Art came to our house the same day we called him for an estimate. His suggestions to improve our damaged closet were reasonable and exactly what we were looking for. He came a few days later with all of the materials needed for the job which saved us a trip to the hardware store. We were very satisfied with the results. We plan on using Art for all future handyman projects.

I called Art because I had dropped the long handled lint brush I was using to clean out the dryer lint into the trap and could not retrieve it. I did not want to run the dryer until this item was removed. Art came out at a time that was convenient for me and was courteous and professional. He had to take off the back of the dryer to retrieve the brush and then carefully vacuumed out all the lint and did a thorough cleaning. I am really happy with the job. I was embarrassed by the stupid situation I found myself in but it was handled professionally and promptly. I will happily call Art again for future jobs.

We had an emergency and he came out immediately. We called and told him we had an emergency, he was out within 45 minutes. He is a really good guy, very honest. He is very courteous. We have always been very happy with him. We would very highly recommend him to others! He has done a lot of work for us, if it is something that he can't do he tells us! All of the work he has done for us has been really good!
Description of Work: He took care of some plumbing for us. He has done a lot of work for us throughout the years.
We have always had a great experience with Art. He provides a great quality of service and charges a very fair rate for what he does for us. We shopped around before picking Art and have used him 7-10 times so far and have been very pleased. He calls back right away, comes when he says he will be there and gets the job done. He even remembers our son's name and feels like a handy family member when he comes over. I'm a tough critic and Art impresses me enough to actually write this review (I rarely post on Angie's List). Look no further and pick Art.
Description of Work: Art has been out to our house multiple times and fixed various items. Electrical, outlet, cleaned out dryer vent, painting, fence work, etc.

It went great. Art has all of the tools in his car and seems to have great handyman knowledge to do many various things. Yes, his hourly rate seemed expensive at first, but he keeps it in perspective to what he is able to get done. He was here for almost 3 hours, and only charged an hour and a half because of some things that slowed him down that he said was his fault. He seems like an honest good guy, which is hard to find. The door works and looks great. He said he's coming back tomorrow to do some touch-ups to the door for no cost. I will definitely be hiring him again for future house projects (which we have plenty of...).

Art returned my call promptly. I had a whole list of little things with which I needed help, so I asked him for his hourly rate. He advised it was $70 / hour, which is crazy for handyman services. When I acted shocked, he got defensive and told me he had many years of experience. NO ONE should pay more than $50 / hour, tops. I have since found 2 handymen (who also have years of experience, and are as picky as me!) for $35 / hour.

Response from Art The Fix-It Guy
If my tone seemed offensive to the member, I apologize; it was not intentional. My endeavor is to be the best, not necessarily the cheapest. Which is why I try to tell a new prospect what my rate is during the initial phone call. Please note that I never did any work for this member.

I am impressed with my experience with this company. There were several irregular issues with the house that required additional work and knowledge to install my new door. The contractor was very professional and knowledgeable about getting this done. He put in extra effort to make sure it was done right.

We hired Art to build a new window box to replace one that was falling apart. He came to the house, took the measurements, and returned to his shop to make the window box. When he finished he returned and installed the box with no issues. While he was at our house, he noticed that the front door was not closing properly and fixed it on the spot. Art is great for all of those projects you wish you had time to get to but life gets in the way. We will certainly call again when we have another job.

I was very happy with his work. There was nothing bad about my experience with him. He was there when he said he would be. He was very prompt and very courteous. He was very neat and very polite. My husband was there most of the time. If he ran into any problems, he consulted with my husband and decided the best way to complete the project. My husband handled the finances. His quality of work was very good. He came prepared and had everything in his car that he needed; he didn’t have to go back for something.

Art gave me specific information on the type of door knobs I needed, once I got them I called and he was at my house within 24 hours. My house is old and of coarse with any projects their were issues and more work involved. Art was professional, and very thorough. I will be using him in the future for all my handy man projects, he is defintely someone you can trust and depend on.
Description of Work: I went to open my front door and the door handle pulled off in my hand, leaving my door open and unable to close and secure.I called Art on a Saturday morning and once he heard that my front door would not close he came right over. He fixed the door so that I could secure it closed and then told me what I needed to get in order for him to install a new door knob. I also needed a second door knob changed and keyed so that they all used the same master key.

Went very well. He came on a Sat. afternoon. Very accommodating. He was able to come earlier than the appt, as I got home from an appt earlier than expected. He looked at everything and gave me an estimated time it would take to fix things. He had all the parts and off to work he went. He even fixed a couple of things he saw needed to be fixed like my front door latch and toliet paper holder which came lose. Great job! Would call him again.
Description of Work: Lots! Fixed sink, 2 toliets, toliet seats, toliet paper holder, closet door handle, front door handle, shower drain, bathroom sink drain.
