11 months ago I hired this contractor to replace my condo wood fire door. The contractor contacted…read moreme after he was aware of the door starting to warp, and he assured me he would replace my door due to the warping that is occurring. He says the door must have been defective to warp in a short period of time. I agreed to that, and he rectified the problem with the door he installed by going to replace it completely with a new one. I am satisfied with him as a contractor as he backed up his work and proved he is an honest and sincere which is well appreciated. I would recommend this carpenter to work on any project you have as his work and all supplied materials used are guaranteed and rectifies the problem completely and promptly.

Outstanding experience with Fix It People!…read more From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and efficient. Scheduling was incredibly quick (they were able to get me in the very next day), and communication from the team was clear and proactive throughout the entire process. A special shoutout to Miguel, who handled the work -- he was fantastic. He arrived right on time, was extremely professional, kept the workspace clean, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. This wasn't a simple install -- it required mounting hardware into a brick wall with proper anchors and sealing -- and Miguel executed it perfectly. The quality of the work is excellent, and everything feels solid and secure. You can tell they take pride in doing things the right way, not just the fast way. Also appreciated how organized the whole process was -- from quote to scheduling to final invoice, it all felt very well run. Value for money, this was worth it. Highly recommend Fix It People, and if you can, ask for Miguel! Will definitely use them again.

The fellow was nice enough, but the language barrier didn't allow me to get any questions answered. The measurements were never shared with me. I was sent a confusing PDF brochure for Larson doors to browse that had no prices listed. I had to call and email a few times to finally reach my salesperson again and get a quote. I picked a couple of doors to compare only to be told one isn't available in my size. The quote finally came through as one generic line item that was more than double what the big boxes had quoted me. It didn't even split out the door and the installation charges. At any step of the way they could have simply told me my order wouldn't meet their minimum threshold and saved all of us a lot of time and effort. I ended up giving my money to a big box store. Ironically, I've been blown away by the customer service from the box box employees/contractors every step of the way - everyone I've spoken to or has come out has been extremely responsive and friendly. I hope they're being compensated fairly because they're definitely working hard.

Barry understood our needs, the price was less than some of the other competitors but not so much that I worried about quality. From ordering the custom door to the date of install was only a couple of weeks. On the date of install, Nick arrived early and got right to work. The door was installed, looks great and Nick did a great job of cleaning up. I had a question about the door the next day and Barry came out and cleared up that question in minutes. We will definitely use thermalcraft in the future!

The one near our kitchen is super sensitive and more than once I've woken my husband up from a dead sleep when it went off.

I'm sure our neighbors think we're awful cooks who burn all our food. I found Ken through some reviews on here and a recommendation from a co-worker. He was responsive, reasonable, and went through in detail his plan. If you don't properly flash it, you can end up with water issues. Ken removed the old microwave, vented the new microwave out the side of the house, and extended our backsplash, a project we'd not gotten around to doing. We were and still are very pleased with his work. He was also kind to our cat Mel who insisted on supervising his work up close and personal. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Ken again.

The repairman that I initially spoke with over the phone was super responsive and very polite. I was so impressed by the Yelp reviews and by the phone call that I immediately scheduled an appointment with him. After I finished setting up the service appointment we discussed the time, location, and other details. I immediately placed an order from my local hardware store and to have all the items (appliances) shipped to my home. The day before the scheduled appointment the repairman messaged me that he made a mistake and that he was supposed to schedule my appointment for the following day. He also mentioned that I did not send him a deposit to lock in my appointment as if I lost the appointment due to not paying him a deposit. I was confused! We never discussed a deposit or a deposit amount when I spoke with the handyman over the phone. I did not see the other Yelpers reference in their post anything about Zelle quick paying their repairman for a deposit. I thought something was odd I immediately thanked him for his time and told him I would not need his company to complete the repairs!
