I've hired someone for my project. Please stop calling me.
Had an all within one hour. Was polite, knowledgeable, and flexible. Appointment process is excellent-hop the rest goes this smoothly.
I had calls within minutes of submitting my request. The companies that reached out to me were professional and knowledgeable.
I am still waiting for a response to my request to find qualified wallpaper hangers in my area
I asked for help related to making my screen porch usable year-round and used the word "winterize." Got back information about irrigation systems for yards so, they do not freeze.
I know how to google "winterize" and had already done research about this. Whoever got my request evidently did not read it carefully or know anything at all about how to search for appropriate businesses.
They never sent a recommendation or a phone call from a professional to consult with over the service I needed
No one showed up or called for our appointment for Friday November 8,2019. No call at all. Porch service was quoted through Overstock. Appointment was set up on line, no show.
The contractor missed the 9:00 appointment. He called and rescheduled for 11:30. He arrived after 12:00. He then left the job because he did not have a stud finder and went to get one. He was gone for over an hour. When he returned he mounted the TV successfully, but spent hours trying to run the cord through the wall, which he eventually gave up on. Then he charged my elderly mother $203 when Porch had quoted $118. As you might expect, I am furious.
The HVAC contractor was quite thorough and honest and delivered prompt service as promised. We will most likely use this service again if needed in the future.
All I wanted was to get an idea of how much it would cost to have a garbage disposal installed. Instead I got a barrage of calls and texts. I would have preferred a list of providers in my area that I could have called when I was ready.
I never heard back from the contractor. Not worth it.
I asked Porch to give me the name of some local businesses that could clean and repair my gutters. They just sent me a questionnaire, which I filled out. But there were never any business names sent to me. I won't be using Porch again.
If you click on this you will get people calling you from all over the country and not whom you intended it to go to. Stay away from this form. It appears to be phishing because I intended it to be sent to a specific electrician in my town and I got calls, texts and emails from Georgia, Oregon, North and South Jersey. I had to block many calls. Extremely aggravating.
We scheduled PORCH for a small project to recess & install a medicine cabinet. They failed to book it or notify us. Waste of time!
It was very easy and convenient to book a handyman via Porch's site. Our technician, Larry, was great! Very professional and polite and did an awesome job installing our light fixtures in the kitchen. Very happy! Thank you!
The installer cam on time and did a neat and excellent job of replacing my two bathroom fans. Clean job and no mess. I appreciated the worksmanship.
Porch replied to my inquiry promptly and sent a contractor equally as fast. Rob discussed the project with me and got right on it! He did a great job, worked quickly, and left the yard better than he found it! I'd use him again!
I needed a garbage disposal installed. Sam arrived on time and fixed me up in a little under an hour. Service was more affordable that the ARS subcontractor that Home Depot had contacted. Glad I went this route.
James (Hunt?) cleaned our dryer vent. He was very professional and friendly. He removed tons of lint from the vent, spliced a portion that had holes in it and reattached one of the leg stabilizers that had come loose. I highly recommend him! I will personally request him whenever I schedule a dryer vent cleaning for my son as well.
Jim was friendly, skilled and creative in the installation of our microwave drawer. I definitely recommend Front Porch.
