Hero came out and gave us an estimate within 24 hours of me calling him. We selected his company to work with and they were back out right away to solve the issue.
Description of Work: During one of the storms a tree fell down on our property. Hero called me back immediately and came out to remedy the situation right away. The price was very fair and everything was cleaned up well.

It was excellent. I was thrilled to death. When it came to color of flooring he was able to figure out exactly what I wanted. They were on time and did a great job. Hiro was always available for any questions.
Description of Work: I had a built in fireplace that they took out because it took up half of wall and they put in a new vent free fireplace. Pulled up carpet and put in lament flooring in kitchen, dining room hall, and living room. They also painted an accent wall.

I actually came across Handy Hero by doing a yahoo search in my area. I then pushed the link to their website and plastered on the main page is the ANGIES LIST 2013 SUPER SERVICE AWARD shield. So I decided to give them a try and called to make an appointment. My first concern was the gentleman wouldn't give me a date for the estimate service. He kept saying, "give us a couple of days and we will get back to you". Well more than a couple of days went by and I kind of written Handy Hero off. They eventually did call but it was more like 4 days. I then talked to another man named Glen and he said he could make it out on a date and time. He did get there on the day, spent a good quality amount of time assessing the wood damage, and promised to get me the estimate in a day or two. He did the estimate and sent it to me as told. The estimate was more expensive than the others I had received from competitors but I decided to go with Handy Hero because Glen really impressed me with his manner and knowledge. I called Glen's mobile phone and told him the news with one condition, we need to wait 3 or 4 weeks to start the project. "Please call me back if this is okay", I said. Seven (7) days after I left the message, I was going to call Handy Hero to let them know I was canceling the order but Glen called just before I got to the task. I informed Glen that I will be going with another provider. Since Glen did call me, I now know that my message was recieved but wasn't important enough to warrant a return a call that night or even the next morning. I understand people are busy. I can understand lateness due to traffic or projects delayed due to weather but I will not work with people that leave me hanging for days or won't update me with a simple 3 minute telephone call. (The estimate was $925 but that did not include tax or a 3% service charge for using a credit card.)

Dear [member name removed], I apologize for any upset caused. I checked into this matter and Glenn said he did call you back that same day but you did not answer so he left a voice mail. Then as he did not hear back from you, he called again several days later, as you state. Best, Shannon Kimoto VP Handy Hero, Inc

It went well. I have an odd home that is older. They had to find a door for me and have it special made and then install it. The owner was very courteous. He got the contract out quickly and the contractor was very friendly and knowledgeable. The whole process went pretty smooth considering the kind of work it was.

The project went perfectly. About an hour after Handy Hero started, I walked into my kitchen where there was a huge plastic sheet tenting the entire work area. The floors were completely protected and the project was well underway. I checked on the work every so often and I could tell there was excellent attention to detail. I am pretty sure the completed project came out better than the original work when the house was built 12 years ago. Painting was the last step. Two coats of paint were applied to the entire ceiling. Again, everything was protected by plastic and drop cloths. The site was left very clean. With all the poor choices to choose from, Handy Hero stands in front of the pack and turned out to be the absolute best choice. I will definetely invite them back to build a half bathroom on our lower level recreation level.
Description of Work: One of my kids flooded the upstairs bathroom resulting in major damage to our kitchen ceiling. Handy Hero was able to come to my home the next day and provide a very reasonable estimate. They removed and replaced the damaged drywall from the ceiling and replaced with new material. Everything was taped, mudded, sanded, and painted perfectly. We took this opportunity to add a number of can lights and wiring for two pendant lights.

The main office called and told me a technician (David Eckhardt) would be in touch the same day to provide a quote. Since my job was fairly basic, David was able to provide a quote over the phone (I sent a picture of the current set-up via text). David called and sent a text to schedule the appointment and called me the day he was scheduled to do the work. David came in, unboxed the material, and went to work measuring first to make sure everything would fit (who knew a 30 in cooktop you purchased does not always fit in an existing 30 in countertop setup...thank goodness mine worked out fine). David was careful with my products and although the instructions say the microwave is a two-person job, David knew the tricks of the trade to get that thing installed perfectly...so glad I did not try to do it myself (definitely worth the price paid). David showed me the best way to clean the products and a few basics of operation...not rocket science but a nice touch on his part. He hauled my old stuff away for recycling and left my kitchen in tip top shape. This is my first experience with Handy Hero but it will certainly not be my last...good job. I appreciate David Eckhardt's professionalism and great work ethic (I even had to leave for about 20 minutes to pick up my kid at school during the install; I had no problem leaving my home while David did his thing, although I think I'm missing a chocolate chip cookie...nope, turns out it was my 10 year old daughter). Overall, great experience.
Description of Work: Installed electric cooktop (removed the old one) and over the counter microwave-hood combo.

I called them and they gave me an estimate about $200 dollars plus some gas fee. They did a good job installing the hood but in the end they charged us $400 and $100 gas fee. Not very happy with the price.

Shaun was sent to handle all of the items on our list. He was very thorough, efficient, and obviously was very knowledgeable about what to do for each task. We are extremely pleased with his work, and would definitely want to have him back for anything else that needs attention. I highly recommend Handy Hero. The owner is very courteous, responsive, helpful and will send the right technician for the job.

They did a good job. I thought the price was expensive. I haven’t had any handiwork done by anybody else so maybe that’s the going rate for handyman. The work was well done. I thought I would try somebody else first but if it turns out that everybody else was expensive too then I would probably go back to Handy Hero Inc.
Description of Work: I used Handy Hero Inc to install 3 towel racks and 2 towel rings. They painted some tools in the garage. They hung mirror and repaired a light fixture in the bathroom. They also installed a motion sensor light on the outside. It was quite a bit.

Barry was great....called an hour before alerting me that he was in traffic. Ended up coming in a timely manner. Looked at the shower door and wall, told me what the issue was, gave the estimate etc. Very profesional. Also looked at an unfinished closet area and informed me on what that job would entail. Overall very satisfied with their work. Would definitely use again.

First impression was great....sent an email on the weekend inquiring about services, estimates, timelines, etc. and received a response within the hour. Handy Hero as a company is extremely flexible - first and foremost. They worked around my hours and were able to schedule and accomplish the work within a day or two. The technician did a great job. He didn't have to read any directions for anything that he installed (lots of experience), had all the equipment necessary to complete the work, very nice guy and easy to work with. He also called ahead and was flexible throughout the whole process. I will use this company again for other projects. They have the right guy for the job and I've already told my friends about Handy Hero cause once you find a good handyman, you tell others....so I'm telling y'all.

First, I have used Judy as the painter and wallpaper removal in the past. She is A++++. I have lived in my house for over 30 years and had at least 4 other painters. Interior painters I had before her I had to call back and it was still not right. Judy does it right the first time. Barry removed my popcorn ceiling and installed a new light fixture in my dining room and did a great job. Very easy to work with and very professional. Glen repaired my roof and ceiling and cleaned my gutters. Again, easy to work with and very professional. He also found another leak I had on the roof and fixed it. I am VERY IMPRESSED with the quality of work from everyone. The even better part is they CLEAN-UP. I have had so many workers that have left a mess. This is the company I will use to do everything they do. They are busy because they are good.

I emailed Handy Hero about installing a new shower door purchased from Home Depot and I was emailed back within a few hours - the fastest response time I received after spending a week of contacting multiple other companies. David, the repairman, installed the door and was very professional. He explained the installation process and warranty information to us. Even though the service took a little over 2 hours he did not charge me for the additional time. I would definitely use them again for future projects.
