I am getting ready to call them again actually and I wished I could give them an A+. They area little expensive, but they are worth it because the work they do is above average.
Description of Work: They were terrific. I had them do a little bit everything for me. One handyman was able to do the work for me. I cannot say enough good things about them.

The second time he fixed 4 vents that needed to be changed out from one style to the other and installed those.
Description of Work: We have used them twice and the same handyman came out both times. They came by and did good work. They put up curtain rods one time and they also fixed something else too.

Bob, the carpenter, did a great job. He was very particular about doing the work right and was even willing to make an extra trip back to fix a small detail that we had missed. Everyone I interacted with at the office was also very professional and helpful. Lauren handled the scheduling and was easy to get in touch with. I was disappointed that Mr. Handyman couldn't take care of everything I wanted to get done at my house but Lauren gave me great recommendations for an electrician and painters. I would definitely use Mr. Handyman again in the future.

I have mixed feelings about Mr. Handyman of Fairfield. I hired them twice last year. The first time, a very nice and skilled gentleman came over and replaced two ceiling fans, fixed a hole in the drywall, did some demo in the basement and put up some outside lights. He was terrific, everything was splendid. Later in the fall I called them again. I wanted an electrician to replace my thermostat with a digital one. He was sweet but had no clue what he was doing. After several hours of wasting our time he said he couldn't install the digital thermostat due to an issue with our boiler wiring and we had to run to the store and get a new manual thermostat because he tossed the old one. Installed the 2nd one horribly with no face plate and charged us for an entire day for a job that should have taken an hour! I had to call my boiler company who sent someone to fix the mess he made. When I called Mr. Handyman I was told I would be contacted about a possible refund. Still waiting. Never again!

At the onset of our relationship in the fall 2013, we were enthusiastic about the work we contracted with Mr. Handyman especially because both parties appeared to appreciate the necessary updates that a 220 year old house requires. Working with Bob was a joy. He replied to all our questions and concerns in a timely manner. Unfortunately, Lorenzo was in charge of our account. To our regret, neither Lorenzo nor Michelle returned our numerous phone calls and e-mails. We found both Lorenzo's and Michelle's lack of communication unprofessional, frustrating, and disheartening; clearly, they are not an asset to Mr. Handyman. Needless to say, the communication on Handyman's side ceased to exist. In the summer of 2014, we reached out to Gulick hoping that they could solve our problem with Mr. Handyman. To our surprise, Gulick told us that they, too, could not get a returned phone call from Mr. Handyman. After two weeks, Gulick told us that Mr. Handyman was no longer interested in completing our job and referred us to another company. Quite frankly, we were shocked. Our communication with Mr. Handyman was polite and consistent and all work to date was paid in full at time of completed service. Please note, $8,000 worth of work remained incomplete. Fortunately, we contracted with Mr. Handyman's competitor who came out on Wednesday, reviewed the work, answered our questions and concerns, quoted the job, and today we signed and paid them for over $9,000 worth of work starting later this month. We could not be happier. Unfortunately due to the lack of completion for our work we never received our Home Energy Rebates In closing, we will never recommend Mr. Handyman.

Response from Mr. Handyman of Upper Fairfield County
We definitely dropped the ball for this member! No customer should ever feel ignored, especially not by the head of our home performance practice. Last year Lorenzo was able to personally estimate and supervise every home performance project. We developed enduring relationships with customers and their homes. However, due to explosive growth and demands for our expertise, Lorenzo’s role changed. During the transition we failed to properly delegate responsibility for this member’s project. Nor did we notify her that we lacked the bandwidth to quickly respond her numerous requests for additional information. We apologize to this member for the frustration and inconvenience she endured. We have since added resources and updated our project management processes in order to handle the growing demand for our services. We will continue to improve our home performance services delivery.

The call center at Mr. Handyman was courteous and very responsive. The location where the siding had to be fixed required the power company to shut off power to the house. So I had to accomodate the times of the power company which needed 5 business days notice and Mr. Handyman. I was quickly able to set up an appointment with an estimate that was 2 times less than what I received from another company. The individual working on the project took less than 2 hours and I was out of power for a much shorter period than I anticipated on a hot July day. It was a simple job that other contractors made out to be complicated. Maybe Mr. Handyman made it look easy. Either way, I was happy with the work done and the courteous follow ups I received leading up to the appointment. It was a pleasure doing business with the company and I would use them again for future household repairs.

Wonderful electrician here now, had to redo a thermostat that handy did, it flashed at him. The very scary world of home improvement has been brought to you by me. Oops almost forgot, was told it was expense for them. As we all know, my time is not valuable. Actually best part was no charge.
Description of Work: Actually 2 episodes, first guy turned off my power and it wouldn't come back until he called CL&P The 2nd. Episode ta ta. Drum roll please. Refused to do work even though nature of it was discussed in advance. This was to redeem them, didn't work.

We've apologized to the member for this unfortunate situation. We should have asked whether or not we would be dealing with 220v before making the first appointment. Had we known this, we could have avoided wasting everybody's time by referring her to a licensed electrician. Mistakes do happen, even though we do our best avoid and correct them.

The person I spoke with was very friendly, but when I asked about the cost of his services, he quoted me $175 for the first hour of labor. The conversation did not go any further because I was amazed at how high his price was. In my experience, licensed carpenters do not even charge that much, so there was no way I was going to use this company.

We appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, our service aren't for every situation. We do charge more for our one hour minimum. Most contractors won't even take on one hour projects because they adversely impact utilization. We offer this service as an accommodation, but strongly encourage customers to find at least a half day's worth of work. Most members find this to be a more cost effective way to use our services.

From start to finish, this was a great experience. Called for a quote, got an immediate reply and a very fast visit to provide an estimate. Follow up calls were no-pressure, courteous and helpful. When we decided to have the work done, it was easily scheduled, we received a reminder call from Bob of the date and time of the appointments to begin and complete the work. Patrick arrived when we expected him, was courteous, professional, and terrific at what he did, which was repair plaster damage from an exterior ice dam problem. He was efficient, cleaned up, and did a superb job. Could not be happier with his work, or with the company and its efficiency and courtesy.
