He showed up on time and did the work efficiently and it looks great. Got rid of the weeds, put down new mulch - would have taken me all day, no doubt. He cut back one of my palms, blew and took care of leaves that had spilled onto my rocks from the tropical storm and made sure any mulch that spilled over to sidewalk was taken care of. All in all, he did a great job and it was exactly what I needed. I'd highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Called John to cut my yard, edge, trim, blow, etc. just one time, as I was getting ready to move, as well as mulch the front and back yards. I was crunched for time and he said he could get it done quickly. He suggested mulching a few different areas as well to keep the mulch consistent, which I agreed to. He showed up on time and did the work efficiently and it looks great. Got rid of the weeds, put down new mulch - would have taken me all day, no doubt. I'd highly recommend him.

Called to obtain quote for spring cleanup and weekly maintenance. John drove by to assess the job and called me promptly to deliver an estimate. We had a lot of leaves and pollen that needed to be hauled away but no major issues. Agreed to $125 for initial cleanup and $80/mo for weekly maintenance (bi-weekly winter). He stated that he does not mulch. John worked on the yard alone and spent about 5 hours or so cleaning it up. He mowed, trimmed the hedges, gathered and hauled the leaves, cleaned off our back patio that was full of leaves and pollen, and blew off the driveway and sidewalks. We have four oaks and several pines so it's a lot to keep up with. He did a good job and we would use him again.
Description of Work: Entire spring yard cleanup including mowing, leaves, hedges, and trim.

John is a great guy to get to know if you need anything hauled. He was courteous, prompt, friendly, prepared and got the job done in minutes. He is definitely going to be tagged as favorite and recommended to the property manager at my condo association. He also sells deviled crabs (his sister makes them) and I just have a good feeling about these crabs I ordered after meeting John.
Description of Work: Hauled off a 5 foot bathroom vanity, 7 foot counter top and sink, several door blanks and frames plus a pile of broken floor tile and baseboard moldings from a remodel project I have going on.

I called 3 times in the course of 2 weeks and was never given a call back. If he was too busy then call and say so but no return call is inexcuseable.

We needed a new yard maintenance company and found Mr. Williams on Angie's List. When he came to give us the estimate, he immediately noticed things the previous company had not done, like whack any grass trying to come up through the driveway. He is quick, meticulous, and he has started coming every week, working around summer rains to make sure the lawn gets mowed.
Description of Work: Mr. Williams is mowing, trimming, and maintaining our lawn and yard. This included an initial difficult project of clearing weeds outside the back fence, atop a seawall beside a pond. Because we do not use any poisons, the growth had to be cut. We have hired him to cut and maintain our front and back yards. He is charging $110 per month to come weekly in the warm months and biweekly in the winter.

He did a good job overall. We had to caution him about weed work around trees but once we did, he corrected the problem immediately. We use him monthly and will continue to use him.
Description of Work: We don't have a lawn that needs to be mowed, so he takes care of the ground cover once a month.

HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB CONSIDERING HE DID ALL THE WORK BY HIMSELF. I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DID IT, BUT HE DID, AND I WAS VERY PLEASED. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE PRICE TO HELP ME GET THE YARD BACK UNDER CONTROL. I FEEL MUCH BETTER THAT THE TREES ARE TRIMMED OF DEAD LIMBS. IT WAS LONG OVERDUE.
Description of Work: JOHN TRIMMED ALL THE TREES IN MY YARD AND MOWED THE OVERGROWN GRASS. I ALSO HAD HIM CUT MY ELDERLY NEIGHBOR'S YARD. A GIFT TO HER FROM ME.

I CALLED HANDY JOHN SERVICE ON A TUESDAY. JOHN WILLIAMS CAME OUT THE SAME DAY, AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE. I SPOKE WITH HIM WED. TO HIRE HIM FOR THE JOB AND HE CAME OUT SATURDAY TO DO THE WORK. WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE JOB HE DID. JOHN HAD TO TAKE DOWN PART OF OUR FENCE TO GET THE HOBY CAT INTO THE YARD. HE PUT THE FENCE BACK UP JUST THE WAY HE FOUND IT. HE CLEANED UP EVERY THING, EVEN USED A BLOWER ON THE DRIVEWAY. WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE WORK JOHN WILLIAMS DID, AND WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.
Description of Work: ALONG THE FENCE IN OUR BACK YARD WE HAVE A LOT OF PALMETTO PLANTS. THEY WERE VERY OVER GROWN WITH GRASS AND WEEDS. WE WANTED TO HAVE THEM TOTALLY DUG OUT AND REMOVED. I CALLED SEVERAL COMPANIES TO GET ESTIMATES. SOME CALLED BACK AND SAID THEY DIDN'T DO THAT KIND OF WORK, OR THEY DIDN'T EVEN RETURN MY CALL. I GOT ONE OTHER EST. OTHER THAN HANDY JOHN SERVICE, BUT WE DECIDED ON HANDY JOHN SERVICE. HE SOUNDED LIKE HE REALLY KNEW HIS BUSINESS, AND WHAT WAS THE BEST WAY TO GET THE JOB DONE.
