There were two things that we wanted him to look at: there was a problem with the toilet in the master bedroom. It did not flush properly. Also, there was a light fixture on the deck that was not working. He came to our house charged us for something around 60-70 dollars! just to tell us that he can not do anything about any of these problems and we need to call a plumber and an electrician!! well, we used to have a great handyman which unfortunately moved to California. Anytime he came over if he was not able to fix it he would not charge us a penny so the experience we had with Paul was really shocking!!!!!

Response from Paul Meade Handyman
This is not Paul Meade in Mesa, AZ. Paul does not charge if he cannot help the customer with what the customer needs. Paul has been doing this line of work for a long time, and he is experienced enough to know what he can and cannot do, usually before he gets into the job. We went through all our records and did not find this member's name in any of our records. In addition, unless this customer is a landlord for a property in AZ, an additional evidence that Paul didn't do this work is that the customer's address is listed as being in PA, and we are in AZ.

We are very pleased to have found a "handyman" with Paul's skills and honesty. His work is extremely well done and his prices are reasonable. While some people may have the skills and the time (about 4 hours) to do these things themselves, for those of us who do not, Paul is a real "find".
Description of Work: Replaced the bad caulking around tub/shower with silicone (both around the tub/tile join and at the floor. I asked him to take a look at all potential issues in the three bathrooms and redo any caulking that needed attention. He fixed around the base of one toilet mostly for appearances sake, after asking me what I thought. After careful inspection, he told us that everything else in all three baths looked fine. At my husband's request, he looked at one of the bathroom sinks that has drained slowly for a long time despite our efforts to clean it out; Paul fixed the problem.

This job was the second one this man did for us, as we were so pleased with the first effort. Was polite, punctual helpful explaining all that he did. He amassed the materials needed and performed the job in a day's time. The end result was to our satisfaction and it is now quite serviceable to use. He cleaned up 100% upon the completion of the job and provided a detailed bill for all services performed and materials purchased. He was most reasonable in his pricing and skilled in his work. I am most satisfied. Highly recommend. What I most like about this man is he works solo and not part of a conglomeration or large group.

It went great per usual. My side door to our garage had leaked rainwater for years. I'd had work done on it previously but to no avail. Paul was able to find the problem areas on and around the door and fixed them with proper caulking and sealing techniques. He also repaired some crooked and inappropriately installed bathroom light fixtures for me.
Description of Work: Paul fixed two items off of my repair wish list!

Response from Paul Meade Handyman
Paul bases his rate on how long it takes to complete the job. He has an hourly rate which, usually, he tells people up front ($39/hr except for plumbing which is $43/hr). If a job is simpler, it will take less time and therefore cost less in the long run.

Paul planned his work well, saved us net cost by making the missing oak pieces, and minimized the trips to buy materials. He was on budget. I am very satisfied with his work. As with all handymen, he could not handle some projects I had on my list. He identified them when he came to bid the jobs. I appreciate that as some will undertake things that they are not well versed in.
Description of Work: Removed two light poles on my dock and installed two new ones, Installed a piece of oak onto a bathroom cabinet, installed an oak trim piece on another cabinet, checked the integrity of the kitchen disposal.

He was very professional, available on short notice, very careful with his work, did an excellent job assembling furniture, removing ceiling fan, and mounting tv. He was a very hard worker but a bit slow. worked 10 straight hours and barely finished the bedroom. Did a great job assembling but did need several reminders on which side to attach ladder to loft bed and to put doors on bookcase and entertainment center. Extremely professional and nice, very hard worker, very careful. Did not clean up very well after the job and worked slowly. Great guy but if I wasn't injured I probably would have done the job myself to save time and money. I am very glad he was able to help me this time though. I wouldn't mind the $40/hr if he worked a little more efficiently. I would have given all A's if he worked a little quicker and if he had cleaned up after himself. Otherwise, very nice man who did a competent job.

Response from Paul Meade Handyman
One thing people usually appreciate about Paul is how he cleans up so well after himself. In this case, the work had taken a long time (Ikea furniture is more complicated than many people realize), so he specifically asked if the customer would prefer to clean up to save money, rather than Paul cleaning it up himself. I believe Paul and the customer agreed on his hourly rate for doing the work, instead of a specific quote. A quote might have suited this customer better; when Paul gives a quote, he stands by it, even if it takes more time than he thought it would.

This was done very professionally. I got some good advice on how to hang the light fixture that saved time and money and all other projects went just as I had hoped for. I recommended this team to my neighbor as a result.

Paul was great! Good attention to detail, does the job right. He does not take on jobs that he is not sure he can do. Price was quite reasonable. Don't let the door to door charge scare you off. He more than makes up for it in the speed that he accomplishes things and in the reasonable hourly rate. I was able to give him a list and leave! Will use again. Excellent work!
