I hired "Trusted handyman" aka Stephen koo and wish I hadn't…read more.. I Hired him for a simple bathtub installation. Came on a Thursday and installed the tub without the required rim boards which is required by the installation instructions and was discussed in writing prior. When I reminded him day before they must be installed his response was "we know". Then they didn't install. Quite the attitude for what's the come.... He came back out on Friday to add the boards and reinstall. While I'm at work him and his counterpart text me multiple times job is complete now and they want payment. He threatens to sue me for payment on Monday...again this is the SAME DAY they finished within a couple hours since the job is "complete". Stephen sounded like a desperate money hungry psychopath in my opinion. Alarm bell starts ringing.... I tell them especially since previous days misinstallation I will inspect it and water test before paying them. They try making excuse that "you also can't use water until tile is installed". What a lie! Thank goodness I didn't listen. So the next morning I cut off the tube he had blocked and ran the water and guess what? It leaking like a wide open sieve and damaged the ceiling below. (Video below) Long story short I had to hire an actual plumber who tore out and redid all their shoddy work. The plumbing they did to the spout didn't meet code either and was off center. No washer or propert sealant was installed on the tub drain which is why it leaked. Was also installed way off center. No fasteners were installed in the tub either. It's hard finding ANYTHING that was done properly. He even had the gall to state "you telling us how to do the work and I'm just wondering why you just didn't do it yourself?? We did a good job at a fair price." I regret hiring them and wouldn't recommend...to say the least. Photos and video below. Based on previous reviews he's going to say this is "Fake" and he never worked for me. He doesn't do contracts? Just to get ahead of that....I've posted our contract on my post on Nextdoor. He's also not licensed in the state of South Carolina to perform plumbing work..... this is ILLEGAL. He lies on multiple platforms. He claims Chris is his employee also a tech then he says later he's unaffiliated with him. Never met anyone this untruthful.

Worst customer service experience I have ever had in my life. Our generator is only three years…read moreold, but has needed three modules replaced. Last year the first one went out and was replaced at no charge to us by Rich A from Automated Living Solutions, as it was covered under our warranty with Canter Power Solutions. Early this year, two more needed to be replaced, yet when Rich did the exact same thing he had done a few months prior for the first module) he let us know there was a $660 bill and that it was not covered under warranty. We were confused, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, paid the bill. (We had the contract transferred to our names upon the purchase of our home about a year ago, and so are not particularly familiar with it having not been the ones that signed it.) Rich asked that the check be made out to his name rather than his business which also made me uncomfortable. We reached out to Canter for clarification on why this was not covered, and received multiple emails from Shelley Taylor (see a couple attached) letting us know that the charge was in error, the parts and labor were covered under warranty, and instructing Rich, the contractor, to refund the cost to us. (Interesting to note that the one positive review for this business is from Rich himself.) Long story short, they are now refusing to pay saying that it actually isn't covered by warranty. It has been over a month and I am still fighting with upper management at Canter to try and come to a resolution. I am beyond shocked at the experience I have had and would never ever recommend Automated Living Solutions.

He charged very fairly based on his quote! He even listened to me with respect and answered my questions! This might not seem like much, but I have contractors not show up at all, come hours late, bump-up the charge after the work was done, (without a reason), not listen to my expectations or request and do it "their way ", bungle the job, and be generally rude, as they are "the boss." So, it was wonderful to have The Fixit Guy do what I requested the "right way" in a pleasant manner for a fair price. Next time I need a small home repair, guess who I am going to call!

I wish I could give Sievert a better review. I purchased a home on James Island and hired Sievert…read moreto completely re-wire the home while I was away for approximately four weeks and the work was completed before I returned to the house. Upon my return to Charleston, the following issues had to be addressed: 1. The fiber optic cable going into the home had been severed by the electricians who had pulled it out of the wall (versus properly unplugging it from the unit). AT&T had to have a service technician re-install the fiber optic cable the next day when I realized I had no Wi-Fi. 2. My heat wasn't working and I couldn't figure out why. After my husband went up into the crawl space the next day, he realized that the furnace's non-fused disconnect had been reconnected improperly (the 2-pole pullout had been reinserted upside down). 3. My dishwasher no longer worked. I called and reported it to the company. Sievert Electrical sent the same two-man crew who had done the job to fix this issue once we complained. The lead crew member told us that the dishwasher was old and needed to be replaced. Okay, sure. We spent $700 on a new dishwasher. Surprise, the new dishwasher wasn't working either. We found out that the problem was that two circuits (one of which was unused, the other connected to the dishwasher) had their neutral wires reversed. The new dishwasher worked immediately after the neutral wires were changed. So essentially we replaced a perfectly good dishwasher for no reason. (Of note, Sievert Electrical never responded to our email indicating we replaced the dishwasher and THEN found out it was an electrical issue, not a dishwasher issue). 4. Multiple electrical outlets had been installed sloppily and were either too recessed from the wall OR were sticking out of the wall such that there was a gap between the wall and the outlet covers. Sievert Electrical sent the same two-man crew to fix this issue once we complained and they fixed the problem. 5. All of the 3-way and 4-way switches were installed improperly and needed to be fixed so that one switch wasn't controlling the other switches (meaning that when I first arrived home, if one switch was in the "off" position, the rest of the switches wouldn't work). Sievert Electrical sent the same two-man crew to fix this issue once we complained. 6. The metal headboard of our bed was dented. Not a big deal because it is mostly on the back side of the headboard so it's not very noticeable when pushed back against the wall. But it would have been nice to have known about this issue before we walked back into the house for the first time in a month. 7. After the two-man crew returned the following week to correct some of the issues above, we noticed that several outlets which HAD been working were now no longer working. This time, Sievert sent a different crew to our house to take a look. They told us that the reason the outlets weren't working was because a wire came loose in a switch box that powered the room's outlets. They fixed the issue. We had a few estimates done for this job and Sievert Electrical was not the lowest. However, we chose this contractor because the gentleman who gave us the estimate was knowledgeable and personable and we felt very confident that the job would be done correctly after we spoke to him. However, given the number of issues we experienced, we would not recommend this contractor or at least not the specific crew who handled our job.
