Joel Bricker11 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Joel has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I would avoid them. They charged a $75 fee for the estimate, which is disclosed upfront, but I assumed I would get a reasonable estimate out of the deal. Unfortunately they proceeded to give me an estimate that was literally double what I got from another company that came out afterwards.
The fee is disclosed upfront which is the only thing keeping it from being a 1-star review. But when you charge a fee to give an estimate that is twice as high as another company for the same work it's a little strange. There are many other companies that won't charge for an estimate so just save yourself the trouble and skip this one.

We are sorry to see that we did not earn your business. Our quotes include all the cost involved with the project. Meaning labor, parts, etc. We also make sure that our repairs don't stop at the surface level. We dig deep to make sure anything we do holds the standard we have for when we service a home. We would love to work for you and if you are ever open to giving our family owned and operated business a try in the future, please do!

jayson just did about $4,000 worth of work at our new (to us) house in belleair beach. his communication, respect, enthusiasm, expertise, cleanup--absolutely A+! scheduling was easy, and they were able to accomodate my job right away. he showed up both days right when he said he would--sadly a dying art these days. i would recommend blue collar to anyone, and i actually just shared positive feedback on this provider with my realtor team as well, as they are always getting asked "who to use". great job guys and thanks! gary
