They have always been very responsie, prompt, courteous and professional. I have more jobs for them to perform as I have been so happy with my past experience. I would highly recommend Handy Vets.
Description of Work: I had Handy Vets perform several jobs, including refinishing a cocktail table, replacing kitchen faucets with Moen touchless faucets, replacing robe lighting in recessed ceiling with LED lighting.

Happy with the patching job on the wall. Unhappy with the poor paint job. A teenager could have done it as well. Still waiting to have the carpet repaired.
Description of Work: Patched a large hole in the wall. Great job! Another came to paint the same wall. Lousy job. He started to repair the carpet but didn't have the right tools. I had to tell him twice to stop and wait until he had the right tools. Still waiting for the carpet to be repaired.

This is the second time I used Handy Vets. Once again, I cannot but praise the workmanship and professionalism. Everything was as promised and exceeded my expectations. Craig was super. He even came back, without charge, because of a small leak under the new sink. I will use this company again if the need arises. They offer accurate diagnosis, estimates based on what options I chose, and excellent work. That is why I do not understand some of the negative comments from other customers. But from this end, highly recommended!

I had seen reviews stating they had sent people unqualified to do the work. When talking with them they insured me that problem had been resolved. It has not. First day they left wood out in our driveway, I had told them they could put it in the garage as it looked like rain. It did rain, although they had put painters plastic over it., the wood was useless. When coming back with the new wood they backed into our mailbox. When they were putting it back up. I told them I had a bag of quick crete in the garage they could use. They did not feel they needed it. Day by day the mailbox sank, the post man would have needed a clown car to deliver the mail. They let wood get wet a second time. This time they left the painters plastic laying in the front yard. It killed a large circle of our grass. The job was poorly done and left unfinished. Boards were not straight and not sanded. This was a comedy of errors. Which did not leave us laughing. They did come back to make repairs. But overall we were left to finish the job.

I guess the only thing we can wonder is why it took over 8 months to give a review? Our company specializes in training military veterans in handy-man services, and we do our best to send qualified personnel on every job. We are consistantly working on improving the service of our company. As for the wood issure and the mailbox we had our foreman return and correct any know problems. All free of charge. We guarantee our work and will do everything necessary to improve our services, at every opportunity.

They were prompt, professional, courteous, and incredibly helpful! I have added this provider to my favorites so I'll be sure to remember their phone number! I'll definitely hire them again!
Description of Work: Needed help removing a granite-topped island from the kitchen of a condo. I called on Thursday or Friday and they showed up promptly on Monday morning. They unsealed the island from the tile below, cleaned up the tile, moved the island and granite top to our storage unit and put the granite back on top so we could still use it for storage! All for $100!

The provider did drywall for ceiling but did not complete the job. They were contacted to patch ceiling and paint surface. They only patched the ceiling and did not return to paint ceiling. The job they completed was good but I would have thought that they would have planned to complete the entire job while they were there or schedule a time to return to complete the job.
Description of Work: The provider patched a hole in ceiling about 12 inches wide.

The guy who hung the door did a good job and was very nice, but I had trouble with this company. Spent weeks trying to get them out here, always delaying or not showing up and not calling. When the door started not closing right, they did send someone out to fix it right away no charge, so that was nice. But I was kinda shocked by how expensive the one-day job was, so I complained and the owner knocked $100 off my bill. I found out it was expensive because they charge you $40/hr labor rates for the time they spend driving to your house and buying supplies ahead of time! Of course no one told me that up front. The owner said it was "industry practice" but I've had five or six other contractors do work for me and none of them have had that policy. And the owner came out for a second five-minute "evaluation" for no reason except it took him so many weeks to get people out to my place that he probably forgot what the job looked like, and then he charged me for that. Also I think he quoted me a lower labor rate in the estimate, but I couldn't remember for sure. So I had a friend call and describe the same job, and sure enough he quoted him a lower labor rate! Also he told me that it would take a long time because he had to "order" my very generic, plain, standard exterior door. Then he didn't show up and didn't call, said later it was because the door he ordered had a dent in it, then he just shows up the next day with a door. Did he order another and it arrived in 24 hrs? Was there never really a dent in the door? Did he never even special order a door? Who knows. My gut feeling is this guy is shady and I would stay away. Workers were nice though.

Response from Handy Vets
Every project requires a certain amount of finess with clients. Most are very easy and the client is appreciative of the work done. Ever so often one is difficult for any number of reasons. This project was a simple one requiring advance measurement and consulting with the client (who was, by the way, not the reviewer). The exterior entance did not have a door frame or a previously existing exterior door. Some important facts were not mentioned in the review. Location of the residence, condition of the building prior to our installation, and considerable modifications to a standard exterior installation It is supprising to us, after returning, as a part of our guaranty, to make sure everything was exactly as promised, and adjusting the final bill to satisfy any question of pricing, we believed our performance would have received a better overall rating. We do appreciate the reviewer's praise of our technicians, and thank them for it. In summary, we ask the reader to consider our performance ratings overall, and understand you cannot please everyone everytime. We really do try.

They came out twice to look at the job but they needed to consult about it internally. They said I'd hear from them by Monday but I have not yet. I did not use the deal.

Response from Handy Vets
The original contract was an Angie's List Special promotion. We contacted the owner about some work he required removing popcorn type ceiling from his garage area. When we discussed the process at length, he decided not to do the garage area but instead use the special deal to do different work on his lanai. We have a specialist who does resurfacing of drywall and we were in the process of freeing him from committed projects when the client decided he would not exercise the contract. We are a small company, but we always want to have our best men on our client's project to assure maximum positive results. In this case, we just could not free them in a timely manner. We regret we were not able to be of assistance.

We scheduled the appointment and followed up with Craig, the owner. Adam is the gentleman who performed the service. We couldn't have been more pleased! This is an OUTSTANDING company filled with great people. They are knowledgeable, professional, prompt, and honest. And they employ veterans who are in need of work. It is without hesitation that we recommend Handy Vets!

We appreciate every comment from our customers. It helps us to develop a better program for our veterans. We guaranty our work, at any level and we were pleased to send our training foreman to correct any problems with this job. We strive to get things right the first time, but in this case, it took us two trips to do it properly. As is indicated in over 80% of our reviews, we accomplish our mission in an exemplary manner, and until we achieve a 100% A grade, we will strive to better our program everyday. You have our work on it.

The sheetrock replacement took one day. Chuck was very professional and quick. When he left the sheetrock was in place and he had simulated a knockdown texture in one bath and orange peel in the other. We did the painting as we were painting the house. The tiling took a few days and we had a walk in shower and area surrounding a bathtub. Craig, did the tile. It turned out BEAUTIFUL the tile goes from the floor to the ceiling! Craig really knows how to tile and he takes such pride and care in the work he does. He worked hard. I don't recall him taking a lunch break or any break at all. He knew exactly how to mark-up the project prior to getting started. He knew exactly how much product we would need. There is no doubt Craig is an expert in tile. Craig was also able to deal with some unforeseen issues such as adjusting the walk in shower drain. My husband and I did the demolition prior to the job so we were able to save a little $$. We also had to have a plumber come in prior to the job as the plumbing was a disaster in both bathrooms.
Description of Work: Replaced partial sheet rock and texture in two bathrooms. Tiled walk-in shower, installed shower door, and tiled around bathroom in second bathroom.

We are always disappointed when a client is unhappy with our work. We reviewed the work order and found the small project was scheduled and re-scheduled due to the client being away a great deal of time. It is difficult for us to perform to our maximum when the time element does not allow us to get in and get it done. Having said that, we still look for ever increasing performance from our technicians Adjustments are always being made to correct and train our personnel.

Sorry you were not pleased with the pre-coating. When removing popcorn ceilings, the process is always based on the condition of the existing textures. Some popcorn removal goes clean and smooth and others need to have a new ceiling texture put on to hide typical problem areas. The only other option is to remove the drywall and install a new ceiling. This is expensive and causes a great deal of inconvenience for the home owner. The options are always with the home owner.

A first-class professional operation! Replaced rotted wood and some good wood trim w/hardy board around exterior of home to prep for exterior painting. Located and repaired shower leak affecting an outside area, installed grab bars in a bathroom and replaced water supply valve on toilet.

Not well. Appointments made to discuss the tile work to be completed were not kept and no telephone calls from them advising me that they would be a no show. The last straw was when their tile installer was not even advised that he was scheduled to commence the tile installation on January 13, 2015. He was also to obtain tile samples in addition to the ones that I gave him on our initial appointment on November 10, 2014. Very disorganized and unprofessional and very disappointed. . I was sorry that things did not work out because I am highly proud and supportive of our veterans and was initially very happy to give them job.
Description of Work: They did not do the work scheduled for January 13, 2015. I canceled the job due to the owner's lack of organization and proper scheduling. Prior appointments were not kept and no communication advising me that the scheduled appointments would not be kept. Hopefully, tile samples given to them on our initial appointment back in November, 2014 will be returned so that when I hire another vendor, the samples will be available to me.

Every review is very important to us. We consider every opportunityto perform our services a priviledge, and try to do our best to excel at every project. When we fall short and receive any review other than a "A", it generates a new step in our firm and is always reviewed and treated as a learning lesson. In this case, we were unable to start the project because of perceived timing problems with our schedule and the client's requirements. We slated the project for a January start, back in November and were prepared to deliver on our scheduled date; however, the client cancelled the job prior to the start date We promptly returned samples and expressed our regrets in being unable to perform, as we discussed. We wish the client success and again state we were ready to begin the project as scheduled in mid January.

Craig was amazing. Very professional and genuine. His craftsmanship was simply remarkable. He supplied all materials needed except for last minuet upgrades we purchased. The material he used was high quality (something I was concerned before the project) . I will use him again along with the Handy-Vets ( I love the concept).
