When I initially contacted Mike, I had a long list of handyman projects that needed to be done around the house. When he came by, he took his time and answered all our questions. He probably stayed about an hour to go through all the things. I was impressed, so I asked him to take a look at our kitchen and see what he could do about creating a pass through and removing a dated breadbox attached to one of the cabinets and countertop. When I received his quote, it was meticulously itemized, down to the texturing of the walls. Most quotes I received were just general estimates, and no one, except for Mike, really seemed to be concerned about whether the wall was load bearing, so I knew I needed to hire Mike, and I am so glad I did. The opening is exactly what I wanted. I could not be happier.

With the price per hour for his work, I decided not to use his services for this job, but am still interested in using him for another future project one day just to see if his work is as guaranteed as he says as having the job done right the first time would be worth paying his price.
Description of Work: I did not use this company's (The Tallahassee Handyman) services. I did not get an estimate. I emailed the owner (Mike Wreggitt) with the list of things I needed done and tried to set up an appointment for the estimate to be done. He replied to my email saying: Let me give you a little info about my pricing. I work hourly at $105/hr. I have a $175 minimum charge. (1/2 hr = $175, 2 hrs = $210). I'm not the cheapest guy out there, but I guarantee my work. The people who hire me do so for the quality of work that I do. All the work is done by me, I don't hire employees. My niche is, as I put it, 'micro to medium-sized' repairs. For any job within my wheelhouse, I would give you an estimated time for the work, it could take more time, or less. But I put a 'cap' on every job I do. I stop billing at that point, but still complete the work obviously. With all my jobs, you have to be happy with the work before you pay me. If someone calls and they have one very small task, such as rescreening a door, I recommend that they see if they have one or two other small items as well, so it's cost effective for them to hire me. I would need to look at the job to be able to estimate the cost. Also, I'm booked out 21 to 28 days, this is pretty typical for me, and I am subject to delays in my schedule, as jobs can take longer than I estimate at times. If this is acceptable, shoot me a reply to this email and we'll set up an appt. Best, Mike Wreggitt The Tallahassee Handyman, LLC

Mike does great work! He is professional, courteous, punctual, offers a warranty, offers references in his Welcome Kit. We definitely plan to use Mike again. Mike's service is not the cheapest available in Tallahassee. But, it is a lot cheaper (and less stressful) to pay someone to do the work right the first time.

Mike was very professional. He scheduled an appointment to give me an accurate estimate of repairs. I approved the estimate and an appointment was made to complete the work. After completing each job of his work,he asked if it met my expectations. I definitely will hire Mike back for future handyman work.

I found the Tallahassee Handyman on Angie's List based on high reviews, so I had I high hopes. I was not disappointed. I simply wanted a tile back splash installed (not a hard project, but one I didn't feel capable of doing myself). Mike was easily available when I needed to reach him and he was very professional in his work. Although he ran late, he made sure to contact me to let me know. The quality of the back splash is excellent, and I am very happy with it and believe it brings added value to my house. I would hire him again for other projects and would recommend him to friends and family. His workmanship was great, but just as important to me, he was also very nice and even put up with my dog without showing any irritation or unfriendliness.

Mike is a great person to deal with for repairs. He provided both a best case and worst case scenario of the work (until wood rot was removed it could not be seen what was below the surface area) for his estimate. The estimate contained everything that I needed to know about what he would be doing and breakdown of all the work for both possibilities. It was nice getting a minimum price along with a not to exceed price on the work. Oncehe started the work he was in constant motion. He knows his job and takes great pains to insure that you are getting your money's worth. I also like that he is a person that gives you updates during the job and makes sure that you are informed of anything he finds or if he encounters something that needs your review before he does anything. At the end of the job I was above pleased with the work and the repairs that he performed. It was great quality and he is great craftsman to use for repairs around the house.

Mike is professional. He communicates very well with what he was going to do, and kept me informed the entire time about the process. When he came to give me his estimate, he drew up a contract with me and wrote out exactly what he was going to do before he started so we were on the same page as to what I needed for him to do and what it was going to cost. It sounded like a simple task, but because of the uneven floors and how the door frame was hung, it was not. Mike knows what he is doing and does it very well. I am very pleased with how the double doors look in our master bedroom. He estimated that it might take him a few hours to do, but because of the uneven floors and doorframe, he also estimated that it could take longer and so he set a price for that as well. So there was a minimum price and a "not to exceed" price. The price I paid him might look high, but it took him over 6 hours from the shopping to Lowes to the finish to get it exactly right. This guy is not a goof off. He worked very hard all those hours, and It was worth every penny
Description of Work: We are in a new house. Mike took down a set of bifold doors that never fit properly out of bathroom door. He went to Lowe's and bought exactly what I asked for, 2 matching doors to go in the doorframe. He had to plane the doors to fit in the uneven doorframe and fit well in the doorway and with the uneven floors, install the hinges and doors to fit. He also installed rubber bumpers so that they closed quietly which helps in a bedroom when someone is sleeping.He caulked, and cleaned up after himself. The doors look perfect and so much nicer than what was there before!

He did a fantastic job! The job took 3 days. He was thorough. We love him! He was very professional and clean. He took precautions to not damage or dirty my home. He explained everything along the way too which I liked.
Description of Work: They have done two jobs for us. I had a toilet leak and a bathtub leak. I have a two story house and water was leaking through the house when the tub was leaking. He had to remove the ceiling, put it back up, and do spackling.

I've had a lot of people do work at my house over the years and Mike has been by far the nicest, most honest and fairest person I've dealt with. And the work he does is high quality. He provided multiple options in his quotes and often recommended the less expensive one. He reminded me of an HGTV host because I could tell he enjoyed what he was doing and he liked educating my wife and I about the work he was doing without talking down to us or being frustrated that we weren't experts like many other contractors seem to be. Would definitely have him back to do more work, and have tried, but he's booked pretty far out now. I highly recommend Mike.
Description of Work: We had Mike do a number of things around the house - install ceiling fans, mount a flat screen tv in our kitchen, replace several faucets, remodel a bathroom, change light fixtures and do some interior painting.

I sent an email to his website, telling him I had several projects for him. He promptly replied, and said the earliest he could come out for an estimate would be the following Monday at 4:30 pm. I told him I was good any day that week, just tell me the best day and time for him. He never replied to that email. He did not show up Monday, or any day that week. I have never heard a thing back from him. This is second handyman in the past month who failed to show for an appointment.

[member name removed], all I can do is apologize. Unfortunately as a one-man-show, it is all too easy for me to get swamped. That doesn't excuse missing an appointment, or not even calling. I try hard not to do that, but in your case I did. If you are still needing the work done, give me a call, I will make a point to make sure I get you taken care of. Mike W

Thanks, [member name removed]. I appreciate the positive review. I will point out that my initial interaction with [member name removed] didn't go well, due to my giving him a proposal for repairs on his roof, which I then wasn't able to get to for a good 2 1/2 months, until he was forced to find another contractor. I'm glad he was able to get that situation resolved, despite my being swamped and unable to get to his job. I'm also happy I was able to take care of the repair to the pocket door, quickly and efficiently. Thanks again, [member name removed]. Mike W
