The gentlemen that came out was very nice and pleasant. He was professional except I had asked for a followup bid on another project and I didn't receive one so didn't follow through.
Description of Work: I used Mr. Handyman from West Los Angeles to replace a window. This was a couple of years ago. The job turned out to be more difficult than originally thought.

Robert came and matched the existing tile and sealed the large seam with tile so it looks just like it should have looked originally. The tile had to be cut since the seam was less than the tile size. It looks great.
Description of Work: Shower had large seam where the water could cause mold or rot and needed to be sealed to prevent damage. The seam was larger than grout could span. It had been covered by the previous owner with material that was not water proof and was falling out.

They were able to schedule me quickly and give me a two-hour arrival time window with a phone call prior to arrival. Their labor rates seem very high ($169 for the 1st hr + $110 for each additional hr) although I suppose they know the market better than I do. We didn't know the part would need to be replaced before he took the window apart and I acted as an assistant which I think probably saved a bit on labor as he could move a bit faster. However, he did have to go to the local hardware store to get a new window sash balance. Fortunately they had the part in stock. He installed the balance, put the window back together and caulked so it looked like it hadn't been touched. It was lucky that the window trim was painted white already otherwise it would have needed repainting. The tech was very nice but my problem was when he presented his bill he told me the part was $72. I told him that seemed really expensive but he didn't offer to show the receipt and didn't tell me that Mr. Handyman charges a 15% markup (which is fine with me). I planned to fix another window now that I learned how to do it so I checked with the hardware store and found that the part actually only cost around $35. The tech had overcharged me for parts so I called the dispatcher to let them know I was unhappy about that and all she offered were excuses about how the tech might have had a problem with his clipboard calculator or somehow got confused. I told her I had mentioned that the part seemed too expensive and that no receipt was offered. All she offered was to review the receipt the tech turned in and refund me anything due. They did credit me back the difference (about $35) but being in business myself I would have expected a more sincere apology, no excuses and some sort of discount. Overall, however, the job was done right and I would use them again but I'd definitely keep an eye on the time and review the receipts for any parts.

Again, they were very professional. Punctual. Friendly. And even their office, Sharon, called me to see how it went the following Monday. Service was done on a Saturday. Will use them again if I do choose to replace lock, as they suggested needed.
Description of Work: Door lock was jammed. Came to have them see what the problem exactly was and what could be done. They came & fixed the problem. However, after leaving, unfortunately, the door lock was too loose & wouldn't "lock" upon & could open any time. Called them back and the handyman, Robert, came back within 20 min. Very punctual, professional & friendly. Will use them again if I do choose to replace lock, as they suggested needed.

Before coming, when we were discussing the job on the phone, Sharon the scheduler, suggested that to save money, I could purchase the supplies in advance ... and she told us what I should get. This was great because it saved us on-the-clock time when the handyman arrived. He set up a small woodworking station in our garage and did the measurements, cut the door to size, and installed it in less than 3 hours. It looks great and i was very pleased. I will definitely use them again.

Handyman arrive on time with an idea of what I wanted, let me show him the closet and the abandoned light switch I wanted to use for a light in the closet. He and I poked around in the attic for a route for the wiring and found none. He located the studs and figured a way to route the wired around them with only one hole, which he filled, installed the fixture, snake the wire, connected the switch, tested it and was done. And gave me the bill. Same for next fixtures and wiring in the garage
Description of Work: I have used them for a number of things that I could have done, but would not have produced professional results and would have spent much more time doing than it was worth. They have installed a light in a closet and in the garage and installed some tv siring behind wall. EAch time the handyman arrived exactly on time, put on his booties to prevent tracking direct , solved the problem at hand (in one case it was pretty hard to figure out how to snake the wiring), did the job professionally, cleaned up perfectly and gave me a discount coupon for the net job (excellent customer retention). Each person who came to the house and been a contractor or carpenter previously and had been laid off or lost their business, so this is a fall back job for them, but it means they are very experienced. Handyman is the top of the line in quality and in cost. , They are very expensive, but you know they get it done right, on time and guaranteed. You can do it cheaper, but not with the same confidence.

Briefly, we called, described the problem to Sharon, and she replied with an estimate that answered all our questions.But we feel the estimate is WAY too high.
Description of Work: Our concern is purely with the prices given us in the estimate. We spoke to a very helpful and pleasant lady on the phone, described what our issue was, and were promised that they would submit an estimate promptly. They certainly did, within hours, and the estimate that they provided us with was in the range of $3,000 - which we thought was OUTRAGEOUSLY high to replace a shower pan and retile a shower. Other contractors are offering to do the same project in the $1,000 - $2,000 range. I would recommend that anyone considering using their service shop around before selecting them. On the other hand, I did appreciate Sharon's courtesy, and the thoroughness of their emailed estimate.Some contractors even refused to give us an estimate over the phone without first seeing the area, so Sharon and her people were very cooperative in giving us both the phone estimate and the promptly emailed version.

I contacted Mr. Handyman of West LA, having had an excellent experience with this company 4 years ago. David listened patiently as I explained what I needed and set up an appointment for me for early the next week. He called back later to confirm the time of the appointment. Glen came on time, assessed what needed to be done, discussed the options for accomplishing the tasks at hand, and gave me a time range for completing the work. The work was completed exactly when Glen said it would and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. The 2 holes in the interior garage wall were meticulously repaired and the crawlspace vent screens and soffitt vent screen look great (had been previously repaired incorrectly with massive amounts of spray foam). Glen cleaned up all the debris, and he was friendly and professional as well. Mr. Handyman may cost a bit more than other companies, but they are worth every penny because the job is done right the 1st time.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 crawlspace vent screens and 1 soffitt vent screen. Repaired 2 holes in the interior garage wall behind the washer/dryer.

They were good, thorough and professional. What was great was that it was a time sensitive matter and after weeks they came in and it was really nice. They are flexible and are willing to work with your schedule. Price wise I don't know if they are high or low. They were willing to get in there and fix it.

We got a coupon in the mail for 4 hours for $200 and we spend $200. The job went very well and we were very impressed with them. We liked that he came prepared to work and we told him that we would need white grout and caulk and he brought it with him. He had the right equipment, the right tools and he just worked very well and very hard for 4 hours.

They did a good job. They were available almost right away, which I appreciated, but they had to do it in two trips and charged me a service fee for both. There was also a fair amount of paying for time to fix damage done by the handyman. Overall, I'd say they are pretty good and convenient, but expensive.
Description of Work: They put in an overhead light, put in some medicine cabinets, unstuck a couple doors, did some minor electrical work, mounted bookshelves to the wall, added a shelf in a closet, hung a giant framed picture.

The next day passed with no estimate, no phone call. I called the office the second day, spoke with Rebecca, who said I would definitely have an estimate by that afternoon. Still nothing. Day #3, I called Rebecca again, lost my temper. The owner, Dave, called back hours later, I spelled out my frustration at never hearing back from them. The upshot was that he declined to provide any services because he "could tell there was not going to be any way to please me". At this point, it was too late to locate another contractor to meet my deadline. Dave did refund the $59 a week later. Ihad called Mr. Handyman solely because of the rave reviews on Angie's List - I am now very skeptical of Angie and her member recommendations, it's hard to believe they were talking about the same outfit I dealt with. I don't plan to use Angie's List again, a very disappointing experience in every way
Description of Work: It started out great. Emille came out promptly on day #1, did a walk-through to see what I wanted. I made it clear I wanted a quick turnaround. Emille asked for $59 for his time, said I would have an estimate the next day (day #2)

I was able to get an estimate for the work over the phone. Then we made an appointment but had to reschedule three times because of the rain. They were very professional on the phone. The gentelman who did the work was on time and explained the process in detail before he began. The work was done on time and he left the extra supplies with me because they had been included in my bill. I was informed I could have saved money if I had provided the materials which is good to know for next time. I am happy with the way the stairs look and I think the non-slip adhesive was a good investment.

Quick response on a Holiday weekend! Realized job was more than than they could handle/complete so recommended reliable Glass Company who worked as their sub contractor to complete the job. Gave me the cost estimates & stayed within those parameters with no surprise added costs. When all was done by glass company they handled the billing in a timely manner & was very easy to complete the process. Very professional, personable, upfront & helpful in every phase of the project. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again when the situation presents itself.

The first guy was 3 hours late, but they did keep me updated on his ETA. The guy had no idea what the problem was and diagnosed 'major electrical problems!' They had to call in another guy, two hours later. He spent 30 seconds looking at the panel, w.eant to the local hardware store for a new breaker and put it in. We should have called a regular electrician -- would have been cheaper and much faster.

They are very nice and did their best to get us a quote. They may be a little bit expensive. They have an hourly rate, they charge you for the first hour then charge you for every half hour at an increased rate. They seemed nice enough and I may use them for something else in the future. They are very responsive and follow up very nicely.
