Everything was completed neatly, and it was nice seeing all those small repairs finally taken care of in one visit.

It hurts me to write this, but I feel I have to share our experience so others can be cautious…read more We hired Home Repair Dudes, owned by Guliyev Mursal (who also goes by "Mark"), for multiple home improvement projects. We read 5 star reviews on this company, but no way those reviews come close to what our experience have been. We are also reading reviews of work he has supposedly completed in the last few weeks and find this concerning, especially since he has told us he was depressed and was in bed, and unable to work. He stated that once he recovered, he would return to finish our project and possibly begin driving for Uber. The timing and volume of these recent reviews raise serious questions. Unfortunately, the experience has been extremely disappointing. At best, the crew seems capable of basic painting, and even that required close supervision. He promised to repair all cracks before painting, but only some were addressed, with repeated promises to come back later for the rest. We were sold on hardwood flooring with claims of a 100 year lifespan and unlimited resurfacing. Without our knowledge, refurbished wood was used instead. The floors are already making loud squeaking noises. The turf installation was poorly done. There are potholes throughout, no level surface, and the areas around the trees are messy. Grass is already growing through the turf. Sand was dumped directly on top of the grass and not properly removed, and leftover turf was left sitting on the lawn, killing the grass underneath. turf not anchored and he only used weed barrier around the trees. Plug covers removed for painting were misplaced, so they are left bare now. He removed our backyard tiles before even securing a contractor to replace them. His plan was to install tiles before painting the walls, but when he could not find someone, he painted anyway, promising to power wash the walls later because debris from the areas without tiles repeated splashed on the freshly painted walls everytime it rained. 6 months later, the tiles are still not installed. He told us two months ago, that the person he contracted with, wanted more money for labor and we offered to pay the difference. just so our work can be done. One contractor he sent out started installing the tiles, before ensuring a leveled surface and before the tiles on the sides and the door was removed. Yet he stated the tile guy was the best in Houston. The contractor also proposed for the new tiles to go the existed tiles. We also discovered that interior paint was used on exterior trim. We only found this out when workers he sent for touch ups told us directly. Additionally, drains were not marked before removal, so they were reinstalled incorrectly. This has caused water to collect improperly in our yard during rain. He built a wine room but has yet to complete it. Lights and shelving are still missing. He placed tiles here without grout and left some areas open. Although our contract included a kitchen remodel, we chose not to proceed until the existing incomplete work was finished. We had been paying in installments, and the amount paid now exceeds the value of the work completed. In total, this company owes us around $5000 in work paid for and yet to be done. Payments made were supposed to cover: Replacement of a cracked window Driveway touch up Backyard tile work Garage shelves Front door waxing One kitchen tile Tiles in two areas in the back These items are completely paid for but remain unfinished. He left in December stating he needed knee surgery. When he returned, he gave personal reasons for delays and asked for more time, yet we later learned he was taking on other jobs while ours remained unfinished. They broke our sprinkler system and promised to repair it but have not done so. They also entered our garage without permission, took items such as a ladder, brooms, shovels, and cords, used them, left them unclean and disorganized, and damaged some. Additionally, they entered the house wearing shoes without using protective shoe coverings. This contractor has received a number of positive reviews within the past month, which coincides with the time we sent him a certified letter regarding our concerns. This timing raises questions about whether those reviews were strategically posted to offset negative feedback he anticipated. We gave this company so many chances because we understand the struggles of some small businesses. Overall, this has been a stressful and frustrating experience. Mursal is an Irresponsible contractor with consistent failure to complete contracted work, Exhibits deceptive or misleading business practices and lacks integrity and accountability in fulfilling obligations. We strongly recommend exercising extreme caution when considering Home Repair Dudes or Guliyev Mursal, who also goes by Mark.

Communication with Alex, Melissa and Richard was daily. They kept us updated on all work to be performed the following day as well as what was completed each day. We had no "surprises". If there was a needed change order or an idea to lower costs it was communicated immediately. To give an idea of some of the projects we had done; new roof, installed gutters around entire house and garage, major interior repair due to massive water leak on second floor that completely flooded 1st floor (walls, ceiling, stairs) new wood look tile flooring downstairs, interior design - turned my 3 1/2 car garage in to a full 2 car garage and a beautiful pool room with French doors leading to the pool, wood look tile flooring and a split AC/Heater unit. We also had the upstairs guest bathroom remodeled and our front door replaced. I am already planning my next project and Stracoa will be my go to contractor. I highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed. I added a few photos of the pool room and front door.

We had just purchased a house and did not have access to the home for a walk through and quote. But we also wanted to get on the schedule immediately after close to expedite our move in. Cody suggested we send photos, the MLS listing etc., and he could do a rough quote from there. He put a walk through on the schedule the day after close and start day for a day after. Walk through was easy and only resulted in minor changes and he was able to start right away as planned. We had our cabinets re-painted and every wall in the house, including the insides of two closets and the pantry (totally recommend that btw). The work was done on schedule and to my expectation. We had an unanticipated visit to the property during the work and Cody was able to accommodate (we'd asked he re-prioritize the order of the rooms). I left him my house key during the job and had total trust he would take care of our home as we would; and I'm glad I did, our new house was completely transformed. Will not hesitate to hire again when we are ready to do the exterior!

Meticulous, perfection-driven, obsessed with details, hard workers, fast…read more This is a family business, with dad and two young adult sons doing the hard labor, and mom handling the business end. I have what you could call a "special needs" fence, deck, and yard. Electrical lights and outlets on the fence posts, an extra wide gate in the rear for bringing in a washing machine one day, removeable deck panel for access to AC lines, wanted the deck built on concrete blocks instead of chopping post holes into my driveway and live oak tree roots, pet turtles in the yard, and a koi pond that it was essential to not disturb the filter or plumbing or connections. Other companies didn't understand what I was needing, argued with me, or didn't speak English. But all DWS said was: Yes, yes, yes. My experience with contractors is that they're bulldozers, and I fully expected my yard and items to be trashed. Not with DWS. They carefully removed the electrical and then replaced it on the new fence posts - everything works. I had cleared the space as well as possible, but there were still items they had to move. All my garden décor, windchimes, turtle pen, etc. were preserved and neatly set where I could find them. Best of all, there was no damage to the pond, plumbing, or garden. They even did some "extra" things, like haul off pots that were too heavy for me, and trim a few branches on a baby tree. They didn't start too early (no morning noise to bother neighbors), and they wrapped up mid-afternoon. They use quick-set cement, so they can dig a post hole, erect the post, and then add rails and pickets all on the same day. They worked incredibly hard in July heat, and finished job a day early. Cleaned the driveway, sidewalk, and yard of all debris. A few things should have been hashed out better ahead of time. Type of gate hardware and locks, pergola / shade cover, retaining wall, moved the fenceline in 6" (made my yard smaller), cutting a limb off my precious live oak tree. Luckily, some of these were discussed the day before install, and were able to make last minute changes, with price adjustments where appropriate. The price for about 100' of cedar fencing and two modest decks was a gasp moment - but in line with other companies. The 50% deposit was daunting, esp for an outfit I knew nothing about, but it's in line with industry standards. Plus, they didn't ask for it until the week before install. Easy on-line pay, good communicators. The finished fence is sturdy, beautiful, and pickets all straight along the top. They hide the gate hinges for a neat look. Decks are exactly what I asked for. As an example of detail, a portion of my deck goes around the oak tree. Instead of cutting a circle out of the deck to accommodate the tree trunk, they cut the boards into pie slice-shaped wedges, so the boards fit around the tree like a pinwheel. ! This had to take amazing engineering, measuring, and cutting. Folks, there was no need to do this. This is a small deck in the back of the yard that's going to be covered with lawn chairs and potted plants and no one will ever see (except me). I can only think they did this out of obsession with detail, and had fun with the math and logistics. When they left, Dan shook my hand and told me he offers a 150% guarantee. Indeed, as the summer went on and lack of rain caused the fenceposts to shift and the gate started sticking, they came back twice to make adjustments. There's more good stuff to tell, but I'm hitting the word limit. Bottom line, I couldn't be more pleased with the people, quality, workmanship, and professionalism. You will be, too.

When researching fence companies, I bid my project out to several local businesses using the exact same specifications so I was getting an apples-to-apples comparison. DWS came in with the best price. When I requested a change to the original project scope after starting, they were transparent about the additional cost and provided a timely and fair change order. They were hit with multiple weather events, which delayed our project and subsequent projects they had on the books after ours unfortunately too. Despite the delays, Dan never rushed anything or cut corners and got the job done right. They operate honestly and would recommend to anyone looking to install a new fence.
