This was the second time that I used Handy men and Mrs. Helper. The work was done in Sept 2006, so this review is a bit late in coming. Ray, the painter worked painstaking on repairing the bedroom wall (it needed repair because French doors were added to the entry way to the master-bath and the area where the doors attached "pulled apart from wall" FYI, this was done by my husband). After Ray finished the repair and painted, you can't even tell that the area had been repaired--it was that good. All the painting was beautifully done and the repair to the wall that was damaged where the mirror was looks great. Ray was on time, kept the areas where he was working clean and all in all had done an excellent job. Faith was great to deal with as this painting job was kind of spur of the moment because they had just finished painting my living, dining, kitchen, hallways and 1/2 bath. So when that job was finished, I thought "I need more painting done." Faith scheduled this job right away.
Description of Work: Painting of master bedroom, master bath and hall bath. Repair of wall in master bedroom. Also, painting of one side of each of garage entry door and the front door. Removal of large glued on the wall master bathroom mirror. Painting of small step leading into house from garage.

I am submitting this information a bit late, as the work was done in Sept 2006. But, better late then never! This had to be the best painting job I have ever seen! Not a drop of paint anywhere, perfect seams from the top of the wall to where the ceiling meet. Urmas, the painter, even went beyond his painting duties and removed 2 large glued to the wall bathroom mirrors for me. With this removal, the walls needed to be repaired and this was done wonderfully as well. Also, having had granite installed in the kitchen and 1/2 bath a week before the wall area above where the original back splash had to be repaired and this was done to the point where you couldn't even tell that the wall was damaged. Beautiful, beautiful job.
Description of Work: Painting of living, dining, kitchen, 2 hallways, 1/2 bath, laundry room. This cost also included the ceilings and trim.

Very well! We were very pleased with how large of an opening they were able to do. We had a little problem with the drywall after the fact. However, within a couple of days of alerting Rod and Faith, the problem was remedied. Excellent customer service. We will definitely be calling for quotes etc. again.

THEY GLADLY ACCEPTED THE PRICE AS IT WAS FIXED AND NO EXTRA CHARGES WERE MADE FROM THE ORIGINAL ACCEPTED QUOTE. ALSO, CONSIDERING THAT WE FIXED SOME ELECTRICAL THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD DONE INCORRECTLY, AS WE NOTICED IT WHEN WORKING, AND WE DID NOT CHARGE THEM FOR IT. WE WERE GLAD TO WORK FOR THEM AND HOPE TO DO ADDITIONAL JOBS FOR THEM IN THE FUTURE. THANKS AGAIN FOLKS.

Called this company to have two windows taken out of the side of my house. He told me he didn't have to look at the job it would be a minimum of two thousand dollars. I asked him how much he gets a hour and he told me 80 dollars. When I asked him if there is 24 hours work involved he said no but there were a lot of other cost. They get the material you don't and its so they can make money on it. Also travel time is a cost also. I think this guy is a huge rip off and IM sure I can find a carpenter for 50 dollars a hour in cash and do the same job for half. I would never recommend these people for anything ever!
Description of Work: Never let do the work.

I HAD A BRIEF & VERY COURTEOUS CONVERSATION WITH THE MEMBER CONCERNING REMOVING HIS WINDOWS. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN BEING VERY PROFESSIONAL, EVIDENCED BY THE COMMENTS OUR CUSTOMERS POST! I WANTED TO DISCUSS WITH HIM WHAT WAS INVOLVED AND GIVE HIM A BALLPARK TO DETERMINE IF WE SHOULD GO DO A FORMAL ESTIMATE. REMOVING WINDOWS REQUIRES FRAMING, AND INSULATING THE EXTERIOR, VAPOR BARRIER AND RE-SIDING THE AREA OUTSIDE TO MAKE IT LOOK CORRECT. WE DON’T LIKE TO JUST PUT ON A PATCH THAT WILL LOOK BAD. THE INTERIOR NEEDS TO BE DRY WALLED, TAPED, PRIMED AND PAINTED. WE DO NOT UP CHARGE OUR MATERIAL ON A JOB LIKE THIS AS THE MEMBER ASSUMES. HE SEEMED TO BE MAKING MANY ASSUMPTIONS. THIS IS ONE OF OUR BIG SELLING POINTS, WE DO PASS ON DISCOUNTS WE GET FROM OUR SUPPLIERS, AND WE PAY OUR TAXES SO WE DO NOT ACCEPT CASH ON THE SIDE, WHICH HE INFERRED HE COULD GET A CARPENTER FOR $50 HOUR CASH…. WE ALSO DO OUTSTANDING WORK, ARE INSURED (UNLIKE MANY OTHERS) AND WILL BE HERE FOR YOU IF ISSUES EVER SHOULD ARISE. WHEN A CUSTOMER IS A GOOD DISTANCE WE SOMETIMES ASK FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES TO COVER OUR COST AND A POTION OF OUR TIME. MANY TIMES WE SPEND EXTRA TIME ON THE PHONE DURING THE INITIAL CALL TO SEE IF WE ARE THE RIGHT CONTRACTORS FOR THE JOB AND TO HELP THE CUSTOMER UNDERSTAND WHAT IS INVOLVED. WE ALSO TRY AND GIVE FOLKS AN IDEA UP FRONT OF WHAT’S INVOLVED SO WE DON’T WASTE THEIR TIME OR OURS. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS SORRY I COULDN’T HELP HIM WHEN HE THOUGHT OUR PRICE WAS HIGH. OH WELL!!

When I first contacted them, Faith answered the phone. She was extremely polite and wanted only to help in any way they can. The process of setting up the appointment was surprisingly fast and Faith constantly kept me updated. The gentleman who came (the following day! WOW) was incredibly friendly and did the work quickly and with little to no mess (considering it was drywall work). (The name of the employee escapes me at the moment, but he was EXCELLENT!). I cannot say enough about this company. USE them and you will be very happy with your results. The cost was reasonable and all questions surrounding the price were answered. I give them the highest rating!

We're very pleased with the work and would highly recommend Handymen & Mrs Helper to anyone with a residential remodeling project.
Description of Work: Work was performed in our master bedroom. Handymen & Mrs Helper hung the last wall of drywall needed and then taped/muddied the entire room, including the ceiling. Also, they installed trim around windows & doors, baseboards, & crown. They primed walls & woodwork.

My experience was very positive. On the first project, we had forgotten one piece of hardware and Scott suggested replacing the disposal as it was ten years old. Scott went the extra mile and found a good deal on the part. For the second, Rod recommended ordering a custom cabinet and suggested a company that could help us with that (it turned out to be the builder of our previous house). Both projects turned out beautifully and I was very pleased with their professionalism.
Description of Work: The project was broken into two phases. First, installation of a new sink and faucet and repair of a leaking toilet. The second was to build a bookcase.

The experience was great. Rannet arrived on time and performed the job in a professional manner. Some days later I noticed some water streaks on the wall in my bathroom. Rannet came out the next day and repainted the walls with the water streaks using a different finish. It came out beautifully. My experience with this company has been outstanding. I had other Handyman work done by Scott. Both are an asset to the company.

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND THE FAITH YOU HAVE IN US! SOMETIMES WHEN FOLKS WASH THEIR HANDS AND GO TO DRY THEM ON THE TOWELS HANGING IN BATHROOMS, MANY TIMES THE WATER WILL SPLASH ON THE WALLS, AND SOMETIMES SHOW STREAKS UNLESS YOU USE AN EGGSHELL FINISH. THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS OCCUR, BUT SOMETIMES DOES. IT'S A GOOD REMINDER FOR US WHEN CUSTOMERS ASK FOR FLAT PAINT IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF WATER SPLASHING, TO MAYBE CONSIDER A MATT OR EGGSHELL FINISH.

We got a quick response to our call to the company. We called on Tuesday and had work scheduled for that Friday. Jay, the electrician, arrived on time and had the wiring to the electrical box in the garage well in hand within 20 minutes of his arrival. The electrical outlet on the front porch looks great and will come in handy with the XMAS holidays approaching. The replacement of foyer light also went smoothly and Jay was very open to our opinion of the desired height which was very different from the previous fixture. We hit one snag when it came to the installation of the new track lighting. Upon Jay's first attempt, the track was not even from the ceiling and we did not know if it was feasible for it to be even without further evaluation. We contacted the company and they agreed to have Jay come back to evaluate and possible correct. Jay quickly responded and agreed to come the very next business day to address. Jay was able to resolve the problem.
Description of Work: Installed new electrical outlet on front porch. Wired existing electrical box that had no wiring to it in garage. Replaced foyer lighting with fixture we had purchased. Replaced track lighting with new track lighting we had purchased. Evaluate wiring to one switch in our family room.

Faith responded promptly to my call and set up an appointment with handyman Scott. Scott arrived as promised and was helpful in every way in executing these varied jobs, going far beyond the scope of my original request. Both Faith and Scott were very professional, inspiring confidence in their integrity as well as their ability to achieve a favorable outcome. Both Faith and Scott called after completion of the work to be sure that work was completed satisfactorily. I would definitely call again and have already given out business cards to two neighbors. Highly recommended! People of caring, competence, consideration, and integrity!
Description of Work: We have a six-year-old house in an over-55 community. The house is generally problem-free, but we need occasional maintenance that my husband cannot perform. I called Handymen and Mrs. Helper for a variety of exterior and interior jobs; assessing possible damage from the previous week's storm, plus installing basement ceiling panels, replacing light bulbs in a two-story great room and stairwell, and repair of a toilet fill valve (small but difficult tasks for a senior citizen). To determine the condition of the exterior of the house, Scott brought ladders to climb to the first and second levels of the house, checking out the windows and chimney flashing, giving me a satisfactory and full report. Inside, he went right to work on the needed tasks in a very professional manner. All work was satisfactory. I would definitely call again!

We hired Handyman and Mrs. Helper to do the work at 546 1/2 W Surf, Chicago. They subcontracted the work to Santiago and his crew. Although we haven't seen the finished work, we are quite satisfied from the photos and report our daughter sent. (We will finish the painting.) I am amazed that within one week the entire project was done (installation of floor, ceiling and wall patching work.) The responsiveness was amazing. We would give them the highest rating.

went well from start to finish. Scott is a perfectionist. He told me the job would take a little less time then it actually did but he did not charge me when he had to stay a little later. Customer Service is alive and well. I have had horror stories with other contractors, but this company treated you professional and respectful. I will use them again and highly recommend them. They will be coming out next Monday to finish framing 1 door with drywall and then paint the room. I would very highly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: They sent out Scott to do the work. I could not have been more happier. He was there exactly when I was told he would arrive. What a pleasure it was to work with both Scott and Faith. He framed in five doorways inside and outer trim. Did a great job.

I had service the same week I called for an appointment. A second visit was scheduled because I was unclear about the scope of the work. Also the building inspector added things necessary when he came for the first inspection. This was not the fault of the company but they sent the repairman immediately to do the remaining work. Before they even began the company made sure I was getting full value for the time required. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We needed drywall added in a very small uncomfortable crawl space to close a building permit. Drywall had to be cut and put in place with a very small opening to the area. Also, fiberglass insulation was to be laid in the attic.

Exceptional responsiveness and workmanship. Faith was always very prompt in returning calls, following up on specifics requests, scheduling appointments, and outlining costs and understanding what we wanted and needed. Workers called the night before to confirm the appointment and called in the morning to let us know exactly when they would arrive. Work was done expertly on all projects, workers were easy to have in the house and cleaned up very well. Faith also called afterwards to make sure that everything was done to our satisfaction. Also liked that we could communicate via email which made the whole experience much more convenient for us. This is a service oriented company through and through and they have superb workmanship.
Description of Work: We had numerous projects that we ''saved up'' to have fixed. Repaired bathroom walls and reinstalled bead boarding which had buckled. Fixed several kitchen drawers that were stuck, recycling bin drawer that was broken, french door handle that was broken, keyless door entry that didn't work. Recaulked large walk in master bathroom shower. Strengthen/reinstalled many towel hooks/toilet paper holders. Cemented and fixed post for split rail fence.

We selected Handyman & Mrs Helper from Angie's List, and wanted to get the job done in the next two weeks. After the job began, each night John called and asked how it looked. He always cared for any issues we hd the following day. When they were done, they cleaned everything up and left a note on how to contact them if we had any issues.
Description of Work: Faith Southard returned our phone call the same day we left the message. She had John Madden (painter) come and do the estimate. He left paint samples and had many good suggestions. Faith promptly returned the estimate, and was very flexible in scheduling the actual work. The job took 3 days. They painted the front hall, stairwell and second floor hallway, master bedroom and family room.
