Howard is polite, honest and punctual. If he doesn't think he can do a job, he will tell you. I trust him with a key to my house.
Description of Work: Howard has done several jobs for me. He has installed an outside shower, put guards on my gutters, disconnected a faulty garage door, and attached/removed hurricane shutters. His charges are always reasonable.

He wasn't so good on the gutter guards. I think he isn't comfortable with heights, but he had a friend help and it worked out fine. He did an excellent job on the shower and set up the hurricane shutters before the storm and at a reasonable price. Howard is honest, professional, punctual and generally good. If he doesn't feel comfortable with a project, he will tell you.
Description of Work: I have used Howard several times. He installed an outdoor shower, set up hurricane shutters and installed gutter guards at the roofline.

They were very prompt, kind, courteous and happy to teach me a few things. They pointed out some things that I need to do to prevent some other unrelated problems that will arise. They aren't licensed plumbers so they said I should call one for those issues. I really like that. They seem to care. Their rate is $35/hr, min 2 hrs. Really nice guy and his brother. As my granny would say, "good ol' country boys." Will definitely call again.
Description of Work: I had a dead animal smell somewhere in my kitchen and I could not find it through all the usual means. They did, but I need a plumber, too.

It went great. Howard always showed up when he said he would. If he had a delay, he would call well ahead of time. He was courteous and prices were very reasonable even with some on the fly redesign due to some minor design changes. Eventually, he made a well built, strong, and quite functional permanent fence and gate system that looks as intended. Howard was easy to work with, flexible, and communicated very well about job, materials pickup, and scheduling work at our home. I gave a tip because he and his crew did such a good job salvaging my design when it looked like it might not be strong enough. (the fence/gate system is quite sturdy) I cannot more highly recommend Handyman Howard and his small crew. They were a pleasure to work with and even picked up all the large materials I purchased at Home Depot because I could not get it home on my own. My project is now painted and looks fantastic.

The Provider showed up at the scheduled time and date. The job was simply to do some minor calking on a master bathroom shower, to prevent tiles from leaking. The provider has a two hour minimum rate, which I knew about when I hired him. He came with his assistant who performed the actual work, which took maybe 20 minutes at most. After I looked at the work some time later, I noticed that they missed an area that was supposed to be calked. I called the next day, and the provided came the following day to complete the task, at no additional cost. I was disappointed that the work was not completed correctly the first time. I don't think I will use this provider again.

Upon return to make amends for what was considered to be unsatisfactory the day before, I was under the impression that all was resolved. It would have been greatly appreciated to have been made aware at that time that it was still not satisfactory and everything possible would have been done to rectify the situation then and there. I pride myself both on my work and ratings/reviews and strive to keep my customers pleased with the quality of work performed on their behalf. As seen here on Angie's List I have an A rating and the workmanship provided to my customers reflects in what is seen by those looking for someone they can rely on and trust. In good faith and with appreciation of your having contacted me for doing the work you needed to have done I am going to have my office send you a $20.00 gift certificate/coupon good for up to one year to use towards a repair or needed work that may arise. It will give you $20.00 (twenty) dollars off the total price of the amount due at time of service rendered. As with all my customers, I only wish to accommodate and supply the very best of service and workmanship. If someone is not satisfied I will do my utmost to resolve the situation to a mutual agreement and satisfaction on both parts. Thank you again for initially contacting Handyman Howard Services and I hope that we will be able to do business with you again sometime in the future.

I needed to replace a chandelier in a 2-story entrance. After weeks of waiting to hear back from another handyman about when his tall ladder would be available and then finding out it wasn't tall enough, I got a quote from an electrician for $$$$$. When I called Howard, someone answered, gave me the info and set up the appointment. He came with someone else, they checked what size ladder was needed, rented it and installed the chandelier no problem. A few chains weren't hanging properly and they went back up to make sure it was perfect. Since there was a 2 hour minimum, I had them hang a rod in my laundry room too. Would definitely use again!!!

The work went very well. After completing the requested task, he checked our other closet shelves and found a primary bracket which was pulling out of the wall. Essentially, he found another accident waiting to happen. He and his assistant put that bracket back into the wall securely and added bracing to several other closet shelves. The overall work was completed in a timely manner and the cost of all the work was very reasonable.
Description of Work: My bedroom closet shelves collapsed and in the process broke almost all of the retaining brackets and bent all of the support braces. Handyman Howard and his assistant came to our apartment, assessed the situation, left to buy necessary replacement hardware, and returned promptly and reinstalled the shelves with improved support and bracing.

The job came out very well
Description of Work: Handyman Howard saved me a lot of money on my repair job. Instead of spending $22,000 on my first proposal , I only spent $3850 to replace only the bad paneling . The rest of the panels were fine and only had rot at the bottom and so Handyman Howard put a border to cover the bottom of the panels around almost the entire house. I did not have to replace all of the wood except for 2 sheets of wood. Howard painted the exterior house and borders also

It is going to be fine now, I hope he will take me back as a consumer who made a big mistake. I have talked to him on the phone and he sounds like a very nice person. I will write a letter to Angies list and to howard. I am trying to make thing right.

Howard and his brother David were amazing. We had a week to get the place ready for my mother to move in and found Howard on this list. Howard was there the next day with his brother and both worked hard throughout the week to have the home ready. Both Howard and David are very very nice people and very hard workers. They had good ideas, were able to identify what they could and could not do, were punctual and are all around wonderful people. The work they did removing the wall paper and painting was amazing- it was a difficult task to ask anyone. They acknowledged they had done some of the work in the past but had never tackled a job this difficult - yet felt they could do it. When we said yes, they jumped right in and went to work and did a wonderful, wonderful job.
Description of Work: Removed wallpaper from two rooms including a room with a peaked two story wall- part of the wallpaper was already falling down the walls; painted in three rooms, repaired and/or replaced hinges in many cabinets, installed magnets in cabinets, replaced an electric fixture, attempted two other fixtures- one required specialized electrical and the other was too high to reach with the ladders they had, replaced plastic over kitchen soffit (included cutting plastic to size), cleaned stains on vaulted bubble ceilings (sprayed with a bleach solution- it worked!!), power washed exterior, designed and installed a fix to garage door that did not meet the floor of the garage on one side and formerly allowed water to enter, and installed a fiberglass plug to a rusted hole in a metal support in the back porch.
