I do apologize for not showing up. We had an emergency job and I had forgotten to get your phone number. I had no way to contact you I tried to do a reverse lookup on Whitepages for a landline but you don't have one. I do apologize and this does not happen.

Angie's list best come up with another method of payment. It is wrong to be charged for a service-through the web site-then have the professional never show up. Its a great way to make money but you have an unhappy homeowner. I will never use the site again. Please cancel my membership to Angie's list.
Description of Work: I assume I was charged $75 to have a kitchen faucet installed-this is what I purchased through Angie's list. The plumber (staff) responded to my email once, scheduled the job then never showed up. I sent 3 emails-very polite-asking when the faucet would be installed with no response. Obviously, my job was too small for the plumber when other jobs brought in more revenue.

[Member Name Removed] you have every right to be upset. I'm sorry there was a family crisis that couldn't be helped. I will be glad to refund you the money and install for free. I can do next week. Again I'm sorry for the inconvenience

Since it was striped it did not hold well . I bought a new faucet called Elaine and Marcus came back out next day and installed the faucet for only an additional 50.00. crediting me 50.00 from the day before.. The communication with Handier Than Thou was excellent promptly returned my calls , I had called other companies and did not get a call back or they did not answer their phone from some of them. to be fair their were a few who did promptly answer and polite.
Description of Work: Replace kitchen sink sprayer. It was leaking and Elaine had Marcus come out first thing in the morning . Marcus replaced the sprayer that I had purchased the night before , advised me the connection was striped on my 21 year old faucet and needs to be replaced { his professional recommendation} he put it on and said if we bought a faucet he would credit the 50.00 we paid. That is honest bushiness in my book .

Elaine promptly responded to my online booking Saturday, then scheduled the faucet install right away. I purchased a matching light fixture and messaged to Elaine if the handyman could install it on the same day. The answer was "of course". Marcus and his helper were prompt, professional, and courteous. I will use and recommend this company to family, friends, and neighbors.

Marcus from Handier than thou did a very good job replacing our 2 bathroom faucets. He was efficient, professional, and seemed very competent. I was extremely pleased with the pricing of the job. Another "A-rated" Angie LIst plumbing company quoted 600.00 for a job that Handier than Thou did for $140.00. Scheduling was a little challenging. It took over a week to get the plumber to my house. My interactions with the office were pleasant but I found myself having to take the initiative to call first to find out where things stood with scheduling. Overall, very pleased and would use their services again.

I had to call for a status on the service - when I got no-showed for the first two scheduled appointments. Maintained an open dialogue and got the job done finally. The owner came along for the service call on my third scheduled visit.

The owner said that we would receive a returned call with a time for the service to be performed. The next day, after the call didn't come in, I called them twice, received voice mail both times, and left a message that we were waiting for the call. The company never called back. Frankly, I don't understand why they are in business if they do not want to have customers. I cannot recommend a firm that doesn't know how to return a call, so even if they are fantastic, there is no excuse for not responding to a customer.
Description of Work: I called this provider last week to see about repairing a plumbing problem. The owner answered and said that they could come out the next day, and that she would call me with a time. They did not perform the service.

Well, it didn't start off very well as he was 3 l/2 hours past promised time. However, I was able to keep up with his messages and he did let me know he'd be late. I guess it was a more difficult job than expected, lots of quirky hoses and things - but he stayed for at least two hours until he got it right. He was pleasant and efficient. He told me that there was usually an extra charge when hoses had to be cut and things had to be "fitted," but he let those charges go because he was so late All in all, he did a fine job.

I purchased the Big Deal for bathroom faucet installation. Initial communication with Handier Than Thou got off to a rocky start. The owner indicated some personal unforeseen circumstances accounted for the communication problems. Due to weather and traffic the installer Marcus Oliver arrived later than the scheduled 5pm time. Marcus did a professional job in replacing the faucet. In the end I was pleased with the service of Handier Than Thou and will use them in the future.

Bought deal through Angie's List after confirming they served my area. Was told that I would hear from the company within 48 hours to schedule. After more than that time had passed and still did not hear from anyone, I contacted them. No one returned my phone call. Later on I received a brief email stating that they would not serve my area. If I had not contacted them I would have never heard from anyone and they would have kept my money. Now I'm trying to battle to get my money refunded.

[member name removed] I cannot apologize enought for not getting back to you. I was out of town at a family funeral. I didn't want to post that on my message but i do need to explain. I didn't even see your message until yesterday. I had very little cell service and should had someone check my messages but did not. That's my fault. We service North Fulton area I have contacted my service rep to verify that. I am a small company that was started as a husband/wife team until I lost my husband last year to a heart attack 6 months later loss my mom and last week my stepmom. I understand your frustration and being upset. I assure you Angie's list will refund your money. Thanks. Elaine

No issues. It was a 3 person team that arrived on time. My supply line was rusted/rotten so it started to leak after the faucets were replaced. They drove to the local hardware store and purchased the part(s) needed to correct the issue. I would definitely use them again.

I requested for a quote to build out a cabinet beneath a television and to install French doors. Elaine and a gentlemen came to my home on time, reviewed all the items and said that they would provide a quote that evening. Well after 3 days later and two unreturned phone calls we have received no quote and no follow-up so I say NO THANKS!! I will find a vendor who respects their potential customers.
