He doesn't return my many calls which makes me very mad after all these years of service. Other clients that I know are also angry that he does not return their calls as well.
Description of Work: Me and my family have hired Chris for near 12 years and he had been an excellent handyman for me and my family. When he lost his regular job I supported him in starting his handyman service. He has now become so busy that he does not return my many (8) phone calls as I need his service now. He then provided a name of someone to take his place an he showed up smelling of alcohol and drunk dirty This is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional! I am now looking for a new handyman through Angies List but not sure how to proceed. Please help NOW!

Chris did a fantastic job! Start to finish Chris did a very professional job at a very reasonable price - We had several little projects, with one leading to another and he was punctual, communicative, on schedule and all at a price that was reasonable and actually less than anticipated. He had good input and advice and good quality of work. I would highly recommend Chris for any general handyman work that someone might need!

Please see above. He didn't show.
Description of Work: I called this provider to make an appointment for a couple of different needed repairs--the most pressing is for a repair of a door I have between the mud room and garage. It is not at all usable because the hinging mechanism has come loose from the door frame. Anyhow, he told me it would be at least 3 weeks. I didn't really want to wait that long but a couple of the other highly rated handymen had waits up to 3 months so I decided to just be patient. We made the appointment for Sept 24th at 9am as it was my only day off from work over an 8 day stretch. He confirmed that he could do the work. I told him I had several other items that needed attention and that this door was the most pressing issue. He said he would call me the night prior to confirm which he did not. Then that morning I waited until 9:15a and called him. When I reached him he told me that he thought it was for that evening (9 at night???? for repairing a door) and that he thought it was just a bid and then that he lost his planner/datebook. So I waited more than three weeks and I still don't have anyone to fix the door and do some other jobs around the house. Seems like there is a good business opportunity out there for reliable handymen--clearly in short supply.
They quoted a little over $800, which was slightly more expensive than the company I went with. I think they didn’t do that careful a job of measuring the door or the ramp. So there were more possibilities of them running into problems that they hadn’t anticipated.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Chris's Handyman Services for widening the doorway, building a wheelchair ramp, patching some wall plasters and for repairing the gutters.

Chris did a great job. We appreciated his honesty about the true cause of our issues. For example, the house fan simply had some debris caught in the fan. Another handyman may have exaggerated the problem to get more money from the repair. Chris did not. After Chris left we realized we had another leak under the sink. Chris returned to our house to repair the additional leak at no extra charge. We will definitely use Chris again.
Description of Work: Chris did a handful of improvements around the house including fixing a leak under the sink, fixed house fan, fixed two closet doors, insulated pipe, repaired can light.

See above. Chris was great!
Description of Work: Chris installed a fireplace mantel and assembled a 15 foot trampoline with net for us. The fireplace mantel was challenging due to the river rock being unlevel, and Chris was solutions oriented and figured out a way to mount it exactly the way my wife wanted with no corbels. It was a chilly 40 degree day to work outside, and Chris assembled the trampoline perfectly. I even heard from my son that Chris tested it by doing a back flip! My kids have been enjoying it all weekend. We definitely will use Chris again, as he was great!

He had to come back because we weren't happy the first time. I like that they ultimately got it right. I am pretty happy with how it looks now. It was some tile work and a door, a sliding door at a walkout basement level. The first time they repaired it they did a crazy job on it. It sat too high. We had them come back and fix it.

We hired Chris to install the baseboard trim on our main floor. Wood flooring had been installed, but we never put the trim back. Chris was professional, on time, and very reasonable in price. He also installed new flush valves for 4 toilets and put up some crown moulding for a bookcase. He finished the work over 3 days time, which was fine with our schedule. He did a great job, and we are looking forward to our new project with him.

Chris is a true, one of a kind handyman. They don't make them like this anymore! He's incredibly great at responding to calls (got back to me in less than an hour), was proactive in setting a date to do the repairs, was on time, worked with me to get my input on exactly how I wanted the work completed (it was a bunk bed situation that can be set up in more than one way), and was very respectful and kind. THIS is the kind of handyman that was around about 30 years ago! Cannot say enough about this guy. I left messages for a couple of other handymen on Angie's List and either didn't get a call back or received a call back three days after I called. Chris is amazing and we've already got a list of other things needed to be done around the house for Chris. He can do it all! We've got some electrical, plumbing, and paiting work for him to do in the future when our budget allows; and there is no doubt in my mind that Chris will be the guy we call every time!
Description of Work: Put our triplet bunkbed back together, after we had taken them apart to use as individual beds, and repair towel bar issues in a bathroom.

The quality of the work was very professional at a competitive price.
Description of Work: The wooden front porch steps on my home were rotted and needed to be replaced. Chris stopped by an gave me an acceptable estimate. He scheduled a day and time to do the work. All of the work was completed timely in a very professional manner. I would certainly recommend Chris for any similar work and I would not hesitate to hire him again..

I called Chris in a panic because my kitchen sind faucet had developed a huge leak. It was early in the week and he was able to come to me and install a new faucet. He arrived on time and went immediately into aceesing the job and any damage. He encountered a big problem which was the Hot Water Shut Off valve had to be replaced. He was able to get to the hardware store in my neighborhood to find the correct replacement part. I live in a condominium and had to arrange for someone to shut the water off. He was able to fix the problem quickly. He then was able to work on installing the new faucet. He was fast and I was back in service again. I would recomment his man because he listens and did not mind me asking a ton of questions. I also have two pesky rescue dogs who love to bark constantly. He has a lot of patience. The job was well done.

Went very well. Finishing the basement was a big job and did it well. He cleans up after himself and leaves things clean and put away. We were very happy with his work and his price. Will use his services again.

He always tries to save us money when possible and he is so dependable. Calls us when he says he will and always shows up when he says he will. Friendly, and he listens to what we have in mind for our projects. We have recommended him to others several times and have never regretted it.

As part of a bigger remodeling project, we were replacing the sills/thresholds on the 3 sliders in the sunroom. When the old sills were removed, we discovered that there had been some water leakage. The old foam was the wrong kind, and there was not a good seal. We were in a hurry, because the contractor who was replacing the sills was waiting. So I called Chris. Chris came out right away, and got the job done in just over an hour. He knew exactly what needed to be done, he had the materials and the skill, and got right to work. Chris was careful with my cat and the newly finished hardwood floors, and he cleaned up after the job perfectly. I'm very pleased, and will definitely use him again for all handyman work!
Description of Work: Removed old foam insulation and applied new insulation and caulk around 3 sliding glass doors.

The job went very well and the owner Chris did a great job. Chris was on time, explained clearly what needed to be done, did a good job, was flexible about a trip to get more materials, added extra supports were needed and overall did a great job. His clean up was good as well. In addition to the fence work, he fixed a bolt on our fence gate that was in need of repair which was a great help to us as well. We hope to use his services again in the near future and hopefully on a regular basis as we always have things that need repaired or replaced on this old house. We would definitely recommend Chris to our friends and family.
Description of Work: Exterior 6 foot- Privacy Fence Post Repairs. Removed old concrete forms, set new forms, 4 new posts and repaired or replaced damaged sections and/or missing slats from wind damage. Job took approx 7 hours with trip to obtain additional materials.

Was great to work with. Will definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: Chris is always prompt and helpful. We just moved to a new home and needed little things done. He did odd jobs around the house, like putting up towel bars, tp holders, changed all the door knobs, and even moved my GDO bell to a new location. He's great and I am never disappointed in the work he's done for me. He also works w/a contractor at times for bigger jobs. He's always concerned about the time factor and can get a lot of work done per hour.
