The serviceman did a great job. He was very thorough and worked diligently to make sure the awning was braced sufficiently for its size and weight. He found a wiring problem with the deck lighting and fixed that as well.
Description of Work: I bought a motorized retractable patio awning (14' wide) and needed installation. Also, outdoor deck lighting wasn't working so asked for that to be troubleshoot and repaired.

I would not recommend any referrals through Handyman Connection as I had two out of two bad experiences with their referrals.
Description of Work: Referred to this company by Kitchen Mart to have a trash compactor removed and replaced with a cabinet/drawer. A contractor (Dean Schoborg) that is affiliated with them came out and measured, gave an estimated labor cost and was never heard from again. I contacted Handyman Connection to check on status and was told that the contractor thought it was too much for him to handle. When asked why I was not notified of this, they did not know and then referred me to a cabinet shop. I then contacted said cabinet shop and was told that someone would contact me, which I never have heard back from anyone.

Response from Handyman Contractor
Unfortunately, this was a rare communication failure on our part. Our craftsmen work as our employees so we can ensure the quality of our work and stand behind every job we do. Our craftsman did not report the situation back to the office in a timely manner which forced the client to contact us to find out the status. As for the referral, that cabinet shop is no longer on our reference list because of their lack of response to this client. If we do refer a client to another company because a job is outside the scope of what we do, we want to make sure that company will follow through.

We had general contractor first, do some plumbing work for us. He worked hard and sincerely wanted to do a good job, so we asked for an estimate to take apart and extend our deck. He worked hard on it and came up with good ideas to save money on materials.

I contacted them on the 14th and they were supposed to show up on the 15th at 2 PM. They never showed or called to explain why they didn't show. I had to call them and they said they wouldn't be able to get to me for another 3 days. I don't think that I would care to do business with these people.

The work was awful! The seams didn't match, the wood was uneven, the nails stuck out and the paint didn't even come close to matching. Since they offer a one-year guarantee ,I called them to come back and do it right. It took several more calls to finally get someone out. He didn't do any better, they just didn't seem to get it, so I just gave up. I was extremely disappointed that no one from the company, ever called to see if I was happy with their work. They just didn't seem to care.
Description of Work: I needed dry rot repaired on the outside of my home and the repair needed to be painted.

The gentleman that did the estimate was very nice, and professional, explained everything. He told me to call back and said they would finalize the estimate. I called a week or so ago, they said someone would call and no one ever did. I called this past Thursday and said the same thing, but still no one has gotten back with me.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate and they came out, but never got back with me for the appointment.

The worker was on time, had to get supplies, was successful getting items that were appropriate. He was respectful of my home (took shoes off) stayed focused and completed the job within the time alloted. There was a communication issue as the worker didn't speak English fluently, but was dealt with.
Description of Work: He replaced the light fixture. He replaced and cleaned the air conditioner, filter and vent. The gate latch was repaired. He replaced cabinet hardware/screws. He install flag pole hardware. He attempted to install a wireless doorbell.

We are happy this project went well. It is a requirement that all of our craftsmen are fluent in english since they communicate directly with our customers. Some of our craftsmen may have accents since we do not discriminate, but they all have a command of the english language.

The first appointment that I made was canceled at the last minute because the contracted person's car was not working. I agreed to reschedule for the next weekend and was specific about the time as I would be returning from an appointment. I arrived home 10 minutes before the scheduled time to a message asking for a call to confirm whether or not a specific piece of equipment (a snake) should be brought. I called back to discover that he was at least 30 minutes away, so he arrived 30 minutes after the scheduled time as he was waiting for my call. Seems like he should have just brought the snake and been on time! He did show up and during the work, although he didn't use foul language, he was obviously irritated and upset. He was not the right person for the job, but my main complaint is that Handyman Connection, who contracts with these individuals, did not respond to my concerns and charged TOO MUCH for what was done.
Description of Work: Repairs that I needed done were to correct a very slow filling toilet and fix bathtub, bathroom sink, and kitchen sink leaks. I live in a home built about 1925 and tried to be clear that I needed someone with some experience with older homes. The person the company sent out was able to improve the toilet flow, but was very frustrated with older plumbing in the sink and tub. It may be true that replacement and not repair was called for, but the job did not go well, the handyman was clearly frustrated, and it was uncomfortable to have him in the house. I did not have him complete the repair on the kitchen sink, as I was anxious to have him leave. I also made a hasty agreement on the price, but hoped that I could work with the company and perhaps get some sort of credit to compensate for the unsatisfactory work. I called to discuss with the company a couple of times and was promised a return call that was never made.

Said it would be $190.00. After he hung the fan he had to put mud in which was another $75.00. I won't use them again. It's just too expensive. Didn't use drop cloths and got dust everywhere.

Closer on gate on wrong side so that it pushes gate open instead of close. Gate not flush with fence. 1 5/8 inches off. Latch does not close. Very large gap between gate and fence. Worker had us purchase a lot of lumber and used none. Attic access ladder is UNSAFE!!! Many of the bolts and screws to connect ladder to framing are missing & those that are in are without washers so frame can fall out over heads. Ladder feet not installed so that ladder does not reach floor. The bottom section just swings above the floor. Feet are left on garage floor. NO INSTRUCTIONS LEFT or bolts to attach feet. Worker took down molding around old attic access and did not put any back. Big gaps around door and ceiling. Gaps where hinge attaches to framing. Storage racks had 16 decorative covers for square holes. Worker put in 2, left 2 on garage floor, rest are missing. The instructions are also missing. Worker left a mess. His idea of "first thing in the morning" was 9:30 am.
Description of Work: 1. Rehung gate with closer 2. Installed attic access ladder 3. Hung storage racks in garage

On 6/29/2006, we were notified of the situation. We got a different craftsman out to the home the next day to perform warranty repairs. The original craftsman is no longer with our company.
