Doc’s Handyman Services

We recently pulled the trigger on a new roof and new kitchen for our SLT log home. We live in VA full-​time, so we needed a handyman to accomplish a variety of related maintenance and small improvements to bring the rest of the home up to spec (securing loose railings, minor drywall/​painting touch ups, etc). Located «Doc» online, then spoke by phone and email — he was friendly, if a little pushy, but seemed committed to getting the job done. The very first day (mid-​Nov ’13) he showed up to check out the property he managed to pi$$ off our roofing contractor and electrician — in one short visit… when he wasn’t even hired yet. We were anxious to get it done, though, so we agree on a list of projects with him. He noted that we were pulling out old cabinets and asked that we save them for him. We did so, forgoing the haul-​away that was included in our cabinet contract. So it’s been about two months now since we’ve heard from «Doc» — no explanation, no effort to communicate at all. And we’ve subsequently lost a four-​day rental because the home was not complete (thanks, «Doc»!) and had to pay a hauling service $ 140 to take away the cabinets that he asked us to save for him. I really look forward to his reply to this — it will be the first time he answered a communication from us!
