The gentleman who came to our house was a little rude and abrasive. He reviewed the work we wanted done, and told us he was too busy to start anything that day. The work still hasn’t been completed, and we haven’t even heard back him. He hasn't returned our calls. I get that everyone has bad days, but I would never call him again.
Description of Work: We purchased their Big Deal for four hours of handyman services.

I'm disappointed with the service provided by Handyman Contractors. I had a contractor come out and give me a bid for some minor home repairs. He offered to purchase an appliance for me at his cost which was 3 times the cost of what I could find at home depot. He gave me a date for when he would be doing the work and when I didn't hear back I called and he postponed the work. When he did come one of the things I had asked him to do I had another contractor do the job. He did another smaller job but left it unfinished and charged me the original estimate. He said he would get back with me to repair it or install a new item but I never heard back. I feel ver taken advantage of by this company and paid way too much for the service. I will never use this company again.
Description of Work: Three bi fold doors purchased, painted and installed. 4 door pull knobs attached. New toilet flush kit installed. Water filter attached to instant hot water heater.

It went ok. The handyman was on time. I think I requested too many things. I now see streaking on the paint on the door. Otherwise, the quality of the work seems ok.

Mike was excellent and his experience and can-do personality were great. While we had hoped to install 4 windows. It turned out that the original windows were much harder to remove then normal. This is normal for remodeling projects and with Mike's help we just worked on solving them. Would strongly recommend Mike.
Description of Work: Mike S from Handyman Contractor helped me install two milgard retrofit windows on the 2nd floor.

My sun room had patio doors that would not lock properly. Needless to say I felt unsafe to have my doors the way they were. I called Handyman Contractor and they came out a day or two later to look at my problem and give me an estimate. They were willing to do the entire job that day but I was unavailable so they came back the next morning and got it done very quickly. The doors lock perfectly and I feel much more secure in my home. I would recommend them to others. They were very professional and very reasonably priced. For the parts, they do not up charge the cost of the materials and they even show you a receipt for the amount they spent on the cost for materials. I am very satisfied and feel they did a wonderful job!
Description of Work: They removed the handles and locks that didn't work and replaced them with handles and locks that did work.

I got 4 hours of labor as part of a "Big Deal" and used them for these repairs. Jeff did a very professional job. This was not a challenging job for him by any means, but he clearly put the effort into getting it done well. I would use Jeff again.
Description of Work: Jeff with Handymen replaced a door, screens and other wooden structural pieces of my patio cover. He also stained the new wood.
This individual appeared promptly and was friendly and professional. He performed all the chores I had on a list for him and then some. This was an Angie's Special of four hours of handyman work for $99. After three hours, he called me at work and said he'd done everything on the list! He was creative in finding additional jobs, like the driveway gate and offered to come by my work for me to sign the paperwork which was quite thoughtful. I've looked over his work, and everything was done very well. Of course, I can't see the roof. After cleaning out the gutters and cleaning all the old leaves off the roof, the individual told me he did NOT think I needed a new roof. I had mentioned to him that it had been recommended to me by a roofing contractor that I add a layer of shingles on the back of my house. After this comment, I'm going to seek another opinion! This may end up saving me a substantial amount of money!
Description of Work: Services were miscellaneous repairs I had identified: re-connecting a wooden stairs railing to the post at the top of the stairs; re-attaching some wooden doors to an outside brick stove; repairing the gate at my driveway so it closes properly; attaching wooden lattice to the top of a patio wall, and cleaning out my gutters.

The representative was on time, and obviously knew what he was doing. He planned the three projects to conserve time. He took care to itemize all material he may need, and, even tho my window sills are white paint, he made sure the shade of white paint was correct and matched with the house. My gate has metal posts that he was able to re-use. However, the frame of the gate and the boards were all replaced in a lovely redwood. The hinges were upgraded, and the original latch was able to be reused. The door bell just needed a new button, replaced easily and cheaply. Overall, I appreciate the attention to detail, and the quality of work.

cabinet refacing, handyman service
+ 0 more
This contractor came up on a search for "painter, Cabinet Refacing/Restoration. They had a grade of "A" so I called and was told by the receptionist that whoever came out would be ready to paint on the day of the appointment. I specifically asked if they would have a sprayer on the truck and was assured. I scheduled, he came out but was only able to give me an estimate that day, no sprayer, no time to do the job that day anyway. The job was to spray paint 4 plantation shudder doors, the estimate was for $170 labor only, I purchased the paint, 2.5 gallons were used by the time the job was done. I am a diy'er with much experience painting however because the doors have a ton of slats and I wanted it to be silky smooth with no drips or brush strokes, I decided to bite the bullet and pay a pro. The painter arrived a week later as promised and was very friendly. He had just purchased a new Wagner sprayer, the kind any of us could buy at Home Depot, in fact, I have a Wagner and won't use it because it sputters too much. The job was uneven, smooth in places and so uncovered and rough in places I could still see the primer underneath. One day gone and I was not about to accept these results, he agreed. We rescheduled for Saturday on his own time so he could complete the job. I had to work Saturday so I left my husband in charge of accepting the work and paying the bill. My husband said the painter worked very hard, it looked ok to him so at the end of day 2, he paid the bill. In fairness to the painter, he told me that painters never us Behr Paint from Home Depot so I accept responsibility for choosing an inferior product. The whole reason I called a painter that specializes in cabinets was because I wanted it to come out nice, like a pro did it. I guess my mistake was calling for handyman services and not a painter specifically. It's pretty bad. Smooth along the four outer sides (top,bottom and 2 sides) but the slats were not covered in a consistent manner. In certain light the inconsistency is very noticeable, and the inferior uneven quality of the job becomes very obvious the second you touch the doors. He also caused a 2 inch chip on one of the doors driving a nail at the top of the door, too close to the edge. I did not complain to the owner because I paid $170 for what ended up being approximately a 10 hour job. I don't trust them to get it right anyway.
Description of Work: Four plantation shudder doors, taken outside and made to stand in a "U" formation by nailing slats of wood at the top to join the doors together. Painter used small foam roller and sprayer to paint both sides a white color. He returned to complete the job and did some light sanding and more spraying, however I was not there to see what was actually done on day 2.

Response from Handyman Contractor
As President of the company, I am disappointed with this review. We always strive to make sure the customer is satisfied even if the project goes way over time and budget as this one did. The painter that we had specially selected for this project is one of our finest with well over 20 years of experience painting, and he has completed many projects with our company since 2002 with excellent results. The only explanation I can offer for the situation on this project for the member is that our craftsman had an off day. It can happen to be best of us. This explanation, of course, is little consolation to the customer who is left to live with a result they are not satisfied with. This is why Handyman Contractor has our written guarantee on all of our contracts. If I would have known that the final result was not satisfactory, I would have offered to send a different craftsman to complete the project. However, given the review, I can understand why the customer chose to not go that route. I wish I could be given the opportunity to earn that trust back since we have an excellent track record over our 15 years in business, but we are not entitled to a 2nd chance. This is why we strive to do the job right the first time every time. I'm sorry for your negative experience with our company, but I hope you will give us an opportunity to earn your business back someday. Sincerely, R. Casey McGreevy President Handyman Contractor

Handyman Contractor company responded quickly to an email request for an estimate. They set a date and time for someone to come and see what was needed. They sent an experienced handyman/contractor who took measurements and offered a reasonable bid. We agreed on a date to do the repair. He built the doors off-site at his workshop, delivered, installed and made sure they fit the old frame.

I have used them before and price is probably the reason I went with them again. They came out within a day or two of my call. It took him about six hours to complete the work. He cleaned up when he was done and he hauled away the old water heater and laundry room sink. I had a leak under the kitchen sink and he came back right away to fix that.
Description of Work: I used Handyman Contractor in September to put in a new hot water heater, a laundry sink and faucet and new faucets that go to the washer. They also replaced the outside water shutoff main to the house and the kitchen sink and faucet.

Response from Handyman Contractor
We always appreciate the opinions of our clients. We feel very strongly about NOT taking advantage of people because we try very hard to earn your trust. This is why we give free in-home estimates, so there is no risk. Also, we price by the job, not the hour, so you know the full price before the work begins. As for the complaint from this specific job, the client agreed to the price up front and understood what the price would be before we began any work. Regardless of that fact, in the spirit of providing excellent customer service we still informed the client that she will be given a "double coupon discount" on her next project which has a value of up to $100.
