Rick was wonderful at communicating throughout the process and very reasonably priced. I must have had 10 doors that were not shutting correctly. Rick was very good at what he does. He works quickly and was a pleasure to have in our home.
Description of Work: Ricky went through every door in the house and straightened them to open and shut correctly. He also fixed a broken cabinet door. Finally Rick pocketed and fixed a leak under the kitchen sink from the dishwasher and replaced a faucet in the laundry room. It it was great that he showed me how to make many of the repairs myself if these items need fixed again.

Rick called about a half prior to the scheduled appointment time and advised he would be about 30 minutes late. When he showed up he got right to work. After checking out what I wanted done Rick explained what he needed to do to complete each job and graciously showed me how to do the repairs if I was interested. He also asked me to look over his work and made sure I approved of it. He was meticulous in making sure the caulking was perfect and he redid one area when it was not. He also cleaned up as he went. I hired him for an additional hour since he was doing such a great job and was available.
Description of Work: Rick caulked around the kitchen sink, two toilets and one bathtub; he installed one bathroom light fixture and two carbon monoxide detectors.

I found Ricks Handy man on Angies list and have had him work on 6or 7 projects since then, some projects are multiple day projects. He is very focused on the final product and its appearance, very selective of the materials used and the final product always looks great. I have not always written a review, but he has replaced, deck, built a block mailbox, fence replacement, clean gutters, tree removal and trimming, toilet replacement and sink leak repair. You can trust the work to be done as you would like it to be.
Description of Work: This trip Rick installed a double shower curtain in my hall bath and rebuilt a section of fence that had fallen down.

I was not happy. The guy was here until midnight just fixing, not even building the gate. He couldn't do half of the thing, anyway. It was disappointing. He had all day. It was not good. It was a lot more than the Big Deal.

Response from Rick's Handyman Service
I had a customer that I did work for October 14, 2013. This lady wrote a review on me and said I did work for her on June 1st 2015. I did not recognize this client at first. I worked for her 25 months ago. In her review she said that half the things I did I could not fix that's probably because he or custom parts and had to be ordered and had to be put on through the custom shower door company that specializes in custom glass doors I've been doing this trade for a long time building houses and I knew that this was a job that had to be done through the company that installed the special glass doors. Other thing she had on her list I tried to fix to the best of my knowledge Pilates items that she had on her list such as sliding doors that were sliding properly the wheel bearings underneath the glass doors were warned I adjust them for the her the best I could until she can get them fixed right that also had to go through a door company that manufactures that type of door. After I did the big deal special for this lady I worked 3 hours of my own time after the big deal special to complete the rest of the work that she wanted done she had a fence that was falling over and was sagging I replace the post the gate in the fence boards with all new materials I told her the other part of her fence was starting to fall over and needed to be fixed but she didn't have the time or money to do the rest of the fence at this time she would have to do it another time later on in the future so I fixed it to the best of my knowledge to make it work right and I guess I was out till late trying to complete the job so I wouldn't have to come back later in a week or two because I am very busy so I stayed late to complete it and make it right this was 25 months ago if she can not close your gate and its not working properly it's because her fence is probably sagging and leaning and the gate is now not closing correctly because of the fence sagging out of the three hours that I work for her I had to go get material at Home Depot and that was 2 hours just to get the wood and driving time to get there and back she wanted all this done in one day I've been doing this for 40 years I have a system some people think this because you get a big deal you can fix everything in one day sometimes it takes longer we are only human so if she thinks she can do a better job do it herself it's like a car you can buy a brand new car but if you don't change the oil and rotate tires and put new tires on and take care of that car is this going to fall apart and start working it's how you take care of things if you don't take care of things correctly things will eventually start to fall apart so that's part of being a responsible owner of a house or car or anything else if you don't take care of things they're not going to last very long so when things are so worn out or not taken care of properly Busta handyman and service workers that provide our services for people like you can only do and work on fix the problems that you have to the best of our knowledge is most of the all the people I work for understand this and they're very understanding and underst you need to learn how to take care of things better and just don't let him go till everything just falls apart and does not work correctly anymore it's just like your body you don't take care of it if not get a hold up and eventually you won't be able to do the things that used to do its called common sense and using good judgement in life but when I left everything was working correctly when I left. And the things I couldn't fix. And called the other companies that I recommended to her or the manufactures then that is her I only can give her the best knowledge and advice that I have in the trade you can only do the best you can just like anybody else we are only human and people but you can't help people if they don't want to help themselves or follow up on the advice that you give them that is my response thank you Rick handyman services and I looked at the check that she wrote me it was for a hundred and $10 at the time 25 months ago October 14th 2013

I needed work done to repair some rotted wood around my chimney and tried to call the provider. I reached a voicemail and was asked to leave a message. I indicated the need the above job and also mentioned that I have some other jobs that would become available and asked if I could get estimates. i left my name and two different phone numbers where I would be reached. That was on 9/24/2015 - as of today 10/2/2015 I have never received a call back.

Replaced aprox 50 linear feet of rotted fascia/eave boards. Because we have a tar and gravel flat roof (mid-century modern Carter Sparks), the project required more skill than a typical fascia replacement. Having grown up in an Eichler himself, Rick knew exactly how to manage the project. Rick spent 10 hours first assessing, then shopping for materials, and finally replacing and painting new boards. He took care in shopping by frugally selecting materials. $400 labor $160 material We will have Rick out again to do more work as we were pleased with both his communicative process and skill.

Rick is a great handyman and has a lot of experience in a variety of areas. He estimated the installation of the floor would take 3 days and that was accurate. He removed the old carpet and pad and cut the carpet into squares so we could dispose of it in our garbage can, saving the cost of taking it to the dump. He asked appropriate questions throughout the project to make sure he was creating exactly the look we wanted in the floor. The floor looks beautiful. After paying for materials and for Rick's service we saved $1300, almost half the cost of having our contractor do the same job. Part of this is because Ricks fees are so low and also because we did some of the work ourselves, such as moving the furniture and painting the woodwork. It was worth it. Rick does great finish work. This is his second job for us. He installed our front door last year, which is much harder than it looks. We are delighted with his work.

Getting handywork from Rick is very straightforward: You call him, describe what you need to do on the phone (can be one big task or a list of small tasks), he shows up on time, you give him the list and he gets to work. If desired, you can work with him (which I usually do). This time I had a set of landscaping stairs I had started with pressure treated lumber. I had done 5 out of 10 steps, but it was taking me too long. Rick worked fast and efficiently. We were able to complete the remaining 5 steps in less than a day. They are built strong with dormers, 4' steel rebars driven in the ground and long lag screws.

All A's for Rick. Hired him for 3 days to help me fix up a home we'd purchased. While I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do, Rick improved upon many of those ideas and also suggested other items he could do while I had him there. Good work ethic, very good balance of speed and quality in his work, and easy to talk to. I will hire him again when I have a bundle of work for him. Thanks Rick!

Rick called me back the same day after I left him a message and then he called me back a couple of days later as I had not yet responded. I appreciated the follow-up as that showed initiative on his part. He communicated well with me and showed that he had an eye for detail. I will definitely be utilizing his talents again and would highly recommend him for your needs. If there's something outside the scope of his area of expertise, he will tell you so, and this level of honesty is critical. Thank you, Rick, for your help and I look forward to calling upon you again!

Upon arrival Rick had me sign his timecard and went right to work. He is very knowledgeable about repairs and also seems to be very detail and customer service oriented. He asked how I would like things repaired, listened to what was discussed and followed through. All the projects were done beautifully and I have already scheduled some more work to be done in a few weeks. It feels great to be able to cross all these projects off my list. I believe he keeps quite busy, my first appointment was scheduled about 3 weeks out, so schedule with patience. His prices are extremely reasonable and I would not hesitate to recommend his work to my friends.
Description of Work: Rick's Handy man service repaired a running and leaking toilet, installed a new water hose to it, installed a towel rack, installed a new set of locks on my front doors, rewired an electrical outlet, cut up a dead tree in the back yard and helped me purchase the supplies for future fence repairs.
