Response from Handyman Howard
As the receptionist I cannot fairly comment on this review being that I did not start working for the company until mid April. The only response that I can offer at this time and it's more in a question form. Is why has this individual waited until now to write a review and respond on Angie's List if the work was to have been done in March? Also, did the person have the correct phone number in which they were calling? I can only respond with the fact that I think the person should have left a message on Angie's List message center as well as the phone messages in case they had the wrong number. Also I think a review should have been written well before now since the work was to have been done in March and it's now November 11th. This individual actually should have called Angie's List and asked for a refund which they would have been given if they were disappointed.

Service never happened. The company was great about responding and wanting to schedule, however I bought the deal wanting a good portion of the work to be pressure washing. The provider didn't have a pressure washer, and I haven't found a reliable provider of one to borrow or rent. I thought I could come up with enough other projects to be done instead, but I don't have them to do. So I will instead spend the money on a pressure washer company to do the work since they provide the equipment.

Thank you for your review and having purchased the handyman deal for the day. We're sorry we were unable to meet your requirements for the pressure washing. Please feel free to contact us with any handyman work you may need done in the future. You are welcome to contact us via Angie's List or at the phone number you have on file for us from our previous contact. Thank you again and hope to do business with you in the future sometime.

Since work needed to be done at my rental unit, I made the initial contact and then they coordinated it. Once they agreed on a date, work was done efficiently and quickly!
Description of Work: Several small projects for my renter which necessitated two visits, so which I felt that the price was very fair ! I have recommended him to my friends!

After several attempts to secure Howard's services without success as he did not communicate, Howard came to install kitchen cabinets. He showed up late and upon removal of the old cabinets, he noted some drywall had to be repaired. He stated he did not do drywall even though it did not have to be taped or painted as it would have been concealed by the cabinets. He arrived 11:30, started at 12:00. He was gone at 2PM when the tenant was contacted, apparently returned at some point, and left at 4:30, failing to show the next day though he promised to and did not respond to phone calls. I had the drywall done in the interim so he could complete the job. Just not reliable, and I question why Howard was unable to hammer a couple pieces of drywall in place. Paid for a days work and don't even believe I got half that. Instead of having 1 person in to do all the work, I ended up with Howard, a person to do the drywall, then someone to complete the cabinets that he was supposed to

Response from Handyman Howard
It was explained in full to the person in charge that the work was above and beyond the cost of handyman work. It was complete general contractor work and there was rotted wood involved that needed removing and replacing. The work entailed much more than the handyman work paid for and would have cost much more in labor than the fee charged. Howard would have received basically nothing for his work. The statement made here in this review is false and completely unfair.

Response from Handyman Howard
I am the receptionist and I absolutely did return Ms. [member name removed] phone call. I have her phone number on my message pad before me and I placed a check mark next to her name after calling her back and leaving a message for her. She did not pick up and I left a voice mail. This is a rather unfair review on her part and not at all appreciated.

We called him because he had done good work for us on a previous occasion, but unfortunately this experience left us disappointed. Specifically, Howard never returned our call despite the fact that he had dealt with us before and knew who we were. He at least could have called to tell us that he wasn't interested in doing the job.

All went well. Just wish the communication had been better about what he could do and could not do. I had asked him to replace some flood lights around the house and finally realized he could not get a tall enough ladder when they never got replaced. But the work he did was fine.
Description of Work: Howard fixed a hole in my ceiling from a roof leak, and replaced a light pole.

Howard was simply fantastic. He was right on time, worked incredibly hard throughout the day, and accomplished so much. I cannot say enough great things about him. We will absolutely have him back in the future. It was so nice to have someone finish up the tasks around the house that I needed done and to know that they were installed properly.
Description of Work: Howard installed new vinyl garage flooring, a garage organization system, a wall mounted fan, two sets of drapes, two curved shower rods, and a flag pole.

Work was done quickly but had to have him return to correct one of the repairs. Although he came back promptly and did not charge to make the correction the overall impression of the repairs is that it was not done by a professional.

I had a new roof put on & of course some of the wood that the roofing company doesn't replace, I needed done....I called(again) Howard & his admin answered & got some time set aside for my needs....Howard came on time with his associate ready to work.....did a survey, decided what wood would need replacing, went to pick up lumber, returned & went to work.....I explained to Howard that I had a carpenter give me a price that was not in my ballpark & he assured me that he would not pad the bill by slowing down....I was happy with their work & the time frame that they finished.....I guess I will just keep using Handyman Howard !

It went as it always goes with Howard: timely, reasonable, pleasant and skillful. He is quick to diagnose problems. He thinks in 3D as technician should. He has done electrical, plumbing, locksmithing, tile flooring, masonry, painting and everything else. I trust his judgement and his ethics. At times he brings an associate to provide skills that he does not possess He's a "Good Guy". That is my highest praise.

Howard & his partner came out gave me an honest estimate of costs & were ready to start right away.....I thought the cost was fair & he had done some work for me before & was happy with the outcome....they left to get parts, returned & completed most of the job to my satisfaction....there was one little item that had to be finished later in the week & Howard went back to the house & completed the task....Howard is a down to earth guy & easy to work with.....I always ask who I hire if they think they can handle the issue I hired them for & Howard tells me what he feels he's comfortable doing & ones he is not....& with his good workmanship, can't ask for much more.... I recommend him.

Howard is professional, competent, and with a no-nonsense kind of approach. His experience in adjusting for the inevitable problems that arise with matching materials to a project is evident. You can't just "google" the solutions that he comes up with. He's not the kind of handyman who fusses over extensive clean-up after a project. For me, this means that I'm not paying a handyman's wage for "sweeping"; I am after all, a skilled sweeper. I like that Howard keeps the focus on completing the tasks you have set before him, as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. In addition, Howard is honest, trustworthy, dependable and easy to get along with. He's come to the apartment 3 different times, and I'm so pleased with his work. If I wanted something adjusted in a different way, he was happy to oblige. I'm already working on gathering the items I need for Howard to come back and complete more projects. It is such an amazing feeling to scratch items OFF your to do list. Call Howard, you'll be glad you did.
Description of Work: Howard installed new AC vent cover (required aligning and drilling new holes, installed door latch, installed 2 ceiling lights (was missing some of the parts, but Howard made safe adaptations as needed), and provided reinforcement to our living room drapery rod when we wanted to hang heavier curtains.

I highly recommend Howard and definitely plan on using his handyman services again. He is very knowledgeable and his prices are very fair. He is also very pleasant and took the time to explain what he was doing in detail so that I fully understood.
Description of Work: Howard tackled a difficult plumbing job. He replaced a leaky kitchen faucet that had been there for many years and was very hard to remove. The new faucet I purchased did not fit the old connections but Howard figured it out. He also fixed a leaky toilet and a ceiling fan that wasn't working.

He did a nice job of putting together the system. Only problem was that I didn't measure the length of my longer shirts, and the space between the hanging bar on top and the lower shelf underneath. The top shelving should have been about a foot higher to give me more room. Neither one of us thought of that. He's a very nice man, who does a fine job.

On time, prepared and went right to work. Worked straight through to his quitting time. Took over a Kitchen Cabinet Job that was previously abandoned by both a General Contractor Nixon and his Cabinet subcontractor. With the parts on site Howard was able to put together a Kitchen that the others found unsalvageable! Thanks Howard! Howard tackled this job undaunted. Step by Step until each item was overcome. My wife came home and was amazed! Happy! Smiles! Her Kitchen yeah! With: Square, Pencil, Ruler, Drill, Saw, and level. And, An Eye for the job: On the job Custom Fabrication and all Hand made from the raw materials. I tell you! American Made.
