We found them to be very expensive and the gentleman that came out was fine but not worth what we spent for the time that he was there.
Description of Work: We used them for a couple of hours for handyman services.

Response from Mr. Handyman Serving South Bay
We serviced this customer on October 20, 2009, which is coincidentally an exact year prior to the date feedback was left. I don't know why the report shows the work date as February 1, 2010. We're sorry if the visit didn't merit all A's. We focus on small jobs, offer real appointments, and want customers to be happy every time.

They were interested in the response and I would certainly go with them again.
Description of Work: I had them come to fix some sliding doors that I was not able to fix. One of the doors came off the track and that was upsetting. They called to follow up and I told them what happened and they sent someone out to fix the door.

We had seen similar ceiling renovation offered in Orange and San Diego Counties but not available in Los Angeles County. I contacted Mr Handyman with sketch of desired renovation (selected based on prior Angie List ratings and ability to provide electrical and general construction skills). Based on sketch and telecom discussion an estimate was provided, work was scheduled and performed to my full satisfaction.

They were very good. They did a thorough job. I spent an hour on the job. They were on time. They did what they said they would do. They stood behind their work. They were a little expensive, but I didn?t have to call them once they were through with the job. It was definitely worth the price I paid. I trust the men that came out to do the work. I will definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Mr. Handyman International. They put in a toilet for me, a couple of years ago.

The work was fine and they did a good job. They are very prompt and are usually early. They completed the work in a timely manner and they were very neat. They allowed me to purchase my own supplies, which I appreciated. They were willing to explain what they were doing and why. They try very hard to run a good business and make their customers happy, and I would use them again.
Description of Work: They have done work on at least two different apartment units for me.

Handyman arrived at least 15 minutes early and was waiting when I arrived. I provided parts by my choice. all requested repairs were made. If there were choices to be made with respect to such repairs, the choices were provided by the handyman in sufficient detail to make good decisions. All questions were met with good explanations. Repairs were made in an orderly fashion so as not to waste time. Handyman was very professional and was polite, knowledgeable and most importantly NOT condescending (I am female and sometimes repairmen assume I am stupid or incapable of understanding why they are making repairs). I would hire this contractor again.
Description of Work: Services performed were changes to locks, minor wall repairs, and a series of general minor repairs such as putting closet back on rollers/track, replacing towel rack and hook. Work was performed in a timely manner and was professionally done. I would hire this contractor again, and will probably need to very shortly.

I called to make an appointment for the work and was able to schedule the work quickly. I told Mr. Reily I had a few projects and he said he would send the appropriate person. He gave me clear information on how long the job would take and the cost involved. Matt, the handyman, was right on time with all the supplies and tools needed for the job. He used the drywall pieces that has been removed from the walls and ceilings and using wood strips to back them and then reattached the drywall to the studs. He then used draywall compound to smooth the surface. Once dried and sanded he put on a finish coat of compound then did a finish sanding and painting. He was extremely efficient and professional and left my place spotless. I would definately use him again for any other repair jobs I have.
Description of Work: Matt repaired 8 drywall sections that had holes cut in them to run electical line. He patched the holes, skim coated and sanded the finished drywall repairs and then repainted the sections. He also fixed a closet door that scraped the floor and recaulked the crown molding through out my entire condo.

Went fine for the money spent. The key is to have your list of tasks ready so he can move quickly from one task to another in the time frame you have specified. Good job Steven! And Ed was great to proactively call me and tell me Steven was on the way to my place ...Very professional attitude in the booking and confirmation of the appointment....I was impressed- a first time user of Mr. Handyman. Would definately recommend this company to anyone needing handyman services- and have already done so. Keep up the good work Ed and handyman Steven P. !
Description of Work: Steven arrived and could not do the installation of the electrical plug because I did not have the proper wiring installed. He gave me detailed instructions on what I had to tell the electricain to do. Then we reviewed the list to see other tasks he could complete for me: cleaning bathroom fixtures to look more presentable in 2 bathrooms and repairing the hinge on a cabinet door I had to latch shut for 13 years, applying caulking to bathroom floor, fixed an out of commission toilet.

They are extremely reliable and complete everything on time, promptly. They are very helpful in giving the homeowner different choices for ways to go about solving the problem. They are clean and take care to cover floors and areas around where they are working. They clean up and take everything with them when they are done, leaving things in good shape.
Description of Work: They did a number of different jobs throughout the house - they installed dimmer switches for the ceiling lights in our living room, they re-caulked around the sinks in our kitchen and bathroom, repaired some drywall that had been damaged due to a water leak in our pipes and repainted this area.

They did a very good job. It did turn out to be a lot more expensive then I planned though. It took two men all day to do the job. The next day, one of them John, came back out to finish the work. He was really great. After they had it all put together, it wasn't quite plumb. I called them back and the fixed it immediatily, free of charge.
Description of Work: They put together a wall bed that was supposed to be something you could put together yourself.

Professional from the office calls to the work completed. This was largely a job to repair what another no-so-handy-man attempted to repair in my home. I am so relieved to have found Mr. Handyman. I thought the work was going to take much longer than it did. Tarino, our handyman, was easy to have in my home with my two small children. He was so knowledgeable, professional, careful, and fast! He also had very helpful suggestions. I will definitely use Mr. Handyman any time I am in need of a handyman!
Description of Work: He hung curtains, repaired our tub faucet,fixed a running toilet, repaired outdoor lights, put weather stripping on our doors, fixed our doorbell, replaced our "hot water on demand" unit, tightened both kitchen faucets, and installed 2 locks on our outdoor gates.

I was initially dissatisfied with both the quality of the work and the fact that mostly the small tasks were completed even though the worker was at my house for nine hours. However, when I called the owner, Ed Reilly, to explain my dissatisfaction he responded immediately. He came out with his top handyman, Joe, looked at the prior work, and agreed to correct it. They pointed out that most of the tasks not accomplished would require significant work or a specialist, e.g., a specialist to replace or fix the front door, replacing the gates rather than repairing them, etc. Touch-up painting wasn't done because I bought the wrong color and chose not to have the handyman come back another day.
Description of Work: I started with a list of 18 tasks, a few large, but most were small, re-setting cabinet doors, replacing batteries in smoke detectors, changing the heater filter, re-seating the ice maker, etc. There were also some larger tasks such as power washing the deck, re-gluing two sliding mirror doors, fixing two sagging gates, etc. Based on prior experiences with friends and family members, I thought most could be accomplished within an eight-hour period and the handyman did not disagree when I showed him the tasks to be done.
