completeand quot; RCF mentioned that he would return to finish up a few things. It was at this point that he requested $1110 of the final $1310 he was owed for the job. Our bill increased further when he had to go back and drywall certain areas in our hallway around some pocket doors where he anticipated moulding trim would go. Again, I expressed hesitance in giving the $1110 as there were some issues I had with some of the work that was left done/undone. We shook hands, I paid him the $1110 (my own fault) and I took RCF at his word that he would return to complete the job. As minor collateral he left some of his tools at my residence which he promptly took back with him when he came back on a day soon thereafter. I was working the day he came and therefore unable to see what he had come back to do and ultimately leave and quot;unfinishedand quot; in my opinion. When I called him to return to finish the and quot;touch upand quot; work he explained that he waited two weeks for me to call him and that he was now somewhere for 3 more weeks doing a job and that he would call me when he came back in late November. I did not want to get into what I was displeased with over the phone for fear that he would not return for the remaining $200 I owed him for and quot;touch upand quot; work that was much more than just that in my opinion. For example, when painting and texturing, 3/4 of my outlets and none of my windows (including the white vinyl around the glass) were taped. I'm still tediously trimming paint off my window frames. When cutting out holes in the drywall for my outlets, the outside border of the electrical box was cut as opposed to the inside leaving too large of a hole for most of my outlet covers to hide. He fixed some of them after the fact. Because of this most of the outlets protrude awkwardly and uneven past the outlet plate. Some of the outlet plates are not flush with the wall and you see a noticeable gap between the wall and the plate itself. All of the outlets in my kitchen got zipped/scratched/knicked up with their Rotozip tool and now those have to be replaced. When taping/mudding drywall screws/holes he only did the ones he deemed necessary where he thought there wouldn't be casing, trim, or baseboards. He basically made our decision for us because at that point we had to put trim to cover what he chose not to do initially.

RCF kept his word and touched base with me in late November upon his return to town. We squared up a time to meet. When he arrived I shared my concerns with him over all of the issues alluded to above. They were met with senseless excuses and unprofessionalism to say the least. He threatened to walk out before apologizing for reacting the way he did and offered to fix his mistakes without charging me the final $200. RCF stayed for 4 hours like he promised and essentially made his original mistakes (the ones explained in detail above) look only slightly less obvious and shoddy. Nothing changes the fact that just a little extra time and effort to do a good job to prevent senseless errors from happening would go a long way. I understand that people make mistakes and noone is perfect but what I cannot accept is"

"My fianceé and I recently had SolarShield Industries put a new metal roof on our home. I am more than ecstatic with the outcome. I can already tell a difference by how less frequent the A/C runs and how cool the home is. It also looks amazing. Everyone was very professional and friendly, especially Mr. McKinney, the sales rep./Owner, and their office staff coordinator, Mrs. Renee. I have been in construction for 15 years and know all the different aspects of building residential and commercial dwellings. I am also very attentive to detail. After seeing several of their jobs through the years, you cannot help to notice the craftsmanship and integrity in their work. So when it came time to have our roof done, I immediately had them in mind. They do not sound like the cheapest at first, but I can assure you that in the end they are fair, the same price, or cheaper, because of the work and quality materials you get for the money. I had several quotes that were lower, but they wanted to do unnecessary things that I knew did not need to be done, so they could find ways to increase the price after a contract was signed. Also, while using nothing but the best materials, they exceed the building codes and requirements, backed by a LIFETIME WARRANTY. If you are in the market for a new metal roof, I highly recommend them and stand behind my referral."

"The screening in our courtyard tore during a storm, and as the birdcage screening had not been replaced in 14 years, we felt it necessary to rescreen it entirely.  Seabreeze did a wonderful job; in fact, we are getting ready to call them again to replace the screening on our back porch when hurricane season is over.

"I asked Little Huggies to mow the yard while we were on vacation for several weeks. They mowed the yard with attention to how it looked when finished rather than just rushing to get it do so they could be off to the next job. And I appreciate that! And it looked great. They also transformed our driveway that was way over due to be pressure washed into the cleanest it has ever been. And our driveway had a lot of algae build up. Their technique of careful application of chemicals so that they soak into the concrete before pressure washing works better than any company's process I have ever seen. And I've used a lot of companies with little satisfaction. Excellent job. I will certainly hire them again!!"
