I needed my front door repaired. The brass hinges were tearing out of the jamb due to the age and…read moreweight of the door. It was binding and dragging on the threshold at all times and especially impossible to shut in the summer when swollen with humidity. This is a really beautiful and heavy 80-year-old legacy wooden door and I wanted to keep it. Just a door, not a big problem to fix, you might say. But you'd be mistaken. Most companies wanted to tear out the whole door, frame included, and replace it with a new steel one. No thanks. Other handymen wanted to tear out and then replace the frame/jamb and rehang the door; lots of demolition work, and expensive. And then came Anthony and Carrie of Squirrel Squad. They were totally on my wavelength: save the door, no unnecessary demolition, and *fix the problem*. Anthony showed up with Harry, raised and then reseated the three hinges, and in under two hours the door was saved, opening and shutting like a dream. Like all true experts, they made a problematic job look easy. Their skill set and level of expertise is amazing. I was also humbled by how reasonably they priced the job. I have at least three more projects to complete before year's end and will gladly and confidently hire Squirrel Squad for all of them. Sincerely, look no further. This team is the answer to your problems. - Mark D in Colonie

Our home is well over a century old - not a straight wall or level floor in the place. After removing all to be replaced, he was able to straighten those walls and fix the floor, prep and paint, install all new cabinetry, hang two new doors where bi-folds had been and created an exterior vent for the new over-the-stove microwave unit. When Darrell ran into unexpected issues (because, old house), he consulted with us to troubleshoot possible approaches to fixes and, when we arrived at a best approach, that's the action he took - all to our satisfaction. And that's at the core of what we loved about working with Darrell; he's not happy unless we were happy with his work, not satisfied until we were satisfied. He routinely checked in with us throughout his process to make sure he was meeting this goal. We were happy and satisfied with his work throughout; he maintains a high standard in his work with great attention to detail. He always communicated his work schedule, making sure that it worked for us as well and he was always true to that schedule. He keeps a very clean worksite - he always tidied up the workspace before leaving each day. He'll be my first call for any future home construction needs. Clearly, we're fans of his work and you will be too!

The estimate they gave was under $200 almost half of what other companies charge. When the time comes I will have them power wash the house. I highly recommend them.

I had to keep calling/emailing the office to check on status of windows. When I was told the windows would be in I had to email a week past what they told me to get an update. I understand the whole Covid thing and short staffed but I used this company to support a local business and what I got was the worst experience ever. When we did lock in an install date the 518 handyman ordered the wrong size. I was then told to fix it they could do the smaller window install and charge me more for the sheetrock, etc. for the additional work needed or go with the size I ordered but it would be $200 more a window. I would never use this company ever. Their updates were horrific and I was told something different each time. Then the day of the install I'm told sorry we have the wrong size but you can pay more if you want. Worse Contractor service I have ever experienced. Out of a 5 star I had to give them a 1 because there was no option for a 0. When the lady called me back to credit me not one mention of we are sorry about this mix up. That alone tells me what I unfortunately had to find out the hard way.
