Stay away! This project has caused us nothing but stress and work!
We were given a time estimate of 3 days for replacing the ceiling on our main level and installing 8 recessed lights. When we noticed that workers did not make use of any tarp or drop cloths, or care when working in our home, we were annoyed. When the work took 5 full days instead of 3 we were frustrated but understood. Sometimes something turns out to be more work than initially thought - it happens. We were so desperate to get our home back that we even ended up helping the workers paint & clean, just so we could start the process of moving back upstairs into our main level.
When we fully inspected the work the next day in daylight we realized that it was a mess! The ceiling was uneven, full of dents and craters. The work around the recessed lights was messy and just plain ugly. Our hardwood floor was still covered in paint, some of the baseboards damaged and a wooden beam dividing our living space, covered in paint and scratched.
I mentioned all our concerns to Clay when he stopped by a few days later to change out some light switches. He ensured me everything would be taken care of and fixed. We agreed Gabriel, his worker who did the majority of the work, would stop by the following weekend to fix any spots that needed more work.
Gabriel did in fact stop by 2 more times, again plastering, sanding and painting without the use of any tarp or drop cloths (we provided our own this time but paint still got on our rugs and floors). In an attempt to fix some of the damaged spots on our wall he used our wall paint we had sitting on the counter, which was glossy paint for the kitchen, on our living room walls which used matte paint. Leaving us the having to repaint the entire living room. The ceiling was still uneven, a light fixture in our hallway covered in paint, and the recess lighting still messy. Our house was yet again completely covered in dust, paint and plaster and we were still living in our basement.
After 5 full days of work and 2 extra evening visits, we were still extremely unhappy with the work and the care (or lack thereof) taken in our home.
I contacted Clay and told him that we were very frustrated mostly as an FYI but also declined having Gabriel come to our home again since we already knew it would end up in more damage than progress. We decided to fix any issues ourself since we just wanted our home back. Clay apparently took this as an opportunity to reveal his anger issues and accused us of not paying (I personally paid the amount in full 1 week prior with him standing across the room) and threatened to put a lien on our home and that we would hear from his attorney. He then said that it was not fair to complain without giving him the chance to fix any outstanding issues with their work. But after 7 days of work when 3 days were promised, we felt we had given more than a fair chance to make things right.
Overall a bad experience with this company. We had been very accommodating with the work taking much longer than promised, the mess in our home and paid in full before work was finished.
Unprofessional, rude, careless and no attention to detail. Will definitely never use again or recommend to anyone. Stay away!

Received four quotes for three major home projects: A complete master bathroom remodel, a new deck, and replacement of a drop ceiling with sheetrock and repair of a water-damaged wall in a guest bedroom.
The first three quotes were from high end remodelers. A friend recommended Allen Geoffrey's Handyman Services to us (she had just had her bathroom remodeled). Geoff and his crew (Mark and Brian) came out to survey the jobs. They spent more time with me going over what work we wanted and what our major concerns were. They suggested a comprehensive plan of attack from top to bottom. We were consulted at every step of each of the projects to ensure that our expectations and design elements were incorporated.
Their price quote came in thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars less than the three previous quotes. While they don't provide the design assistance of the high end contractors, they met us at a big box contractor store and helped us color-coordinate our design interests. They took care of ordering all the various pieces parts needed and got us a significant discount on materials.
First, they replaced the deck to install flashing (that the previous home owner neglected to do), that led to the water damage in the guest bedroom. The deck was brought up to code and revealed serious problems with the previous deck installation.
After the deck was done, the crew split off into two teams, one working on the master bathroom, the other, working on the guest bedroom.
The crew took care of hauling off all old materials and cleaned up after each day. The work was first-rate.
As with any major home project, unexpected/unforeseen problems arise. While removing the water-damaged sheetrock in the guest bedroom, major water damage was discovered to the exterior wall. Geoff gave me a very reasonable labor estimate to repair the wall. That wall is now the strongest in the house.
They show up when expected, every day, until the job is done. They go beyond what is expected to ensure that the client is happy with the direction the project is headed.
I highly recommend these master plumbers. I guess my highest endorsement is that, when our kitchen cabinets come in, Geoff and his crew will be doing our complete kitchen remodel (again, coming in thousands of dollars less than the high-end contractors). If you need any work done to your home, give them a call. They will not disappoint you.
And, Geoff, Mark, & Brian, our new master bathroom looks and functions beyond our expectations. Thank you!

In my experience of being a homeowner, you need to have a relationship with a plumber, heating/cooling person, and an electrician. I had the first 2 down, but not the electrician. After my sister said she saw many positive reviews on Next Door about PowerWorks LLC, she gave them a try for a small job at her home and liked their work. She referred them to me when I wanted to have 2 ceiling fans installed in my home. Since neither of the two areas were equipped for ceiling fans - I already knew the areas would need to be cut, wired, and more.
I got in contact with Belvin, I sent him a few pictures of the areas in question, he sent over a quote, I ordered my fans, and we scheduled a date/time for installation. His tech, Terrence, came over and did a wonderful job installing the fans. It was a 2-day job, but he cleaned up after himself (well, as much as he could. I of course had to do much more after he left), was very respectful, and was very knowledgeable of his job. I was very pleased with the final outcome of the job.
I will absolutely use PowerWorks LLC in the future for any electrical needs I require within my home. Looks like I finally found my electrician!

Andrew installed a new chandelier in our foyer. He was fast, efficient and did what seemingly 3 other contractors couldn't for a very fair and reasonable price. I would highly recommend and we will definitely plan to call Andrew in the future.

**Use Caution** I recently contracted with this company for their annual service contact ($395). My first call to them was to install a new toilet. The repair man said he was new. The estimate to install a new toilet was over $600 ($678 to be exact). The estimate to snake a slow moving drain $458. Estimate to replace a faucet cartridge was $358 plus to cost of the part estimated between $300-600. When I question about my service contract discount, the repair man replied, I don't know anything about that, but I have a Plumber License. Oh, to add a little more details to this experience; ...this estimated was scribbled on the back of his business card after he returned to his shiny new truck to work up the estimate for 20 minutes. Completely unprofessional, overprice and out of my home.
OUTRAGEOUS!
Nugent & Son also double charged my account for my service contract and when I called, they quickly reversed the charges. This is not a company I felt comfortable with at all.
This is not the same company I came to know a few years ago.

Absolutely terrible. We hired them to power wash and stain (solid stain) our deck. After they were done staining it looked worse than before they started! Paint/stain was in big clumps everywhere & some sections of paint/stain actually started to peel right off after 1 day. When I called to ask them to come re-do it, the owner, Jose said Well, do you have more work for us? I had to argue with him to come make it right! Finally they came & re-did it. It looks better (not perfect by any means) but after 3 days it was chipping again! I think they use the cheapest product on the market. Deck stain should not chip when we simply walk on it. It's pointless to have them come back again. Will never use them again.

Couldnt offer a fee schedule or list of contractor fees before showing up to the house. Could not even provide a baseline of how much it would cost even though i told them what needed fixing....they claim you have to have someone come out and pay the $70 assessment fee in which if you move forward it will count towards your service...if you decide not to move forward they keep your money. Thats like going to a resteraunt and asking to see the menu and they charge you $20...then if you dont want to eat they keep the $20....SCAM. The scheduler could not provide any other number or contact to discuss pricing....STAY AWAY
