Grandma's Handyman Service, Inc.

The project changed so I went with a different company. They were fine. I was just a little disappointed because it was a $35 estimate and everybody else I contacted gave a free estimate. I eventually went with one of them. Mike was very good. He was efficient. It took about a week to get an appointment for an estimate. I would consider using them for some smaller projects.

We had a sticking glass door. No one wanted to help us because of the type of door and hinges.It wasn't a new install and only a repair. Only Grandma came through.

The ceiling panel is approx. 2' x 2.5'. It is an opaque plastic panel mounted in a metal frame. The original piece of plastic had a small hole & darkened area from the light bulb that sits directly above it. The repairman was able to use the same frame; he mounted a new plastic panel in the frame and fit it back into the ceiling opening. It actually looks better than the original now!

EXCELLENT! Michael Quinn was on time, very efficient, done in the time quoted, and did excellent work.

The flight of stairs in my home presented me with a safety hazard at the top of the stairs. My first choice was to purchase a pre-made gate. After Grandma and I discussed the gate and looked at pictures it was decided that a custom built gate would better serve my needs. I appreciated that Grandma listened carefully to my concerns and along with Mike, the technician, came-up with a design for my gate. It took a week or two to make the gate and it was well worth the wait. The gate met all my expectations and it looks great. Before Mike completed the installation of the gate, I asked if my window screens could be replaced. He agreed to do the work, purchased the supplies, and installed them on the spot. Again I was so pleased with their work. I look forward to working with this company on other projects and recommend their service.

I called grandma and told her of my plumbing problems. She informed me of the possibilities that could cause such a problem and said because of the situation I would need a certified plumber and gave me a reference. I have to say I appreciate being steered in the right direction when I come into a problem like this. I can also appreciate someone who tells you they aren't the one for the job instead of just running up a bill and doing a bad job. Will call again.

The gentleman did some replacement work for me on the garage door -- he was very personable and good. This was a few months ago and I don't remember the exact cost (but was reasonable).

Went great; Grandma's phone people were great; very good about getting all the details and guesstimating the time and costs needed and what to do ahead of time to prep. Only unfortunate thing was that they were SUPER booked, so had to wait almost a month and 1/2 to get our 2-day job scheduled. However, once Michael came to do the work, it was all worth it! Showed up on time, was super nice and accommodating, good communicator, cleaned up after himself, and just generally so pleasant to be around. Did a terrific job and really worked hard the whole time he was here; no sitting around, dawdling, etc. Explained and discussed everything and we were so pleased! Grandma's hourly rates are a bit high for our tastes, but if you take into account all the b.s. you usually have to deal with with contractors, we think it might be worth it. Will go back and use them again if we don't have another dependable and good contractor that costs less. We totally get one reason why they're probably higher is because they're a company who has to pay employees, rather than a "one-man job" type operation. With the established company route, you get someone to deal with if there were problems, and someone for the employees to be accountable to, rather than just doing whatever they want and not showing, doing sloppy work, etc. Would absolutely recommend Grandma's and Michael.

Michael Pitts was professional & friendly. He did a great job.

The customer service was excellent. I have tenants in the home so I don't see what is going on at property on a day to day basis. The handywoman that came out called me to let me know there are other issues happening with the bathroom that need to be addressed first. She will return to her office to create an estimate (with the initial offer they gave) and just hold until we address primary issues. I have had a lot of contractors/service providers come in and do cosmetic work only to learn there were other problems later which has been a waste of time and money. It is refreshing to know that service still exists and it exists at Grandma's. Thank you to Shelly.

he was good and punctual and did what he was supposed to do.

I was extremely disappointed in this service as they were scheduled to come out and do work. They came out so late that they basically said they were only out to do an estimate and did not even end up completing the work they were supposed to do. In addition, the handyman smelled like a brewery when he showed up. Due to both circumstances, I did not trust them to do the work needed.

I had hired them to do a few projects around the house that needed to be completed. I had trouble the work being performed, he was extremely slow, he was doing things I didn't ask him too, cleaning the wrong pipes, kept adding to the cost which was more than originally discussed and grandma was so mean and hateful. I was yelled at multiple times by her and I would never use them again.

I was a drywall finisher a long time ago. My boss would have fired me with sunken seams and texture that did not even come close to matching the rest of the ceiling. Probably will have to hire a real professional to finish.

Barry was great, he showed up on time and got right to work. He worked very efficiently and was done in no time. He didn't require much instructions, and moved from one task to the next very quickly. The exterior lights look great, and we've gotten a lot of compliments. I definitely would plan to use this service again in the future.

Wall repair excellent. Kitchen mod good.

She was above and beyond helpful; she was amazing. I didn’t know if they would be able to help us. So I took a picture of it and emailed it to her. She kind of talked me through the process like how much they would charge and how much it would cost if I did it myself. She let me make the choice which was a very honest and I appreciated that a lot. She helped me understand what I need to do to fix my problem. She offered me both options to do it myself as well as a very reasonable quote from their company.

The Handyman was very nice and I liked him a great deal hence I am reluctant to even write this review. I found the cost totally out of proportion to the work done. I will not be using this service again.

An older man came, and he was just a really nice person. He did a really nice job! He was very professional and very nice! His service price was really inexpensive.

The provider was extremely professional. He completed all the tasks I needed efficiently and cleaned up after himself. Safety was my biggest concern, and I believe his installations will provide that for me for as long as I live here.

We actually went and bought the tiles ourselves, but he measured, told us what we needed, and recommended a good place to buy it. We went and purchased that. Then he did all the installation. He brought in the different colors of caulk and grout, and we picked that. The project looks great. I think he was rushing at the end so he did not have to charge me another day. It got a little sloppy towards the very end, but we are still planning to call him back and bring him in to do other stuff. Honestly, I kind of wanted him to be done because he has been in my house for a couple of weeks, and I just wanted my bathroom back. When he washed the caulk off his hands, I had to get a tool to scrape off the caulk at the bottom of the sink. I am sure if I had said something, he would have cleaned it up. He was very nice and very professional. That was a messy job because of cutting the tile and all that so there were quite a bit of dust everywhere, but he did everything he could to keep that from going into the other parts of the house. I would give his cleaning like an 8 out of 10. He did wipe it out, but it was not spotless. I still had to go in and clean up everything. I think it is probably pretty common. He is not going to clean my bathroom.

Everything was great. I really like them. They're really like a smart husband that can do anything. If there's any other trouble they ran into, they always seem to be able to fix it. They were just great. They're the only people I would call if I needed someone, they're very professional. They come out, they're on time, polite, they wear shoe covers. I love them. They really train their people good. They ask you things so they know if they need to send someone with electrician ability or plumbing ability. They get a good list and they want to get a good fit for you.

The provider did NOTHING! They called 45 minutes before the appointment to say they would not be able to make it. Very Unprofessional. We took the afternoon off for this! Then they say they cant schedule the service until 25 June. Any company who cant keep their promise on the first appointment is very unprofessional. This was my first experience on Angie's list and so far this is disappointing. If I wanted poor service and broken promises I could just use craigslist.

The gentleman from the company arrived promptly at 8am and got straight to work. He was efficient and thorough. The work was all done professionally and for a price that really can't be beat. I plan to hire them again in the near future to change out light fixtures throughout my main level and to do some drywall/plaster repair after I have my new patio door installed. Use this company. You will not be disappointed.

Although provider said he had experience with sump pumps, he arrived with no light (working in deep hole under basement floor), no tools and no materials. He "borrowed" these from me. When he could not get the new pump to function, he asked me for wire and duct tape to secure the pump. He activated the pump manually and called the job done. After a couple of days, I could see the pump was not operating automatically. I did a little research and found that the float needed adjustment. I pulled the pump, made the adjustment, and it works fine now. (And I got rid of the wire and duct tape.) The good news is that I will know how to do the job myself in the future.
