Pocket doors can be quite tricky, but Phil was up for the task. He knew just what to do and fixed it within a reasonable amount of time. The door worked perfectly and smoothly and did not come off the track. He is also very pleasant to talk to. I am glad that I found him on Angie's List. I now know where to go if I need any handyman work again.

Phil is great! Responsive, punctual, talented - he hung a cabinet despite the hole I'd made in the drywall trying to hang it myself. He also ran wiring to hang a new light fixture for less than I'd expected to pay. A pleasure to work with!

In this day and age of indifference PhiIl is a beacon of expertise, professionalism and skill. He was on time and fully prepared for every job we asked him to do. I would not hesitate to call him back for any additional work that I might need to be done. I would recommend him to anybody who is in need of an honest and competent tradesman

We just moved into new offices and there were a bunch of little things we needed done: hanging mirrors, putting up smoke detectors, putting a new knob and lock on one of the doors, putting up door stops, covering holes, drilling holes in some of the furniture, etc. Phil arrived on time and was pleasant when I didn't arrive on time. He just said OK when I would remember I needed him to do something else. He got some good deals on the smoke detectors and came up with alternatives when something I wanted done wouldn't work. He was very professional and pleasant. If we need anything done in the future, I will definitely contact him again.

Phil knows what he is doing and approached every project with enthusiasm. He had to go to Home Depot to get an adapter in order to put in my new faucet for my kitchen sink. Phil has a pleasant personality and is very easy to talk to. I would definitely have him back for more projects.

Phil provides a fantastic service. He is prompt, professional, and extremely customer service oriented. He was very responsive and actually investigated all the repairs to find out the root causes to ensure proper repair. He is also versatile - he completed electrical, plumbing, and other general repairs. He also responded quickly and was able to come out on short notice. Above all, he is a very personable and trustworthy guy. I would highly recommend!

I have used Phil before and appreciate his professionalism and courtesy. I called Phil to schedule the appointment and told him what items were on my list. I had all necessary parts except one. He needed to buy the parts for the drawer repair. He worked efficiently and cleaned each area after he was finished. He tells you his rates up front (I knew what they are from working with him before) and does not waste time. He is great to work with. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: There were a number of jobs that needed to be done: replace sink faucet and handles, towel bars; repair a drawer; replace some blinds; replace shower head.

BUYER BEWARE He spent less than 5 minutes and only tighten up the stem of the hose bib valve which costs me $75.00 I specifically asked for a brand new hose bib ball value with 1/4 turn but he said I didn't need it. But I essentially already paid for a new one since it's costing me 75.00 just for the service but only got a temporary fix to my leaking hose bib valve. It will probably start leaking again and I will be calling someone more responsible who actually does what was requested.
Description of Work: I wanted the provider to replace a 23 year old leaking hose bib with a brand new hose bib but he only tighten up the original stem and charged me $75.00 for less than 5 minutes work. Not very happy with my purchase since I asked for it to be replaced.

Response from Phil Perin
Hello [member name removed] I am sorry you were displeased with the work I provided to you. Your hose bib was leaking because the packing nut needed to be tightened nothing else and it no longer leaks . I went over that with you at the time of service and explained that and the options to you. The replacing of the bib would have been more than the $75.00 min that I charge and that also was discussed with you at the time of the service. If I miss understood what your decision was I apologize and to make it right I'd be happy to replace the hose bib and apply the initial service charge to the job.

Phil is friendly, efficient and knowledgable. He repaired a malfunctioning lock mechanism. He hung an outside door and a heavy wooden gate, cut the holes for the knob, lock and deadbolt and installed all the hardware. He repaired a strip of wood that was separating tile from hardwood floor and he repaired broken tile on our hearth. He is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him.

Something unexpected came up so Phil had to reschedule. He was very apologetic. He arrived on time. I showed him the areas of concern, and he discussed what he would do in each instance. He was able to complete the tasks very quickly and completely. He set up his saw in the garage and left the area completely clean. I also showed him some additional concerns. He made suggestions as to how to fix those areas and we have scheduled another appointment for those to be done. He is very personable and capable. I would definitely recommend his service.

We've used them several times, in fact, the last couple of times I've called them they've been so busy. I had to get somebody else but they does an excellent work. The price is reasonable, it can down when they said it was going to. They finish the job on time and they clean up after themselves. They are not the cheapest.

I appreciate all reviews and take any set back seriously. Unfortunately I have been swamped with calls and requests for my services. Though I appreciate the confidence from my clients I am a one man show and responsible for all aspects of the business. This causes some glitches and sometimes I can't get back to someone or they fall out of the loop. I am sorry that I wasn't able to service you in a reasonable time frame and I hope you'll consider Phix it Phil in the future. Again thanks for the feed back as it helps me to make business better for me and you.

Phil returned my initial phone call within a few hours. He apparently handles calls between or after jobs because while on our job he did not take phone calls, but stayed on task and completed the work without interruption. Phil was congenial, informative, honest, resourceful, worked quickly and efficiently. I believe he really tries to do the best job and in the most cost effective way. For example, he repaired a water leak by tightening the valve when he could have taken it apart, replaced washers or replaced the valve, all of which would have cost more in parts and labor. I will call Phil in the future if I need help and have already recommended him to friends.
Description of Work: Phil completed several different tasks including plumbing, resurfacing a wall, fencing and electrical.

The headboard of the bed in my guest room was horribly tilted after having guests and I discovered that the brackets holding the side rails to the headboard were partially torn out. Sent pictures to Phil via email - he suggested that I contact the manufacturer to see if I could get the same brackets. I did and then he came to repair. Upon his repair he saw evidence that the brackets had been in one place originally and then moved (hard to explain but the bed had been assembled improperly which is what cause the problem). Anyhow - he did the best fix that he could - probably would hold but while he was there I had him talk to the company and explain the problem. I also sent pictures to the company. And the company again followed up with Phil to get a better understanding. After talking with Phil the company is sending new sideboards and have agreed to pay for Phil to install to make sure the bed is assembled correctly this time. The actually "job" of using a drill to install the brackets is very simple (I just don't have the tools and would rather make sure it is done correctly) and even when he comes back it will only be another short job where he charges his minimum of $75. I am sure not his favorite type of job. BUT he is a CHAMP - I still can't believe he was willing to interface with the manufacturer - and the result is I am getting a better fix to the problem. I found him on Angie's list and he came to look at a potential job which I ended up not doing (he honestly told me it wasn't worth the cost). He was helpful that time and explained things well and gave me an honest assessment. Both times it took about a day for him to initially get back to me after I left him a phone message - he admits that he is really busy - an obvious testament to his good work. He does get back to you though he was on time for both appointments. I 100% recommend him.
