Description of Work: I called the phone number listed for this Handyman and left a voicemail with my contact information asking for a call back. He never called me so I am rating his responsiveness and professionalism with a poor score. I will give this person the benefit of the doubt that perhaps he didn't see the missed call or something personal happened but I am still disappointed.

Description of Work: Michael is great. He has performed each job exactly as quoted and on time. I've had him help me with a gut of my kitchen. He's gutted my bath, removed the fiberglass tub/shower, installed my new soaker tub, tiled the backsplash all the way up to the ceiling. I've had him install ceiling fan/lights in 3 rooms where no light was before. I still need my new laminate in my downstairs, but that's for a few weeks from now. Pricing seems fair.

I contacted Mike on Angie's list based on his reviews and location. I called him and left a message and he called back the same day. We scheduled an morning appointment time that was convenient for him. I cleared my schedule to meet him. I waited for him and expected him to show up on time and he did not arrived. I waited 15minutes before contacting him. I called his telephone number, the phone rang a couple of times then it was sent to voicemail. I left a message and he did not return my call. I waited for an hour and he did not show up for the scheduled appointment. It has been two business days since appointment. I have not receive a call from him to inform me he had an emergency to reschedule the appointment. I am very disappointed with angle's list recommendations.

I called Michael to schedule doing the work. We had a date scheduled and planned to meet at Lowe’s to get materials. When I arrived at our first appointment, he did not have the measurements he had taken, and lost the estimate he had given. He delivered the toilet and would start the work Monday at 9 am. However, he found the toilet was wrong and would not fit because he did not have the measurements with him at Lowe's. He called me at 9:15am on Monday and told me he was feeling sick and would try to come later that day, sometime after noon. Because of his disorganization I told him I was not comfortable with him doing the work due to not having measurements, getting the wrong toilet, and not having the estimate he had created. Mostly, I was unhappy he did not show up on time. He called me later that day and left me a message stating me he was charging me $125 dollars for delivering the toilet even though he did not show up for our appointment and got the wrong toilet. He also never had mentioned this charge before and we never agreed to how much that alone would cost. He also never offered to return the toilet.
Description of Work: I hired this handyman to do a list of things, including replacing a toilet, retiling and grout, paint baseboard, re hardware cabinets.

Response from Mr Fixologist Handyman and Plumbing Services
I strive to make all of my customers satisfied with my workmanship, and the way that this customer felt is regrettable, but please allow me to hopefully ameliorate some misunderstandings. When I arrived, on time, for the estimate of the job, Mrs. [member name removed] had approximately twelve projects to do. When we got to the bathroom, Mrs. [member name removed] showed me of the toilet she wanted in the space on her phone. I measured the space and confirmed that the toilet would fit there. At this time, I gave her detailed measurements for the area - how many tiles she would need, size of space for toilet, etc - and she wrote them down. The following Sunday morning, at nine am, I was waiting for Mrs. [member name removed] to arrive to get the supplies with her. When she did arrive, we went around for the supplies. Thinking that Mrs. [member name removed] still wanted the toilet she had showed me and had me take measurements for, I didn't have the measurements for the space that she had taken down. Mrs. [member name removed] then revealed to me that she wanted a different toilet. I trusted that her possession of the measurements I had taken would dictate her decision in whether she could fit the toilet in the space. I suggested that we get the one she wanted, and that if it didn't fit, I would take it back and exchange it for another one. I did not have the email estimate with me at Lowe's, but it was online, and not lost. I did not think I needed to bring it just to pick up materials. My mistake was in depending on the measurements that were on her phone. I also did not expect her to change what she wanted. It is regrettable that this customer's experience was not satisfactory, or to my professional standards, but unfortunately, I am not being afforded the opportunity to fix the situation. Hopefully my explanation has helped to clear up some misunderstandings. Michael Kripal

Mike did a great job. He called me right back and came the next day to bid the work. He showed up on time, cleaned up after himself, and finished the job on time. He does all the work himself. His bid was accurate. I highly recommend him and will definitely call him again.

In finishing up a kitchen remodel, I needed a professional to do the above work. I called mike on a Thursday, he answered my call immediately and said he could come Saturday afternoon after finishing up another job. Saturday morning he called and said he had finished up his other job early and wondered if he could come early. Of course I said yes. He arrive at 10:30 and after quoting me a price, got to work immediately. Mike was friendly, professional and efficient. He got everything done in a very reasonable amount of time and even found time to try and help me reposition my stove. Mike was a pleasure to work with and I have already asked him to come back and do some other jobs for me. As I said, he is friendly, professional, efficient and reasonable as well as the quality of his work being excellent. A rare combination these days!
Description of Work: He installed a sink, faucet, garbage disposal, air gap and an over the stove micro-wave. He also connected the dishwasher and tested all odf the above connections.

My master bedroom gets much hotter in the summer (and much colder in the winter) than the rest of the house. I wanted to add some insulation above my bedroom; however, the area above the room was difficult to access since the original attic hatch was on the opposite end of my house. This meant crawling on my belly through a dusty attic. I decided it would be a lot easier to have another attic hatch created in the master bedroom closet. While searching the internet and Angieslist for handymen in my area, I came across Mike Handyman/Plumbing service. What drew me to Mike was his 30+ years experience, the fact that he was local, and had a very positive review on Angieslist. On May 13, 2013, I e-mailed Mike and asked for a quote to create a new attic access hatch. Within two hours of e-mailing Mike, I received a response and received a very reasonable quote. Mike also requested we speak on the phone, so he could get a better idea of what I wanted and so he could run me through on what was involved. Based on my availability, I scheduled for service a week later. On May 20, 2013, Mike called an hour before arriving and was right on time. He introduced himself, shook my hand, and presented his business card. I then showed him where I wanted the access hatch and he proceeded to unload his truck of the materials needed to complete the job, as well as his tools. Mike had all the tools he needed, and the inquisitive side of me noticed that he had some high quality, brand name tools. Mike was very calculated in his approach to his job, and his experience and expertise really showed. He took his time to determine the best place to position the access hole, and also asked for my input. In fact, Mike was one of the friendliest, down to earth, and engaging handymen I've worked with. His communication skills were excellent, he let me know what he was doing every step of the way, and he didn't mind that I hung around to watch him work. Now back to the job... Mike measured out a 2' x 2' access panel, cut out the plasterboard ceiling, and then removed a ceiling joist that was in the way. He then custom made some 2 x 6's, and framed the new hole to add needed support to the existing ceiling joists. He then finished the attic access by placing trim around the hole which also held the new drywall panel (which he also provided). While working on the trim, Mike's attention to detail was evident as he measured carefully, and made sure the trim was mounted squarely around the attic hole. I've dealt with other workers before, and Mike was not like others who would rush the job at the expense of doing quality work. Mike made sure he did a great job. Oh, and another thing I liked is that he asked for trash bags, so he could minimize the mess. After the job was completed, he gave me great advice about proper attic ventilation and gave me some ideas about keeping my attic cooler. Even with all the great advice, never once did he try to upsell any services, and never once while he was working did I hear the dreaded words, "We have a problem". Those words usually mean extra work/and extra expense is involved. Everything went smoothly. His quote was spot on and included all the materials and labor. During our conversation, I learned that he used to build houses back East, has done many years of home remodeling work, and has also done some plumbing work (working for a major plumbing company). Overall, I was very happy with his work and I definitely would hire Mike again. In fact, while he was there, I got some quotes for other projects and will give him a call when I'm ready to proceed.
Description of Work: Created an attic scuttle (attic access hatch) inside my closet. Framed access with 2 x 6 wood joists, finished outside with door trim, and made the hatch door our of a piece of drywall.

A Gem of a Handyman I have used Michael?s services on four occasions. He has always been punctual, professional, and has always completed the job when promised and at the agreed price. He keeps me informed - explaining what's needed whenever I have questions and his experience shows! The first time I called him, I had a plumbing emergency, and he was able to get to my house in less than 45 minutes! My water heater was leaking and even the platform it was standing on had rotted out. Michael built a new platform, installed my new water heater and repaired the damaged drywall behind it. When he was done, everything looked perfect! My new heater is running better than ever thanks to Michael. The second time I called on Michael for help was when my garbage disposal went out. He installed a new disposal in no time and left the area beneath my sink cleaner than it had been before. The third time I called Michael was to have my flat screen TV mounted on the wall. I was expecting him to have to run unsightly power cables on my living room walls, but he was able to make them go through my walls so that the wires were invisible. Last time Michael came over was to have my daughter's room made over while she was away with her grandmother. She had a very intricate "perfect room" idea - involving a plethora of colors and stripes - and she had drawn it out on paper once. Michael checked back with me countless times to make sure the painting job was in line with our expectations, and he sure did impress! He even assembled the furniture as well as doing the shelving. I'll never forget the look of joy upon my daughter's face when she opened her bedroom door for the first time. I have consistently been very happy with his work and you can expect to be as well! I look forward to having him on my side to help finish many other projects around the house.
Description of Work: Hot water replacement, built a new platform, drywall repair.
