We started to install a basement bathroom and had removed a large portion of the concrete floor to get at piping. We also completed basic framing. Then we changed our mind and decided to remove that work and restore the area to its original condition. To do the restoration work we reviewed multiple-capable contractors in the area using Yelp. We chose Ridans Home Maintenance based on those capabilities and friendly communications. The work was done as mutually scheduled employing quality methods, materials, and crew. After, Dan and his men cleaned the area, removing discarded material as requested. The work and price was acceptable and referrals by us would be provided gladly. read more

Dan is a dirtbag, and that's being nice, still owes me $1500 for unfinished work on my cabin and refuses to answer my calls, I would love to hear his response to my review on hear read more

Unfortunately, quotes were inaccurate and work was done incorrectly. I highly recommend anyone who uses this company to require proof of the licenses/certifications the company says it holds before work is started. After multiple requests, that documentation was never delivered. This company was extremely unprofessional in every respect. I hate to leave a bad review, but I would advise anyone to be very cautious and maintain documentation of any correspondence if you were to decide to work with Ridans Home Maintenance. read more

A high-quality plumber that was punctual, highly trustworthy, clearly communicated, gave me an expert diagnosis, clean, and fair priced. Dan repaired the clog in my pipes. He knew exactly what was going on. He gave me a price and stuck to it. Before he came, he asked what was going on and gave me ideas on how to clear the clog to save him from coming out. He sent me different things i could buy to try to do it, by myself and said he would be willing to call me and the advise was for free. Just a very good guy. Not only, did he clear the clog, but also, saw other issues in the house that needed to be addressed and told me what product i could buy to repair it myself. He made me, as a customer, feel valued and comfortable with the work performed. Don't hesitate to hire Dan. I was very concerned about some of the reviews I saw on him. I couldn't afford the other prices i was being quoted, so i took the chance. I told Dan my concern and he told me that someone was giving him bad reviews and hurting his business. I don't know who is doing that to him, but if you are reading this review, it is not right to mess with peoples livelihood. Especially, in Maine where winters are brutal and work is hard to find. Furthermore, Dan is a great guy, hard worker with an unbelievable work performance. It is wrong on so many levels. Based on his performance, there is no way he could be reviewed that badly. Therefore, whoever is watching his reviews, take my word and ignore the bad reviews. Once Dan left, i knew for sure that the reviews were made up and will definitely hire him again. read more

Daniel responded to us quickly and came when he said he would. He was very friendly and professional. He knew what he was doing and he was very thorough and he got the job done. We are very pleased with his work, and we will use his services again. Thank you, Daniel, and it was nice meeting you. read more

Scheduled a plumbing appointment and did not show up. Also never responded to me reaching out. Not reliable.

Daniel is not an honest man, he was suppose to be here Monday and then he said he would be here Wednesday/Thursday, he was a no show .he said he would write a contract for me more than once. Now he just don't answer messages. Total flop read more

I had water damage to my 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, beautiful mobile home in Central Maine and Dan, ex-serviceman, and his lovely wife Riley, came to the rescue and repaired over 2 steady days the underbelly of the 1- floor home. It is beautiful as new! Thank you Dan and Riley of RIDAN HOME MAINTENANCE! read more

No show, no call, voicemail full, at scheduled time to do urgent agreed on work. I should have paid attention to the reviews.

Responded quickly. He remodeled my kitchen and provided me with several exceptional functional space solutions. And to top it all off he did it for a great price. I highly recommend. read more

Dan and his team were great! Very knowledgeable and they did great work. They relocated a washer and dryer and helped us out with a few other plumbing and general maintenance needs in our new house. His rates were very reasonable and they responded to our request very quickly. We will likely use them again in the future. read more

Showed up promptly when he said he would. Charged a fair price and was very knowledgeable about the work preformed.

If you hire a Dan Woods who look like Radon. His business name was Ridan I am sure he will open up a new business under a different name. Read the reviews at Better Business. Dan stole $20,000 from us. Never completed the job. Now he is treating us because he claims are bad review is keeping him from getting jobs. We have reached to him asking if he will do good on the money he owes us and of course there is every excuse possible of why he won't. He blames everyone else but himself. So it's now time we get a lawyer to take him to court. Read the reviews before you hire him. He is famous for stealing money from every job he takes on. read more

Dan came in and helped set a few things straight in our Bangor house before we sold it in May of this year. Checked a few things and when replacing an outlet found a mess of wires, spent an extra two or three hours trying to resolve it. read more

Job was not finished and He does not respond to text or phone calls. The job will not pass inspection.

Words to the wise. Do not do what I did and pay the whole fee for the service until it is completed. I paid up front for the service and it was never completed. If I could go back in time I would have paid half when the work began and the other half when completed. Learned this lesson the hard way and am hoping that this review helps others in the future. read more

I feel like one star is not low enough for this low life. Dan Woods is a huge con man. He did not give me a contract and kept asking for more money without much with results. I was very stupid and thought he would come through and complete the job right. Was I ever wrong. Saying his work is poor is an understatement. Nothing he did was done right or to code. Please if you are reading my review do not hire this man. Also, he advertises plumbing and electrical and he is not licensed for either. read more

Done a great job, professional,, and reasonable price. Fast and reliable service. Prompt reply and scheduled within a reasonable time.

I had an urgent need to get him out to a rental property because of a water leak and he was able to get out there quickly and take care of the problem. read more

We needed a new outlet for a range at our remote farmhouse. Dan got us onto his schedule with very short notice and did a great job with what ended up being a trickier job than it first appeared due to the particulars of our very old house's very old wiring and lack of crawlspace. Reasonably priced, very communicative, quality work. Ridan's is our new "go-to" for home maintenance. read more

We paid $2550.00 in December of 2022 for Ridan's Home Maintenance to replace a pole on our property in Albion. The work was never done and he will not respond to multiple attempts to contact him. We have reached out to an attorney to try to get our money back. read more

My first contact with Dan was regarding a leak in my furnace room. Turns out it had nothing to do with the furnace, which Dan quickly diagnosed and repaired at a reasonable price. He also said he could take care of the mess in the downstairs that ServPro left behind (that's a story for the review I'm leaving for them). At first, it was not easy getting a hold of him (he's got a LOT on his plate!) but once things got rolling, he was very easy to work with, very thorough, took the time needed to do the job right, and went above and beyond. And at a very reasonable price, to boot. I would highly recommend Ridan's and would hire them again! read more

On 2/23/23 we paid him $500 (which included a tip) to remove an in-line filter that broke, had no bypass feature, so we had no water. He talked us into a "custom filter system" that he guaranteed would take care of all our well water issues. On 2/24/23 we paid him $700 to get parts - valves, filters etc. He did install a sediment filter and a fiber filter, but was waiting on the "correct parts" to arrive for the complete system. For months we got nothing but excuses when he did bother to respond. On 4/1/23 he finally showed up, with a long list of excuses and fooled us again - he changed the filter so we would have water as the partial system had clogged reducing our water flow to next to nothing. He is such a convincing con, we gave him another $700 to complete the system. Other than a couple excuses, we have nothing to show for it. I missed several days of work, when he was scheduled to install the system and never showed. He did agree to refund the $700, because he was out of work related to a broken foot, compounded by dropping a water heater on same foot, then double hernia surgery, etc etc. Now, we have to bypass the filter to have water flow. We thought we had found someone who took pride in doing a good job, right the first time - but we were suckers. Don't fall for it! read more
