Backyard Repairs and carpentry work

We had some older wood on the exterior of the house that needed fixing (railings, patio walls etc) and decided to contact DoktorHandyman based on the positive reviews.
KC came over the inspect and provide a quote within a few days, and a week after we had the project underway. KC and his team were professional throughout the project and accommodated some changes to the scope along the way.
Overall i was satisfied with the quality of the craftsmanship and prompt service.

Replace portion of rotted soffit

Called Aly and he came same day to see what needed to be done and proceeded to fix the soffit and repair it with a new piece that he had in his truck. I was really pleased as his repair was done extremely well and quick.
Aly was very professional, efficient and knowledgeable. I plan to have him back soon to replace some external light fixtures for me. His service was very affordable as well.
Thank you, Aly!

Railing on back deck replaced

Doktor Handyman did a fantastic job replacing the railing and stairs around our back deck. They were prompt, tidy and finished on time. We are extremely pleased with the quality of work completed and we thought it was reasonably priced (and they stayed on budget!). We would definitely recommend Doktor Handyman and we will use them again for future projects.

Leak in shower floor

He was hired to fix the leak in my shower floor. After he quote "finished" this is what I encountered:

1) glue on the glass side panel which he had to re-install. Additionally the glass panel was not properly aligned with the glass shower door

2) black stains on my bedroom carpeting from the black grout used in the shower

3) footprints in black on wooden stairs

Not only was he responsible for this, BUT I had to point this out to him to correct. This is inexcusable and unacceptable work.

He did remove most of the stains on the broadloom, cleaned the stairs and removed some of the glue from the side panel. I had to on my own
to spend a good couple of hours removing the rest of the glue residue. It was difficult and time consuming. The point is none of this should have occurred with proper care and attention to detail. Both were lacking.

The leak had damaged the ceiling below and a hole had been cut out to let it dry before replacing drywall. About a week after he left I noticed that water was dripping and still leaking after he had supposedly finished the repairs to the shower.

Even though he was paid the full amount of $1525 for the job, he insisted that this was a "new" problem and asked for an additional $600. I was in a difficult spot because to bring in someone new at this point would have probably cost me more. He tried to repair again on two separate occassions using different grout, but it still leaked.

I was certainly getting fed up and frustrated and he told me he would try ONE MORE TIME, but that I had to pay him the balance in full whether he was able to fix it or not! Really? Well this is an offer I could and did refuse.

So I paid the DOKTOR $1864 for what? I still had the leak and I was out a substantial amount of money.

Brian,
It would have only been fair in your review and not added two jobs in one, shame on you for misleading the readers. I informed you that you have a major issue with your shower subfloor but you insisted on going the cheapest way possible. We went ahead and tried to repair the shower floor grout and after two weeks you called me and said you have the leak issue again.

Again, we came back and redid everything at no cost to you and once again you refused my advise of doing the job properly and requested a band aid job. Again you called and said you have a leak after a month. We came again and again I told you that this method is not responding and you claimed that its our fault. I obliged and for the third time redid it. everything knowing that this will fail too, but you were adamant that we redo our work!!!!
Forth time you called, and I came again and once again tried to reason with you that flaw is not our work rather, your subfloor is the culprit and as long as it squeaks and has movement, it will cause the grout to break apart, also, out of $600 that we had charged you for it,we had only been paid half. No matter the end result, we need to be paid the other half.
Did you expect me to continue to redo your shower floor forever!!! This job should have cost well over $1200 but I only charged you $600 because of the previous job which you now have included all in this one apparently.

Please answer this: HOW COULD WE DO ANY PROPER JOB WHEN WE WERE RESTRICTED TO WORKING BETWEEN Tuesdays and Thursdays, AND ONLY FROM 2-5PM??? Had I known these facts from the outset, I would never have accepted your project.

You are a VERY RUDE, SELFISH, UNACCOMODATING and DEMANDING PERSON to say the least, THAT I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS WITH. I REGRET FOREVER FOR ACCEPTING YOUR JOB.

My apologies to readers of our company's reply, but you have no idea what we went through with this person.

Bathroom vanity installation

I contacted KC about installing a new vanity in my parents bathroom. I was very cautious about selecting a contractor because I needed someone who had experience working on older homes. KC was very polite and professional and gave me the confidence that he had the experience to do the job and he proved that to be the case.
He and his assistant did a fantastic job and even when they ran into unexpected issues it was taken care of speedily for a good price. My parents are very pleased with the job.
I will definitely use KC again for future projects and would recommend his services to others seeking a good reliable contractor.

Install 2 doors, drywall tape and mud, deficiencies.

Dr. Handyman is a company that deals with very small projects. They got ambitious with our project and did a horrible job and took a lot of time. They came in at 11am to start everyday and complained when we had to lock up the office by 5pm. We understand that our office might have been farther than they wished, but then why take on the project? When the quality of their work was questioned, they responded with "if we knew the quality you wanted, we would have charged more". The price was still significantly high, plus quality of a job should not change based off of initial quote.

Overall, we ended up hiring a seperate contractor to come and finish the project. One person compared to the 4 they had, who finished everything in 3 days.

See pictures attached.

I like how you wrote the one and only review that you ever posted on Homestars is about us.
You do remember that there were multiple other jobs we did for you and your approval of job well done is in our emails exchanged!!!

Now, lets talk about the door!!
You FAIL to inform the readers in your review, that not only you ordered the door in a wrong size but also decided to have it installed in a different opening that we had agreed on.
Your text, "asking me to cut the door by 1.5", is still in my phone, you know.!! As is my refusal to cut a fire rated door and how it cannot be cut by law, and on top of that, you asking for it to be installed in a "different opening", etc etc etc.

You are upset because your boss found out about the mistake you made, but I guess you felt better by using us as scape goats, by blaming us???
You post pictures at middle of the job instead of how they looked at the end, with all the difficulties we faced!!!
Being Honest and Sincere goes much further than being vengeful and deceiving others.
Thanks so much for your kindness and honest review!!!

btw, if our price was significantly higher and the job we did for you was so bad, why did hire us to begin with and or why didn't you stop us at the middle of our work and fire us? This should seriously make one wonder🤔

Hanging misc. items (mirrors, tv, medicine cabinet)

KC was very helpful and professional. He is an expert at his craft, and installed a large mirror, medicine cabinet, and 60” tv mount with ease. I would recommend him and would hire him again.

Front porch & back deck

This is the 3rd project that KC and his crew has completed for me over the past couple of years. I needed major work on my front porch & back deck and KC exceeded my expectations. He recommended a different option for my front porch that is even better than I imagined. It’s transformed the whole look from the street. Thanks KC.
