Now we have a gorgeous kitchen that is comfortable, contemporary, sensible and very attractive. The work was done in a timely and professional manner, responses were excellent, costs were communicated and transparent, and the workers sent were pleasant and respectful and always helpful. I have used this company before but this was a more extensive project and we were more than staisfied. I highly recommend.
Description of Work: We gutted a 60 year old kitchen - everything but the window - and reconfigured some of the small space - 10 x 11 only - with the owner's help and good advice.

It was a terrific experience start to finish. Anne, in the office, was unfailingly responsive and helpful. The two gentleman who did the work were excellent as well. On time, professional, kept me informed and best of all, cleaned up at the end of each day. It was a full three days of work for them and I have nothing but positive things to say about their effort. They worked very hard. I have already recommended Handymen & Mrs. Helper to a friend and I will use them again myself.

The services were terrific. Scott was very professional and went the extra mile. He accompanied the family to Home Depot to make sure the fixtures purchased would fit existing placements. He was great with my kids and dog, and chatted with them while he was here. I am very pleased with how everything turned out. Will definitely use their services again.
Description of Work: Various electrical projects around the house; replace two outdoor fixtures and wire to an existing switch, replace a fixture in bedroom and wire to a switch, investigate the switch box to make sure it is working properly.

Excellent! Andy Bigane and his team were professional, very reasonably priced, and extremely trustworthy. The lead carpenter, Steve, went the extra mile to correct all the problems the previous contractor's subs made. He is truly a perfectionist and treated our home like he would his own. He, the painter, the drywaller, the wood floor specialist, and everyone else who came to work were so professional and very concerned that everything was completed to our satisfaction. We never once had to worry about what was being done. The job was completed on time and UNDER THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE. After the nightmare that was left for us by the original contractor, we are so relieved to finally have our new porch and we could not be more pleased with Handy Men & Mrs. Helper. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!

I selected this company for several projects in my home based on the wonderful reviews I saw here and I am so very glad that I did! We started with a bathroom that was totally remodeled and replacement of the kitchen counter/sink and replacement of a tile backspash. Next up they repaired the basement staircase/installed a new handrail and refinished the hardwood floors. I was so thrilled with the experience and the results that I brought them back to remove popcorn ceilings and to paint the walls and ceilings. Right now they are finishing up a second bathroom remodel that is also gorgeous. I cannot say enough good about this company. Andy, Anne and Ginger were so very professional, honest and helpful in getting the projects and estimate work orders set up. Each of the tradesmen were also extremely helpful in explaining what was being done ( I am inquisitive) and were there on time and very careful to protect the floors, etc and clean up after completion of the work. Thank you Urmas, Scott, Rein, Virgo and Heath for sharing your finely honed skills with us. It has been a pleasure to work with each of you. Quotes for the work were competitive and any minor concerns I had or add-ons I requested were addressed promptly and fairly. I will be using this company again next year for other projects; no need to look elsewhere, they are trustworthy and wonderfully skilled.

I designed a simple mantel for my fireplace using architectural styrofoam. My fireplace had a white marble surround and a 9' mirror above it. I did not want to drill holes in the mirror or the marble so this was another situation that had to be considered - how to hang the mantel without drilling holes in the marble and the mirror. I wanted HMMHKB to have someone build and install the mantel per my design and instructions. Steve arrived as scheduled and we went over the details of my design. After careful review, we found that my design was not feasible due to the lack of the proper sized material. Steve re-worked my design and came up with an option that was satisfactory to me. He was very meticulous and precise in making sure that the marble and the mirror were accommodated - trimming the back of the mantel piece to accommodate the marble and mirror and trimming the corbels to accommodate the depth of the mantel. The mantel is perfect. Simple, contemporary and just what I wanted. I have used HMMHKB on several major projects in my home and once again they provided me with a true craftsman. Their work is superb and the entire staff is a joy to work with. I highly recommend HMMHKB for any remodeling or handyman services you require.
Description of Work: I wanted to have a mantel installed on my fireplace, have a door knocker installed on my front door, and have an electronic (Ring) door bell installed.

Martin started on a Friday laying down tarps and drop cloths to prevent damage to my newly installed epoxied garage floor. He had to remove three Heavy Lift Storage Hoists before any work could be done. Once the hoists were removed, he completed the re-wiring for two new electrical outlets and four light fixtures. On Monday, Vergo and Martin returned to begin work on insulating the garage before drywall was installed. Vergo and Martin worked diligently on the insulation and the drywall before Rein joined them on Wednesday to help with the taping and mudding of the walls and ceilings. Painting was started on Thursday, Heavy Lift Storage Hoists were re-installed and all work was completed by Friday. I have had Handy Men & Mrs. Helper Kitchen and Baths do several renovation jobs on my home and have always been thoroughly pleased with their staff. Everyone is very knowledgeable, competent, punctual, courteous, and diligent in performing their work. I could not be happier with the work that Martin, Vergo, and Rein did. My garage is so beautiful I think I may just convert it to a family room. Thank you once again Handy Men & Mrs. Helper for a job well done.

The project went very well. Andy the owner was good to work with to spec out the job and coordinate the work. Scott was the main master carpenter who did the job from demolition to retiling and fixture installation.
Description of Work: Our master bathroom was very old and the toilet and shower started to leak into the ceiling of the kitchen below. We needed the whole bathroom redone and subfloor replaced as well as the kitchen ceiling drywalled and painted.

2-3 week project turned into 4-5 weeks but communication with Mike and Steve project lead and carpenter remained open and friendly. Work was very good, work through a few unexpected obstacles with medicine cabinet and wrong material ordered. Things that happen during this type of remodel. The crew from HMMH remained positive and willing to do whatever was needed to keep the ball moving down the field, I would definely recmened to close freind or familiy memeber if they need work doen on house.
