The Old Spouse Handyman Service

While no work was done because owner had an injury, he called me right-away to recommend two other companies that may be able to help. I certainly appreciated that dedication and caring.

We were completely satisfied with the work Sam completed for us. He took time to assess the problem and explained the steps that would be required to rehang the door. He expertly completed the job with care and precision so that the repair is undetectable. We would highly recommend Sam and will be calling him for future projects soon.

Sam was very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. He was professional and works for a fair price. He did an excellent job and is very good at what he does. I will definitely be using him for any future handyman projects I need done around the house!

Sam was very responsive. Although Sam was not able to do the work himself, he arranged for his associate (Moshe Zimmerman) to do the work at my house. Moshe was a hard worker and did a fantastic job hanging a glass shower door and two closet bifold doors. Moshe was determined to clean up after the job and ensure everything was clean. I was impressed with his attention to detail and knowledge. I appreciate Sam arranging for Moshe to do the work for me. I also liked that Sam was very responsive in communicating. He always promptly returned phone calls. My entire experience with Sam and Moshe was outstanding and I would recommend their services to anyone.

Handyman arrived and prior to arrival was given tasks that needed to be done. I had a broken dining room table and a closet shelf which had collapsed. The dining room table he could not fix. Another handyman fixed it. Talked for 15 minutes with wife on the phone. I do not believe it was an emergency something about dinner plans. Only fixed the shelf and charged a total of $65.! I think that was over priced. Left after an hour because he had dinner plans

Excellent. Despite having a personal health issue Sam still scheduled and completed our job with the help of his capable assistant Barbara. Wonderful people.

Sam was great to work with. He performed the work exactly how we wanted it. The shelves look great and were much more affordable then other companies.

Sam is a very knowledgable and skilled handyman. Most of the projects were challenging, and Sam found clever and innovative solutions. He thought through the alternatives and explained his rationale for doing the work in the best possible way. Sam is a pleasure to work with - he is professional, dependable, and patient. His prices are reasonable. I highly recommend him for about any project around the house.

The work was scheduled and performed promptly and well.

Sam was absolutely excellent with everything! Very skilled in a variety of carpentry services :)

When I originally called, I got the voice mail. Samuel's voice on the message was very kind and gave me a good feeling about using them. However, it all went downhill with Barbara. She wasted time on the hinge job. She tried to bend the existing hinges even though I told her to just put on new ones. I had several questions for her with the frame job. She told me that every question I had was rebutting her. She was abrasive and very rude. When I asked her if she would match other estimates, she replied with a very negative tone: "Absolutely not! I am not Home Depot!". I will not be using them again.

on time & completed work as promised

My initial phone call was returned that evening and a meeting was scheduled. Mr. Stockhamer cleaned up as he went along and allowed me to watch and learn. All my questions were answered and all tasks were done to my satisfaction. Mr Stockhamer was professional and personable. I will definitely use Old Spouse again.

The door had not been centered correctly and Sam compensated for the problem by adding cut pieces of wood to fill the gaps, caulking and painting. I feel it was an unusual situation and he was creative in finding the solution.

Job was completed as requested and even helped the front door close better. Definitely would call again.

A couple of bumps but all ended up well and I like the guy!

Excellent - the work was done to my satisfaction.

As above he is competent is a variety of skills. His prices are fair. I constance to him .

We had been looking for a general handyman for some time and are very happy with Sam's work. He was responsive to our call and followed up with an appointment date and time that was promptly kept. Repair work on door more than net our expectations as it is even more secure than prior to the burglary. Excellent overall and we intend to use his services again.

Finally, the tile company sent out a person to shave and rehang the door after a week and many heated conversations. The Old Spouse was ready twice to come out and we put them off each time. The company representative from The Old Spouse was eager to do the job, but we had the tile company eventually fix the problem. Based on the quickness, willingness and patience of The Old Spouse, I will use them in the future for handyman jobs and I'm impressed with their professionalism during the many conversations we had regarding our issue with the door.

After he called me and I told him what I needed, he said he could do it, quoted me a price and asked me if I wanted to schedule an appointment. I told him yes let's go ahead and he asked me what times I would be home during the week, I told him that I work and that I get home at 6 PM. He took my name, address and all of a sudden towards the end of our conversation he told me that it would be difficult for him during the week to come after 6 PM. So I asked him what would you do it on Saturday and his reply was he'd rather not work Saturdays. At that point when I saw his negativity and change of mind apparently, I said OK then I guess were done and I hung up. Very disappointing.

Services were performed to my complete satisfaction

Good – On time. Did the work – after examine it – I asked if he could put a few more nails on one area – he did it.

I hired Sam to repair a few items at my parents house. He was prompt, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I would hire him again without hesitation.

Everything was done in a professional manner. Clean workers. Very satisfied!
