My grades are as low as they are for two reasons. First, when anchoring the new fence post he only filled the hole half way with concrete as opposed to bringing the concrete level with the ground to so as not to allow water to pool around the the wooden post. the top 6-8 inches of the hole is filled with dirt which, when saturated with water, will cause the post to deteriorate faster than normal. I now have to either have them come back out to remedy the situation or remove the dirt and file the remainder of the hole with concrete myself. I am leaning toward the latter to ensure the job is done right. The other reason I am less than pleased is that he left chunks of the old concrete scattered under the loose dirt near the fence. I only found this out after my dog wandered from around the side of the house where the fence was replaced with a chunk of old concrete in his mouth. I had to comb through the dirt for more chunks to ensure he does not choke on any. Otherwise the post is sturdy.

Response from Grandma's Handyman Service, Inc.
The member says that the hole for the fence post was only filled half way with concrete. When replacing a fence post, the old concrete needs to be dug out, this causes the hole to become bigger. The hole was 2 feet deep by about 16 inches in diameter. Standard practice calls for the old concrete to be broken up and returned to the hole. A 50 lb. bag of concrete was prepared and poured into the hole. Then the post was installed. The concrete was about 6 inches below ground level. This is acceptable practice. The member says that because the concrete was not above ground level, this would cause the post to deteriorate faster. His original fence post had concrete above ground level and it rotted at the level of the concrete. It makes no difference whether the concrete is below ground level or above ground level. The member states that his dog had concrete in his mouth. Michael got as much of the broken pieces of concrete off the ground as possible. Only small, perhaps one inch in diameter pieces remained. We are sorry that the dog picked a piece up. Michael has many rave reviews in Angie’s List. I am sorry that this member was not pleased. Grandma

They were good. They did the job and it worked. They were very nice and came when they had to. They were efficient and got the job done quickly for the agreed price. They were reasonably priced otherwise we would not have had them do the job. The quality of their service was good.
Description of Work: We used Grandma’s Handyman Service Inc. for doing several little things and one of them was replacing a light in the kitchen. They put a new light fixture in the kitchen. The hose was not shutting properly in the right rear of the house; it was something about a leak around the outside faucet; they fixed this too.

Thank you for your report and kind words about Mike. Our records indicate that he removed drapery/curtain rods from over the patio door and the kitchen window. He then installed new rods. He also patched a hole in the drywall and reinstalled a cabinet drawer front. He worked 2 hours. I hope that the member found all of the work satisfactory and look forward to serving this member again as the need arises. Grandma

cts of what to expect and costs. We received a detailed estimate a few days later we set-up the actual date for the job to be done. Once again Mike was at the front dsoor on time tools in hand. Went to work, and had most everything done that day, only had top come back the next day to finish the wall repairs and primer the areas, he actually went ahead and did a couple of minor repairs we had not discussed. This guy is great, we are very pleased with thye whole experience. Noiw, almost a month later have not foound any reason to complain, Over all experience very good, and yes when I need other contractor service will call Grandma's.
Description of Work: Had called Grandma's Servise to get a ladder into the attic installed and some drywall repairs. Mike showed up on time and ready to go. He did a detailed inspection of the ladder and the opening into the attic as well as the wall issues we needed repaired. Once he was through the evaulation he sat down and we went over all aspects and cost and what to expect. The $35.00 fee is understandable but bothersome. Otherwise no complaints.

Thank you for your review of Grandma's Handyman Service. We are happy that you like the work that was done. Unfortunately, we cannot beat the price of the independent handyman. Our technicians are backed by an office staff, $1M/$2M Liability Insurance, $500,000 Worker's Compensation Insurance and a $25,000 Bond. They have all passed a National Background Check and carry two unlimited company credit cards. Their work is covered by a one year warranty. We do not hire sub-contractors. While the independent handyman is not always available, you can count on Grandma's to be reachable Monday - Friday from 8:00am - 5:00pm. We charge a $35 fee for estimates because we value our technicians' time and expertise. The $35 fee is applied toward the cost of the job upon completion. We look forward to serving you again when your need arises. Jessica for Grandma

This is a great company that I have used a couple times before. I highly recommend them as they are extremely professional, reasonable cost and great commitment to making sure you are getting what you want.
Description of Work: I took on a bathroom remodel on my own, but was uncomfortable in tackling the texturing of the ceilings and walls. Had them come and give me an estimate and discuss their qualifications for the job. They arrived on time for the estimate and were very thorough in talking with me to determine my needs and expected outcomes. Accepted their proposal and the estimate fee counted as part of the project cost. The guy arrived promptly for the job and took care to properly cover stairs and carpet leading to the bathroom. He did a small area of the wall with the texturing and asked for me to evaluate for meeting my needs (which it did). He then proceeded to complete the job within the time and cost of the estimate. After completing, he provided me with tips on how to properly paint the textured ceiling and walls.

The handyman showed up on time. Made a special order for the shutters at a local store. Installed them on the planned date, touched up the paint which was not part of the initial agreement. I was very pleased because I made multiple phone calls to other businesses and no one wanted to take on the small job. The office was very good at keeping me informed throughout the project. I will use them in the future without hesitation

We, at Grandma’s Handyman Service, do our best to give excellent customer service. We were not aware that the caulking repair did not hold for the second time. I talked to the technician who did the work (Mike has received many excellent Angie’s List reviews) and he said that he told the member that the windows were not secure and were loose, which would explain the breaking down of the caulking. However, because of the review, I contacted the member. The member told me that he had to have a different window replaced due to hail damage. The technicians there repaired the caulking job that Grandma’s technicians did. The member says that he thinks they used a different type of caulk and used more of it. The caulk has held for the last two months. In view of that, since Grandma’s Handyman Service, Inc. stands behind the work done by our technicians, I sent the member a refund representing one hour of work. Grandma

Great experience. I will definitely use Grandma for any handyman services I need in the future. She responded to my inquiry promptly, reviewed all of the jobs I needed completed & clearly explained the pricing. Also, she even gave me a brief bio on the handyman that would be performing the service! Defintely a business owner who stands behind their product. Made me feel like I was calling a friend to help me out.
Description of Work: Mostly electrical work..Replaced three existing light fixtures, installed a new wall sconce (box/swtich/wiring), installed a patio door security bar and adjusted a celing light fixture. Anthony was pleasant & personable and although the tasks seemed pretty straight forward, a couple of them presented challenges & he was nothing but easy going through the process.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the job our tech completed for you. The tech who worked for you is very skilled in woodworking. Often times, adjusting existing hardware to make doors match is more difficult than completely replacing the cabinets. We feel certain that Bill adjusted the doors to the best of his ability and hope that the mis-match on the doors is minimal. Our tech completed numerous tasks in a short amount of time as is this company's practice. We will be here in the future should you need us again. Barbara for Grandma

Everything was done wonderfully. When Michael left, he let me know that his work was guaranteed. Within a couple weeks, the toilet paper hanger came undone. I called Grandma and she quickly rescheduled Michael to come out to fix this again. Overall, I've been EXTREMELY pleased with this company!!! Thank you!!!
Description of Work: Michael performed a variety of handyman services: cut down and rehung a couple doors, added an electrical outlet, moved and rehung bathroom light fixture, tested and explained why 2 electrical outlets were not working to my satisfaction, explained by 2 light fixtures couldn't be converted to cans, installed bathroom shelves, replaced toilet wax ring, and reinstalled toilet paper hanger.

I think they are ok, but the payment for an estimate is just wrong, so I am glad their guy quit by email, it shows a lot about what he thought of the company and I do not think I would try them again.
Description of Work: set up estimate, they charge 35.00 for this, was not too pleased about the charge, but they were all I could find that had someone available. Received a phone call the day before the repairs were to be done that the person coming out just sent an email to the owners that they were quitting and she had no one else to send out.

Response from Grandma's Handyman Service, Inc.
This was a very unfortunate incident. I cannot apologize enough for the member's inconvenience. The technician who was scheduled to do this estimate was employed by Grandma’s Handyman Service less than 3 months. Even though we are very careful and take extensive measures to hire qualified technicians, it turned out not to be a good fit. We could have scheduled another technician to do the estimate but not within a short time. We charge for an estimate because our technicians are paid to prepare the estimate and we value their expertise and practical experience. However, the $35 is applied toward the job when we do the work. In this case, no work was done and no charges were assessed. Grandma

Michael was great! The total price seemed reasonable in that it included $42 of materials.
Description of Work: Michael replaced and painted a couple interior door mouldings, then sanded, filled and repainted a front window sill damaged from our dog who has occasional beaver tendencies. He then repaired and added structural reinforcement to the door frame of our back garage door that was damaged by a failed burglary attempt. (Our dog/beaver is now forgiven because we think the burglar reconsidered after seeing and hearing him through the window overlooking that door.)

We began serving this member in May of this year and over a few months, we completed several projects. We are very happy that the member was pleased with Michael’s work. All of Grandma’s technicians are employees of the company as we do not hire subcontractors. All technicians have passed a national background check, are fully insured and bonded, and carry two company credit cards. The last work order for this member did indeed take two weeks to schedule. We have been working on hiring more technicians, however, finding qualified handyman technicians is very difficult. Just remember, we will be here when your needs next arise. Grandma

Great work, long day. Anthony solved many issues, working steadily from one to the next. Very knowledgeable. I also liked my initial call to set up the work. The woman asked detailed questions about each thing I needed done. As a result the tech arrived with all the parts he needed. She also provided information about the tech so that I knew who to expect. Will plan to hire them again.

The scheduling was very easy and the staff very friendly. The handyman, Willis, arrived on time, and was great throughout though the job presented one challenge after the next. First, there wasn't clearance between the toilet and the door so the door wouldn't close. The normal 12" rough-in turned out to actually 12 3/4"in this bathroom. The bathroom is carpeted and removing the tack strip was difficult as was piecing back in small pieces of carpet since the new toilets was differently shaped. It turned out the hose wasn't long enough for the new toilet because the new toilet is taller and since my whole house water shut-off is buried behind a wall, a trip out to get the proper length hose was necessary. All in all, it was a comedy of errors - a job that on the surface seemed very straightforward, but actually had alot of elements that made it difficult. All I can say is, in the end, the bathroom door closes, and I'm still amazed Willis found that 1/32" clearance when we started off at least 3/4" away from being able to close the door. The toilet works perfectly and the carpet around the base of the toilet looks good. It was a difficult job done well.

The first attempt to do some very basic small projects around the house was a disaster. BUT - They made it right immediately and were very concerned about the guy they sent-out to do the work the first time. The second guy who came-out was excellent and clearly knew what he was doing. Good result trying to remedy. Not exactly above and beyond, but they did fix the first guy's terrible work. No price break or refund as a couple of weeks had passed before I notified her of the fiasco (I travel a lot) and I am sure she had already paid her guy so I didn't press it (a new employee and one of several who do this part time apparently). Either way, it was far too expensive given the nature of the work. Certainly won't go that route again based on price. At least the price at the time.
Description of Work: Install shower door, repair small drywall area.

Response from Grandma's Handyman Service, Inc.
Every review of our work is appreciated – good or bad. This makes us work harder to improver our service. We were very sorry that this member did not have a good first experience with Grandma’s. But, as he states, we did send another technician out to correct the work done by the first technician who is no longer with the company. There were several components to this work, for example: when installing a new shower door, all of the old frame and track needs to be removed and the new one installed and newly caulked. There was a repair to a patio door. Drywall needed to be repaired. Most people do not understand what is involved with this type of repair. First, the damage on the wall needs to be cut out to make straight edges. Bracing needs to be placed in the hole, new drywall is cut to fit the hole and is screwed to the bracing and/or studs. The cut edges need to be taped and mudded. Depending on the surface, the entire area may need to be mudded. This mudding is done in layers and sanding is done between each layer. Once the surface is prepared, texturing is done to match the rest of the wall. When all is dry, the surface is primed and painted either by the technician or the home owner. There were two such areas in this member’s home. The job cost the member $627 including materials. There was no charge for the second technician as we stand behind all our work. I believe he received good value. Grandma
