Brian was very prompt and accomodating. He stayed extra time to finish and make sure we were happy with the work. What a professional! He does a credit to your service and is why I always use this service to obtain pro referrals.

He was very professional, polite and helpful. He was comitted to his work and made sure the job was completed to my satisfaction. I would hire him again if any work was needed.

Response from Company:

Thank you very much, Kristy F. ! I enjoyed working for you, as you were very patient and affable.

I had the pleasure of working with Brian Gaskill this past week. I had a moldy closet that needed to be completely gutted and built back up. As soon as I put a request in on this site Brian called me so we could schedule a time for him (and his co-worker Christine Evans) to come out to the house to check out the job site. I had a good feeling about them from the start. I hired them for the job which Brian started a couple days later. There are too many details I am happy with I cant even write them all down. The final product is awesome and I am amazed by how happy I am about a silly closet now. I will most definitely work with him again!

Brian responded immediately to our inquiry and was extremely knowledgable about our needs and the task at hand (removing and old mailbox post and installing a new one along with mounting our old mailbox on the new post. He did an excellent job, bring it in on time and on budget. I will use Brian again for work at our home and highly recommend him to all our friends.

Response from Company:

That's very nice of you to say, Larry H. I'll work your projects any day and love every minute of it. You and your wife are so friendly and relaxed, that it makes work fun. Thank you.

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.

Therefore, we recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented is still current and/or acceptable to you.
