Mountain Home Remdeling in Laural MD did my roof. At first glance it looked great,so I gave a high rating. Within a short time I had stains on my ceilings, a sheet rock peeling and falling out of place. They sent someone todo a worthless repair job that lasted only a short while. I have a great deal of damage I have had to pay for broken rafters and repairs to vents system. Repair is needing to be redone where handyman supposedly fixed. Yet, Angi refused to downgrade my review.

Eric & Lauren Stirling are top-of-the-list for custom ironwork and design at "AFAB Welding & Art" in Wolfeboro, NH.
The photo below speaks for itself. A difficult spiral staircase, on the mark for price, on-time delivery and installation and excellent customer service. With a smile and a handshake, wonderful people indeed. My wife and I are more than satisfied, we are delighted with the end result.

This was a significant investment for us, but one that was competitively offered. Mike and his crew were prompt, efficient, thorough, and completed the work in two days. The crew left our pool and surrounding landscape in good condition. I would recommend Desert Mesa Pools services to anyone needing pool deck repair.

The scope of the work Gus is doing is far more then just painting cabinets. He is repairing damage and completing the work in a bath room as well as the kitchen (which a previous contractor made and then walked away from). In addition he built a new cabinet strong enough to hold a granite bar top. He is estimating he will be through in less then 3 weeks and at the speed he is working, I have every reason to believe him.
He is prompt, neat and remains in contact daily. I just wish I had hired him first.

Angie's provided several options quickly! It was great to know the contractors were vetted thru Angie's list. I will use this service to help me find the right person or company for all my projects. I especially appreciate not being inundated by many contractors, only a few viable prospects which served me well.

I recently bought a new build home and needed a fence installed. I chose a coated black chain-link fence with one single gate and one double gate. I chose black to match accents on my home and I was the first in my cul-de-sac to install a fence. I have received many compliments on the fence so far and have set the bar for fences to follow. I am very happy with how everything turned out and the attention to details

Erin and Abe at Home Advisor were both most helpful, particularly Erin. Erin arranged for two contractor appointments. I used one of those contractors.
I did not like getting two immediate email request for payment from Home Advisor when I was going to pay the contractor directly. I paid the contractor the full amount, on the day of the work, and he deposited that check the same day. He could not have gotten his money faster.

Angi/CactusNectar, LLc was recommended and did a terrible job that was unprofessional, unethical with no attention to detail. They promised a bathroom remodel in 1 month, but took them 5 months. Couldn't level floor for tile installation and had to have a professional flooring company come out to do the job correctly. Everything had to be redone at least twice. Didn't clean up or do a final walk through. DO NOT RECOMMEND TO HIRE!

Tip for consumers:
Honest reviews and recommendations along with screening of their workers

Patios and More Landscaping Services LLC. We just had a water-front Landscaping project completed by Mike and his team. It turned out beautifully. It required frequent and clear communication between ourselves and Mike who was readily available to help us along the process. The team was understanding of our attention to detail and carried out the plan as promised. It was a very good experience! We appreciate all the hard work!

Freddy and his company were so easy to work with. They showed up on time, completed the work quickly at a very fair price. Freddy was there to answer any questions. He was even able to supply workers for drywall repair and rotten wood I was unaware of that they ran into. He takes great pride in delivering a job he's proud of. I will use his for all my work from now on. Please see my before and after

Arturo was kind and very knowledgable about the health of our trees. His company removed 5 dead trees and trimmed all the other trees in our yard. They were prompt, efficient, did an excellent job and cleaned up afterwards. We also called them back for a 2nd job - cleaning our roof and gutters. The crew did a fantastic job and cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend Littke Shepherd's Services. We plan to use them for other projects in the future..

I contracted with Home Advisor to find me a "Professional" to re-grout my shower tile; the guy was at my house for 5 hours, and all I got a horrible mess of smeared grout on all my tiles, walls, tub, soap dish, bathroom floor and down my stairs. The "Pro" told me he would be back the next day to finish the job but never showed even though he rescheduled himself. Now Home Advisor is trying to get me to pay for someone to "fix" the problem their guy created! It's a disaster, I will NEVER use them again!

White's Tree Service came to trip up trees that were hanging to the ground. They did about 5 or more trees and even went up a little higher than we originally asked for without charging any extra. They arrived on time and was finished in 1 hour. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs tree work! The also gave us a great price!

Homeadvisor did not properly match appropriate contractors to my work request. Several contractors contacted me but were unable or not equipped to perform work requested. I don't think it's appropriate for homeadvisor to charge contractors for incorrect referrals. Don't send me tree removal services when I don't have a tree to be removed. I was fortunate to find one contractor to take my job after getting six incorrect referrals.

Home Advisor Powered by Angi is more complicated than Home Advisor was. There are more steps and I'm not sure what step of the process I'm in at any given time. I got multiple emails about booking my project after I had chosen a vendor (who responded very quickly, and the work was completed. I don't like getting an estimate on the job without speaking with anyone. It's too easy for something to be lost in the process.
